Is punishment about to befall on United States?

Those of us that realize that we are the Terrorists and we have been just that at least from the days of the evil Slave trades where we regarded other live as Valueless, as long as we speak out against the Vile False flag ops and so called terrorist attacks upon our own people, we have a chance if we are repentant and do the will of God and desist from supporting a government and Churches that support Murder calling it by another name, yes the Western World is about to get a mighty and horrific smack that has not been since the beginning of this world our weapons will be useless as the hand of Almighty God is against his people whom have ignored him, his warning in Revelation is quite Clear come out of her my People! The Mainstream Churches, low level and upper level politicians, Police army navy air force, all of the control systems are BABYLON and you will remain complicit in the Evil wrought by your society if you remain in her, do not support the systems that are Apostate Fallen and Corrupt instead warn the People that the pyramid of Power is about to fall mightily crushing any in it or under it, the Only way out is seek the Lord Jesus Christ direct and seek those who seek him directly without the establishment.

Russia: a verbal aspect question?

In this particular case both phrases are correct and convey the same meaning. As a native Russian speaker I can easily use both phrases interchangeably. However these two verbal forms have a slight difference (which is not important in this situation). When "встаёшь" implies indefinite regularly repeated action (what is not important here as you already defined the tense by saying "tomorrow") "встанешь" refers to a singular action in the future.

Is there a cure for migraine head ache?

To cut through the chase: there is currently no known cure for migraine headaches. That said, there are numerous migraine management strategies (identifying your triggers, lifestyle modification, etc) and effective pain management strategies that can significantly improve the quality of life for migraine sufferers.

How can I get my almost 8 month old to sleep without being swaddled?

My 8 month old does not like to sleep unless she is swaddled! The only reason it's frustrating me is because she wakes herself up trying to get out of it, but then makes me reswaddle her, which is really frustrating at night, especially when it happens every other hour. What can I do to help her sleep without being swaddled?

How long should you swaddle your baby?

Why does Hamlet call Polonius a "great baby"? Please read details...?

***What does Hamlet imply about Polonius in his remark “That great baby you see there is not yet out of his swaddling clouts”?*** This is the exact question from an assignment in my literature class, but I have no clue what answer the teacher is looking for. I have read the play and watched the movie and looked over all the study guides (this isn't an attempt to cheat). I also understand the usual implications of calling someone a baby....immature, naive, uneducated, whines a lot, etc, etc...but the way the question is phrased makes it seem like he is looking for something specific that the comment references. Any insight?

How to have sex with my gf?

I'm 19, she's 19, neither of us have had sex before. We aren't just complete weirdos that have been refused sex by everyone else. We've been going out for a couple months ever since the start of 2nd semester in college. I'm 6'3, 190 lbs (fairly good looking I guess) and If I wanted to have a sex with some random slut I would've done that day 1 of college...but I wanted to wait for someone really special. How do I convey this to my girl friend without coming off as someone just trying to get some?

Breastfeeding issues?

I have been exclusively breast-feeding my son for almost seven weeks now. I am not sure why he started this but he gets so fussy when I try to feed him. It's not a latching problem because he is gaining the right amount, he has the correct amount of wet diapers, I don't have any soreness or pain, and he takes deep gulps when he drinks. I have tried every different position possible to feed him and it doesn't help. I don't think it is anything I am eating because I have cut out the things that seemes to make him upset and it didn't help. I don't know what it is. I don't want to introduce a bottle but I think maybe I should to see if it will reduce his fussiness. I would pump for the bottle but I was wondering if this would effect my supply at all? Would it effect my supply if I solely pumped? would it be difficult to find additional time for the maintenance of the pump and everything else? His fussiness started in weeks two sometime and has only gotten worse. It seems like it might be gas because he starts kicking and pulling and pushing my breast so I can't get it in his mouth. When I swaddle him it seems to get better but not all of the time. Should I just try to wait it out? Has anyone gone through this before? It gets so frustrating for the both of us I feel like I am a bad mom for not being able to fix this for him.

My baby just cried for 3 hours straight!?! ?

My son is 5 weeks old and he started crying at 10 and finally passed around a little after 1. I breastfeed but sometimes supplement formula. I breastfed on both breasts off and on an hour before he started crying. I fed him 2 oz of formula around 11 after breastfeeding the whole first hour he cried. He kept pulling off and crying and crying. I changed his diaper twice. I tried swaddling him, rocking him, humming to him, making sure he wasn't hot or cold, make sure nothing on his body hurt, bouncing him, dancing with him, breastfeeding him more, burping him, doing the bicyle motion, holding him laying across my chest (how you hold gassy babies) burped him some more. He spit up and acted hungry but pulled off the breast everytime I tried to feed him. I fed him 1 more oz of formula around 1245 and he took it no problem. After he finished it he cried some more finally I layed down put him on my chest and let him cry. That only lasted 10 min and he FINALLY fell asleep. My question is what else can I do if this happens again? Why do you think this happened? My thought was gas. I'm praying that he doesn't have colic :(I went crazy trying to help him but didn't know what else to do. I felt so bad for him. If it helps he never usually spits up maybe once every two days. But today he has spit up ALL day at least 30 times. He also has a stuffy nose I have been suctioning it out throught the day. He was a little fussy yesterday morning also but not this bad at all he cried off and on for maybe an hour. But he usually doesn't do this.

Babys kicks hurt really bad?

A kick or punch or even stretch should only last a few seconds and unless hiccups it should be repeating steadily. If you are having pain like that with the timing like that call your doc. I would get checked out just in case. Braxtons shouldn't be more than discomforting, labor contractions hurt like he'll.

Is This Work Of Art Conveying A Truth, A Half-Truth Or Gibberish?

Intelligent askers make intelligent questions. I think this is like Duchamp's urinary, but without a pipe. Yes, it is a painting in my opinion. You yourself could make it. About if it's art or not, I for sure wouldn't buy it; I prefer to do it myself. Or, it's a shark put inside a vitrine art? ... I think sharks must stay in the sea; they're beautiful creatures. And for finishing, just a piece of art don't usually defines it as so. And returning to your work, while I agree that art shouldn't be plain and must look for any kind of reaction in the viewer, this particular one just sais that there was once a painter called Magritte

My GIRLFRIEND MY LOVE OF MY LIFE , SEEMS LIKE SHE HATES ME FOR BEING IN HER LIFE ;(?

after a fight she would be happy because shes acting like it doesn't mean anything.. I know this may be grosss but she could be on her period which makes her super moody.. Maybe shes not use to relationships.. I use to be like her but I changed a lot..

Is this a correct interpretation of this Arabic phrase?

What is mentioned is right, but if your friend's religion is Islam, then it's strange to have this sign in his room, as Muslims say "Allaho Akbar" or "La Illah Illa'Allah'

Potty training my adult dog?

Ur schedule is fine.. When he/she messes in the house make sure he/she is well aware that ur mad. In a firm voice. Put the dogs face by it and tell him/her "NO, BAD GIRL/BOY" continue that and eventually he/she will learn.

Help it takes me ages to get my baby to sleep?

Are you trying to get him to go to sleep before he's actually tired and ready for sleep? If he is tired, you might try putting him in a sling / wrap / carrier and going out for a brisk walk - that was always a sure way to get my daughter to nod off.

Help! My baby has hard time staying asleep!?

My baby just turned 4 months old. For the past week she has been having a hard time staying asleep. I tried swaddling her. It seemed to work for a few nights. But now she is back to just sleeping 1/2 to 1 hour at a time. I play with her during the day, I play w her till she gets tired. When I put her down for a nap, she doesn't sleep very long 1 hr the most. And at night time, ye most she can sleep is 2 hours at a time... Can someone tell me what's wrong with her?? Oh, forgot to mention she's been passing some nasty smelling gas. And when she wakes up from her naps or night time, she wakes up crying. It seem to me something is bothering her, I just can't figure out what.

How does the poem "Saturday's Child" relate to the Harlem Renaissance?

The author, like most Harlem residents, would rather sit around writing elementary-level poems and whining about crap that happened in the past than get a job and work their way out?

Is it ok to put a little bit of cereal in a 6 weeks olds bottle at bed time?

ok, so I know they say not to put cereal in a bottle... and not to feed cereal to a baby until they are older, but here is my situation... i am a recently single mother of 2, and my youngest is 6 weeks. I am doing EVERYTHING on my own and was not expecting this. The sleepless nights are catching up with me, since my 6 week old wakes up every hour an a half to 2 hours at night. We're in bed by 10 pm and up by 5 am with little sleep in between. I have tried everything... bedtime routine, baths, white noise quiet time, sleeping with me, sleeping on his own, swaddling, not swaddling.... literally everything! I have had some advice to put just a little cereal in his bottle at bed time to hold him over a little longer... any advise? I want to do whats right for my baby, but I also need to stay sane in the process?? Thank You!!

Baby due in July, do I sound like I have the right clothes?

Hi I live in IL (northern, 15 min from WI border actually) and I had my son on July 17 and he weighed 6lbs and 7 ounces. He fit into newborn stuff for the first month or so and by the time September came around he was in 0-3mo. I think it sounds perfect for what you have. I would recommend maybe like 3 pairs of little shorts for him. I know we had a couple pretty hot days here and I was glad I had shorts for my son. When I brought him home he was in a onesie and shorts set with a receiving blanket, it was 87 and sunny that day but very humid. Also I still put socks on my son, even in the summer because I was always afraid of his feet getting cold. I would always carry some pants and a little jacket with you too because the one thing with having a summer baby is having it so hot outside and chilly inside from air conditioning. You may need more for 3-6 months but I think you're sitting pretty well so far. Good luck, you're going to LOVE having a summer baby. It was much easier because by the time the weather breaks and gets super cold (and us here in the midwest know how that is, we can have all 4 seasons in one week) the baby is already older and not as "fragile" as far as getting sick. I always carried variety of clothing for my son between summer and fall since the weather can be unpredictable. But in winter it's pretty much a given they'll have to be bundled up. Also my son always sweated with the newborn hats on when we first brought him home, they say to keep it on for at least the first month but I only put it on him at night for about 2 weeks because he was a little sweat box!! :)

What do I do about my boyfriend?

