Moms Are Talking About...

Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend's uncle, a pastor in Mississippi, says he hopes the expecting parents, “stick it out and get married for the child’s sake and their sake. But if they're not in love and it was just a fantasy, they don't need to make the same mistake twice." If Jamie learns anything from her sister, it should be not to enter into marriage lightly. In related news, Nickelodeon says they are considering a network special on love and sex.
Fertility Rates at All Time High in the U.S.
For the first time since 1971, birth rates are up in the U.S. while
other industrialized nations continue to struggle with low fertility.
The National Center for Health Statistics
says this important milestone is “the first time since shortly after
the baby boom ended that the nation has reached the rate of births
needed for a generation to replace itself.”
Working Mother Flexibility Forecasted for 2008
More stay-at-home Moms are turning to volunteer work as a stepping
stone toward a career path after child birth. “Strategic Volunteering”
allows Moms to develop new skills that can ultimately lead to a paying
job. In other trends, career women are increasingly comfortable sharing
intimate details about their personal lives, such as announcing their
pregnancies, which was typically a safe-guarded secret for women to
avoid discrimination by their employer and co-workers.
People’s Choice Gets a Lift
As the writers strike continues, the 34th Annual People’s Choice Awards
will go on, but it will look quite different from previous years. Queen
Latifah is still on board to tape the pre-taped show, which will
resemble a “magazine-style” special. Producers of the award show
requested a waiver with the union to allow writers to work on the
broadcast, but their request was denied. The writers union also denied
a similar request to the Golden Globes.

I just hope to God that she doesn’t marry this boy - then we’ll lhave to go through the divorce in 2 years.
I wish that we would stop looking a people who are considered “stars” and look to our parent/family memembers who have had great lives and are successful at being themselves instead of letting our children look up to people who are just like us “human”. We need to set great examples for our own children and not the so called stars or their sibiling who make really bad choices. Concerned mother of 2.

Why consider the “stars” as some kind of gods. They are human as everyone but i think this 16 yr old wanted attention because all of it was being forcused on her older sister. We all make mistakes but the more the NEWS covers it the more hipe it will get, leave the girl alone and let us normal people get on with our lives. This young girl has to live with this mistake the rest of her life and it won’t be an easy life.
yo i like you i will like 4 the baby to be mine
