MamaButterfly replied to Boring User Name's discussion 'The Suburbs'"I don't know if this helps any, but when I moved from one small town to a slightly larger small town next door, I made a lot of friends that didn't even have kids and didn't just identify me as "the kids mom". I think the…"

MamaButterfly replied to StitchyWench's discussion 'Kids today need to talk to eachother more'"My daughter and her friends talk about everything, even things I wish they wouldn't talk about.

MamaButterfly replied to Mamawho's discussion 'Homeschool persecution?'"I think it's shocking that homeschooling is illegal in germany.

MamaButterfly replied to Lady Grey's discussion 'Mastitis/Clogged Duct?'"Oh, sorry I didn't realize you had weaned. Bad advice. Do not express any of the milk. Those kinds of symptoms are pretty common after weaning, sounds like it's just a clogged duct that may be slightly infected."
MamaButterfly replied to Lady Grey's discussion 'mastitis?'"Oh, ouch! A full fledged infection is aweful and like mamawho said, also I got a fever and body aches. Before it gets to that point it can just feel really painful and stuck and hard, which is a clogged duct. If that's what you have, you can…"

I just found out today. I'm only about four weeks along, so not really experiencing any symptoms yet. I'm so excited! I can't wait till my bf gets home so I can tell him he's gonna be a daddy! We've only been trying for two months, so this is really exciting!
My kids will be 10 and 6 when the new baby is born. Any ideas on how/when to tell them?

Her father is not in the picture at all, don't really know where he is, actually. My five year old son was born in a birthing tub at home when I was 21, and spends most afternoons with his daddy.
My kids are extremely aware and intelligent, and my daughter is a staunch activist. She spends a lot of time going to rallys, marches,… Continue
