My stepdad, who is my only dad as far as I 'm concerned. He has Asperger's which is a form of autism, and I know that it makes him somewhat distant. He can't really connect with anyone on a deep level. I understand this and love him anyway. He and my momdivorced when i was 11, but he remained treating me like his daughter. he has no biological children. Now, I know that he can say the words "I love you. " I have heard him say it to my mom and my aunt. Yet, he has never said those words to me. I know he does love me, he shows it on other ways, and has since I was a kid. But I am 22 years old now, and although it may seem like a petty thing, I really want my dad to tell me loves me. Just once. Then I'll be happy. But I don't want to make him uncomfortable. How should I approach this? Or would it be better to just let it go? He doesn't have to say it every day. Just once.

I was due to have one in September. When I spoke to my doctor about having one done he suggested that I wait until I was in my 2nd trimester before having one done as I have had 2 previous miscarriages. I'm now 20 weeks pregnant and was wondering if I can have one or should I wait until the baby is born? I'm due on 27th April 2008.

I was told by my doctor on last Friday that my baby is a ferret as it kept burrowing away from him (this was his words) and that it is a drama-queen as its doing the whole movie fake fainting spell thing.

I also cannot find out the baby's sex at the moment as it/he/she didnt seem to like to doctor or having its picture taken

- refuses to have anything to do with poops and pees (and diapers in general).
- avoids doing anything that might pose a risk (like bath as he might drown baby, picking up/carrying baby as baby may fall, etc)
- at nighttime feeding, wakes up only to bark when mom fails to keep baby quiet, thus disrupting his otherwise peaceful slumber.
- vows never to touch or do anything with baby until there's no more risk (until he's no longer liable for any damage happens to baby, or until baby can take care of itself) or until baby can play or watch football.
- as baby breastfeeds, then all feedings and feeding-related activities are mom's responsibility.
- agrees to watch baby sometimes, as long as he can do it while sitting in front of his computer or tv.
- when asked to hold baby for a while, threatens to shake baby.
- expects mom to cook, clean, and put baby to sleep as quick as possible so that they can have some intimacy and perhaps make more babies.

When im breastfeeding..is it ok if my 3 day old baby will eat maybe 30 minutes and then 3-4 hrs later only eat for like 5min and then not eat again another 3-4 hrs?? I try waking her up but she doesnt. I feel she doesnt eat enough.. she can sleep 6 hrs straight if i let her.. she also hasnt pooped since yesterday around 7pm (but the pedi said he isnt worried not just yet) so normal? If not should i be breastfeeding more? Her poop "says" i still just have colostrum, so my milk hasnt come in yet exactly.. sorry so many questions im just new at this.

I learned from health class that only 30% of teens under 18 have had sex. Does that surprise you? Did you think it was more or less?

I mean technically i can not go I know that. But i want my baby to be sociable and be okay with a bunch of people around. But at 6 months old people are frowning upon her still brestfeeding. i know its recommended until 1 yr but you cant reason with know it alls who say "i think all babies should be weaned by 4 months" "breastmilk has more fat than formula thats why the babies are so fat look at her legs" "by now breastmilk is too light for her she needs something more heavy" it gets freaking annoying i mean what did babies do before formula? NURSE! They were appalled when I told them babies nurse past 1 year old and this can be...gasp...normal. 2 yrs old was ridiculous for them. Should I just stop going altogether? I am tired of defending a good choice for both me and baby its aggravating and draining. I need to give them all books to educate themselves this xmas. Its like it doesnt matter what I say with most people laughing at me that i nurse more often than they must formula feed

My other mom friends have gossipped about this other mom saying "I like her daughter, but her mom is an alcoholic, if you watch her daughter for a few hours, count on watching her for 12." I have witnessed this myself. So the other mothers are distancing their children from the alcoholic's daugher.

My grandmother was a chronic alcoholic for years. My mother is still quietly suffering emotionally from growing up with a mother who was neglectful. As a result, my mother doesn't touch alcohol and has grown-up to be a productive member of society and she was a very caring if not overprotective mom.

I asked my mom if I should risk losing my gossipy "mom friends" to help this little girl...and let her play at my house with my daughter for the 12 hours just to help HER as the daughter of an alcoholic. My mother said as she got older she became aware of not being able to bring friends home and all she wanted was a best friend, a mother-type who showed she cared for her.What'd you do?

Well, we thought we were completely satisfied with the names Benjamin Rowan and Ryan Blake for our twins. My husband told me that he LIKES the names, but they are to common for him. He likes Chad, but I didn't like it as a full name so we came up with Chadden Blake and Bryce Christopher. Which set of names do you like best?

**We are still open to suggestions. We like the idea of "reverse initials" for their names though!

Thanks everyone!

My son is 17 months old and dosen't talk. He had said Mama and Daddy, but, rarely. He does everything but talk, he points, makes animal sounds (only a couple), shows me what he wants, brings me toys to play, looks and points at picture book with me, dances to All music, laughs, has good eye contact, very social with people he knows (not with people he dosen't), knows his eyes, nose, mouth, ears, toes, and belly, looks or comes when hears his name, but, no clear talking. Should I worry?
