She's irritable and is ALWAYS grumpy! I know what she's going through, but my 14 year old brother doesn't. I try my best to help out where ever is needed I always do my homework, I don't go out partying, I try and keep very quiet and out of the way and don't ask for very much.

My brother is so rude, he makes a mess and never does his homework, complains he wants to do something and can't get there because mum's working.

But no matter what I do, I'm always the one getting yelled at. Mum takes everything out on me! It's effecting me mentally because now I don't even go out and see my friends because I believe it's too much of a hassle for my Mum.

My Dad doesn't have a role in our lives and my Mum is a single parent.

What can I do? Please help!

We was together for 7 years..Since I was 17 and been living together going on 4 years..This wasn't a planned pregnancy but he was REALLY excited and I was the one depressed for awhile. He is from up north and I am from the south. We was supposed to move to Wyoming because his dad could get him a job making 4 more grand a month, we was struggling with bills. His dad called about a month ago and said the job would not be there for long, so he moved up there. I was going see him for 2 weeks so we could pick out a house..He calls me almost 2 weeks ago and breaks up with me..I don't know what is going on with him. He calls me everyday and I only answer every now and then. Last week he was like WE ARE OVER,move on. So, now I am acting like I am moving on and he calls and wants to talk forever, he askes about me all the time. I don't know if he is scared because of the baby..Do you think he will come back? Sorry so long

I have an almost 5 month old little girl, she pulls her shoulders up and has worked that stomach of hers on doing so since 7 weeks, she can roll to her stomach and back and rests on her elbows.
At what age did your baby actually start sitting and crawling and what did you do to help them achieve this, also just before their teeth pop up what am I to expect - crying through the night or what? lots of answers would be appreciated, thankyou.

He left me while I am pregnant. I know that is very wrong but we was having some issues. I love him deeply and we have been together a long time. I really want him back but he is hours away living with his parents right now. I do know I need to change but he told me that we just can't work out. I think he is scared about the pregnancy but isn't opening up to me about it..maybe because men don't like to share his emotions? I know it is very sh*tty of him to leave his pregnant woman. I know I shouldn't want him back...But we do love each other and did have a wonderful relationship before I got pregnant. I don't want him back just because I'm pregnant. I really love him, Should I try to get him back? Thanks!

I've been on the pill since I was 16, (I'm 31), everything normal, no bad reactions or side effects, currently Yasmin. My boyfriend and I would like to start a family maybe in 8 months to a year. We talked about me getting off it and both agreed that I should get off the pill this month, I'm afraid that if I dont get off it soon, I will do something irreversable to my body because I have been on it for so long. What are the chances of anything happening within the next few months, though? My boyfriend is in Iraq now, will be home for 2 months, then back over again for 4 months and I will obviously not be in any danger of getting pregant then, but I do not want to get pregnant in the next few months. After such long usage, how long will it take for my body to get back to "normal" because it's so used to and accustomed to the pill? I am just getting very nervous about staying on it for a 15th year. I feel if I stay on it any longer ill go barren or something. How long 2 get back 2normal?

I babysit 3 year old triplets. I knew when I signed on that they use spanking as discipline, but I wasn't sure how often, what they use etc. Just last night the mom was there with me and they wouldn't go to sleep. The lights in the room were off so I don't know what she did exactly, just that they started screaming and crying, then she yelled at them to shut up and stop crying, just to go to sleep. I was in the room at first and then I stood outside until she asked me to come in and lay with one of them who was being quiet.

Was she just frustrated and lost a little control? Or is this something that might happen often so I should call someone?
I don't know if I should go back again or what. Please give me some answers! Anything would be appreciated.

I am 24 weeks pregnant... I havent had ANY complications with my pregnancy yet. But tonight I had a VERY minimal amount of spotting, when I say minimal I mean it. It was dark brown in color like old blood. I am very worried... I am pretty sure the baby is still moving, It is too late to call my Dr. and I have no way to my hospital's ER... Has any one experienced anything like this or have any suggestions. Promptness is greatly appreciated...

I was changing her diaper and in noticed in the folds of her skin where her leg meets the pelvis, her skin looks irritated and raw, and I asked her pediatrician what it was because it didnt look like diaper rash to me, but more like when you scratch yoruself so bad some skin comes off, and thats what it looked like, btu she said because its so moist and the skin isnt breathing that it was dish pan hands but for the genital area, i go to a naval hospital and although she has her degrees and has been doing it for 15 years, i still have my doubts or maybe its because im a new mom, and dont want my baby to be in such pain or what looks like it, has anyone ever had a diaper rash like what i described for their kids? i used desitin cream, and i have stopped useing the wipes and use a wash cloth with warm water, and let the area dry out, but it breaks my heart to see my baby cry like that

Okay, my mom took both of my girls last night and brought them home this morning. Well, my oldest wanted to go with her again. I only agreed because my mom hadn't seen them in a month. My youngest wanted to stay home with her father and I. My mom called me a few hours ago telling me she bought Liyah a new dress, shoes, leotards, a teddy bear, and a new doll. She also took her out to dinner. I don't think this is right. I asked my mom what she got Lyssa (my youngest). She said she was broke after buying for Liyah. I know this isn't fair to Lyss. My question, how do I get my mom to stop without making Liyah feel like she's the one that did wrong? I don't want her to think she did something when Grandma did it. What would you do in this situation? I don't want my girls to have to deal with their grandmother playing favoritism.

My niece is 13 years old, I am 22, (I have been in a relationship for 6 years) so she feels very comfortable talking to me about everything, but not sex. She lives downstairs from me so I see her daily. Her parents do not talk to her about ANYTHING and she has a "talk on the phone" boyfriend. I want her to be educated about sex and I feel like she needs to know these things. She only knows what they teach in school and doesnt feel comfortable talking to her friends about it. I have told her that I am always here if she needs me, that I love her, and that if she has any questions to ask them, but she doesnt ask! I know her mother will never talk to her about these things and I don't want her to get herself into something she doesn't understand. I know this subject maybe uncomfortable for her, but it does need to be talked about, should I write her a note and tell her to write one back so she doesnt have to ask her questions outloud?

Hey... I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant and I know the baby is coming soon, and I'm really nervous. I'm excited and anxious for her to come out, but at the same time when I think about labour I'm absolutely terrified! I know that I will probably get a walking epidural (low dose epidural, so I can still move around if I feel like I need to)... is there anyone else who felt this way? And how did you overcome it? I know that labour is inevitable!

Also, ... this may be too much info, but my nipples have been leaking lately and I heard that I should massage them to stimulate them, but I've also heard that this could start labour too? Has anyone else heard anything about that?

Thanks in Advance!

So after reading many questions tonight about people 13-17 year olds becoming pregnant and not knowing what to do, I am wondering what in the heck happened to our sex ed classes!?!?! Are they not being taught anymore? It's like these teens are asking "How did I get pregnant?" "What do I do?" This is very RIDICULOUS, so if you are a teenager or 13 year old for Godsakes READ very CLOSELY. SEX HURTS!! If you have sex you will die!!!! No more sex!! Sex is only ment for people who love each other and married people and people who are willing to take the responsibilty for a child!!! JEEZ!!! And yes all you smart a*ses I know this isn't a question. Well now I have one, to teachers, where is our sex ed and health classes???? Huh?
