The other night, my 5 year old son smacks his older sister causing her to have a nose bleed. This was at the encouragement of one of his acquientances.

We did have an immediate discussion and he was immediately reprimanded by having to go to sleep early.

I can't help but feel more needs to be done. Should I leave it at this or is further punishment required?

All I find just describes the positions verbaly. I want something I can print off and take with me to the hospital as a 'quick reference' to look at and try out while in labour. I need to see diagrams or pictures. I wish I could have a midwife to guide me and offer suggestions, but I wont because it isnt funded under my healthcare...I get a doctor, in a hospital.

My fiance and I have broken up (cheater) and I will only have a girlfriend with me. I am trying to prepare for this birth (have 2 teens already) and basicly know I will be pretty much 'on my own'. It is possible that the hospital staff will be supportive of my strong desire to try alternate positions...but I think it is best to educate myself and be prepared the best I can.

All I know is -I am not getting an epidural again, and I do not plan to push out the baby on my back or semi sitting. If I had lots of money I would have my privately, in a birthing pool with a doula/midwife- but I can't...Im alone and broke :(

I am for abortion and i don't get how people say it is murder when it is a medical procedure.
What do you call that in iraq when all these american soldiers kill men, women and their kids. Is that not murder? If you are against abortion then are you against what these soldiers do too or do you support them killing?
Just wondering....

I am only 10 weeks pregnant so hubby has a long time to think about this but as soon as i told him i was pregnant he stated that no matter what he is NOT going to be in the delivery room because he has a weak stomach and is scared he will pass out. So I will be in the room alone since all my family lives across the country and cant really afford to travel. Fathers, did you go in the delivery room when your child was born, why or why not? And Moms, did any of you have this conflict with your significant other or go through this alone? if so, how did you feel about it, or how would you have felt if you loved one didnt go in with you?

My best friend had 2 children with her first husband and he died when her youngest was 3. She remarried and had a third child about 8 years later. I had told her that I would give her a shower, but her sister wanted to be the one to give her a shower, so I stepped back and let her do the planning and I gave her a bunch of gifts instead. Well now, less than a year later, she is pregnant with her fourth child. I don't really think it is necessary to give her a shower, because I know that she has all or at least most of the nessecities from her last baby, like a stroller, swing, bouncy seat, etc. I do plan on getting her a gift, like I have before, but I don't know if I should give her a shower. I have read in some parenting magazines that after the first or second baby, it is not customary to give a woman a shower, but I had planned on giving her one with the 3rd child, since it had been 8 years inbetween that one and her 2nd. Should I give her one for this baby?

Alright all you beautiful people! Hope you're having a great Turkey Day. Here's my predicament.

I'm an attractive 22 year old Asian man, 6'1" 210 lb, I'm also financially independent. I live with my gorgeous 21 yr old Caucasian girlfriend whom I've known since HS. Recently she got pregnant! After MUCH discussion, we decided to have the baby. Problem is, her parents don't even know we've been living together for the past 3 months. How the heck are we going to break THIS news?

Am I stressing over nothing? We're both adults and finance isn't really even an issue; we both work and get paid well. I guess I'm worried because although I've had good relations with mom, her dad doesn't really like me. He's just overprotective I guess. Anyways...

I should be ecstatic about the baby and here I am worried about what her parents will think.

BUT, they're hosting the Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Should we tell them in front of everyone? Good or Bad idea?? I'm leaving in 30 minutes!! Gulp

My husband and I have been married for a year, and I recently found out I was pregnant. We're both college educated with white collar jobs, we own a house, and we're financially stable.

My husband asked me to abort the baby. He said he just didn't feel ready. I refused, and I felt like he had begun to come around.

We told my in-laws, and the first thing my mother in law said was "you don't have enough money, and (my husband) won't be able to get his master's degree" (he never intended to). She makes jokes about how the baby is a mistake, and tells us repeatedly that we should have waited.

She asked me today what I wanted for Christmas, and I told her baby stuff would be great, 'cause that would help us save money.

She replied, "Well, if you wanted to save money, you should have thought about that before you went and got pregnant."

My husband laughed and didn't say anything. When I started to cry, he told me to grow up. What do I do?

I bumped into some-one I was in a care home with yesterday.

When I first met her she was 17, with 2 babies who had been taken into care, and were awaiting adoption-
She had her first child at 14 years old, and second child at 16.

Yesterday she was pushing a double buggy with twins in, both 3 months old...
When asked how she'd been, she told me (unashamedly, that she was a heroin addict) and that a THIRD child had been born (prior to the twins) addicted to heroin, and heartbreakingly, had been put on a methadone programme at birth, and put on the 'child protection register'
It took the local authorities 8 months before they took the baby into care and put her on the adoption list also.

Now at the age of 24, she has just had her twins, both born with heroine addictions too, and also put on the 'child protection register'
It is only a matter of time, until these poor babies are also taken into care.

My question is,
Should she be sterilised without her consent?
