I wondered if I could do in informal poll to see when your child stopped taking an afternoon nap? My guy is 28 months old and it seems like he is giving up his nap, little by little. One day he takes one and the next four days he won't, etc. I am continuing to put him in his bed at the normal...

A friend recently told me that you should always lower the handle of your infant seat when it's clicked into the base in the car because she'd heard the handle could be dangerous to the baby if you are in a crash with the handle up. Anyone heard of this? I did a quick Google on it, but came up with...

I know all churches are different, but if anyone can tell me what their church does, I'd be grateful. My question is in regards to church nurserys. Do they take children in the nursery on a first come first serve basis each Sunday? Or do you have to enroll your child? Are there always openings? ...

I can't get off the homework issue, can I? Seriously, the homework has been going a bit better so far this year with Julian. He still complains about it, but he's getting better at buckling down and doing it, partly because we had a conversation where I essentially shifted responsibility to him. I...

Anyone have one of these can say how well put together it is and does it come apart easily. My children have half a dozen playmobil toys but the largest (airliner) is a annoying as a toy beacause the wings, wheels, tail etc fall off very easily. My choice for my 3 year old for christmas is...

We're looking into starting some sort of savings fund for Ollie, to be used for college, or starting him on whatever it is he wants to do when he becomes an adult. We've just started doing research, and hoo boy, there are a lot of options out there for different kinds of accounts. I'm curious --...

I'm interviewing for a nanny position and need some tips. I have lots of childcare experience and am more than qualified, although the positition of nanny would be new to me. I just wanted to go into this interview prepared. Do any nannies out there (or families even) have any tips on things...

This sounded so interesting I thought it needed it's own thread. "Chookie" wrote in message ... And I should ask you my perennial questions, as you have a professional interest: Can you suggest...

Your children will never grow up to be properly educated unless you as parents take an active role in deciding what goes on at your their school. Those utterly pitiful public schools that teach evil-ution and sex education as if they were essential subjects are the absolute worst, but you can make...

I replied to a message in a bargain forum. The post was regarding the coupons for TRU and BRU. Specifically, suggesting being able to buy the Britax Convertible car seat for about $250, - 15%. My reply follows. But anything someone can tell me about Britax vs Graco vs Eddie Bauer seats would be...

Google has apparently made some changes. I can no longer access misc.kids.moderated through Google groups. And I noticed that some other newsgroups that don't have a whole lot of traffic have been deleted. (Though the traffic on mkm seemed to have picked up a bit recently.) I can see the messages...
