She is 14 years old and refuses to wear clothes at all when she is home. I normally wouldn't have a problem with this except that she does it when we have company over also. She says she wants to be seen as god intended her to be seen. I don't think it's appropriate for people (espesially men) to see her this way. How can I change this behavior?

I have a friend who hasn't had sex with her husband for many years. He says that since the birth of their child, he can't get the birth, the cutting, the blood, etc. out of his head, and he is turned off by sex. Is this a lie or an excuse? I think I have heard that this could possibly be a mental health issue. Does anyone know?

i'm thinking what first name will go well with my last name "Hsu".
Do you think "Helen" a good one? Do you have other ideas that also start with the letter "H"?
i'm an Asian and I want a nice name but got so confused about what should i use...
or do you have other ideas that doesn't start with the letter H, however, will pronounce nice with my last name??

thanks a lot, guys!!!

People see someone with a child having a "tantrum" in the store assume it is because the child needs better parenting? Why is this always the first assumption? I have a child that has Sensory Integration Disorder and sometimes we can not avoid situations that set her off. It is not a "tantrum" when she is screaming and flailing, she is in the "fight or flight" mode and her brain is going into its primal mode trying to protect her from whatever that trigger was. (Sometimes the color blue, sometimes the people, sometimes the texture of her clothing) Because she is very high functioning you dont notice untill she gets to this overwhelmed state. But what do I always see on here, and hear when I go out...
Tantrums need "spankings" "Time outs" "better parenting"
Perhaps it isn't a discipline problem and people need to quit making judgements, or am I wrong?

my son and daughter-in-law whisked my grandsons off on Saturday down South to see her Mother.That was fine as they do what they like on weekends.
Anyhow I got a 'phone call early on Monday saying that there were traffic delays and my son was taking the train back to work and she would be along later and go into work late.I checked and there were delays so that was alright -

Anyhow I got a 'phone call mid-morning and she was still at her Mothers and hadn't even set off.I told her that I was not waiting in all day just for her to turn up and she said that she could leave the boys with her Mother - they are flying out from down there at the weekend anyway.
I said "No bring them back" (her Mother smokes).
I also had an awful thought : as they are flying on Saturday if there *was* an accident I would not have seen them again.
Should I have said "yes" and had done with it?

everyone is calling me spoiled...just because i have nice clothes, and a nice house. just because u have nice things doesnt mean ur spoiled. spoiled is when u get everything u want and dont appreciate it...i get everything i want and do appreciate it.

I have a 14 month old daughter whom I love dearly. So much so, that I have second thoughts about having more children for fear that it would take away time from her. However, sometimes I realize I love her so much I would want to have another....and would love that one as well.

My question is.....do you regret having more than one?

Well a question i just read sort of got me thinking. It was based on how much time a teenage girl should be allowed with a boyfriend, and whether kissing is ok etc.

The responses were mainly along the lines of 'a 13 year old girl should not be left alone with a boy'
'they should never be un-supervised'.

So my question is for the people who are ACTUALLY PARENTS.
Do you let your teenage daughter/son be alone with a member of the opposite sex? Keeping in mind that they are probably going to be around them at school or after school or things like that. Do people out there really think that their kids will not see somebody if they want to? And if you see your kid kissing somebody, do you speak to them about being responsible, or do you ban them from seeing each other?

If you dont like my nice normal names you dont have to comment.
Anyways I was wondering what you thought of these names
Cameron Alexander
William James
Jack Peter

Jamie Michelle
Molly Gail
Bridget Denise

The middle names are all family names so they are not changing. But I was wondering if you could make comments about each name. That would help me out a lot.
Thanks a bunch!!!

a friend of mine has little finger food snacks that once it hits a childs mouth it desolves, i went to the store and bought some, because she said she started her kid on them young.. but my daughter is 6 months old and is teething but hasnt gotten any yet, however she loves to chew on things when i started her on baby food [like the vegies and fruits, no cereal i was told not to by 3 doctors] at 3 months [with doctors permission] she always seemed to bite down and swish it in her mouth before she would swallow.. when can i start her on these little finger food snacks??? im terrified that she may choke if i start her to young..



Im a first time mom, wayyyy new at this

A family member is coming to stay with us in one week (for vacation) and he just told me that his baby got head lice from daycare. He doesn't think that it is a big deal. My kids have never had lice so i don't know how to react. His two kids will be sleeping on our futon and surely be on our couch. It is Monday and he has treated his baby and they are going to seal up their bedding for 48hours to get rid of it. They are NOT treating their other child and so therefore I am worried. They will be here Sunday.

I have been told that our pets can not get the head lice... so that is good. But I am really worried about them staying here... my neice suggested using Tea Tree Shampoo while they are here and for a while after to ward off any lice on my kids.

So my question is... what is the gestation period for lice? If they fail to kill them all or their other child gets it.. will they know before they come here?
