my child is 13(son) adhd. he has a problem focusing remembering simple things. He is not on medication, he was but it puts him in a zombie like character. doesnt want to do any thing but stay home so i took him off of it. we have taken things from him..tv, radio, games etc. and have presented rewards if he at least tries, but to no aveil. simple things like taking a bath, brushing his teeth reminding him every day to do everyday things. now he watches videos and he remembers everyword to the videos and remembers if we tell him that we are doing things like going on trips..any thing that benefits him he remembers. He loves wrestling knows every wrestler and all the moves. So he has the ability to remember things. He rushes through homework which ends up 90 percent wrong. Me and his Dad is going through a hard time. We considered tutoring but its very costly. We talk and talk to him and explain the consequences of his actions but its not penatrating. PLEASE HELP US!

I'm 19. It's my first child. I want to keep him because he is my first child. I don't see whats the point of me carrying a child around for 9 months and then give him away. My mother is in my ear..looking out for me. Her choice was to give him up for adoption. I love my unborn baby. But i don't think i'm be able to support him the way i want to. But i've seen and experience single parents raising their child and they came out fine. I don't know what to do. I know there are open adoption options. But that is saying that the adoptive parents have to send me pics of my child and i keep in contact with them til he's 18. i can keep contact with him if i keep him.

why this couldn't have been done 10 years ago & many children would still be alive, not kidnapped, abused, etc. etc.

OK, here is the deal. I had my daughter when I was 20 and never wanted to have another one. I felt that I have to have a career and my life is perfect. Now when my daugher is almost 14 and I can finally have some free time and travel, I want to have another child. My mom thinks I am crazy, it's too big of a difference and kids should be close to age with each other. (me and my brother are 2 years apart). she thinks i am going to ruin my life. Am I crazy for not wanting one for so long and wanting now?

My little one is 4.5 months old and I think has her first case of diaper rash. I feel like an awful mommy! I know it happens to most babies... but still, know what I mean? Well, she is a little red on the lips of her vagina and a little bit heading towards the crease of her legs. There are a few spots that seem a little "puffy", NOT majorly and she isnt BRIGHT red. Does this sound like diaper rash? She has her 4 month checkup on Thursday and I plan on using some desitin til then. She doesnt seem like she is in pain... still giggles during diaper changes, ect... what do ya think?

So I was supossed to get my period tosay but it never came.. There is a huge possiblity that im pregnant. I took and early test on Monday and it was negative but when i went back like 2 hrs later just to double look, i had a urge to look again for some reason it was positive. I know after 10 min there not accurate but I took one a few days earlyer and it never turned e and still isnt. If im not misstaken it shouldnt turn if the hormone isnt in ur system right? Could i still mean im pregnant even if it was way past the time frame?

Hi,

i'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second baby.
I had such a bad time breast feeding my first child, and even though I did it for 4 months, I really don't want to breast feed this time around.

I was thinking of giving of breast feeding my baby for the first couple of days and then introducing Cow & Gate forumla instead.

Has anyone breast feed for a couple of days and thenmoved to forumla - I would appreciate any advice ie engorged breast etc...

thanks,

Sophia

Just curious I was out the otherday and had to feed my little one. I ended up going to my car because of the stares. A woman I was with told me not to worry because I was being really discret, she told me a story about a woman that just plopped her nipple out in the middle of church and feed her baby. Also why are people so naive and immature about this?

Did your doctor ever prescribe anything for your vomiting and nausea while you were pregnant? I just went to the pharmacy to fill my prescription but I'm afraid that this will harm my baby.

I really had my heart set on Caliana which means Princess and call her Callie for short that means beautiful so she'd be my beautiful princess.

Although I just found the name Adria that I thought is really cute and unique too and means dark and rich. If I picked this I am not sure if I like Adria or Adreah better for the spelling?

What are your thoughts verse the two? I have a daughter Talya right now. I am pregnant with number two although I don't know what the sex is yet of the baby....

I recently had unprotected sex with my fiance (yes dumb) and it was around the time of ovulation. Of course it's too soon to tell if I'm actually pregnant.( If I am pregnant, it would only be a few days..) i'm scheduled to have an Endoscopy in a few days that would require the doctor to give me an injection to make me sleepy ( some type of sedative). If I am pregnant, is this safe? Maybe I'm being paranoid, because I might not even be pregnant, but I just don't want to risk it. any thoughts?

I gave birth to my son a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. However, as I changed his diapers and gave him baths I began to wonder if something was not right. You cannot tell that he has a penis. When I first laid eyes on him I did notice the abnormality but didn't think twice about it because I was overwhelmed with the whole birth itself. You can only see his testes and nothing else around that region. He doesn't have much pubic fat so his penis probably isn't buried underneath there and he's like this 24/7 so it probably isn't due to the temperature. I'm afraid there might have been some sort of hormonal issue while he was in my womb. Neither the doctor nor the nurses mentioned anything to me about his penis while I at the hospital. So I'm not quite sure if there is definitely something wrong or not. My sister also has a son and he did not look like that when he was born. He had a clearly visible and well developed shaft. Anyone out there experience a similar situation before?
