that's whats happening in new jersey and parents are outraged. their showing these little kids a film called "that's a family" and it deals w/ homosexual couples and their kids. telling our children basically that 2 men or 2 women is alright.
what do you think of it?

I have a 10 year old who is an outstanding bilingual student, avid reader, good athlete. One problem area for him is to make decisions. For example "where would you like to have your birthday party?" or "where would like to travel with grandma?" or eve "what would you like for Christmas?" - all end in "I don't know - I'll have to think about it". And you go back a few days or weeks later and he still doesn't know and has to ponder further. His grandpa on his mom's side is somewhat similar -very intelligent and pleasant mechanical engineer - but indecisive and awaiting orders. Anyhow - I don't usually see "decision making" on the curriculum for elementary students. But maybe you have some ideas for encouraging and developing this area. Thanks!

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant and my husband's family has not had a thing to do with me the entire time. I had my baby shower a few weeks ago and no one in his family showed up (including his own MOTHER or step mother). Now we have had the discussion (fight) about calling his family while I'm in labor. I told him I didn't want any one there but him, my parents and my best friend. Why should I have to sit there in labor with his family when they couldn't even call me to give me a lame excuse why they didn't come to the shower. I particularly don't want anything to do with them now! How do you not show up to your own grandchild's baby shower? They had four weeks notice!!!!! All this time I've been pregnant I haven't seen or heard from his family one time and we live in the same dang town!!! What do you all think of this? What should I do? I really really don't want his family there!!!

Ok so here’s the thing. I am known to be very intelligent for my age, I don’t mean good at math, science this, I mean when it comes to street smarts and life. At least that’s what some people say. I speak my mind a lot, and I don’t give in to peer pressure. I don’t have time to flirt with boys, and I don’ t like wearing pink and acting all fake and perky like most of the girls at my school. I thought that would make me cool, but for some reason I don’t have any friends at all. NO boys seems to be interested in me, and people always tease me. Do I really have to change myself to be cool? Or is it just me? And sometimes I can be very naive.

My grandmother says I should just act like a kid, yeah I know this, but still....

Why is it we only have two scans. Do you think having too many scans is bad for the baby.

The first day of my last period was Jan.14th which was a Sunday. The pharmacy was closed so I started birth control pills on Monday, I doubled up. I have been off of the pill for some time. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex many times after the 14th where he came inside me, I have to say I was not very consistant with the pill. I had some very light brown spotting on Feb. 2nd and 3rd and now it has stopped. My period isnt due until the 6th. I took a preg. test yesterday was it was negative. My boobs did hurt but that has seem to go away. Was it too early to test? Can I be pregnant?

You never get pay, and a vacation is a day where you don't have to leave the house 100 times for another errand or chore. You deal with runny noses, dirty clothes, dirty dishes, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, washing everything and picking up after everyone. Would you give up a job that pays 10.00 an hour to cuddle your kids, clean your house, love your husband, take care of your family and help produce confident, unabused, self-reliant and educated children? Studies show that many children in day care centers don't get the individualized attention they deserve and need to get the most of our attention and individual respect as a person.

Ok this is my third pregnancy.. second child. I went and got a facial today.. where i layed on back, but had pillows supporting my back... and that was for about 25-30 min facial. When I got up i was a little uncomfortable and started to have pain on both sides of my lower abdomen... they are not contractions and they are not braxton hicks.. i know what both of them feel like. I have been drinking water all day and its like if i get up and walk around they hurt, i tried taking a bath, went away until I got out, tried laying down but if i move around they will start to hurt again... so its constant mild pain on each side unless i move around and stuff... i have never had this pain before, called l&d and they said to call back if i had pain still in an hour, i took tylenol also... but nothing is helping... even laying down doesn't help me.. has anyone else experienced this kind of pain... i mean it is just weird and sometimes sharp.. dpends on how i move... help! thanx

I know it sounds horrible, but I really don't want our families to be there when our daughter is born. I don't want to hurt any feelings, but I also don't like that they will use that to force me into something I'm not comfortable with. We live about 400 miles from our family, and they expect us to call once I've been admitted to the hospital so they can drive up immediately. I'd rather call them when the baby is born, and then they can leave. I also don't want them all hanging around our house the first few days she's home. I just want that time alone for the 3 of us - not the 9 other people that would be there if our parents and siblings showed up. My husband is in the Army and he's going to be in Iraq (again) by the time our daughter is 3-4 months old, so I'd like for us to have this time as a family. The grandparents and aunts/uncles will get her at Christmas and her first birthday and a bunch of other milestones - her daddy won't.

My best friend's child has caught RSV and is being given medication at home that the doctor gave them. I'm not sure what it was called except that they put a mask on him and let him breathe it in every two hours. The doctor told my friend that she must do it every two hours on the dot and not miss one dosage. What concerns me is the father is not doing it "on the dot." Sometimes he is as much as a half hour off. He just keeps saying "it'll be ok." This little one is like a son to me but I am too far away to help myself. Am I being a worry-wart or is my discomfort valid? Has anyone used a medication that sounds like this before? Was time very important? I don't want to butt in and complain about how he takes care of his son if it isn't really a big deal, but I'm just so worried.
