Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 October 2007

my dad got a random 17 yr old girl at a party pregnant when he was 15, and stayed with her. when i 1 month she split and my dads looked after me ever since. he has mates over all the time but wont date. it makes me feel guilty, as if i ruined his life. he tells me that "i am the only girl he needs" but i don’t believe it. he wont go out to clubs, where he could meet heaps of chicks, and he is a good looking, nice bloke. i think he is worried about the change, because his parents kicked him out when he got the girl pregnant. So iv never had a mother figure, or grandparents. My dads parents say that they don’t want to meet me, and the only contact they have with him is when they send a Christmas card. It has only ever been the two of us, and friends, never girlfriends. i want him to date but he wont. what can i do? we are very closeand a girlfriend would make him happyer. he thinks that any one his age would run away screaming when he says he has a 15 yr old daughter. what do you think? Before saying stuff about me needing a mother and everything, and that dad should try and find her, he has tried to find her many times, but she has just dissapered. The only proof that he has of my mother ever existing is me, and one foto of her. One of his friends partners told me one day that maybe he didn’t want me to see someone that wasn’t my mother become my mother. Please help me.

I recently had unprotected and unexpected sex with a girl that i like, and then the next day, she said she had many symptoms of pregnancy, such as stomach cramps, vomitting, she's been feeling 'hot' all day and really thirsty, and stuff like that... I was wondering if it's even possible to know this early, by the way we're both 17. Yeah she wants to remain anonymous because we want to resolve this as soon as possible... ALSO we want to try the Morning After pill, does anyone know if there are certain drugs that counter-act it? because she is taking drugs because she is Bipolar, and will those types of drugs like interfere with the Morning AFter pill? any thoughts please help. Thanks.

I recently found a thong in my 13 year old son's room when I was doing laundry. I asked him about it and said he took it as a joke from one of his friends, that is a girl. So far he has been very honest with me. I try to be open so he can trust me and come to me if he needs anything. I just don't want him to make the mistakes that I made, like having him at 17! His dad, my husband, alreadly had "the talk" and he says he understands. My son has so many friends that are girls, most of his cell phone contacts are girls, is that normal? My question is am I being unrealistic thinking he has not has sex yet?

How does that happen?
I am the victim of my mom's abuse and want to know how a person can do awful things to a person they made.

i mean.. i am my mom's daughter.
When i have children i will cherish them. i cannot contemplate such a love i'd have for my own kid...

i am 1 of 4 kids in my family.
why me?
my mom waits on my other siblings hand and foot...

Do you find teens that get pregnant and keep their babies trashy or responsible? It is a touchy subject, so handle with ease. But I would love to have opinions.

I've been really tired lately. Now I'm in a hot stuffy room, I have asthma, and my head is starting to hurt really bad. Maybe is it because of my lack of sleep? I normally go to bed around 11:00 and wake up at 6:30 for school. Am I getting enough sleep? If not, how much sleep should I get? Thanks! :) ♥

My 8 year old step-daughter had a slumber party at our house last time she stayed here..

She invited 4 girls, 1 of which had held a slumber party a month or so before that my step-daughter attended..

They were playing little tricks on each other all night and one of the girls came and asked me if they could get some of my youngest daughter (2)'s pullups out of the bathroom because they were using them for a prank. I said sure, thinking it was innocent. THey hid my stepdaughters underwear and put the pullups in her underwear drawer, but gave her real underwear back later. I thought it was a pretty pointless prank, because I didn't realize what it was about..

They were making fun of her because she wet the bed at the other girls party a month or so back, but I didn't know that had happened because nobody told me. I didn't know they were making fun of her.

My husband's ex called tonight- she just found out too- and is upset with me..

What should I say/do? I feel terrible!

We broke up for a year got back together while i was 3 weeks preg and he knew it. Hes been an awesome step daddy. The baby looks like him and our 4 yr old and they have very distinct features . I spotted at 3 weeks and thought it was implantation bleeding. Can you get pregnant, while pregnant miscarry and not know. baby was over 3 weeks due and only 6 lbs,
And no i didnt sleep with them both at same time and bio dad has NO interest in baby .
What do you think ? please be serious.

like 2weeks ago he asked me to give him head...and i did and then he wanted me to do it everyday and i told him that i didnt want to but he started yelling at me and i felt kinda bad about it so i did it for him again but now he wants to have sex and ive already told him that i dont want to lose my virginity until im married plus im 16 and hes going to be 20 in a week so its not good for us to be doing that. But everytime i tell him that he says that he doesnt care and he gets really really mad at me. He smacked me the last time i outright told him no. Whats a way that i can tell him no w/o pissing him off?

I have a 3 and 2 year old, they don't understand what is going on. My 3 yr old cries all day for daddy and my 2 yr old will not let me out of arms reach. They are just so young I am having trouble finding the right words for them to understand that Daddy is gone but WILL come home...Any ideas on how I can make this easier for them to understand and accept?

yeah, so last week i was at my normal monthly dr visit, and i was measuring at 34.. 36 weeks so they scheduled me for a ultrasound... it went normal, i knew we were having a baby girl from our 1st ultrasound at 21 weeks. but they kept us after to talk to a dr she said she found a second smaller placenta. is that because there WAS twins?? or could it be that theres one hiding??? im still measuring big.. but with one baby!!

It's so annoying I will walk into like the kitchen and he will just start saying random crap about football or basketball. Every single time someone walks into the room he will just start talking. It's like he just wants to hear himself talk. I've already told him a million times I don't care what he wants to say, that im not listening, but he still talks and talks forever about stupid stuff. What can I do to finally get him to shut up he is so annoying.
He's my twin brother....

If he was my age I'd slap the crap out of him. But he's not so I can't. But I still want him to shut up. With him home its always chaos at our house.
