I have 2 weeks left in my pregnancy, will it help to stop smoking now. My placenta is low and has ripened. Will it help my baby ?

Discuss this question

Question found in Women's Health
Babies that are brought up in smoke free homes have much less chance of SIDS - cot death - so giving up now is still worthwhile for your child and for you.
Good luck - it's not easy - but it's worth it, and once you've done it you will feel so strong!

How did Pecola view her blackness in the book "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison ?

Discuss this question

Question found in Books & Authors
Quick answer - with self hatred and loathing. She associated white skin, golden hair and 'the bluest eye' with beauty - as did her mother.

I've not read the book - but having read the summary I'm going to now, sounds fabulous.

Our son, a young man just 19 years old is seriously dating a 7 years older than him young woman, how can this effect his future?

Discuss this question

Question found in Parenting & Family In General
There's very little you can do here that won't damage your relationship with your son. He's old enough to make his own decisions, and own mistakes. You've obviously brought up a very mature young man if he's seriously interested in this older woman.

His future might be deliriously happy, it might not, but that would be the case no matter who he was dating. I suppose the only thing I'd be really concerned about would be that she might want to start a family before he was really ready. But then if he's mature enough to want to be with a more settled lady, maybe he mature enough for that?

It would be a terrible pity if he were to lose the love of his life because she was born a few years too soon. Happiness doesn't come along too often in life - it would be an awful waste to throw it away.

Then again he could just be infatuated with her, in which case it'll run it's course and she end up the one that's damaged not him.

I think I'd be more concerned if I were her mother, she's the one taking the bigger risk - she's in her prime years as far as getting a career, finding a partner, home and settling down are concerned and the longer she stays with your son - if he doesn't intend those things - the more difficult it'll be for her to find them again.

He's young, young enough to be able to recover if he makes a mistake. Try not to worry, if you give love him, let him go.

What state in the US has the highest percentage of women married under the age of 24?

Discuss this question

Question found in Miscellaneous

The report pegs the growing attractiveness of early wedlock in the U.S. to a complex variety of factors: the spread of abstinence-only-until-marriage sex education at American schools, a shift toward cultural conservatism among some teens and a growing fear among youngsters of contracting AIDS through promiscuity.

Such data are questioned by some experts, who note that marriage records in the U.S. are patchy at best.

But a recent national opinion poll found that 84 percent of American teenagers believe strongly in marriage before childbirth, suggesting the trend may be real.

What color sofa looks best in a cream living room with pinkish mauve rugs?

Discuss this question

Question found in Home & Garden In General
Well, I was thinking grey or a muted green. But then I thought maybe you should be picking the sofa you like best - unless you rugs are particularly new and you don't want to replace them any time soon.

What do I do if their is a guy I like and I want to go to homecoming with him but we really don't know each other that well?

Discuss this question

Question found in People & Relationships In General
You could just ask him out - but that's a very brave thing to do - you might be better to try and find out whether he likes you too or not first. But if you try just to make friends with him you'll be able to get to know him and find out whether he feels the same too. Sooooo, why not hang out the same places, keep bumping into him and stuff until you get talking and to know him?

Is there a psychological problem when a four year old girl uses the restroom every 10 to 20 min.?

Discuss this question

Question found in Parenting & Family In General
If she's actually 'using' the toilet, then I think you should get her checked for a urinary tract infection.

If she just goes to wash her hands or something, it's probably just a habit. Do you or a major caregiver have a clean compulsion? Are you/they often washing their hands? Get her some messy play to allow her to be less finicky - mud pies or a play water fight?

My son when about the same age would always go to the toilets in a new place, it was as if he needed to know where they were, check them out before he needed them. Just in case.
