I have a 9 year old daughter in 4th grade and a paper came home from the school for teaching sex education. Of course you need to either give permission for her to participate or do another study during this time. What do you think of school sex education? Of course I will do what I feel is best I just want to know if any of your children have had this class or are going to be having this class. I thought I was in Jr. High when I had a sex ed class. What are your experiences good or bad having your child have this class or do you want your child to have this class when in the 4th grade.

I've heard most insurance companies won't cover the pregnacy if you get insurance after you find out. My gyno of 7 years does not except Medicaid and I don't want to switch. My main concern is having to pay for hospital bills. Are there any insurance companies that will cover only hospital bills???

My daughter is in Kinder and we just moved from Texas to Washington and in Texas she had a full day of school since Pre-k. In washington its 2 1/2 hours only and they dont teach them nearly as much as they do in texas. She's already reading little words and they really haven't taught her anything like that here in Washington. What's ur opinion on this.

How did your first trimester symptoms in your 2nd pregnancy compare to your first trimester symptoms in your 1st pregnancy?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have been less symptomatic this time. Only slight nausea, not as much breast tenderness, etc.

Do you think it will stay this way?

Long story short - 1st marriage, divorce - have an 11 yr old son. 2nd marriage, husband died - have 5 yr old daughter. Son's dad lives across the country. How do I get my son from "parenting" my daughter. He tries to tell me how to parent, what discipline to dole out, etc. I am at my wits end trying to tell him to be an 11 yr old and let me parent.

I started giving my daugther oatmal cereal, she had rice cereal for a month, now I m giving the oatmeal. I find that it has changed her bowel movements though, before she went once a day, now it seems every other day. Is that ok? Should I stop the oatmeal, or is it normal for bowel movements to change once they start different foods?

My child constantly all day long asks me for ice chips. ( crushed ice) Someone had told me that they remembering reading something about that problem and that it is a sign of something. Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm pregnant with my second child, due in a month actually.

For the past few months, my daughter has had "babies in her tummy." She mimics me by rubbing her tummy, saying that things are good for her baby, etc. She'll even say that she is having two babies, a boy and a girl, and their names.

From talking to other moms, this seems fairly normal, and that isn't what concerns me. What I'm worried about is what is going to happen when she doesn't have her babies. My daughter is a drama queen and I'm worried that this could become a big problem.

Will this just fizzle out on its own after her brother arrives? Is there anything I can do to help the situation?

I just got of the phone with my OB's 'doctor on call'. I explained i'm 19 wks pg and have been constipated for 2-days and had torn interanlly. He told me to do a suppository, which i already had but it made me bleed and the pain was excrutiating. So he said to do a water enema but as i'd told him the external pain is incredible and is making me vomit and shake. But since he's not my regular OB (who won't be in office till tomorrow) this was all he could tell me. Well, i finally got my bowel issue sorted today but the external pain is still of the chart. I can't sit proporly and i'm swollen and i'm wondering if there are any creams i can use. I'm still not familiar with American pharmaceuticals and now i can't get that OB back on the phone for advice. I used a Douche to clean the external area which helped but i think i need a cream to sooth the burning and irritation. I'm so sorry for the tmi but i can not get this doctor back on the line and i'm really sore.
Thank you in advance.

My husband and I were just given custody - most likely temporary - of a distant relative. He is 3 1/2 and was beaten viciously by his mother and stepfather (He just got out of the hospital 2 weeks ago) He is very quiet and well-behaved, but we've had him for 2 weeks and he's still terrified of us. We have never raised a hand or our voices to him and give him his space, but he still cries or whimpers and cowers away if we even go near him. It breaks my heart! I am home with him all day so it seems like he should be used to me by now and not as scared of me. I have no experience dealing with abused children, so if anyone has any tips on how to make him more at ease or how to handle abused kids in general, they would be greatly appreciated. (He already goes to counseling twice a week)

my daughter is 2 1/2. she takes her clothes and diaper off when she goes to the bathroom. she knows how to completely operate a toilet. the usually tells me when she goes to the bathroom, etc....she's ready. but she refuses to go in the potty. its really starting to get to me. she just simply won't go to the potty. i have her sit on it every hour / hour in a half. i ask her if she needs to go potty frequently also. even if her potty is right next to her when she has to go she would rather pee all over herself then sit on it (she wears plastic panties).
can someone please give me some advice? i would greatly appreciate it!

We broke up a week ago and we still act like we together, but as real close friends, but anyways...I was on the phone telling him how I had nothing to live for and how depressed I was about my miscarraige from a year ago and abortion two years ago. He then offered to get me pregnant saying that he wants a little boy cause he already has a little girl who means the world to him. I told him no thank you, but now I'm reconsidering...should I take him up on his offer? he's really a great great guy and we get along well, just better as friends.

The majority of us dont set out to become a single mum, but the few that do, make it harder for the rest of us. We are not all teenagers who dont care about our kids!
Being a single mum is a hard enough job, without having to defend ourselves all the time!
When we go to work, we are criticised for leaving our children in daycare all the time, but if we dont go to work, then we are criticised for scrounging off the government! I am a single mum on government benefits, and also a full time mature student. I am going back to education and want to go to uni, but people have criticised me for leaving my kids in nursery, and called me selfish! If i was a married mum, with a husband or family member to look after the kids, then no-one would moan about me going to uni, so why should i have to sit on my bum and then get moaned at for that!!! Any comments please!
