Our little girl had her 6 month checkup today and we were told that her head circumference has only increased by 1cm in 2 months is this something to be worried about?. Her length and weight growth are increasing fine though.

Excuse me, but why do people quote the bible at me when I ask them a question on this website. How would you like it if I started quoting “See Spot Run” at you? They are both fake books? I would like it if people would keep their personal beliefs at home instead of on the internet. Not everyone believes in the bible as they no longer believe in Norsian mythology. Who else is sick of this?

I am trying to get pregnant. I work at a hospital and have the benefits of having someone test my blood for free. I am approaching the time I should be getting my period. I felt nauseated today, so we tested my blood. The hCG level was 3.85. Last week it was zero. We tested it last week just because it was 7 days past my LH surge. My urine preg test has a very faint line. I know3.85 is considered not pregnant since it is below 5. My question is, why do I even have hCG present in my blood at all if I am not pregnant?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

To ensure the child is brought up in a good environment with decent manners and morals by the parents. Surely, if you're decent parents (note the plural), you wouldn't object. Adoption and foster agencies carry out rigorous checks, why not the same for people wanting to be parents?
I see fat, scruffy kids going to school each morning eating their packet of crisps for breakfast, swearing profusely, abusing other people. In the evenings there's packs of them, who are supposed to be at the youth club, maurauding the streets and swilling beer and cider and making a nuisance of themselves. I always think to myself "What's the parent(s) like?"
Almost every other level of high responsibility includes a licence, screening or a test these days. - driving, teaching, nursing, trading, even owning a dog or firearm. Parenting is THE biggest responsibility.
I know I'm going to be slated for this question, but would like to see the reaction. Remember folks it's just a question!

I have a year old son, he was the most adorable food baby and my first but since the age of 3 he has absolutely changed, he has a tendency to answer back, never listen to waht Iask him to do, scream when I take him shopping, run off in the mall, throw tantrums if he does not get his own way (which is mighty embarassing in public), he never talks to his teachers, is agressive with his toys,tells me and his dad "you are not my mummy, you are not my daddy", never says thank you. I n a few words I can not control him anymore, does he need a specialist.
Above all in the flat he scream sso loud teh neighbour has called the social services, so Icannot even lightly smack him on his back side,because he tells people I hit him.
All of this is destroying my relationship with my partner, help.

I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend for 5 months now. We don't have sex that often because our schedules are completely different. But I'm worried that since I've had unprotected sex and didn't get pregnant, that I'm not fertile

I've seen him get in trouble for hitting another kid, and today he hit my son who is 5 in the back and punched him in the leg just because he wanted my son to take this little girl's toy to the basketball court when her mother told them not to take her toy out of the specific area, my son told him no because the lady said not to, and that's when he attacked him; my son hit him back though.

I've heard this kid who is 6 years old tell his mom he hates her and she said, "No one cares" and the dad just said, "Don't talk like that." not in a demanding tone either.

I am so mad even though my son got his lick back, his leg is still hurting. I don't want him to hang around him anymore but I don't want him to want to be around him more because of the fact that I don't want him to play with him anymore. I asked my son did he want to still be his friend and he said he didn't know.

I explained to him that friends may disagree but they don't hit eachother. What do you all think?

A married couple having their first baby was invited to make use of a new Machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pains to the Baby's biological father.

Both were happy to try it.

The pain transfer was set to 10 percent but the husband felt nothing so the doctor increased it to 20 percent. The father said he still felt fine and his blood pressure was normal. He invited the doctor to kick it up to 50 percent. Still no reaction. The doctor was amazed and slowly transferred all the pain until the wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain.

She, the husband and the doctor were ecstatic. When they got home, the gardener was lying dead at the gate.

I remember kissing my Dad's sandpaper face, cooking my first egg, popping fushia flowers, and my dog sacking the neighbors dog when it tried to bit me, but the earliest was in a highchair drinking milk, and dropping the glass on the floor.

there was a question several days ago asking people how much they spend on their kids, and the average answer was inexcess of 800-1000usd per child. that is about 500-650 Uk pounds.
personally, i buy things for my daughter through out the year, which i am sure most people do for their kids, and this christmas will not be spending more than 50 pounds. if i had alot of money perhaps i would spend more buying a one off expensive present. but the impression i get is that these kids will be getting ALOT of toys as well as clothes which are probably more expensive than they need to be.
so my question is really... why do parents feel it is necessary to spend so much money? what kind of lesson does it teach their kids apart from glutany? if parents are giving to their kids through out the year, why should suddenly at christmas do they go over board, surely the giving should be proportional through out the year? is this spending more to do with the parents than it is to do with the kids?

my wife is a dear sweet woman but she is lazy how can I make her more active? she sleeps more than 7 hours every night and only gets up right at the last minute to get the kids ready for school
she refuses to cook what I like to eat and only shaves her legs when she goes out with her lesbian friends
my mother used to get up at 5am every morning and make everyone happy and she was happy too
my wife is three months pregnant but I think that is no excuse because my mother worked until she was full term
sometimes I want to hit her with a closed fist but im a good husband and I love her I just wish she wasnt so lazy
