Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 January 2007

I have a 12 year old daughterand sometimesshe has sleepovers with friends.We live not far from the shops.Its a fairly safe community.Should I let them go and have a milkshake by themselves.?At what age and how much freedom do you give 12 year old girls?These girls are fairly responsible.They will be in grade 7 next year and the majority will be travelling long distances to high schools.As a parent I would like them to see movies on their own and dont want to be seen as arestrictive parent but I realise I have a duty of care.We rely on public transport which means I travel with the girls.What are the thoughts of other parents?Their parents work.

What should be the name of our singing group be? We wanna be like the Cheetah Girls. But we're not coppying! I just wanna make that clear! But what should the name be? Our anitials are:

I.S
S.S
S.S
C.M

And we want it to sembalize friendship, fun, and being girls. At fist, we had a different group of girls. And it spelled out S.A.S.S.I. Get it? Sassy! But some of those girls moved away, and some of them aren't friends with us anymore. We were thinking of something like Panda Gurlz where we wear black and white clothing. Or Golden Tigerettes. Where we wear tiger print. But we figured that would be copying the Cheetah Girls. What do you guys think? What should the name be? PLEASE ANSWER!

We had this discussion when we got engaged. I told him I didn't want any children and that by marrying me, he would be guaranteeing himself to a single life, only with me. Well, today, he came up to me and told me that he wanted a baby. He said that it was part of his culture to pass on his traditions to his children and that when we got married, he did not think I was serious and would warm up to the fact eventually. However, I am a professional ballroom dancer and falling pregnant is not good for my career at all. And, bringing a child into the world would tie us down. I've been pregnant once before... before we got married. I got an abortion. I don't know what to do anymore and he says that this is VERY important to him. But my career is extremely important to me. I <3 my job and would not trade it for anything in the world. I am Asian heritage and my husband is of Middle Eastern heritage.
I don't see how bringing a child into the world will change our lives for the better at all.

What are some fun games to play with 3 kids, ages 3,3 and 5, and well there is a baby too. I am baysitting tomorrow for a LONG time, and I don't know what to do with them. I don't want them to watch T.V. all day. I want to play with them and stuff. I am going to bring some fun coloring pages, and a Bible story and coordinationg coloring pages. Maybe some other books and stuff. I just need some easy fun games for little kids with very few kids. I am sure they will have board games of all sorts and stuff. But kids get really bored with their own stuff real quickly (sometimes) oh and two of them are boys and the other is a girl. The younger two are boys and the baby is a boy, the only girl is the five year old. Please HELP!! I need ideas, quickly... Thanks in advance.

I have a 6 month old baby and I want to start the weaning process. She hesitate to try formula because of its taste. She only wants Mommy's milk :(. We have tried lots of tricks but none had worked. Believe me, this has been really, really difficult. My last resource today was to mix 3/4 of breast milk with 1/4 of Enfamil Lipil formula. The first feeding was almost succesfull (she had 4 of 5 oz). The other feedings were succesfull. Am I doing the correct thing? If so, which next steps do you recommend regarding quantity of breast milk and formula, when I should change the quantities, etc. etc. etc...
Thanks!

Me and my boyfriend had attempted to have sex for the first time. After the first 2 minutes of intercourse, he fell out of me, and had told me when he fell out the condom fell off right when he did, and when he tried putting it back on it broke. I've never been pregnant, and I still have 1-2 weeks till my period. He didnt even have pre-***, thats how fast he fell out, but Im still worried. Could I still get pregnant by that? Someone please talk to me, I have no idea what i'd do if I got pregnant now. I know abortion is extream, and adoptions heartbreaking, but I dont have a way to keep the baby. And I wouldnt want to tell my parents if it happens. My boyfriend swears on his life that it didnt break in me, or fall off in me. What should I do? Someone help me =[

I had sex with this guy December 23rd and we didn't use protection. I have never been on birth control. My period was supposed to be the first week of the month and I didn't get it.. Instead, it was just light bleeding off and on for a couple days. I have been feeling very tired lately no matter how much sleep I get and I'm rarely hungry but if I am I just snack and I've been very gassy and constantly dizzy and I have really bad headaches occasionally off and on. I took a home pregnancy test January 11th and it came back negative. It was just a pregnancy test from the dollar store.. could it have been too early to tell?? What do you guys think??? From personal experiences, does it seem like I am? I am only 18 and just really worried about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am pregnant and am having trouble finding clothes that are stylish, different, comfortable and in my price range. Did or does anyone have these problems? If so, what did you want to find, where did you find it and what at what pricing? Basically, if you designed maternity clothes; what would they be like?

I wonder this because a few weeks ago i took my 5 year old son to a birthday party and i stayed and so did all or most of the other moms. But one mom just left her son there. This party was at a public place not a persons house. This mom also brought her son over to my house one day and i was suprised how trusting she was to just leave him with us, without knowing us. Is this normal. Do other people drop their kids off anywhere. At what age do you start just dropping your kid off places?
