  • having trouble getting son that just turned 5 to poop in the potty?

    My son just turned 5 this week, and he will stand to pee in the potty, he will even get up on his own to do so. We have actually been able to get him to try to sit on the potty but he will not have a BM in it at all, he will even use it in his pull-up afterwards and we even have problems with him actually telling us he is dirty. Please help, we really need to get him passed this problem seeing that he is 5 now and he needs to be able to start school in less than a month. Any advice is helpful, thank you so much.

  • Lump under armpit?

    I have found a lump under my right armpit , the lump is painful and

    feels like a cyst to me. I know I have risks of getting cancer because I have family members that have gotten it, although none have been breast cancer. I have been having alot of different tenderness but in the left breast and felt what felt like a small knot in the left one but seems to not be there now. I plan on speaking to my doctor tomorrow, but wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas what else this could be if nothing else to ease my mind. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

  • Suing a bank?

    Is it possible to sue a bank that keeps on saying that items have gone through on your account then they seem to resend it a second time so it costs a NSF fee because you only had enough for it go through the one time? I have proof by recording that they had already taken the amounts for the items out of my checking account, but then they took it again and it caused a insufficient funds fees. Help! I cant keep paying for things twice as they have been doing all year, but now I finally have some proof. Is there really anything I can do other than switching banks, which I already plan on doing? Thanks.

  • Having a toddler baptized into Catholicism?

    We are going to have our almost 3 year old son baptized into the Catholic faith. I know that when you have an infant baptized they wear a white outfit called a Christening gown, but at his age would he be required to wear a white outfit? If not, what else is suitable for this occasion? I am really excited for him, but I want to follow any guidelines they have for this. I am not Catholic as of yet so that is why I am unsure. Thanks for your help.

  • Do you need to get a degree in a foreign language...?

    Do you need to have an actual degree in a foreign language to be able to use it for eomployement purposes? Or will they accept you just being able to communicate it and read it well? Also what besides Spanish would you consider to be a beneficial language to learn? I want to learn Spanish and Japanese at least, but I hope it isnt too difficult now that I am older.

  • What can I give my son who is almost 3 for nausea?

    My son is almost 3 yrs old, and he has gotten sick this morning, I was not sure of what over the counter type thing I could give hime to keep him throwing up again? If it does not work then I will call the doctor, he does not have fever or diarrhea. I think because it is so hot here right now that he just got a little sick. Thank you for your help.

  • how do you get ink off a suede like couch?

    My 2 1/2 year old son thought it would be cute to draw with a pen on our almost new couch. Needless to say that my hubby's idea of using shaving cream to get it off did not work. It is a light beige color so the ink shows up really well, any other ideas? We love this couch and have only had it a couple of months so we really want to keep it looking nice if possible. Thanks for your help. :)

  • Question about being Bipolar????

    I have been told I was Bipolar for about 8 years now, however the medicines they put me on (sometimes several at a time) seemed to worsen whatever condition I seemed to be having, they are now saying that I am still Bipolar but that I am hypomanic? And that is why I have been doing well without meds for about 6mos to a year? Can this be true? How do I know for sure that it is Bipolar and not the meds that they put me on that was triggering all the episodes I had that stemmed from depression in the beginning? I want to take meds if that is what I need to be ok, but for the 1st time ever in long while I have been good, normal even. whatver normal is anyways. but I am so afraid that if they are wrong and it was meds that caused my problems that it will happen again when they want me to start up on meds again. any advice welcome, but please be serious, no jokes please. :)

  • Question about signing dependency paper for custody of a child?

    My mother has filed to receive temporary custody of my daughter while my daughters father is filing to get sole custody of her, they have filed what is called a "dependency clasue" paper stating i am unable to care for her. all of this done for reasons that will take alot of typing to explain. it is not that i cant care for her or that i haven;t taken good care of her bc i have, she is very hard to control and has done better with living with her dad. my question is i also have a son, not by same dad, i want to know if they can say that because i let my mom have temp custody of her under that depend thing can they come back and say that maybe i cant care for my son either? i have plenty of people that would always say i have always provided excellent care of both my kids, which i have, just want to be sure i am prepared for anything that might happen bc of this. any advice or tips helpful. thanks.
