Hello, My ex-wife has sole custody of our 2 year old son, I pay for the regular support, but she wants me to pay for half of the daycare costs. Is this right? Do I have to pay for half?

I've been avoiding thinking about this, but Micah will be old enough for preschool in September. Any thoughts on their merits?? They are pretty expensive where we are (the heart of Silicon Valley... where we pay a high school girl $10/hour for babysitting!) and I seem to recall reading that...

Hi folks, Hypatia (age 2.5) is very croupy and coughing a lot now (but not pneumonia). I can't seem to find anything on the net, either way, that would explain whether Vicks is actually effective, or whether it is just a placebo. Anyone have any cites? I'd rather not bother with the stuff if...

Happy New Year! Well, a "high risk" pregnancy followed by major abdominal surgery and some days in the NICU was expensive. We'll be itemizing tax deductions this year. Should we consult a CPA or tax preparer? Or is this something doable on our own? (We keep good records.) Can anyone recommend...

Hi Folks, I am keen to see if someone can help me. My 1 year old son had to go to hospital due to severe deydration from gastro. They had to give him a drip and take blood for testing. I stayed with him, but he was still VERY upset when they did the procedure. It seems that the trauma of this is...

I ended up getting a well child visit with a different doctor so we could be seen sooner, rather than see our own doctor for two separate visits, as I've only seen her once anyway, I wasn't bothered. I got the antifungal cream and it appeared to work, but initially we weren't also using a...

Hi all, This is only the 2nd night it's happened but it's scary as ever. I have read a fair bit about "Night Terrors" and this doesn't seem to fit exactly. Our toddler turns 26 months old on the 1st of the year. He wakes up at about 2:30am, starts saying "no, no". Seems like a dream but we...
