My second son is 16 years old, and for the passed year he has been going from bad to worse, he tests my patience all the time. He lies to my face, he drinks when I let him out, he steals ie money & mobile phones or what ever he can get.
He is cheeky, and I keep telling him "someday your mouth will get your jaw broke" on the other hand he can be loving and funny full of kindness.
Is it my fault he's like this? Is it a part of growing up?
I concider myself as an understanding young mum of 5 kids, I have 1 older than him, (18) he has never given me half the trouble as this 1.

My mom, my sister, my daughter and i all went to the mall this weekend. As soon as my daughter and i got in the car. My sister started whinning to my mom that shes always babying my daughter. My daughter is only 3. We went out to redlobster and my mom spent 70 dollers on all of us to eat. Then we went to the mall and she bought my sister a bunch of clothes. My sister wanted a black trench coat and my mom told her no...and then my sister started throwing a fit(shes 17) crying and bawling and then she came over there and was like that stupid ***** never gets me anything...well i slapped my sister and was like dont talk to about her like that...she did it again..so i slapped her again. then she slapped me back and i walked out...well my mom gave her 40 dollers and we went down the mall our seperate ways. When we came back my sister was still in the same spot of the mall crying cause she didnt have enough money...we went to the car and my sister started digging at her wrist and crying..

So it is a little to early for me to take a test, but both my fiance and I have had dreams about have a baby recently and what is odder is that the other day when he kissed me he shut his eyes and he told me that he saw babies with raddles playing, it surprised the hell out of him. I don't feel pregnant but then again how can one define how you should feel exactly, i have been sore here recently for no good reason my breasts hurt and I'm not sure if this matters or not but I recently had a yeast infection. I'm just looking for your thoughts. Thanks:)

I am a single parent of a very demanding 2 year old, I live on my own, on a council estate, I am desparate to go back to work (sponging off the social is something I can't bare doing). I'm trying to find a way to beat 'the system'. I have contact with his father, he comes around for 1 hour most weeks, and gives me the odd tenner, but this hardly helps. If he gave me legal support, it would only be taken out of my much needed benifits. My Mum & Dad have recently seperated (wich make matters worse) My Dad lives close by but never asks if he can help, apart from slipping me the odd £20. My Mum lives 80 miles away, and although she would help if she could, she can hardly nip around the corner to help if I need her (she cannot drive, and has just started up a new business with her new partner). I take the train to stay with my Mum & new husband (wich I like) quite often, But I know this is not the answer.When I'm there we're happy (I can SLEEP),but when I leave all I do is cry, pls help.

I am just curious about peoples' opinions when it comes to an unwed couple with a baby, and what last name to give it? I am 6-months pregnant, and already have a son, with my long-time boyfriend. When I was pregnant with my son, we discussed what his last name would be. I wanted my son to have my last name; my boyfriend wanted to use his. So we hyphenated...which I really don't like, but it's a compromise that let us both win. As I said, I am pregnant again and just thinking about the whole last name thing once more. We will give the baby the same last name as her brother obviously, but I would just like to know what others did in this situation? In my baby names book it said that in the olden days, if the couple were married, the child would have the father's last name (as tradition has carried forward), but if the parents were unwed, the child would have the mother's last name. What do you think should be done?

then took 2 more tests on friday they were negative, my period was due on saturday and still nothing. So this morning I saw a little bit of blood and thought it was my period, I put a tampon on and took it out a few minutes ago and it had a little bit of brownish blood. See this is weird to me cause I'm usually very heavy and since I saw the little bit of blood this morning haven't seen anymore since. Does anyone know what's going on? Could it be that I'm stressing about it too much? We are TTC.

I had my first crush early in the year. Though I thought she was great, she somehow just thought we should be friends. She turned me down to the first dance, as explained in a note from reading class (IM me for details).

Then, like two weeks later, she starts being mean to me. September has joined the others who have bullied me and act like my "friends" since I moved to San Antonio.

She doesn't like me in anyway, not even as a friend, even if I was nice.

So what happened?

Remember, it was early in the year and I was the new kid.

My period was about a week and a half late, so I took a HPT...which was positive. That was Thursday. On Saturday, I woke up with spotting. It started as a light, brown, discharge...but later turned to a heavier, more red discharge. I also developed cramps (felt just like menstrual cramps). I took Tylenol for the cramps, and used pads (instead of tampons) so I could monitor the discharge. The cramps eventually subsided, but the bleeding continued. It is almost completely gone today, just a few spots (somewhat brown in color) every now and then. I read that with a miscarriage, you will notice clots, or tissue with the blood. I did notice a few small pieces of clotting, or tissue.....but that's it. (I have noticed clots every now and then during my regular period.) I am waiting for my husband's new insurance to start before I head to the doctor. I can wait this out on my own...but I was just curious. I know that even after a miscarriage, a pregnancy test will be positive.

My husband and I had unprotected sex on Oct 17th and 18th.I ovulated yesterday (oct 22). My next period isn't due until Nov 7th. When is the soonest I could take a pregnancy test that would show accurate results? Do I have to wait until after my missed period (Nov 7th) or would it be accurate now?

Please no rude answers. I've never been pregnant before and don't know how long I should wait for the test.
