Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 November 2007

Why do you think people do this? We see it all of the time...Some people make it blatantly obvious, while others are caught contradicting themselves in the previous questions and answers that they have given. Why would someone find the need to lie over the internet? Do they not get attention in "the real world"? Do they think that we are all going to think that they're cool...and why would that matter? Any thoughts on this?

(And yes, I probably could have posted this elsewhere, but I frequent this section, so I want to hear from the people I "see" on here everyday.)

My mother named me with untypical spelling. Instead of the normal spelling kelsey, its kelsea. With this spelling i have many people calling me kel-see-uh and not kel-see. Many acquaintances when first seeing my name written laugh, as most think its ridiculous, but my mother doesnt. Should i change the spelling, keep the name, or just change my name altogether?

This is my first child and I will be giving birth 500 miles away from my or my husbands family. Both of our parents are divorced and not on good terms. I don't want this to be a stressful time and I feel like if my Dad or In-Laws are there it will only stress me out, and make me feel less loved. Not only is this about their grandchild, but it's also about me. I've never done this before, I'm scared, and I don't want people bumbarding me. I also want my alone time with my baby and my husband. I have only invited my mother and sister, and of course my husband will be there. I'm just not sure how to let everyone else know that I would rather them wait a few weeks to come and see the baby.

Thinking of getting a cell phone for our son, what do you think of cell phones at age 12? Also, what is the best cell phone for this age?
Thanks!!

Ok so here goes. I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. My boyfriend and I had protected sex (condom was used) twice. First weekend of September. Then I got my period the following weekend (2nd weekend). Then the third weekend we had protected sex again. Then I got ANOTHER period like 3 days after. Then in mid-October I had my period. AGAIN. I think i scared myself by looking on the internet because I started reading things about "implantation bleeding" and that may have been why and "brown blood" which I think it may have been slightly brown, but pretty much normal. Now I am waiting on another one. And waiting (It's Nov. 7). And in the meantime, I have been feeling nausea for about week and a half. I had some, slight breast tenderness that lasted for only one day about a week ago, but I also wasn't wearing a bra that day. And then, today at swim team practice, I did a sprint of 100 meters and immediately threw up. I don't know if I should be worried or not.

I am so sick of coming across questions from girls.. even grown ladies.. asking if they are pregnant!!!!....TAKE A FREAKIN TEST!!...I understand the ones coming from people who are TTC and they actually have more to their question than just "am I pregnant?"...but is anyone else getting sick of those questions?!

I JUST heard this on the news! The "aqua dots" for children are VERY dangerous. If ingested, its comparable to the date rape drug! Can you believe it?! It can cause a coma and/or death if swallowed. How crazy is that?! Did the creators not realize this when they made them?! That's why I refuse to buy stuff like that for my kids. Either way though, I'd supervise them so that they wouldn't put them in their mouth in the first place. Crazy, crazy, crazy....

Ok, so I have put my 7 year old daughter in public school and we aggree that sh must try it for the rest of the year and if she doesn't like it she can go back to homeschool. But they have put my daughter in special ed just because she's in diapers(she has a kidney problem and cannot control her bowel movements). My daughter is saying they're like tossing her balls, talking to her like she's 1, her school work is to easy, and they're not giving her books at her level. She say's the only person that's treating her normal is the school nurse(to get her changed) and that really makes me nervous.
What should I do?

my son is 2 and a half in december and he still has not got any of his four eye teeth (canine teeth), he has the front four teeth on the top and bottom, and all four first molars, he is at the age to expect his four second molars very shortly so hopefully they come through.
but no eye teeth,

we have an appointment with the dentist next week and i want them to do a mouth xray just to make sure that they are there.

have any other mothers experienced this same thing?
if so what age did they finally come through?

Is the name Max ok on its own? We like Max, but not Maxwell, Maximillian, and do not want to go with my fathers name Maxime, since he doesn't like it and just goes by Max. It would have the same meaning.
Also, our other son is Timothy Marcel so they would be brothers, Tim and Max.

why is it that when it comes to sex
guys 'get some'
but girls 'lose it'
and if a guy doesn't have sex
before he graduates highschool
he's a loser
but if a girl does it before she's married
she's considered a s.l.u.t?
why are people so sexist and such these days?
