My son whom is 1/2 black is around white people all the time except his father occasionally. He seems confused sometimes when he see's black people and he has called some black men "daddy". When black people are on T.V he is glued to the screen. Last week my dad was changing oil in his truck and had oil all over his hands and cameron looked at my dads hands and back at his like 3 times. My son is loved very much and I he is never made fun of his color but I often wonder if he understands that he looks differently than everyone around him... How is this going to effect him when he is in school or fitting in. I just worry sometimes that he will feel like he doesnt fit in or think he is weird cause of his color...?

I mean, not taking 6-7 months to get pregnant but, 7 years or so. Can you please tell me if you've had any luck after that long of a period. I have an appointment to go see a specialist about this but I was just wondering if anyone has had any success. I've been trying for 7 years and I wanna know if I have a chance at all. Im very worried and sad and scared.

My periods are usually very very regular (as in, down to the day 28 days). But in the past couple of months they've been bouncing all over the place.

At the end of April I had a period, but then I finished exams, moved home for the summer, and didn't have another until halfway through June, so it was a few weeks late.

They were regular in June, July, and August...

but now I haven't had one since the beginning of August! I moved back to school in August, so maybe my schedule / eating habits changed a little (but not much).

I do have a boyfriend and we are physical (I know you can get pregnant without actually *having* sex) but we are both painfully aware of the dangers of physicality and we're careful.

How likely is it that, as a virgin, I'm pregnant AND my pregnancy test was a "false negative"? what else could be causing this?

thank you for your answers!

Marcus Francisco Duran

Francisco is my husband's fathers name and they are very close so we wanted to give him his name but we wanted an American first name.

What is the one material thing that keeps you sane? ( your kids and family don't count) When you are just so tired or stressed out, what saves you?
Mine is my coffee in the morning and that hour after my kids go to sleep at night that I just unwind...

We had sex Saturday night and Sunday morning. I started my period the same Sunday night; right on time. If I had gotten pregnant would it have stopped my period if it was going to come that evening anyway? Its been a little over 2 weeks...I have been pregnant before...I sure feel like it...but I have used storebought tests in the past and they have been very in accurate. No I can't go to the doctor to find out...just nervous wondering if its even possible.

We would like to name our son after family members but don't want him to suffer through life with a "bad" name. Does this name conjour up any negative images? Are there any obvious ways for a child to make fun of this name?

Money is a major issue in my life right now. I was wondering what I can feed my kids without feeling guilty. I find it easy to buy crappy food because it is really cheap but I feel so bad feeding it to my kids. Thanks!

For those mommy's who smoke infront of their kids and in the car with the windows rolled down (do you not realize this rolls back to them)?! Second hand smoking is so detrimental to impairing a kids health. Why do you do it, for those who do it. Why can't you take it outside?

I was forced to go to school and become an engineer. I didn't get time to develop my own skills or decide what I wanted to do . My mom wanted to become an engineer. Now that i think backwards ,i realize the amount of pressure i was under. I was scrutinized and my self esteem was shot down because my own parents didn't believe in me.

Do you think this could be a reason why i don't have any motivation to find a job in my field of engineering(elec and comp ) ?? actually i dn't mind working as an engineer for a while before starting to pursue my own DREAMS. but i can't even " do that " :(

P.S: i started working at this call center nd they pay 14 dollars per hour ..Is this good enough for me ?

For a boy we are thinking about the names Nathan or Jayden for first name. Don't have a clue about middle name yet.

For a girl we are thinking about either Alyson, Kaylee or Brittany. Middle name will either be Elizabeth, Mary, Michelle or Rose.

Our 1,5 year old daughter is called Rachel Madeline. Sugestions are welcome.

He used to sleep through the night until he got croup about 3 mo ago. Since then he usually woke up a couple times a night. It was getting better, but then last week he started waking up every 2-3 hrs. The only way he will settle down is to nurse. I've tried all sorts of things, so he doesn't think he needs to eat every time he wakes up. I've tried his pacifier and music and lights thing and rubbing his back and cheek while in his crib still, but he just screams. I've tried rocking him and walking around with him, nothing. The only way he will stop crying and go back to sleep is when I break down and let him nurse. Once he is asleep I tried letting him sleep with us, which usually makes him sleep longer, but didn't work this week. His dad has even tried the same things, thinking it was maybe just me, but same thing, I ended up having to let him nurse. Is this maybe just a growth spurt or is this going to continue until I change something? Any help is appreciated.

When I hear the name Briella, I first think of Gabriella and then it makes me think of fresh, peace, and relaxation. It brings like a calming feeling to the room.

My daughter is 8 months and has gone past that feeding stage where she likes purees etc, she wants toast, fingerfood, lumpy (very) food and ideally our food...we have started serving dinner at a time so she can have alittle bit with us before bedtime and i have cooked some simple but good meals (obvioulsy without salt, sugar, ect) and she loooves eating with us...But now im running out of ideas of what to make and what to give her...i prefer to cook than give her ready meals and it seems like she prefers that too..

i've heard that tearing is better, as it heals more strongly due to the interlocking fibers realigning. (episiotomies can be matched up a little off due to the smooth cut & therefore don't heal as strong)
is that right?

Why is so associated with poor parenting now, when 30 years ago it was perfectly acceptable and was a good way to teach them to behave? Now I know that there's the problem with child abuse and stuff, but if your kids are getting an occasional spanking for out of control or unacceptable behavior and this happens once in a while, what is so bad with it?
