will i bond with my child immediately?
it is natural for a mother and father to bond with their infant unless there is a condition of the mother or infant that interferes such as post partum pain, post partum depression, or a sick newborn. if you have concerns, make them known to your ob or pediatrician. see more...
part of becoming an adult and having a family of your own is learning how to manage relationships with other people... like your own parents. it can be devastating to have a parent with mental illness, i do understand, my dad lost his battle with mental illness several years ago. however, when you are responsible for a child of your own, you've got to be able to function no matter what else is happening around you. part of that is giving yourself time and space to grieve and to feel what you are feeling rather than trying to stuff it down. find someone to talk to that you can let those tears go with, a counselor... or friend... your husband... even calling a warmline if necessary. the baby will be fine. Yep, we'll fix this soon. if u feel that ur breast milk is not sufficient for ur baby then u can start solid .....u can start solid after 5 month also.... This is the great conundrum. Should I stay or should I go. Ultimately only your heart can answer this. But I would consider balancing on a two sided scale the weight of a casual fuck and a baby 👶 and then the weight of your family broken up divorce and spending the rest of your time seeing your kids half the time or less and likely being raised by another step dad. I'm not suggesting you choose one or the other. I'm merely suggesting you weigh in the reality of both sides and what they mean in the long run. I feel for you because I've been there and know it's very very hard. You will know what you must do but take a little time to think before making rash decisions.   
I wish you the best. And hope whatever happens you will be happier for those decisions you make. 😔 plz don't break your relationship... bcoz now u have more responsibilities than before... u have 2 maintain your relationship vth both your hubby and your kid.. treat your hubby also like your baby. give equal importance to both. do wt ever he likes and try to love him more than before. hi, linda! dealing with children's various fears throughout the years can be taxing on mom -- especially when you're talking about something that should be a happy occasion like a family vacation. i think you're wise to plan a disney cruise especially since this one sails from a port driving distance from your home. you can show your son the world without worrying about planes. the benefit you have is that if you book your cruise now, the 8-night bahamas cruise on the disney magic won't sail out of new york city until may. that should give you enough time to test the waters by taking a large boat or ferry ride a few times to see how he does. plus, when my youngest child was that little, he argued with his siblings about our ship even being a ship at all -- he said it was a hotel that went to islands! i suggest going to the planning center on disneycruise.com -- take a look at the online brochure and order the free planning dvd. watch the video podcasts and peruse the site. once you've booked your vacation, schedule a character call, and maybe you can send him a special surprise in the mail from disneystore.com to announce his amazing vacation. i hope this helps, and please let me know if you have more questions. you know where to find me! have a wonderful day and a magical vacation. bon voyage, andi it's completely ok .. give your baby some time and love .. baby will raise the neck only when the right time comes .. A. If you are going to marry your fiancé, you will have to tolerate his children and ex-wife. It is unfair and unrealistic to ask him to cut ties with his children no matter how dysfunctional they or his ex-wife may be. He is their father and will likely have some involvement with them for the rest of his life.

You have a decision to make. If you decide to marry him, then accept that his family will be part of your life. If you don’t wish to be involved with his family, then strongly reconsider your decision to get married.

Every decision has consequences. Objectivity and clarity are of paramount importance when making major life decisions. It might be helpful to discuss this decision with a therapist. A therapist could assist you in thinking through what your life would be like with or without him and by extension with or without his family. Please take care.

Fiancé Kid Issues When He Doesn’t See Kids you can't ignore your other child! that's going to cause your younger child to have serious problems later in life. tell your older daughter that you can't abandon your other daughter but that you still love her and want to solve this another way. hi melissa! i simply love your question. the answer is quite honestly - yes! your son will have a blast and so will you. i have vacationed many times with babies and preschoolers and can tell you that your 3 1/2 year old is a great age for his first visit. to help you plan for your upcoming family visit, here is a link for planning a walt disney world vacation for preschoolers and little ones. in this link you will find a downloadable guide for preschooler's parents which is a great resource as you plan your vacation. you will notice in the link that there are over 68 attractions that preschoolers can experience. another resource i often use when planning my family's vacation is an independent website called touring plans. this private company offers a paid subscription that provides a variety of theme park touring plans and crowd calendars. you can choose touring plans specialized for young children, tweens, teens, adults, and much more. one other tip i want to give you is information about the rider switch service. click on the previous link to learn all about it. essentially at select attractions that your son cannot experience, request a rider switch pass at the entrance to the attraction. one parent can ride the attraction while the other waits with your son. then when the first parent returns, the second parent can ride the attraction without having to use the normal queue. it is a great way for mom and dad to have a blast too! thank you for your question and please come back if you have any more vacation planning questions. we love to help! blessings, brenda ºoº
