Like my boss for example. He is 32, has never been married, and has no children. He isalways taking it upon himself to give out parenting advice. Half the time he makes it pretty obvious that he has no children, cause his advice sucks. Our office went to a Cancer Relay for Life and they were auctioning cakes off. My co-worker had her 3 yr old son there and he couldn't see the cakes they were showing. She said that he kept saying "Moma I can't see. I want to see the cakes too." She said that our boss turned to her and had the nerve to say "You want me to take him out of here and bust his butt?" He has been around my daughter like 4 times maybe, and says that she is so spoiled that when she grows up, he won't be surprised to see her at the top of a clock tower with a rifle shooting at people(Don't ask me what that is suppose to mean!). I get so tired of hearing his comments. He doesn't even have kids. Why do people like this give out parenting advice?

I am 16 weeks pregnant with my third child. I know every pregnancy is different, but I have major headaches and nothing helps. I also am craving salt. I have to put it on everything that I eat. Also I am thirsty a lot. I have a doctors appointment this week, and I was wondering if these things put together, or seperate are symptoms of something else that could be wrong? If anyone has had any of these, and they were symptoms of something serious, please tell me what it was so I can talk to my doctor about it. Thanks!

ok so I was a couple days late on my period I was cramping really bad but nothing was coming then at like midnight (I usually get my period in the morning) I had some brown spotting its been two days and its not very heavy but I still have some bleeding. I've been having cramping still and I never have cramps! I've been having some other symptoms too like feeling nauseous daily but not throwing up, its like this pit in my stomach and a lump in my throat, frequency in urination, moodswings, headaches, I have no idea whats going on with me. I've taken three tests, all negative, I took one Monday at midnight, Wed at midnight, and yesterday, it wasn't a clear negative it was blurry, I can't hold it in the stream for 10 secs likeyou are supposed to cause I pee so often now that I don't have enough to pee that long so I think the tests could be wrong. I have just the little bit of spotting like when I wipe but its not like a normal period. The last time I had sex was 3 weeks ago.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and I had gestational diabetes with my last child. I am going in for a early glucose test in two weeks, but the doc wanted me to start pricking my finger and testing now just so she can see what is it usually. The last few day I have been feeling shakey and have a headach and just can't seem to control my blood sugar. The doctor never told me what a normal pregnant blood sugar should be. Does anyone know? It has been 60 before and right now its up to 210. Which way should it be, up or down?

Throw their babies in the trash? When I was younger, it seemed like every time I turned on the news I heard about it....it was especially common amongst young teens still in school. Thankfully, I hardly ever hear anything about it now. Although sometimes, I do hear about babies being left places where they are sure to be found...like in front of a hospital or some place like that. I always felt, and still do feel, very sad when I hear things like that. I just wonder, why, when there were so many other things you could do for the baby, would you throw it in the trash? It's easy to say, if you don't want babies, don't have sex; however, what's done is done, and no sense dwelling on that. I understand the fear, I just wonder, what other options a young mother has, when she's had the baby, doesn't want it, but has a fear of being discovered? Adoption agencies don't ask questions do they? Neither do churches right?

My daughter is going to start elementary school next year. She's fully prepared academically and socially, but I also want to plan ahead so that she has the right clothing. I was such a dork throughout my school years and Although it's sad...I do know that name brands do matter. I want her to be accepted. The only place I know to start is Gymboree, but is that too babyish?

I bought an ovulation kit 3 months ago and usually start to see ferns for 3 days during the course that I am fertile. This time, just after ovulated I checked and I had no ferms (returned to non fertile stage) but I just checked yesterday and I had clear ferns. My AF is due around the 13 (5 to 6 days) so I'm trying to understand why I am still seeing ferns. Anyone have a similar experience and can explain?

My son has worked out that if he gets up at night and sits on his potty he can stay up.
I want him to go to sleep at the right time and I know he is just getting up to stay up longer.
at the same time I don't want him to feel like he can't get up to go to the toilet.
I am unsure what to do if anything?
(last night it took 15 minuets to do a very small amount of pee)

Our 1 eyar old just started daycare about 3 weeks ago. Since starting, he has been acting strange. We have also noticed rashes around his private parts, but the daycare people say its just a diaper rash. He gets very excited when you are about to change his diaper. He makes odd cooing sounds, only when his diaper is being changed. And he plays with his private parts when ever he gets the chance. He has learned to take his diaper off, just so he can play with his private parts.This may be just a phase, but something just doesnt seem right to me. He has become very touchy-feeling about diaper changes. When changing his diaper, he smiles, coos, and rubs his hand up and down your arm. He used to hate diaper changes, and now he seems to like them too much. Should i be concerned?
