Laney, you seem to be really hung up on the "looks" thing.   My DH and his brother are both circumcised. They were in their 40's when they learned from their Mom that their Dad had been intact. They had no idea - and they grew...

We had a dog already when our twins were born, and he loved the babies. But we waited until they were 7 until we got another puppy. It wasn't because our kids weren't ready - it's because DH and I knew how much time and commitment a...

Welcome, Lady of S!   I have some encouragement for you - my nephews live in Texas (near Waco), and they are intact. They are 14 and 12 years old.   My twin sons are 17, and have never had a problem with their...

I eneded up having a C-section at 39 weeks - up to that point, both my family doctor and OB were willing to let me deliver vaginally. I developed HELLP syndrome quickly (my blood pressure was fine at 7:30 am, and through the roof at 11...

It sounds like you and DH have a serious problem. What exactly does he do when you get home from work? Why isn't he doing dishes, laundry, etc when you are there to care for the kids - or taking care of the kids so you can do some of...

Until our twins were about 2, we couldn't leave them alone in a room without someone getting bitten, hit, or have a truck thrown at someone's head. DH and I literally "tagged off" with our hands if one of us was going to go to the...
