when i was fit i never experienced this. i am a 17 yr. old male. yet now as i am "gaining" (i've put on 65+lbs. of fat in the past few months on purpose) yet my belly until recently stuck straight out... yet i noticed it is finally slightly hanging now... (it's a whopping 47inches) my question is why did people who had stomach's smaller than mine hang, while mine stuck straight out almost as though it were pregnant/budda belly/pumpkin belly weird for a dude. but anyway i just dont get why it took my belly this long to start hanging & wutnot... thanx!

i dont drink or anything either... just binge on ALOT of sweets dont workout etc. etc.

My mom used to laugh at me about this, but it honestly bothers me when my butt crack gets all sweaty. When my butt is
sweaty I avoid sitting down in a chair because the sweaty underpants and sweaty
butt crack makes me cringe. Please don't delete this message,
I am being totally honest. I usually shove a soft pile of toilet
paper in my butt crack which seems to help a little bit.
But then there's also the problem of sweaty underwear.
Am I the only person who thinks about this?

My daughter, who just turned six in the first grade, is making sure I know we WILL go on vacation together for every day she no longer has school after she graduates. She even specified where. *sigh* No, I did not give her this idea.... Any way I can use her "planning" to my advantage when it comes time to do homework or should I pretend she doesn't say it at all or change the subject? I already listened and said that sounds like fun a couple times.

I have 3 girls so far...and I really want 2 boys to kind of even things out and bring a different dynamic into the house. But at the same time I wonder if I did have two more kids and they didn't come out boys could I be happy with a house full of girls? Has anyone had all girls and been happy with their family? What kinds of things are better about girls then boys? Don't get me wrong though I love my girls to death!

I am a mother of 2 awesome little boys ages 3 and 6. I have been seperated from there father for nearly 2 years. I just found out i am expecting another chld and my ex is so mad that he says he's gonna fight to get custody of our oldest son. He doesn't understand that both our children are too young to decide something like this. he wants to comfront the 6 year old tomorrow and ask where he wants to live. When my children are with there father ( 2 weeks a month) and i see them they always ask when can we come home mommy we miss you , so why would he try to do this to our kids. Also last week my son was telling me that his father hit him in the face and left a mark and he told our son if the teacher asks say you fell , if i had my son tell a lawyer this would my chances of gaining complete custody be easier . I don't want to see them being hurt because he's 6 and can't tie his shoes !! this is such a screwed up mess , i love my children and i only want the best for them.

Hi, my daughter is constanting tantruming about everything from what she is eating for dinner and bed time. She makes a scene in the market and at peoples houses. I have tried talking to her, time outs, takling her favorite toys away. I have to hold her in the time out chair because she will not sit. She is going to Kindergarten next September and I want this behavior to stop. Also she has been going to daycare and preschool 2 days a week and her teachers say she is an angel. She works well with the other kids, gets all her work done and is very polite. Someone please help me.....

Im 15 and a freshman in highschool and i want to go to this party, and its not like one of those typical high school parties. One of my friends is having all of the people on the cross country team over to hang out. (about 30 people all together) and the party goes untill 11:00. my parents will only let me stay untill 9:00 even thought her parents will be there. my older brother who is 18 and really protective of me will be there, i am an A student and have never even gotten dtention, and they know almost all of the people who will be there. when i ask why i can't stay later they wont explain why, does this seem like a reasonable curfiew, and why would they not let me stay later.

Okay, i have heard a rumor about paying child support, and need to find out if it is true. Here is the senerio:
A man is court ordered to pay Child Support each month. let's say he pays 300.00 a month. But he only sends a check for 50.00. Nothing can be done about it since he is attempting to pay.

Is this true? Can he get away with only payiing part of it? What happens if he doesnt pay the full amount owed each month? I know what happens if a man doesnt pay Child Support at all, but can he get in trouble if he only pays a portion of it each month?

My niece came over today for awhile to play with my son. She is 7, he is 5. I found them playing "doctor" in his room, when I asked what they were doing she started freaking out and begging me not to tell her Grandma (she lives between her mom and her grandma because her mom is a skank and doesnt really take good care of her). She started saying it was my son who "made me do it". I know this is a lie because she has done things in the past that seemed overly sexual for a child to do. I think she has picked things up from her mother, My son told me she makes him play it in the car when grandma babysits them both. I am worried about her because she knows too much for being so little and I am afraid she will continue to do sexual things, something I feel could cause endless problems for her as she grows. Grandma cant control her and her mom doesnt care. Should I just keep my son away from her and tell her grandma/mom and hope they finally do something? I dont suspect she is being abused.

I have been a fully custodial step mother for about a year now to kids ages 10-20. I’ve noticed that I’m expected to endure all kinds of atrocious behaviors from the step children. Their parents divorced 8 years ago/ 3 years before I met their father. I’ve never met his mother. She speaks no English and lives in another country. I’m told by my society that I have all of the responsibilities of a mother but none of the power or respect (you are never to discipline them in any way and just know that they will probably treat you badly for a long time). They even at ages as old as 18 can be disrespectful to me, lie to me, steal from me, incite arguments between me and their Dad, ignore me…the list could go on for pages. What am I to do about being treated this way? I’m told to keep an open mind and an open heart. I’m told that they are “just hurting” or that I should “keep trying to win their respect”. I’m told this by talk show hosts, by some friends and by 70% of ppl here. Why is this?

I've noticed that a lot of people are really all about how the parent should not try to "control" the child. I once asked if I should consider swatting the rear end of a 10 yr old that was coughing for 2 days and plagued with body aches for refusing to take medicine. For that I was called a "horrible person" and other hostile remarks. I've been told that asking a child to apologize is "pulling a power trip". Each generation seems to be turning out more slackers, more whiners, more instant gratifications types, more dishonesty and less hard workers than the next since the BB generation. Then swearing at your parents got U a spay of whoop-azz and parents were EXPECTED to execute control and direction over their kids. Many parenting styles changed in the 70s and 80s. If this works why is it that in the areas of personal responsibility, work ethics, honesty, ability to delay gratification and work hard for a goal, etc. Gen X and Gen Y are to the Baby Boomers as a Yugo is to a Mercedes?

Judge sets bond for man charged repeatedly with sex crimes
by Brian Vandenberg, KY3 News

OZARK, Mo. -- The lawyer for a man from Nixa who is accused of more than 20 sex crimes with children in four counties said Wednesday afternoon that he expected his client to be out of jail by that night. A judge set a $25,000 bond for Larry Savage on the latest charge against him, sexual exploitation of a minor, and ordered him to appear in court again on Oct. 25 for a preliminary hearing.

Christian County sheriff’s deputies hoped a judge would not set a bond, keeping Savage in jail until he’s tried. Savage surrendered on Tuesday afternoon after deputies spent several days looking for him with an arrest warrant.
