    Portrait studios

    Err... Family pictures? :confused: We have a digital camera (which has rather good specification) and we take all our pictures at home. My sister is an amateur photographer and she likes to take fancy photos of her baby and my children...

    Supplements

    I've taken some multivitamins last year because of the extra-stress at work, but only for a short period of time. I didn't really feel like they've helped me in any way. I think it's better to focus on a balanced diet than to take supplements.

    Another's son

    I've asked myself this question several times. I dated a woman who had a two-year-old daughter and we talked about whether we should tell the girl about my being her step-dad. Unfortunately, the relationship didn't go that well, and we didn't end up together... :( I think I actually could treat...

    Coming home party

    I think it depends on what type of personality he is? Does he likes parties, or is he introverted? I agree with everyone above about the fact that a small party would be best. Maybe a dinner with his favorite dishes and perhaps a coming home present...

    The waiting game

    That's awesome! :) The waiting game is over. Congratulations! So, this isn't your first? How are your feelings now, by comparison to the last time you became a dad?

    Speaking in sentences

    My children began speaking in sentences at about three years old. I know it can be worrisome for some parents to see that other people's kids begin earlier, but - as it was mentioned above - everyone develops differently.

    Who gets the children during the divorce?

    If the children are at an age when they can form their own opinions, they should be allowed to decide whom they want to stay with until the divorce process ends and the judge decides who gets the custody.

    Children making money online

    I've recently found out that children can make money online. An acquaintance of my dad's has an 13-year-old son who does video blogging on YouTube, and apparently he received a check from YouTube after becoming what they call "an official partner" and placing advertisements on his channel...

    Children being religious

    I have a friend whose 11-year-old son seems to be particularly drawn towards religion. The parents are Christians (they believe in God and are baptized), but they are not really religious, as in attending church every Sunday, going to confessions etc. However, the child is fascinated with...

    Children and surgery

    Well, it seems the children in my family are accident-prone. My son broke his leg at the age of 4 and had to have surgery. Fortunately, everything turned out OK, he healed nicely and there's no limp or anything wrong with his leg. The other day my nephew (my sister's 9-year-old) fractured...

    Homecoming present for wife and baby

    When my wife came home with our first born, I purchased a huge bouquet of hydrangeas and tulips (her favorite flowers) and a platter full of assorted bite-sized vanilla cupcakes (which she loves). I also got our son a big stuffed polar bear toy... :p

    Wife depressed after baby

    Well, postpartum depression can take various forms and it is not always continuous. My sister-in-law, for example, had postnatal depression for almost a year. Medication and support groups may help the sadness go away quicker, but the other symptoms usually go away on their own.

    Where will baby sleep?

    We are going to do just like we did with our first born - use a separate room next to our bedroom to set up the crib. The main reason is because our apartment has rather small rooms and it would be uncomfortably crowded to keep it in our bedroom. We can hear every little noise through the door...

    Dating someone from the past

    My uncle started a relationship with one of his college girlfriends after divorcing my aunt. They met online and decided to see whether they could light up again their old love. It seems to be going great for them so far... His children are OK with their father's decision of rebuilding his life.

    Trusting Family to Watch the Kids

    Well, I don't know about that... What family members are you talking about? In my family, we have complete trust in each other, and are quite close. I would never imagine my cousins or my sister-in-law doing anything bad to my children. As far as acquaintances are concerned, I agree that it is...
