Our 3 year old son has been challenging us more and more recently. We've always used timeouts but those aren't having any effect over the past few days. We've tried putting him in his room but he screams and pounds on the door to the point that I'm a bit worried he's going to hurt himself. ...

Hello to all of you! I am Kasia from Poland (Europe). I am 32 and I have 7 children ages from 7 to 18 years. Six of them are my foster children, only the youngest boy is my biological son. I was married for 6 years to a wonderful guy, but unfortunately I lost him almost 3 years ago in a car...

Has anyone here with grown kids taken Wellbutrin while breastfeeding the baby? Would you say the kids have grown up with excellent mental health, or are you not sure? My wife is trying to decide whether to go back on Wellbutrin (with a 4 month old who is nursing). We are concerned whether the...

We're in the market for a new stroller. Right now we have a jogging stroller and an umbrella stroller, but I want something in between the two in size. You know, just your standard stroller. I want to be able to take it to the grocery store, and some of the stores in the neighborhood have rather...

I started working a full time job a few months ago and mornings have become a major issue. I really need to be out of the house by 7:30 in order to take DD#2 to daycare and then get to work by 8 a.m. This is totally not happening. None of the kids are morning people, but this is getting...

I just had a home pregnancy test turn up positive on Tuesday, and started spotting Wednesday night. Thursday, my OB confirmed the pregnancy, and sent me home with orders to stay in bed with my feet up, and come in for a second pregnancy test on Monday, to see what the hormone levels are doing. I...

TWILIGHT SAMURAI A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2004 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2 A blend of a Jane Austen comedy of manners with a Shakespearean romantic tragedy and told with a Kurosawa-like appreciation for cinematic subtleties,

HI, I can see that many of you are strong that I should have maintained a 100% "one to one", which may imply why the match went bad. I gave this kid a lot of attention and he seemed to like me. Moving in was not an option nor was my intention, but the way they were acting, it seemed like it was...

We normally use cloth diapers on DS, but we're going to need to use disposables for a week or so while we're on vacation. I bought a pack of Huggies Supreme size 3 this weekend and tried them out. I wasn't sure what size to buy. DS is about 22 pounds (that's a guess). The size 3 say that they are...

MEAN GIRLS A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2004 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): *** It's a jungle out there, and Cady -- pronounced "Katy" not "Catty" -- Heron should know. Recently arrived in America after living in Africa with her

"mountainspring" wrote in message ... Am I the only one these days who doesn't feel the need for various structured activities for preschool-aged children? The only activity I had really gotten my 3.5 year old son involved...

I'm looking for some art and crafts ideas to do at home. Mainly, for things using the basics (paper, crayons, scissors, tape, glue, hole punch, etc.) that one mostly has around the house, or can purchase cheaply. The interest started doing the project in the latest Ladybug magazine (thanks to...

How to find a nanny Finding the right nanny can be difficult because personality can play as much of a factor as work experience. at http://www.washtimes.com/familytimes/20040502-121028-9985r.htm Challenge in letting nanny go A nanny can become a hybrid of employee, friend and extended...

Hello to the group! I was hoping I could tap some of your collective experience regarding kids and swimming lessons. My daughter is 5, has always loved the water, even if she was a bit timid about getting her face wet. Anyway, I enrolled her in a beginners class at the local pool. The class is...

When is it okay, when your child is outside somewhere (not necessarily outside of your home) to get dirty -- meaning, hands in dirt, nature, etc.? When is it not okay? Mine, for point of reference, is almost 2.5 years old. It has come up in a discussion with my spouse, but instead of describing...

Please ignore.....

HI Again, It is clear that I continue to come across badly. Me being arrogant is far from the truth, for those who know me. The "Kiss My Feet" remark didn't help. The person who "gives me no support", I respect that you don't agree with me, but is there anything you give me credit for? What...

What is a father? I got into an argument with my dad a few months ago and I suspect I'll being getting into another argument with him tomorrow (not intentionally). (I suppose I should point out that I'm 21 years old.) It seems that it's alright for him to treat me crappy but I can't or shouldn't...

My DH has never been into the whole craft thing that much. I think he is a bit different than some kids. You read in the parenting mags that kids are into process not product. I think that is not so for my son. He always wants me to draw him something. It is the something that he wants, not...
