i posted his under singles and dating but i was also wondering if any of the woman that are pregnant now or just had a baby had this problem

my bf and i got in a fight last night (about something stupid) & he said he doesn't want kids at all they are dirty brats they are a waste of money etc
that really bugged me when i asked him what if i got pregnant he said he would get another job so he didn't have to be home w/ the baby but he wouldn't leave me by myself when i asked about going to the dr he said he "would have to go"
to me this is so scary we are 20 & 21 & have been together almost 4 years & he is just now saying this
i think hes scared to be a parent cuz his were to busy for him working double shifts & from the age for 8 or 9 he raised himself (his family didn't have alot of money so both parents worked alot & he was throw from baby sitter to baby sitter) he says that isn't why he feels this way

it scares me cuz we are trying to put money together to start a life

My 2 yr old daughter tripped over her twin brothers scooter and fell pretty hard 2 days ago.. She bled for awhile and has a cut in her bottom lip, but her gums above her teeth (upper mouth) is now purple.. Will this go away by itself or did the damage some nerves/permanent teeth???
I haven't taken her to a dentist yet because he absolutely HATES doctors and freaks out..
Anyone out there with some good advice for me..

My midwife hasn't even checked me over orr anything since I have found out im pregnant. All she has done is give me a leaflet and told me when I had a scan. She didn't weigh me or take my blood pressure - nothing like that? Is this wrong? This is my first pregnancy and i'm only 19 so as you can imagine I am so nervous when I get cramps and pains eveywhere (my midwife just said that all cramps are normal but I don't believ her as she was as much use as a choclate fire guard)
Please comment.

you're child should stop calling you "mommy"?

I'm fourteen and still call my mother mommy but people laugh at me and call me immature. I don't think it's wrong, do you?

If a child is apprehended, & you're not sure if you should get a new lawyer or not (Legal Aid, btw) when should you consider getting a new one ? What if you're concerned bout the time factor cuz you don't know where your son/daughter will be on Christmas day ? What's the first sign of getting a new lawyer ? If someone has cases that are similar to the one you have, should you consider him to be an expert ? What if he/she isn't doing what you want & seems to be on the other side ? Again, time is a factor cuz of the holidays. Should you go ahead when you're not sure if the other party involved has a lawyer yet or not ? Could you be wasting precious time by getting a new one ? What are some things that you should know bout your lawyer (what he/she thinks should be done to win your case) Do lawyers have to win to make $ ? Is that the motivation behind it ? Please reply asap. Ty !

I know this is an individual decision but I'm a mid 20s professional with a graduate degree. Can this be my right time? I'm starting to have the desire to be a mother.

All right, here's the deal. I was due on the 27th of November. Still no baby. I was just in the shower, and it kinda felt like I had to pee, and rather than just get out of the shower, which has gotten difficult, I just kinda stood there and water came out. It wasn't yellow, which made me wonder if my water had just broken. There wasn't a lot, and it's not still coming out like I keep reading about. The baby hasn't moved much since this happened, and it feels like she's getting ready to fall out whenever I move. Lots of pressure down there, and towards my rear. (I know, TMI, but I wanted to be sure I got everything down in order to get the best advice!) I've only had two contractions since this happened, but my contractions don't hurt. My stomach tightens and it gets really hard to breath, but that's it.

I know that some people are going to yell and say I should be rushing to the hospital, but I'd have to call an ambulance, so I want to be absolutely sure before I go through that...

This is my first pregnancy. I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant. I know that with your first, it is normal to not feel the baby until around 20 weeks. My question is though - I felt the baby around 15 1/2 to 16 weeks for a few days in a row - it was a light, fluttery feeling. I seemed to feel it everyday in the morning when I was eating. For the past week, however, I have not felt it. Is this normal? To think that you feel it, and then not feel it again? I am not experiencing any spotting or pain or anything like that - just worried/not experienced. Thank you!

We have decided after a few changes in our life, we can not have our dog any longer. We are giving her to my sis-in-law who works in a special needs home (where the dog has been to visit & loved it). So we are going to donate her there, were she can have all the play time and attention that a wonderful Shih tzu needs. The problem is, my 3 yr old daughter is not adapting to the idea (even though she doesnt interact with our dog often). I told her that "we are going to let the doggy go live with the sick people so she can help them get better and you can visit her anytime".. but in response we're getting "no shes my puppy" with a sad lil heartbroken face. I am not sure what to do. We are tryin to do whats best for our family and the dog, and after long talks this is the way to go. I just dont know how to handle this regarding my daughter. I dont want to hurt her, this is hard enough for all of us, but we plan on doing this by Xmas. Advise anyone? Please...

My son is almost 4, he went to karate only a few times and wants to quit.

There are two senseis that teach the class and he is afraid of the woman one. A kid in the class likes to provoke him and gets in his face and the last time he pushed my son and my son smacked him and no one saw the other child push him so I guess no one defended my son, he was scolded by the mom and sensei. I tried to stay out of it but the teacher said "if you hit again you're going to have to go home!" He got really upset and started to cry and came out of the class and never wants to return. (I later on found out from my mother that she witnessed the whole thing that the kid pushed him first)

There is no way of telling who will be the teacher on which day, he prefers the guy sensei but everytime we have gone lately it's been the woman.

What should I do? I know quiting is not good but how can I make a not even 4 yr old understand that he has to stick it out.

My little guy is soon to be 2 years old (wow!! time flys!!) And he is such a mommas boy :) I love him to pieces and enjoy this so much... Its just that sometimes it gets to be a bit too much. Mommy can't move without her little guy plastered to her hip.. lol Has anyone else gone thru this or is going thru this? Sometimes I think it bothers my husband more than me... He wants so much for our son to be daddys little best friend... It just seems its all about momma...

I know that too soon he'll be grown up and not want mommy... but I also need a few moments now and agian where he'll hang with daddy so mommy can breathe... sleep... clean... pee... lol Any suggestions...

When I woke up today I lieterally couldn't get out of bed. No one was home, so I had to inch myself out. It hurts to stand and walk. I felt like I was having a contraction it lasted for about 45 seconds, give or take, it was not a full minute. The baby is extremely active, the kicks and hits are starting to hurt me (she's in the head down position), so I'm starting to feel them in my ribs and upper stomach. I went to the doctor on Monday, he said everything was fine, and she was at the 45 percential for 30 almost 31 weeks.

My question is, is it normal at this time, to just wake up one day and not be able to move? My doctor is no longer in the office, it is 10:07 here and his office closes on Fridays at 9:30. Otherwise I would be on the phone with him asking, but anyone who's been in a similar situation, or knows what could be happening would be a big help.

My girlfriend has a daughter who is 11. My girlfriend gives her daughter $5 a day if she does her chores. I personally dont think that is acceptable because we are enabling her to do things for money and not because this is something that she needs to know how to do when she grows up. She will know how to take care of herself. I believe in allowance but more so because we should as parents give her a little something for her things and to show her the value of money. which i can tell you she does not know the value of a dollar. please advise..should you pay your child money for chores.. and what chores for a child are acceptable.. Remember she is 11..thanks
