DD1 had her appointment with the pediatrician this morning. It was a last second appointment that I was squeezed in between appointments as soon as they possibly could due to her needing a post-op checkup before her dental surgery - which is on Tuesday morning. To keep to the main point and...

I'm a little disappointed at this time, and I think I'm just venting more than anything... DD1 had her appointment with the pediatric oral surgeon this morning. Just as a reminder, last month she wiped out real good on the side walk and smashed her teeth right out of her head. Both of her 2...

We're still trying to decide between a minivan and a midsize SUV (something like a Honda Pilot). One of the main differences that I think would effect us is the sliding doors of a minivan, or regular doors in an SUV - the automatic opening is great, but not fundamental, my bigger concern is...

I just got a note on these from my daughter's school, and I'm wondering how it's handled elsewhere. I have to say, as a mom, it almost seems like the school doesn't actually want us to do conferences at all-the conference times are between 1:00-3:00, when the pre-K kids leave at 11:30 and either go...

My uncle died this morning, so now I have a funeral to go to. This was an uncle that I was always very, very close to. He ended up in the hospital (again) almost 3 weeks ago. His health has been horrible for a couple of years now, actually. Bad diabetic (insulin dependant 3 or 4 times a day,...

Is that "love is for raising children" a novel concept? I do not find that expression or "love is for raising kids" on the Internet. Then again, I do not find "love is for managing relationships" or "love is for pleasing my libido" either. -- Are you a blissfully ignorant voter? Do you buy...

For those that ever did cloth diapers... What would you say is the absolute minimum to have on hand? With DS I didn't really cloth diaper him. At that point, I didn't have the money to buy cloth diapers or use a diaper service, the know-how to make them or a washing machine (I was hauling...

NEW YORK - Watch out for silent e. That little stealth agent can turn a glob into a globe, a plan into a plane. That's pretty hug, um, huge! Or as they say on "The Electric Company," silent e is the baddest ninja in town. Yes, "The Electric Company" has been switched back on, plugged back into...

I am just wondering! My DS (almost 7yr old) likes to watch re runs of I carly and Drake and Josh, so my 4yr old DD watches those with him too. I think most of the episodes are okay, except a few which contains some light kissing. What do you guys think? My DW thinks they are not suitable for...

Authorities find that grandparents, 46 and 59, are "too old" to care for their grandson, and handed the young boy a couple of male homosexuals instead. Details...

Three children appoximately 3 years between each of them. #1 and #3 are tall, #2 is small. All use their bikes, although perhaps at that time #3 uses the bike slightly more round the garden. The bikes are not bought new, second hand, and then passed down the family. #1 has just moved onto a new...

Kun heinäluoma otti 2008 vapun keskusteluaseekseen Suomen NATO-jäsenyyden ja lupaili, ettei kansamme ole sinne pakko mennä, jossei sitä kaipaa, on kyseessä tietysti demokratian peruselementti. Vaan miksei Heinäluoma samantien vaatinut asiasta kansanäänestystä myös? Olisi jäänyt sitten jatkon...

At what age do you consider appropriate for a child to be with a pet at the vet's office when it is put to sleep? If it matters in this situation, the child has grown up around animals, both healthy and neglected/abused rescues, so she has seen death. I have a rescue that we haven't been able to...

With DS... He's 8 (as of yesterday) and for a while now, I've been really losing my patience with him. I think it's been at least 3-4 days since he has had a shower or bath. NOT acceptable in my books. I believe a shower (or bath) is required around here every second day at the most. It's...

My wife sent me in search of some wool diaper covers today, and all I can find are single ones for $15 to $20 each on Ebay. I figured they would be in the $5 to $7 range each in multi packs, but so far have not been able to find anything like this. I obviously don't want to buy them one at...

BE FOREWARNED!!! The house below is cursed because the woman who owns the property abandoned her husband and children at very young ages in England and ran off with a rich man. Not only did she run off with a rich man but then both of them tried to whitewash him out and tried to steal his property...

Ugh... Today's my EDD with this one. I'm really so sick and tired of being pregnant. With my due date here right now and absolutely nothing, I'm not exactly thrilled haha Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to try and bring labor on?? I've tried everything I can think of... I've done...

#3 had grommets put in yesterday. A couple of hours afterwards he was running a mild temp (37.5C). They told me if it got worse to see theGP, which I've done today. She's prescribed antibiotics for infection, which I've started. He's now got a raging temperature, and the external ears are both...
