I don't understand why some people talk about single/young/unwed mothers like we are a diseased species of the world or something. We have feelings like the rest. We all went through the pain of labor and rejoiced when our little bundles arrived. We breathe the same air and do everything like married/older women who have children. I personally think this type of stereotyping is wrong. Why is it anyone else's business what other's do?? If it doesn't affect your life then it shouldn't matter, right?? You would think so. What will I not be accepted by society until I am married to the father of my child?? Personally I find this really insulting and I think this type of behavior is wrong and I sure hope that the people who do this don't teach their children to be as judgmental. For the ones who know you do this why don't you take a long look in the mirror and when you are flawless and haven't made a single mistake then you can judge until then get to know someone first.

I know that infants have different types of poops. I don't know if I should be concerned about this. I did a yahoo search but came up empty.
My daughters poops are often different. One day, they'll be like mustard, the next day, they will be a thick green. Tonight, after her bottle, she had a poop and I changed her. It was yellow and watery and it had mucus (darker greenish colour) in it. There wasn't very much, but enough that I am concerned.
I wasn't playing with it, but I took the diaper and touched it to see the consistancy and it stretched. It sort of looked like and was the consistancy of a females discharge when she is ovulating.
Any ideas? Serious answers only please :)
Thanks!

I just wonder if people find that spanking can be very positive. I find that my child is a funny. She is happy 99% of the time. We have not found any child happier than her around us. But she often shows very bad behaviours after a long time without spanking. Other measures loose effectiveness. So my wife gave the child lots of warnings over many days (all in vain). Then my wife spanks the child. Suddenly the child is in her best behaviours and seems to love her mother even more. The child could see that the spanking actually hurts her mother emotionally a lot more than the physical hurt of her own.
My conclusion is that my own child does not mind being spanked occasionaly when she becomes very badly behaved out of reasons she does not even know herself. As long as she feels that the care and love she is getting is infinitely larger than the occasional spanking, she has no problem with it at all.

I had intercourse and my boyfriend came in me. I was expecting my period the same week. We did the same thing late that same week and the day after, I got my period. It's heavy like a normal period. But I've been feeling nausous and bloated. I've been sleeping more and food hasn't been looking too good. Some days my breats would feel sore and some days it would be normal. Could I be pregnant?

Which of the two is better? My oldest is 35 pounds and I know here in the next 6 months to a year she will have to get a booster seat. Her carseat is only good until she hits 40 pounds. I have the shoulder belts in my minivan so I figured the high-back seats would be best but I have no clue. What do you recomend?

My baby had a cold and the doctor prescibed him some antibotics. My baby went in the frig and somehow opened the bottle and took it all. I don't think it was much in there because I had been giving him medicine everyday. But I am just scared that he overdosed. He is still playing around like he normally do. And it's been about 15 or 20 minutes. Please somebody give me some advice.....

Help! I have always wanted another child. I already have a 7yr. old daugher who is amazing, but feel that our family would be complete with another child. My daughter would love a sibling and I would love to raise another child. I've considered all of my optios... sperm donor (may not work), adoption (so expensive) and adopted thru the foster care system (children with lots of issues and usually siblings). Financially, i can make it work, but it would be tight. I don't want to marry for this reason, so being a single mom is my only option at this point. A bonus : I'm a teacher and work great hours and have summers off, but I know it would still be very difficult. I stay awake at nights surching for an answer. Any input would be most helpful!

My little girl is 16 months old and is throwing some big temper tantrums and I don't know how to respond to them. She isn't talking yet (other than gibberish and a few words) so when I kneel down to tell her 'no you cannot do that' she just totally ignores me and continues screaming, kicking, throwing herself to the floor, etc. My hubby and I can't even take her in town with us to a store or out to eat because of these huge tantrums she throws and I just feel so bad. In the stores she tries to run away from us because she wants to be independent and in the restaurants she squirms to get out of her chair and then starts screaming. Does anyone else have a little one like this??? Thanks!

My 2 1/2 year old daughter is obsessed with soap (of any kind) lotions and chap stick. I've told her that soap is for washing only,and lotion is just for grown ups but she just keeps taking them and lathering up. I've had to take everything away and put them on the counter or top of the fridge. It is an inconvenience so I was wondering if anyone had any serious tips on how to curb this obsession of hers. The chap stick is not so bad as I can just stop giving it to her, but we need to have soap in our house. HELP!

I feel my baby move everyday, but usually his movements are light, soft movements. Is this normal at 32 weeks? My friends at this stage were always complaining about strong movements. Could it be different bc I was chubby before pregnancy and they were thin?

I have two step children -boys one 14, one 11 1/2 they watch cartoons all the time. The cartoon characters baby talk. The context is stuped. I am fine with Simpsons, Family Guy but this other baby type cartoons drives me crazy. I have had other family members comment that they are to old for this type of cartoons they watch. Am I over acting? oh by the way when their mother talks to them she treats them like they are four years old.
