Or is it about equal? It seems that during childhood and adolescence, boys are the ones that get the most freedom and they get to do things a lot earlier than girls do. I know that I didn't start driving until I was a senior in high school, while my brother was allowed to drive when he was just a sophmore. He was given a lot more freedom than I ever was...although I was older. Is this because, girls are seen as needing more protection and sheltering than guys are? Does this urge to protect and shelter girls, make it more difficult for parents to raise them than boys?

my daughter is nearly two and a half and the other day in the night i went into her room as i heard her moving around and she was scrabbling against the wall disorientated.
Was she sleepwalking? when i picked her up she kept trying to reach the wall, which makes me think she was but i am unsure as to whether a child so young can!! sorry i prob sound thick!

When some one writes a question about something on the parenting forum, then post's another question 1 min later that contradicts the first question....... Why?

Im now 10 weeks pregnant. I have had a previous miscarriage a few years ago, and just wanted to get your opinions on the situation surrounding it, mainly to try to put my mind at rest a bit. I was travelling around Peru, up mountains at high altitudes, in the jungle trekking, 15 hr flights, anti-malaria drugs, lots of vacinations etc. I didn't know I was in the early stages of pregnancy when i was there, I found out when I got back and lost the baby a week later. Now im pregnant again Im trying to convince myself it was the situation I was in previously that made me lose the baby, and, as im doing everything right this time ie rest, vits, no alchol etc I should be fine. My friends say u cannot really find a cause of miscarriage, it just happens, but I feel better if I can attribute a cause, and im sure the travelling was the reason. What do u think?

we're not like engaged or anything. but we've talked about baby names, and i had given him a list of girls names that i LOVED, and he picked the 2 that he liked the best, and he gave me ONE boy name that he liked and i don't really like it. what should i do?? i don't want him to think that i wanna be selfish and name all 3 of our kids, but i REALLY don't like the boy name!!! (it's benji by the way--it reminds me and others of a dog and i don't want my kid to get made fun of).

Sometimes, people talk about how people don't need to have children, or a certain number of children because the world is already overly populated. Does anyone actually take that into consideration when they're deciding whether or not to have children? Does anyone really care? I don't have kids yet, but I doubt i'll think about that when the time comes....should I?

When you are pregnant are your breats SUPER sore or can they just be sore to the touch. Also do your nipples feel different. Does the alveoli always get bigger. My friend was just pregnant and she tells me weird things. i was wondering if it was the same for everyone.

I recently had a miscarriage due to a molar pregnancy so my doctor tells me, which I dont think was right b/c i did research on the subject and according to it it says that itd]s not really a baby growing in me, but during a visit to planned parenthood I say the baby's heart beat. So I dont think the doctor was totally correct. But anyway, Me and my boyfriend have been having sex and he came in me yesterday and last wednesday. My period ended about 2 weeks ago, and when i just went to the restroom a minute ago, I smelled a hint of blood but when I wiped myself the tissue was still white. the toliet had a hint of red in it, and I had on black panties so i couldnt see if blood was in my underwear. Was this implantion bleeding from me possibly being pregnant or is it to early to tell?

Recently, I started dating men that have children and I hear this story way too many times...she won't let me see my child. The fathers are paying child support and they always have to end up going to court to get visitation rights because the mother wants to act like a fool when it comes to seeing the child. But why do they have to even go through all that? It seems as though fathers have absoultley no rights whatsoever even if the mother is CRAZY which I think is crazy.

Why do women do this to their child? I am a single mom and I couldn't imagine doing this to my son. His dad and I worked it out amongst ourselves and he gets our son every other week. I ENJOY every minute of my freedom and I can't wait for him to come and get him so he can spend quality time with him. So this is why I don't understand how a mother would use their child as a weapon. Does anyone know someone doing this type of thing or are you yourself doing it?

shes 3, and where the oily looking scales are she seems to be losing hair. Does anybody know what this could be and what I could use to help prevent it? I am taking her to the doctor on tuesday to get her doctors opinion, just curious if anybody had any ideas to do before then.

One person suggested that it was cradle cap, can you get that as you get older, I thought that was exclusively for newborns and infants, if it is cradle cap, how can I prevent it from happening again?

This is my third child, I lost my daughter in March (she was 2). If we have a boy I want to name him Dylan, because that is what I wanted to name my first son. But my sister-in-law whom we don't speak with gave her son the middle name of Dylan so I couldn't use it. Because my husband changed his name at the last minute, so I really want to name him Dylan. What do you think? Should I do what I want with my unborn childs name?

I gave birth to a healthy baby girl this past Wednesday with every intention of exclusively breastfeeding. It's something that I believe strongly in and wanted so badly for my baby and myself. I read about it, took classes on it, talked to mothers, and generally thought I was really well prepared. The first few attempts didn't go well and we never got her latched on, despite help from the lactation consultants at the hospital. On day two they said we needed to give her some supplemental formula because she was SO hungry and MAD, so I said okay to that. Now we're on day 4 and I still have yet to get baby latched on, even for a minute. My milk has come in but she just wont even try to nurse! I've tried and tried and then tried some more to get her to latch but she just gets frustrated and starts screaming and I end up giving her a bottle. I'm afraid if I don't get her breastfeeding soon I wont produce more milk for her and I'm SO disappointed with the way this has gone. Help!!
