car seat by
Stephanie Stowe
Hi. I hate my DD's carseat. It is a hand-me-down from my sister. Anyway, the
long and short of it is, I need to get her a new car seat. Can someone
recommend one that
- is good for a non-latch car. (If a seat is latch compatible, does it make
it NOT appropriate for an older car)
- comfortable for...

Skipping naps by
ChitaShines
My DD is 11 mos old. On average she takes 2 naps per day. Most of the time
she actually sleeps for her naps, but sometimes she won't. I'll finish
giving her the bottle and put her in the crib for a nap, but she's wide
awake. Sometimes she'll briefly cry and then go about her business...

swim lessons etiquette by
[email protected]
I'll be taking my not-yet-diaper-trained dd to swimming lessons soon.
Their pamphlet mentioned that she should be either wearing a swimsuit
or a little swimmers type diaper. I was wondering if these are standard
instructions. I was curious if she's wearing only the swimsuit, is it
ok if she pees in...

Teens: what do you do when their friends are troubling? by
shinypenny
DD10 has been best friends with this girl since kindergarten. She has
always been a sweet, wonderful kid, until the last year or so. Her
parents are going through a pretty sordid divorce, and I know that has
a lot to do with her recent change in behavior, which I see as a form
of crying out for...

My good DD and her wrong doings by
Jen
My DD, 12 years old, is a great lovely girl, but immature. About 2
months ago I got to know she sometimes (not always, fortunately) hang
out with a not very good crowd, some of them boys and girls older than
her. I wouldn't say bad kids, but all of them kids whose parents are so
involved with...

Chosing a school (elementary) by
goofeegyrl
We live in an area where there are a lot of immigrants and therefore
the majority of kids at the local elementary are ESL kids. Since
Sophie does not fall into that category, I have some reservations that
she would thrive in a school that concentrates so much on the ESL
aspect. I have some other...

scary weekend by

DD spiked a fever of 105.9 Saturday. I took her in right away. Of course,
her temp got down to 102.3 when I finally got in. The doc said maybe
roseola. Midnight Sunday, I fell asleep next to her. She rolled over and
put her face on mine. It burned hotter than I've ever felt. I normally

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern to make ballet slippers?
My husband is a vegetarian and we both try and avoid leather when
possible. I just cannot find ballet slippers that are fully
non-leather. I've found some that are canvas, but still have leather
soles.
However, I can't seem to...

Gift suggestion needed by

I just got e-mail from my sister, with a picture of her not-quite 2 yo
in a cast that starts just under her belly button and goes down to her
toes on both legs, with a rod between the two legs. (She fell -- no
long term problems likely, but the next month or two should be, um,
interesting.)
So --...
