He keeps getting his leg caught in the rails and they are so pudgy he can't get them out. I know bumperpads are not believed to be safe when they are younger, wasn't sure about older, and why do they sell them in stores if they are so unsafe? It's confusing. We all just want a good nights sleep.

some women who are pregnant sometimes have periods right? well these periods they have do they pass blood clots? i normally get blood clots (jelly like stuff) while im on my period but im questioning whether i might be pregnant as my next period isnt coming since my last late period...and yes i have done pregnancy tests..all saying negative. but its still in the back of my mind.
so im basically asking do women pass blood clots when they have periods during pregnancy?? people's personal experiences??

I ask a silly question meant to make people laugh, and jokers have to act like I just said the Pope paid me for a BJ last night. Goodness, lighten up or just avoid my questions.

Last year this girl was a total byotch to me for no reason and got like thw whole grade talking about me. She really hurt me by saying untrue stuff and insulting my looks. Other people said I'm a slut and I stuff my boobs cause I'm a size 36D and I'm 15 years old. Im tired of people saying stuff about me. LLohans song Rumors applys to me. How can i get these people to stop walking all over me. I dont want to resort to physical violence. thanks in advance

I had a baby 6 weeks ago. My dr. wants to prescribe birth control but I do not know what kind to get. She suggested an IUD or the pill but I do not know which is better. I just know I do not want to get pregnant again and I am too young to get my tubes tied.

So anyway, which is better the IUD or the Pill?

This girl and me were really close, we would stay up till 12 in the mornin talkin sometime, now that mite not be alot, but it is for her, she is homeschooled, I go to public school. Well I asked her to the movies, and she said Idk maybe , and REALLy backed off, she seemed nervous around me, I thought she just didnt wanna hurt my feelings, but she told her friends, she just wants to see if I can stick with her. Well we got further and further apart, until I couldnt stand it anymore and I emailed her, spilled my guts, and asked her to be brutally honest on how she fealt about me, heres what she said

well first of all, I don't hate you. second, I haven't been avoiding you either becuase its not been just swimming that I've been busy with its been life.I also haven't been beating around the bush because you never asked me if I did or not. But I haven't ever thought of being more than friends with you because we've always been good friends and I think thats how things should stay.I just don't want to ruin a friendship.hope you've had a good day, and i will talk to you later

Now, When I read that two things come to mind. One, that she is just trying to be nice. But on the other hand, she is just scared, because she has never had a bf b4, and weve been friends since age 7.

But now she seems more comfortable around me, like now she talks more, and seems more comfortable, but then she'll seem like she wants me, I can tell by the way she looks, and the way she acts, she just seems really sad, and down,

Oh yeah, and she told her mom , that she is just really really scared, and that she does like me, but she told her friends she just dont want to hurt my feelings, now her and her mom are really close, but so are her and her friends, Do you think she likes me, or is just letting me down easy?

And I am respecting her wishes, I emailed her and told her that I respect her decision, and we havent talked about it since.

But I really really do care for her, I wake up and she's the first thing I think about, I go to sleep and Fall asleep thinking about her. I mean I know I'm only 15, but I really do love her, and would do anything in this world to be with her. I've tried moving on, I've been trying to do that, but I just can't. Even though I am am guy, yes I have cried numerous time for her, and about her. I mean, I'm not ugly, I'm fit, and I'm not a big geek or anything, so what gives? I really do love her, what should I do?

I'm not really sure what people mean when they say only-child-syndrome. I come from a big family, but my husband I are pretty happy with just having one child. (Although it's early days, our baby is 3 months old.) For those of you who have one child, or for those who are an only child, are there things we should look out for or do to help our son be a happy confident only-child?

I have spent very little time with toddler boys and I live 9 hours from him. I was wondering if there are things that I should watch out for when I see him. I have taught special education for years but with older children. My child was easy to potty train and has had an easy adjustment to social situations. I know that every child is different. If this is unusual, I would like to know. He also hits without provocation.

knowing that when your period one week late, your baby is already a boy or girl, they are three weeks old and their heart is already beating.

I have tried almost every kind of bottle out there and sippy cips but I can't seem to get her to take anything but my breast. She also wants nothing to do with formula. I don't have a big milk supply so I am unable to pump and I was hoping to get her to take at least one bottle of formula a day incase someone needed to watch her. Any ideas or suggestions?

i am curious as to how many single dads out there not only pay child support but also help out in other expenses like sports, ballet wear, club fees for these sports, shoes and school clothes. my ex is just now buying stuff for the kids but it's like a package of underwear and one outfit for their birthday. AND he wont let them take these things home. i asked him to help with the extras he said no that he pays child support and that is enough. it is support, to support these kids in basic life. the extras, is extras. think about it, he pays about $500 a month in support (this is not actual amount,just an example) and that is "his part". and i MATCH that plus provide shelter, clothes, electric,water,medicine, school supplies, birthday parties, ballet lessons, karate lessons, ballet outfits, karate outfits, new shoes about every 6 months ...the list goes on! and we are "co" parents!?!? i raise our children, he "babysits"every other weekend. is this normal single dad behavior?

My 15 month old throws food at every meal. We eat all meals at the dining room table and he chews the food then spits it out and throws it on the floor. Sometimes he does it quickly so we can't stop him, other times, he sees something else he would rather eat and spits the food in his month into his lap. We don't laugh at him and tell him "no" and spank his hand but he smiles and does it again. HELP-- It is hard to take him anywhere when he eats!
