How long is too long to breastfeed?

astromama @astromama (1221) • United States 24 Jan 07

I've been wondering how long is too long to breastfeed after hearing of a local doctor who actually turns moms in to CPS for breastfeeding after a year because, get this, it's 'child abuse'. I've also heard that the National...

Moms~ever feel like giving up and running away from your family?

good2Bme @good2Bme (103) • United States 24 Jan 07

I honestly and truly love my family, but am I the only one who has those thoughts of just jumping in the car and just leaving my whole family behind? The thing is I feel like they can be the most ungrateful people to live with....

christina14 No,but sometimes I wish I could have an hour to myself. :) My child is only one...so, when she naps I'm cleaning or doing something. I never just relax anymore. I'm way more busy now, then when I worked.

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 24 Jan 07

At this time and age, what do you think is the ideal number of children a couple should have, and why? For me I think two to three is ideal. However, if the family income is below minimum, having even just one child would be...

I have a friend of mine who has a 1 year old. She told me one evening that she gave her daughter Benydryl to get her to go to sleep. We started talking about that and she told me that she does it once or twice a week, just half a...

christina14 That's awful. I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd try to mention it casually at first that it was wrong. You should only treat actual symptoms. She's going to get her kid addicted....how will the child learn to sleep on her own?? Maybe ask your doctor of the adverse...

If so, how much? And what kind of programs? We let our son watch TV. He loves Little Einsteins and Higglytown Heroes in the morning while he eats breakfast. He also watches Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clues most days. And...

christina14 I'm a tv-aholic. :) So, the tv is always on in my house. During the day, I keep the disney channel on. My daughter is 14 months, so it's just background noise. She'll look at it here and there. Most of the stuff is educational, so I figure she's learning. Once...

When did you lose your virginity?

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 24 Jan 07

Being a virgin nowadays is not the usual thing. Most people lose their virginity as early as when they hit puberty. I believe a lot of this is because of the influence of media on young minds. The movies portray those who are...

Kaldonya @Kaldonya (277) • United States 24 Jan 07

christina14 My husband doesn't have one. He used to, and never used it. So, we cancelled it. Why pay $50 a month when his minutes used would be something silly like - 5 minutes for the month? He doesn't seem to miss it. I'd die w/o my cell phone. I'd be lost. I wouldn't...
