Hello! My first baby is due any day. Labor will be induced on October 19 if she doesn't arrive before then on her own. My Mom just had a fatal stroke on October 13; I am NOT able to travel to be with family due to the stage of my pregnancy. Mom's services are October 20, and I'm not going to be...

I keep wondering if my child is the only toddler on earth who sleeps with not one but two rubber duckies. That also led me to wonder what goofy things other kids sleep with! DS also sleeps with a teddy bear, fwiw. But last night, I had to go search for "big ducky" since he had talked us into...

My daughter is too young to have her own bed, but she's tall and she's started tumbling over her crib rail. I've googled all over the place without finding a product to extend the height of her crib rails in a practical manner, but I can't imagine I'm the only one who's ever faced this problem. ...

For about two and a half years, we've had au pairs provide our primary childcare. I've been really happy with both my au pairs, though we did take some time off in between them as I was working part-time for about 8 months after my third was born and didn't need full-time care. My husband,...

Some of you probably know me from mkp. I mostly lurk there now due to lack of time to post. We have an almost-3 y.o. boy and a girl due soon. We got into a debate yesterday about where to do time outs. We haven't done much of them so far. Aaron is still in the tantrum stage, and at the moment we...

My daughter gets the hiccups on the order of 3-5 times per day. They seem particularly likely to come on if she starts crying for any reason. She's old enough now that they bother her. I can usually cure them by giving her a teaspoon of sugar (drinking water doesn't seem to help), but I hate to...

Could you please answer the following questions IF you have a child who has entered 4th grade. It's OK for your child to be older, but I only need information regarding 4th grade math for a client of mine. I need responses from *every* US state as well as from overseas. I'm looking for a wide...

Okay, this came up in another thread but I think we can separate the two: how did you handle your son's first wet dreams? (And what age was this?) Someone else suggested their sons do their own laundry so they never knew, but that leads me to a different question: do your sons ever get an...

I was trying to get up to help DH and the kids with something in the other room, and I smacked my knee quite soundly. I yelped and sat down and rubbed it, and - this is the delightful part - my almost 4 year old son came right over and gave me a hug and two kisses: one kiss on each knee. Wow, he...
