I cried when I went to see my little baby cousin at the hospital the day she was born. I also felt like a whole different person after I came out of the hospital room. I’m only 14 years old. is this normal?

You were emotional and its normal to cry. Also we tend to cry at happy events. Your coming out different ..because you saw a newborn infant…perhaps.
Yes its normal.

………………..

It depends on why you were crying. Look, you’re 14 and at a strange time in life. Emotions are rolling in every direction and you’re seeing things in different perspectives. Things will sort themselves out. Be safe.

…………

A birth of a baby is a miracle in every way. Babies make everyone feel different inside. Good for you…you are part of a miracle!

……………….

Aww..I cry all the time and I am a grown woman! lol I love babies and I cry watching a baby story on tv lol I think its very sweet, hopefully you will spoil your little cousin

………….

………….

Yeah.. that is PERFECTLY NORMAL… a blow away moment

my 17 year old daughter wants a moped to get to work and back.my husband says yes i say no way.what if she gets knocked off or something.am i being too over protective or do any parents agree with me.

I would have to say NO unless it was for a local job (no more than 5 miles) yes they can help in getting road sense but it’s coming up to autume and winter and they can be very cold and wet,mopeds are not as fast as cars and everybody is in a rush, leaving you easy to over take.One fall of a moped with trousers on and your legs won’t look so good, but you would look a bugger wearing leathers on a moped just some things to think about hope it helps.Get the job first then decide.

For my own personal understanding.

Adoptive parents need to be trained better on some of the needs of older children that have been in and out of the system.

Our son spent the first 2 - 3 years trying to screw up so bad that we would give “him back”. When one thing didn’t work, he would try even harder with a “worse” offense. It finally took a physical attack towards me before he finally realized he was with us for good. Hi finally figured out that if we would not send him away for that, nothing could make us send him away. (His words) But, we had no idea this is why he was acting out.

Also, counseling should be mandatory when adopting from foster care. Let the counselor decide if a family needs counseling or not… It would have saved us years of heart ache if we would have been working with a counselor right from the beginning. S/He could have told us why my son was acting out.

I’m sorry, I know you asked for just one, but they kinda go together.

TPR much faster. We are in the process of fostering 2 children and they’ve been in the system for 18 months. Their mom has a lot of hurdles to overcome to get them back and the system is such that she can keep delaying terminating her rights.

So we try to keep the kids from feeling like they are languishing in the system and hope for the best.

My nephew who was a yr old died recently and I want to know if it’s ok to have my kids attend wake and funeral service. The 8yr old wants to go, the 6 yr old says nothing. Both know about death as my mom died in our home (hospice). They seem fine with death being a natural part of life, it’s my family that’s giving me a hard time about it, stating it’s too traumatic foir them to see a dead baby

Death is a natural part of life. There is nothing wrong with your letting your kids experience this.

Funerals are for all of the people grieving the loss. Your kids mourn this loss, too & deserve the chance to come to terms with it in their own way.

Just stay close to them throughout, to make sure they are handling it OK & to make sure they are not causing problems for anyone else.

——

Its okay to let the children go because death is apart of life. Just let them know that the baby is gone to a better place. You don’t want to hide them from death, it would be more traumatic if you didn’t let them go. They might ask where is the baby and be more confused. So i say let them go and just explain to them the essence of death. Sorry for your loss!

———

I’m sorry for your family’s loss. Attending the funeral is an important part of letting go of their cousin. They should be allowed to go, but be sure to be by their side if and when they want to see the baby, if it’s an open casket.

Now my husband says she can’t sleep in the bed with us anymore. She is almost 5 months old, but I love having her in bed with us.
Should I just give in?

She is 5 months old, it’s time for her own bed. And her falling off the bed proved it. She is mobile and able to get around at this point.
Maybe you could start out by putting the crib in your room so you don’t feel like she is too far away.

If you feel it may be a safety issue it may be best that the baby sleep in her own bed.
I know how you feel about liking baby in bed with you… my daughter co-slept with me, and my son did at first, but I quickly learned he actually prefered to sleep alone. I liked having him close by for feeding at night etc. so he slept in a bassinet in our room until he grew out of it.
If your husband isnt comfortable with baby in bed you should respect that and comprimise! Invest in a co-sleeper that hooks onto the bed, or even a simple pack-n-play until your ready to move baby into her own room.

