Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 January 2007

my g/f and i have been dating for about 4 and a half yrs, she's 29, im 22 and a half. About 2 weeks ago she informed me that she was preg and will be keeping the baby. she was on the pill the whole time we were dating (allegedly) so i never used a condom or any other type of birth control. i have a few reasons why i think she got preg on purpose the main one being that i ran into a friend of hers yesterday who congratulated me and said she was happy for us b/c "she knew how much my g/f wanted a baby" which was news to me! i just graduated from college and have a good job now and my g/f has been out of college for 7 yrs so financially this isnt a problem, i just am in no way ready to be a dad b/c of the huge change that bringing a child into the world will have on someone's life. just a few month ago she and i were talking about how neither one of us is ready for marriage yet so that isnt an option. on top of this, my mom is gonna kill me! any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

I can't get over this lady I served last night. She was with her two daughters, and a friend with two children. When they first were sitting down, the Mom pushed her daughter because she wasn't going to the seat she wanted her to. The daughter was in tears because she landed up against this pole with a sharp corner. The mom just laughed at her friend, and then shoved her to the seat. Then, I came back one time, the same daughter was in tears again- her look on her face was a cry for help. Then, I came back again, and her other daughter was just screaming. The Mom put her hands covering this young girl's mouth really hard saying shut up shut up shut up!!! I wasn't sure if that was enough to report it, but I did. I had to give my name and phone number, so I was wondering if this lady who I reported will know my name or anything like that- I wouldn't think so, but I'm just curious. I think her pushing the one girl just did it, I have a baby, and I could never do anything like that

I am in love with and committed to another girl. We have been best friends since 2nd grade, and starting last year we became romantic and sexual with each other. I still go out with guys and have sex with guys, a lot, and I really enjoy it, but I am only able to have a meaningful romantic relationship with a girl. I'm 15 and I'm pretty sure I am going to marry her. My parents aren't willing to accept this. What should I do?

We have been ttc so there is a chance but I didn't think the spotting could be implanation bleeding so soon after ovualtion. Everywhere I look they say at least 7 days after ovulation for the implanation to happen. and now today I have tender breasts. I am sure of when I ovulated. I was using the ovulation kits and charting my temp and cervical mucus. I made an appointment at my dr but they won't see me for 3 weeks for a check up. So I'm looking for some reassurance that this isn't something horrible and if anyone went through this before. Thanks in advance.

I mean if all goes well and I don't need to have one, I think I'd rather bare the pain of child birth. What are your thoughts and your experiences having an epidural? Thanks :)

Ok - i'm 29wks pregnant with my first child and the father-to-be and I still enjoy a healthy active sex life. Last night, after orgasm, my stomach started... well ... i want to say contracting but i don't know if this is the right word? It was like muscle tightening all across my abdomen. It wasn't really painful or anything - just a strong uncomfortable feeling that came and went for a few mins and then stopped as suddenly as it started.

Any one else experience anything similar? I'm curious as to what this could be? I'll mention it to the doc but thought someone out there might know too!

Thanks.

I am a stay at home mother of two. People seem to think that I am available 7 days 24 hours a day to them. They call me and when they don't reach me, they catch an attitude and say "I called you, where were you, and what were you doing!" They act like I have nothing to do and my life should be dedicated to them. Most of the time I don't have time to be chasing the telephone around the the house when I'm managing a 2 yr old and 5 mo old. I usually turn the ringer off so it doesn't wake the kids during nap time, and when I do get a quick break to myself the last thing I want to hear is the phone ring. Does anyone else have this problem?

Ok, my children live with me full time. There father lives with his mother and they live in a small camper trailer so my kids cant go there to visit him. I allow him to come and stay at my place every other weekend so he can see the kids. Well While i am gone for the week he lets the kids break all the rules. They are ages 3, 5, and 7. So they do know the rules. I have also gone over the rules with him. And to top it off, he lets them eat all the lunch food. I support them with out any help from him so it makes me so mad because i cant afford that. I know there are alot of people who would say dont let him see the kids, this and that but they need to have there father in there life. Any advise on what is best?

She has very very fine hair, kinda curly. (towards the bottom) It gets tangled so easily. When she wakes up, it's really matted and when I brush it she just screams. I have used all kinds of detanglers and different kinds of combs and brushes. What are your secrets??

! have two children ages 10 months to 27 months. I have been really busy with my daughter, because we have to go to physical therapy every week for a problem she has, I'm trying to potty train my son, I always have two dogs also, and one is 8 months old and not potty trained. In the winter the dog stays in at night in our laundry room. Every time I wake up, there is four or five craps in the room and pee everywhere! We just resuced this dog. I can't potty train it. My routine is waking up around 7:30 am and cleaning from that point on. My son makes small spills and I am constantly cleaning up, my son tries to help, but makes the mess worse. It's okay as long as he is helping. My husband changes 3 times a day and throws the clothes everywhere. He is always mad that he doesn't have clothes. I can't maintain a life with my kids and clean constantly like he wants. What should I do? He is like a hurricane when he comes home, he goes to work and I have to clean his mess over and over again
