Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 August 2007

I am a full-time mother to two boys under two. Finding it really difficult to do anything other than spend time with the boys and do the basics. Feeling badly that so much remains undone.

I am girl, 15. Still my mom treats me like a small girl. It is true that she loves me a lot. But the issue is too much love and care, that I feel I am too much pampered than what a 15 years grown up girl actually needs. Some times it hurts my freedom too, but still I do not say any thing because mom things that I am still a small girl. When I go to kitchen, mom will be behind. When I go for shopping, dad or mom will be with me. Though I feel proud for them, I have started longing for a little more freedom.

How to tell my mom & dad about this, with out hurting them?

Make derogatory comments about members of the opposite sex?

I'm not a man hater, I've met some amazing males who have amazing respect for woman but not in all cases.

Recently while I was on holiday I was walking to the petrol station to buy myself an ice cream and a male old enough to be my father (I'm 17 years old) made a very rude comment about my back side and my legs. I found this extremely inappropriate, but I was decided to be the mature one and ignore it.

This isn't the first time that it has happened.

So why do these men think it is appropriate?

my lmp was 22-29th july. i had ups on 6th and 8th august. about two weeks after ups i started getting abdominal cramps all the time. i have them really bad right now.
my body feels different and i have all the symptoms and feelings of pregnancy - sore nipples, nausea and sickness on one occasion, needing the loo more, poor appetite and going off foods and feeling sick around certain things, i bloated out and my period didnt arrive when it was due. i had a urine test taken last thursday and it came back negative from my gp.
i have started bleeding and am having very strong cramping in my back and abdomen today. the bleeding is lighter than my period would be, and it is a bright orange red colour - nothing like i've had before!
i am confused. im not unable to accept the fact that im probably not pregnant - but why am i having all these symptoms even now, and what is my body doing?
could i still be pregnant, or carrying an ectopic pregnancy or what? im so confused now.

instead of being over protective why dont dads teach daughters self defence?

Including free running for escape and evasion,

Link in videos

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1200058447260450472

use of improvised weapons and martial arts like

Krav maga the martial art of the Isreali army, and specail forces Mossad or ninjitsu as in Ninja Assaisin?

Starting young so by teens is very efficient at taking people out quick ... Maybe with a nickname like Buffy the bully Slayer.


Plus teaching girlie dirty tricks.


Like lift top and guys too busy thinking wow nice boobs to see the round house kick about to smack him in the head or acting all weak and vunerable and defeated so guy drops his guard.


Plus when not defending self elements of tomboyishness into adventure sports (meet more guys and keep fit)

I have a 2 year old daughter who is breast fead. I cant get her off my breast. She sleeps with us of a night.?

My daughter sleeps with me and all night she is sucking on my breasts. She is 2 years old and uses me for a dummy. She has never had a dummy or a bottle only ever had breast milk. It is becoming annoying and I just want my boobs back! She can talk and tells me she wants boob when she is tiered. It is becoming a habit of when she is tiered she wants boob. Sometimes she gets boob and then hops off me and goes plays, then comes back when she is ready for more booby as she calls it. It could be a 5 minute interval or 30 minutes, then she finally falls asleep on my breast. She stays asleep for 30 min then wakes up and wants more booby, gets it and goes to sleep again and will stay there for as long as I hold her near my breast. My baby is the baby of 6 children and I have never been in this situation before. I have breast fed all my children and I have always weened at 12 months. I don't know where I went wrong this time, but there is no getting off the booby for this baby! Please help!

My 7 year old daughter has started to steal items from me and my mother in law. I opened her overnight bag this morning to find half of my mother in law's jewellery collection in it. I am also missing my engagement ring which I guess is in her room somewhere but she wont admit it. My question relates to what I should do about it. I know from experience of my brothers and sisters that otherwise good children sometimes steal but I am not at all sure how to discipline her? She is currently up in her room and is in there all day.

Our 3 1/2 months old went 16 days without pooping. At 2 months, he went for 14 days and the doctor said to use fleet babylax which works and his stool was soft just like pudding. One week later he went by himself like pudding again. 2 weeks later we had to use fleet babylax again and it was like pudding again. This time, it has been 16 days but nothing yet. We are hesitant in using the fleet babylax again afraid that he may get dependent on it. He is a breast fed only baby and I've heard that it is impossible for a breast fed baby to be constipated. I'm not even sure that what he has is consider to be constipated since his stool has always been soft like pudding. He seemed to be feeding, playing, sleeping, and peeing just like normal. He is not at all fussy. Is it bad to have him gone this long without pooping? Is it normal? Is fleet babylax bad to use? We've tried massaging, warm bath, etc but nothing work. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you.

I want a baby... But I'm so afraid right now. My husband and I both work in law-enforcement and its so dangerous for us at work. And I see kids everday who have, what I call HORRID PARENTS. I cannot help but think... '' What if I'm a screw up?'' ''What if my son ends up doing this stuff '' Everyone knows that the sheriffs kids are usually the worlds worst... That is how it was when I was growing up anyway.
My husband is getting excited, I've been excited. But now I'm getting scared. I've got less than 2 weeks before they do a c-section. I cant wait to be a mom, but I'm in no hurry to screw up...
Any advice to calm down?

That as children they're born with a clean slate and are innocent, or that truly children(humans) are born as "monsters" and it's the job of parents to tame them. (think lord of the flies or other situations regarding free will and conscience). Which do you think applies?

Personally I believe in the second one a little, and the latter as well because of christian beliefs - (the nature of humans).

My mother & I are very close, or so I thought. We also both struggle with depression & always knew if we ever were having problems to just call the other day or night & talk it through. I tell my mother everything b/c she's my best friend. Well lately she's been "hinting" about thinking of suicide & I got worried & although I know its wrong I went into her email knowing her journal is there & read it to see if she was planning it. Instead I found out that everything I told her in private she was telling her friends online & even making up things about me that weren't true! Saying I was a bad mother to my kids & then in her journal wrote that I'm the reason for her depression in the first place & that me calling her to talk to her about my problems triggers her depression & makes her "not look forward to life". She's never said anything like this to my face & I feel so betrayed. I never had a father & felt my mother was all I had & now this. Why would a mother do and say those things?
