why are men so pig headed?

Thumper11 @Thumper11 (662) • United States 4 Dec 08

I ask this question because my boyfriend(who I love very much) is being a jerk tonight. He has a broken ankle, so I understand that he's probably in pain even with the pain medicine that he's been taking, but still. He has been...

DKQANS143 I agree, the doctor should have given you instructions on what to do to be careful with this pregnancy. Either ordering you to bedrest entirely or moderately. Try giving him a call and ask, because when it comes to carrying a precious baby, everything depends...

Robyn @floridachick (603) • United States 26 Aug 08

how do you discipline you child?

plumfrance @plumfrance (88) • Philippines 19 Aug 08

it is very hard to be a mother, let alone be a good one. the hardest part is raising your child to become a good person and not a menace to our society. what do you do to achieve this? how are you doing so far?
