Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 November 2006

Will try to add additional info. Our daughter habitually lies about everything and no punishment seems to work. We have sent her to a counselor and she just seems to tell her what she wanted to hear. Question her about why she lies and she will not answer. We have talked to her teachers with no help. We started yesterday with the silent treatment telling her this is what she can expect until she makes an honest effort to change. I have taken TV away, video games, pulling her out of sports, etc etc. Nothing makes a difference. I am ready to throw up my hands and say to hell with it.

I am 6.5 months pregnant and my husband is about as dumb as rocks. Whenever his co workers ask him how im doing he will tell them stupid things like pregnancy has made my skin ashy because im a black woman. Why does he put me out there like im a reject? And then when I get upset, he cant seem to understand WHY im mad.

I'm not spending insane money on this, nor waiting in line. What's good for kids that are used to gameboys? And game advice would be good too, Girl: 15, boy:9, almost 10

hi, i'm 13 from singapore, and well, the people here are kinda...conservative. from many stories that i've read here, it seems to me that many teens from western countries get pregnant early. in my country, it is a severe crime to get an under-aged teenager pregnant. but, by reading the posts here, being pegnant at my age seems no big deal. the boys in my class are not mature at all, some even very short and weighing only 28kg! i do not have any close guy friends, or should i say...i do not even talk to my guy friends even if i see them in class everyday! my society seems so conservative..

is it really no big deal to get pregnant at my age? (i'm asking this just because i want to know your opinions, but don't worry, i won't be doing IT yet)

how could i make some really great friends? i hope to have cliques that consists of both guys and girls...but i find the people in my class so insensitive and i can even call them...backstabbers..i'm really in a dilemma..could you help?

I have a few day old baby, and she was sick last night so she didnt get any sleep. She went to sleep at about 7 o clock this morning and is still sleeping. I would like her to get the rest, but I could only imagine how hungry she might be. I breastfeed. Should I wake her to feed, or wait untill she wakes up on her own? Will she wake up when she gets hungry enough?

Two weeks ago, I was dilated to 3 cm, 80% effaced. Last week, still dilated to 3, but 90% effaced. This week, dilated to 4 cm, 90% effaced. Doc said effacement percentage won't change until I'm in labor. I had loose stools all day yesterday. I either lost or am losing mucus plug this morning. No real contractions at all whatsoever. Just feels like menstrual cramping, nothing intense or painful. I'm not miserable or uncomfortable, just ready to meet my little one.....should I be expecting labor soon???

After you open it, you have to put it in the fridge and I just want to know if it has to be warmed.

i got a faint positive on a pregnancy test from home, went to the doctor and got a negative from the blood test. if i am indeed pregnant i would be 5 weeks tomorrow. Could there still not be enough HCG to come up with a positive, or do you think that there is something else wrong with me and that I am not pregnant at all. I got all excited when I seen that positive though it was faint and wanted to make sure I wasnt losing my mind so I went and got a blood test and when that came up negative it broke my heart. Is there anyone out there that has gone through the same thing and is still pregnant or ended up being pregnant and can anyone offer up some kind words as to your opinion on what you would do if you were in my shoes. Thank you so much I do so much appreciate it alot!! :)
I hope everyone is having a good day so far!! :)

I am thinking about buying a baby sling. My son is 5 months old. I know they make ones that are baby to toddler. Those of you who have one, which brand would you recommend? Do you like them? Do you find them useful? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was wondering about this, you see I am about to pay child support to my ex and I have recieved the paperwork from the court. To my surprise on her side it shows 0.00 for total income, now I do not know if she is working or not, but is there a way she could get in trouble with the courts if she does not work to support the child? I find this unfair for me because I have enough bills as is and I do not need to take the full brunt all because of her lazy butt won't work.

Any advice or comments are welcomed in this matter

The person that i was lusting with for about 3 years got me pregant. At first i didn't tell him because i didn't know how he was going to react, and i was still having a cycle and i didn't believe that i was preganant. After a few well maybe 4mts past i told him. He was okay with it until his bestfriend told him that i had cheated on him.Which was a lie. We contuied to lust until April the 1st. Then we decided that we would still talk and build on to a real relationship. Thats when i found out that he was dating another girl. I asked him and he told me the truth the second time. I would of been alright if he didn't tell me that we was going to have a relationship with me. My baby was due on the 22nd of April. So when I had my baby on the 16th and i called him he said that it wasn't his because I had her on the 16th. She is now 6mths going on 7mths and he hasn't came to see her. He seen pictures of her and thats it. I asked him several of times to take a DNA test, but he want.

She has been potty trained for about ten months now but she still has to wear a pull up to bed. How do I get her to understand to go to the potty at night? I never had this problem with my son and I just don't know what to do.
