Thanks for your time!

and each one of them is from a different dad, the mother doesnt take care of them properly. These kids are neglected, the mother doesnt work, yet she gets all this money from child support, and government. She cant keep home either.

My daughter turns 10 tomorrow. She is the youngest of three. Ever since she could crawl she's been trying to keep up with her brothers, they are 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 years older than she is. She was introduced to video games, TV and music for an "older set" early on. She still can't quite keep up with them, but she still tries. She is very good with video games, working with computers (she got her own computer when her brothers got theirs for high school) and the internet and follows music and, to some degree, fashion. She has a cell phone and iPod. Her tastes and abilities are more than of a 13 year old than a 10 year old.

The problem is that her friends are all either only children or the oldest in their families. They are still very innocent without having these older role models. When she gets together with her friends, however, they seem intimidated by her sophisitiation in these areas. They get very frustrated when she can do things they can't. She's not a show-off, she doesn't know.

I was at Target the other day and this lady's kid was screaming for 20 minutes straight. She didn't say a word. It was so distracting I had to leave. Why don't parents discipline their kids when they scream in public? Do they not realize how obnoxious and rude that is? What's the deal? She just kept shopping as if nothing was happening. She should've taken him out to the car or told him to stop it!

My son may have high functioning autism or pdd. He was stuck on pretending to be one character from TV. He now changes depending on what show he just watched. Is this normal for a child to be so involved playing and role playing characters such as peter pan, pink panther or tom and jerry?

I'm pregnant with my 1st child and i'm 22. My mom is bipolar and hates kids. She used to tell my all the time about how she was never suppossed to have children but things happened. Right now I want my mom to be happy for me, but all she can do is critisize me on having a baby. She's also not happy that this baby is biracial. (I'm white and the daddy is black) We have been together for 5 years and are happy together. And were ready to be parents. I just wish mom was more supportive of me and him. She was the same way with all her other grand kids but I guess I just wanted this to be different. I want her to enjoy being a grandma. I dont even know what to say right now to her. I ended up hearing this from my sister. I knew mom wasnt happy about it but didnt know how upset she really was until my sister got angry with her for not being supportive and decided I should know how she really felt. Please tell me how to smooth things over. This means alot to me.

My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom slipped off inside of me before he came. I'm on birth control, but couldn't I still get pregnant from the pre-ejaculate? Is it worth me buying Emergency Contraception Pills?

Mixed neighborhood- 12 houses on my cul de sac and we have 1 Mexican family, 1 Korean family, 1 Phillipino family, 1 Indian family, several kinds of caucasion and the newest addition 9 months ago was a black family. Our kids play together, go to school together, have sleep overs and ask innocent and intelligent questions of each other about our different cultures- it has been wonderful!
My problem is one of the families have kids that cry racism every time there is a disagreement. They have older kids that have verbally threatened my kids(and others on the street) and encourage the younger ones to fist fight when there is a disagreement. I've tried to talk to the parent but the parent doesn't seem too interested in what goes on with the kids on the street.
I've taught my kids to "take a break then talk it out" and most of the kids around here know this. They come to my door when there is a problem, but lately it has gotten very heated and divided. Any suggestions???

last week i had a positive test, it was IMMEDIATLY positive and the line was VERY dark, i took it in the morning and my bladder was EXTREMELY full. i am on no medication, i have not recently had a child/abortion/miscarriage and i did not read the test wrong.

since then i have had nothing but negatives, 5 to be exact

TMI AHEAD: i have a lot of clearish/whitish discharge

I have identical twin boys. They sleep in seperate cribs. Both of them pull up to stand, and one of them almost gets out! He gets over stuff all over the house to get what he wants. They're only 10 months old! I thought this was way too far away from going to toddler beds. He even crawled in a toddler bed at Ikea when we were playing around and almost went to sleep! When is a normal or average time to switch to toddler beds? Are there any twin cases out there too? Thanks:)

He is 14 months old and has only two teeth. I have never heard of a child getting teeth this late. His first two teeth came in as soon as he turned one. The doctor said since he was 9 weeks premature, to consider him 2 months younger. So, technically he is 12 months with only two teeth. Is this normal,. or should I call a doctor or perhaps a dentist? He does brush the two teeth he has. But, he isn't getting hardly any meat in his diet because he can't chew. Does any one else have this problem?

I had sex with someone about 6 weeks ago, and I'm really scared I might be pregnant. I've been throwing up in the morning, and I missed my period. The main problem with this whole situation (aside from the possible pregnancy) is that I'm not of age yet. The other issue is that the man I had sex with is over age, and I'm scared he'd get in trouble if anyone found out he's the father. Not just legally, but at his job too. If I am pregnant, I don't want an abortion, I'm not all that religious, but I couldn't live with myself. I would consider adoption, but if there's any way I can I want to keep the baby. If anyone has any advice for me, please help. Oh, and don't bother answering if you're just going to call me a whore or a slut, I don't need that right now.

We want to send out pregnancy announcements to friends and family all over the country ... but we want it to be creative!

Any ideas like a picture of my husband and I with the pregnancy test? Anything?

Thanks!
