What can I do to help this duck? Or make her more comfortable?
Hello! For the past two days, possibly longer since we were on break, there has been a duck chilling in the school s courtyard. We get a lot of rain here so there was a giant puddle that they were swimming in, but it s drying up fairly quickly. She had a male accompanying her yesterday but he seems to have left. I fed her carefully today from my classroom because I don t want to hurt her. I named her Philip. She tried to stretch out her wing but she was struggling. She s all alone there and I was wondering what I should do for her because the water is almost gone. I don t want her to get hit by a car or anything. Who should I call if she is injured? I m sorry that it s really weird that I have become emotionally invested in this duck. She s a really cool duck and hung out with me during class. Philip is my buddy and I wanna make sure she s healthy :,)
How can I help my girlfriend with her cramps?
Awwww you are a real sweetheart. Your girlfriend is the luckiest girl in the world! Your a great boyfriend and dont you forget that. Anyways to answer your question, Try and get her to go to her doctor and explain what is happening because depending on what her doctor thinks he will probably perscribe her with birth control pills because it is supposed to get rid of them and shorten a girls period. Also run her a bath, get her some chocolates and make her some teaor give her a heating pad but sometimes the best thing you can do is just leave her be. Get her the things she wants and asks for and then just let her be and maybe let her sleep or watch a movie or something to get her mind off the pain. You could also rub her lower .abdomin becase it soothes the pain bu do it private so she doesnt get embarrassed by siblings or parents seeing. Nothing makes a girls period worse then being embarrassed during it. Also I dont want to sound like a pervert but if you guys are close enough, try and talk her into masterbating because it will reallyhelp soothe the pain because the pleasure women get from orgasm will take her mind off the pain and will help her week or so go by quicker, and if she does masterbate try and go for twice a day until her period is over. I promise you she will feel better.
HELP! I "came" inside her just now, what can i do?
Have her get plan B (morning after pill) and next time be smart, DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX!
All my mom does is complain about how I never help her, but all I do is help her. She would guilt trip me when the help I’ve given her isn’t perfect. She’d scream at me and make me feel bad about myself when I do something wrong. What should I do?
I would tell her what she is doing to you - point it out as of what she does to you when you do things for her. Also tell her you love her but if she is going scream at you and give you a guilt trip then tell her I will stop helping you if you keep treating me this way plus I would tell her she needs to get therapy - sounds like she has issues and not happy at all. My older brother has issues and I told him he needs therapy. He is 5 years older and when going up he beat on me daily, run me down, belittle me - made my life hell. I started lifting weights and when I was 14 years old I took it to his ass, he keep saying stop but I keep hitting him until I got tired. That changed things from then on. I don’t care to see him or talk to him. He got to calling me weekly then daily and twice a day. If I was on my other phone and did not answer the other phone he would call 6 times in 30 minutes and leave 3 or more voice messages - I finally told him if he calls me again I will call police and get him for phone harassment. What I’m getting at is that a family member treat you badly then don’t have any thing to do with them. I have a strange family any way.
I have a 5 day old who is constipated... what can I do to help her go?
First of all, you are getting some REALLY BAD advice above. We need to know, is your baby breastfed or formula fed? Breastfed babies do not get constipated. It is possible, that she's constipated if she's on formula, but not likely this early in life. She's brand, brand new and her system is just starting to get used to processing milk. That's why it's so dangerous to feed her juice or anything that isn't milk. It is NORMAL for breastfed babies to go days without making a poop. Breastmilk is so perfect that sometimes there is no waste to expel. Just last week my 11 week old went for 5 days without pooping (he just stored it up for a big explosion.) Do NOT feed your 5 day old baby apple juice, syrup, water or anything else that isn't milk--that kind of intake can damage her insides, _permanently_. Also, constipation refers to the consistency of the poop, not how often they poop. If she poops occasionally and it's liquid, she's not constipated. If she poops and it's hard pellets, like adult poo, she IS constipated and she needs to see a doctor before trying any home remedies, especially in a baby that little. If her poop comes out like grape jelly that is a medical emergency and call an ambulance. Your mom is right, wait it out. Trust her little body and wait until tomorrow.
My mother is depressed. What can I do to help her?
Be understanding. She is going through it so she’ll need someone to understand that she may need more help than a normal mother. Help her with simple tasks like washing the dishes, cleaning the house, etc. It will already be hard for her to get out of bed. Try to brighten her day by opening the windows on a good day or getting her flowers. Make sure you tell her how grateful you are for her. She might lash out at times but please be patient with her. Things will get better. I wish you and your mother the best!
What can I do to help my parents financially as a 16 year old?
As someone who did help her parent out at the same age, the first question I’m going to ask is: Why are you doing this?Is your family in dire financial straights? Did your parents rack up credit card debt? Is the incoming cash flow being mismanaged? Are you trying to alleviate some of the stress your parents are experiencing?It is not your responsibility to help your parents financially, it is your responsibility to finish school and move into adulthood in a healthy and appropriate manner. The money that you earn at this age goes into three categories: Saving for your future (60%), Spending on yourself (20%), and Giving to others (20%).I applaud that you want to help out with your family responsibilities and doing so will give you some real world experience with bills, time management, and money management. Those are life lessons that will put you ahead of the game when you’ve moved out. However, you will be (and likely currently are) stressed due to the financial situation that your family is in.I would:talk to your parents about the situation. Ask good questions and reserve judgment. Try to understand what’s going on.encourage them to ask for help.ask what they think your priorities should be. Keep in mind that you don’t need to align what they say with what you do. That’s ultimately up to you.not take on household responsibilities that are not assigned to you. You could lose out on part of your childhood.I recommend any of Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s books, to you and your parents. It is so important to be honest about where you’re at with money and for parents to demonstrate sound financial practices for their children so they can be educated for later in life.
