Take the batteries out when she's asleep, and then she will think it is broken. :)Quote:

No one should be scared by this but I do think it's interesting that there ~may~ be some science behind astrology!!
That is a really interesting article! Glad I am still taking my vitamin D supps. As for schizophrenia, there is some stupid link to mothers having the flu during pregnancy, which of course scares the crap out of me since I had the swine flu while pregnant with DD2. :( I think the risk is pretty small, though.Quote:

I hope it doesn't affect our kids!! My dad was telling me about the study, not remembering that I had the flu when pregnant, and when I reminded him, he totally back pedaled and tried to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal, because he didn't want me to worry. :sigh:Quote:

Raising 3 DDs like Begonia and being a woman myself, I think the lifelong challenges surrounding "what is best" at each stage in life is very difficult for girls. Anybkid can be a nightmare. I didn't even read the FB thing but it seems to be pretty straight forward so far with DS as far as future expectations and what kind of person he *should* grow up to be and the path he *should* take to get there.
For my DDs, there are challenges as far as life choices go. My expectations for them balanced by what they want and who they are, do you advise them to just be a mom and raise a family? Do you advise them to be the President and go for everything? Try to juggle work and family without messing up their own kids? What is best? Obviously, what's best is subjective but it's not as straightforward as a boy, then man.
It's hard to be a woman. That's why I think raising girls is hard.
My DS 2 was at some higher risk of schizo for some reason...thinking...oh yeah, I was exposed to toxoplasmosis during pg. He turned out relatively normal LOL.
I agree totally NBP. :/
nicely put, NBP.
I personally chose a career that paid decently but didn't have crazy exec-like hours or the stress of a high wheeling job. I feel like I chose something in the happy medium of a career and still have a good family life.
I hope my daughter can find her own balance.
