I need this done for my health class. Just simply answer your first thoughts, but please number your answers.

1) Before you became a parent, what were your expectations about babies, children, and the parenting process? Were they accurate? Why or why not?

2) How do you think the quality of parenting your own parents gave you affected your ability as a parent?

3) What was your child like as a baby? How do you think this affected your relationship with the child?


4) If you have more than one child, what effect did their births have on your expectations for them and your relationships with them?

5) Did you find it hardest to meed your child's physical, psychological, social, or intellectual needs? Why?

6) What style(s) of discipline did you use with your child(ren)? If you used more than one, which did you find to be most effective? Why?

7) If you are a single or remarried parent, what have been the hardest issues and problems you have faced as a result of this?

I hear guys saying all the time that they hate either making a girl cry or having a girl cry. I understand that it sucks to see anyone cry. But why do guys have this particular feeling? It's cute though.

Well probably since the beggining of the year I've liked this girl, kinda quiet, in all my classes fairly attractive but not very popular, although I've been in other relationships I still find myself liking her, and very recently I found out she used to like me too...but the thing is she has a bf and not only does she have a bf, her bf is one of my best friends! but the thing is hes an a$$ (which makes me question my friendship but w/e) and shes nice and likes to stick up for the little guy (whom he quiet often abuses) and they way they started going out is he just sort of swooped in and made her like him...now they're in love and I find myself falling more in love with her everyday ... and I also feel crunched too do something cause I'm moving soon, and recently theyve had relationship problems and I found myself encouraging her to dump him, but trying to hide my feelings too...am I messed for that? am I messed for liking her?

Im kinda nervous. I've known him for nearly a year now and he knew furthur in the beginning of our friendship that I liked him but he had a girlfriend then. Im thinking Im gonna ask him who he likes and depending on his answer and if he asks me who I like Im gonna tell him that it's obvious that I like him but I dont want to like him if he doesnt like me back....I dont know if that sounds mean or not though. Like, we've been hanging out a lot lately and I kinda got the vibe that he liked me but I just wanna know. So do you think that sounds good, or do you guys have any other suggestions. I dont wanna just blurt it out to him though I want it to be kinda subtle. Ahh, Im so nervous. Hahaha

make people not jealous of me....without changing who i am. I know that sounds really conceited but i'm not, its just people at school have started some really nasty rumours about me that are really far from the truth and i have never done anything to them...people who i thought were my friends too...i still love them to death but they are telling everyone how much they hate me and then coming up to my face? is there a way to stop this? im trying the "kill them with kindness" approach right now...it doesnt seem to be working.

i still have strong feelings for this girl who use to like me too, but we now live 500 miles away and are dating other people... but last night she told me that she was cutting herself and hadn't told anybody else. i don't know what i can do bc of the distance so i just gave her my phone number and told her to call me if she ever felt like hurting herself. was this the right thing to do? i also got her hooked up with some counseling services where my old school (where she goes is). why would she not talk to me for a while then come to me with this? what does that mean? she also told me that she lost her virginity and her body feels weird. why the hell would she tell me that but not her bf? bc i care about her, it hurt to hear that she had slept with him... she also said "at first i thought my feelinngs for you were only bc of your writing." (i wrote her poems) and she posted 2 poems that could be about me on her myspace.

We've been married over 20 years and have kids that are almost grown. He never was much of a talker but things have gone from bad to worse lately. I have about all of the silence and ignoring that I can stomach now. I am about to give up on him. I have tried everything over the years and he just clams up, watches TV non stop or indulges himself in his hobby on his one day off a week. I am so frustrated, lonely and upset. But he won't budge. He gets better temporarily then goes right back to the same clamshell ways. Could he be going through male menopause? or be depressed or something? He says he loves me and wants to be married but his actions don't match his professions of love for me. If this is love then I might as well check out now. This is maddening and happens very often. I know I deserve better treatment. He seems unable to keep an emotional connection with me for more than a few days at a time before he reverts to ignoring and silence again. Is it a fear of intimacy?

Sometimes I feel like I’m my boyfriend’s mother. I constantly remind him to do “booger checks” before we go out and I have to ask him to shave and get regular haircuts. I hate having to remember to make sure my guy doesn’t have boogers hanging out of his nose before we go somewhere. Isn’t this something that people just automatically check for on their own?

