Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 November 2006

2 1/2 years ago i left my ex (baby mama) and put myself on child support for our two kids. i left because after 8 years of her not working, not cleaning, not cooking, not doing anything but talking on the phone, going to the mall, hanging out with her friend after they got off from there jobs because they cared enough about there men to help them at least in that way. this women dosn't want anything out of life but to sit on her *** at her mother's house paying no bills but her cell phone and thinking of new ways to spend the $900 in child support that i give her every mo.i don't want my kids to grow up like this. they deserve better, my new wife is the complete opposit and more of a rolemodal for my kids. how do i get custady of my kids

I live in an isolated area in a town of 498 people. My job is seasonal, and I get laid off six months at a time. We struggle to make a living here, but everybody in the family is really happy (beautiful surroundings, quiet, low crime, good schools, good friends). The kids don't want to move (four kids, ranging from 18 to 8). I recently received a college degree, but there are no opportunities nearby. Should I search for a job elsewhere even though my family would be disappointed to move?

Ok heres my deal. my husband and i are ttc. we had sex when we were suppost to cuz i was ovualting you know how it goes. Well ever since i ovualted my nipples had been really sore. i also got an yeast infection on top of that. and my period came 4 days early. But my period wasnt normal for me at all. It was only 3 days long and it looked pink/rustic brown. and had brown discharge. My periods are always heavy and clotty and red. this just doesnt seem right to me. I havent testest yet becuase i dont know what to do. my nipples dont hurt anymore they just look darker around my nipples and im so tired anymore. what could my bleeding have been part of? is that what implantation is cuz it was 10 days from when i ovulated. and i also spotted 3 days before i had to actually wear a pad. and had cramping off and on and now i do just lighter it seems. can you have that and be pregnant?

There is a woman I know that is taking care of her grandbaby. Her son works during the day and can't take care of the baby at night. The baby's mom is a drug addict, she dropped the baby off two weeks ago and hasn't been back. The baby is only about a month and a half old, but STILL looks like a premie. According to the grandmother the baby was given a clean bill of health when he was born, but there is something not right. The baby continues to vomit (I don't mean spit up....but vomit, with the smell of adult vomit!!). He doesn't look like he is gaining any weight and even his cry sounds distant. He looks like he might be in pain. I know that the grandmother is taking care of him to the best of her ability. I have never seen a baby like this before and think that he may have a serious condition. I don't want to call social services since the baby isn't being mistreated. I need suggestions

I have a 4 year old daughter who has always been around her father and his family. He has visitation everyother weekend with her and has had that since she was 8 months old. When she is home and her fathers name is spoken she gets upset and says that its not his name its daddy and that it is ugly to say his name and she gets hit in the mouth...She has called crying begging to come home but his family will not let her. What do I need to do to get something done about this?

Although they are a very happy clan, they are inseparable and feed off of each others energy. They are disrespectful of their belongings & don't think twice about destroying things. I'm at a loss - they don't seem to learn from being in time outs or losing a priviledge because they go right back to doing what they were being punished for. I think what they need is one on one attention or to be separated for periods of time - how does one do that?

I've read that your digestive system slows down so that it can absorb more of the nutrients from the food you eat while pregnant. If that's the case then why am I having a bowel movement like 1-2 times a day? It's like everything is working overtime now. I don't get it. Pre-pregnant I went go to the bathroom like once every 2 or 3 days.

I asked my 15 year old to describe where in the bowling alley (which I've been to many times) that they now have the screen to play music videos which she was talking about. She thought it too hard to describe and stomped upstairs.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is not too confusing. Recently my fiance and i decided to try and have a baby. In August, i was really stressed with work, so august i spotted weird, and sept. i had a really light period(not a major deal-i've skipped 6 months before because of stress) Than end of september i had a normal period again. We had sex on what would be my peak ovulation dates. Now i missed my next period, took a first response 2 days late and got neg. Is there a chance i could still be pregnant? I am now 10 days late, having clear discharge(like pre ov. kind) I know my period was messed up before but normally once i have a period again, it becomes normal right away. Sorry if this is so confusing?!! I was nauseous on and off and my breasts are alittle sore and cramping on and off..PLease help!!!

My seventeen year old daughter has been sneaking out at night after I go to bed. She feels like I am strict because I want here in by 12 00 am on the weekends and by 9 during the week. I get up very early during the week and I like her in before I go to bed. Also she is a senior in school and i feel like she needs to be in at a decent hour during the week. I am more worried about her safety by her sneaking out after I go to bed but she just thinks that I am being strict with her. anything could happen to her when I am sleeping and I would never know. Does anyone have any advice??
