We have a senior boy and freshman girl. Our girl must get to school early (a whole 20 min) to drop off her instrument before her first class. School starts at 7:40 am and we like to leave at 7:15 - 7:20 am. We have had to leave without him four times to get our daughter to school on time. He...

My 7 year old (almost 8) is just driving us nuts by his absent mindeness - I mean the type of behavior where we ask him to put on his shoes, 5 min later we remind him, he still is playing around and then 5 min later we remind him and by the fourth time, I lose my patience and raise my...

My children's dentist just told me not to ever let my kids have any carbonated drinks because carbonation is "pure evil" because the carbonic acid produced by carbonation erodes teeth. I find this hard to believe. I can see that sugary carbonated drinks would have the same issues as other sugary...

My friend swears it's normal, and I have a call into the pediatrician, but I figured I'd ask anyhow. If you have a daughter who is in the midst of her puberty growth spurt, did she get stretch marks? DD has them on her butt, thighs, boobs, and sides. She's very thin, at 5'3 she weighs about 108,...

Basically I have a 4 year old daughter who is creative, expressive and happy most of the time. Her teachers have nothing but praise for her and she truly is one of the sweetest children I know. However, lately (the last 3 months) she has begun having major tantrums. The last one was enough to...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's getting a bit tiresome seeing one misguided American after another with their cutsie little yellow or red-white-blue ribbons on their outsized SUVs. Yeah, I guess it's the thing to do; maybe part of that whole soccer-mom culture. Unfortunately,...

Hello, With Thanksgiving being yesterday, somehow the BIG TOPIC of the day among all our relatives was why our 3.5 yr old daughter isn't potty trained, and my what a travesty it is that we are such lazy parents, how she "runs the show" in our house, and boy, aren't we going to have fun with her...

Have you ever done a street scramble before? It's an urban orienteering event (see he http://www.streetscramble.com/). We did a local street scramble as a family team recently. We had a blast, even if we didn't come close to winning. (Top sco 260; our score, 130; average 142) But the way...

I'm just posting my thoughts, see what some other parents think about my situation. I'm the single father of my 19mo son. I'm currently finishing off a year of study in University (have finals coming up at end of month), so I'm now off student loans and need to settle into a working for the...

Hi, I was wondering whether anyone can advise re my DH's parents - grandparents to the baby girl I have just recently had. I find them incredibly interfering - they keep offering unwanted advice like their word is gospel, and seem to delight when I do something wrong. My DH is always on the phone...

Are you the child of a military parent, who turned out great because of your father's or mother's unique or novel child-rearing techniques? Are you an Army, Navy, Marine or Air Force NCO or officer, active duty or retired, who successfully raised your children while serving your country? If you...

Evan in the grocery store parking lot yesterday: "F-zero-R-D. Dat spells 'TRUCK!'" --Robyn (mommy to Ryan 9/93 and Matthew 6/96 and Evan 3/01)

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. For my first assignment, I took cinnamon raisin bread and milk. The kids loved it. My daughter wants to take snack every day. I have lots of ideas for the next few rounds. Karen G
