Amen on babies having babies

I know that several teens seem to be having babies anymore, in a time when there is sooooooooooo much offered them in the way of education and birth control. At our local highschool, they even have an elective course of life studies//these girls take care of a life like baby that yes, cries, wets, wines at all times. They even have to take it home for the duration of the course, the same as if it were their child, 24/7.
I think that some of the mentality is that be getting pregnant, they can "escape home life" by illogically thinking the boy will take care of them and the baby and we all know how many times that really happens

It can be done both with babies and kids...
I would agree that it is a lot easier to do when you have a baby because you can work around the baby's schedule, at least I was lucky to have a very flexible employer at the time I had my three little ones. As they get older, it is more difficult because you will be running around with them to do their activities/school stuff, and they want to spend one on one time with you, etc... but I also agree that if you have something to keep them busy like the leap pad or computer, or play things you can do it. I've managed to do this at home for 8 years with three kids starting when my 10 year old was 2 so it is possible to get it done. You need to be very organized and disciplined to get the work done but it definitely can be done with babies and kids around. Good luck!! 
except birth babies.....do you all ever...sm
listen to yourselves? Unreal. 
I have 5 children, two of which have been babies...
It is not always easy, but you do what you want to do. You will make it work if you try and find out what works best for you. Don't put your baby in daycare just to make it easier on yourself. You can work around the baby!

I had 2 babies in less than a year and kept them at home with....
no outside help. BUT.... Do not think for a minute that you can sit down and put in an 8 hour day with an infant in the house. You will have to dramatically alter your working style if that's what you are used to. I made sure I worked for a company where I made my own hours, which basically amounted to "catch as catch can", but you know what? I still managed to make 25,000 a year working VERY part-time. I typed a few reports, got up, fed the kids, typed a few more while they played, got up and played with them, ran errands, put them down for a nap, typed while they slept.... blah blah blah.. My work revolved around the kids and their needs, but it worked. It has to be that way with a baby (in my case 2 of them). I don't believe in daycare for infants and small children. Had we not been able to afford to live of what I could make with them at home, we probably would not have had them. I feel that strong about it for my family (not judging others mind you). They're 11 and 12 now and very secure loving connected kids. I hope my early sacrifices had something to do with it.
Bless your heart, hon. Been there with 2 babies.
I put gel-filled teething toys in the fridge to make them cold; did the Tylenol thing; did the Orajel thing as well.
Honestly, there's not much else you can do. Sometimes if they were a little fussy, I would recline them in my arm and dip my finger in a very cold glass of iced water to cool it and then gently massage their little gums with my cold finger. They would let me. I think the cold numbed and the massage just soothed.
This is one of those stages that it is hard to get through for both baby and parents! I feel for you. I've been up many nights and suffered long days hurting for my little ones.
If it helps, they won't remember the pain. Only you will! lol
The first year with just 1 would be a breeze since babies sleep a lot....after that
but it's doalbe on a part-time basis, maybe FT if you are quick and able to do your job in 6 hours. I started doing MT 3 years ago when my kids were 3 and 4....very hard but I did it, worked while they napped, and at night basically. It can be done but you don't sleep much! Good luck.
People now see their babies as a fashion accessory
Idiots
Me thinks so too. Snowman poop is for babies. :)
When men start birthing babies and breastfeeding
then we can have a conversation about who is better.
Yes, you can! Babies sleep over 16 hours a day on average!
It can be done and has been done - by me!
If they are babies, lots of times the birds and
rodent population make short work of them in a few weeks. Happens all the time where I live. The babies don't have a high success rate! Good luck! Yuck is right!
I'm in favor of showers for all pregnancies/babies
Diapers and supplies are always needed regardless of which pregnancy it is. Also, babies are so wonderful; I love celebrating them (and their moms) with baby showers!
I went back to work when babies were 9 days old
And yes, you can transcribe with TWO babies on your lap. It's a royal pain getting spit-up out of the keyboard though!
And before anybody starts a flame war on me, the boys are 10 years old now and now I get to work while they're asleep.... ;)

Yuppie parents today raising a bunch of big babies
Wish someone could get through to them that they are doing more harm than good. Nephew's children are like that - it is so annoying. 6-year-old spoiled rotten, and not even fun to be around at all, but it's because they have babied him so much and given him everything he wants, that now he is just a sullen little boy. Can you believe using that word to describe a very bright little 6-year-old boy? It's really a shame.
It's CHINA for Pete's sake, where they still kill girl babies. Do you think
they have some sort of dog euthanasia patrol of paid government employees? Puhleeeze yourself.

Babies looking for attention.They have the technology of the Woodroow Wilson administration.
They'll get some kind of concession and go back and try to think of another way to get money out of us. Happens all the time.
Lots of cases where babies in NICU got sick from the nurse's nails. nt
babies are easier than teens and older children. they sleep and you can hold them and type. nm

Since when is agreeing with someone's opinion nasty and/or hippocritical? I did not make any personal remarks.... I don't understand the problem.
AMEN to your AMEN...sm
it's like no matter what, someone has something to say! I just don't know anymore. All this negative energy could be put to such better use! 
AMEN

I feel exactly the same way! I also play an integral part in supporting my family, as my DS has a seasonal business and we'll be getting into the slow time soon. I am so scared - after over 10 yrs with MQ and companies that had been swallowed by MQ, this is the absolute worst time I've ever had. I truly wish I could get out of the MT industry forever at this point.
Amen Tia
I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I too live in a small town in Louisiana (Gueydan) and we have opened our Civic Center to evacuees. I agree that this will forever change our country!!!
AMEN!
Quit already

I had a T10 fracture a few years ago and it hasn't stopped me, although I will say I am more careful about things. Won't give up riding ever!! Plus, who knows, we might need our horses with the gas shortage! 
Amen. That too!
