My daughter has always been smart, but recently, she asked me if she could date an 8th grader. She always walks out of school with him, it's just that, is 12 a bit too young?

My 5 & 3 yr.-old daughters are extremely misbehaved when we go to the grocery store, mall,...etc. They run around like they are free from everything. I am so afraid that some "wierdo" will take 1 or both of my daughters when they are running around. A leash is an option, but I'm afraid that someone will report me for having a leash on them. And, of course, I can't spank them when we're out in public anymore. I don't want to go to jail for disciplining my own children. I could do what my father did when I was young...throw myself on the floor & throw a fit. I don't want to go to the "looney bin"!!! That is where I'll be when it comes to now days!!!!!! I can't afford "The Nanny" either!! Wish I could!
Help before I put myself in the "looney bin"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm due April 25th and everything has been going really good. How's everyone feeling that is 25 weeks or around there? Does your baby move lots? Is this your first? Just thought this would be some fun questions! :) Also when are you due in April?

I am pregnant with my 2nd child. The father of my first child is not in the picture nor has he ever been. My son is now 3 years old and pursuing him for child support would only confuse him. This is the thing I have health insurance through my husband but it turned out not to be that good. It would cost us $400 for the first 5 doctor visits without delivery cost or a sonogram. I have applied for medicade and they are telling me I have to fill out an absent parent form for my 3 year olds father so they can find him for child support. I don't want anything from him. As soon as my husband and I save enough money he is going to adopt my son. How can I still get help without giving them a name?

okay you guys probably know i answer alot on here but now i have a question. a thought has been nagging at my mind all day and now i think i can confirm it. last night when i got back from lazer tag at about 12:30 i was a bout to go to bed when i heard sot noises comeing out of my sisters room i thought she waas in there making out with her boyfriend, he sneeks in sometimes. (yes i said make out they hadn't had sex before) so i went to sleep but this morning she was really happy and she sang a lot during church and then left to go to he library. i was on the computer for awile but my mom just told me to get her dirty clothes and when i went in her room it smelled like sex and there was small stains on her sheets. i was so shocked because the sounds made sense now. is this enough evidence to assume she had sex because i don't want to confront her and be wrong. help!

I was invited to a dinner party, hosted by a couple with a nine year old son. During the evening, the son came and asked for a lager, and his mother poured him out a pint of Carlsberg! Then he took it to bed. Weird or what?

For no reason at all he will bang his head. He loves to head butt. He does bang his head when he is throwing a fit and is very aggressive. I have 4 kids, 8-5-2-1. I have never had one do this. The doctor says remove him from the situation and that it is normal. I am so scared he is going to hurt himself.

I am getting anoyed with this situation & really need to know if I am right or paranoid
One night over the xmas holidays, I heard things being thrown @ my window, when I went to the door (followed by my 5yr old child) I opened it & an old friend was trying to smash my window with my C bike & a stool, her hsbnd was standing @ my gate keeping watch for her. No objects worked; she was drunk & the stool top hit; not the legs, the bike just hit the bricks at the side of the window. It took ages to get her out the yard, she shouted & contd 2 throw things rund
We fell out in november. However her husband is the caretaker at my C school ( I am also a govenor there) my C no's the bike broke coz of her & mentions it all the time, I rung the head on the 1st day back & she said she would 'just change subject if child talked bout it' but there is only 11 kids in school, ctaker & my C see each other lots thru the day, C no's he was there coz he was shoutin @ me 2, Should he have done this

First of all, I am 30+ years old. I have a great career and I am finishing my final degree. I am in love with a wonderful man that dotes on me despite my shortcomings. My son is doing terrific and he is starting to look toward colleges and his own life. Here is the problem, for the last week, I have been sick to my stomach, dizzy and going to the bathroom constantly. I am a week late. I love the man in my life but I am looking foward to finishing my parenting responsibilities. Financially, I can afford to take care of a child. Emotionally I cannot. It is too much for eighteen years. It would not be fair to this child at all. First, I do not agree with abortion but I am carefully considering it. Please tell me anything that this can be other than what I think that it is. Have anyone actually gone through this and not have been pregnant. If so what was it. I am afraid to take a pregnacy test. If you have had an abortion, how did you cope with it? Any other options?

I am about 5-6 weeks and have been spotting lightly for about a week or so, it is mainly visible when I wipe. Is this a sign of miscarriage and if so, how long do miscarriages take to complete? I have no pain or cramping but have been vomitting more than usual.

A few days I ago I issued a "bed time" for my two month old. We were all going to bed to late (between 1130 and 1230). I didn't think it would be a big deal as all it would be is bathtime then feeding then going to bed by 830 instead of 1130. Since starting this she has been more fussy. She also is harder to get to take naps. As well as harder to please. Is she just adjusting to the new schedule or should I just go back to the old one?
