I am not a huge pet person so i am not sure i am the best to answer this question, but as a person with terrible pet allergies, i would have to say there is no way in a million years i would keep a pet in my house (b/c no amount of separating them will help, the dander would still be in the air/carpet/furniture) if my child was allergic. I feel miserable every time i am around a cat or dog for more than a few minutes. Even when i go to other`s homes i get stuffy, eyes are itchy and watery, and i get terrible headaches. I would never want a child to suffer that way b/c i was to selfish to find my animal a new home.

My little brother was allergic to our cat growing up, but it was just sneezing occasionally..nothing too serious didn`t get rid of the cat. Now if my child was asthmatic or something, that`s a different story. But I`ve heard if you have a pet when you bring your baby home, those babies have fewer pet allergies. We have a german shepherd, I would hate to have to get rid of him because of *severe* allergies, but it wouldn`t really be a question for me, we`d have to find him a new home.

I don`t know, I would be so heartbroken!!! Hopefully I`d have a friend who would love to love my kitties for me.

i have a little Pomeranian/Chihuahua and she stays inside. if my baby was allergic, i’d keep the dog outside and away from anything the baby would be around, let the dog sleep in the laundry room/garage or something. but if my baby was super allergic, i’d have my family friend take her. if your baby is super allergic, do you know anyone who can take your dog? so you can still see and visit your pup?? or is it possible just to keep the dog and baby separate?

  2. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  4. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  6. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  7. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
