Be sure to offer some thoughtful reasons for your answer. If your answer is yes, then what are some of the things that you think should be taught in such a class?
Since a lot of people might not have considered this idea, here is a brief argument in favor: Parenting is certainly among the most important job in the world, and it is not something that everyone is just naturally good at. We teach every child to do math problems (or at least we attempt to), even though a lot of them will end up doing very little beyond basic arithmetic in their adult lives. Why? Because they might need these skills at some point. And besides, it is good for young brains to be exposed to certain ways of thinking. Couldn’t this same argument be applied to parenting – especially since most people will actually become parents at some point, and parents literally have children’s lives in their hands?

After 27 years my son i gave up for adoption is back in my life,i cant take away the title of mom or mother from the adoptive parent that raised him.What would His title be to me at this time ? He is technically their son by adoption, But what is the term i use to refer to him ? Son just seems inappropriate – insensitivetive to them.

I am about 6 days late for my period. I took a pregnancy test this afternoon ( with little pee), and it was negative. Could i have just tested at the wrong time?

Just a point my brother and I came across.
I’m neither, for, nor against Gay marriage, but my brother is against. And this is a question, concerning how Same Sex couples, cannot reproduce together (themselves only), turn to adoption.

Espeically having to deal with exercise and proper diet. Come on it’s disgusting when you see a mom who’s sorry for the metaphor but as big as a blimp and the child is the same way! It’s horrible! Also, in middle schools such as in Oregon schools should be required too have PE everyday!

Hi,
I am at Sydney.How much money should i save for my pregnancy and child birth. I have a medibank card and planning for a private hospital.

My husband and I are planning on trying in about 2 years. I was wondering if there’s anything I should do now to prepare myself (my body) for pregnancy?

I’m a senior in high school and they gave me parenting class as an elective. I’m a girl btw. We’re gonna take home the baby dolls in October. I was just wondering , what kind of stuff should i expect from the baby? I know it’s going to cry a lot. Do i really have to change its diapers? I’m already good with babies but i’m just wondering. Thanks!

Lots of women are stressed out, depressed, emotional or simply just moody during pregnancy. But how severe is the stress to actually affect the baby?

We have been trying to get pregnant since last june.This month I had some strange spotting around the time I think I ovulated and it lasted for seven days. Also we had sex around that same time. The last two periods have been 35 day cycles. Now it is 35 days and I still have not got a period. When should I start to wonder about pregnancy should i wait a few days? I took some early response pregnancy tests and they were negative but i didn’t use my FMU. What are my chances of being pregnant?