Talk to him about it. I cannot say your feelings will DEFINITELY grow. But you know, since you feel some jealousy, you do kinda like him. But maybe it's too soon right now. Like you should give the relationship a chance and see if you will end up liking him a lot more. Tell him you miss him. Maybe set times when you guys are able to call each other. Give it a chance. Good luck! (:

My 3 day old newborn not crying?

I went through the exact same thing. My baby daughter would just sleep and sleep, we had so much trouble waking her up the first two days. And when we got her home she would just sleep, as long as she's eating regularly it's normal. As for the breathing babies breath rapidly because they breath with their diaphragm. The grunts are also normal, my baby is the noisiest sleeper she grunts all the time i was told that it was all normal. as for the clammy cheeks she may just be a little warm check the back of her neck and see if its sweaty if it is then she's too warm. If you really are worried pop to the doctor or your health care visitor and have them check her over.

Is it too late to say the right thing?

its never too late! just forget all the time and remember the good and tell him in all your entirety how you feel! you only live once and you don't want to have lives with what 'could have been' haunting your mind! it sounds like you need to go somewhere in the relationship, you're in limbo, you must tell him and either be that way or not. Don't let it go without knowing what could be possible! good luck!

Were these just drunken ramblings and slip ups from my friend? What are your thoughts?

I do have an answer for you and I hope you take this to heart and the most important, your thoughts and how you react to certain situations. Being drunk is no excuse for this so called friend of yours. First of all I would not trust her. You really do not know what exactly the relationship is between her and your ex-boyfriend. Also a true friend would not speak to in the way she has. Maybe she does have mixed feelings about her sexuality.In that case you want to stay away. Whether or not she was drunk I do believe people say things they really feel and do not have the guts to say it when they are sober. If this friendship was really worth it I would tell her what she said to you(although I think she knows) and just confront her. See what her reaction is. And for you I think you do know whats up. You sound like a nice person who may have a self-esteem issue.Try to change the group you have been hanging out with as you are moving way too fast for your age. Positive people have positive effect. I know this may sound out of reach for you but you could do something that will give you self-esteem and that is to volunteer in your area. This would be so good for you and you WILL meet dynamite people. Every town has a help-line and they have all the info.you would need.Or just google it. You could work with animals, children or the elderly. What ever catches your interest. I believe you can do it, and it is a lot of fun.I hope and pray you will follow my advice.This will surprise you as to how awesome you will feel.Forget about hanging out with people who bring you down.

If my baby wears a nightgown, do i need to put socks on her?

I have some cotton nightgowns (long-sleeved, straight bottom that is open at the end) for my 3 month old. It's pretty chilly at night in my house, about 62 degrees. I usually have her wear footed pjs and then i swaddler her. In a nightgown, should i put socks or anything on her before i swaddle? Or is bare feet ok?

What should i do about my baby's fussiness?

When my son was first born i breast fed but i all of a sudden stopped producing. So we tried to the regular formula from similac. then because my son was throwing up we switched to soy. he was still extremely fussy at night (and still is) so last night i looked up colic. he has every symptom. the only thing he likes out of all the suggestions is being rocked. He hates swaddling cause we live in florida and it really hot and gets worst when hes hot. I hvae tried mylecon it doesnt help. I have even tried tummy soothers and gripe water he pukes it up. Then I red about this formula that is supposedly hypoallergenic i give it to him twice and he puked both times, which on the soy he doesnt, he just cries for hours and i mean hours. but then i read the back of the label on this hypoalergenic formula and its made from milk just broken down more. The doctor said he is really healthy and there is no real reason for him to be crying. Wat can I do to help him? of course im feeding him the soy again

My 6 month old daughter wont sleep?

I need some advise... My daughter is 6 months old. Shes been sleeping in our room in her bassinett since birth, we have been swaddling her until a few days ago, and now she wont sleep unless im holding her or shes in bed next to me and even then shes up at least 3 times. She went to bed at 10:00 and its midnight and this is the 3rd time shes been up screaming until i picked her up. I dont know what to do! It doesnt help if hubby holds her she only wants me! Shes like this all the time, she cries when someone holds her and then as soon as I get her she stops and is fine, Its like she ONLY wants ME all the time.. I am afraid if this habit doesnt get broken that she will never sleep in her crib and she'll be in bed with me forever.

LGBT: I like this guy but he's already pissing me off?? What do I do?

If your relationship manages to progress past its current state, you are still going to experience this. Right now is when people should be texting and calling like crazy...it's still that fun, initial part of dating...and he's not doing it. It doesn't mean it doesn't like you, it just means he probably doesn't like texting/calling all the time and probably also likes having time to himself. If this bothers you (and it really seems it does), then you need to move on because your personalities don't jive.

How do I get my 4 month old to fall asleep on his own?

So my son just turned 4 months old yesterday, and he does not sleep well at all. He is exclusively breastfed, and the only way I can get him to fall asleep is to swaddle him tightly and nurse him laying down in bed until he falls asleep then I have to gently put him in his crib without waking him up, if he wakes up in the night I have to do the same thing to get him back to sleep, even though I'm sure he isn't hungry. I try to do all the same things and gently wake him up before laying him down in his crib, but he just cries and cries until I pick him up and either rock him in the rocking chair or nurse him again (even though I'm sure he isn't hungry). My mother says I should just let him cry but I've read that its not good to do that until they're about 7 months, and I really don't think I could stand to do it right now. I've read that for a baby to be able to soothe himself back to sleep in the night its important for him to fall asleep in the same place he will wake up. I really need some advice on this, because I can't keep waking up 3 or 4 times a night with him, he is not a newborn anymore.

Do you think i ever cross his mind...we haven't had sex since early early december!?!?!?

i thought we really hit it off in every way. started talking. eventually hooked up..had sex 3 times in one night the first time. we probably had sex about 6 times total. we'd spoon and cuddle all night afterwards. he told me how attracted he is to me, and didn't pressure me to have sex. but then he stopped contacting me out of the blue, after i met all his friends and whatnot. i was confused..turns out he was seeing someone else. got himself a girlfriend :/ i called him back in february just to check if he was alive but the phone convo was a little weird. haven't heard from him since then..we had such a connection though, met totally randomly. ugh. do you think i ever cross his mind or not?? we are friends on facebook as well.

How do I tell lesbian my friend that i'm not interested in her?

Grow your hair long, wear bright colours again, remove those studs, and last but not least have those tattoo's laser removed and you're good to go.

I like my guy friend but he might be gay?

hes obviously straight but since he hangs with a lot of girls, i doubt he likes you any more than he likes them (unless he hangs with you more than any of them).

What are some movies/directors that allow visuals and limited camera shots to tell a lot of the story?

What I mean is, when they don't rely on constantly alternating close ups and changing camera angles just to convey every detail, but instead try to capture as much as possible using cleverness. As if to make it feel more real and spontaneous.

Is my child autistic? even if not what should I do?

My husbands son has PDD he's 9 and still can't speak clear. He's not a bad kid though the only thing I've seen him do is flip people off a lot. But I don't see him much and didn't meet him untill he was 7. I would look it up online then see if a friend could drive you to a doctor who can help you. My friends 3 year old is potty trained even at night, can talk perfect and is very well behaved and it sounds like your doing everything you can. I'm sorry it sounds like a lot of stress on you.

Is the world returning to it's pre-WW2 state.....?

I agree with you. This world is seriously f*cked up now and i agree that soon WW3 will break out. The problem is no one cares anymore, and life isn't about living and making the most of it, we're all brainwashed into **** and kids (like myself) generally do not give a $hit no more. Give us food, internet and a playstation and we're happy.

The following paragraph has been translated from my mother language. I am not sure if it is okay. Would pleas?

I guess the reason why Mr. Zhou has done so is because he was angry with Ms.Yao, who had enjoyed dancing while not looking after the baby with him.

When should I stop swaddling my baby?

My baby is 14 weeks and I would like to continue swaddling him at least until it warms up a bit (I live in Australia and it is currently winter,) I have heard you should stop swaddling them when they can roll and he can do that, but I also read in "The no-cry sleep solution" that is ok to continue to swaddle older babies and that swaddled babies sleep better. What should I do?

Am I the only one ??? Baby always cries before sleep!?

My son will be 4 months on May 21st, and ever since he was 2 weeks old he always cries before he goes to sleep. The only few times he has not cried first has been driving in the car. I've tried rocking him, bouncing him, loud music, no music, turning on the dryer, laying him in bed next to me, laying him on me, taking a walk in the stroller, the swing, the bouncer, daddys arms, grandmas arms, swaddling, not swaddling, burping, rocking him after 5 minutes, changing his diaper right before naptime, I've tried everything and he always cries when he gets tired and will cry anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. And then if something wakes him up before he sleeps for an hour and a half to two hours, forget about it.... the crying doesn't stop until the next feeding. I haven't yet talked to someone with this same problem, am I the only one? And am I doing something wrong?

I am from Visakhapatnam's i am in love with a girl since 3 years and this matter has come to know to their gir?

File for a VISA and take her and leave the country. Any country that puts a girl on house arrest for dating...is just archaic and wrong.

I am 12 and she is 2 and she follows me around everywhere and always wants me to p[aly with her and hug her and kiss her, cuddle her, nap with her, etc, and my parents force me to alwaysa play with her and her toys, dolls, teddies, etc and well I have my own life to live! And I am sick of being around this little brat all day long. she's burdening me and I'm tired of it. should i talk to my parents about having her put up for adoption or should I just tell my sister I hate her and don't want to spend time with her anymore? sorry if that's harsh but I'm sick of taking to her, changing her diapers and everything else I have to do with her

How do i kiss my boyfriend just right? help me please!?

we are both new to all this and we're both nervous... we've only cuddled, kissed each others cheeks, and held hands. both of us have never done anything in a relationship, i mean hell, he's never been in a relationship. how do i quickly kiss him just perfectly? eyes open/closed? i mean this would be just a quick kiss. i'd also like to know how to do the long-ish romantic kiss... how to approach it calmly without getting nervous.. i tried to quick kiss him today but i got too scared... i don't think he could be the one to kiss me.... i've thought about like teasing him a bit... like getting close enough to see if he'll do it... but i'd get scared and back away. i think i could do it... but i'd feel like i'm doing it wrong.... i know looking in each others eyes deeply can make it happen, but that's what gets me... i can't look people directly in the eyes... ughhh help!

