    He says Jensen taught him it at school. Fuckin' Jensen. Anyway should I be concerned? How do I tell him those sounds are inappropriate? Is saying eWe bad? Can it get him in trouble at school?

    Just learned from ultrasound our pregnancy cannot go forward. The doctor gave us three options, wait(natural), medicine to induce, or D&C. We are leaning towards d&c because it seems less emotionally taxing. Anyone have any insight on the Financial cost of that with insurance in the USA?

    DTaP Vaccine Shot for Newborn: I Don't Want It

    I don't want the DTaP shot for my son, who is due in a week. I don't want this because of a general aversion to the vaccine boom of the past few years, and because I had a shot back in 2006 where, as a 200-pound man well into my twenties, it made me acutely sick for days. There is a 0.00%...

    Is 39 yrs o too old to be a dad?

    I think when my son turns 10, I'll be 49. When he turns 20, I'll be 59. 30, 69, and so on. Do you think we miss the best years and being a healthy father, having the vitality to accompany him at these key ages?
