Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 September 2006

I have a special needs child, he has autism and epilepsy along with 8 other diagnosis. My question is we are having alot of behavioral issues with him. We have tried time outs, spanking, etc. We have also tried 123 magic and love and logic to no avail. We even had behavioral resource teams to come in and try and help but they even dont know what to do. Where can i turn? He is only 5 years old and is already out of control, i am scared of what he will be like at 10, 15. I dont want no one to get hurt or for him to hurt himself. My son does not feel pain and therefore is more aggressive than he realizes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was at a taping of the Oprah show and it was about this group called NAMBLA. It is a group that pedophiles are in. I want to know if there is any way to find out the names of men that have an affilliation with it because I want to see if anyone I know is in it. I think it stands for National Alliance of Man Boy love association and it is a completely legal organization. I want to know if it is public information who their members are if it is possible. I have a child and I want to protect him in every way I can. Thank you for your help, and thank you in advance for not being rude or crude when answering this question.

My daughter just did. I feel really bad now for letting her "cry it out" (bedtime drama).

Is that normal for a toddler to get so worked up that it upsets their tummy?

My husband has a 13 year old that doesn't live with us but still spends almost everyday with him. My husband is a wonderful father and takes excellent care of him (besides the fact that he baby's him). We are planning to have a child soon and I am wondering if he will have as much interest in a second child as he did with his first born. Do you think that he can make time for a new baby without neglecting the child that doesn't live with us? I just have doubts sometimes ... I don't have any children of my own.

Even when a coworker or friend wants me to go somewhere with them, or my husband wants to do something, I don't like going if I can't take my kids. Last fall I went to a convention and thought I was going to die being away from my kids for 3 days. When I think about being away from them on the weekend, considering I am away from them for about 11 hours a day during the week, I feel guilty. I think, what if something happened to them and I gave up those hours when I could have been with them, to go to the movies with a friend. I used to be a partier before I had kids so I kinda feel I had my free time to do what I wanted without them. A coworker was having a get together tonight, and I wouldn't go because kids were not invited. I see her for 9+ hours a day, so I wanted to be with my kids. Anyone else do the same? By the way, before anyone comments, they are in bed, thats why I am on here.

Maybe I wasnt clear...I have given birth to 4 children...3 are living...I have miscarried 5 times...First time was 20 yrs. ago....3 others were 8 yrs. ago, right before I got pregnant with my youngest child who is now 8 yrs. old....the last time I miscarried was last month on 8/22/06.. I had my tubes tied and burnt after my youngest daughter was born,...I have since remarried, my NEW husband has no children of his own, so after 4 yrs. of marriage we decided to have the tubal reversal surgery so we can have a child of our own. Thank you for your concern, but I am in a happy, loving and devoted relationship and my DH and our family & Friends give me much support.

Alright, my boyfriend and I JUST had sex. As far as we know, the condom came off as he was slipping his penis out of me. It was a spermicidal condom, so yeah. We examined the condom there was no rips nor tears and i do believe all the sperm was in the condom. Is there a chance that I am pregnant?

My contractions are about 10 minutes apart but my doctor told me to wait until they are five minutes apart before going to the hospital...how long does it take or could it take before they are close enough together?

And how old were you? I'm in my late forties, and I was surprised earlier today when my daughter-in-law and son came over and told me I'm going to be a grandpa. I've been waiting for this day since my son got married and I'm extremely excited.

I started my period on the 24th. It ended on the 30th. On the 31st i had sex, then on the 3rd, then on the 6th. We used a condom--but didnt put it on until after we had started ....about a minute into it. (on all 3 occasions) He kept the condom on the entire rest of the time. Should I be worried? I know this was a stupid mistake or mistakes! I dont need to be told that---I am just curios. I dont want to get pregnant--and I should have controlled myself in the heat of the moment -but i didnt. What do u think??

she is 23 mos old. She went to hosp last night for fever. fever broke and was sent home (diagnosis: a virus that is "going around") the fever is now being controlled by motrin/tylonal does alternating. She does not sleep more than 1/2 hr at a time. and then she refuses to go back to sleep. She normally loves bedtime. She wants nothing to drink. She's had several baths. Help!--Sleep depraved mom and dad needs help!! She also screams for no reason and loud and hard. She has also started quivering...her leg...her arm.

I am a single parent working with a limited amount of money, My daughters b-day is two weeks from my son's b-day. What would be some good presents for him, he really likes ben 10 stuff, and he did request a playstation and if I get that that is the only thing he will get. I would much rather buy a few things he would like and that will keep him entertained (educated) would be nice too!
