Is it more painful/difficult to give birth when you are overweight? For example because you're generally less fit, less flexible, doesn't the fat get in the way when you need to stretch so much during birth?

A little kid (maybe 6 or 7) asked me hoe people had sex. I just told him that goes there basically. I didn't tell him what or anything, but I think I confused the hell out of him. Was that the right thing to say?

I just stopped breastfeeding my second daughter, she is nine months old, and I am trying to figure out which formula to give her. With the first, I gave her Enfamil lipil exclusively. This time around I am wondering how good the generic versions are. Specifically the Kirkland (Costco) brand...or any others people know about. Are they just as good? What are the pros/cons beyond price. Thanks!

As I put my child on the pre-school bus every morning there is a girl whos also putting a friends child on the kindergarten bus. Shes not there mother, the mother goes to school and has 3 kids. So shes basically the live in baby sister. The children both are usually dressed pretty warm besides the infant who is 4 weeks old. I had an infant this time of year last year and I still have warm snow suits and fleece suits to go over a babys close. There never even a hat on the infant. How do I approach this mother or in this case the sitter (cuz shes usually the one out there) and offer her the warm suits I still have from my daughter without sounding like Im being a rude b*tch and have noticed they dont dress the baby warm enough. It's subsidized housing that they live in.. so Im thinking its just a money issue. And i'd like to give them the warm suits if they would be of help.

If it measures correct for your date....I'm 28wks. Then does that also mean the baby IS growing properly?

I am in canada and have a rear facing infant car seat which is for children up to a year old (or up to 22 pounds)...my daughter is 5 months old and 19 pounds...my question is once she hits 22 pounds is there another car seat I can buy for that weight to be a rear facing car seat or do I just get her a regular car seat and let her face forward?? Someone told me they had to be in a rear facing car seat at least till their one, but every rear facing I have seen says up to 22 or 25 pounds. Even convertible ones say rear facing up to 22 pounds...front facing 22 to 40 and booster 40 to 80 pounds....Anyone know anything about this??

One of my friends used to like the same guy that I like now. I don't know if she still likes him though but I know that she used to. The problem is that I don't know if she told him bad things about me since we are in a fight right now. I mean I really like this guy and would date him but i am afraid that because I was fighting with my friend that she may have told him bad things about me. What should I do? Thanks in advance for your help?

My son is 10 and in the 5th grade. He is an excellent student and has always been on the honor roll. When he gets on the honor roll I tell him I will buy him something. He is really into video games so that is usually what he asks for. What are your opinions on this? Do you think kids should be rewarded for being on the honor roll?

My two, soon to be three year ols refuses to use the potty. She will tell me she needs to pee but will fight you if you try to set her on the potty. Then as soon as she gets up she'll pee in her panties. We haven't even attempted to poop in the potty. I am seventeen weeks pregnant and would really like to have her completely potty trained before this baby is born. But I don't want to make it a trmatic event either.
I have tried to reward her with movies, toys, candy, and new panties that she gets to pick out but nothing seems to work.
PLease help if you've been in my situation or if you have a good idea.
I've also read all the books and watched all the movies.
Please help!!1

I was denyed the bathroom as a child at school several times. I also knew a girl who's mom never let her or her brother use the bathroom in public, forcing then to hold it sometimes for hours on end. She told me they were made to hold it after getting home if they complaned about needing to go or misbehaved.

I have also seen parent do this to their children in public. I was wondering if anyone as seen this before and in what setting?
