My sister, who has a daughter with autism, heard about a theory that too much folic acid in prenatals could cause autism. I just found out that I'm pregnant (naturally, after years of failed fertility treatments) and I am ecstatic and a little stunned. I've been reading everything possible and want to check this out. The folic acid is supposed to prevent spina bifida but they think that after the sixth week of pregnancy the spina bifida is there or it's not and the vitamin doesnt help after that. But maybe it overstimulates growth of the brain in the 2nd trimester leading to autism in some babies. Has anyone else heard about this. The website she saw this on is www.stopautism.net.

Sorry but I have to say, shame on you, Getting time away from your kids is more important to you then being a good mom and being there for your children? Don't get me wrong I'm a mom and know the importance of having some alone time or some adult time but there is nothing more important to me then being with my son. Nothing in the world can compare to being there to see a smile of his or getting a kiss from him (messy faced and all) If you need time to yourself or some adult time then why not join a play group, have friends over for coffee time and allow the kids to play in another room. Get a sitter and go out for a night or two during the week or let the kids have a sleepover with the grandparents and get out.

I have a 2 year old son and twin 1 year old girls. I am a stay at home mom to these wonderful kids and I go to school full-time. I am married but my husband does not help me do anything at home or with the kids unless I have to run an errand to the store. I do not go out of the house days at a time and he won't let me go out with anyone to get away and just relax. Everyone has offered that advice but hasn't offered to help take care of the children. I am just fed up staying here and I would rather be working. Each day is a struggle with the children as I hate being at home with them. I love them dearly but if they can't get out of the house either, they must feel the same way I do. There aren't any mom groups or anyone available for playdates. Does anyone have any other suggestions???? I am at my wits end and about to pull my hair out (not literally).

I can't deal with the third party Ok so I'm in love with thee perfect man. We've been married for about two months adn have a beautiful baby girl whose about two months. but I'm already going crazy. Not that he's doing anything... it's his horrible ex wife and her family. NOT just baby mama drama. Baby mama family (more specifically her sister) drama. He has a daughter from his previous marriage. I love her. No problems there. She loves me. We get along great. My whole family treats her the exact same as if she were from me. But his ex wife just can't talking smack!!! And her sister and all their cousins. They keep telling everyone they are still married. I've seen the divorce papers. I love him. I don't want people thinking anything bad of him. You stand up for what you love. It sucks when everything is perfect but something you can't control is just out of your hands. It's not his fault but I take it out on him. Mainly because I feel like he just lets it slide. I understand. He has to keep things civil. But I shouldn't feel like a "second marriage". I should feel like a wife. They spread rumors. They're just so annoying. They say he;s a jerk but yet they can't let him go? It boggles the mind. His ex wife has a boyfriend but still tries to get in our business. Her sis has two kids and a husband. But she can't seem to concentrate on her own life. I just don't think that my first and I'm hoping my ONLY marriage is this hard right away. I shouldn't have to worry there are people talking crap about my baby. There are bigger things to worry about! Like my baby getting sick. Or a war. THERE IS A WAR PEOPLE!!! I don't know. It shouldn't bug me. There are bigger things in my life. But I'm only human. And it's ANNOYING.. If anyone has any suggestions or feels like making fun of them with me :) haha. ah. that felt good to get out...

Staying at home sucks. I tell everyone this is the hardest, most frustrating, unrewarding job ever. It is sad that we have to try and be super moms - loving every moment of our kids and laughing and being cheery and feeling we are so 'blessed' and aren't they precious. They are work! Moms I know who say they would love to stay home, I tell them that this becomes a job like any other job ... but worse! The stakes are higher, we are responsible for ensuring our children become self-confident, moral, reliable, responsible, educated, well-mannered, successful, etc. And if our kids are anything but perfect it is the mother's fault. Talk about pressure! Oh, and make sure they have met their nutritional needs each day and they don't watch too much tv and you read to them and they have physical activity daily and keep their clothes clean and them clean and and and. It is brutally exhausting.
I have two kids, three year old girl and one year old boy, and there are many days I wish I never had kids ... or just stopped at one. And I don't feel that anyone should ever feel that they should have to say 'I love my kids but ....'.. You all love your kids, that is implied, there isn't even the need to say it. And those who say 'get a sitter' or 'get the grandparents to watch' ... for many that isn't an option. Somtimes it feels like all we can do is bide our time. I have many people say they find it refreshing and are relieved that I say these things because they feel they can't say the truth. Don't ever be ashamed of your feelings. |

I had a child at 19 and let me tell you one child to me is easy. It was a breeze, even though I was young, stupid, immature and naive. But then I had two more and have signed myself up for stay at home mom status and life is HARD!!! I am so bored, I have no friends (its not easy making mommy friends here, theyre all stuck up and act better than me, so forget it) and I feel useless not being able to contribute to the family monetarily. Were always scraping by financially because there's only his income and he's a big spender and there's nothing I can do to make him a light spender and there's no point in me going to work if I'm going to spend every single penny I earn on chilcare. So I'm stuck! I love my kids but there is a such thing as too much of a good thing, they drive me crazy!! I'm lucky to get a shower without chasing my kids down the street with a towel on or to walk down to a kitchen that has MY soda pop exploded all over the kitchen. And none of my family members can ever give me a break because theyre all workaholics and the only ones that aren't workaholics are not physically able to help me. I think alot of moms go through the same thing though and the ones that don't are the super moms who would be working with kids anyway if they didnt have any of their own.

