i have just found out that my 18yr old son has been diagnose with schizophrenia. and he whats nothing to do with me because he keeps saying iam evil and its very hard for me to handle because i love him dearly.and he also doesnt live with me .
Is a question that my 4yr old daughter is constantly asking me and my partner.
A little boy at her old daycare told her he has a dood not a girl bit. (we have since changed centres cos of other issues tho)... and since then she is obsessed with it.
My question is.... HOW do i explain to her without too much information the difference between a penis and vagina... and how do i stop her from asking people about their privates (its only been me and my partner so far thank god) before it gets out of hand? We have tried telling her not to be rude etc but she just does it more. ho hum
Josephine is now almost 5months she is still having lots of troubles, and is on a medicated formlua call elecare but she is also having breast.

Not a question, but I've noticed alot of new members joining Minti world and just wanted to let new members know about cherubs a private group for people who have miscarried. It's for the guys too. Just drop me aline if you would like to join.
Please can anyone advise me, my nearly 7 month old daughter has decided that she will not go to sleep in her cot anymore.
After sleeping with my husband and I for the first 5 months (either in my bed or in a co-sleeping cot) we decided it was time to put her in her own room in her own cot (5.5 months) and after a few nights of heartache we seemed to make a break through and she would go to sleep in there with little problem and was in good routine for daytime naps too... Now after a few more weeks of this she now refuses point blank to go in her cot to sleep at all... Now we have NO naps in there and no bedtime either?? It seems that she is to scarred to go to sleep in her cot? I am sure this is not the reason but thats how it seems..i now have to get her to sleep first and then try to put her in her cot, and after about 20/30mins she wakes and realises where she is and screams until i get her... I have tried to leave her but she is the most wilful child i have encountered and can cry and cry until the cows come home so no use leaving her to cry it out??
I have been seeing a cranialsacral therapist for the last 5 weeks and whilst after the first session it seemed to have cracked the issue and she went in there with no probs after that, once we returned for session 2 it seemed to mess up the whole routine and progress from session 1, I have explained this to the therapist who says its because my daughter will not let go and relax enough to fall into a deep sleep and is suffering from seperation anxiety?? Has anyone tried this therapy and could you tell me if you found it useful or to work to cure sleep issues???
Any advice or suggestions would be welcome to ease seperation anxiety and help to put her down in cot!!
Hi everyone my name is rosario I wrote in article about my son missing from home well still missing I call 1800 lost he is been report with the police Iam not been Lucky to find him .

