Why did Nirvana name their hit song Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Teen Spirit was a brand of deodorant that was very popular in the U.S. in the 1980s - 1990s. The brand might even still be around; I'm not sure.

Anyway, as the song is about teenage culture -- and culture in general -- in America, I suppose it seemed fitting to name the song after a brand of deodorant that most teenagers in America used at the time.

It's a play on words, basically. "Teen Spirit" as in, the zietgiest of 1990s American teenagers, as well as "Teen Spirit," as in, the deodorant.

What should you do if your daughter refuses to let you see your grandchildren because there is hard feelings between you since you and her mother have been divorced for 27 years?

If you have been trying a baby for 8 months and nothing has happened what should you do?

If you are over 30, go see a doctor. It could be nothing, but just in case. They say after 6 months, you should consult with your doctor. If you are under 30, wait until it's been a year without getting pregnant and then go see your doctor. It could be nothing, but those are the standard reccomendations. Just relax and give it a few more months. Good luck!

What should you do if your husband doesn't spend any time with your 4-year-old son and favors his son from a previous marriage?

You have to make it clear to him that your son needs him and that you are not pleased by the fact that he doesn't get any attention from him. Your son can't get him to spend time with him so go ahead and tell your husband how you feel about it and make sure he spends some time with him. Its unfair for you but mostly for your son. Oh and why don't you arrange some play dates with both the kids.