Do you think I have to change or just let it go?

I been talking to this dude for almost 4 months now. He have asked me out before but I haven't gave him an answer and when we are together all we do is stay at his place watch movies , he cooks and we cuddle and have sex. Lately things have be different, I'm not feeling him anymore. And I went off on him when I was drunk last weekend. He said he is tired of making me happy and how i treat him like he is my "jump off" and I'm always shutting him down also how I don't flirt with him when we are together. He is a nice kid but I don't know, I feel like he says something and does something else that's why I'm not feeling him anymore but I don't want to hurt him. So what do you guys think? Does he like me and wants to be with me and how I can make things better? Thank you guys !

Boyfriend is weird after sex?

Is this normal? I really love him. And before we have sex he is usually really sweet. All his attention is on me. He wants to hold me and tell me how he feels. But then after sex he is really aloof. Like he will cuddle with me but i think thats only because he feels that he has too. And he always wants to go do something else like ten minutes after cuddling. He will usually just go to sleep. Or get up and go eat. And it just seems like hes not as nice as he is before we do it. And its not even like its an obvious change its just the little things. And i don't think he is doing it on purpose. Could it be that he doesn't love me?

My two week old wants cuddled or fed to sleep?!?

My two week old cries to be held to sleep, usually by me as when his dad picks him up he starts rooting for food and the second he latches on to me hel suck once and fall asleep, so I'l wind him (even tho he gets very little) and then put him in his ambi hammock bed and he'll just wake up grizzling until I hold him or let him latch on again, I've tried swaddling but he's not fooled?! For the first days he was in neo natal at hospital and wasn't cuddled much or fed normally as his glucose drip made him not hungry.. Now he just wants breast. Fed for comfort and cuddles??

What should I make a painting of?

I have no idea what to paint. I have asked people, but they suggest the overly done things like a flower, a landscape, a field with sheep and a dog. I usually draw things that are a bit more eerie, grotesque, or macabre. My style is usually focusing on one object or thing with a black or unearthly background. The thing in the picture is often something deformed and/or terrifying, and they have something like a message or idea that goes along with them. Nothing like a bold idea. Just subtle. I have no idea what to convey through a painting and have just become so immensely frustrated with myself when I can't think of a single thing to paint. What should I do? Does anyone have an idea or something?

Why is my two week old moving allot in his sleep?

It's normal. My 21 mo old was the same way and still is. To this day, she moves all over the crib when sleeping and constantly makes noises. I would find her as an infant with her legs up in the air, sleeping with her legs stuck through the crib bars, rolling around in her sleep, etc. She would always wake up whimpering because she was stuck in the top corner of the crib. She went by the nickname "little worm" for her first year of life.

Things to help with teething?

What to do when you don't feel 'valued' in a marraige?

The " What to do " varies with circumstances surrounding you. Man/ woman can be emotionally abused when living far from their parents. The one having a superior income may feel placed in a position to abuse the other party. No matter the reasons to be abusive, this behavior may stem from a lack of concern or love for you. I suggest that you do not give up your schooling as this may the only pillar you will have in the years ahead. It is best to be alone than having a weak link as partner. I am afraid that you will never do enough to please him. Usually, I do not advise anyone to get a divorce but, I strongly counsel you to open your eyes and let no man drive you in a ditch in the name of love or a marriage standing on no legs. I know of many women who after a divorce went back to you and become independent through their new career. The husband they had was pure hindrance in their life. Be strong and do the right thing for yourself.

When you are chosen by god does it feel like constant euphoria?

If i were to guess how many coincidences I've seen id say around 100 a day since 2005 I've had to empty my mind to retrieve my sanity. I am very happy but miss feeling shame and guilt and all the things that make me meek. I am so puffed up even the quaran makes sense to me although i love Christianity.. Or christs version of it anyway. Some coincidences i will never forget. The time i said with a group full of strangers. Why does a crocodiles sneezeings flash forth light.. At that very instant everyone around me ran off and left all of there stuff behind.. Because 4 giant spot lights came on shineing dirrectly on all of us. I did not flinch. The whole time i was full off this desire to feel and act sad but felt incredibly good inside. Now i can't mention all the things I've seen but i have seen miracles and every perfect gift is from god and the gifts i have received from god are so immense i am always at a constant loss as how to convey them to others. So i struggle to relate to the poor and hope my message is carried by god but it is nothing i have done that got me where i am it was all god i am just a ham on a stage.

My daughter is 4 months old and we still swaddle her?

My daughter is 4 months old and we still swaddle her. Lately she's been breaking her arms out of the top no matter how well I get it closed (its on of those swaddleme ones with the velcro). When her arms come out she wakes up, probably mostly because she knocks her pacifier out. Any suggestions on how to wean her from her swaddle and/or pacifier since theyre both the problem right now?

How do I tell a guy I dont want to continue being with him when he goes back to college?

He and I started talking about a month ago, and we talk every day pretty much. We have hung out and cuddled and kissed but we aren't anything official, and I want it to stay that way. He is three years older than me and when I go back to high school in the fall he'll be going back to college. I really don't think its a good idea for us to get serious, and I don't want it to continue when he goes back to college because I want him to enjoy the whole college experience without all the added drama (he had a terrible first year), and I want to enjoy my junior year without having to worry about a boyfriend. I have told him this already (before we ever hung out) but he just keeps saying "well what if I don't want to talk to any other girls in college?" and "Lets wait until the end of the summer and see if you feel the same way"...I know I will and I don't want him to get the wrong idea. How should I address this with him again without making him feel bad or making him feel insulted? because I really do like him I just want to be free throughout high school...working hard in school is stressful enough without the added drama of a long distance relationship

Considering Leaving Marraige?

I have been with my husband for 5 years, married 1. He is a heavy pot smoker, and I started almost two years ago after a car accident to try and relieve pain, and because I felt we would get along better (he also grows). He has also has a big porn addiction. I caught him right before he proposed to me on a trashy dating website telling a woman how beautiful she was trying to get pictures and I almost left him over it....Last month he had porn all over my house and I found out he was masturbating in a public place (Gym Sauna). Hell froze over. He was being lazy, not helping with the chores, never saves his money, and he is not very educated, we have never really had personal conversations and now I feel stupid. We are good friends but I am starting to wonder if he should have only stayed as a friend. We have sports in common and when we are doing something physical we are great, but when we go out to dinner or do something just the two of us he talks about construction and how he hates mexicans. I am in a business field, and I cannot talk to him about my job because he doesnt understand it and he doesn't really hold much value in it. I am a good looking woman, and I constantly have men wanting to sweep me away but I dont want to hurt my husbands feelings or feel like I failed. I have been silent for so long with my husband because of his temper and I just try to keep a smile on my face and suck it up, but I dont think I can continue. This last month I finally said something and we have been at odds ever since. I want someone who I can share a mental relationship with. I want to feel like I can talk to them about kids, money and life without feeling like I have to guide them every step of the way. I want to feel like I am taken care of rather than being the care taker. My husband has done a 180 recently with helping out and has been doing chores, cuddling with me, and trying to spend time, but I cannot seem to get the mental connection of feeling close to him. I am no longer smoking because of my jobs demands and I dont think it was really helping. I am lost and I need help. I want to go to a marriage counselor but I know when we do go he will complain about the money and having to take time off of work.

Why do I always become so sentimental at night?

Sounds like you're lonely. Maybe you can get a boyfriend? If you're not old enough to spend the night with him, you can hang out during the day and that will probably help a lot. You could also text him at night as you lie in bed.

Christians: What version of the Bible is best to share with an Atheist/Agnostic?

Try explaining to them exactly why you believe what you do, and your own experiences with God and thoughts on God. Reading off a passage from the bible really doesn't do much for people, or at least the ones I know. So, maybe try that instead. But really, I don't think it's right to try and discuss it with people like that. If it comes up, tell them what you believe and why, if they question you further you should answer. If they don't, just let them come to you instead. I am pagan, a previous Christian, and when people try to discuss it with me without my asking them, it's quite annoying.

When swaddling a mummy, what did they do with the nose?

I'm doing a paper on mummification and I have to answer what happens with the nose when they swaddle the mummy.

We went 5 yrs w/o talking but i still love her?

i graduated college 5 years ago. Throughout the time there I had a good friend, who i was really attracted to and loved, but bc of different circumstances (i was with her best friend at college before i met her) i couldnt be with. all we had were a few kisses, cuddling, a lot of flirting and a few serious talks. after schol we then didnt talk for 5 years until she messaged me out of the blue Saturday. I still love her, i know that bc i cant stop thinking about her. now she lives in maryland, i live in boston. how can i smoothly find out if she still thinks of me romantically? nd how can i do things to improve her interest from so far away?

Baby won't sleep in his crib?

The only place my 3 month old son will sleep is in his swing. We've tried everything to get him to sleep in his crib but he cries every time and will not settle down until he is put in his swing. Swaddling, white noise, heart beat noises, a shirt i'd been wearing tied to the railing...nothing works. He has moderate reflux so his bed is at an angle with a rolled towel under the sheet to keep him from slipping down. Letting him cry it out, even for just a couple minutes, just sends him in into a frenzied tantrum and he breaks blood vessels in his eyes. I can't stand to see him so upset but I can't keep buying batteries and sleeping on the couch to be next to him because he wakes up periodically is getting really hard on my back. Are there any other parents who had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?