I am new here in Minti and I can say that this is a good site for parents and parents to be. Anyway, my dilemma... I am 19weeks pregnant and I have been having sleeping problems even before my tummy started to show.
I would normally get to sleep at around 3-4am even if I lie down early.
I tried the warm bath, milk and all those but still to no avail. Add to that the trips I have been having to and fro the restroom.
Its really making me worry. I know that the baby in my womb and I have a different sleep patterns, but I just cant help but be scared that it might already be affecting the baby. I dont know what lack of sleep can do to him/her.
I was supposed to get my period today. I havent yet. My breast are sore, but im not having the normal urge to pee alot like most prego women. I took 2 prego test a few days ago they were negative!!! but after 2day I will have missed my period. And I had a misscarge in may and had a dnc done so what do you think?
Ive heard your likely to get preg again after misscarge is that true?
For the last month my other half has been snoring and each night it seems to be getting worse. Yeah that's why I'm still up at 2AM. I'm sitting in the study room on the other side of the house and can still hear him. Fair call that he has been working long hours lately but it's still driving me mad. Please, please, PLEASE does anyone have any natural remedies for snoring?
Hi all, We have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 7month old... Our 7 month old is teething a.t.m. Which could have something to do with his "behaviour" He is waking up during the night Every 2 hours on the dot!! And he wakes up Screaming Hysterically and will only calm down if i breastfeed him. We are all very sleep deprived a.t.m. This has been going on for about 2-3 weeks. He also screams his head off if i put him down, he wants me to pick him up constantly. As soon as i put him down he screams the neighbourhood down until i pick him up! Is this just a "phase" or what???
When we moved into our house a year ago, this little girl (7) down the street attatched herself to my 7 year old daughter (who will be 8 in just a couple weeks). This girl is rude, hits, makes fun of my daughter, laughs at my daughter when she gets hurt, is mean to my 2 year old, calls up to 10 times a day (if we say J can't play then the girl will just come over anyway). When J went to this girl's house to play, the girl tried putting on a movie that she said she likes because it has a woman naked and she likes seeing naked boobs. J had to convince her to not put the movie in.
Now this girl has started going to our church, joined the day camp J is in and is going to now go to the sleep away camp next week because J is going. Now J is upset and isn't really wanting to go to camp. She is worried that this girl will treat her worse by being around her day and night for a week (I agree).
So how do I adress this? J even admitted the only reason she ever plays with this girl is just out of boredom. This girl is being raised by her grandparents and I am just not good at confrontation. I already spoke with my friend who is in charge of the day camp about the situation. But how do I address it for the typical every day stuff?
I have thought about it really alot lately and finally made the desicion that I don't want anymore children. I know i'm still young and one never knows what the future holds. But i really dont want anymore children i am more than happy with just my one.
Can anyone please explain to me what is best getting the tubes tied with clamps or having it cut? And is it a painful experience? And if it is a successful procedure to not get pregnant again?

I'm a little stuck.....I am going away tomorrow afternoon for my first weekend away without the kids. Fun for me but the problem is Josh (almost 4) has bad seperation issues. I happened to mention to him that i was going away and i used the example of how daddy went away a few weeks ago and Josh and Amy stayed home and we had lots of fun with mummy and now Josh and Amy will have lots of fun with daddy. Well this morning he got pretty upset about it when we were talking and now he is saying that mummy should stay home and daddy can go away again.
I haven't told him where i am going because i am spending a few days with my sisters who he is very close with so i thought i would leave that bit out.
I guess my question is, do i just leave tomorrow afternoon and pretend i am going out for the night and let hubby deal with it the next day? (if there will even be a problem the next day)
Or do i explain that i will be back in 2 sleeps and just let hubby deal with the tears when i leave?
He has only ever been away from me overnight when i was in hospital having Amy for 5 days and 1 of those days there was a 24 hour period i didn't see him.
Sorry for the long winded question but i don't want him to think i am leaving and not coming back. Also i haven't really mentioned Amy in this question because she will have no problems. She's a daddy's girl. lol
help please

I've been in and out of the doctors on the internet reading this and reading that.... I am so scared and stressed no one can give me a straight answer.... I had an u/s on the 24th and they couldn't find a heartbeat but it was clear the baby was moving
but we had a hard time catching the little guy. According to the size of the sac I was 7weeks and 5 days at that time. That fallowing saturday I was in the ER for sivere cramps I couldn't stand up straight was over stressed and extremely scared. After being in the ER for 5 hours and an external and internal u/s they had told me they also could not find a heartbeat and that I had miscaried. I was extremely upset. I wasn't bleeding that day and I still haven't had any spotting. yesterday I went to an OB/GYN and my doctor stated I was not bleeding but when she did the u/s she also could not find a heartbeat and something new... she found the sac but no baby. She said that its possible my body has absorbed it bc something isn't right... I do not want to believe it and I will not give up. I have more test and more appointments to come I just wanted to know if anyone else has herd of this or has ever been in my shoes?
Hi, I have a 16 1/2 mth old daughter who all of a sudden wont give daddy a hug. She wont play with grandpa and crys and backs off when men walk into the room. Is this normal? She has not had any bad experiences with men and has not been abused by her father. I know because I am the one who looks after her ALL the time while his life still goes on. Anyway I was wondering if it is normal so I can tell her dad not to take it to heart and he can stop getting a complex over it. Thanks
