Does it have to be sex? Can it just be kissing?

Me and my husband are struggling with my sons sleeping habits. My husband works during the day and enjoys coming home and allowing our son to sleep with us. I on the other hand, I have to deal with those reprocostions. I have to rock our son to sleep for every nap and to put him to bed. He will sleep in his crib for about 3-4 hours and then wakes up crying. My husband then will get up and put him in our bed. My husband snores and is a bed hog, my son is just like his father. It's so bad I've even threatened to sleep on the floor in my sons nursry! I have heard great things about the ferber method but my husband cant stand hearing my son cry. I'm at a loss with what to do. please help!

Hi everyone! My husband and I just been marry for about 6mo. and we started to talked about having a baby next year. I'm in my mid 20s. and my husband in his early 30s. My husband is truthly a family man, I know he will be a great dad. I wanted to have a baby too, but I'm very very nervous, I don't have any siblings so I don't know if I can take good care of a baby, or what to expect. Is it painful when you giving birth? How would I expect to feel when being pregnant? Is it heavy? One thing that I'm really afraid of is not be able to get back in shape like right now. Will you gain major weight after give birth? Also, what nutritions food I should eat besides medications? Do I need to eat all the nutrients food before I try to conceive?
Thanks for any advice!

I'm I being to strict? I only allow my 9 & 8 year old to watch tv 1-2 hours a day, even on the weekends. If I let them they would watch it ALL day long. Sometimes I feel real bad because they seem bored they can't find anything else to do. We live in a nice area they could go play outside, they have bikes, skates, scooters, heely's, everything you could possibly think of yet when I tell them to go play outside its like a punishment for them. Inside they are limited 1 hour of video games as well. They have toys, board games, and puzzles but I still feel bad when I see them walking around the house bored. They both play soccer so that takes most of our Saturday but the first thing they want to do is watch tv when they get home. Should I let them watch more TV?

It is known that any female ovulates after 14 days of her period. To find when they ovulate whether I have to add 14 from the start of her period or add 14 from the end of her period. Please advise.

The friend of my friend says I'll never get to first base with her (my friend, Erin). What is first base in this sense? And what are second and third?

And do baseball plays have a sense in this too (fouls, grand slams, etc.)?

My gf and I had a preemie in July and were able to bring the baby home in August. My gf was up and about a week after giving birth but now that the baby home all she does is sleep. I'm at work all day and when i come home i help with the baby. i had expected her to tidy up around the house but now expect nothing except for her to take care of the baby. So her only responsiblity is to make sure that the baby is taken care of in all aspects. (ie: food, clothing, bathing, diapers). I come home and make her dinner, vacum, clean house, clean kitchen (she helps clean the kitches sometimes) and help out with the baby. Am i out of line to be upset if the baby runs out of diapers, low on wipes, she leaves me with not enough milk to feed him while shes gone, she yelled at the baby to shut up cause he was crying and she was tired (only once)?????????? I know that taking care of the baby alone is a HUGE job and do give credit for it.

I have taken 2 EPT (plus minus) tests both came back with a thin positive plus, then I took 2 of the (plus minus) dollar general tests they both came back a thin positive line, that was last week. Today I took 2 of the (plus minus) dollar generel tests both negative, the other tests I took where before I started taking the prenatal vitamins the doctor gave me, they have discolored my urine making it dark looking, I was wondeing if this could be making the results negative or could the other positives been evaporation lines, most of them came back positve before the 10 minute time limit but one of them it took an hour to come back positive, I would go to the doc, but they want a positive urine test before a blood test. Please help me I am so confused.

Well my situation is this,.....I am 19 years old and I am 6 weeks pregnant. I am going to be a single parent...I don't really have any help. To receive WIC it states that when your family size is "1" you can't make more than $18,000 something dollars a year. I make $24,000,...but it all goes to bills,..and with a child on the way that isin't much money. Does anyone know if you can still get WIC and be over the amount,...or if there is any other programs that can help financialy? Or with food?

She hates me at the moment and says she can and will do this on her own, but I WANT desperately to be part of the childs life. She says I don't even have to pay child support yet I would not mind what so ever and want to be a part of my childs life. We argued alot but I never touched her physically.

My neighbor's son bullies & hits her. He's six and huge, she's tiny. The boy & his sister play with the neighborhood kids in a group in front of my house\in my yard at the end of our dead-end street. Some moms watch & keep order.

If he doesn't get his way he will sometimes punch/slap/kick his mom. I can't stand by while he hurts her, so I have stepped in between them to stop him from punching her, grabbed his hands so he can't hit me, steered him away as he tried to kick.

BTW His dad said it was cute when the kid at 3 "tried to put mom in her place." Her family is overseas. The dad is IMHO emotionally abusive but doesn't hit anyone--just lets kids do what they want. He travels alot. Kid is in private school.

At some point he's going to hurt me or I'm going to hurt him accidentally---or he's going to hurt me & one of my kids is going to cream him.

I'm also worried that if I or one of my kids hurts him we'll be liable. Not letting my kids play outside isn't an option. Help!
