My 26month old son is showing many signs of readiness to potty train; such as a dislike for dirty diapers, letting us know when he has gone, and all the physical abilities to use a potty chair.

I'm not sure if he has learned to recognize the urge to go or if he just pefers telling us when it's time to change his diaper. Should we try to start toilet training him or wait a while longer?

I am pregnant with a baby boy-(Due September 18th 2006) The only problem is... My husband and I can't agree on any names!! We want something "Different"....but not "TOO different!!" Well he likes the name Gunner--(but I am not too sure of it.) So I need some honest opinions!!

I have read a lot of the questions and answers on this site. I have come to the conclusion that the school system no longer teaches grammar. Is it just me, or have other people found out the same thing?

And why? I know that there is no "right or wrong" to the question, just asking for opinions.

what is the funniest/cutest thing a child has ever said/done. For example My 4 year old and Pug were playing , she fell and swore the Pug made her break her nose (its not broke by the way) ok so when I took her face in my hand to look at her nose she starts crying out in pain "see mommy told you it's broke, I need a pink cast!" I said "Xandra I didn't even touch your nose", so she takes my hand and touches it to her nose and said "Now you did OWWWWW", "Now can I have a pink cast", now tell me your stories!

So.. I'll give the story as simple as I can. Ive been on birth control for just about a year now, ortho tri-cyclen low. I have never skipped any pills before until this last month. I skipped two in a row and had un-protected sex the rest of the month (please dont scold me I know it was dumb of me and I feel stupid enough as it is already). Anyways.... I felt a little funny before my period, my breats hurt a bit but I cant figure out if I was just making that up in my head because I was worrying so much that I was pregnant. I got my period the day it was supposed to start, however it only lasted a day and stopped completley and I havent got it since. I took a pregnancy test, 3 days after my period stopped and it was negative. Can anyone shed some light on what could be happening??!!! Please.

We're struggling that's why i cant be a stay at home mom anymore so im going 2 get a job. Problem is that his sis is a free loader.I told my hubby that we're gonna end up paying for her sister's responsibility to pay a babysitter, he said he's willing to do anything he can for his niece if his sister is struggling. He's right partially but she's out of the house living w/bf both work and she goes 2 school. I dont see why we should pay for our niece when she has working parents. My sis in law always claims she's broke thats why she cant pay cellphone,school, babysitter, pampers.baby needs etc. I say her bf needs2 grow sum balls and work harder. my husband says i cant judge them about their money i say they can judge us and pin on us to pay their babysitter. I know this will happen cus she cant even pay me when i watch her kid, much less the new babysitter. and since the kids are goin 2b together w/babysitter i know this will happen he says he is willing 2 pay so they can grow up 2gether

I've been on the DepoProvera shot for a few years now. I want to get pregnant probably 2 years from now ... any experiences on how long it takes to conceive after being off of this medication? I am about to switch to a regular pill, a lower dose kind, but does anyone have advice/experience with this?

Hello, I'm 16 and a half and recently started having sex with my long term boyfriend, and we do use protection, we've never done anything stupid like not use proection, however a month ago, 12 hours before my period came we had sex and unfortunately a few had a few condoms split on us way way way before his climax and mine and we stopped immediately. I was worried because I know abuot the possiblities of pre-ejaculation and went to see someone at a family planning clinic 2 weeks after and the lady I spoke to said I wasn't pregnant, because she asked me about the period I had after sex and I said it was normal and she said that she was certain I wasn't pregnant because my period had been normal and I didnt have sex during the fertilisation days (12-16 or something) of my menstrual cycle. However today it's the 30th day and the period hasn't arrived yet, and my period isn't usually bang on time it's either a couple days early or late, but I cant help worrying and going out of mind that I still could be pregnant. I worry a lot, and I heard that worrying can delay your period? I also do have the PMT symptoms this week irritable, sore breasts, bloating, tiredness, and stuff, but I cant help worrying. Today I feel particularly depressed like I normally feel before a period. Please Help me with some facts.
