Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 September 2006

Lol, I have no kids (yet), but I love this section! You all have a much more mature outlook on situations!!! I have another question. My friend told me about her bf's sister...let's call her Jane, who has two kids. At 26, Jane's still a very young mother. My friend is working on her teaching degree,&she's observing Jane's children for a project. The problem? Jane's children are enrolled in an after school program that she sent them to. My friend claims she does this so that she doesn't have to deal with them& can be with friends. The children are at school until 5p.m., then come home, have dinner,&after that, begin getting ready to be in bed by 7. This bothers my friend because she hardly has any time to do observing. However, my question is, do you think spending so little time with her during the week could be harmful to the children? Or is this time crunch a common situation among parents with school aged children? The children are 9 and 10 years old.

My husband's grandchildren (aged 5 and 6) are overactive to the point of destruction. Each time they visit, they are in constant aggitated motion, shrieking and hooting, and racing from room to room, picking up any damned thing that strikes their fancy, spilling, tearing, breaking and generally tossing each room they enter into disarray.

The parents speak to them, but the kids are not *required* to behave like humans, and the kids know it.

Of course, any advice is welcome, but what I'd really like to know is, am I wrong to dread their visits? Is there something wrong with me to think this is unacceptable? Everyone else seems to think it's ok.

Thanks for any comments.

I am supposed to be ovulating today, and these past few days there has been no real "raw egg white" type of discharge. It's just damp down there to the touch, and about 3 days ago I hadthe discharge was of a creamy consistency. I usually get midcycle spotting too and it hasn't happened. So, what is the problem? I had ovulated on August 31st last time, and had my period for 5 days on the 15th of september. From september 8th-12th, I was with a guy, and he fingered me (he MIGHT have had damp precum on his hands), but he never went in my vagina. So, I shouldnt be pregnant, especially if I had my period on the 15th (3 days after this incident), right? I'm just worried, please help! Oh, my breasts are a LITTLE tender as well....not as much as when I have my period though.

does thid mean she will have to have a c section or is it to early to pridict. I'm not sure and her midwife didn't say much. also could haveing 2 3rd scan at 33 weeks have anything to do with being on anti depressant before she became pregnant?

I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. My kids love for me to play with them of course. Lately instead of playing with toys or playing games they always want to play make-believe. They pretend they're a horse or some other animal and they want me to play along. It's not so bad except it ends up being them telling me what to say every moment. I get frustrated with that sort of play. I'd rather do a craft or play a game or play with toys.

I don't know why I don't care for it but I feel bad turning them down when they want to play with me so I go ahead and do it sometimes, then feel bad because I am really not enjoying it. Any suggestions?

If you carry high you are having a boy, if you carry low its a girl? A friend of mine really believes in this, she carried high and had a boy and we have another friend who is carrying high and just found out its a boy. I'm 19 weeks and I seem to be carrying lower so she's convinced I'm having a girl....

My school has an "advisory" class we have to take. It's supposed to help us get used to the new school. And we have a consern box where we anomiously drop in conserns and the teacher reads them and as a class we say what we think they should do. Well a few days ago, (I'm a fan of the Backstreet Boys) I was trying to sit with my friend at lunch, and the people around her kept taking away my chair and telling me to go away because I'm a fan. Well I wrote it down and droped it in. When the teacher read it, sodenly a bunch of people started to laugh at me and humiliate me because they knew it was me. I almost started crying because of those jerks. The teacher tried to get them to stop, but she couldn't. They all humiliated me the rest of the day. Why do they do this?

There is this girl in my grade (10) who hates me for no reason whatsoever. She loves to talk about me but it doesn't bother me much. Untill now. She told my friend I was anorexic and bulemic. These are completly false statements. I am 5'3, 15 and a good weight for my size. I am skinny. I feel no need to throw up or starve myself as I am comfortable with my body image. This girl "Jaime" says she has proof that I am anorexic and bulemic. Like I said these are not true. I never throw up food on purpose ( only times is when I have stomach viruses). Last year I used to skip lunch but never had a weight or disorder. These are serious issues and shouldn't be joked about. Eating disorders can be deadly.Why is she saying this about me? People say its odd she says it about me because she seems to be anorexic. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi I am 9 weeks pregnant. Why is it that in my 6-7 week ultrasound I saw arms and legs and stuff like that. It was really neat. Then in my 9 weeks ultrasound today it looks more like a large blob than a baby like it did in previous ultrasounds. Why is that? Why do they look less like a baby now then before?