Question about my three month old?

my son will only sleep through the night if he's swaddled...but he'll take his daytime naps unswaddled...has anyone else had this problem and is this normal....also he's teething already..isn't it a bit early?...u can actually see the teeth pushing through...help plz

Any tips on how I can stop swaddling my 6 months old baby?

Hi! I want to stop swaddling my baby without losing sleep over it! The thing is she grabs at her face really roughly so she doesn't sleep through if her little hands are left free... or maybe it's something that will come naturally over time? I'm just aware that it has to stop sometime!

What was he trying to do ?

A couple days ago my date and I went to the movies and we ended up being the only two in that particular theater. We started cuddling somewhat and he was telling me how hot I was and how he couldn't focus on the movie and he kept rubbing my legs and telling me how soft and smooth my skin was. I noticed that during the movie he kept taking glances at my legs and I looked out of the corner of my eye and I saw him pull his shirt over the top of his pants and he was crossing his legs. Was he trying to hide an erection ? Lol no rude answers please, Thanks :)

My 4 month old baby acts like he is ten help!!?

Ever since I brought my baby home he will not allow me to swaddle him or rock him to sleep he'll fuss cry and scream for me to just lay him down and let him fall asleep on his own is this normal has anyone else's baby do this I bought a really nice rocking chair and have not been able to use it I always imagined myself rocking my baby and singing him to sleep but he will not allow me to I tried to earlier but he started screaming crying holding his breath turning red and as soon as I layed him down he mumbled under his breath closed his eyes and went to sleep

Your advice please??

He is playing you whether you like to hear it or not. He is keeping you in a convenient position and when he wants to play, he calls and at other times, he does his thing. Get wise and get away from this clown. You are not going to find love with a guy like this. You are going to have a stripper boyfriend. You give something nice to him and he leaves and when he feels like he wants to see you, he comes around and so on and so on. THere are guys out in this world who will be glad to have a girl who wants to be with them. Get rid of this deadbeat and find a real man.

Guys: how does it feel to be in love with a woman? (plz read)?

He sounds like a wonderful guy. From the way you described it, he really cares for you! He's willing to make changes in his life to be with you, and he is emotionally devoted to you in some way. Don't say it till you're ready, and these kind of things take time, but I think he really might be the guy!

How is the beginning of my story??? Rewrite?

Awww, that was sweet. I loved that :3 Sorry if I'm not giving the feedback you want, because I have nothing to say, you nailed it! I'm 14 and expected you to be older!

Was i used or not???????????????????????????…

i thought we really hit it off in every way. started talking. eventually hooked up..had sex 3 times in one night the first time. we probably had sex about 6 times total. we'd spoon and cuddle all night afterwards. he told me how attracted he is to me, and didn't pressure me to have sex. but then he stopped contacting me out of the blue, after i met all his friends and whatnot. i was confused..turns out he was seeing someone else. got himself a girlfriend :/ i called him back in february just to check if he was alive but the phone convo was a little weird. haven't heard from him since then..we had such a connection though, met totally randomly. ugh. do you think i ever cross his mind or not?? we are friends on facebook as well.

Will he want to? and how do i?

Since it seems he always follows your lead when you guys are making out, slowly take it to the level that your in the mood for, if he is just as interested he will be right there with you .

Aden + Anais or Luna Lullaby swaddling blankets?

I am wondering if one kind is better than the other. I have some Aden + Anais but I like some of the prints from Luna Lullaby and am just wondering if one kind is better than the other.

I told my husband a family secret. I feel he no longer sees me the same way.?

I never told my husband how my father really died. My father took his own life, and I buried that secret within my heart for 17 years. I never shared it with anyone, it remained within the family. I was scared to share it with people b/c of the taboo and stigma associated with it. I did not want to be judged ever by it. I buried my feelings and continued on with my life. I met a wonderful warm hearted man, we dated a little more than 1 year. I fell in love with him and we married. I never shared with him the real reason my dad passed away for the same reasons stated above. During the beginning of our marriage, there were many times when I tried to form the words, the courage, to tell my husband about my father, but I failed every time. I couldn't bare the weight of carrying this on my own anymore. I wanted openness, but I was still too afraid to talk about it. I shut this in me for 17 years. How easy was it going to be to let it out? One day, my husband asked me to hear a tape from a psychic that he had went to (without my knowledge). I was angry that he went without telling me, but that all changed after what I heard on that tape. The psychic was conveying my father's message that he was sorry for what he had done. I lost it and started to cry hysterically. At that point, I told my husband about my father and how he died. He comforted me and held me and asked me why I never told him. We are now trying to have a family of our own, however, we have not been lucky in that arena, and it is straining our relationship b/c still we have no children. My husband is not happy with his job or where we live. Several months have passed since I told my husband about my father, he now tells me that he loves me, but that he feels slighted b/c I never had the trust to tell him. That he deserved to know about it. He feels that there was(is) no trust in our marriage. I feel that my husband sees me in a different light now. I think I made a big mistake to tell him. What was I to do? I was expecting that my husband tell me that it is all in the past, that he understands why I never told me b/c I was afraid. But those were not his words, he told me that he loves me, but he feels slighted b/c I never trusted him enough to tell him. He is now disappointed in me. I thought love was unconditional. Can anyone shed some light on this for my sanity?

6 week old wide awake at 2am?

He is fed, clean, and burped. I cannot swaddle him as he freaks out when his arms are confined. If I turn off the light he begins screaming, he is actually just staring at it. Any advice to get him to sleep?

Baby is rolling over from back to front, does that mean we need to stop swaddling him?

My baby sleeps better when swaddled but now that he is rolling over is it dangerous to keep swaddling him?

What type of kiss conveys the most love?

YOu see, its my girlfriends birthday, its the first birthday we have shared as being together. What type of kiss conveys the most love? We have been together for 9 months and 11 days, and only had our first kiss a few weeks back, but at first we kissed, then it progressed to full on making out, with her on top of me, we kissed for 45 mn at a time, so i know she is comfortable with ay type of kiss.

Women, what are some things a guy could do from miles away to get you thinking about them?

Why did this girl say im ugly?

I went on a double date with my friend. Mine was a blind date. I'm 21 she's 19. We went to the movies and out to eat. We cuddled a lot and kissed once and I was rubbing all over her leg. I know she liked it because she's like that and she sleeps around with guys a lot. But I never heard from her after that and she told her friend she regrets doing it because I'm ugly.... ? I've slept with hotter girls than her. What is this about? Also, does being shy make a guy ugly even if he's cute?

HELP!!!! Why does my baby always cry when going to sleep?

just accept that before your baby goes to sleep, he cries, there isnt anything wrong with him apart from the fact that hes fighting to go to sleep, he doesnt want to. but like you said he eventually falls asleep. so he clearly is tired. as you have clearly tried everything, just leave him to it, it may just be his way of doing things!

4.5 month old still acting colic?

Stay away from gassy food. I heard the BF babies bowls are really weird. But you know your baby and if something feel off, then tell the doctor. My daughter is 4 months and she was really gassy, we thought she was colicy but she has acid reflux. Acid reflux can mimic or cause colicy behavior. My daughter would act colicy because she didn't want to burp up the acid and it just hurt her. My doctor also said that acid reflux peaks at around 4 months because baby is on the move. It doesn't hurt to ask your doctor.

How to have sex with my gf?

I'm 19, she's 19, neither of us have had sex before. We aren't just complete weirdos that have been refused sex by everyone else. We've been going out for a couple months ever since the start of 2nd semester in college. I'm 6'3, 190 lbs (fairly good looking I guess) and If I wanted to have a sex with some random slut I would've done that day 1 of college...but I wanted to wait for someone really special. How do I convey this to my girl friend without coming off as someone just trying to get some?

Best blanket for 10 month old? Aden + Anais?

My baby sucks his blanket to sleep and I am looking for a thin blanket. I am thinking about getting a pack of the Aden + Anais swaddling blankets but are they too thin? Any suggestions for a good blanket?

Not attracted to partner anymore?

I have been with my girl friend for a lot of years (we never got married as it just went that way) for the past few years i have not found her sexually attractive at all and i won't engage in sex or anything to do with that. She loves to cuddle and kiss, but i don't. I love her as a person and we can laugh and get on without a problem. The thing is, i don't want to do things with her, go on holiday, go out, etc. It's ending up where i'm sat in at weekends and not being bothered about doing anything and i think i'm wasting hers and my life. I've often thought about leaving but i can't imagine how much pain that would cause her and i would lose my best friend. After all, it's just down to sex and is it that important? I think it is, but i also think i may be being shallow, I have to do something as i think i am wasting both our lives, anyone been through a similar thing?

Can I use (obstacle) at the end of a sentence?

You are saying that "him" (person 3) is loved by both "she" (person 2) and "he" (person 1). There is your problem.

What all is involved when a guy and a girl are cuddling?

When people cuddle, what all is involved? Are they lying on a bed or just sitting next to each other on a couch?

Is it ok for a newborn to have a lovey?

not until they can hold their head up and roll over, and maybe even sit up, just to be safe. You don't want your little girl to suffocate on it and not be able to move away from it.

How can I find a nice plump woman to marry?

Online dating - it's not just for the oldies and weirdos anymore! I'm 23 and I have three friends right now that are marrying someone they met online, all college-educated and attractive (I think). When you make an online profile on most dating sites, they allow you to put what you're looking for as far as looks, education, background, etc. and then rate how important those things are to you. It's pretty nifty :-)

Is it possible to break a sleep association to the breast without crying? My 4.5 month old wont take pacifier?

Can she go in another room if your moving wakens her? If not maybe one of those nature sounds cds would drown out the noise for her. My little girl woke every hour at night for a comfort feed until she was 13 months so I know how you feel. In the end we had my husband go in and soothe her when she woke. She wasn't too happy and sometimes he'd be walking the corridor for ages with her but it started to break the habit. At 4.5 months she probably will need one or two night feeds but perhaps your husband could go to her every second time she wakes? Good luck.

How can I get my almost 8 month old to sleep without being swaddled?

