I don't think I'll be letting my son eat meat any time soon. To me, the decision to not eat meat is a deeply spiritual and ethical choice, akin to a religious belief. I definitely do not think my 3 year old is mature enough to...

I am a vegetarian and have been raising my son that way too. I decided that he could choose to eat meat (out of the house) once he's old enough to fully understand what it is, and the suffering involved with it. I'm hoping that by...

Does anyone know of ill effects of taking AHCC while breastfeeding? The bottle says to consult your doctor, but mine doesn't seem to know anything about it.

My ds (who's almost 1) has never been a great sleeper, but the past week has been excruciating and I feel like I am going to lose it. I put him to bed at 8, he wakes up at around 11, 1 or 2, then at 4 and wont go back to sleep until 6...

by all means, BE HONEST!!! I am a birth mother, and I also am not christian, do not eat meat. When I was looking for my daughter's parents, I would've loved to come across someone like you. I specifically asked the agency to narrow the...

Thanks so much for your support and advice. Just to clarify -- I told my daughter's parents of my pregnancy just after the first trimester, and told them I had changed my mind when I was 6 months along. So for about three months they...

we did not sign any contract. I felt that we had a great relationship and I did not want appear as if I didn't trust them. Besides, they are leaving the country so it wouldn't have meant anything anyway. Thanks so much for the support.
