If a girl goes up to a guy friend and traces his chest with her fingers, plays with his hair, lets him put his arms around her, and you liked her, would you think it meant she liked him??
Is it wrong to do this with your ex who still likes you even though you know you will never give him a second chance
Is it wrong to just flirt and have no attachment??

We just found out that our blood work came back with a low AFP count. The doctors said we might have a Down's Syndrome child. Just looking for anyone who might have had a normal child even when they had a low AFP count.

would you survive if.....you fell off a moving truck, rolled into a ditch, a hobo came over and started licking your toes, and he took an ax and started hacking your leg off!

Most sites say 2-3 times a week is enough, but they dont say if every day is too much, or bad for the quality of the sperm! So is every day or every other day too much or better?

My daughter refuses to sleep in her own bed ever since we moved, but that was 18months ago. Her crib was in our room at the old house, but now she has a bedroom all of her own now, but she doesn't want to sleep in her bed. I have made the mistake of not forcing the issue because I have to get up at 4:30 to get ready for work. How can I undo this horrible mistake?

I am about 6 wks preg and I am having like little sharp pains down my lower sides of my stomache, like almost where my pelvis is. They don't hurt real bad, they are just real sudden and quick and go away and then come back. I am not bleeding or anything like that. But I do have a dull lower back ache. Is that growing pains and normal?? Thanks

If intercouse did not take place, but clothes were off, and a con dom was worn... after 4 weeks from the date of foreplay what would be the signs of being pregnant? how soon would morning sickness occur? and if the period runs as nromal does this mean she is unlikely to be pregnant? for sometime she feels like throwing up, she has a cough, and a real bad sore throat with body aches...but she has not thrown up .. just feels like it.. what can it be?

I was considerably late last month, under a ton of stress, and was late by 14 days give or take a few. Plane rides, transferring, finals, then the stress of being late. Anxiety attacks came back that month as well. I took hpts on the 6, 7, 8, and 10th days late. All negative and not pregnant. One taken by a nurse (urine). The others were a mix of first response and clear easy. I started a light period on the 14th day missed, it went on to get heavier for one day (filling tampons, sry if thats too much info but i had a steady flow) and then it switched to more lightish and lasted a good 6 or 7 days. That was about a week or so ago that it ended. Should I still be worried despite the negative tests and getting a period? My periods are usually heavier, or i might just be thinking that because i was worried. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I took mylanta gas because my stomach was hurting so bad, It felt like my ribs were going to crack......I felt I didn't have a choice.I am wondering, do you think this harmed the baby? I took 2 tablets one day and the next day I took 1 or 2 tablets (chewable). It says online that it may possibly be linked to heart defects if used in the first trimester....Im worried, please help.

My son keeps licking peoples hands when ever he meets them . When he is first introduced he sniffs their butt and barks like a dog. Even in the store he does this! My boss is coming over to meet my family in 9 hours and I can't have him sniffing his butt!

Hi! Since my husband and I have decided to throw out our old crib, we need to decide on a money saving alternative before the baby comes. I will be having a c-section, and plan on using a bassinet of some sort initially. We are also trying to save a bit of space, as we don't have an additional room for the baby (he'll be in our to start with, and then share his older sister's room later). I would love your input on this co-sleeper, especially: pros, cons, how long your baby used it (plus apprx weights), and if the side permanently stays down??? I do know that I want a bassinet bcs I'll be breastfeeding, and I will eventually buy a crib, I just cannot decide if this one is worth the investment (can I use it longer than 3-4 months?) Is it better to buy a pack and play version??? Thanks in advance for your time and help!

I have custody of my two children from a dissolved marriage. My problem is personal where I get disturbed very easily by what I hear is going on. You see, how much do I have a right to complain, or should I take steps if I feel uncomfortable with what is going on at their mother's place?

My main concerns being:

1. She is inconsistent in visitation, and backs out 3-4 times a month. She is supposed to visit overnight with them 2-3 times a week.

2. Her current boyfriend drinks moderately. Last time I went to pick up my boys there was a half empty can on the table with their mother in the other room.

3. She is taking them overnight in a one room motel room. Her boyfriend stays with them and they put up a "blanket" between the two bed areas so they can do their "hanky panky".

Am I being overprotective? Or am I being correctly cautious? Do I have any rights, I mean seriously is this enough grounds to take this to court and perhaps suggest different arrangements?

My son is 15 months and he just recently started throwing temper tantrums- sitting on the floor really hard, sometimes throwing himself backwards, kicking his legs, so I was curious how everyone else delt with them, what you did or didn't do. I'm not about spanking, so I will not do that. And I've found ignoring him helps a lot (as long as he isn't hurt).

Also- how long did this last?

my 6 month olds arm was out its socket this morning. I took him to chiropractor and she adjusted it. He crawls and was wondering if he should be on his fours today because his arm is still so loose.
How long will it still be loose for and what should I refrain him from doing? Thanks

I have two sons from a marriage that is now dissolved. She moved out on us. She has had two boyfriends since moving out and her current one and herself are struggling financially. They live in a one room motel room.

Problem I am having is my kids are resenting the fact that they can pretty much do whatever they want at their mom's, and I have rules. It's becoming a huge behavior problem as well. I have relented and given them a more flexible time with watching television and what not, but her policies of constant tv time and whatever they want for food, are very different then mine and I strongly feel this way.
I have primary custody she has visitation 2-3 times a week. What can I do to stop my kids from resenting me for not letting them have unlimited tv and video games?