My 8 month old does not like to sleep unless she is swaddled! The only reason it's frustrating me is because she wakes herself up trying to get out of it, but then makes me reswaddle her, which is really frustrating at night, especially when it happens every other hour. What can I do to help her sleep without being swaddled?

What does this even mean...?

M Is it meen to let my son cry?

My son is 4 months old, n to be honest I just don't feel like holding him. So I swaddled him up and put him in his crib, he's been crying for about 30 mins non stop. I have a 27 month old who is driving me crazy as well. So I feel bad but I need a damn break ( s.a.h.m.). Yes he was fed n changed as well so I know he just wants to be held. What else can I do

Guy friend crossed the line but he says he doesn't remember! Please help?

My guy friend who I have a tad bit of a crush on and vice versa went out with mutual friends the other night and we ended up drinking a lot. A friend dropped 3 of us off at his place, there were two couches and his bed downstairs. We drank some more and they went outside for a cig. while i crashed on one of the couches. When they came downstairs, my friend climbed behind me on the couch to cuddle and our friend went onto the other couch. I woke up to my friend's hands wandering in all sorts of areas but I was pretty gone and wasn't able to move much so I just passed out again. The next morning, I woke up to find him in his bed. When he heard me leaving, he said "hey see ya Wed" which is when we had made plans. Today (two days later) he texted and asked if we kissed. I said no. He said "well i know we didn't have sex" but what else happened?" I asked him how he knew we didn't have sex but couldn't remember anything else and he said "bc I went to bed on the couch and woke up in my bed" which makes no sense. Anywho BIG TWIST...he has a gf and she found out I spent the night and asked if anything happened. He claims not to remember anything so I told him we only cuddled. They are having a "talk" tonight about it I guess and IDK if he truly doesn't remember, if hes feeling guilty or what. What should I do? Should I tell him that his hands were in inappropriate places?

Is it okay that my 4 month old doesn't nap?

8hours is no where near enough sleep. It's normal for a overtired baby to nap for 30 minutes then wake up. Also when they are over tired they wake with the startled sleep patteren. Try taking him for a walk bump his crib, drive in the car, anything to get him to sleep during the day!!!!!!! Over tired babies can be prone to SIDS as they become so exhausted they don't naturally move their head while they sleep. Contact you HCN for help.

What are some way that I can get a 4 in a half month old baby to sleep?

It could be that he's teething, my baby boy is the same age and he's a lot harder to get to sleep now than it used to be, he also pulls at his ear and rubs the side of his face. I got some teething powders and give him one after his feed, seems to settle him more

3 week old baby wont stop moving!?

My little girl just doesn't seem to stop moving. she constantly throws out her arms and kicks her legs and it even keeps her awake. i tried to swaddle her but she wriggled out of it (She hates to be confined) she wont even keep a loose blanket on. I wonder sometimes if it's wind cause she does seem to pass alot of gas but she doesnt cry about gas pains. Im just completly stumped by her behavior please any advice or suggestions welcome.

Why would Allah inspire the Bible but not bother protecting it ? Did it not occur to Allah?

that without protection, the Bible might get changed ? Also, why would Allah go to all the trouble to supposedly keep the Koran from being changed but not bother making it clear what it means ? If it's clear what it means, why all the sects ? Why the disparity between the supposed peaceful message of Islam and the message that all the terrorists seem to be getting ? Obviously, Allah, if he exists, only cared about the actual text of the Koran and not at all about what it actually communicated. Why would Allah care more about letters on pages than about the meaning they're supposed to convey to his followers ?

Why do my pugs feet smell like tortilla chips?

Are you a fan of zendaya and bella's friendship?

maybe they're taking it too far, like they "cuddle" and hug too much..(if you know what I'm saying). Are they hiding something, or are they just good friends?

I need some honest opinions...do you think i ever cross his mind? does cuddling indicate feelings?

i thought we really hit it off in every way. started talking. eventually hooked up..had sex 3 times in one night the first time. we probably had sex about 6 times total. we'd spoon and cuddle all night afterwards. he told me how attracted he is to me, and didn't pressure me to have sex. but then he stopped contacting me out of the blue, after i met all his friends and whatnot. i was confused..turns out he was seeing someone else. got himself a girlfriend :/ i called him back in february just to check if he was alive but the phone convo was a little weird. haven't heard from him since then..we had such a connection though, met totally randomly. ugh. do you think i ever cross his mind or not ?? we are friends on facebook as well.

2week old newborn wont sleep in his crib?

Ill rock him till he's drifting off and lay him in it and hell lay for 5mins then start crying, he has a chair he sits and sleeps in during the day and he has no problem getting himself to sleep init even without the vibrations and music playing. I have tried swaddling and my midwife was not best pleased, he seems to like sleeping sitting up but I don't think its very safe to prop him up in his crib, should I let him sleep in his chair at night and try his crib again when he is a month or so old?

What is up with this guy?

this guy and i have known each other for 2 years and in the past month got really close. we hold hands, cuddle and he plays with my hair. we never kissed or anything and when i rub his thigh he moves and shakes his head. well i only did it when my brother was in the room so do you think its just because of my brother or am i moving to fast or what?

What's wrong with my bird's beak?

My cockatiel's beak grows too much, her beak grows almost to the bottom of her head and her lower jaw is growing a bit too. We have a cuddle bone in our cage that the other one chews on, his beak is fine. But she chews it a bit and her beak still gets longer! Her jaw has even shifted to the right from all the extra beak. Does she have a calcium problem. Please answer.

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day?

Leave it alone. Current teaching facilitates drug use, crime among students, and early dropping-out by kids waay to smart and worldly wise to remain in the classroom. In turn, this is good for the economy because it keeps police, guards, lawyers, court and corrections officers employed. It's a delicate balance. Bringing any degree of thoughtfulness, common sense, or wisdom into our school system should be punished harshly and immediately. Failure to control the controls we put on kids will eventually result in students believing it's ok to fly the American flag, pray in school, and before long there won't be a backward-worn hat or pair of baggy-*** jeans to bee seen in the halls.

Does he want to be just friends with benefits?

I've been talking to this guy for a while and today was technically the 1st time we've hung out. We were at my house and my brother was there so sexual activity was (thankfully) limited. While we watched a movie we talked, kissed, and cuddled. Sounds good, right? Then tonight we were texting and we started discussing what mightve happened if my brother hadn't been there (i know, it's like I'm askin for him to mention sex, but we were just messin around). In 1 text he said he would like to just hold me while we watch a movie (cute). But then BOOM, next text he says maybe then his boys could feel a lil happy (and I'm assuming by boys he meant his dick?). Now I'll be honest, before now he has mentioned sex, but what else do you expect from a teenage boy? But the thing that bothers me is he's never mentioned a relationship or anything. I know he told some of his friends that me and him were hanging out, so he isn't exactly keeping me a secret but I'm still skeptical. We talk about a lotta stuff besides sex and I also know he likes me but..i have trust issues. Lol so are we destined for friends with benefits, or something more? And if it's heading for the FWB direction, is there anything I can do to change that, or is it too late?

QUESTION FOR WOMEN (why can't a find a girl who will respect this)..............?

I really don't no what to say, I understand and its not your fault that you enjoy what you do. But for me I would find it strange and a complete turn off to play mother one minute and then make love to my boyfriend the next, the two just don't mix, it really is something your going to have to keep separate from each other if you no what I mean. Good luck x

Opinions on HALO Swaddling blanket?

My son is 4 months old & for most of his young life, he has taken every nap & bedtime in an infant swing. After his 4 month checkup Monday at which the doctor said I could sleep train him, I have been putting him in his crib to sleep. He does well with very little crying (I was afraid he might not sleep without motion) but the problem is he HAS to be swaddled. He squirms & startles himself awake if he isn't. But he's teething so he constantly wants his hands in his mouth, so no matter how tight I swaddle him, he gets them up, loosens the blanket & wakes up crying. So I want to know if anybody has used the HALO blankets or the Miracle Blanket (I think it's called that) & if you have, did they work or did you like them? I want to know if I'll get my money's worth before I buy one.

Soothing a 1 month old infant?

i have a 2.5 and 1 month old. i realize that she's only a month... and that this will get better... but ever since she was a few days old from 10pm to 1am she's very hard to sooth. i've checked whether she's hot, cold, diaper, full belly, gas drops, rub belly, legs, arms, head etc... swaddled, unswaddled kept her awake before hand...probably some other things. she is completely content all during the day and the rest of the night. i'll take any suggestions.... Thank you

How and when do you break a child from being swaddled?

My daughter is over 8 months old and will only sleep well if she is swaddled. We have tried breaking her from it many times but always after a week or two of bad sleeping give in and swaddle her. She sleeps and soothes herself back to sleep better while swaddled. I just wonder if this is bad for her or I should just continue to let her be swaddled until she no longer wants it. Also suggestions on how to stop swaddling effectively would be helpful.

My baby is four months old. He sleeps through the night but wakes up constantly.?

Your son sounds very normal for a 4 month old. 3 naps a day is normal at that age. Making him sleep less will just make him overtired and he will be cranky and have trouble settling down at night, making the whole thing worse - believe me, I tried this with my first baby! Some babies just need more night-time feedings than others. Hang in there! He'll sleep longer when he is ready.

How do you stop swaddling?

My almost eight month old will not sleep through the night unless she is swaddled. I'm afraid we are going to end up swaddling her forever. She is growing out of her swaddle. The daycare says she will nap without being swaddle but will not sleep at home. What do i do? my dr says as long as she likes it to continue swaddling her. i'm afraid soon i wont have a blanket big enough to swaddle her.

Help. Vacationships ?

So I'm 18 and so is he and we have known each other for over 13 years and have been dating in and off until he moved 3 years ago and now we are just best friends but when we are together we tend to get a bit more friendly. (ie making out with out clothes and �Falling asleep with him holding me or watching really long movies just to cuddle for longer). He says he doesn't want a Long distance relationship but the vacationships kill me. I love doing all that stuff with him but i don't know what to do.

