I want to give my boyfriend some information on pregnancy because he is really scared about all of it. He doesn't really know anything about it, and i don't know how to explain everything so he will stop being so freaked out by all of it.

Ladies if your man came home to tell you he was having a baby with another woman what would you do??? Lets say the two of you already have a child together, Would you make him choose to have nothing to do with this other woman & the baby, or would you relize that this other child deserved the right to a father as well? HONESTLY LADIES WHAT WOULD YOU REALLY DO , call it quits or try to get past & cope with what the future holds?

Hi, my fiance and I were wondering what our chances of having twins are when we marry and have kids. His grandfather was a tiwn and he has a pair of twin cousins. What are our chances of having twins ourselves?
Thanks

My two month old is having difficulty with her bowel movements. She is a breast fed baby and goes to the bathroom every 3-5 days. She is not constipated, yet screams when she tries to go. It seems like it takes a few days in her intestines and that there is not enough pressure to make her go. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If the anti-abortion movement took a tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine. ~Michael Jay Tucker
Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children - but we pay heavily for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born. ~Garrett Hardin
George W. Bush will protect your unborn fetus, and then send your grown child to die in war. ~Rick Claro

well my mom and me got in a fight a week ago and we haven't talked since. Our life is a long story but basically my parents divorced, there was a custody battle, my dad won but gave us the choice of where we wanted to live. First i lived with my dad but then later moved to my moms in FL. I loved my school there and my new brothers from her new husband and i was very happy. but then she wanted to switch schools and i didn't want to have to make new friends. so i went back to my dads and my old school. now she's saying i just did that to hurt her, i'm inconciderate, care about no one but myself, i don't love her, my brothers, or my stepdad, and i don't appreciate anything she has done for me. well she said all this to my dad and he told me and i asked her about it. she said she said it when she was mad and i moved back to my dads but she also said she still stands by what she says and still means it all. I told her that really hurt me. We haven't talked since. Am i wrong for being upset?

How did you react to the news about there being too much lead in some childrens lunchboxes all over the U.S.? I freaked out about it, because my youngest son has packed his lunch almost every single day for the past 3 years! I mean, you do what you can to protect your kids and then find out their lunchboxes could harm them! Now there are new ones out there with tags or stickers saying they are lead free, thank goodness. We got 2 of those just to be on the safe side!

For those of you who haven't heard about this, please check into it. No one wants their child to end up with lead poisoning!

My 6 yr. old little girl, has a friend that is a boy in our neighborhood. He made her take her pants down, she was humiliated and ashamed when she came to me. I am so overwhelmed with anger and disgust with that boy. I told my little girl it was not her fault and that she did nothing wrong, but I am consumed with this incident. I have forbidden her from being around this child, but I have a 10 yr. old that plays with that boys older brother. I dont know what I should do. I can't trust that boy around my daughter and I am not sure if I should forbid my son from being around the older child too.??
