My daughter has had 13 ear infections since 3 months old. She is now 22 months and another one has occured. I asked the docted for a ENT referral and he feels she doesn't need it. Luckily I don't need one from my insurance and made an appt. I value my Pediatricians decisions but the antibiotics don't seem to work anymore. There have been times when my Ped has seen my dtr for other issues and noticed fluid and build up in her ears. She doesn't seem to have a hearing problem and has started to talk more. Any suggestions?

I have about 70$ in Israeli Shekel and never exchanged the money in the airport when I returned home. Do I have to go to an Israeli bank or any bank is ok. I live in NYC so we have almost every bank here.

I am married and taking my daughter 6 years old out of the country. We are stopping over in one country Turkey and then moving on to Israel. We have passports and my husband had to sign consent for my daughter to get a passport. The question came up that I might need a notorized letter that my spouse has to sign that he is aware we are on vacation. He did this with his son from a previous marriage but they were divorced.

My son becomes so fustrated when he reads at times he cries. When we read he makes excusses that he has to go to the bathroom or starts to play with his baby sister. He guesses some words and does not like to sound out the word. He is practically gifted in math but does not do well with word problems. He can memorize sight words and did very well on spelling tests last year (first grade). I just don't know if this is an "issue" now or normal for a second grader he will be 7 in a month.

I have a netbook and would like to reduce the size of the screen so I can see the who web page. Can this be done in the control panel? I couldn't find it.

Does a person who officially have a Jr. name become a Sr. . Or, when a person has a son they name Jr. are they officially a Sr. Does the Jr. and Sr. go on a birth certificate?

I have an amazing babysitter but she tends to talk a lot. When I return home I feel that is when the clock stops. My husband feels she should be paid until ready to walk out the door. Not sure if there is proper ettiquette in this situation.

Just curious and do they both do the job?

My 6 year old son has a cavity. The dentist wants to put a filling in which breaks my heart. I asked whats the point if the tooth will just fall out? He mentioned the tooth is in the back and can stay in for another 6 years. What is the process for a 6 year old to get a filling? Very nervous about this.

I was nursing my daughter stroking her head and neck and felt this pea size lump. When I touched it she didn't seem to mind. She is eating, no fever, smiling , etc. Not sure if this is a lymph node but will call her pediatrician. Just wondering if any other moms have had the experience to ease my anxiety.

I know my husbands password he had given it to me with trust. I am currently home on maternity and maybe too much time on my hands. In the light of Tiger Woods and Jesse James I started to get curious about my husbands emails and such. Well wouldn't you know it he had a flirty email to a sales rep. from his job. She had emailed him back that she wanted advice about her "dead end job" and he asked her out to talk about it. They agreed to going out to wine after work one day. I confronted my husband in a round about way, saying are you happy with our marriage. He gave me some bullshit how he loves me more and more every day since this recent birth only 5 weeks ago. I told him if he was cheating on me then i have no choice to separate. He promised he has never been unfaithful or asked out another woman. I didn't have the balls to say I read his emails. Part of me is in shock and denial but hte other part wants to say , I read your emails you lying ****! So how would you handle this. I

My hubby likes Jules for a female or male name and I don't mind for a female because I would probably call the baby Julie. Has anyone heard of Jules for a female name, not very common. Can anyone think of a nice middle name for a female Jules. I was th inking Jules Eve

Ever since Obama came into office I have been listening to Hannity and Rush. They discuss Cap and Trade , not sure I understand it fully.

I am a class mom and have to arrange a holiday party in Dec. for a 1st grade class. I wasn't sure if I should ask the parents for a money donation to buy goodies and a small gift or have the parents bring in their own dishes or goodies for the party. I wanted to get the kids a small gift ex. the dollar stores here in NYC have books/pencils/erasers etc. Should I ask the parent for a small donation of 3 dollars to get that and then have them bring in their food? This is my first time doing this and would love any advice.

My ob/gyn called me today saying one of the blood works I had came back borderline positive for downsyndrome. I had a nucheal translucency test and the ultrasound and first blood test was fine. I had a second test two weeks later and this blood test was "borderline". I have been telling my ob/gyn that I do not want an amnio unless there was any question with the NT. I will also be 40 in two weeks and the Ob said due to my age the amnio is highly recommended. I am also pissed my ob had his partner call me to tell me this. There is absolutely no down syndrome or other birth defects in my family and extended family. The genticist said the only factor against me was my age. I have two healthy children 5 and 4. If I do have a down syndrome baby i will still feel blessed and love my child.

I am pregnant with my third child. My husband and I have figured out a boys name but I want to name my child, if a girl, after my maternal grandmother who was known as Irene, but my mom said her hame was actually Eve. I was thinking of Eve, Eva, Evie, or possibly Ava., Maybe those variations are more helpful.

I am 39 and will be 40 when I have baby #3. I refused amnio for my first two pregnancies, I was 34 and 35 at that time. I had a nucheal translucency test which so far seemed ok. I haven't finished the blood test for that test yet. I also met with a geneticist who stated I have a small chance of complications with family genetics, only odds against me is age. I find the amnio so invasive to a fetus.

I was watching the Tyra show and the topic was African American hair , relaxers vs. natural. Would those relaxers burn a caucasian frizzy, curly, or wavy hair?

This is my third child and I can almost swear I have that fluttering in my lower abdomen. I know it's not gas! Every so often I feel like a tickle from inside. I know the baby is moving around because the last sonogram at 9 weeks the baby was moving a lot during the sonogram.

I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks. They saw the sac but difficult to see the embryo. MD said b/c of my 2 prior c-sections it can be difficult to get a clear picture. He wants me to come back again next week. Just wondering if two sacs form or one sac can hold twins. Can one sac be hiding behind another. I have twins on both sides of my family, and my husbands, also I am 39 and have a higher rate of a twin pregnancy.
