at 5'5" I'm 240 lbs, so technically considered obese. My weight is distributed fairly evenly and my diet is pretty healthy and I do excercise.

My sister is dealing with this. Her son is 6 years old. He had a close cousin die when he was 3 and still talks about him all the time and his grandpa died this week. He asked why he wasnt breathing during the funeral and he also asked if they were going to put him in the ground and put dirt over him. The only reason she brought him to the funeral was because his grandpa would of wanted him there. He loved his grandchildren dearly.

Would you be angry that he hadn't come to you first, or would you try to help him any way you could?

Point being, is it true that a female can take semen from a used condom and impregnate herself, and if so how long would she have to use the semen before it died?

It seems as though the yahoo pregnancy test is more effective than the ones you buy out in the store that you pee on to actually see if you are really pregnant or not...Who agrees?

You guys said overwhelmingly that Ryan was a cute name for a girl. My husband has given his full blessing for the middle name to be Ryan (he didnt like the first name being Ryan). We both like Hannah. What do you guys think about Hannah Ryan?

I'm interested in sending my children to private school and/or a Montessori school. I just want to guarantee they are getting the best education possible. I have yet to rule out home schooling but education is such a concern of mine I hope they can be in a classroom setting.

What are your views on private school?

Is it affordable or would I break the bank?

Have you sent your children to private school? If so, what was your impression?

Did you or do you attend public school? If so, what was your impression.

Thank you!

I am 16 weeks pregnant, and now my belly is starting to grow! My jeans no longer fit, or they do, just cant button them, then the zipper falls down. I tried a bella band(looks like a tube top, but for your belly), and that no longer holds the zipper. So i am looking for some pants that are stretching but comfy. I have to be able to wear them to work. I work in a casual environment (thank god). Does anyone know where i can find some? I have tried : jcpenney,sears, dillards, kohls, walmart, shopko, and have looked on the internet. The only store i am finding any is at fashion bug. I cant fit into maternity because my belly is not big enough yet. PLEASE HELP ME

My son slams his hands on his ears when he hears certain sounds and background noises. I was told by a doctor that he has spectrums of autism without having autism. Can anyone explain what this would mean? I'm having some disagreements with my husband. The doctor said that Bill Gates has this. He also said that my son is somewhere between Rainman and Einstein.

I peeked around the corner in his room to find that he had his diaper off and was playing with himself, He had a little hard on, when I walked in on him, his eyes got all big and he started screaming and pushing me out of his room, then he slammed the door on me and would'nt let me in..He usually doesnt act like this, and he's been taking off his diaper alot lately...I tell him no, and put his diaper back on with an outfit, but he still manages to get it off and now he pee'd on the carpet...Again not usual behavior, He's also really frustrated for no reason.. Is there a logical explanation for this? How do I get him to stop?Is it normal for little boys to play with themselves at this early of an age..?He turns two in January...

My daughter is 7 months old and tonight during her bath I noticed that her belly button is looking raw, like it did right after the stump fell off. She is scoot pretty good and is doing alot of "fast rocking" getting ready to start crawling, so I was wondering if it might have been rubbed raw against her clothes or diaper, or if it could be from her growing and the skin pulling on that area, or if it could be an infection of some type?

The youngest mother on record was a Peruvian girl named Lina Medina. She gave birth to a boy by caesarean section on May 14, 1939 (which happened to be Mother's Day), at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days.

Wow, this is incredible, tell me about the first thing you think about.

I fell horrible for even considering it. My baby has been waking up crying, atleast 3 times a night for the past couple of weeks. I nurse him to sleep every night. I know I'll have to break that habit anyway. I'm not sure what's going on with him. I don't think it's because he's hungry or wet. Could it be teething? Will crying it out help him sleep better?
