I need some input/advice. I'm going in tomorrow around 5 to be induced. My 12 year old stepdaughter lives with us, and as my husband is in the military we have no family here except for my mom who is here to be in the room with me. I love my stepdaughter to death, but I know being in pain and it being a long process, that I will not be able to handle her in the room for the entirety of the time. Of course I want her to be there for her sister, but do not think it's necessary that she is there the whole time. We have friends, that both husband and wife work by the hospital, and I was thinking of asking if they could take her to spend the night and bring her back up when they go to work in the a.m. How do I bring this up with out blatantly saying I don't want her in the room? I am already in a lot of pain and my nerves are shot so I would like it to be as calm as possible, plus I'm sure she does not want to see all of the things that are going to happen, lol.

Just tell the truth...you don't want her in the room! Having a baby is painful and stressful. Of she freaks, it won't help you. It might also be too much for her to see. Plus she needs rest, like @lil_bigmama said. I doubt anyone would think you were being mean. It's probably the best thing since I imagine you'll already be sorta on edge with your husband away. Also, I wish a haply, healthy delivery for you!!! =)
Tell her that it's not going to be quick & that it's something you don't think she's ready to experience (watch) happen yet. you could even tell one of the doctors / nurses to mention that she's too young to be in the room during delivery & it'll take it off you completely.
Get her daddy 2 talk 2 her if he can't u set her down and tell her it's a long process & u want her 2 b comfortable & b able 2 sleep so she can hold the baby when it's born
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Thank you ladies!! That's what I will do and you definitely all made me feel better. :) I wasn't sure if I was being mean for feeling that way, lol. @brafordfamily22 @lil_bigmama @tayek @lovemyson_610
