Pregnancy & Parenting - 31 December 2006

I am doing a paper for school- about how it has been made almost impossible to stay at home to take care of children due to society as well as government.
If you are a stay at home parents, I would really like you to answer the following questions
-Why did you decide to stay at home?
-How can you afford to be able to stay at home?
-What did you do before you had children?
-What is your social life like?
-How long to you plan on staying at home?
-Do you think the government should help stay at home parents more? (Such as paid maternity leaves)

For parents that are not stay at home
-Do you want to be?
-Do you think you could handle staying at home?
-Do you think the government should help stay at home parents more? (Such as paid maternity leaves)

I have many more questions, and if you are willing, I would really appreciate to have e-mail conversation or IM conversations.
Thank you a lot in advance.

When a guy who claims he is a virgin is really good in bed, does it mean he has lied through out the relationship?? Cuz if he is a virgin how is he so good??
He said I was his first.(sex partner)
How can a virgin guy be good??
I mean, why would he lie?? Is it possible he is just good??
Every guy I have ever been with has been shy about being a virgin but he is ok with it so I don't think he is lying, but doesn't it take experience to get better??
Why would he lie about being a virgin??
He was better than my ex who had been with someone before me.
Don't most guys lie and say they are not virgins??
I AM NOT A ****.
I make a guy wait a while for sex.
He doesn't lie about anything else

I've been using a digital therm. taking my temp. orally, but I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating, and the therm. didn't show a spike in temp. Any ideas? Do you think it may show tom.? Is it ok to take temp. orally? My mother said when she did it (which was 23 years ago and she didn't have a digital therm.) She had to take the temp. rectally. Please help.

I'm a mother of 3 kids,2 girls and a boy.The oldest girl is 12.In summer she was raped and unfortunately she got pregnant.We spoke to the doctor and he says it's more dangerous if she aborts the baby and she would better give birth.Now(she is in 6th month) we found out that she is having quadruplets!That's 4 babies!My daughter didn't want to save the baby and wanted to give him/her for adoption but when she heard they are 4(it was like her best luck in the world),she decided to keep them.That means 7 children in the family(including her).I agreed because after the trauma of rapind,she has the right to decide what to do with the babies.Now (in 6th month) her belly is bigger than mine in 9th month.She has great difficulty moving and doing anything.How can I help her physically and how can I prepare her for the 4 babies?

Alot of the time i wake up and find the breakfast shows bringing up adolesent relationships but it's a shame that some have to spoil it for the rest that dont have sexual interaction and getting pregnant. im 13 and my boyfriend is 14 , we have a normal relationship without the involvement of sex because i do not admire teen pregnancy , Am i still in the wrong to have this relationship because im starting to notice parents arn't up to giving their teens over to start growing up especially some mothers. Anyways please don't leave answers that arn't relative or innapropriate.

My 4month old has slept six hours through the night since we brought her home from the hospital but all of a sudden the past two weeks she has been waking up. I feed her cereal and a 4 oz bottle at 9pm then she goes to bed at 10 she has been waking up every 2 hrs wanting more food (about 2 oz). I don't think it is a growth spurt because of how big she is already(18lbs 9oz and 26in, which the doctor says is perfectly fine). I just want so opinions as to why she is doing this. Thank you!

I have 3 children all in car seats in the back seat. Its very squashy and my 7 month old is still facing backward, making it quite tricky to put him in and do him up. I want to turn his seat forward, but he can't sit up by himself yet, but has head control. Is it too early to turn the seat around? When did other readers do the change???

I am 19 years old. My five year old brother is a monster!! I also have a 6 year old sister and a 7 year old brother. Neither of the other children are like the 5 year old. His name is Robert.

His father is really a bad influence. He is verbally abusive towards my mother and everybody else around him. Though I have taught the other two children to not behave like their father, Robert is just not learning.

Out side, if our sister is on his bike, he'll pick a rock up and throw it at her. Inside, he'll pick up pencils and threaten to stab who ever is bothering him.

I know that it IS possible to teach him differently than what he sees his father doing, as i have done it already with my two other siblings.

I feel that letting this problem go will only cause it to become worse. Over the years my brother has become more and more violent. My mother has no Idea to handle the kids, ever, so it is USUALLY up to me.... help?
