I just saw a question about Bratz dolls and I just wanted to see how many parents out there allow their children to have these things. How many of you have kids who have one of these? They even make some of them now wearing corsets! Has our society really sunk this low?

I am 43 and pregnant with my third child. I have two other children, but they are 15 and 16 years old. At the littlest, there will be a 15 year age gap between my soon-to-be baby and my youngest right now. How will my teenagers act around it? When the baby is older, it might feel lonely since they will already be out of the house and living by themselves. What is your opinion on this?

Some clarification. My Gf is 20 weeks pregnant. I love her very much and nothing will cange that. In fact I hope to get married. But, she is pregnant and dosen't "want to make love". I want sex, It is important to me. Is it okay to have sex with a former f!@# buddy? If she dosen't find out. I would use protection of course. I think she might appreciate a break from me wanting sex all the time.

This is in regard to screaming child in my home daycare. To makea long story short, the 11 mo. old cried for attention all day, when you would put him down after meeting his needs +extra to attend to another child, hed scream until you held him again, hit other kids,would not hold his own bottle, etc.(Had 2 hold him like a newborn to get him to drink and was overweight)I was more than willing 2 deal with him until other kids became increasingly upset with him and his mom was bringing him in sick.(It spread)I knew it was over.Question was notice or no notice?When she came 2 pick him up that day she informed me that she would be late picking him up 2morrow cause she had stuff 2 do.She didnt ask me could I or how much would I charge her, she TOLD me.She was already 2 days behind on her bill, even though she agreed 2 my no charging rule, and then B4 she left when asked 4 payment,said "i'll give it 2 U 2morrow.This is on top of everything else, like dropping him off 30 mins early every AM.

I hear a story on the news the other day about a woman who was killed and her unborn child had been cut out of her womb. I had never heard of such a thing until a few years ago and now it seems like there is one or two of these cases every year! I know it's the medias job to cover such stories are they are of human interest, but are they just giving people ideas? Would these isck individuals really thinks of such things on there own or do they just hear it on the news and think it sounds like a good idea?

I am torn whether to file child support or not. The reason being that my childs father is not on the birth certificate and he is not a good person. He has done countless wrongs to me but that is besides the point. He doesn't have the best enviroment for our child, he has a clinical disorder abuses drugs and alcohol, he is just basically not mentally stable. The values he states he wants to instill in our child are just horrible. I dont ever want to tell my child I told your father to go away. If I file child support, he will not pay(as he has told me) and he will be given parental rights. How he abuses himself is nothing I can prove in a court. This is making me just sick!! Any rights he gets he will use. Whenever he has taken the baby he comes back with a dirty diaper and upset. I have learned my lesson about judgment in people. I need a second opinion.

What do you think of the names Rena and Lois? They are family names so that would probably be the only reason we would ever use them. Too old sounding?

and become more responsible.. I have been with my bf for 2 years.. i want to have a baby. I am 24 and he's 27. I am just affraid that If I were to get preg that I would be the one taking care of it and all. while he still goes off and hangs out with his friends and does whatever.. His last ex-gf had gotten preg and he quit drinkin, dressed up all the time, and didn't want to go out much anymore, but then he found out that she had cheated on him and the baby wasn't his.. He knows i'm not gonna go anywhere.. and he knows i'm faithfull to him. and I trust he is to me..

Why does it seem like my family is so against me having kids? They all love my girls and they love being grandparents/aunts/uncles to them. And we never ask for help and are good parents. Then why are they always saying stuff to me like don't have anymore kids anytime soon or things like that? My husband and I both agree that we want more kids and we don't mind having them spaced close together. Shouldn't the decision be only up to us? It's not like we are asking for advice from them. And I could understand if we were always mooching off of them or weren't being responsible. Should I just ignore their comments and do what I want? Or is there some reason why maybe I should listen to what they say? We have 3 girls, spaced 20 months apart.

I've heard in several instances that sending a child to day care is wrong. I don't understand this. If you check out the day care before hand and know it is a good, caring, and reputable place what is wrong with it? Do you see day care as a threat to parenting? What is the difference between day care and school? If it is such a horrible thing to let our children be with other children who have different values and whose parents have different parenting techniques, should we not send our children to school either?

I have this rash all over my stomach and especially on my belly button. It slightly itches, but on my belly button I could just itch it all day. I have read some things on the internet, about a disease or something that can cause my baby to not grow? Has anyone ever had to deal with something like this? I am 21 weeks pregnant, and am getting bigger in my tummy, but I use lotion, and it is just my belly button that itches soooo bad. I have had two kids before, so I think I know the average itching/ streaching theory. But if any of you have another theory, (other than a growing tummy) that might help me out thanks..... oh also, I cleaned all my bed sheets, and have used this laundary soap, and lotion for years, so no change there.

Check this out!!?
I took a pt at the doctor's office on 9-6-06 & it was negative!! Exactly 2 wks later, I took a HPT and it was positive! The next day, I did a serum test and it was positive and my cycle was due on the 21st of sept. I started what seems to be a light period on 9-23 and I took a HPT the same day and it was positive. The bleeding is light red and it's not flowing like a normal period. If I wouldn't have taken the PT, I would think that it's a light period. Is this implantation since it's only been 2 wks? I went to the doctor and they did a urine and a serum test and I won't know the results until tomorrow!! I'm nauseated and tired and I've gained 2 lbs since Thursday!! Has anyone experienced this and had a normal pregnancy or have a miscarriage??????

Ladies, I was wondering After having a child What turns you off about sex?

The only reason I ask is because my fiance just had a baby boy 7 months ago. And now she is saying that sex is overrated and if she doesn't have sex then she will be happy because all she wants is me.

What makes you ladies have sex right after the 6 week period of waiting but then get turned off of sex right after?
