Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 December 2006

to own a cell phone? I'd like to hear what some parents think, because there seem to be a large number of fourth-graders (9 years old!!) who own regular, real cell phones, and my daughter, who is 8, wants one, too. What's up with this? How old would your child have to be to own a cell phone?

I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids.My eldest daugther is 11 and my son is 3 1/2 y/o. I'm having kind of problem with my son who seems to be afraid or just too shy with other people.He clings to me like velcro whenever we visit my in-laws,but I'm not having this kind of problem whenever we visit my parents.my in-laws tends to teaSE him constantly but when I tell him he's not in the mood they stop but still,our son seems to distant himself.I try to expose him to other people,I also notice that he has hard time expressing himself,he converse with us in english and not in our native tongue although and I think he is having a hard time absorbing everything because he's bi-lingual (not intentionally) he learned english from watching children show but I talk to him in our native tongue.I don't see anything wrong with his development just his behavior with my in laws.I need suggest on how to develop his behavior and about his ability to express his feelings

I went bowling with my husband and a bunch of friends last night for a friend's birthday. I bowled five games with a 14 lb. ball. I felt fine the entire time, other than my wrist started to get weak and tired. (That's a given.) I felt like my stomach was stretching at one point a little bit (the muscles) but it didn't hurt.

I got home about three hours ago and went to bed two hours ago. I slept for a couple and I just woke up.

I am very nauseated and my stomach "hurts". I feel very sore - even my hips and upper legs, which never happens to me after bowling.

I'm really worried that I may have hurt the baby... She seems to be wiggling away, but I'm scared. Any input?

(If you are going to say something ignorant, please don't bother, I'm really concerned as it took me nearly a year of fertility treatments to get pregnant...)

don't mean sarcasim or insults to anyone
I support love in all forms
Too much hate in this world to not honor & respect all love
Thats why I want to support gay marriage
Want enlightenment which living in free country offers access to attempt
struggling w/ fears,refering to generalizations:
Marraige is tool to protect women and children Protects women cuz they carry, birth, caregivers & nurturers of kids and men
This is instinctual
Hard on body and selfless too
Needs to be protection and honor in this

protects kids as incentive to be & stay married Spirit. and econ.
Gays cant have kids = union of 2 w/ 2 full incomes no kids why need tax break
If married they want kids too? How?
kids become commodity? DNA market? would value of life & how its created be diminished?
Ma & Pa DNA= legal & $ responsibility 4 kids w/ no choice (4 men) heavy consequences (4 women) w/ choice-can happen on accident
gay= choice to have kids
best 4 kids to have ma & pa, self iden

Hey guys, just wanted to get some advice from those of you who have been pregnant before. My fiance was due for her period on nov 6th but didnt get it until nov 14th and it ended on the 19th. last sunday the 26th, she started excreting brown blood, then on monday it became a light pink. it wasnt a large amount, we only noticed it when she wiped after peeing. it stopped on monday. as well she has a large hard belly, back pain, sore breasts, enlarged nipples, is nauseaus and very tired. could she be pregnant? her next period isnt due until dec 14th, so could this be possible? as well, when we had sex around her period, we used a condom. so it wasnt like we had unprotected sex. (we never do). just want to get your opinion. thanks!


btw, she is always regular with her period (every 28 days) has never had a late period except for this month and has never bled in between periods.

thanks so much for all your help

Please note I am not stating my own position in this question. I just wanted to hear if there are any valid responses to the above phrase in reference to hitting children. Thank you for your (polite) reply.
