A woman in my city was brutally beaten and raped by a gang of men. Although the men were charged and convicted of the crime the courts are telling the rape victim that she must have and raise her child because the rape is her own fault. They said that if she wasn't dressed so provocatively, and out looking for drugs, that this never would have happened to her. So now she is forced to raise a baby that she does not want and probably cannot even take care of. Should they be able to force a rape victim to keep their child??

Something musical, fun and funny (to a 5-year old girl in kindergarten) would be great, but I'm up for anything as we prepare for a long Thanksgiving road trip. If it's somewhat entertaining to adults (or at least not totally irritating), that would be extra special! Thanks.

molly coddling my grandson far too much. And that if he is not to get bullied at school she needs to help him to stand on his own two feet more. Cruel to kind.

How do you think I ought to handle this delicate subject? Thank you!

I understand how she feels what with him being her only child and all and that she waited a long time to have him due to fertility problems.

howdy
ok I was watching TV and saw a commercial for a disinfectant spray (LYSOL to be specific) and in the commercial the parent is concerned about the kid putting toys in their mouth that have ROTOVIRUS on them.. so the loving parent sprays the toy with the LYSOL (aerosol) spray.. and it struck me as odd that a parent would prefer their kid to injest chemicals but not natural viruses...
so my question to Doctors is - Which is more dangerous in the long run.. the virus or the chemical spray??
my question to Parents is - Would you not be more concerned about the kid injesting the chemical spray??

As a guy I find it easier to make friends with men then women. First men are less selective on whom they talk too. Most women I run into only want to talk to men in their social-economic group and perfect on the physical aspect. If you are missing just one of those you are disqualified.. Men could care less on how you dress, what you do for a living or what you drive......women do care. Example, I drive an old Ford and male co-workers jump in without a second thought. Most of my females co-workers are like they rather die than be seen in my car. A guess my follow up question is why do men for the most part just don't give a **** (nonchalant) on whom they associate with and why are women so selective even for small talk and no strings attached social interactions even among men they see everyday like coworkers?

Do all sibling fight?....my kids fight like cats and dogs all the time, they sometimes get quite vicious. They are not around fighting, my husband and i never argue in front of them, i always watch what they see on television, i dont let them play violent games, but it seems they will fight over absolutely everything no matter how small, do they really dipise each other so much or do you think this could be an attempt at gaining our attention as there are 4 of them.?

This forum is a prime example of why we need to teach protection from an early age. Teaching about birth control is not giving a green light to have sex, but only the tools to make intelligent decisions later on.

Does it bother you that so many children have access to obscene comments and images on Yahoo? Should Yahoo be the one responsible for shielding our children? Have you seen the pics available on 360???

Should the parents be the ones protecting their children or should Yahoo hold the responsibility?

I'm very sickened by what's available to young children. No wonder there are more kids having sex at younger ages...it's all they see. Everywhere...TV, internet, music, and video games. Sex is everywhere.

Or if you don't have kids, how old would you like to be when you have yours? Do you regret the age you had kids at?

I'm tired of people telling me my children are short. My children are , 9, 7 and twins that are almost 5. All four of them are slender and not of average height. My twins look like they are 3 1/2 and not almost 5. People ask how old they are and when I tell them they say "Wow they are short" Sometimes I will get "My son is 3 and he's taller than your kids!" No one in my family is tall- me, my husband, both sets of parents and and all grandparents are ALL under 5'6" So they are not going to be tall.
I know this one woman who always comments on their size. Sometimes I fell like saying "Yeah well your fat" Of course I would never insult anybody like that. Does anyone have any snappy comments to rude remarks? I don't want to insult anybody.

The twins had to go to a specialist to check their growth they are fine but may need HGH
