I personally think it should be offered to those who want it. I realize that not all people share my beliefs, but I grew up believing, and still do, that I am not to be ashamed of my beliefs and that I should be proud and not hide the fact that I am a Christian. I have raised my children to feel the same way, and have told them not to be embarrassed or scared to show their beliefs at school and if they ever get in trouble at school for it, I will defend them no matter what. I just think that for all those who feel that religion shouldn't be in schools, that there are just as many who feel that it should be. Why do those who are against it, get what they want, and we have to give up what we want? Why can't there be choices for the kids? Those who want a Christmas program that celebrates Jesus, instead of Santa Clause, have their own program at school on a different night from the others. I just think that if we have to give up what we want, the non-believers can give a little too.

Do I have to give a man a paternity test? This man was mentally abusive (& any of you who read the question I asked a few weeks ago know more details) and is mentally unstable. If he takes me to court, will they force me to give him a paternity test? I want nothing to do with him--no money, no contact (for me and especially not my baby). The only reason he is seeking one is because he wants to protect his reputation.

My Grandmother just left from her unannounced week long visit, and I am finding little pills all over the house. I have a seven month old son in that phase where he picks up tiny thing between two fingers and puts them in his mouth. I have vacumed and cleaned and searched with a flashlight, and I even found two tiny pills on my son's play mat - and I'm a nurse. I know if he had swallowed those pills, he might have died.
I am livid. I don't want to allow my grandmother in my house again for such blunt carelessness - what should I say to her and how?

I am having a hard time because I really am not sure if I like that name or not. Unfortunately, the Dad is not the man I thought he was and not involved....so I can't ask his opinion but I am trying to think of a feminine name for someone who smiles a lot, has dark hair, is alert and inquisitive and something elegant but not too popular. Is it a really bad thing to change a baby's name? What month would be to late to change it?

My 7 week old baby girl is awake all day and asleep at night. When she is awake during the day all she wants to do is eat. I feed her about 4 ozs. every hour and a half. Then she cries all the time, unless she is eating. We are not heavy parents, infact we are healty and average, but it seems like she eats a lot, is she really that hungry?

No longer My Brother

I remeber when I cherished you
We were in 7th grade
You told me I could trust you
You must have changed
The times I got in trouble
Taking your side
Laughed on the way to the office
We walked in a happy stride
I felt you were a part of me
Loved you like a brother
My best friend
Simply like no other
You invited me to a party
Saturday from 7-10
Told me it would be off the chain
I said I would go then
That night
Rap music blared
Who knew the party was unsupervised
Everyone dancing to the beat like we didn't care
You gave me a drink
First it made me drowsy
Then I fell asleep
When I woke
It was half past 10
It was dark but the door opened
You came in
I asked why you didn't wake me
But you closed the door
Then I knew you plan
Didn't think this would happed before
After you had your fun
I cried
Softly prayed
And asked you why
I will never look at you the same
I hate you like no other
I don't trust you now
No longer my brother

My oldest child is in 3rd grade, and he has a birthday coming up in the next two weeks. He desperately wants to have his birthday at the local community center, where the kids can climb the rockwall, play basketball, & go swimming. His classroom has a policy of inviting the WHOLE class, or no one, so that kids don't come to school talking about so & so's party and leave " little suzy-who-wasn't-invited out." There are 27 kids in his class, and there would also be roughly a dozen kids from our family & friends. I expect most of the boys & a few of the girls from class would show up, at a cost of $14 per kid. We're talking about a $250 party if approximately 20 kids show up without even buying food & presents yet!! So....I was thinking about asking the families to pay $7 per kid, and I would also put something on the invitations to the effect of "Your presence, not your presents, is requested for Ethan's 9th birthday." Would it be tacky of me to make that request, or is it fair?

Hi,

I am currently in week 5 of my second pregnancy and is having light period now. I visited my gynae yesterday and he gave me a hormonal injection and allylestrenol turinal (3 pills a day)which is to continue for 2 weeks. He instructed me to stop breastfeeding cold turkey.

i like to enquiry if i could carry on breastfeeding my 8 month baby boy throughtout this period. or even if i shouldn't, could i feed my son the expressed milk? (so that i would not have painful engorgement). I really love breastfeeding my son, and i cant stand to see him crying so badly, missing my milk. Even if i have to stop, i like to do it gradually.

Please reply... I desperately looking for help now.

I know that the babies get there oxygen for the umbilical cord. I know that there is a type of liquid in the mother's womb. How come they don't drown if they open their mouth or breath through their nose.

i recently went back to work and i'm pumping. my workplace is very cool with letting me take the time to pump 3 times a day. they also are good with offering me private places where i can pump. i was wondering, are they required by law to accomodate a working mother who wants to pump, or am i just lucky? are other moms out there having similar experiences in the workplace or does their work frown upon taking the time to pump?

I had an ultrasound Wednesday I was 4 weeks and 4 days at that point. I had 2 sacs and only one has a visible yolk. The Dr. said that with twins sometimes one twin developes slower than the other and a yolk may form in the next couple of weeks. I am worried that I have my hopes up for twins and I may be let down. Has anyone had a ultrasound like mine? If so what was the out come?

Thanks for your help.

I forgot to ask my doctor at my last appointment, but my nose is SOOO stopped up. What can I use?

I know that I can use sudafed and claritin, but neither really work for me.

Any suggestions would be great.
