normal delivery or ceasarian section, which would you choose?

7mfmns @7mfmns (103) • United States 11 Apr 07

if given the choice of an elective ceasarian section, would you go for it or will you still choose the normal way of giving birth? Did anyone had a CS because they wanted to and not because there was a problem?

itsjusmeli I've had both. And let me tell you, the recovery is much quicker with a normal delivery. C-section delivery is quick. But the recovery takes much longer, and is much more painful.

Potty training

aka746 @aka746 (17) • United States 12 Apr 07

My almost 3-year-old girl is still not potty trained at night or to go poo in the toilet. Any suggestions? She will wear undies and then put on a diaper to poo in! I'm getting fed up. Help!

itsjusmeli I trained all three of my girls really quickly with a calendar and stickers. Every time they hit the pot, they got a sticker. There was some real incentive to go whenever they felt the urge. After a while, they forgot the stickers, but it had become a habit to...

itsjusmeli I also found my latest work at home job through wahm.com. The discussion boards are great. If you can type, you might consider transcription. There is a very busy transcription folder on wahm.com. That is what I do from home. Many people also work for places...

Do you think it's ok to have just 1 child?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 12 Apr 07

My wife and I decided when we were married, we would have just one kid, and that was fine, that's what we have done. Once our son was born, certain people kept asking when the next one was coming. When we told them there wasn't...

itsjusmeli I think there are advantages and disadvantages to being an only child. I have three, and I like the big family feel of that number. But I see some of my children's friends who are only children, and it doesn't seem to have affected them negatively. You...

Should I tell the school counseler, CSB, or psyciatrist?

theponch @theponch (198) • United States 12 Apr 07

My daughters sleep on the floor at their dad's house!!! I can't believe this is an issue for me. I provide my children with their own beds to sleep in and they know to stay in them at lights out when they are at my home. Why...

itsjusmeli I think you should talk with their father first. Men don't think about things the same way women do. Maybe if you bring it to his attention, he will do something about it. It's worth a try.

Are you a stay at home mom or a working mom?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 10 Apr 07

Not to say that stay at home mom's dont "work". I know that they do. I am a stay at home mom. I have been for several years. It seems to me that in some cases, working mom's look down on stay at home moms and vise versa. If you...

itsjusmeli I am a working stay at home mom. I work inside the home as a transcriptionist. This gives me time to spend keeping up with my three teenage daughters. I have never worked outside the home while having children, but I certainly understand why some people need...

Right now I am staring at my desk which is in desperate need of a cleaning. I have piles of papers so high I almost cannot see my computer screen. I clean it out every two weeks or so, but it just seems to pile up with all kinds...

itsjusmeli Oh my gosh. Financial aid. I just now finished sending out verification forms for my daughter's financial aid. I have tried to explain to people how long and drawn out the process is, but they just don't get it. Getting financial aid is work. My home office is...

itsjusmeli I agree. The longer she is away from her biological father, the harder it's going to be for her to bond with him. This needs to be resolved quickly in the best interest of the child. I am relieved that Larry Birkhead is the father. I think the child has a much...
