I was walking home from school in 9th grade and a kid who is my size in 7th grade threw a rock at my head and hit me from 70 feet away, dazing me a bit. But I kept on moving home. I found out that he wanted to fight me. When I was 7 this kid was in a crowd of kids who surrounded me to get me to "fight" this 50 lb gorilla from the next road over. I weighed 30 lbs. He swung first and I ducked just like I had seen on Sparky and the Gang. So I swung and hit him in the nose and blood flew everywhere. I thought I had killed him and ran to my mother and he and the other kids ran to the next street. Anyway the 7th grader went home and I went home and told my dad about it. He told me that I should just fight the kid. I did not want to and convinced my dad to go over and talk to his dad to get this ended. My dad did and the kid never bothered me again. My reasoning was that if I won that fight, someone else would want one...Wyatt Earp thing.

My son is 14 months old. I am breastfeeding him but am torn on weaning him or continuing.

Reasons I want to continue:
-better for his health
=more natural - humans aren't meant to drink cows milk

Reasons I want to wean:
-his latch is correct (have got it checked by a LC) but he is leaving teeth imprints and it hurts
-so he can start going for sleepovers with his grandparents. Oldest DS started sleepovers when he was 11 months old.
-I've just been feeling weirded out by it.

He takes a sippy cup fine, but he is still very dependant on breastfeeding. Seems to really enjoy it. I nurse him usually around 4-6 times during the day and 3 times at night. Not sure if I would wean during the day first or night.

I know that it's not possible to make a child breastfeed....but I wonder if I'm more attached than he is. He's my last baby and I get sad at all of the new milestones he accomplishes.

Any advice?

I started seeing a guy, who was 40. I'm 23, soon to be 24. I just found out, I'm pregnant with his child. We haven't been together a month yet...but he's assured me that he wants to be with me (hinting at the 'M' word) But obviously I feel like this is moving too fast. He's never been married, no children, great job and a fun, athletically built man. I must admit that he is in 20 times better shape sexually and physically then any 20 or 30 something man I've dated. So I guess what I'm confused about is, whether I should continue this pregnancy----knowing that my child's father will look like a grandaddy and I'll still be a hot mama. Also, I am NOT into him for money or lucrative benifits, because I feel he has more to gain by being with a younger woman, than I do by being with a older man. I just don't want to make a HUGE mistake and forever be attached to this 'old' man, while I may miss my call at younger, mutual age love. Any expereinced advice would be PREFERRED...Thanks a BUNCH!!!

I dont get why some parents dont mind it all unless you come home and wake up safe the next morning. Those parents only get mad if stuff gets broken or they get caught which is very understandable. Then there are other parents who will hear rumors of you drinking and go crazy about it. They dont want you to have a social life even though when they were kids they did the same things. I just dont understand the thoughts running through there minds. If you dont do it every weekend or when you do come home your not trashed and can walk straight I dont see a problem.

I just changed my birth control 3 weeks ago. I was on ortho tri cyclen Lo and I changed to the regular ortho tri cyclen. My bc didn't lapse. I changed b/c I was having some problems with the lo dose. Anyway, this would normally be my ovulation week...if I were not on bc. But, I've noticed all day that I've had cramps on my right side off and on. They hurt but are very short. It is not a dull cramp. I can tell exactly where it is. Could I be ovulating??

Today,my 11 year old daughter has told me she has been spitting up. she wrote a paper about it in school. Now the school counsel want to talk to me about this. I did not know anything about this. I know since she was a child she has had acid reflux and that causes her to spit up from infancy. ok now what do I do.. what are my options..

ok feel a bit of a weirdo asking this but there is a reason.

Yesterday i had Marriage Prep and we were upto the topic of Sex and Children (Yay!! Could it be any more embarassing lol!!!) anyhoo me and the lady of the couple who me and my fiance meet with were discussing about the Combined Pill - When i was younger i had migraines i think my last was in about 2002 (i remember cos i was still taking history lol) however it's hereditary in my family (my mum, uncle and grandma all suffer). I read this page http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000853/ and it talks about how you are at higher risk of stroke if you have migraines and take the pill.

Now i dont get this a stroke is a blood clot which forms in the brain, then theres a part in the Combined Pill, which works as a blood thinner so how can you clot and have thin blood at the same time!!!!!

I am going to the Doc's in the next week ish but i thought i may as well ask if anyone had any idea!!!
