Which do you prefer, knowing the sex of the baby or waiting?

We have a 8 month old son which we found out the sex at 18 weeks. We really wanted to know which we were having since it was our first and we wanted some of te basics. Plus it helped making it more real knowing we were having a son. I think with the next one it would be cool to wait til delivery to know the sex. I just wondered if those that have had it both ways have any insights on which they liked better. Thanks

What do I do about my 3 year old flopping on ground?

My three year old daughter flops herself on the ground or floor and refuses to get up when I am trying to get her to go where I need her to go. It is driving me crazy. I am 7 months pregnant and cannot pick her up or wrestle with her. My instinct is to just drag her so she gets the idea that not moving won't work but I am afraid of how other people would react to that. Any advice?

A mad scientist (me), puts you into a position where you have to choose between two options.?

He has set the situation so that you can prevent the medication induced abortion of an embryo within a young woman or the euthanasia of Koko (the sign language gorilla http://www.koko.org/ ).

That is all you know. And you have to act.

Yes, that means that you don't know that the woman chose to be there anymore than Koko did. Therefore, I reject any answer that simply assumes she is there of her own accord, because that is unclear.

THIS IS A REVISION OF THE QUESTION.

Early sex dertermination with blood work?

Has anyone heard of babygendermentor.com? It is a blood test that checks for male/female DNA/RNA in the mothers blood as early as 5 weeks into pregnancy. It costs $275 ($25 non-refundable kit & $250 lab fees) It also offers a full refund if the results are incorrect - the site claims the test is 99.9% accurate because it analyzes DNA / RNA. If only female DNA is present, baby must be a girl, and if both female and male are present it is a boy. Please give me any opinions and what you may know, I am really interested in determining sex early and I am only 9 weeks along.

My friend is 18 weeks pregnant, and had a miscarriage a few days ago. It kind of peaked my curiousity, but I do not want to pry, or ask any questions that could upset her because she is devestated. But I was sitting and wondering... what happens when you miscarry late like that? Thanks

How do I get my 2 year old to stay in her bedroom?

My 2 year old daughter always escapes her bedroom in the middle of the night. We have a childproof doorknob thingy on the inside of her room, but she gets by that. We think it's cruel to have a lock on her door. And no, a gate will not work...we have already tried it!

For Parents (and kids), why do you always say "it was safer back when I was a kid"?

Ok- my parents and many others are always saying that I cannot do things that they could because "it was safer when I was a kid"
Ok-
the murder rate is no higher than 40 years ago.
Cars have gotten SAFER, not more dangerous (seatbelts werent around back then)
yes teen pregnancy is up from back then, but it has gone down for the past 5 years straight.
Drugs and smoking are LESS of a problem. (hippies=druggies)
Rapes, abductions, etc. have not increased, only the media coverage has.

Look at statistics. This is NOT a card that parents sohuld be playing.
What do you think/give some other reasons.
