Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 December 2006

my eldest did very well in this terms school report, much better then last terms so as a reward for all the hard work he put in, i agreed to let him have a sleepover!

he has invited 5 of his best friends and they are comming on the firday, they have been friends for a long time, i know the boys and i know their dads, their all good kids BUT they can be a bit "loud" togther and get a bit excited, i am letting them set up sleeping bags in my living room, their will be TV, gamecube etc.

now the last time they came over in this large numbers they where ten so i just told them to go to bed at 10, however their a bit older now, and i dont want to give an unreasonable time and i am not sure what rules i should set? i have 3 young children in the house (5,5,10) and i dont want them woken up at 2am, and i dont want to be woken up at 2am! i am also worried about my TV and stuff being broken.

I'm a 16yr old girl and he's a 18yr old guy... He has a car so going somewhere isnt out of the question... We hang out a fair bit, but usually neither of us can decide what to do and we end up just fooling around... Neither of us have a lot of money (he's a university student and I just quit my job)...

Any fun ideas?

her parents said they'd pay for the surgery.
now my opinion is noses with bumps and bigger ones give character n can be hot. shes gorgeous.
but under these circumstances, as horrible as she feels would any plastic surgeon perform surgery on a 14 yr old if they were really mature?

My last period was 5 weeks ago, 7 weeks ago I had sex, but used a condom and had to take a morning after pill.
2 months ago I just came off the pill, do you think that would cause it to go out of its normal cycle?
in the past I ahve had problems like this, sometimes my period being 2 months late, other times my period going for 3 weeks long.
I have no symptoms

My 10 month old had a very high fever of 103 - 104.3 last night and tylenol wasn't working so I took her to urgent care. She doesn't have an ear infection, urinary tract infection or infection of the blood. They gave her a shot of antibiotics to be safe and sent us home. Her fever is still just as high 24 hours later and I was curious if anyone knows how long antibiotics take to make any difference? She does have a follow up with her doc in the morn, but I thought maybe someone had some ideas.

She mostly acts up when she doesn't get her way. They send her to time out and she screams, takes her clothes off(even her hair pieces), and sometimes uses the bathroom on herself(she been potty trained for almost a year). NONE OF THIS SHE EVEN THINKS OF DOING AT HOME. I know part of the problem is that they cannot spank her there. I hardly ever have to spank her at home cause she's gotten to the point where she knows her boundaries. So I figured if I no longer spanked her at home and just talked to her then their method would work on her but it only back fired on me. She started to treat me like them. On top of that when she had gotten to the point when she started taking of her clothes they questioned me as if it wasn't normal and something had to be going on at home. I do reward her when she is good with stickers and cookies. They moved her with the kids a year older because she was always the leader and seemed to outgrow the ones her age. It seemed to work but now she is back at it

i am 32 weeks, and getting them. i monitor how long they last, how often i get them, just to be sure that im not having the real thing just yet, parinoid i guess. But does this mean that i am going to go a little early. Not derastically early, but like a few days to weeks. i know from others that they got them and went early. i'm scared to have her early considering i want her to be healthy.

know how she should discipline her.

In the past she would withhold her Christmas gifts, but she doesn't want to go that route. Because now my sister has been doing very well.

My sister use to be a C and D student, but now she is almost on the honor roll. Her attitude has changed as well. She hasn't gotten into any trouble until now.

My mom wants to give Christmas presents to my sister and punish her in another way, but doesn't know how. Any suggestions?

(My sister and her friend are 17 and 16 and were trying to shoplift thong underwear)

I am a single parent and pay $1200/month for rent. I am a nurse. I am having a lot of trouble paying my bills and keeping up with all the other things (such as food and entertainment). My sister has asked me to move in with her until I can catch up on bills, but my 14 year old son is dead set against it. Is there any way to persuade him to change his mind? I know that moving is hard, but I have no family near me (besides him) and he is stuck at home while I work as many hours as possible to make ends meet. Any suggestions?

My girlfriend has been on the pill for a week and we got close to having unprotected sex on the 7th day she was on the pill. There might have been some penetration (if hardly any. Most likely not) and I did not ejaculate. Is there still a large risk? We honestly can't figure it out.

Okay look. My girlfreinds parents have a son who is 14. He yells at them and has ADHD with anger pros. He went to boot camp and that made him worse. He controls his parents and was locked up for hitting me. Any ideas on how to help him. And he has a brother thats 10. He is starting to get like him and in fact he is just like him. Maybe even worse. Does any one have any ideas on to help both or the, or just 1 of them. They need your help and the next step was to send him to a lock down camp for good.
