Just kicked my husband out. Not sure to cry or sigh in relief. Been together 6 years. He had a drug problem that we've been working on. He left and spent 6 months with his mom to get him out of the area. we talked every day and video chatted. He claimed he was better. So he came back 1 week ago. And I've already caught him in a lie. I said I told him the condition when he came back. He didn't listen so I told him I'm done that our daughter comes first. I'm just so sad that he couldn't put our da...

Need advise. I have always had very fine hair, with some hair loss as well. I had my daughter just over a year ago and feel like it has gotten worse since I've had her. I'm always getting clumps of hair in the shower after I'm done. I use redkens sulfate free shampoo. I also do not wash it every single day. Is there any recommendations that you ladies had help with? Ive heard prenatals and things like that but any specific brands or something different all together. At this point I'm about to ch...

I'm not doing anything mom...

Does teething cause fevers? I've heard some parents say yes and others say no. My 1 year old is just cracking open another tooth, and has been warm (not hot) and sleepy all day today. While she is awake she has been acting just fine, a little cranky at times and a bit needy. But she plays and runs around with a smile on her face. If it was your own child would you say it's teething or would you be calling the doctor?

My daughter turned 1 on the 5th. We just got her photos back and I'm in love.

Has anyone tried 23andMe (or something similar)? I am considering trying it out. My "father" has not been in my life since day 1. And it's always awkward asking my mom anything about him, not that she wouldn't tell me, but when you get pregnant at 20 and the guy splits I'm sure she didn't get a lot of family history. Honestly I don't want to speak with him either, but I would really like to know more about my heritage to feel a little more complete. So I was hoping someone would give me any exp...

Anyone else's child have weird bedtime habits? My daughter just turned one. But for as long as I can remember, if she's tired and REALLY fighting sleep, I will hold her and grab one of her hands. Then I nibble on her index finger with my teeth for a min and within 5 mins she's out every time. We don't do it every night and she will smile or laugh when we do it but I find it hilarious. Anyone else have weird things that puts their child to sleep?

My daughter's first birthday party is this Sunday. We were just told yesterday that my husband's parents who live 9 hours away are not coming. But yet a few days ago we're making plans for the zoo while they were here. Supposedly his mom has been dealing with chronic pain that no one knew about for 5 years. So they don't want to make the drive. But literally my husband was down there the day they were leaving. He left Friday morning and they were supposed to leave about 3pm and stop in St Louis ...

I feel sad and so scared for my girl to grow up in this cruel world. We live in a tiny town of 3000 people. Today a little girl has finally passed on after attempting suicide last Thursday. She was only in 8th grade. I couldnt understand why kids have to be so savage to each other over simple things until I looked at us. How many people fight over how to raise kids and shaming people for their bodies and how people do not appreciate simple gestures anymore. The next time before you say something...

So much daughter is crawling all over the place and exploring everywhere she shouldnt. My question is how do you get them to not get into the dog food? I have 2 big dogs that we have always free fed. They're pretty slow eaters. And she has tried playing in their water bowls before but just recently noticed the food. I can't lock the gate because then my dogs can't reach their food and water, but I can't watch her every single move. I know dog food is safe to eat but I'd rather not have to feed 2...
