I've been meaning to start this thread, now after seeing some comments on another thread, I worry I might be opening up a hornet's nest with this question, but here goes anyway. We are planning a 10 day trip to Japan this Spring, taking the kids out of school to do so. This is something we've...

Posting a day early, since for just the second time this year, I won't be going in to work on a Saturday. The other one time this year was for my wife's birthday Feb. 26th. Dustin and Dylan are doing great, mainstreamed in first grade this year and holding their own. Teachers say they both are...

I have a two year old daughter that doesn't want to sleep before 10:30-11:00 most nights. Last night she was up until midnight. This morning, like most mornings, she's up and cheerful at 7:30-8:00. She gets about a 2-3 hour nap at daycare. The problem is that I'm falling asleep at 9:00 because I'm...

Hi all, I have a question on my 18 month old, she sometimes takes 2 naps and sometimes she only takes 1, but the bad thing is, when she takes 2 the second one is around 4 or 5 and then she will not go to bed until 11:00 or even later sometimes. How do I get her in a routine, where she goes to bed...

Hi all, I would like to help my child make a mothers day present for his mom this year (he is two) I'm having a hard time coming up with something cool from a 2 year old that he can participate it. Last year, his daycare teacher helped him to make a really cute gift. They took a picture of him and...

I guess there are a couple things I should go into first. My daughter is about 2 yrs old and her mother has rarely been a part of her life. Her mom will see her maybe every other weekend. Now on my side I have been exclusively seeing someone now for about 8 months now and on top of that I also...

Hi everyone, This post is for a friend with a 14YO daughter. Her daughter consistently misses the school bus. She's already missed it 3 times this week. Her mom wakes her up in plenty of time, but then she either doesn't get out of bed, or gets out but messes around, or whatever. I get the...

Is it just me? FIL says we should put snail bait in the yard and just tell DS (3yo) and DD (1yo) to stay away and not play in the dirt. I'm against any sort of poison the kids can get into. It's not like I can't teach them, but I think kids do get into things we tell them not to and I don't...
