Yesterday I popped out for 5 mins to get the washing in, as I walked down my hallway past the lounge I noticed my son on the lounge carpet curled up in a ball holding himself whilst both my daughter & her friend were sitting, laughing. Guessing what had happened I felt embarrassed to intervene or go into the lounge to investigate. Whilst not knowing what to do, my daughters friend came into the kitchen and upon me asking what happened she replied that my daughter had kicked him in the balls and that she does that to boys all the time at school, for fun. Although my son is ok, I'm wondering whether I should say something to my daughter and if so what and if I do, will it make any difference especially as she witnessed me doing the very same thing to a man a few years back who wouldn't take no for and answer at a wedding reception. I'm a loss as to whether to say something or just ignore it

i have 2 b/fs. theyre both hot, but one is way rich. I was at the mall with my friends and i found the cuuuuuuutest purse. I want it sooooo bad. but the thing is its almost 200 dollars. I asked my parents and they said no way and i suck at saving money so how can i get one of my b/fs to buy it for me? i want to try to get the rich one to get it cus then maybe i can get him to buy me matching shoes or something. should i sweet talk him, or try to be sexy, or threaten to break up with him if he doesnt get it for me?? what do u think. i no he doesnt want me to break up with him cuz im like one of the prettiest girls in school and he wont ever find anyone hotter then me so he'll prob buy it for me just to keep me around.

Whenever my mother sneezes, unfortunately for her and for us, she breaks wind. My mother is elderly so at her age, every fart is somewhat dicey. Is there anything we can do to prevent this socially crippling affliction?

I took my little girl to a play zone the other day and was so annoyed to find kids of 10 + running around the under 3's section. God it winds me up. Why can't the parents keep control of their children? What does it take to tell them that they're not allowed to go in the little one's section. There's only a tiny bit set aside for little children yet the rest of the play zone is massive so why can't they just STAY OUT!!

Another massive bug bear of mine is when cyclists ride 3 people wide - why???!

What annoys you?

In my opinion it is best to adopt a homeless child rather adopting a dog becasuse even if what the child turns out to be in the future as long as you treat him or her with love and care they will always hold a sense of gratitude whitin them for you.

my son is 6 weeks old and he will always stare at something, or i should say nothing really, he will smile and coo at it and you can see him follow it with his eyes, is this possibly a ghost and it cant hurt him can it?

I have a regular period. And right now I have not noticed any pre-menstrual syndrome like I used to have when my period is about to come.

The culture in S.E.Asia (where I now live) is that their kids share the same bed as their parents until they're as old as 10rs old. In the UK (where I grew up) the culture is very Victorian and children have their own rooms & beds and are forced to sleep there from a very young age.

As a Brit child I was obviously in my own room but I suffered greatly from night terrors and was very, very frightened by them to paralysis. I believe, if I had had the option to stay with my parents, even in the same room, I might not have suffered with these endless terrors.

But many would argue their rights to privacy I'm sure, but is that really more important than y/our childs' pain and torment?

Now my 3 yr old has her bed in our room and her nights are peaceful, when she was alone she awoke scared every night and woke us up too. So our nights are more peaceful too!

Shouldn't we let go of these 'Victorian' values and think about our children? Or do you personally think it's a wrong approach

EVENT-- 3 kids boy14 ,boy8,& girl4. My friend & her 2 kids girl12 & girl6 were over to babysit mine while hubby &i went 2 dinner. We got home and my friend said we had a problem and proceded 2 tell me that the older ones found the lil 2 under the covers half nude. She said she asked 2 lil ones what happened & 4 yr said "sex game" 6yr said it was 4yrs idea & she didn't do anything & It was all 4yr fault. My friend sent her 6yr. back w/ other kids and kept 4yr. by herself & put her 2 bed. In the morning I sat my kids down individually 2 talk and heard compelling evidence that both the 4&6 were partaking in the "game". I called my friend and asked if we could all sit down and discuss this and she agrees but she insists that it was all the 4yr. old and her kid was not a willing "participant". We had SO many problems w/her kids before on SOmany issues we keep a watchful eye but we never thought anything like this would happen....I say it was curiousity but she thinks therapy is needed. HELP

in my 1st trimester of pregnancy, it started because i was watching tv in my room and all the sudden he closed my door so I was wondering why he did that so I opened the door and he stated flipping the channels very nerviously,so i know he watches pornography and quite frankly i am sick of it, so I took the remote and search for the last channel sure enough, but wait he never says yeah I did do it,It would be fine if he admits.So instead he started calling me names and saying how I planned things to get him and blah blah, on top of that his x is trying to take his children, so he starts saying I am like his x evil and mean, I have put up with him for 9years and he has hit me before but not since like 2004? so I tried packing to leave because i am tired of this,I tried to get my son he takes him from me i get mad and hit him 1 time with the remote control thinking he would let go of my son he hits on my face he bites me he starts shocking me and hit me on my nose I fell on my belly what

My baby girl is 4weeks old. At first I thought I might have post partum or the beginnings of it. But when I realised that I wished I had post partum to get sympathy from my husband. I finally realised it was my husband who is the problem.
He has always had a short fuse but now, I dont know him anymore. Out of the few hours I see him each day when he is home. He might be sweet and playful for half an hour. Distant for 2, cold for another 2 and then just horribly, horribly nasty for another 2. Even though I love my daughter more than anything in this world and I will never ever begrudge her for it... I see her higher in his eyes. But even then.... when he is sleeping and she just wont settle and is grizzly and keeps spitting out the dummy and crying for it again, he gets so angry and crazy that I whisk the baby away and run downstairs with her. I cant believe he would do something to her, but he scares me.
He used to be my beautiful husband. What should I do?

Or can it be all of the above?

I have a temp. rise today so I ovulated yesterday. Yesterday night my hubby and I "tried". A few hours later I went to the washroom (sorry) and wiped 2 streaks of blood with EWCM. I know it's ovulation spotting but I'd really like to know about when ovulation actually happened.
