She just turned five, and really likes her sippy cup ... my father does not agree with it at all, but my brother and his wife seem fine with it.

Thoughts?

Alright..I'm asking on behalf of a friend of mine who cannot seem to get her daughters to get up and go to the bathroom. Both of them urinate all over themselves at night simply because they are too lazy to get up. Then come to find out, the 12 year old hasn't had a bath since October 6th, and she's starting to get these itchy red bumps. The mother had no idea that this was going on, because she works..The kids refuse to sleep with a pad underneath them so they won't stain the covers or anything..What advice could I give to the mother about her children? She's feeling completely hopeless at this point in time.

i have a daughter who is 8 months old. she is very good at going to bed if she has her bottle, however, she will wake up a few times in the night and needs her bottle to get back to bed. doing this bottle thing works great, but the experts say that you shouldnt put your baby to bed with a bottle because he causes tooth decay.
i have tried giving her water but she just screams and shuts her mouth when i try to give it to her. what can i do? and also how do i get her to sleep though the night?

She gets put to bed every afternoon for her sleep and most of the time won't sleep even though she's tired. I get her up when she needs to be awake whether she's slept or not. She has had one pm sleep in the last 2 weeks and that was for half an hour and now she has started having horrendous temper tantrums which last an hour or so. She doesn't like being cuddled, talked to or any contact while she is having them, but can't calm herself down. Had to put her to bed while she was having one tonight, didn't know what else to do. She evntually calmed down, went to sleep and then started again half hour later. Has anybody been through this or have any ideas. My older boy could always be distracted but so far haven't found anything that works.

The last couple of days I have felt very abnormal. Symptoms of tiredness, extreme emotions (I mean extreme!), I felt sick to my stomach (You know the sickness you feel when you had no sleep from the night before? It was that kind of sick) I have never ever felt this way...
My periods are always so abnormal that I never know if they are late or on time..
Sure enough I take a pregnancy test TWO LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PREGNANT!!!! FIRST Dr.s appointment next Tuesday!!

I am just overwhelmed with joy! It has taken me 3 years of trying
I cant stop crying

What should I be expecting in the next month?

I already questioned people on why they would voluntarily want to breed when there are already so many people in the world. In exchange I got a tirade of instinct-fuelled abuse from hormonally controlled parents.... and very few actual answers.

Perhaps I need to better explain: As much as the eradication of humanity would be amusing... I don't advocate the ceasure of breeding of all kinds, but rather that breeding should be limited so we aren't just throwing new people into a world where the resources are so thin that everyone lives a miserable life. Not only that but there are many children out there without parents because said people irresponsibly gave birth to them and gave them up.

Why is it that so few people can look to do humanity a favour by helping those who are already there and uncared for rather than just making more mouths to feed?

We may be animals, but WE have the choice to defy instinct for the greater good. Is utilitarianism dead?

It was very light when it is usually heavy. It has never been this light before, and now I feel nauseous after I eat anything. I dont throw up. Just feel like it. I feel very tired and my lower back hurts on and off like my stomache, and just a few days ago my nipples have become very tender. I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative but the line was so light i could barely see it but i think that is was to soon to take the test? What do you think. How did you know that you were pregnant...any signs or symptoms???

Ok, i took a pregnancy test today. I read the instructions and it said not to let the little window of the result to get wet. I tried my hardest but still got a little wet on it. The result showed up negative, because it only has one line on it. however, on the side in the end there is some bit of purple color. Could that just be the wetness of the sprinkle of urine on it? AHHH i'm so mad! Now I am not sure what that is!

I just wanted to ask, I know that there's this myth that depending on what you crave either sweets or saltiness you can tell if your having a boy or a girl. Which is which? I seem to be craving alot of sweet things lately. Mainly fruit!!
