He only comes to stay with us for the summer and he constantly talks back. I don't know if he does this at home to his mother, but he does it to me. I tell him not to talk back to me and then he tries to get all snippy with me. So I punish him by taking away what he talked back about, but that has so far not helped. He has even lied to me about not doing something he got in trouble for. Even though I saw him do it which is why he's getting punished. I give him every chance to not do what he does. I have no idea if this is attention getting behavior or he has been taught by his mother that its ok to talk back to grownups.

I have a 16-year-old son who fishes in a lot of bass fishing tournaments. He is looking forward to one in June that is going to be about 4 hours from where we live, so we would be going and spending 2 nights, which we have done before and it works out fine. However, at this point, THE MONEY IS JUST NOT THERE. We COULD go, but we would have absolutely no money for ANYTHING else until sometime in July--and I mean we probably wouldn't even be able to get groceries for a couple of weeks. I can't stand to not have any "padding" for emergencies.

I'm sitting here at work struggling not to cry because I'll probably have to tell him he can't fish in that tournament, which is a "state championship" and it means a LOT to him. But what am I supposed to freaking do?? Rob a bank??

I guess my question to you is, should I just go ahead and sacrifice whatever I need to sacrifice so that he can fish in this tournament, or will he just have to be mature enough to understand my predicament??

My friend just had twin girls, they do not look alike. One looks like the dad and the other like the mom. The hospital said they have the same blood type and now they are telling everyone the girls are identical. I just wondered if this is true, because the girls had separate sacs and placentas. The same hospital told someone else I know that they would have to pay for a DNA test on their own. So is it possible that the girls are identical or that their mother just misunderstood when they told her the blood type was identical?

Okay so I was so worried something was wrong with my pregnancy because there were lots of tests for my HCG turns out I am having twins and everything looks good so far. I am very excited but overwhelmed. One of my concerns is the cost of raising two newborn babies. My boyfriend just started working as a teacher and I have not finished school so finances are a bit tight. I was just wondering if any parents had tipos or money saving advice.

My son just turned 3 months old on Sunday. Is that too early to start him on Baby Food. The doctor said last month, he wouldn't suggest it until he eats 6 oz of Formula and then wants more. Well, he's getting at that point. What do you think? I am going to start giving him baby Cereal this weekend. He already gets that twice a day mixed with his formula, has since he was a month old(doctors orders) he wasn't getting enough food then. But, what you do all you think about baby food at 3 months? and if so, OKAY.. then what kinds do you suggest? Fruit, Veggies, etc?

I will be 38 next week. The results of my first trimester screening estimate a 1 in 800 chance of having a child with down syndrome. I was satisfied with those results however when I saw the doctor yesterday I didnt get the warm and fuzzy reassurance from him. He reminded me that it was just a screening and asked if I wanted to do the amnio. Would you be satisfied with those odds?

I'm a working mom (married, hubby works too) and my 19 month old daughter goes to daycare Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I feel really bad and guilty and am really worried about her because she is so far behing other kids her age. Granted, all of my friends who have kids my daughter's age are stay at home moms (bless their hearts, I love all of my friends!), and they are able to teach their kids during the day, but I mean, it's really bad. My daughter only says "Daddy" (still hasn't said mommy - ouch!), "Ashee" (which is the name of our cat and she calls anything with 4 legs this also), "ball", "pretty" "book", "shoe" and "see". All of the other kids her age put words together to try to make sentences, can point to colors (which mine has no clue), know baby sign language, can tell their moms what they want, and are starting to potty train. After I get off of work at 5 p.m., I come home, cook supper, wash dishes, clean, do yard work, laundry and (see below)

I am 41 weeks prego and the doctor told me to have a lot of sex this weekend before my next appointment on Monday to speed up rippening of cervix. The problem is that I am single. She said I would probably need to be induced sometime next week. I am scared. I spent all last night reading horror stories of inductions. I have been walking and swimming like crazy to see if that helps, but it hasn't. What else can I do before Monday?

Has anyone who has ever been pregnant had an increase in discharge? And I'm not being nasty but did it ever have a kind of sweet smell?

Is La Leche League such a support for b-feeding moms or is it an arrogant organization? Some people within the organization think their @#!$ don't stink. I b-fed all 3 of my kids for a year, but I don't think it's appropriate to feel superior or act superior to other people. The breast is not for everyone-and it can make you harbor resentment towards your children (post-partum depression) if you don't enjoy it. That happened to me with the 2nd one. If you are only doing it to feel better than the next person you're doing it for the wrong reasons. La Leche League has stifled a few people I know, and they have the unfortunate reputation of being nursing nazis. In my opinion, the organization is not supportive of those who choose to breastfeed.

She had her frontal lobe removed, but she is just normal still. No change. My question is when she goes into labor, will this cause stress on her brain? She is 35 weeks pregnant now.

I have had a scan and an NT scan, both of which are fine. However I have not had any appointment for 'me' to take blood, check urine etc. Maybe this is normal but I would appreciate advice from mums please. I realise it will change hospital to hospital, but when did you receive your first hospital appointment to check on your welfare?

The classic hehehe. Basically I could be and I don't want it full stop. The father has just dumped me, I'm scared I mean should I tell him? Should I involve him in what I do? He said to me he'd leave me if I fell pregnant anyway. But if I were to go through a abortion I'd want him there, if only for the support. But, would this wreck our friendship? Or should I just have the abortion and not tell people? Or do you have to tell due to post abortion risks or something? Here's hoping I'm not and I'm just late!!!!
