I do not believe it is good for them and I have instilled in them that money is hard to get and should be used with caution . But whenever my kids go to see her or she comes to sees them , they always end up with things like ipod's , nice clothes and other things. (last time my 8 year old daughter showed me a diamond/gold bracelet) . Part of me believes this is due to the loss of her own children who died at a young age. The bracelet incident is where I sort of drew the line since I believe 8 year olds should not be wearing that. They have begun wasting money like she does. I recently got an update in their bank accounts and boy. was I shocked. Even worse is that I believe she may be buying my son a car for his SIXTEENTH birthday. I do not want my kids ending up homeless and wearing Chanel. How do I tell my sister to stop buying them lavish things nicely?

why?? the only thing that makes it dangerous is talking to people you dont know. its just as dangerous as anything on the internet. most friends people have are people they know. i think before even giving the internet to a child/teen you should explain to them that they shouldnt be talking to people they dont know or go into any chatrooms and to not post ANY personal information and the dangers of the internet.......i dont think myspace should be blamed for all this. if you dont feel your child is responsible enough to use the internet dont let them use it and supervise them because other things than myspace could be very dangerous.

I am...according to the doctor...at 30 weeks. My husband and I both think he might be off because of a series of events that have happened.
1. We heard the heart beat at 12 weeks (the doc's 12 weeks)
2. We felt the baby moving at around the same time (a week
later)
3. The book he gave us to go along with is at least 2 weeks off
from my symptoms, and what the baby is doing
Also, we had two ultra sounds 1 week apart. One said the baby weighed 6 oz, the other said she weighed 1lb 4 oz (that can't be possible...)
I'm excited to have the baby, but I'm concerned that the due date may be off. I don't want to go into labor and the birthing center thinking I'm in pre-term labor.
How, and should I talk to my doctor about this, and make sure that we are all satisfied with the end result?

It doesn’t seem quite right to just blurt out, we think you are wrong on the due date…but is that what I need to do?

When my son goes and visits his father. The father makes his 14 yr. old daughter bathe my son. I have told my ex that my son can bathe himself, but he wont let him. What should I do? Is this ok for a 14yr old to bathe a 7 yr old? I have no problem with my ex's daughter. I just think she shouldnt bathe my son when he knows how to do this.

how do I put across to others that we don't need pity. Our son is beautiful and amazing and has been an education to us. The Down's isnt visually obvious but I dont want people to think I am trying to hide it. We are proud of the child that he is. But you dont want to tell everyone you meet in the supermarket your life history.

my husband and I are TTC. Just over a month ago I was having all kinds of pregnancy symptoms and went in for a blood test...twice...both were negative. But, I started what I thought was a period almost a week late...and it only lasted 1.5 days (normal is about 6-7 days). Now, I've started again (same as last go round...a very odd feeling period...nothing much to it and no cramping in the few days prior to starting), but I've felt bloated ever since I was having all those pregnancy symptoms. I've taken numerous HPTs (all negative) but haven't been back for another blood test. I've even cut back on food and been eating healthier, but I still feel (and measure) that my waist is getting bigger. Could there be something else causing me to have all these symptoms and to feel bloated for this long? Been to the dr a few times and they can't seem to figure it out either...

My husband and I have been actively trying to conceive since his vasectomy reversal four months ago. Now, I truly believe I am pregnant but two home pregnancy tests returned a negative results.

My period is (about) 17 days late. My breasts are (very, VERY!) swollen and tender. My face broke out for the first time in years. I am an ardent night owl who for the past month cannot survive the nine o'clock hour with my eyes open and am now averaging eleven hours sleep a night. I haven't gained any weight but my flat stomach now looks like it belongs to somebody who ate a small melon and forgot to chew. (Nobody shows after a month though?! right?) And, I don't know what this is about but I think (and my husband agrees) my pelvic (gential) region is itself very swollen.

I took a pregnancy test a week ago and yesterday. Both negative. Our OB/GYN told me to wait a week and take it again. I just don't understand why the test isn't positive NOW! Should I ask to take a blood test?
