I'm 19.I live alone in Boston.My parents are in LA,so they are too far.Anyway I was pregnant and a week ago I delivered triplets(3 girls).It was a very hard delivering,I thought I would die.But I'm better now.I work a job,which "needs" me 2 hours a day.So,when I was pregnant and thought I'd have 1 kid and considered going to work after fed the baby and return in 2 hours and keep taking care of the baby.But now they are 3!!! I'm not sure that leaving the 3 is very good - if they sleep and one of them begins to cry,the others will wake up and begin crying too.In that case,the neighbours will complain.What should I do?

I feel bad saying this because i love her so much but its getting hard to lie to her AND to myself; its like im in denial about her physical appearance, i tell my myself she's beautidul but shes just not beautiful...actually shes FAR from beautiful. what can I do?

i always thought my kids would be beautiful because im pretty and my husband is pretty good looking. my older daughter whom is 15 is gorgeous and i tell her all the time. i even tell my younger daughter who is 13 that shes beautiful but its a lie and its been getting harder and harder for me to lie.

my mother says i obsess too much about how they look and how they dress. she says im too obsessed with my own physical appearance also. that's true because i'm only 31 and am too young to stray away from caring about what i look like so i dont know what to do or what to think. and don't be rude. I feel really bad calling a 13 year old ugly but it's the truth, and i DO love her so much....

Hi im 16 and am having a baby. I DO NOT believe in abortion so adoption and keeping are my only options. Please post any comments/views you have on whether or not you think it is possible for my boyfriend and I to properly raise our child. The one thing that is standing in the way is I have yet to graduate HS but my Boyfriend is going into his second year of college. This is really getting to me. Thanks for your time well spent!

I have been alone since Novmeber. My kids might be coming back. But I have two jobs.

My first job is at the local news station. I love the work. There is a real future here, with medical, dental, free cable, and much more.

My other job is at Taco Bell. They offer some stuff to managers, but not much. But they are also paying $1.35 more than the station.

Which should I keep? The station is less stressful, but the pay is better at Taco Bell... I get over 40 hours at the station, and 30-36 at Taco Bell.

Please help me... I will be a single mom.

I have three wonderful kids and I want the best for them...

Here's the thing, I became a father for the first time about a year ago. My relationship has never been quite good with my wife since we got married. When my boy was five months I recieved a phonne call from a former girlfriend and i said, hey why not. We had the time of our lives, she had a 4 year old daughter already. we saw eachother about once a month. Yesterday we met at a shopping mall and she told me that she has cancer and she's dying, and she told me that I am the father of the 4 year old girl. She told me that she tried to find me, but her mother went to have some liver treatment at Houston and she lost contact, she just arrive back in town, her mother died a little ago. How do I tell my wife that I have a daughter?

He works 12 per day (but he doesn't have to becouse there is no many problems), he works also in sunday...
As a father or as a husband he's not really good... all he can talk about is what you have to do... I don't wanna be like him when I'll be a parent... do you think that there is a cnace that I don't repite this mistake?

Is it just me?? I mean, I'm a mother, seperated from my husband, and as much as things are not great between my ex and I ... I think that the UK Legal system is SO unfair on Fathers.

I mean, without getting too personal... I hate the fact that mothers can F off with their kids to a different country or whatever, and ask for half of everything!!! Yes - Fair enough if they own things like pensions and homes etc. but I just think if they don't own it, or haven't worked for it... they should get Sweet FA of it!

It really winds me up!!!!!!! Because no matter what my ex could have ever done to me - I couldn't take my son away from his daddy, they are too close, and I would never ask for half of his pension or life assurance. All I would ask is that our son get what he's entitled to!

And I don't mean any offence to some of my friends on here, cause they have been in different situations than me and have had to take kids away etc. So Sorry if this hurts xox

What do you reckon?

Presently a girl is living with her parents due to physical and mental torture by her in-laws. Right now she is not sure of leaving her husband legally nor she is asking for any maintenance from here husband. She has a one year old son with her. What are the chances that if in future, her in-laws approach the court for custody of her son, they will get it and what will happen to the child, if both parents fight in the court. Upto what time she can stay with her parents, without seeking any legal procedure?

My daughter is 2 1/2 and I am thinking of weaning her off her binky. My family and friends have been pushing me to to this for awhile but I think it is time. Any suggestions how to do this or when?

I have Juris doctorate, and my husband is international real estate, I just started working in a firm, I have friends that have children and they ask what I am going to do when I have kids, I tell them I am going to be a lawyer, and they ask me why I don't want to stay home with my kids. Why is it only me that is asked that, and why not my husband? Why is it the women who has to stay home? I mean I know it's good for the kids, and all this stuffl, but why me? Why don't they ask my husband to do it, or when he is going to quit his job?

I mean, a parent is a parent, when we have kids, we are going to split it up so that I am working part time and he is working part time, so that the kids have both parents. I just think it is so much better that way.

I grew up with just a stay at home mom, and a dad who worked all of the time, I would have much rather had both parents there. Babies need both mommies and daddies present.

Just don't understand why raising the children falls solely on me.
