She has been very naughty. How can I give her a birthday or Christmas present? I'm thinking of giving her a card and a dollar. It is hard, but her other relatives who don't know all the details of her crazy year can reward her unconditionally. She has put our family through the ringer with her grades, defiant attitude and sense of entitlement this year. So, what to do. Believe she is disciplined, but she has so much 14 year old angst.

Thanks!

Can you please help me understand what its like from your point of view of neign a new father as I really want to gain some insight. I love my partner very much and I know he loves my daughter and I. I am at home with our beautiful little girl who is 13 weeks and my partner works. He is an engineer and alot of his work is physical. He works for his Dad's company and doesnt get home until 7pm or 730pm. He leaves for work at 10am or 11am. My daughter sleeps through the night, when she stirs, I get her and also, in the morning, I get her up, feed her, getmyelsef showered and fed as my partner says he is tired. I guess what I am asking is, is it really difficult to be working and is it weirs inthe early stages of the baby's life, to not feel as connected? Are you waiting more for the interaction stage? I just want to know how you all genuinely feel. Thanksx

I am 6mnths preg and have a 5yr old & a 3yr old.
My hubby & I have no direct family and no body ever babysits for us to go out, the last time we went out without the children was Nov last year for my 30th birthday anyways.... My husband has won an all expensis paid weekend to london through his work, it's a top hotel with harrods shopping a meal on a boat & to see a musical and we have to be in london on friday afternoon until sunday afternoon.
Friends have offered to pick the girls up from school one friend to have them friday night, swap them to another friends saturday night and then they will take them out until sunday.
Would you go? I feel bad for my girls being shipped about all weekend, they are not used to people looking after them & normally they are at home with me but I really would like to spend the whole weekend with my husband & what with our 3rd baby on it's way.. Hubby doesn't seem to care who looks after them he just wants 2 night of unbroken sleep in a posh hotel !

The man tells him everything that they say and what happens between them stays between them. He has since taken his temperture by touching his head, small of back, buttocks, and his pubic area before or after work. accused him of taking money, and giving him rum and coke. my son says he is a really nice man and thinks he should not of said anything because his wife is really nice even though he knows what has happened wasn't right, I live in a small village in spain and the man is a neighbour.

The baby's dad dumped me the very MOMENT i told him i was pregnant, he also demanded an abortion. i didnt get an abortion so i went through the pregnancy alone , supporting myself, i called him from the hopstail, he didnt come to see the baby. i even took the baby over there he wouldn't even look @ her. I am pursuing child support, and now he is requesting a paternity test. its absolutely ridiculous becuase he already admitted he knmows hes the father, it was never in disupste, he knows i dont sleep around. Anyways, im worried he is not a good guy to have around the baby. he is 30 years old, has mentla problems and is obsessed with mary kate and ashely and hialry duff movies. his dad is also very strange. I could use the child support money becuase im broke and single BUT i dont know that its worth it to RISK him filing for custody or visits, and my daugheter might have to spend time alone with him - it scares me. shuld i just go on our way and not go for child support?

why are you letting your child be unsupervised by traffic in the first place?

I wonder the same thing about the hot stove, too.

And, if you put them in a dangerous situation where they didn't know right from wrong, already, where they didn't understand the gave danger that they could be in if they made the wrong move and, then, they randomly chose to do the dangerous thing, why are they the ones getting hit or punished? Why not you?

I'd been with my bf for 6 months and of that 6 months, 3 were long distance. We had sex, using a condom and somehow the impossible happened.
He wants me to have an abortion and says he can not and will not be a father to the baby, citing the fact that we live so far apart and that we've only known each other a short while. I agree, we haven't known each other for an optimal time, but I honestly feel that I couldn't live with myself if I had an abortion. I'd rather go it alone...but he says that even then, he'd know he had a child out there he doesn't know and the thought would kill him. So I'm supposed to choose between my feelings and his, I guess. Is there some middle ground i'm missing?

The name is TORYN. OK- Guy name or girl name? How about Toryn for a guy. Also, Toryn for a girl, but, the girl could be nicknamed Tory?

Ok, My husband and I have been ttc for two months now. I ovulate sometime this week, and yet again, we have been trying... My sister-in-law called today and said she is pregnant. I do not know if I want to get pregnant now(might be too late for that, haha). I don't want her to think I am stealing her spot light so to speak. This is her first, and she is the only girl, so this pregnancy will be special for a lot of people. I hate to break our plans, but if I am planning on getting pg, we would be due within weeks of each other, possibly. I was pg for the first time at the same time as my sister, so I never knew how it felt to be the center of the pg lime light so to speak. How would any of you feel if someone came swooping in and stole the spotlight from you? Would you be mad, or irratated? I am curious to know your thoughts. :) I am nervous about getting pregnant and getting her upset... Anyone else had this problem or would feel upset in this situation?

My son who is 15 weeks old, is having dificulty with his kidneys (or some unrelated issue) where he cannot produce enough sodium and he gets dehydrated. He is hooked to an IV at the hospital and has been there 6 days and 6 nights, tomorrow is day 7. We're supposed to go to a childrens hospital which is about 400 miles away if things don't improve. I am not very wealthy and need some assistance to rent a car to get home when the procedures/whatever is done. Any ideas (Michigan) that would help? And does anyone know anything about Hyponatremia? Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Unwise, immature, and always having sex or looking for it.
Now I understand most teens have sex at 16, 15, hell even 14, but some of the teens that do actually use protection. Are these unwise teens? Why is it when a teen fights back when they are hit in school they are considered immature and violent?
Why do people think that most teens are sex-crazed people and show be supervised when with the opposite sex?

My question is: Why do people think this about most teens? Also why do most people go to such lengths to stop us from contacting with the opposite sex?
