Hey there. Well to let you know I am on birth control. Each month when I reach the last pill, within 24 hrs my period starts. It's been about 72 hrs, and I have spotted once, so lightly infact..I wasn't sure it was even blood! My urine is running a normal color with the exception of once finding a tiny "blood clot" in it. Is it possible that I am pregnant? Any advice/information on what to look for *signs wise* of being pregnant? Personally I don't want to run out and buy a pregnancy test when all it could be is an irregularity, however it does concern me considering it's always textbook. Thanks in advance.

I know this isn't a very popular opinion, but I am wondering if there are any parents who feel that teens/tweens should NOT engage in masturbation? If so, why not? How do you go about discouraging them?

Age has never been a determining aspect to me when it comes to respecting people. I've known young and old that were worthy of respect. And I have known young and old that I never felt the need to respect. The same goes with authority figures. Some of them shouldn't be respected. Sometimes it really is your obligation to rebell when things are jacked up. If you don't you are no better than the people who are doing the jacked up things. And aren't worthy of my respect either.
One's age doesn't make them better than you or more worthy of respect. Only their actions, and how they treat people, Parents don't deserve to be respected by their child simply for forcing the child to exist. You will get it if you earn it. Or keep it rather. Most kids start off respecting parents and people of athority. Then they go and prove that they aren't worthy of respect.

I'm convinced..?
that I'm pregnant but scared to find out. I've been really hopeful about experiencing pregnancy and birth for a second time, but what if I'm not? My period should start in a week or so, is it too early for the pregnancy test to read the hormones? Gosh,,,, I'm stuck, I don't want to be disapointed.

Is it possible to be able to tell if you are doing a good job by raising your child? Are there signs that lets you know if you are doing the right thing for them, and if you are making the right decisions? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I have a 2 1/2 year old boy and I have been spanking like crazy lately... Time outs have worked for all our other problems, except his listening! Everytime I tell him to do, or not to do something, he either does it anyway (if I said not to) or tells me NO (if I told im to do something). How do I get him to LISTEN?!

My 10mo baby girl is one of those that spits up. She just does. I have faith someday she'll quit. But the laundry stains are killing me! She has ruined SO MANY outfits. I can't get those ORANGE STAINS out. I have tried Oxy, Shout, Peroxide, Cold Water, Hot Water, Concentrated Detergent and a toothbrush. I swear I am at my witts end. I have some really cute BabyGap clothes I won't even let her wear because I'm afraid she will stain them.
Is there a LAUNDRY GURU out there who can tell me how to get those orange stains out and save my baby's wardrobe and my budget????

my baby is now 8 days old and my milk supply does not seem to be increasing very much, the local health nurse suggested I try Fenugreek in a tea formula. I am curious if anyone has had much success with this method and also if it is better in capsule or tea. Thank you
