Child Care/Parenting Experiences

YES.

Parents of marriage-age girls, beware...

If the groom is a son of a smoker, he should be asked to furnish a doctor certificate saying he is Fertile.

So, please never be a passive smoker. This is very dangerous. Smoking effects not only self, but also others innocently.

So Mothers&Fathers-To-Be, just think awhile. How extent, all we are causing to have a healthier future generation.
We dont have a right to ruin lives of our innocent offsprings.

Hi everyone,

I have a question. does any one hire a nanny from another country?
I am a mother of four kids, my hubby travel a lot. I am also student. I hired many Nannies but they weren't good as they seems when you first hire them.
I like to hire my cousin from my country. I wonder what kind of document I had to fill out to get an overseas nanny.
anyone had advice please.
Thank you

Dont worry
go to doctor ,tell the doctor that you were yet to take the insurance and wife got the pregnancy,they will coem oout with a solution for sure.

Hi,

Due to some reasons, I cancelled my Group Insurance policy from my employer when they are enrolling for 1Year. After that I got married I came back and wife came USA, after she came here we got to Know she is pregnant.

At Present I don’t have Insurance, I asked my employer to take me Family insurance he says you are not enrolled last time you need to wait for next year. I enquired some insurance company’s to take Individual Family insurance all are saying we don’t cover pre existing things.

Here is my Situation::

I am Working Present state From Last 7months. My wife Came USA Just 2 weeks back. Right now 2nd month running.

its not that u can take medicine for fever,diarrhea,cold from usa for child--i think u need to consult local dr in india and give medicine accordingly. so give practical advise,rather than theoretical.

If you are a smoker, If your wife/you is/are pregnant, ....*** Think awhile ***

Many medical studies/researches have found that, passive smoking effects, offfsprings, very badly if you are pregnant.

This could cause in very nasty deseases like Asthma, Bronchitis which are so prolonged ( which trouble for life time ),
could cause Azoospermia which causes your child infertile. Male child cannot become father, because of Zero sperm count.
Also, could cause chromosal abnormalities, immatured & imbalanced brain. In fact, this effects on Zygote
( the single cell human - the starting point of human life )

Stop generalizing. My mom was here to help me with the kids. I will be thankful to her all my life for everything she has done. When I asked her to come before I had kids, she refused and said she would come only when I have kids. I can totally take care of my kids by self without a doubt. For my second baby I told her that she doesn't have to come, she was almost in tears and said 'Do you think I will be happy here when you are going through all this alone'. I got up in 4 weeks and got back to work, just because I have to support my parents, my sister's family and my windowed sister in law. I send 60% of salary to them. I don't need work if I just think about my self and only my kids. When she was here I used to get up at 5:30a.m to get to work early and get back home early, so that I can spend time with her. So stop generalizing.

Ok, i have been in this situation so i am telling you this. My mother she is widow doesn't know english, and first time when she came here (when i didn't had my baby), she was so bored even though she had 6 months stay she didn't want to be here . i got regional channels for her & took her to most of the places(NY,LA, Niagra etc) but still i think she was feeling bored & lonely inside. but then in the next trip when i had my baby she was very happy to stay here & she did stay for 6 months. now my mom left to india, i leave my baby in daycare.

I am almost like single mom as my hubby travels lot & me being on my own & my mom being here helped me a lot.I really appreciate all her help (that doesn't mean she has to get up in the night) but most of her advise what is best for my baby etc.. helped me a lot. I still think calling them after pregnancy is better .

Hope this justify my view.

That's the point. i am not saying that all people do this. but most of the people....