P.S dont let all those myths get to you about having baby sleep in bed with you, or even in your room will ruin their sleeping habits, and ability to sleep alone. My daughter and son both easily transitioned into their own beds and rooms, and they are great sleepers!
My daughter moved to her own room at age 1, and my son moved into his crib about 2 months ago (he was 7 months.)

Do what you feel works best for your family! Thats what I did and we are all happy sleepers!

Awe is she OK? Or should I say is mom OK? I bet that hurt you more then it hurt her.

I bet it’s great to have her in bed with you but it will become a problem when she’s 1,2 or even 3. I should know, I did it with my daughter and it was hard to get her to sleep on her own. She is now 20yrs old lol

I also have a 6 week old son and I think when he gets older in would be so fun to have him sleep with mommy and daddy and then I think back on how hard it was to have my daughter sleep on her own. Whatever you decide, best of luck and HAPPY 4th!!

He was only cranky at night 2 nights in a row and now he goes to sleep at bed time and sleeps his regular 10-12 hours a night with no waking..he’s not fussy either..Could the ped have been wrong? His gums don’t appear real red or swollen either…never have really. I had just called and told him his symptoms and she automatically said teething??

He’s 5 months? Yes, she’s probably right. Teething doesn’t necessarily make the gums read or swollen (my daughters never where) and the pain does come and go….thank God it’s not constant! He could also be gassy…..

Every baby is different .. and every tooth is different.
My son cut his first 2 teeth at the SAME time (both on bottom) and he didn’t fuss at all.
When he cut his top tooth, he got diarrhea and was fussy for 3 days.
Then with the other bottom teeth he got fussy .. then with the last top teeth, I didn’t even know he was teething.

It could *possibly* be teething, but not necessarily.
Sometimes babies just get fussy. He might have just been having a bad night ..
You’ll just have to wait to see if a tooth pops through. There is no way to know for sure until you actually see the tooth.

As far as age goes, it’s very possible that he’s teething. My son cut his first teeth at 4 months old.

——

yes, there are two types of teething: chronic and acute. chronic is on and off all the way up to about 2 years old. acute is when the tooth is about to break through. chronic teething brings drooling, chewing, some discomfort, occasional redness. acute can bring more discomfort, fervent chewing, sleep disruption, random and seemingly abrupt bouts of real hard crying, LOW fever, rash around mouth, diaper rash, loss of appetite. but all babies are different. ruby is only bothered by teething during the day. she has never woken at night or not been able to sleep. she gets super fussy during the day during the acute stage, but we have been lucky

yes the pain of teething can come and go. the ped. is most likely right by saying he is teething. But he can “teeth” for several months without a tooth. My son showed signs of teething for 4 months before he actually cut a tooth. BTW most babies cut their bottom front teeth first but they can come in on the top first too. Just depends on baby. Most likely he’ll cut his bottom first. My son was not cranky for the last two weeks leading up to his first tooth and all of a sudden i saw a tooth cutting through his gum. He was 8 months old and had teething symptoms since 4 months old.

I already have 5 year old twin girls and I am Pregnant with another girlie, but i am looking in to adopting a child sometime in the future to help them, how do you tell your child that they are adopted? and at what age? also what is your fave name as I am stuck at naming my baby girl, what do you think of the name Sophie and is Phe a good nick name for it? Or how about the name Phoenix?

okay, as my best friend was adopted, she was told young. they grow to be okay with it and knowing that you adopted them will make them happy to know that you care enough to give them a family. when they grow up and understand about adoption, they will really appreciate what you did to help them. but make sure that you tell her young. and sophie is an adorable name and phe is sooooo cute as a nickname!!

Adopting a child to “help” or “save” is not a good motivation. No human being wants to be another human being’s social service project, and that’s how it can end up coming across when the idea behind adopting is that it’s to “help” the other person.

If you do decide to adopt, be open and honest about everything from the very start. My parents were completely honest with me from the beginning, and I feel I fared much better than those who were devastated when they found out later. Late discovery adoptees (any adoptee who wasn’t told from the start) often feel like their entire lives have been a farce. They feel they have been lied to by their own parents. It just doesn’t go well
