Oh, the attitude and can we please keep a freaking job. And no for the 10 billionth time you cannot use my car, you have been provided three vehicles that you have destroyed and have another one sitting out in front of the house that just needs to be made legal, then you can drive it. And your curfew is at 1:00 unless it is a school event or planned in advance, why can't you make it home on time...you're almost 19 and setting a really bad example for your 9 yr old sister and 12 yr old brother. stop laying around in bed all day and get some stuff done, you start school in a month. What can I do to enforce these things with my college age child still living at home? We're about just ready to pack up her stuff and set it out in the front yard. Please don't bother to answer if you don't have anything constructive to offer. To everyone else, thank you for your efforts.

My son, when he was younger (he's 10 now), used to suffer from HORRIBLE night terrors. He's gone awhile without having them, but last night had another episode of them. Is this something that kids eventually outgrow, or is it possible he could have them his whole life?

My friend and I both have daughters around the same age. her daughter is almost 3 and a half (6 months older than my little one). Her daughter does not speak very well for her age - still what I would consder toddler babble and she looks quite dopey - I know that sounds cruel, but its hard to explain! My friend didn't know she was pregnant until something like 34 weeks ( yes, im serious), and did quite a bit of drinking before she knew. Could this be a reason why her daughter is reasonably slow in talking etc? what effects can alcohol have on unborn babies that carry on after birth?

My neighbor is going to be looking after my daughter a few hours per week (she's 3), and I want to know what's appropriate to pay her per hour.
She's a lady who's already retired, and looking after her own grandchild at the same time. I'd be paying her in cash. What would be an appropriate rate?

She moved away to "get some space" and told me she was pregnant, we only had sex 1 time about 1 month before she left. she said she took 2 lab tests and they were positive. I really didnt believe her and wasnt really "into it" then she says she didnt get her period for 2 months and then she says she had a miscarrage.

Is this even remotly possible? or did she make the whole damn thing up to test me.

The reason we broke up is because I didnt want to get married after 5 years of living together. (we have both been divorced with children and I thought we should wait)

I know abortion is a hot topic right now. I'm not asking if you are pro-choice or pro-life. I don't really care! Abortion (as of right now) is mostly legal--if you like it or not--it is.

I was watching a show about teenagers and abortion and I'm torn in two. I don't know what to think or what is best, what do you think?

Parent-Permission for Abortion? This means parents have to consent to an abortion before the procedure can be preformed.

Parent-Notification for Abortion? This means parents are informed but the teenager can make her own choice--regardless of how the parent feels.

--OR--

No parent involvement at all? This of course is when a teenager can just go out, get it done, and her parents do not ever have to know about it.

How do you feel? What should the law be?

My son, Armando, is tired of his name. He is 9 and wants his friend Nate to start getting proud of him! (it's about time ;-8)

He wants to change his name to something unusal and really hard to say; we have agreed (though his brothers are upset). We have been thinking about:
Kcuhfaah
Chenchertteenine
Mustahtihtih
Gormak
Nchem

Any better suggestions for some "unusual" names?

know what babyshowers are for the baby but is it wrong to think that a mother should get something that caters to just them. I know that the gifts are for you but is more catered to your baby is it selfish to want something that is just for you. This is just question i was just thinking. not my own personal views.

does Illinois give special treatment to pregnant women who commit murder? I don't mean the meth users who can be charged with murder if their child dies or a woman who has killed her own children.... I mean a woman who is pregnant and goes into the streets and kills someone or who has killed their husband who was NOT abusing them in any way...

i am 5 days late and have had mild cramping on and off for about a week now ( they are like dulll menstrual cramps- more annoying than anything) i thought i was getting my period when i first noticed it but of course no period- i thought that was strange because that has never happened to me in the past( the only time i get cramps is when i have already noticed my period) I also have frequent urination and constipation. Is this cramping normal and is it also normal to come and go??? or should it be more constant??