My 13 month old help!!!!?

Your baby is cranky and doesn't sleep because she overtired ( I know, it sounds like a contradiction). She should be put to bed way earlier than 11 pm (she is still a baby), maybe around 8 pm? A couple of other things: LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TV she watches, that will over excite her so then she cannot sleep, and also limit the amount of refined sugar in her diet (check the labels, everything has added sugar, especially the cereal). I know it is really, really hard with the new baby, but your daughter needs some sort of a regular schedule. You said that you tried to put her to bed earlier and she screams, it'll take a couple of nights, but she really needs to go to bed earlier. Try putting her to bed 15 minutes earlier every day, that might work. Good luck!

3 1/2 month old still wanting to be swaddled?

I have a 3 1/2 month old, and the ONLY way I can get her to sleep in her crib is to swaddle her. She is 24 inches long, so it's getting very hard to find a swaddle that fits her weill w/o bunching her legs up (I have 3 right now, but they are getting small on her and will not work for much longer). I have no idea how to get her to sleep without being swaddled. I am glad that it works for now, but when she gets a little longer- How do I get her to sleep without it? I would like to start now so that she is used to it, plus since it's the summer, I feel bad having her swaddled. On the warmer nights, I put her in a diaper and then the swaddle, otherwise she wears a onesie and then the swaddle. Any one go through this at all? Any suggestions on how to get her to not NEED to be swaddled? She fights her naps like crazy too, screams to keep herself awake, all the while falling asleep at the same time. I have tried swaddling her for naps as well, which cuts down some on the nap fighting, but she still sleeps only an hour. She sleeps through the night (from 10p.m until about 9:30a.m) but her naps are literally about an hour 2-3 times a day. Which, if that's why she sleeps through the night, that's fine. Lol. But I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this as well. Any suggestions on how to get her to be ok with not being swaddled would be great! And any common stories on your baby's naps would be great too! :)

Are these signs he only wants sex?

Sounds like to me hes only worried about himself. Any guy is out for sex. But for getting into your pants and then leaving you, I dont know about that. All I know to tell ya is just take one day at a time and see how things go.

When Did Your Baby Gain Control of his Arms?

When did your baby gain control of his/her arms enough for you to be able to stop swaddling at night?

My baby won't Sleep Help !?

Okay so I asked a question a few days ago about my baby's sleep problems and I got a lot of answers that didn't really help, I think I wasn't detailed enough. My son is 18 weeks old, and has never slept through a night. I exclusively breastfeed him and love holding him. But he does not sleep well at all. I try to do a bedtime routine... bath, jammies, swaddle, nurse laying down, rocking the chair and singing lullabies. But no matter how early I start the routine I can't seem to get him to sleep any earlier than 10 or sometimes later. His first stretch of sleep he spends in his playpen bassinet next to my bed, and it always the longest. But sometimes it only lasts for 2 hours before he is up and crying for me. When he wakes up I only unswaddle for a clean diaper if he is wet, and I nurse him lying down in bed with no lights or noise. Sometimes he falls right back to sleep in about 20 minutes but it can also take up to an hour to get him back to sleep. He then wakes up every 20 minutes to 2 hours after that to nurse until his dad gets up for work at 5 am and bring him into bed with me where he'll sleep for about another hour and a half. We then start our day at about 7 or 8 am. Throughout the day he takes short naps, anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, but usually in my arms. He is always cranky an I'm sure its because he is tired but I can't get him to sleep for any length of time so he can get some rest. The only 2 answers I can seem to get to my problem is either to let him cry himself to sleep or to just deal with it, but neither seem like acceptable solutions to me. I love my son so much and would do anything for him, so please no judge mental responses, I know I am a good mother and no one will convince me otherwise.

Baby rolling in cot can i swaddle him?

How to have sex with my gf?

I'm 19, she's 19, neither of us have had sex before. We aren't just complete weirdos that have been refused sex by everyone else. We've been going out for a couple months ever since the start of 2nd semester in college. I'm 6'3, 190 lbs (fairly good looking I guess) and If I wanted to have a sex with some random slut I would've done that day 1 of college...but I wanted to wait for someone really special. How do I convey this to my girl friend without coming off as someone just trying to get some?

RAMADAN: Is obedience of Rasoolallah (saww) ISLAM?

Islam is all about Mo. Without him, it never would have existed. Notice when Muslims say "the prophet" they all know it's Muhammad who is being talked about. That is because they don't worship or follow any prophet of God, just Mo.

Help! it takes me ageeeees to get my 5 month old to sleep?

Does he love being in a driven car? Try to go for a drive. That has helped me when my 5-6 month old was being difficult..Dont leave him to cry. I dont believe in that. Babies dont cry for no reason. Did you take him to doctor to see whether he has an ear infection or something else? Did you try putting on music and stand in front of the mirror and dancing while carrying him so he can see himself too? Sometimes mine stares at himself and me in the mirror and puts his head on my shoulder or chest and goes to sleep by the 2nd or 3rd song. I know how frustrating it is...hope my suggestions helps. Take care and goodluck.

Confused..ladies and gentlemen please help!?

I been talking to this dude for almost 4 months now. He have asked me out before but I haven't gave him an answer and when we are together all we do is stay at his place watch movies , he cooks and we cuddle and have sex. Lately things have be different, I'm not feeling him anymore. And I went off on him when I was drunk last weekend. He said he is tired of making me happy and how i treat him like he is my "jump off" and I'm always shutting him down also how I don't flirt with him when we are together. He is a nice kid but I don't know, I feel like he says something and does something else that's why I'm not feeling him anymore but I don't want to hurt him. So what do you guys think? Does he like me and wants to be with me and how I can make things better? Thank you guys !

Is my girlfriend frigid?

My girlfriend is 21 and I am 34 years old. We have been together for 10 months now. We see each other everyday. But dont live together. Recently I have got back into work and I am now in a good job. We use to have sex loads. But in the last 3 months we have only had sex 3 times. She has her own place with a single bed and will not let me sleep over any more, complaining about her back pains. The most I get is peck on the lips now. She won't kiss with tongues because she says its childish. So, quick kiss and a cuddle at her doorway at the end of the day and that is it. She is definitely not cheating on me because I see her everyday, she's not that type and can't be bothered. We say we love each other do which I do to a point. I use to complain about us not been more affectionate all the time which pushed her away. She will not talk about our problem at all! If I even try coming onto her she starts an argument. If I even try talking about sex she tells me to leave and go away. She says I have got to respect her wishes and build up the trust again. I have not cheated on her ever. What she means by trust, i think, is to stop bothering her about sex. She won't finish me. We get along really well. But this sex ban is killing me. I said what about my thoughts and feelings. She said I will take your feelings into consideration when you learn how to respect me and don't bother me or come onto me about sex! So, I have backed off for about a week or two now but nothing has changed which is hard when considering we see each other every day! She is a bit more touchy feely in front of other couples who are friends. But even though we are a drunk she always gets the taxi to drop me off at mine first. What can I do to improve my situation? Any Advice? I'm worried that if I don't show her any attention it will end us completely.

I like my a girl in office my colleague but can't dare to tell her I like you,please advise?

the girl seems to be waiting for me to take 1st step and tell her how i feel about her , the other day she had told my colleague that I don't like chatting whoever wants to tell me something should tell in my face and that guy is someone who is working in same room with me , I had sent her a chat request but she denied she didn't like it , so does it mean she conveyed her message through that guy to me ? the other day this girl was talking with other girl (colleague of mine) about calling something i made a joke that she didnt call u because your mobile might be busy , she then with a surprising accent told me have you ever called me that my number was busy ? In fact i dont have her number . i told her i donve ur number , she said you can have it no problem, i again made a joke that i will miss call u , i will not call u , the call should be made by you she said no i will answer with SMS. so again here is a point she wants me to have her number and she will send sms.

Is swaddling babies legal in child care? What age do they stop swaddling?

it's legal but most day cares will not use blankets at all since the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against them. Most centers will recommend you get a swaddler sleep sack if you want your baby swaddled while there. Most babies stop wanting to be swaddled when they are 3 months old.

Boyfriend is weird after sex?

It sounds normal to me. What do you want him to do? If there's something you want him to do after sex, just ask him.

Is this a good idea? and any tips?

ok, so me n this girl went out for like 3 weeks and we took eachothers virginity and then i flirted with her best friend.. :/ anyway i have apologized everyway i could think of... i think i love her.. i cant get her off my mind. anyway now she talks to this guy and she says that she loves him and all but idk.. well she had a grease fire accident and her whoole body got burned and ive been feeding her and helping her walk and changing her gauze and everything. anyway i want to ask her back out by in a romantic way.. i have this idea. well this this lady who has land and its her friend and i first went over her house last week and its amazing her backyard is a big hill and on the top is a tree with a mistle toe bush and under the tree is a picnic table and i wanna take her there at sunset around 7 or 7:30 (when the sky is pink) but i also want to reassure her that she can trust me. please help me. oh and also last night she me n her stayed up all night and about 7 in the morning right b4 we went to sleep i fingered her for like 5 min. and she told me she loves me but she doesnt trust me and we cuddled and everything :/ i loved it i thought we were getting back together but when she woke up she told me she doesnt remember it :/. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Is it time to stop swaddling my son?

yes stop swaddling him. If his arms are swaddled he cant get them loose im guessing his face could be in the mattress, id be nervous too. I stopped swaddling around 4 1/2 months but i had the swaddles with the velcro on them, so i would put my babys legs in the swaddle and then wrap the rest under his arms so they were free. I hope that makes sense... I did that till about 5months then just stopped. He was never a good sleeper so like you he woke every two hours. Good luck

At what age did your baby start sleeping longer periods at night?

