a friend of mine "guy" said he noticed since he was a kid that he liked boys and not girls.
Nothing wrong with that.View Thread






Today for example, she was playing throughout the day and then toward night time she developed a fever of 102 degrees within an hour or two.
My question is what could be contributing to my child getting sick so often?
And also what could she have that makes her develop a fever so rapidly?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.View Thread

My four and a half year old son is very smart but I feel he uses his smarts for more than what it is to be meant for. He has been escaping out of his room whether it be through the door of his bedroom and then the front door,or as of more recently hes been going through his window. We have put locks on all the doors and windows and even alarms that go off every time you open the door. On the windows in his bedroom you really cant put locks on it or the alarm to high as it will cause a fire hazard or the alarm will not go off.
He is very quiet in doing all of this and i really wish i knew what to do. You ask him why or what provokes him to do this he says I dont know or because. Thats as far as it gets.

My oldest daughter's dad isn't in her life. He hasn't seen her since she has been 3 weeks old. We talked about all the different kinds of families and how each is okay. There was a book (I'm sorry I don't remember the name) that we read a lot that talked about all different kinds of family dynamics.View Thread
