red skin

A family friends son who is 15 has redness along his arm bones. He has been to the doctors but they dont think its anything serious because the skin feels the same temp all over, he hasnt had any temperatures and his blood tests come back fine.Could this be some type of allergy? Reaction to a new soap or washing powder? He is a thin boy, so we thought maybe its the bones irritating the skin?

3yr old refuses to poo on the toilet

If anyone can give me some advice on this, I'd really really appreciate it as this problem is getting worse...

My 3 yr old is completely urine trained. In fact, she is always in undies, even sleeps through the night in them without a problem.

Our problem is, she refuses COMPLETELY to poo on the toilet. We have tried pretty much everything. We bribe her (my husband told her a couple of nights ago she could go look at xmas lights AND go buy any icecream she wanted if she pooed on the loo). We have tried the star/sticker charts. No interest. We have taken her to the toilet when we go. But she just wants a nappy on. If we don't put one on her, she holds it in until she's constipated, then we give in and put a nappy on her.  Then she goes off somewhere private, does her poo, then wants to be cleaned up right away. Its like shes ashamed of pooing?

I am starting to think this is a huge problem for her. I would really love some advice on this, I don't know what to do and its upsetting for all of us.

My due date

 I had my son in July 08 and recently found out that we are expecting again. I got my peorid sept 26th. my first one since his birth due to breastfeeding. That would give me a due date of July 3rd. I went today for a dating ultrasound and they told me that my due date is July 23rd. I honestly do know when i got my peorid but  I do not understand what the 20 day difference is from. They said the baby looks good and the heartbeat is good

Please anyone help

STAY AT HOME PARENTS

Can anyone out there assist?

for the first time in my life I finally got to fulfill my dreams of becoming a fulltime mom.

For the last 8 weeks I have stayed at home wigth 2 15 month old boys and a 5 year old girl (starting kindi next year).

Unfortunately, as I am not getting much mental stimulation anymore, I tend to have erratic mood swings.  Unfortunately for my daughter, she alway happens to bear the brunt of it.  I never ever realise how out of hand she can get.  for about 2 weeks I just let everything she did wrong slide, and then one night, I cracked.  I had had enough of her nonsense and whinging and whining.  I shouted and cried and yelled.  She was in tears too.

I felt so guilty for putting her through that.  I can't believe I did it to her!!!!

DH seems to think it's because we don't get out enough to socilaise with people of our own intellectual levels.  He mae just be right.

I love my kids so much.  I would do anyting for them!  I waited so long for them and to become a full time mommy, I'm scared I'm going to ruin ot and my daughters life.

Can anyone out there offer some advice?  Please . . .

loosing school friends.

I have a bit of a dilema concerning my daughter and her two best friend!

I was great friends with their Mum's and so our kids were able to go on playdates to each others houses and sometimes did sleepovers etc.

But over the past 6 months these two Mums have had their relationship deteriate to the point where niether of them will speak to the other. Worse still, even though I tried to keep out of the whole mess, now one the Mum's seem to not be talking to me either!

Normally I really wouldn't care one way or another. But it is affecting my child now because she can't understand why I don't just phone this Mum to invite her friend to come over or go to see if she can go to her friends house to play!

It also has impacted on her frienship with another child because things are now so bad at his home between his Mum and Dad that he and his Mum moved out and went to live with his grandparent, so Charlotte can't play with him either!

I am unsure what to tell her because it is a really unbelievable situation of gossip, lies and interferring going on and I don't want to expose her to it - I mean I am an adult and I'm having a hard enough time understanding what the hell is going on! What do I tell her?

Stubbon chest infections

My 3yo had bronchiolitis as a baby she has suffered alot with chest infections in the winter. The problem now is that she has a chesty cough that comes and goes..

It will come and then as she gets really bad i have decided to take her to the doctors it goes. No runny nose no cold but just a barking chest cough for a few days and then clears up by its self .

My question is.... is this normal after having Bronchiolitis as a baby or should i get her checked out????

Thanks Tee

My son wants to touch every thing .

 

My son is 20 months. He can't set in one place . He wants to touch every thing.

for example, if I take him to my mum's house he touches the vases, hits the tv  by hand , takes anything placed on the table. I asked him to play with some toys i bought but he wanted to try new things in mum's house.

2nd problem,  When I visit my sister's home my son wants to play in his cousion's toys . But the cousin (2 yrs) doesn't want to . So they fight or hit each other. I tried bringing his own toys but nothing change. They would fight.

I'd like to hear what you think of this ?

thanks

Who Has 'Weird' Pregnancy Symptoms?

Does anyone else have any stories about their 'weird' pregnancy symptoms?
~ You know, the ones you never get told about
I for one get REALLY itchy feet! I have to go outside & rub them on the concrete for 10 minutes...
I also have a 'mole' on my stomach under my right bra line, It's usually a nice browny colour, when I'm pregnant, it goes pink. ~ That's always the first give away, even before my first missed period!!!!
