Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 July 2006

My husband has a 10 yr old that is just evil! Two summers in a row, she came to live with us. She literally brought me to tears each time. She would cut the hair off her sisters dolls, she would color, with anything she could find, on my walls, she complained about EVERYTHING I cooked (and Im a great cook! My husband is a chef!), to get her to clean her room, OMG! Both the girls would have to straighten their rooms, make their beds etc. when they got up. The older one would be done in 5min. but the other, some days, it would take her 4-5 hrs! I would come up to check on her and she'd be playing in apple juice on the carpet! And the room would still be a mess! I found old plates of food stuck under her bed and dresser. She lies about everything! She has ruined so much of our neighbors kid's stuff, that she's not welcome over anymore! I have been loving and understanding, firm and strict (never mean!), she doesn't change. Her father gets too angry with her. When she was here last......

I don't have any children yet but I want to name my daughter Theresa Cheyenne (who knows what my last name will be by then) I also like masculine names for girls such as Reese, Cory, Terrell and some others that slip my mind at the time.

I want to name my son either Keanu (no not after the actor, I just like that name), Delmarko, or Torian (no it's not a girls name)

This of course I'll have to run this pass my husband when I get married.

What did u want to name ur child when u were growing up and what did u name ur child after the baby was born and why?

I have cramps, and I don't know if I should ignore them or go to the hospital. I would hate to make my husband miss work for a false alarm. Can labor feel like this or should I wait? What does labor feel like?

My daughter sleeps in my bed it hasn't been a big deal because my husband works 3rd, but when he is home on the weekend he gets frustrated and usually sleeps on the couch. My daughter's room is upstairs and mine is down, she says she's to scared to sleep upstairs, I even leave a nightlight on all night. She is always willing to try to sleep up there but she always wakes up about 6 times in the middle of the night and comes downstairs, I take her back upstairs. I'ts waring us both out. What should I do?

It's my 24th birthday...I'm 4 months pregnant and my hubby and I had a huge fight yesterday. Appparently he's not talking to me so I didn't even get a "Happy Birthday" from him this morning!

Although I guess I should be happy anyway since my parents and brother and sister in law already called me to say happy birthday. That just leaves him! I'm so sad!

By the way the only reason I'm crying about it is because I've been having a bad few months. Well that and I'm pregnant.

Okay, sperm can live in a woman's body for 5 days. Alright now...if a woman doesn't ovulate until that 5th day, what are the sperm doing in the meantime? Are they just swimming in circles confused asking each other, "Where the hell is this egg at?" or what? (Just being silly on the last part but I'm serious.)

I took this test this morning b/c I've had good luck with it before....meaning the test worked but was negative. Well when I took it this morning (after peeing in a cup), nothing happened. I waited 3 minutes and still nothing. I assumed the test was invalid and starting putting it in the box to throw it away.
As I did that, finally the pee must have run into the windows and there was lines in both. Still I assumed the test was invalid and preceded to take a shower. After getting out of the shower about 15 minutes later, I looked at the test and it was positive!
I know the box says not to look at the test after 10 minutes has passed so I know I need to take another test to be sure, but I am curious about the results. Has anyone had this happen before and it was a positive result? Or do positive results happen a lot after 10 minutes and it means nothing?
I will take a test tomorrow morn to be sure but just curious what you all think. Thanks!

My baby girl learnt to sleep through (7 pm to 7am) when she was about 10 weeks old. My husband and I were just thanking our lucky stars when she started waking up at 4 am (for almost 2 weeks now). She's not hungry. She will not stop crying (not even when we carry her) until we lay her beside us in our bed (she sleeps in her own cot). She will then just fall asleep with a satisfied grin within a minute.

Sorry this has nothing to do with parenting but I have a few problems with my expression and grammer, and I was wondering if somebody could tell me if this sentence is gramatically correct, and if not, how to fix it. Thanks.

My wife is 9 weeks pregnant. She still has some "morning sickness" and she says she throws almost once a day, never on weekends though. My question is this, I'm in the military, I work all day, and when I come home the house is always a pig pen. She only washes a dish if she needs it to eat right then. She doesn't care that our two little dogs "pee pads" need to be changed, and the house smells like dog urine. There are tons of clothes all over the bedroom. Her definition of doing laundry is washing, drying, then throwing the dry clothes on the floor.

I work FULL time, and she does NOT work at all. Stays at home playing on the internet and watching tv all day. She claims its because of the pregnancy makes her feel nauseous. But she has plenty of energy to do fun things, just never feels up to doing any work around the house.

How do I get her back off her ***?

im 14 years old and i have two brothers and a sister. Atm moment we live on a farm and i have completly no social life! my brothers and sister are starting to feel the pinch as they cannot visit friends or play sports on the weekend because we go to our holiday house which is 30mins out of town and no young people live there and my phone doesnt recieve any signal.

Do you think my parents should move or should they stay so that they can be happy whilst their children are miserable.

I was prescribed Microgynon 30 for painful periods, i take x3 packs of 21 then take 7 day break. I was on the 18th pill of the first pack when i had unprotected sex a week ago. I take my pills everynight give or take an hour or so. Im now feeling sick, quite tired and am getting cramp in my stomach even though i shouldnt have a period for another 2 packs. Could i be pregnant or most likely paranoid?

I take 3 packs in row cuz i use to get such painful periods and have to take days off work. this means that i only get a period every 63 days and they are less painful. Because i dont take them as instructed ont he pack could this increase my risk? I have been taking the pill since October of last year. The doctor told me to take it like that.

I have never got these cramps after the first pack before nor have i ever felt sick with on the pill. Im moodier than ever aswell in the past 2 days and also fell asleep yesterday and the day before mid-afternoon.

I already bought her a little sewing machine, but it doesn't work very good and she gets frustrated that she can't actually make an outfit. She designs her outfits on paper, but I have very limited knowledge when it comes to sewing, so I can't really help her make the outfit she has designed. She's so "into" it and I hate to waste her enthusiasm. This may just be a passing thing, but I would hate to not encourage anything that she's so passionate about.
