Good luck!!

I don't think that constitutionally speaking you would be able to put any sort of cut off on age.. Something about women's reproductive rights and all that....


I have an uncle and aunt in law that were in their late 50's and had IVF treatments and just gave birth a year ago to a healthy boy.. They are going to be in their 70's at his wedding.. I couldn't imagine being old enough to know that it was far more likely for me to miss all of my child's growing into adulthood than not.. I don't know how they live with that thought alone...

That's kind of what I took away from it also. Where is the OP??

I would keep the stuff out of the crib until the baby has good head control.

What does head control have to do with it? my 5 mo old has good head control but loves to put fabric over her face.

A baby with good head control can move their face if unable to breath I think is what the PP was saying, but it takes a little while for them to have the skills to actually know to do that.

My thoughts exactly!!

To me, it really sounds like a security issue.. how long has she been thinking that you were cheating? Because she obviously hasn't left yet, so either way it looks like she has low self esteem, and I agree that counseling sounds like the way to go here.

My daughter did this when she was around that age, and it was part of what caused us to learn of a milk allergy.. So there may be a chance of that? Does she have a rash or anything else?

Yeah, I would just wait until the baby shows you that there's good head control and coordination before using these things.

I agree with a PP, have you tried the things that might help the process along before going to this extreme?

Yeah, it depends on what I'm going there for.... I've never gotten impatient enough to leave an appointment..

I think that you and your husband really should come to some sort of agreement together whether it be he stays, you go, you all go, whatever, I think it's fair that it be a mutual decision. That's just my opinion though, so if it were me, I would have a discussion with him, where you can both explain your sides of the argument. If he is at all worried about the safety of you and your children, than you should respect that whether you see validity in it or not.

I absolutely think you should let your boss know.. try to find a way to do it anonymously if you are worried about some kind of back fire, write an anonymous note for boss' mailbox or something...

It's sad that in this day and age we are having to have discussions such as this...

I think that's her name.

OT but when was this? People who were serious about their education always have.

I'm not that person, but nobody studied for the SATs when I was in high school -- 84 and 85 are the years I took them. And everyone was dead serious about their education.

Up until the 80's all you did was show up with your #2 lead pencils then wait for the scores to come in the mail.

Someone who took their SAT's before 1980 is not going to put their SAT's on their resume.. I took mine eight years ago and my scores aren't on mine.. so that was really just another pointless part of that response.
