if you want your child to like you, and you want him/her to think you are a cool parent and that they can come to you with ANYTHING and they dont have to hide anything, how should you disipline them? (i'm not sure i spelled that right lol) please and thank you!

I went off birth control pills in July, had a couple periods that were 30-35 days. I used the ovulation kit to know that I ovulated 12/1/06 and still have not gotten my period. I am not pregnant. I have had a few "spots" a couple times, but definately no period. I am wondering what may be going on. When should I see a doctor? How long should you wait before you don't get a period to tell them? I know that there is something to "jump start" your period... But I don't know if it's silly being only 2 months. Any ideas?

What do you think should happen to this mother?
This mother's child (toddler) was found wondering on an interstate in Indiana only a soiled diaper, shirt and no shoes. Thank goodness a by passer called it in and stopped and retrieved the child before he was hit by a passing car. Its been on the news and very heartbreaking. How could a mother be so careless and let her toddler run free while she is asleep? I will have nightmares about this.

Does anyone here use NFP to prevent pregnancy? I have done some research, but would like to hear from the masses. Does it require a lot of effort? The information I have found says that used correctly, it is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Has anyone used it correctly and still gotten pregnant?

I want to learn it because of my religious convictions, but I really, really, really can't afford to get pregnant any time soon. I am married, and have a three year old and want to wait until I finish school before having another child. Can someone give me some first hand knowledge?

I was just reading some questions, and it seems like all the women on here seem to think that men are to be responsible for 100% of a child's expenses and some of the mother's expenses. I'm not saying that all women are like this, I've just noticed an increased number of them. They seem to think that since they are female, they deserve custody of the children and expect a man to work 3 jobs to support the child and the mother. If the women are so much better at being a parent, and think that they automatically deserve custody, why don't they deserve the responsibilites that come with being a parent. I feel that women have too much power when it comes to children. And they tend to use the children as a weapon during a divroce or separation. I know I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this quetion and probably not get an honest answer, but please put emotions aside and answer honestly. By the way I'm happily married, so don't think I have any bias.

I noticed this evening that my son has a raised pimple like rash over the trunk of his body. Some of them feel like they have a very tiny head though there are no blisters. I found a small bump on his wrist yesterday and he now has a few on his arms and legs also. Could it be the start of chickenpox? Also, if it is, what are the risks to his dad who has never had it?

Ok so have you ever had a best friend that has "broken up" with you. Like, told you she doesn't want to be your friend anymore? My best friend did this yesterday and I still don't know why. Her boyfriend, Taylor, told me that she completely hates me, but I have NO clue why! Like, I know we get into alot of fights, and all, but she has like, no right to "break up" with me!

This is totally the wrong time too, because right now we have: a project that is more then half our grade that we are working on with together with this other girl; a People to People trip this summer where we're spending like.... 3 weeks together; and another project in English, that I would like to get a good grade on.

Why did she just HAVE to do this now?? And how can I get her to be my friend again?? Because this is really BIG! she won't even talk to me and she blocked me on IM and she doesn't pick up her home or cell phone. I have NO way of contacting her. So what do I do??
Plus: She is ganging up on me

I have a bicornuate uterus, meaning it's heart shaped and I can only carry in 1/2 my uterus... so far everything is ok, and they just give me an ultrasound every few weeks to make sure all is still well. I have a good chance of having a breech baby meaning I would need a c-section. =(

My question is, for planning a c-section, do doctors normally schedule it, or do they wait up until the last minute and go for it? If they do schedule it, how far along are you about when they will know for sure if you need one or not? Just curious. 25 weeks along now... I have an appt Friday and will be asking them then...

Thanks for any info.

I blink five times in a row when people just normally blink. When I'm in the car, I can't sit in some spots because the light from outside hits it differently in that spot and when it gets into my eyes my body starts to shake for a split second. This has happened all my life. It doesn't just happen in the car, it also happens basically when I'm doing anything. It's weird that I play video games but all the flashing lights don't bother my eyes. What's wrong with my eyes?

P.S. I'm only 13 so don't talk medically, you need to explain things in simpler terms.

Please read this in it's entirety:

- The only occasions on which I could have gotten pregnant would have been the end of July, and the end of August, and the beginging of September, with the last possible time being on Labor Day.

- I have had regular periods every month, with the exception of July being very light, however I had taken ECP that month.

- I have noticed no pregnancy symptoms, except for that my stomach is getting larger and I have had digestive problems (constipation and bloating) - since September/October. I now am convinced I am feeling fetal movement

- I have taken about 5 pregnancy tests between July and November, all negative.

- I went to the gynocologist for an annual exam in November... they did not do a pregnancy test just a normal exam. Wouldn't he have been able to tell?

I am so confused. Any suggestions appreciated!

I had to go on a trip and 13 yo girl messed up. She joined a bad crowd, did some wrong stuff . When I came back she apologized and said she gave in to bad friends and acting wothout thinking decided to experiment some freedom. She agreed what she did was wrong. During my trip she didn't wear a bra and this is a point of conflict. She doesnt like bras and I make her wear cause she really needs and I worry about modesty, shes almost a C cup . She even gave hers away. I grounded for about a month, she obeyed without any rebellion, she knew she was wrong. I got her new bras exactly how I think hers should be, comfortable but w/ much support, full coverage, 4 hooks in the back. She doesnt like but she she didnt complain. He grounding was not bad, I treated her with love, we went out together and talked a lot. Sunday I told her she was forgiven and she got kinda grateful.But I'll keep her in those bras, taking advantage of the fact she's grateful and wont rebe, so she'll get used to them.
