She hasnt cleaned her room in a month. If she wasn't on the verge of killing herself Id've already dealt with it. How do I approach punishing her?

I have a 4 year old boy with Down Syndrome. He is very high functioning and we are starting potty training. He is letting us know when he needs to go about half the time. He is in size 6 diapers but they are starting to get to small. I'm not sure what to do because that is the largest size I can find. Any suggestions on where you can find bigger diapers. Thanks

My last period was on July 16, 2007. I had intercourse with one partner on July 26 & 27. I then had intercourse with another partner on July 31, 2007 and August 1, 2007.

The first partner ejaculated in me both times we had sex. The second partner did not ejaculate NEITHER time (used pull out method). I took a pregnancy test during the week on August 6, it was negative. I took two pregnancy tests of August 14, 2007, they were both positive.

My cycle is usually 28 days; therefore, making my ovulation date approx on July 30, 2007. Based on the details of this circumstance, is it more likely that my first partner of this father of this child or would it be the second partner.

I have been doing lots of reasearch on the internet and have called a few health lines and I have got some conflicting info.

I know the only confirmation will be to take a DNA test, but until then some other view points are welcome. I would appreciate informative feedback and not criticism.

Thanks!

My girlfriend told me she is pregnant, and also admitted that she had been cheating on me. Now we get to get a paternity test, I would like to know before the birth, so we know whose name will be on the birth certificate.

We are in the middle of a remodel, and my little girls' birthday party is approaching and we're not finished yet, I can't really have people inside for a party with a construction zone going on! My husband does floors, and we're going to paint ourselves - Can I help him do the lower portions of the room as long as the windows are open and it's well ventilated? I wouldn't be on a ladder or anything!

My husband and I have choosen to do natural family planning. I have been breastfeeding our son almost exclusivly. From what I have read on using breastfeeding as a form of birth control is that it is only effective if you nurse every few hours including night feedings, your period hasnt returned and your baby is less then 6 months. Well, baby is now six months and starting solids. My period has not returned- but i know i can still get pregnant. Anyway to the question- My husband and I are totally fine with getting pregnant again at this time. But I am on pins and needles all the time with any glimpse that I might be pregnant since I have nothing to measure or sure fire sign to help me notice. No period to watch, Always have tender nipples from breastfeeding, still have baby pouch, didnt have morning sickness with first.
Has anyone ever been through this? I have already taken 3 tests and always negative-- but once in awhile i get paranoid.

I am interested in finding out from recent first-time mothers and mothers-to-be who chose or are choosing not to breastfeed the primary reason(s) you did so. This information may be included in a medical school research project if I get a good response. Please answer!

sitting ther eating ice cream. You're home cause you have kids. Most of my neighbors have nannies or grown children or family to babysit. I am a SAHM with a 3yr old and 10 month old and sometimes it's so depressing to see all the couples going out every weekend while I sit T home. To top it all off my husband gets home late tonight - can't even watch a movie together. It all pays off in the end though, right?

I read on here every day about teenagers getting pregnant, not knowing what to do, not knowing how to tell mom and dad, and asking for guidance. I realize that advice is based on your own upbringing, morals, and values. However, I don't agree with everyone that says don't kill a baby, abortion is bad, adoption is better. If you are a mom then you know that there is a bond between you and your unborn child with the kicks, and the ultrasounds, and the excitement of becoming a mother. However, many of you don't know what it's like to give your child up for adoption, and neither do I, but what I do know is from my experience with pregnancy, and those that have given their children up that I've encountered they regret that decision more than anything because of the bond from the pregnancy, and wondering whether their child is ok, and if they chose the right parents etc. etc. An abortion on the other hand I have experienced, and I can tell you that I don't feel guilty about it just like I

Ive noticed more and more recalls concerning products made in China. I have a 10 month old child and noticed all her toys that she puts in her mouth are made in China. If there is a recall of lead paint being in the toys and she gets sick who is liable and can I sue.

Im not thin... I have a handful of fat on my stomach... but, when I would suck in my stomach before, you wouldnt be able to see how its big, then goes in around my waist, then back out again.

Now, even when I try to suck in my stomach, it still seems kind of fat, like it still looks like a double belly...

Im only nine weeks though, and its my first, is this the reason it wont go in as it used to though?

I just wanted to see if it was me or are there other women out there who feel same. I'm 11 weeks prego and I don't feel attracted to the baby's father right now. I don't want to kiss, I don't want to have sex either.

Is there something wrong with me or is this normal?