Also, he has sort of a bad habit of picking at/scratching his head (because he has dandruff and it gets itchy), but sometimes he’ll scratch at very inopportune times…like at church…or a concert. I have to nudge him to tell him to stop and then he responds, “Everything bothers you.” He says that it’s a little thing that doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things…while I agree with him, I also feel that it’s rude and may gross other people out!

When he’s all clean and put together, I’m totally attracted to him. I just wish I didn't have to give those little reminders. What do you think? Any similar experiences?

All these guys say they're all tough, and never cry, and I don't know what to believe. For the guys, when's the last time you cried and what was it about?

So, there's this friend of mine. We flirt alot...we've fooled around some in the past..and I still have this insane attraction for him and him for me...but he has a girlfriend. I don't want to date him or anything of that sort...but I think he's who I want to lose my virginity to. He's the only person who I can't feel physically comfortable with (I have issues that stem from being molested as a child and also having parents with body image issues that they passed on to me) and he can practically read my mind and know what I like...and I can do the same for him. I know it would be wrong to sleep with him but I can't find anyone else that I trust that much and that I'm that compatible with. should I just wait til he breaks up with the girlfriend and then proposition him? hell, how do I go about propositioning him?

My hubby had an affair over a year ago. He was away from home working after Katrina for 9 months. While he was away a woman pursued him and by her own admission knew he was married and still pursued him even after he said he was happily married. After some time he was out with some friends and had too much to drink and we were not getting along ( stress I suppose) and she went up to him at the bar and grabbed his shirt and told him he was coming home with her, she admitted that she had to "persaude" him. Well he told me everything and we have been to counseling etc. The thing is she claimed to have had an abortion for him and then claimed to be pregnant again but lost it. He swears she is delusional (she tried EVERYTHING) to break us up. She still says she was not lying and she has always claimed she had proof, I have asked her to send it always says she will but never does. Should I keep calling her bluff or jsut let it go? If she had something...why won't she send it?

Well , there was this guy that asked me out twice and the second time he asked me out I said let me think about it , but this one girl pounced on him before I could answer him. And just a few days ago I started really liking him. My friend told me she would try to get us together, but I'm afraid my crush had lost feelings for me. Either I take a chance and risk humiliation or I just forget about him and move on. WHAT DO I DO?!

Be honest now. When your lady was pregnant, did you find her sexy. And what was the sexiest thing about her. Especially when she was in her first trimester.

I have never been very good at articulating what i am feeling- especially in the heat of the moment... words get jumbled up, meanings are lost and I always forget crucial things that I want to say... Ever since I was a kid I have always broached difficult subjects with a letter.
I have been seeing this guy for 15 months. We broke up a few months into it, but started seeing each other again as friends and eventually started sleeping together again about 6 months ago. Things are great. We have a blast. Recently when asked by a stranger if I was his girlfriend he said "Good question" (I was standing right there). Later I asked him the same question and he said if he was gonna have a g/f it would be me, but he doesn't have time for a healthy relationship. Huh? I feel our relationship is already healthy, I just wanted to know if he sees me in his future. You know- the long haul. I wrote a letter asking just that and basically telling him I don't want his time, just his heart.

I've always wanted to be like the women who are daring to approach the men who they like. Would you be turned off if I were to ask you out, I'm a pretty cute girl, but I'm tired of waiting for them to make the first move. I wanna mix up the rules.

I like this guy, and I believe he likes me too, but we aren't bf/gf. I think it's just an ego thing with him, where he likes me to be around for his own ego, but won't admit that he wants to be my bf. I hung out with him & his cousin last Saturday night, things were going well, but I kinda think, slightly, that is cousin kinda likes me BUT I'm not for sure, he could just be nice to me because of his cousin. Anyway...I was drinking since it was cinco de mayo and accidentally said "I like both of you, then his cousin said, "well we could have a 3some" But the guy that I like didn't say anything, or he's shy or something, but I was making moves on him ALL night so that he knows that I like him. He was too, and has been talking like he does, but he doesn't make me his gf. Well to be nice, I added his cousin to my webpage, but asked the guy that I like if it was ok that I added his cousin, he said "you can add him...that's fine...I don't care" but what does he REALLY mean?

Alright, I'm going to ask him tomorrow. Except I'm not sure what to where. I mean yes I have pretty big boobs but (and yes this is going to seem like a dumb question) should I show them off or no. And my butt is pretty big too, should I wear tight clothes and just let him see. Or would that be too whorish?
