What age did your baby start to grab at things?
My baby is 3 months. At this point she is eating her hand, watching things as they pass, and staring at things that Im thinking she wants to stick in her mouth. I want her to start grabbing things though. I was wondering how old your baby was when they started grabbing things that they [...]
Do you feel that you learned more from parenting books or more from trial and error? Or both?
Personally, I was a clueless first time mother who learned most of my parenting from the many books I read. I then applied that information into our daily lives. When something did not work, I tried something else. I found the information learned from "the experts" most benificial to me and my children. I could [...]
What age should a baby start having a bedtime?
My 3 1/2 month-old eats about every 3 hours until his last feeding and then he usually sleeps through the night right after. But I’m wondering if it would be better for him to have a bedtime routine every night. Any mommies or daddies out there have their babies on a sleep routine? If so, [...]
Do we equate wealth and status with good parenting?
I have often heard Conservative types preaching about how some poor child has been "saved" from a life of "poverty" with a penniless single mother and adopted by a wonderful middle class couple who can provide them with all they want.

What’s [...]

How’d you feel about limiting pregnancy by requiring birth control from first menstration until the age of 21?
I suppose this would be considered the "solution" to the teen pregnancy problem. And yes, I am aware of constitutional impediments to restricting procreation and religious opposition to birth control in general. Thoughts?
follow-up: wouldnt be so silly to assume that kids would be responsible for taking birth control on their own. This would be [...]
When do you start feeling the baby move during the second pregnancy?
This is my second pregnancy (actually my third but I miscarried that baby at 6-7 weeks.) I felt my son moving between 17-18 weeks. I am currently 12 weeks. Earlier today I was sitting on the couch and felt a "bubble" in my tummy….. My first thought was oh the baby [...]
