I am a mother of 2. I recently had a snowball of challenges in my life and am always looking for ways to stay positive. I lost a fantastic paying job with flexability and in the same year my 1 year old had to have unexpected heart surgery to repair a ASD. She is doing great now and we are moving on but I still worry all the time. I am already one of those overprotective parents and that certainly did not help. I am just trying to learn to not take anything for granted.

  • Should I have a 3rd baby. Something keeps telling me I should?

    Ok I have 2 girls ages 4 and 6. I thought I would only want 2 children but have had this pressing feeling that I should have one more. My husband and I discussed it at one point and I actually got pregnant. Unfortunetely we lost the baby at 2mths. I wonder was that my sign to tell me not to have any more children? I was going to get pregnant right away again but I had a 6mth drawn out issue with a DNC. Its been about a year now since I lost the baby. I thought I had decided that we were done now but again here comes that wanting to have baby 3 again.

    Financially we are ok right now. My job is commission only and alittle shakey but there is no guarantee of what will happen there. I work from home and next year both my children will be out of the house in preschool and school. I am not sure what to do. I make decisions that yes we are doing it and then go back on it or no we are not an go back on that. I can't make a final decision.

    I also want to stop taking the pill I don't like how it makes me feel. If I had 3 I think I would feel complete.

    Some advice of comments would be nice. Just something to help me make a final decision I can stick too.

  • I was just informed 2 weeks after my 9wk miscarriage that I need a DNC this week. What to expect?

    I am 34 and have 2 healthy children. My first pregnancy ever was a miscarriage at 6wks. They sent me for a blood test and I was on my way. I now again had a miscarriage at 9weeks. I have been bleeding since the 1st of march. The doctor advised me after an ultrasound monday that I still have clots demanding blood and the pregnancy test is still positive so I need a DNC.

    I so want to just put this behind me but have never had one before what are the risks. I hope everything goes well so I can try again very soon.

  • I am a mother of a 2 and 4 year old am I the only one that feels I have no time for my husband and I?

    My husband and I were always lovey before we had children now we are like a tag team. We hardly see each other during the week cause he leaves before I wake up and I get home from work at 7-8pm 3 nights a week put the kids to bed and work out so then he is sleeping. On the weekends we are home together but running errands and taking care of the kids playing games or watching movies. I know this will pass as the kids get older but am I the only one?

  • Why do so many parents not watch their kids or disipline them?

    I won't say everytime but almost everytime I go anywhere with my children 90% of the other children are off without their parents. For instance you go to the park and watch your kids making sure they aren't coming down the slide into others or just not falling. Everytime most of the kids are running up and down the slides while their parents are no where to be found or off drinking their coffee yapping with another mom. I just can't stand it. This is why there are so many problems in the world if you have a kid be a parent!! I go to the park etc. and watch my child I don't need to watch any other children or disipline them cause no one seems to care anymore. Anyone agree with this??

  • Am I crazy? I don't allow anyone to drive my children including my parents.?

    My mother watches my kids for me 3 days a week. They are 2 and 4 and I don't like them in the car with anyone but me. She has asked for car seats but I told her I wasn't going to go buy 2 more as they are so difficult to take in and out now with all the latch tie downs and stuff. She obeys my wishes but rolls her eyes at how ridiculous she thinks I am. I tell her its not her I don't trust its all the other drivers. She still thinks its 1970 always tells me she raised 4 kids. I try to remind her alot has changed. My mom is absolutely great for watching my kids and is so interactive with them making things and teaching while she watches them. I just wish she would respect me more as a mother and being concerned for my kids. Things aren't like they used to be you always have to be on your guard from going to the store, park etc. its a crazy world out there now.