Try making a very consistent routine before night sleep. Whatever you want to be a part of the routine is fine - bath, book, massage, song - along with changing diaper and feeding. Do everything the in the same order every night. When he wakes at night be extremely boring. No talking, no playing, no giggles. Just answer his basic needs. During the day when he wakes up make sure you are interactive, playful, and give him lots of attention. He will get a better sense that he is expected to have fun awake periods during the day, and not so much at night. You can let him cry a little bit - it is not abandoning him to leave him go for 5 or 10 minutes. Sometimes babies will wake and cry out, and in a few minutes settle down and go back to sleep. You can give him a little time to see if that is the case before you go to him. My favorite sleep book is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. He is a pediatrician and sleep researcher. Very helpful information. Good luck.

Am I over reacting here?

I think you should just be straightforward with her and tell her how you feel about her. Obviously you feel something and there's really nothing to lose, especially if you two don't talk very much anymore. I think it will turn out okay and if not, you're still young and there are plenty of fish in the sea!

Would you tell your best friend if...?

Well my best friend's boyfriend went on a mission trip a week ago, and my other friend texted me telling me that she saw him flirting and cuddling on other girls and getting their numbers and stuff, but when she confronted him, he said it didn't matter because he would never see them again. My best friend still doesn't know because she is on vacation at the moment, and if I'm going to tell her, I want it to be in person. I'm just wondering if I should tell her or not. Her 11 month was yesterday, and I just don't want her to get really upset or anything. But then again, if I were her then I would want to know, but IDK if that's just me. Should I tell her?

Babys kicks hurt really bad?

don't be too worried, if he's still kicking around in there and everything feels okay, don't panic yourself too much, if it is really troubling you, call your midwife, but it is probably just braxton hicks, cause they were rhythmic, repetitive and almost the same length each time. There's not long left to go now.. good luck :]

How do you cover your baby when he/she is sleeping?

My baby is 4 months old, and I do not know how to cover her when she's sleeping at night. She does not like to be swaddled anymore and takes her arms out... and when I touch her arms, they would be cold. I've tried a loose blanket, attended, and came back to find it right over her face. So I don't think this is an option to use at night for now. I've also tried the sleeping bags, and she gets all sweaty and cries, she hates them. I'm really confused about what to do... swaddling her was great, until she grew out of it now.

Does my roommate/ex want me to still sleep in his bed?

Ho, humm...games, games, games. We the forum speakers, can't help herein...but ask this - are you prepared to do this forever?

Engagement invitation wording ideas?

If you don't care about using the word engagement, just call it an open house or BBQ and invite those who you want to celebrate your engagement with. That way you don't have to make any reference to gifts and if people ask if they should bring food, you can say yes or no. Even if you do call it an engagement party, you don't really have to say no gifts please because most people would just bring a card or wine, not an actual gift. Until you make a gift registry at some store, they don't know what to get you ;)

Wanting some more opinions on what my friend said while drunk?

Here's some advice: Don't write an essay next time. I hate reading paragraphs on here and it's summer so just chillax and have a drink

Should I take my dog with me?

I would take him with you, if they allow pets, cause it's only right if he loves you now for being the owner.

WIC Formula; What Can I Get?

I get Nutramigen on WIC. My doctor had to fill out the WIC form as to why...and I am also breastfeeding and they still cover it. They also cover my lactose free milk, as the doctor was worried about the cow milk protein not only in the formula but possibly in my breastmilk. Speak to your pediatrican, get the form from WIC, and you shouldn't have any trouble. If you do...ask to speak to the director of the local office. You really shouldn't have ANY problems, other than my grocery store has to have a manager come override it every time I go get the nutramigen. (due to the cost and not being what is normally covered). Best of luck

My wife claims she is very guarded cause I dint give her enough attention during our years of marriage?

ok here is the deal, first I know Im guilty of not taking care of her enough for the last 2 years or so, we do have a beautiful little one she is also 2 years old, a month ago she told me she wasn't Happy and she was going to move out, I asked her why and she tell's me that I dint do enough around the house and I dint help her out enough, so here is the deal this morning she finally told me that what she was in needing was, not material things only love, being touch being told she is very appreciated cuddle and all that very important things in marriage, my problem is she say she still love me, but not in love with me at the moment, now that I know what she needs I want to make sure that I give her everything that her heart needs, just wondering if any one specially Ladies are being in a similar situation, I really love this Girl very very much. Please if any one being there let me know.

Why would a guy bring a chick around me that I don't care for? Best answer 10 points.?

he is trying to get on your nerves and make you jealous, because he cares for you and he knows that you dont like the girl. so he is trying to get under your skin, but dont let him. let him know that you dont care, show it by walking away and not even noticing them. the less you notice them the less youll care, and just focus on yourself or make yourself busy all the time that you have no time what so ever to even worry about them.

How do I tell lesbian my friend that i'm not interested in her?

Grow your hair long, wear bright colours again, remove those studs, and last but not least have those tattoo's laser removed and you're good to go.

QUESTION FOR WOMEN..............?

i would find this weird being honest, but it depends how you handle it, if you were really full on about it and said how much it meant to you straight away it would probably scare any girl off. but if your cool about it and just make it fun and play full it could be ok. you could then later, when your close enough, explain how good she was and how much it meant. but to straight away say that's what you want it would be a bit odd.

This girl keeps jerking me around, but I still like her? How can I get her back?

Okay. DUDE. This sounds JUST like me. The girl. I am going to admit I am a tease and maybe she is the same way? Maybe she just WANTS you to like her. Best thing for you to do is just let her go. Keep her at a friend stage or something. You will get over her eventually. Try seeing another girl. DO NOT DATE HER AGAIN. Ever. Trust me, you'll only end up hurt. She probably gave you a second chance because she missed you or something? She definitely just wants you as a good close friend. There was probably something on her mind doing the movie? Or maybe it was you thinking it was awkward? Her not cuddling with you isn't awkward.. It just means she's not into you like that. She most likely talked to you about her ex cause she wants you to realize that she wants you as a friend or she's just playing you GOOD and wants you to be jealous. Don't walk away from this. But you can't have her.. If you can handle it, try being friends with benefits? That's the most you can get from her. OR! TALK TO HER. Talk to her about all of this. Make sure she's not giving you bullshit. I lied to my guy and told him I liked him when I didnt cause I knew he liked me a lot and I didnt want his feelings to be hurt. Maybe shes doing the same to you? Tell her you can handle the truth and you wont be mad at her if she has been lying about her feelings for you.

What Is The Best Book You've Read That's Written In 1st Person POV?

And I mean the best written book. If I were to pick a genre, I'd say Fantasy, but that doesn't matter. I just want to see how other writers convey that point of view.

Do you think i ever cross his mind...we haven't had sex since early early december!?!?!?

i thought we really hit it off in every way. started talking. eventually hooked up..had sex 3 times in one night the first time. we probably had sex about 6 times total. we'd spoon and cuddle all night afterwards. he told me how attracted he is to me, and didn't pressure me to have sex. but then he stopped contacting me out of the blue, after i met all his friends and whatnot. i was confused..turns out he was seeing someone else. got himself a girlfriend :/ i called him back in february just to check if he was alive but the phone convo was a little weird. haven't heard from him since then..we had such a connection though, met totally randomly. ugh. do you think i ever cross his mind or not?? we are friends on facebook as well.

6 month old sleeping tips?

My baby is about to be 6 months old, this is my first child, and i think i've gotten myself into a sticky situation. My son will sleep for four hours the first time I put him down at night (maybe, but not always!) then he wakes every three hours like clockwork. (lately he's been waking every 2 and 1/2 hours!) Also, he will only sleep that long if he is swaddled. (When he cries for me, i go in his room, and hes out of the swaddle.) This is the only way! If i don't swaddle him (or hold him like i do at nap time :[ ) he will not sleep longer then about 20 minutes. i tried the "cry it out" but he is quite stubborn and i'm not comfortable with how long he can cry and cry and cry. I want him to sleep better so i can be happier during the day :(

Will the robin eggs i found hatch?

I found 3 robin eggs and when I candled them I could see blood vessels and veins and could see a dark red spot inside one of them that could be a heart .I have put them in a basket with hamster fluff to swaddle them and a heat dish on low to try and incubate them.With two of them you can see yolk floats to the top when you turn it but the one with the heart no yolk does not float to the top.

We kissed and was rubbing each other, HELP?

My answer is "End It". Stop obsessing. This is not good for you, and will decidely get worse if you dont stop. Best Wishes.

Im so confused:/ What do i do?

ok so i have been dating this guy for a ouple of months, hes everything i have ever wnated except one thing.. and to be honest i dont know what it is. When we first met he asked me for my number and i gave it to him, then we started hanging out and he always wanted to talk and text. So he was kinda benig annoying but then i really started liking him. Well he is not originally from here, he moved here to be with this girl he was dating a while ago. Well we started hanging out more and more. and then we got a hotel together bc i live with my parents and he lives with her so we couldnt hang out with each other. He didnt try to do anything with me when we layed in the bed or anything. He knew i was cold the first night so he cuddled with me and he cuddled with me for a few days, and i made the first move.He had court one day, and he left at 7:30 in the morning and his court time was at 9:30. But he was gone all day. So he texted me from his phone pretending to be his brother and told me that he had gotten locked up and all kinds of things, i knew it was him bc i knew how he texted. But i played along and he asked me how i felt about him, and i told him then i told him that i knew it was him the whole time. So then we started dating and he has a hard time trusting people so he didnt open up. And he would just randomly not come back to the hotel, and he would tell me he was going to his brothers to do laundry. I believed him, until i found out his brother had moved to a diff city 4 days before. Well he bought me flowers and a card, and apologized for lieing. And these werent cheap flowers. So i thought he was sserious that time, well he did it again but didnt say he was going to his brothers he told me straight up he was going to that girls house, but he lives there. Theres no where else for him to go where im at bc all his family lives in a dif state. Si i understand he had to go back there sometimes so she didnt kick him out and he would have no where to go. But then he started opening up to me.. and everything but then the other night we were texting and he said that he missed me, and he wanted to hear my voice, and loved me. so i said call me and he said he was tired. so i didnt text him bac bc i went upstairs to do something and my phone was downstairs, and he had texted me twice and was like y are you mad and i said im not mad was just doing something, then i said i just dont understand y you wouldnt call someone if you missed them, and he said ok i will call you in a min when i get up out of bed and i said ok. he never called or texted me.. so we were suppose to go do something together today, and i woke up had no texts or missed calls from him. so i called him went straight to voicemail, 30 mins later i call him it rings but no answer. so for the rest of the day it went straight to voicemail, then i called him a hr ago and it rang but no answer.. its so weird and im so confused!!! sorry bout how long it is just had to get my point across so you would understand.. but someone tell me whats going on what should i think or do.. am i overreacting??

