My mom is mad at me because I’m gay?
ever since we had an argument about homosexuality, she coming from a religious point of view and I from a scientific and biological one, I wanted her to understand that it’s a not mental disease and cannot be changed, she thinks that I got effected and consumed by the homosexual thoughts and too stubborn to let them go to be ‘normal’… I never mentioned that my mother is stupid but come on that is beyond idiocy. I presented my argument in facts and discoveries about sexuality, the difference in some of brain, diversity in sexuality in nature, genetics and hormones during pregnancy these all factors that state that sexual orientation in all its kinds is natural and normal, and I told her that what she thinks is natural is what society wants to her to think is natural, and the holy book she read to stop my argument did not hold any valid proof whatsoever. she got angry and told me that I’m mental and she will never accept me as I am… and I told her that she has to because it’s impossible for me to change, and she says that she rests her case and wants nothing to do with me and that I will suffer from my ‘mistakes’ if I ‘decide’ to carry on like I do… ehh
ever since then she’s been giving me the cold shoulder, and she never speaks to me or rather look at me. I’m not bothered by it because me and my mom had never been close, but I feel like she’s been acting quite childish about this all, what should I do in my position now?
Michelle answers:
It kinda sounds like you rushed in and just told her instead of easing her into it. Lol. And just know that old habits and ways of thinking die hard…or super slow. And I know you should never hide what you really are and what makes you happy but so long as your living with her maybe you should not bring it up again if shes gonna go balistic everytime theres a mention of it you know. Like respect her view, kinda, and just dont rub her face in it lol so there can be some peace atleast. Well good luck I know it can be hard to live with someone like that!!

Paul asks…
anyone take childbirth classes or find any books useful for labor prep? please read! 10 pts B/A!?
i don’t want a book that devotes half of itself to pregnancy as my pregnancy is almost over, i’m just looking for good books to help prepare me and teach me relaxation/natural pain reduction techniques.
i really wish i would have taken an active childbirth class now that its getting closer, i’m 34 weeks, its too late, right?
i’m reading a hypnobirthing book but haven’t taken the classes, anyone with experience using this technique or someone they know using it?
Michelle answers:
Check with the OB floor in your local hospital. There are usually a lot of brochures or very helpful friendly nurses that are willing to help.
I don’t think it is too late at all to prepare for birth. I am sure if you are interested in finding a birthing class they would be more than happy to welcome you. I am a nurse and can honestly say that birthing classes would probably be your best bet. They teach you how to breathe properly….something that needs to be done right for the baby. It is for some, a very painful experience and for others a delight. I’ve saw some mothers never show a sign of pain, while others can’t speak and only cry and forget to breathe properly. Putting yourself in another situation/imagery that can help put you at ease and is helpful for some, while finding a positive focal point is better for others. Most women these days want the epidural.
Honestly, I know very little about the hypnobirths. Some techniques other than the ones mentioned above include back massages…usually lower back and having someone there with you that is very supportive helps tremendously!
Congratulations in advance!

Laura asks…
After reading Breaking Dawn…are you a fan or what?
There’s a pretty thin line between being a fan of the writer and being a fan of the series, and so many people are crossing it. This is Stephenie Meyer’s world, and this is how she saw it ending.
*SPOILERS* dont worry, i have courtesy dots so you wont see them by accident haha.

