i'm only 16 and am still living with my parents, they hate my boyfriend, but that cant change the fact that hes the father of my child. He hasnt supported me with money, which I agree with them that he should be, but he was there for me and still wants to be with me and the baby and they told him that he isnt aloud near me or the baby, can they do this? is it right? what can I do?

and i gave this answer but now can't find it.so here it is again beetween 30 and 50 million abortions have happened in america since 1973.i and most of the people i know are liberal and have never had or forced someone to have an abortion so do not blame liberals for abortion.the doctors only do what the individual asks.i wanted that ten points and was the only person that answered the question seriously.http://realchoicespcc.org/abortion.html

My husband belives in using spanking when our boys misbehaive or are disrespectful in a more serious way. The boys are my husbands but i adopted them legaly when we got married. My 9 year old hit me today and my husband wanted to spank him but i stoped him. We disagree on this method. Although our son is a strong willed child i think we should insist with groundings and bannings, taking priviledges away. Do you think that considering my husband is the biological parent i should let him have the final decision and not interfer ?

Here's the thing...I am in my first year of teaching, and I am currently on an anti-depressant (this summer was rough, but I feel fine now...have to be on it at least 6 more months).

I have wanted a child with my husband ever since we started dating (I just knew he was the one), but he wants to I don't know, go see the world or something. But that isn't my thing...I just want to be a mom. I want to love a child!

We don't own a house yet, but I honestly don't think that matters. That seems to be his major "litmus test" of parenthood.

What do you think?

Why do we as moms feel the need to bash each other? I mean, someone says they don't want to breastfeed, for whatever reason, and OMG! I mean honestly, shouldn't we be supportive of each other? I know "breast is best", whatever. The the fact of the matter is, it's not for everyone, and someone who chooses not to is not putting their baby in harm's way. Someone asks what kind of formula, or bottle. then that's what they want to know, if you're going to say "breast", then do it if you feel the NEED to, but don't bash! So, why can't we just respect each others views. I mean if you answer a question to help someone, that's what you should try to do. If you're not trying to help, then DON'T ANSWER! Someone says they spank their kids (not beat, or abuse, just spank) and you get all these people bashing them. Why can't we just be supportive of each other. Realize that parenting is hard work, and that most parents (not all) are trying their hardest to do the best they can?

I had my vasectomy back in 1987, when I was 21. I have no children (planned it that way). In 1993 a woman put my name on the birth certificate of her son. Needless to say, she attempted to score some child support. I know two others this sort of thing has happened to. Do you have a story?

What type of audio devices can you recommend for allowing my baby to listen to music while in the womb? The headphones from a standard diskman obviously don't work that well on my tummy, and I have heard of a special type of headphones etc that would work for it. But I just can't think of what it would be called :)

I just found out I'm having a girl. My husband and I originally said if it was a girl, we'd name her Angelina because it is his grandmother's name, and it reminds me of my grandmother because she always used to play Louis Prima albums. However, we've changed our minds because it's become so popular, and I always wanted my child to have a name of her own that wasn't shared with 1 or 2 other kids in her class. We like Italian names, but now we're stuck. We've come up with Marlena, Magdalena, Rosabella, and some others, but we're still just in the brainstorming stage.

I have a son who was adopted by a very loving family and we chose open adoption. This has worked out really well and when the child is old enough they will tell him all about me and the adoption. They adopted before and the situation has worked out really well with the other adoption. Someone I have been seeing told me lastnight that I should stop all contact with them because it will mess the child up mentally. I'm just wondering what do others think about open v closed adoption ?

Did you smoke as a teenager / young adult? How would you react if you found out your teenage kids were smoking? Would you allow them to smoke in front of you?

My husband and I had our first daughter just this June. I'm 19, he is 23, graduated, and a Naval Officer. I'm working on becoming an RN. The question here is do we wait until our daughter is five to have another baby, or do we start planning out one for when she's two? I have two sisters, and I'm closer wtih my older sister (we are two years apart), whereas my younger sister I barely relate to (we are four years apart). What should I do? Would it be best to just wait that long? Or is it still possible to finish up a degree with two young children?

There is a lot of anti-abortion sentiment to be found on Yahoo and regardless of what anyone thinks on EITHER side of the issue, I just have to wonder if the ones that are the biggest advocates of "murder prevention" ever adopt these babies from the social services system?

This is not meant to be an explosive question aimed at getting anyone fired up about the issue of abortion. I simply would like to see some statistics or hear stories of gung-ho pro-life advocates who have such passion for the issue that they adopt (or provide foster care to) these children that they try to save.

I'm just interested to know what happens AFTER the birth.