When you hear bad news (affecting the person talking to you) do you say "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry to hear it."?

I used to just say, "I'm sorry," but too many people jumped in with, "It's not YOUR fault" (that Grandma died, that the dog ran away, etc.), so I switched to, "I'm sorry to hear it." I'm not entirely comfortable with this, though, because it seems to state that, I would be fine with the thing happening, if only the person would not bother me with the news. Of course, this is not what I wish to convey at all.

5 week old wants to suckle on me all the time! Help?

I have a 5 week old girl. Love her to pieces! I am breastfeeding with a bottle of breastmilk once a day after she nurses if she is still hungry. I do this because sometimes when she is done nursing she will Suckle on me for 30 min or more if I will let her. She will not continue to eat, just Suckle. For the past 3 weeks all she has wanted to do is have me in her mouth. She refuses to sleep on het cosleeper and instead of going every 2-3 hours between nursing I am lucky to get 1 hour. I cannot get anything done. A paci will not satisfy her but she needs to learn some other way of comfort besides me right? Do not say I am being cruel or this is what being a mom is about. Because every 30 min to an hour is to much. And she cannot be going through a 3 week growth spurt. How can I get her to stop using me as a pacifier? How can I get her to sleep on her bed? The moment she is down her eyes are open. She hates having her arms swaddled too so I only.do her lower body. Rocking doesn't work either. Help?

I met this girl about a year ago now. We became extremely good friends and I liked her for a long time. My friend also began to like her. My friend and I are the same person basically. We are shy and not good with people. Socially awkward one might say. Anyways we both confronted her one night that we like her. And to our surprise she actually had crushes on both of us. So at this point she wouldnt allow anything to happen because it wouldnt be right to the other person. I was really hurt because I liked her so much. I eventually confronted my friend and told him how I felt and he said he felt the same way and that he wouldnt be comfortable with me dating her. So time went on. I tried to hold her hand and cuddle and stuff and she said no because it wouldnt be right. So I gave up with that. Later on I she finially let me hold her hand. I then decided that I like her enough that I should show it. Thats not generally me. Like I said. I'm shy so I wanted to show I really like her. So I invited her over to tell her face to face that I think shes pretty and exactly how I felt. And she said she could see her dating me the most because we talk the most and stuff. Anyway. I thought thought my friend wasnt as intirtested in her anymore. I eneded up cuddling with her and later making out. SHe has never had a boyfriend so I thought it was really cool that I was the first person she made out with. I asked her out and she said she would have to think about it. Anyyways. Just yesterday. My friend and my other friend (the one who likes her) had us get together because he knew both sides of the story. The story being that of we have both made out with her. This killed me. I didn't think or didnt want to know that my friend made pulled moves on the girl I liked. It hurt me more that this happened like months ago and several times. So I find out I was not the first person she made out with. And also I held back because she said it wouldnt be right to the ohter person. And here I find out she was just doing that will my friend. I just don't know what to think or do. I am mad at her because she didnt tell me that she was doing things with my friend and she only felt bad about it once we actually found out about it. It didnt seem to bother her at all before. I'm sorry if this is too long and a mess. I am just typing what I'm thinking and not looking back at what I'm writing. But I basically havnt talked to her for two days now. SHe wasnt dating any of us so it's not like she was wrong doing. So maybe I shouldnt be mad. But still. This changes the exerpince we had together and also I don;t know if I can be friends with her anymore. First because of this situation and because we vertainly cant go out at this point and I don't know if I can handle being friends with someone I like a lot. I've been dealing with it for a long time now and its hard. Basically what I want to know is should i talk to her? I've just been ignoring her. We talked a little right after I found out. I'm just so mad and I like being her friend so much. She is my best "girl" friend and I am her best guy friend. I don't want that to be ruined but maybe it has too. I just dont know. If you trooped through this thank you for listening.

My 2 month old only sleeps in arms, and screams during feedings and trying to sleep?

She has had these troubles since she was born. Pulling up her Knees and screaming crying . She has never slept like a "newborn" should. Her doctor told me she's healthly and to dry gripe water. Tried many different things and nothing helps. I've swaddled her, pat her, swayed, rocked, bounced, sing, and bought all gagets out there, I've done it all. Even stoped breastfeeding thinking it was my diet doing it and switched many formulas. Oh ya even bought dr. Browns bottles. Still screams and woken up out of a deep sleep like this. It's got to be something internal? Is this familiar to anyone?

How to have sex with my gf?

I'm 19, she's 19, neither of us have had sex before. We aren't just complete weirdos that have been refused sex by everyone else. We've been going out for a couple months ever since the start of 2nd semester in college. I'm 6'3, 190 lbs (fairly good looking I guess) and If I wanted to have a sex with some random slut I would've done that day 1 of college...but I wanted to wait for someone really special. How do I convey this to my girl friend without coming off as someone just trying to get some?

Small pet question? really could use any help?

Get a Gerbil, they don't smell, they love to be played with, they rarely bite, and they're easy to tame. I own two wonderful Gerbils and they are so sweet and friendly. But get two Gerbils as they are very sociable animals and are much better and more easy to tame in pairs. (Make sure the pair is from the same litter or else stranger Gerbils may fight)

Overactive newborn who fights sleep - anyone experienced this?

My mother told me years ago that I was the exact same way. Mom made sure I was clean, dry, fed and warm, but all I would do was cry. After several weeks, she decided to flip me over onto my stomach, I went right off to sleep. It could be just such a small thing as that You must break this routine you have set and try something simple and new. I always had set times for naps and bedtime. Prior to each, the child was given a drink (bottle and later a cup of milk or water) Nothing with sugar or caffeine. We had "quiet time" for one hour prior to bed. I would use this time to calm them by reading or soft music. Then they were put to bed with a favorite stuff toy, I would spend just a few short minutes kissing them good night, covering them (letting them know they are loved and safe) then I would leave the room. Letting a child dictate to you now is only setting yourself up for temper tantrums later when they don't get their way. Your child must be taught a schedule, it will make her feel secure. Sometimes a child is not sleepy at nap time, and that's ok, but they still need their rest. Let her "play" or scream her little head off, but let her stay in bed for at least 1 hour. She will get the message. Also do not run to check on her if she cries because she doesn't want to go to bed, let her cry herself to sleep. You can tell the difference between a tantrum cry and a hurt cry. Don't give in. She will. Good luck

EAT/SLEEP QUESTION about 11 week old?

My 11 week old eats 4 oz every 4 hours and goes to bed around 9:30 pm. She sleeps until 2 or 3 and eats. She falls back asleep until 5 and wakes every hour after until 7:30 or so. She eats when she wakes that last time. She usually takes a 2 1/2 hour nap once and little naps after that. She has to be swaddled to sleep for a long period and has to be in swing or held during the day to stay asleep. She sleeps just fine in her bassinet at night though. I guess my question is if this is a normal pattern. I forgot to mention that she has to be almost completely asleep before she goes down at night and completely asleep before you can put her down during the day.

My 3 week old wont sleep?

How do I get my baby to stop scratching and pinching me? Its getting serious!?

Where possible every time she pinches or scratches you put her down. She'll soon associate scratching/pinching with being put down. It will take perseverance though. Good luck.

When you hang out with a girl in a hot tub, what do you do?

I asked a girl if she wanted to go hot tubing and she made it seem like a huge deal and she said she would rather watch a movie and cuddle. And when I envision hot tubing I think of like sitting together and stuff. What activities go on while hot tubing??

Its been over 2 years but still no commitment not even dating. what should i do? am i getting played or what?

This guy and I have been sleeping together on and off for almost 2 years now, we go out to dinner or to do something fun, I know his whole family and go to his family gatherings, we can just lay in bed and talk and cuddle all night without having sex. He kisses me with passion not just a stupid peck, he says he cares about me. I am currently almost 9 months pregnant but not with his child, with someone i dated for a short time now my daughters father is no longer around and hasnt been since 8 weeks, then him and I started our weird relationship again and he calls every single night to tell me goodnight and to have me put my phone to my stomach so he can tell her goodnight, brings me food or whatever im craving at anytime of the night even tho he lives 20 minutes away, goes to my doctors appointment with me but yet we are still just friends. He was married before and his wife was killed in a car accident on there 2 year wedding anniversary. he was driving but it wasnt his fault. that was 6 years ago and she was his only love, they were together since they were 13. he is now 30 and keeps saying it makes a horrible bf because he focuses to much on his video games but yet ive never seen it. he also says he isnt ready for another commitement because he is scared of loosing someone else. Does it sound like im getting used just for sex or could there maybe be some truth to what he is saying. I really love him and he knows that but doesnt say anything back really. I hate giving up hope but ive never felt like this before with anyone else and i think thats why i always go back to him.

Swaddling.........?????

Okay, before I had my som my MIL told me that she read an email that swaddling was bad recently. This was brought up because she asked something about the blankets in the crib(i can't remember exactly) and I told her we were going to use a swaddle me breathable baby blanket. I asked he why and se said she didn't remember and that I would have to look it up. I did and found nothing. I have never had anyone else tell me it is bad and even the nurses did it at the hospital. Is there anything bad about swaddling babies?

Baby girl will sleep in the carseat but not in her crib?

My daughter used to eat then pass out as soon as you put her in bed. But the first time i took her to her first Dr's appointment and she met the car seat it was like love at first sight. Now she has a hard time sleeping in the crib but knocks out as soon as shes put in that car seat. What can i do? Ive tried swaddling her but that only works for so long.
