I have a 7 month old and I am considering purchasing a walker for her. She already has a jumperoo and an activity center, but I think the walker will help her leg muscles better. But I have heard both sides of stories, safe and unsafe? What should i do?

I met with this female friend last monday evening for intercourse. I wore a condom (that did not break) and I did not c*m; in fact, I have never been able to c*m with a condom on. So she calls me this weekend to tell me that she missed her period which she thinks (go figure) was supposed to be this past Fri or Sat. So having used a condom and not even cumming; what is the likelyhood that she is pregnant? And it wouldn't surprise me if she has maybe slept with someone else earlier this month (although she claims she didn't). She's already talking abortion... Anyone have any food for thought?

I have a 5-year-old little boy and am at a loss as to what to get him for Christmas. I'm sick of spending $$ on junk just so he has gifts to open. Any good ideas? He likes building things and loves sports and drawing. Thanks for any ideas!

I'm 31 weeks now and my belly seems lower to me. I don't remember noticing this with my first baby. I also seem to have less heartburn and can breath easier now. Is it too soon for the baby to drop? Thanks in advance.

My sister has been married for 15 years. She is now 36 years old. The plan has always been to make sure the financial stability was in place before starting a family. They have been well off financially for many years and she has been anxious to have a child. They have tried for the past year and she recently had a miscarrage. Now her husband says he does not want to have children. It is absolutley breaking her heart. He has always known she wanted children. I think he is being selfish and shallow and she should leave him. She cannot picture her life without a child. She is very depressed and is considering leaving him. I think it is unfair that he has taken this away from her. What do you think?

Okay,first of all,she has never seen her father (my hubby) and I do this and we don't have cable or watch soap operas.Yesterday I walked in her room and my jaw dropped when I saw her naked barbies (males and females) "making whoopee". =(
Is this normal?Where do the young kids learn it,I mean she is just a baby herself.Should I call the doctor or a specialist,maybe tell the Sunday school teacher? Desperately seeking advice

My son 7 came home from school the other day and asked me what racism was i hope i explained it ok and he seemed to go away understanding.But this has happened numerous times and i always think of what to say off the top of my head sometimes telling him things that are not strictly true e.g he heard on evening news the word rape he asked what it was i told him "it,s when a man kisses a lady and she doesnt want him to", i couldnt think of a suitable way to explain to a 7 yr old.Do other parents have same problem or are you all prepared for such questions?Id like to always be honest with him but never know the terms or words to use.

I've always heard that a woman shouldn't dye her hair when she's pregnant , something about the chemicals in the dye can harm the baby. Has anyone heard of this before?? Is it true??

During the first week of starting the white pills, I was on an antibiotic for three days to cure a UTI infection. It was called Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole). I did not use a second form after taking the meds. I have been on the pill for a year. What are my chances of getting pregnant?

A 16 yr. old boy is dating a 15 yr. old girl who tells everyone that her parents are drug users and her dad sexually abused her , etc., etc., etc. There is more drama in this girls life . Sometimes she seems to be saying all these things to get attention. She has stated that Family Services have come to investigate many times. She just was in youth court. Very rebel attitude. What would you do as the parent of the 16 yr. old boy?

I'm just curious to know when your child sit up on their own by themselves. My son is 6 months old and can sit by himself for short periods of time but still is wabbly. Everyone keeps asking if he is sitting up yet like he is suppose to be doing it already. He is a strong boy and holds his head up great but its like he's got that round butt thing and just doesn't sit well for very long by himself.
