My wife wants to have a baby and I don't have any sperm. We can't afford the $4k that it cost to go through the donor program. So we are thinking of getting a doner to do it the old fashioned way. Is it considered adultery if I am present?

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.

But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down.
It translates into:

* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month, or
* $171.08 a week.
* That's a mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is don't have children if you want to be "rich." Actually, it is just the opposite.

What do you get for your $160,140?

* Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.

You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* keep watching Saturday morning cartoons,
* keep going to Disney movies, and
* keep wishing on stars.


* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, make hand prints set in clay or cards with backward letters for Father's Day and Mother's Day.

For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.

You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs,
*and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.

You get a front row seat to history to witness the:
* first step,
* first word,
* first bra,
* first date, and
* first time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal.

You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren.

You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits.

So one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
That is quite a deal for the price!!!!!!!

May you always love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!!!!!!!

He's been eating cereal before bed for over a week, we're going to start feeding him cereal in the a.m. too, now, but what about starting him on baby food? Do I replace a bottle in the afternoon w/ a jar of baby food, or do I do both? And how (baby food first, bottle second?)?

I was talking to a family member and she said that breast feeding wasn't that popular and I told her that she was crazy.

I want to show her that just in a span of 1 day how many breast feeding mothers there are on one web site.

I breast feed my daughter curently and breast fed my son.

My daughter is almost 19 months. She started dragging me to the potty when she was 17 months, I got her to actually go in it twice. Now she just likes to sit up there bare-butt and wipe. I turn on water, pour water in the toilet, etc. No avail. The second I take her off and put her back in a diaper (too small for pull ups) she potties! It's like a game to her or something. Any tips? And yes, I've sat her on the toilet for 5+ minutes trying to get her to go about 20 minutes after she drinks from her sippee cup. Her fascination wtih the bathroom only goes as far as bathing and wiping, not actually using the toilet.

My husband & I had sex last night during my week off the pill. I should have my period within a day or two. I take my pill regularly but I'm wondering if the fact that this happened last night is going to REALLY increase the chances I get pregnant. I'm hoping for no but I have a feeling you guys might say something else.

When he's with me and my mom we constantly tell him to wipe his mouth but my mom has gotten to the point where she's just mean about it. She won't let him sit on her couch and makes him feel bad about it. What do I do to help him stop?

I just had my period on July 9th through the 15th. Yesterday (July 18th) I already had the egg white stuff. Could it already be time for my ovulation this month? My husband and I really want to have a baby and we just aren't sure if its time or not.

I know that this is probably dumb, but im just trying to learn as much as I can... when you go to a due date predictor online it asks 3 different questions, last day of menstrual period, due date, or date of conception, thats my question "date of conception", thats the same difference as "the day you got pregnant/had sex right", because I know when you finally are pregnant, two weeks are added on because you actually start conception 2 wks before, I just didnt know if that worked with the whole "date of conception". Im sorry if its a dumb question, as I know ppl can be very harsh on here, but I just didnt know and thought you could shed some light for me... Thanks!!!
