hello everyone, I plan to go on holidays with my son (5 1/2 yo.), including a long car trip. A good friend of mine usually let her kids (5 and 7) wear diapers or pulllups, when travelling, sightseeing or such things (You know what kind of sights the kids want to see ;-). The kids are actually dry,...

Also posted on am and mkf-l. Since a couple of weeks DS has changed from a non-vomiting person into a 'at-least-twice-a-day' vomiting person. At first we thought he had a bug, since his stool was also looser than normal, then we discovered he had two more teeth coming. It's not huge amounts, just...

Hi all, This year we gonna have a "real" Halloween night in our neighbourhood. We're in The Netherlands, so it's no real tradition, and I'm looking for a recipe for something I can make as my contribution to the festivities. There will be about 25 adults and 25 children from age 1,5 (my DS) to...

I'm wondering how one can tell (if one can tell, if it even really matters) the difference between a kid who is precocious vs a kid who is just super intelligent. My son will be three on September 9th. He always wants me to read him "the big question and answer book." He loves the pages about...

My son is 7 years old and very responsible. He recently wants to make his own instant oatmeal. He has watched us many times and now feels that he should be able to do this on his own. His dad is a chef and is very against this, I believe that if he thinks he is ready that we should use the...

Alex (25 months) isn't ready for a bed yet, but we want to get him used to having a pillow and blanket/comforter in the crib now. Unfortunately, I can't find any bedding that fits a crib mattress that isn't for infants. And "crib blankets" aren't large enough to tuck in sufficiently. Since toddler...

It has come to my attention that some persons here are whores. I will not call them by name but they are or used to be very sexually promiscuous. Such women are not welcome in this newsgroup.

Hi, I was wondering if any of the positive parenting gurus could help me in handling my son, or at least let me know if I'm expecting too much from the situation. Lately he's been very resistant to anything that involves him being restrained in any way, for even a minute. This includes diaper...

Hi, I'm new here, I'm usually over in mkb but thought my question more appropriate for a wider audience.
