    Thanks Xero. I'm one of those "crazy chicks" that takes pictures of a positive reading.

    Vernix myth...

    I suppose its possible she could have gotten it confused with the caul. I'll just have to ask, I guess. But I guess that doesn't make too much of a difference because Cerri did have some of the membrane on her upon birth (on her face). The doctor said it could have happened because she ruptured...

    Vernix myth...

    That's what I thought too when I tried to do the research but my mom said that my aunt swears it has to do with vernix

    Unreasonable to ask of other parents?...

    I have to agree that your TV show blacklist is a little too severe. Spongebob is far from Ren and Stimpy (though I loved that show as a kid) and maybe loosening up on that wouldn't be so bad. I mean what's wrong with MTV shows like Teen Pregnancy that direct the lesson that unprotected...

    Vernix myth...

    My aunt is a midwife and when my daughter was born she was covered in vernix. I guess there is supposed to be some myth or two behind that. Something about a veil? Well if anyone knows it I would love to hear it. I can't ask my aunt ATM since she is currently overseas on vacation.

    We Need Help!...

    I agree with this. If you try and act like the woman is lazy she might get angry and that will just cause some problems. So best not and just try and find a mutual high ground.

    "The Question"...

    Well, honestly my husband was thinking about asking me before my brother interfered and told me he was going to ask me and then my brother asked if I would say yes and I said and I would and so my brother went back to my now-husband and told him I said yes... so basically in a nutshell we had an...

    We Need Help!...

    Well, since everyone has provided their opinion I guess it won't hurt to add mine. I'm personally a non-cosleeper when I can help it. The first thing I think I would do is find out WHY your child will not sleep in his own bed. Is it because of the classic boogeyman? Is being in the dark...

    14 year old daughters claim to be pagan?...

    Actually, if you know where to look there are TONS of books out there about Paganism. Usually books written by Pagan Authors (not counting Silver Ravenwolf) are very good at explaining what Paganism is and what isn't. There is no one true definition to what Paganism is, of course, because its...

    What age do you stop spanking?...

    I have to whole-heartedly agree with this. As a child, I remember getting a "spanking" but for me a spanking included getting me dragged over my dad's knee and whipped on the butt with a two-inch thick leather belt until I couldn't sit pain-free on my butt. And I remember how painful it was when...

    Why a 8-month old still wakes up many times at night?...

    Well I'm glad you're not upset. I never did say it was against the law, I merely said that Social Services has been buckling down and taking babies away without second thought when a mother was found co-sleeping with their baby because it is so dangerous. Whether that is strictly in Wisconsin or...

    Why a 8-month old still wakes up many times at night?...

    I understand that but its not like I'm the one dictating its wrong. Its been dictated by the country and Social Services because of all the deaths of infants due to co-sleeping this year and years past. So if Xero wants to shoot the messenger, thats fine. I'm just saying what I read in the paper...

    Kids and Violent Video Games...

    I think if anything, I'd worry about my child playing a game like WoW. Not specifically because the game is violent (because it honestly isn't compared to SOME other games out there), but because of how kids seem to become addicted to it. I've seen videos online and read bad instances of kids...

    A person next to you is smelly. Do you say anything?...

    Personally I'd probably say something. Depending on who it was I might try to be funny about it and cover my nose and just say to everyone around "Whose the shmuck who doesn't believe in deodorant?" And if I knew who it was, I'd just be courteous as possible and whisper to them "I don't mean to...

    are you supposed to encourage or discourge crying?...

    Sorry for your loss, Superman. But I have to say this: Crying doesn't make you any less of a man. I agree with many people here. Just sit down and talk to your child about death. Maybe have him watch Corpse Bride or something. Someone once told me (I don't remember if it was on this forum or...

    I really don't know what to do with this child......

    I have to agree with everyone here. It definitely sounds like there is an underlying problem with her at school. Beyond grades and such. And it might just be a depression issue. Some of the symptoms of being depressed is having a devil-may-care attitude and just completely giving up on things in...

    Why a 8-month old still wakes up many times at night?...

    Here is something that I just recently learned. You might really want to start staying away from co-sleeping with your baby because Social Services will take your baby away without second thought these days for co-sleeping. 65 babies in my state alone just this year have died because of...

    Kids and Violent Video Games...

    lol -eyeroll- Sometimes I wonder who they got out there doing those game and TV ratings. But I guess in Pokemon's defense, the game comes paired with a card game and a TV show and since I was a kid the TV show always promoted friendship, sportsmanship and kindness. Just a lot of moral lessons...
