okay we have decided on Malaya (Mah-lay-uh) for our baby girl, but it seems everything we put with it runs together! Can anyone think of a good middle name?

We want to send our child to China with our grandparents from age 7 months to age 11 months. My parents (white) think that we are crazy. I think that thier arguements are mostly emotional though. I have not seen any studies that prove there are any bad effects of sharing the child-raising responsibilities. Also, I much prefer my loving grandparents to raise my child as oppossed to sticking him in daycare for 10 hours a day.

My dad mentioned "attachment theory", and I read up on that a little. It is all theory though, and nothing seems proven. Can anyone point me to a study that compares the IQ, weight, height, happiness, etc (anything) of children raised with grandparents vs. parents?

I know that grandparents rraising children is also much more common in Asian and African socities than in America. Does anyone have statisitcs on how common this is in each society in the world? Thanks you!

My friend used to show up at his daughter's apartment with a shotgun if he found out a man was there. He justified it by saying all pre-marital sex should be considered rape because young men exploit young women. He said whenever young men date all they think about is how they're going to get the woman to drop her panties no matter how nice a guy they seem.

last week i went for an ultrasound and my doc was unable to find anything in the sack. she wanted me to have a d&c but I told her that I would rather wait for it to pass on it's own. I started bleeding very lightly on Monday so I know I'm having a miscarriage. I know this is an odd question but Is there anything I can do to speed up the miscarriage?

She's been grounded until further notice but her birthday is coming up on the 30th (17) so I don't want to "celebrate" and take away light of the punishment.
some may think the punishment is harsh, but if you know me and my background you will know that my husband is in recovery and we run a "clean & sober" household, so drinking (especially under age) is 100% unacceptable in our home.
any suggestions???
or any advice????

And if so, why is that? Do you not ovulate if you are stressed? I know someone who tried to get pregnant for nearly two years while working full time but while not working after a couple of months fell pregnant.

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and VERY dizzy. It feels like the room keeps spinning. I've felt this way since yesterday evening. It's to the point that I can't drive, and it's making me very queasy. My doctor is an idiot. I called him this morning and told him what's going on. He gave me some medicine and I took it, immidiately I felt worse. I was throwing up and my muscles started tightning up. So I called him and told him it was making me worse. He said if I really feel that bad then go to the hospital. So I did, they gave me fluids bc I was dehydrated, and medicine for nausea. That didn't help either. I went home and ate some crackers, and soup. I've been drinking plenty of water but this feeling won't go away. Even when I lay down, please does anyone know what this is, or what I can do to feel better???

I have a 8 and 1/2 month baby girl and her back left jaw tooth is comming in. She's had her bottom two front teeth since she was 4 months old and she's finally getting her third one. I've checked with her doctor and he said that it was fine to give her motrin i just forgot to ask how much to give her and when i went out and bought it tonight i forgot that i didn't know how much to give her. She was taking infant's tylenol but that wasn't working and my mom told me that she always gave me motrin. So how much should I give her?? She's 8 and 1/2 months 18 and 1/2 pounds and she is 29 and 1/2 inches long!!! Please help me!?!?!?!?!

We have a daughter named Brielle. We want something that is unique--possibly a spin on a more conventional name--and that can be shortened.

Middle name would possibly be Paige. Last name is 3 syllables.

Kendall
Giselle
Malia (Mah-leah)
Quinn
Kaelyn
Lila (Lie-lah)
Talia (Tah-leah)
Taryn
Lainey

Make your own suggestions too! Thanks!

Does anybody know of a psychiatrist/child psychologist here in Quezon City, Phil.? We really can't afford it because my salary is below minimum wage, but i feel we both need a counseling / therapy ASAP. Your recommendations / referrals for a charitable person or institution shall be highly appreciated. We probably can't get it for free so i hope I can find an affordable service. Thank you so much.
