Hi, my nearly 16 year old son has been suspended from his school for a week. He has never been a troubled child, or done anything this stupid but this morning at school....he was mucking around with 2 other boys in class and he had a book with the stupid drawings in them showing them.....when the teacher asked him to return to his seat he told her F@#$ u, the teacher being shocked sent him to the socail worker. Straight after the socail worker spoke to him, he rang me and told me he had to suspended him from school due to the swearing, he said he asked him if the teacher or any of the other kids have prevoked him and my son wouldnt give him an answer....l dont know what to do with this and whats troubling him. l know his father is going to lose the plot and punish him, instead of trying to talk to him and find out why. Any advice would be great thanks.

My husband has 3 kids who are 10, 12, 13.  The oldest boy has recently started increasing the frequency of his fits and it's scaring me.  I had a baby in April and I worry about what he will think is acceptable.  We have the kids every second weekend and we are just finding out that the mother is badmouthing both my husband and I.  I am very willing to leave my husband over this because I have my own personal and health issues I am dealing with.  My stepson thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules or use his manners now.  His mother is encouraging a victim attitude with him and his 10 year old brother is the target when we aren't around.

What should I do? I have told my husband my feelings, I've gotten more advice from child services people than I can count, I've tried working together with the biomother, I've managed to get my husband to see that his son needs counselling (after 3 years of nagging), I really have done everything.

If I stay, I don't want my stepson to think I'm a pushover.  How can I go about asserting that any behaviour that is to intimidate me or making me feel bad will not be tolerated?  I don't care if he doesn't like me, he needs to show respect to myself and his father.  So I guess my issue is how can I work on myself to at least make life more bearable?  I just don't have the energy to try and help my stepson anymore.  I've met nothing but brickwalls with his father, mother, grandparents, other family, and some cases authorities.  My doctor told me that I can only write a letter to child services because I don't have any rights when it comes to the kids.  It's also becoming obvious in my home too.

I want another baby. I feel that i am ready now to start trying again. But my husband isn't interested yet. He has said that he wants to wait til our son starts school before we have another one. But that is too long for me. I always wanted my kids close together so they would grow up together. Besides all that, i dont want to get used to sleeping properly again then have to start all over. I know it may sound selfish, but i want to get all the non-sleeping, feeding, nappy's and all the other stuff they cant do on their own out of the way within a few years, not over the next 7!

Is there any way that i can approach the situation without causing a fight about it? I am happy to wait another year or so, but i dont really want to wait any longer than that.

Thanks in advance.

My son is almost 10 months old, everone who meets him can never believe how happy he is and asks if he is always like that, which he is...

In the last week that has all changed, i feel like he cries for 70% of the day and night, i really dont believe that there is anything wrong with him. I dont even really no how to get him to stop crying apart from picking him up, he'll be happy and then shortly after start winging.

I have always loved being a mum but now my hubby and i are fighty over what we should do (tried control crying, he lasted 2 hours before going to sleep, in the middle of the night that tough yaka) and im really starting to get depressed. please help me!

The doctor told my GF,whom is 8 mnths pregnant, that our soon to be son is to be born with a big head.

Should I be worried???....Because, I am. She also has Toxemia Pregnancy (which is much has become better now that she is off her feet) and Little Brantley is to be born with Club Foot.

Will his head be larger than others in school...will he be unable to perform normal tasks???...the doctor, as far as i know..said it is normal.

Anyone, With any out put???

Ok well Damian has been sick for nearly 3 weeks on and off and refused to eat any solids the whole time but now he is better, he still refusing to eat anything that isn't Pureed or mashed.

Before he got sick he was teething and loved chewy foods, I am just wondering if there is a way to try and get him chewing again??

Also this is a concern I have is that he hasnt put on any weight in 4 1/2 months since he turned 1 is this normal??

I am taking him to the dr's next week to get advice but just thought I would ask on here to see if my worries are normal or not

 My daughter is about to be 5 years. She is having deformity, the paw was turned inside 90 degrees, in hir right leg bottom joint. It was operated when she was 01 month old. Now the leg is showing correction but she dosen't have her reguar bowels, when consulted to physician we got advice that this is because of her habit of keeping cleanliness. We are giving her a medicine which helps to keep the stool soft. With the medicine she can have her bowel everyday; but if we discontinue the dose she suffers from irregular bowels say after interval of 2-3 days which requires very hard pressure as she doesn't sit down folding her knee she practises it in standing position till now.

It this normal in childrens, or sign of any disease....

I have been recently told by my doctor that they suspect i may have a blighted ovum. This terifys me as I can't get it out of my head and think positively especially when none of my more "in tune" friends have made any comment other than positve ones on my pregnancy. Even when I told them I had fears and ask quite plainly!

Is there anyone out there who has had the possibility of a blighted ovum that has turned out ok? Just needed to wait an extra week or so for confirmation and it's all been fine?
