When to Tell 4 Year Old About Pregnancy

Hello Ladies, I am 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I have a 4 year old and a 2 1/2 half year old. I recently experienced 2 miscarraiges, one in October at 6 weeks and the other in February at apx 4 weeks. Also almost a year ago I lost my mother in law, whom we were all very close with especially my 4 year old daughter. Since then she continues to ask a lot of detailed questions in regards to death. She seems okay with everything, no major problems with her since then, but just very curious. Due to this and the fact that I have had 2...

Hair Dye During Pregnancy

I am about 7 weeks pregnant and am interested if anyone dyed their hair during pregnancy. I have done a little research and it seems the information is fairly vague. I spoke with my ob and she said the decision was up to me. I am very gray and although I don't want to be vain, I do want to at least look okay, especially when I am feeling pretty rough these days. Any information would be appreciated.

Tantrums and Behaviors with 3 Year-old

My daughter turned 3 last month and in that month has gone from a sweet yet strong-willed child to a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde child.

My husband and I have tried everything we can possibly think of to a) prevent the meltdown b)deal with the meltdown c)keep her from hurting herself. We're at our wits end! To add to the...

Experiene with Toxoplasmosis?

Have you had any experience with toxoplasmosis, especially in young children? If so, tell me if you think this sounds like it. I've already looked up all the signs and symptoms and done my reserach online and that is why I think this might be toxoplasmosis. I am thinking our children might have caught toxoplasmosis from their recently adopted 6 week old kitten. Our 1-1/2-year-old daughter started running a 102 fever about Thursday and it has only seemed to break today. She's been very cranky and irritable, complaining of pain (at one...

Where Does a 4 Year Old Belong?

There is an ongoing debate between me and my husband and I wanted to get some opinions. Our living room and playroom are essentially the same room. Toys are located in the area behind the coach. When my husband gets home from work he likes to watch movies that are inappropriate to have on while my 4 year old is in the room. He feels that he is the adult and should be allowed to watch what he wants when he wants and that our 4 year old should have to go to his room to play with toys there. I disagree. I think he needs to grow up and...
