Question: So this is the deal my husband and I have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old baby girl or big girl as she likes to call herself . This is the situation my husband already has two boys from a previous relationship oldest will be 7 this year and the other 4. Now I have taken them under my wing and love them very much but I want another for me I know we have “3 kids” but I will always have had only one child. I have asked my husband for another but he really doesn’t want one. I have been a house wife for awhile raising our daughter and helping with his boys when he was deployed but lately I want another. (Im going back to school soon) Well The other day he said once I get my finish with school and work for like a year we can have another and that excited me but…. That is like 3 to 4 years from now our youngest will be 6 almost 7 by then I don’t think I would want another. All the kids will be in school. So should I have one now? Or do think after that long I will want another. I was also thinking that is a big gap between the kids. There is a big gap between my younger brother and sister and me. I feel my mom raised me way more harsh than she is with them now. So what im saying is if I wait that long I don’t want that to be the slacker kid the one we don’t discipline as hard… I don’t know advice please!
Question: I’m talking about a whiny spoiled child that turns on the waterworks to get her way. My sister’s second child is spoiled and cries at anything when she doesn’t get her way. I don’t want to spoil her more. I want to help teach her about sharing and being kind and that we can’t always have our way.
I think the child’s parents would give in to her and give her what she wanted whenever she started crying just to shut her up. Of course the kid realizes this and uses it to her advantage.
I don’t want to give in. I don’t want to be too mean to her, but I do want to be stern when I discipline her.
What do you do with a child like this? How do you handle a cry baby? Any advice is appreciated.
Question: I am going back to work so I have to find a long term baby sitter, for my 3 yr old and 1 yr old. Every one I know and trust have jobs, and I can’t use a day care center b/c my son is constantly sick. He has colds or infections all the time. With them comes the fever and any day care center would send him home and I would never be able to work. The only other option I can think about is hiring someone, but the thought of a stranger watching my kids terrify me. I’ve seen to many FBI Files type shows. Are there any other options out there or anything I can do to keep my kids safe? Thanks everyone

Question: I’m afraid that if I have a baby it will end up like it’s cousins…. My worries are two-fold:
1: All the kids are all out of control, have no respect for anyone, basically they are right little terrors, even the girls, so badly behaved, very spoilt, their parents could do more to discipline them….
2: (much worse) they all (all 6 of them) have some sort of health condition or another – some less serious than others, but for some reason they all have health problems, e.g. speech problems, vision problems, learning problems, kidney problems…….none of the are in 100% health – they are aged from 2 to 11 and I’m really worried that if my husband and I have a child it too would have health conditions.
I wasn’t aware before we got married that his family had such a strong history of health conditions, but it became more apparent afterwards as we moved closer to his family so see them very regularly. I still really want to have kids, and yes, I am aware that just because all the other kids in his family have issues doesn’t mean ours will, and also I am not ignorant to that fact that our kids may have a health condition linked to someone from my side of the family, but it still worries me.
The two issues above, put together, are stopping me from trying to conceive. We spend a lot of time with my husband’s family and I don’t see that changing in the future. Even without all the health issues, I don’t want my future kid(s) to grow up surrounded by such out of control children, and by uncles and aunts that don’t control their own kids.
Am I being irrational? This has really been worrying me and I can’t really talk to be husband about it because he loves his nephews and nieces to bits (I do too, to an extent, but it’s a case of “not in my back yard”…) and I feel like he would be really offended if i even brought up the issue of our child having a similar health issue………………………
