Periods
How soon after giving birth do periods return?
The reason i ask is my son is now 3 months and i stopped bleeding after the birth when he was 5weeks. I did have a c-section if that makes a difference. I just dont like not knowing when its due!

Christmas recipes kids can make
Does anyone know of any easy Christmas recipes that kids can make with just a little assistance, mostly just supervision? DD's convinced she's old enough to bake herself, the only thing she thinks she needs help with is turning the oven on, putting the tray in and taking the tray out. She's certain she can make things with very little help, just with me watching her.
They have to take a plate of morning tea food to school on Friday to share, and again the following Monday and on Tuesday they are asked to take something to share for lunch, and I don't know what to make for lunch that she can do easily. Thanks :)

17 yrs old - how can i help him
from raleigh, nc. i have a question regarding a 17yo young man that once dated my daughter. he is in a very trouble household - unofficially adopted by his aunt at as a toddler. when he dated my daughter and got to kno me he 'clung' to me and it was apparent that he was extremly unhappy at home. he doesnt open up but after speakin with his aunt/mom i saw that he had every right to be miserable. from my 1st convo with her i saw that she really didnt like this kid. she had nothing but negative things to say about him. eventually i made some call to try and get intervention but that obviously didnt go well. soon she forbid him to see me or my daughter and immediately i saw a rapid decline in his behavior - he is now known at school as a pot-head and fake blood gang member, failing his classes and no longer friends with his old friends but has taken up with the worst element ever. recently his paternal grandmom in boston, ma 'found' me and contacted me in hopes that i may be able to help her get in contact with him. we have both along with her family been sending him msgs on his facebook but he wont respond. my question is... i see a young man that is so hungry for love and he has turned to the worst possible place to get it. both me and his paternal family want him and want to rescue him. what can be done other than sitting back and watching another young man fall to the waste side or wind up a sad statistic?

inappropriate touching
My son is 11 years old and in the 5th grade. Starting at the beginning of the year, I have had phone calls from his principal saying that there are other boys who have reported that my son has touched them inappropriately (grabbing their butts, trying to smack them in their privates). After a meeting with the principal and having the complaints read to me, I realized that these particular boys making the claims are ones who have been bullying my son for a while now, calling him "faggot" and such. I came to the conclusion that it was probably just another form of bullying, seeing as the complaints were word for word the same, almost as if the kids got together and decided exactly what to say. Yesterday his teacher called and said that he had been caught touching another boy. Her suggestion was to show him a "boys growing up" video in hopes that he would maybe grasp inappropriate touch, but I just don't know. He does other things such as wet the bed, not only at night, pee his pants, pee all over his bedroom, poop in his pants and then in his floor. I have a suspicion that maybe there is or has been sexual abuse, but he denies it. When asked why he does the things he does he just says "I don't know". Since the behavior at school is only with boys, does this mean that he is having homosexual tendencies? Please help me if you can, because the school is talking sexual harassment and this is putting such a strain on my marriage that I don't know how much longer we can hold out. My son's step dad thinks that we need to punish him, I think that we need to try to get to the cause before we can really discipline him. Please help.

Post Natal Depression
I am due with our 3rd child in 10weeks. Both my husband and I are very happy and excited about this, as are our 2 kids.
Last night my husband and I were watching something on TV which mentioned post natal depression. My husband said that he thought I suffered from a mild case after the birth of our son (2 years ago)., and that he would be keeping a close eye on me after the birth of this baby.
I do not believe that I suffered from post natal depression but was just tired due to the nature of a baby and a toddler. I know that the tiredness will be worse this time due to having a newborn, 2 yr old and a 4 yr old.
How do I convince my husband that I wasn't depressed but simply tired? Or could I have been suffering from post natal depression?

fallen out of love
i dont know where to start. i have been with my partner for 9 years and for the past 10months approx i feel my feelings changing for him, which have just been getting stronger and stronger. i care about him a lot but i just dont love him. i think its been building up for a few years. there are many factors in it and one major one is j stopped being my true self since being with him. i have lost all my confidence and independance. i changed myself to be who i thought he wanted me to be instead of staying true to myself. he plays alot of mind games with me and most times its makes me doubt myself. i also had a miscarriage at the start of the year which made me see that he doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself. another factor is for over the past 2 years on and off he has been stressing about work and he brings his stress home and takes it out on me, i finally spoke up to him a few months ago and told him that its not fair to take his stress out on me and it was also this time that i told him i dont love him as much. that shocked him a little and i told him what he needs to do to stop me falling out of love with him, he did it for a week but then back to his old self. another eye opener for me is during sex i feel nothing, i fake organisms just so he will finish.
but my biggest problem is what do i do? we have a 2 year old son and i dont want to be seen as the home wrecker but i dont want to live the rest of my life unhappy??

Self mutilation
I am in desperate need to understand it. I have with only hours of writing this found out my step daughter has been self mutilating. She won't talk about it. Her mother noticed marks on her arms but she was told it was the family cat that scratched, LOTS. A school friend dobbed her in. And the only thing she has admitted to is that she started in September to the school physiologist. She won't talk to her mum, swears to her dad that the problem is over, but we are not convinced of this. I am afraid that my husband might take the wrong approach in trying to find out exactly what is wrong. She has never been one to talk about things openly, we are very very worried.
Please any information would be more then appreciated.
