  • Should I take a break from potty training my toddler?

    My 2 1/2 yr old son has been showing signs of readiness for potty training since he was 2 but we have held off due to lack of bladder control. We have been letting him walk around the house without a diaper for periods of time for a while now and have decided to give it a try. He does great if I can get him on the potty. He will sit and pee and even have a bowel movement but he will not tell me before he has to go.

    Should I hold off on potty training or is this just a matter of working with him to develop that self control? I am worried that if I back off now and wait that we will loose any progress that we have made. Anyone who has had similar problems?

    I don't want to rush him or put too much pressure on him but I feel like he is ready.

    Thank you

  • What does my dream mean?

    I keep having dreams about a guy friend from high school. These dreams are becoming much more frequent and are usually sexual in nature. I am married and it is really starting to worry me as to why I keep having these dreams.

  • What can I do to help make sure my son is taken care of once I leave my husband?

    My husband and I have been together for 8 years and things keep getting worse. I have a 1 1/2 year old son with him and my husband just ignores him. I get no help around the house with my son or any of the household chores. I know that it wont be easier doing it all by myself but at least I will have the opportunity to find happiness somewhere else. I also don't want my son to grow up with parents that are always fighting. It's never bad but it's not something I want my son to see all of the time. I have a good job that will help carry us through and I am willing to sacrifice everything that I need to to make sure that my son has everything.

    To all the women that have done it before. What should I know and be prepared for once I go? I am affraid of being alone, how long will that feeling last before I get used to the idea?

  • Technical school for nursing?

    I am wanting to go back to school to become an RN but the technical schools out here cost $40,000 from start to finish. I looked into community college but it will take me roughly 5 years to finish with the waitlist.

    Is it worth spending the extra money to know that I can start working years sooner than if I went to community school? Also do the people attending technical school tend to be more dedicated to completing school?

    Do employers care how I got my RN as long as I pass the exam?

    We just started signing to my 9 month old son and ever since we started he seems to be very frustrated by everything. Is this because of the signing or is this just a stage? Should I stop trying?

  • Separation anxiety or nightmare?

    Last night my 8 month old son woke up screaming. This is unusual for him, he never wakes up during the night. I was able to console him but he wouldn't close his eyes, we were up with him for almost 2 hours trying to get him to go back to sleep, he looked scared and confused but wouldn't go to sleep. Now today he was clingy to me and we faced the same issues around nap times. Is it just the start of separation anxiety or was it a nightmare?

    Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do? I am very worried about this as my son is a great sleeper and we have never had any problem like this before.

  • Can my family handle moving to MD?

    My husband is looking at a job transfer from Denver, CO to Washington D.C. I don't know much about the east coast but I hear that the crime rate in MD is outrageous and the cost of living in D.C. is unreal.

    Is there any area within a decent commute time that would even begin to resemble Denver? We are looking for a decent suburb with a low crime rate that won't cost us a fortune.

    Should I just stay home?

  • Trouble with Milk supply?

    My son was born last week and he was doing great with breastfeeding. Now he seems to be spitting up more often, almost like he is choking on the milk while he is nursing. This worries me, but my breasts now feel softer than they first did. I am worried that my milk supply is getting low because I am doing something wrong during feeding. Has anyone else experienced these same problems and can tell me what I should do?

  • Is my husband gay?

    I have found gay pictures saved on my husbands computer several times. When I questioned him about it he said that it is just an insecurity that he has about the size of his penis, he compares himself to these guys. I can understand the insecurity that a person has in a world so focused on sex but the men in these pictures are quiet young, clearly of legal age but still young. Should I worry that he is gay or just currious? Is it normal to compare yourself like that?

  • Pregnant and laid off?

    I am 29 weeks pregnant and was informed today that I am being laid off. I don't fee that I am being laid off because I am pregnant but the severance package that is offered wont cover me thru the end of the pregnancy. I am only getting one month of heath insureance and I am due in two. Do I have any sort of legal standing to ask that they pay me for more and cover my heath insurence for longer?

  • My friends stopped talking to me. Ideas?

    I have been friends with these three ladies at work for some time now, two of whom are sisters. A few weeks ago one of the sisters went into a mental hospital. Today she came back but wouldn't even talk to me. I called her to make sure she was okay, and even offered to watch her dog until she got better. Now none of the three women will talk to me. They purposely walk around my desk at the office. I really just want to understand what I could have done that would make these people treat me like this. How do I keep working with these people without showing how hurt I am?
