Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 October 2006

I am about to have a son in January, I hear everyone yelling all the time how expensive they are but how expensive are they really, when my son is born how much am I looking at spending that first month alone, and by the time he is 1, please some actual figures, or a price range I'm going to take care of him regardless but I am just very curious

For those who have answered my questions recently about my 8 yr old son, you know some of things I am going through here.

For those who haven't, I have an 8 yr old that has decided he is going to go through a defiant stage, he has stopped doing his work in school, doing his homework, he is talking back & being rude...
His newest trick....he has decided he doesn't have to wipe after going potty....I have had to throw SEVERAL pairs of his underwear away & have told him I am not going to buy him anymore if this continues. I do not want to have to keep doing this....I have explained the hygenic parts to him, as well as, the reprecussions, but it isnt phasing him.
How do I make it clear to him that he NEEDS to wipe after this?

My baby just turned 1 and he will only drink a sip or two of water during the day. He is still breastfed and on solids, but a very picky eater. Any idea if this is ok/healthy for him? You hear so much about hydration, it makes a new mom worry!

Thanks!

my back's in a lot of pain, and nothing is helping. I went to the chemist, who told me the strongest thing i can take is panadeine (paracetemol + codeine), well that hasn't done a thing. i've tried heat packs, hot water bottles, massage, stretching, sleeping on my side, sleeping on my stomach, nothing is helping. I have 3 other children to look after, including a 10 month old and a home to maintain. I can't be out of action. the doctor has written a letter to the hospital to refer me to physio, but that won't be for at least another 2 weeks! please help me. Also, does this mean I will have to have a caesarean?

My son is 17 and has a 6 month old daughter, Charlotte. When he was 16 he got his girlfriend pregnant and she origionally wanted an abortion but my son talked her out of it becuase he did not want to lost his baby. He told her that he would take care of the baby when she was born, and that if she didnt want to be in there daughters life that was her problem, but he was not going to be like that.

When Charlotte was born her mother signed over all her parental rights and my son is her only gaurdian.

Recently my sons ex girlfriend, has been harassing my son and telling everyone at school that he stole her daughter, that he's brainwashing her and will lie to her about her mother when his daughter gets older.

She is in most of my sons classes, and her harassment is a huge distraction and he's very hurt by her comments. He tried to get himself moved into different classes but the school seems not to care much.

I dont know what to do, I feel like theres somthing I should be doing

worry to much about money...would you have another kid? Providing your reasons for having anymore kids now is because its expensive.

Every girl that I meet that I think is pretty I always go up to talk to and we always become really good friends. But that's my problem, you'd think that being outgoing and being able to make a girl laugh might win her over but when I really start liking someone they just think of me as a "best friend". Does anyone know how to get past this?

I'm only 13 but I'm so scared that my children in the future are going to make the same mistakes as me. I don't want then to feel like I'm holding them back from things, but I also want them to be safe. It would be so upsetting if I hurt them in anyway or if they hated me. Please help.

I hear that sex is better in a hot tub, I also heard that women are more likely to have on org*sm and are less likely to get pregnant. Is any of this true? If it is, then thats perfect cause me and my girlfriend are right around that stage.
