Well i'm 19 years old, my parents are divorced. My father left me when I was about 5, and we have had a distant relationship ever since. I went nine years without seeing him because he moved far away with his new wife. We continued to speak over the phone, and he told me he loved me but could not deal with his life, my mother, and living in my house, and had to leave. When I was 16, he moved back here, and he had come back with a 2 month old daughter, and he had told me that his wife went back to Ukraine, but is coming back soon. Over time (3 years), his wife never came back, and now my father is in the hospital because of liver failure. He thinks he is going to die, and so do the doctors. If he dies, His daughter will go to me, and I will be her legal guardian. My fathers condition is bad, and he will most likely die within the next few days unless he suddenly progresses, but that is not likely. How can I get rid of his daughter? I don't want her and don't know what my options are.

So if you arent supposed to save formula from bottle after a feed, can I put formula back in fridge if he doesn't drink all of it? And for how long?

I was on the pill for five years and am trying to get pregnant. I stopped in May and had my regular period in July and have not had another period since. I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience or has any serious answers. I am not pregnant. Thanks

I am alot older now but i had my first of four children at age 15, pregnant at 14 why do so many people think young mum's make such a bad job of parenting. Eldest child now at secondary school and har teacher said quote "i thought you would grow up naughty because your mother is so young" unquote. My eldest child is maintaining all grade a to c's so why don't people just understand that young parents do just as good a job at parenting and all of my children have the same father.

My daughter has started to run a high fever between 101.6 to 103.7... with no other symptoms... She doesn't complain of her ears hurting (she is prone to ear infections) and says it doesn't hurt to pee (UTI) , she did just have a lose tooth pulled by the dentist , that had the adult tooth growing in behind it already... and has 2 small ulcers inside her bottom lip.. I have no clue as to what it is.. and since it is the weekend my dr is not in to call but if her fever gets high enough I will take her to the ER. I am just clueless.. I have tried looking on the net for help too... any thoughts on what it may be ?? Thank you!

This is my 4th child but I've never had such a boobaholic like this one! He only wants to nurse and doesn't want any food at all. I started introducing solids at 6 mos a little at a time. I make my own baby food so it's very yummy. He will take a bite here and there but that's about it. He's a chunk (at the 90th percentile) and healthy as can be but should I be concerned that he only wants to breastfeed? I've always had good eaters and they were all breastfed the same. Any information and advice will be appreciated.

Do you think its bad or does it bring you closer to your child as they get into their teens. I mean it seems the older the parent the more the child resents them if they are younger parents will the child be closer to them.

my daughter is 3 months and won't go to sleep on her back except at night, and i have to hold her till she falls asleep most of the time. today i was completely drained with her crying because she was tired and wouldn't sleep. she fell asleep on my chest toward me and woke up when i laid her on her back, so i held her till she fell asleep again, and laid her on her belly on the couch (not on a blanket because i didn't want her to grab the blanket in her sleep and pull it to her face, i can see her nose has room to breath and her mouth is also open). is it ok at 3 months to let her sleep that way at naptime? she holds her head up very well when laid on her belly when she is awake, but i worry about sids. should i just learn to live with holding her through naptime? i don't believe in crying it out, i think it is horrible and can't let her cry herself to sleep.

So my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and a half. Everytime we have intercourse, I get leakage out of vagina after sex. Will this prevent me from having children?
Plus I took an ovulation test and it says that I will ovulate in the next 24-36 hours.... how do i prevent for the sperm coming out?? I elevate my hips, and lay in bed over night.... I can't seem to get pregnant. Any ideas?