If she’s simply annoying you, I’d say deal with it. But her saying she wishes your hubby would have married someone else, right in front of you? Well, that’s just harassment! Talk to your husband. I think he needs to step in. This appears to be going beyond the “Everybody Loves Raymond”-style ribbing. You COULD say something, but since it’s his mother, I think he’s the one who needs to put a stop to it.

Im a stay at home mom with a two and four year old. I got married before i finished high school and jumped right into family mode and finished high school by mail the sad thing is i had a 3.5 and a full ride to college. now im stuck in mommy mode same old same old wake up each day feed the kids bathe them lunch nap etc etc. as usual i get no me time and we move so much because he is actvie duty navy I have no firedns or no interaction with adults so I feel like my life has no purpose and my husband has just started college if its not enough he keeps rubbing that in my face how muc smarter he is now than me. I just fee like I should be studying philoshy or animal anantomy not my abcs and 123s and barney songs. im ready to work to study to interact with someone who doesnt announce to the world that they just went poop in the potty.

I have had to start wearing diapers a few months ago again. I am 30! I have always had a weak bladder, but my (now ex girlfriend) still lives with me and makes me wear diapers. Even though she is now dating other guys, she still cares about me. She knows I won't wear them on my own either, so she pays the neighbor girl to come over for a couple of hours around 1 when she gets off the bus to make sure I am changed. How embarassing. She is 17 and changes MY diaper. Seems like it should be the other way around. I don't get so much embarassed by that, but more when my ex brings a guy home for the night. I don't think she explains a lot to them, but she changes my diaper at home, making sure I am in a dry one before bed and once again early in the morning. I'm sure it kills the romantisism of a night of sex, but she still cares about me. I usually wear Pampers Cruisers size 7 or Pampers Baby Dry size 6. These diapers fit much better than adult diapers which are WAY too big for me. My babysitter tried Goodnights on me since her younger sister wore them, but they were harder for her to change me in since you have to take off pants. I am capable of changing my own diaper (not dissabled, just incontinent), but I kinda like being cared for, so I go with it. My ex knows me too much and doesn't trust me. She would rather assure I am diapered 24-7 by someone (her or my babysitter) than let me do my thing. She has always been controlling like that which I like. I just don't like being her ex! It didn't work out though and I understand. Even though it sucks wearing diapers and hearing her have sex occassionally in the other room at night, I am happy to still be living with her and having her care for me.

Tastybaby is great baby food. Since each food is 100% organic and contains only the ingredient in that specific food - no added colors, preservatives etc. For example- the butternut squash is pureed butternut squash. The peach is pureed peach. This food is so good grown ups can and do eat it too! Seriously, I love it! Found in the freezer section at Whole Foods, Bristol Farms and other independent retailers... yummmy! For mom and baby!

I'm so glad you posted...I am a new mom to a 3 month old baby. i love him very dearly but I was so naive about parenthood. Everyone said it would be a lot of work but I was still so unprepared. Somehow I didn't equate "a lot of work" with "not getting a chance to pee, eat, or shower." I feel like such a slave to my child...he has dictated that I cannot eat, sleep, pee, shower, or do housework. but then I feel like a monster because I'm not enjoying staying at home with him. I am so lonely and so isolated....How can one person possibly do all of this by herself? I can't imagine how people have more than one child. I'm completely overwhelmed with just the one.
P.S: please don't reply telling me that it's only going to get worse as he gets older. It may be true, but I don't need to hear it right now.

My son and I were out at the town holiday parade and about 3/4 of the way thru When my 8 year old said he need to pee. I said to him that he would have to wait because there are not bathrooms open, Then I felt the need go too from all the hot tea I was drinking. But I wanted to watch the rest of Parade. As we walked back to the car we ran into my sister and talked a little my son was dancing said come on mom I need to go bad, So we got the car I said we will stop at the Mall and go, We got on main street down to mall parking lot and my son peed his pants, He was all upset, so we headed home and at this point I was floating myself, Got the HI-way there was traffic, we sat for 30 mins Got off our exit and I peed my pants at the red light, My son look me and said at least I'm only 8 your 32,