Okay, so this is what I’ve observed from others and myself.
1. yes, the birth of the baby was shockingly and unpleasantly disgusting. if you’ve seen Alien vs Predator, wow the whole breaking bones from within is familiar, yes?
2. the sex happened because it’s natural. stephenie knows she’s built up tons of sexual frustration over the course of these books. it’s what keeps you on your toes, and we all know it. why else are there Mature-rated fan fictions? some are totally gross by the way. what people don’t like is that it didn’t feel intimate, and that edward (though we KNOW he loved it) was shown to appreciate it in the bare minimum.
3. yeah, i know, i know. jacob’s imprint on bella’s baby. weird…yes. it made people angry because it’s beyond the fantasy of the series. it’s strange.
4. The plot seemed unstructured. Basically, it feels like half of the story is about Bella’s pregnancy. (I wouldn’t recommend this book to any guy, except my very unique, open-minded brother.) Then it jumps into a whole new perspective that wasn’t expected. Then nearing the end, you FINALLY hear something about the Volturi. Which bugged a lot of people to no end because that’s what we thought it should have been throughout the whole book, right?
and in conclusion, the general vibe is that there should have been that love story that’s run its current through the previous 3 books. you lose that intense edward/bella feeling to an evident degree. it’s now either bella/renesemee (ugh weird name haha), etc…
okay, so maybe i had a hard time liking it at first, too…haha.
which makes me a little more credible in those eyes for what I’m about to say next.
I felt closure. My eyes felt it for sure. This book had unexpected, often unwelcome twists and the characters
and their bonds were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. But that’s it, isn’t it? This is the end, and whether we liked it or not, she wrote well, and gave us something we all wanted in the end.
a firm opinion, and closure.
i respect her, she’s given us fans reasons to be reverent. her books are kindred to our hearts, and you shouldn’t let the diminishing of your ideal Twilight ending to make you say things like “I can never pick this book up again.”
Yeesh, talk about being loyal to the book but not the author.
😛
Also! Though it wasn’t as enjoyable because you feel heavy-hearted throughout all the stress and agony, ill give Meyer a totallyyy deserved ‘touche’ for making me feel the hurt.
Michelle answers:
I definitely agree that one book doesn’t give people the right to trash the author…everybody had their pitfalls…
People are forgetting that SM wrote the series originally for herself…her only mistake was that when she got to the 4th installment, she tried to please everybody…which makes the whole criss-crossing of fates and twists possible…
Plus there were hints in eclipse that Jacob was meant to imprint on somebody who was close to bella or at least part of bella… He couldn’t see any other face –like he had imprinted but not in a legit manner– and then if you look back…bella always thought of herself as 2kinds of bella…jacob’s and edward’s… So wouldn’t you agree if she decided to shoot a hole into her own ship and went ahead to give jacob a piece of bella? No matter how twisted or gross it would seem to people? Plus readers should not forget that IMPRINTING was explained thoroughly in Eclipse… QUIL imprinted on a 2 year old…come one people…he wasn’t exactly some psycho who lusted after a child…it was explained..that imprinting doesn’t automatically mean that they be LOVERS..but what that person needs most at a given time… So jacob will be a big brother to nessy..and then be a bestfriend..then eventually go and have babies… So what’s so twisted with that???? Vampires and Werewolves…come on people.. UNDERWORLD…hello!?!?!? Just picture nessy and jacob in that perspective when NESSY GROWS UP –okay? People put negativity in that imprinting coz they have malicious minds….
I think what SM lacked was explanations… Like how come edward managed to get bella pregnant when he wasn’t supposed to be capable of it… It should have been hashed out … The SEX part..i’m not complaining..EDWARD IS HOT..and what did you expect? ECLIPSE was like FOREPLAY!did people actually read?? (i think not!)
People are saying or reacting badly because they did not like the ending..or the way it turned out –because it wasn’t the way they wanted it to…i know that being a fan does make the book a bit more like it’s a personal thing…but really, if you read back…stephanie hinted..if not..she was building towards an ending such as Breaking dawn…
But one thing they are right about.. More Volturi…at least it had to be THAT action-packed….perhaps this will be a guideline for 5 & 6 –SM needs to re-hash some bella turning into a vampire part…and then some more volturi…
But hey, at least it’s enough of that stupid Bella mentality! ^_^
I love twilight..the series and the author…it’s all a matter of perspective.
Sorry if i got carried away..^_^

Chris asks…
Are their any parenting classes online? Im a pregnant teen, will they come investigate my house If I don’t..?
Take them ,at a place I have to pay for them ?
I read all kinds of books on pregnancy and Im always watching things about child birth ETC .I know that is not enough but my mother told me that the class is pretty much common sense stuff ,and That I shouldn’t be worried about taking it .
What do they exactly do at the parenting classes?
I am definitely planning on taking child birth classes though .
So I was wondering if their is anything online ETC? I am already on lined school and I take a life management class which covers many things about child care ETC .Ive been in health classes since the 5th grade ,and use to babysit quite often .I know it’s not the same as actually being a parent but it’s like im completely new to things like this .To me it also seems like common sense stuff.I’ve asked people who have taken them and they said that they were a waste of time and money . Money is a major issue right now.
The reason I ask why they might investigate is because a social worker has come to my house abut parenting classes and stuff like that because she got my Information because I signed for this thing in my county.She acted very strangely when she came to my house ,and my mom told her that we don’t need the classes where they come inside you house .(The reason why she said that is because my younger brother and sister act up pretty badly and its noisy at my house)
*I was going to take the classes but after hearing all that ,Im starting to reconsider .Also I don’t have a lot of money.
& before you say anything I think it pretty much comes”natural” when you are a mother .Back then they didn’t have classes like that or anything.I don’t think you can be “taught” how to be a parent. You are either a good one, or a bad one. If someone is going to be a bad parent, they are going to be a bad parent. Plain and simple. You can’t reverse them of their ways.
The ones that they offered me were not free and they are the only ones close enough to my house that I can go to .
You can’t be taigjt how to be a parent and in my life managment skills I was required to take CPR classes and luckily I got those for free .So I know what to do if someone chokes .
Don’t most people know how to change diapers and things like that?
Yes anyone with a brain would know how change a babies diaper seriously .Anyways FYI ive had sex ed Since the 5th grade .Your failed attempts to be funny are not working .I used a condom and they aren’t 100% effective .So guess what I got pregnant .
I don’t go to public school , I do my classes online 🙂 Thank you guys that are giving me helpful answers<3
I am not on Welfare an have never been in my whole life and im not going to be on welfare . Things people say , im amused.
"Im sorry I don't ever want to end up like you .SORRY ."
I didn't read any other part of your answer .SORRY
Michelle answers:
Don’t worry about it i went to those classes and it was just the basic stuff anyone with a brain would know. Besides you have your mom and she will help a lot more than a class. No one ever really knows what to do when they bring a baby home you just go with the flow besides it should just come to you. Dont waste your money on classes. I read what to expect when youre expecting and that is a great book with a lots of info. Good luck
p.s i had my daughter at 17
