A one year old will not remember their birthday in the future so IMHO I would save the party for when they are a little older. For my DS#1's first birthday we had one of his friends around for tea (a fairly regular 'date' anyway) and had cake and other stuff. He didn't really notice the...

The world isn't always pretty. If you're prepared to watch the news WITH your child and help them understand what they see, I don't see a problem with it. I was always up on current events around that age, and I believe that discussing them with my folks helped me think analytically about the...

Our family has established its Harry Potter policy: Here's ours. We pre-purchased 3 copies. No one is allowed to spoil anything for those further behind. No one is to disturb anyone else's reading, or sleeping. No one is to neglect other duties. LOL, my family knew from the...

Little boy is almost four. We are trying to teach him some manners. Thinks like: Say "please" and "thank you," please knock before you come in to our bedroom Say "may I be excused?" when you're done with dinner please don't interrupt. We are having varying degrees of success. "Please" and...

It is ten years ago today since I posted my first usenet message.

Back then the...

Hi, are there any tips to wash DD’s (about 3yo) hair without her screaming throughout the whole process? In standing position, I have her head facing downward and hands covering face. Are there any better methods? Thanks in advance! Jean

So the phone rings at 12:15 AM; it's the sherrif's department, wondering why one of our cars seems to be left overnight at a boat launch. I explain that my 20 yo is supposed to be spending the weekend jet skiing and camping with friends -- but the car isn't in the campground, it's at the boat...
