I'm in a bit of a state of shock and due to constraints around the situation there isn't really anyone i can talk to about it!! I had a phone call about an hour ago to say that last Sunday my BIL left my sister :cry: They have been married for 17 years and have two children (13 and 10). I...

Is anyone going on holiday/vacation this year? If so, do you know where yet?

What does the term BINGO mean? I've read it a couple of times on here but I just can't work it out lol

Over the last few weeks over been feeling that I've be failing totally as a mom. I've been feeling that I can't control my 3 1/2yo and that no matter what I try in order to discipline him, nothing works. Well last week was the school holidays and our church always does a holiday club for the...

Am I being a bad mom not letting my ds and dd watch tv for more than an hour or so a week? Ds doesn't even know that we can get a childrens channel on our tv. I know that they shouldn't be watching too much tv but am I being mean by letting them watch so little? Everyone around me seems to...

How do you know when a child is ready to come out of diapers at night? I'm sure ds isn't anywhere near but I wondered if there is anything I should be looking out for. He's 3 1/2 and is pretty much 100% there during the day. He has a sleep during the day as well as sleeping at night.

I was just thinking (and at half midnight that's never a good idea!)....... manipulation has been brought up in another thread. What exactly is it? Is all manipulation bad or can it sometimes be good? Discuss!!!

I was wondering if there is going to be a light at the end of the tunnel any time soon. DS is 3 1/2 and has been having 'terrible two's since he was 1 1/2! I know that what he is doing is pushing the boundaries and seeing what he can get away with, but it's wearing me out. I love the...

So hubby and I are going away from the night on Friday! It's the first time dd won't of been with me for the night, and the first time hubby and I have been on our own, for 15 months. Apart from the apprehension of leaving dd (also leaving ds but we've left him a number of times before) for...

Hi My son loves fire engines and I really want to do a picture of one for his room but I can't find one anywhere. Does any one have a pattern for one that I could borrow please?

I'm at SAHM with two children. My dh is the sole earner in our house. Recently I had a pregnancy scare (we've decided on sticking with two and we have taken serious precautions against getting pregnant without going as far as either of us having surgery) and my dh said that he really couldn't...

My husband is the treasure at our church. I'm assuming that counts as a ministry? When he was asked if he would become treasurer (it's a position that has to be voted on by our church members and is renewed every 3 years) I agreed that I would support him. I still do. I find it so hard...

My in-laws are driving me crazy at the moment (who's don't!) Dh and I have a boy who's 3 and a girls who's 1. DS I think is a fairly typical 3yo boy who is testing boundaries at the moment. A few weeks ago my in-laws put it into ds's head that he needed a pair of sneakers as his boots...

DD is just over 1. At the moment she isn't liking her food and I don't know what to do. She eats her breakfast no problem. And she'll start her lunch but after about 10 mouthfuls she won't take any more. It isn't that she doesn't like it. I'm very reluctant to give her sweet stuff, which I...

At what age did you put your child to bed in their own room rather than them sleeping in your room?

What things have your child/ren done that have made you laugh (although maybe not in front if them as it was actually naughty!!)

My little boy (age2 1/2) has been I'll with a tummy bug. He's been hardly drinking anything and although the bug is over it's left him dehydrated. We need to get him drinking but he won't because it now hurts (or he thinks it's going to). We've seen the dr and they want a wee sample to rule out...

Hi just to let you all know i had a baby girl on 18th oct at 4.50pm, weighing 8lb 6oz, measuring 54.5cm and called Esther Rebekah Anne. Birth went well - serious labour lasted from about 11am til 4.50pm. i had a 3rd degree tear which i spent 1/2 hour in surgery having repaired. seems...

I've had a pain in my left side that has come and gone since i had my little boy nearly two years ago - i'm pretty sure its from where they sewed me back together after my c-section. However the last few days it's been hurting pretty much whenever i'm doing anything on my feet. I'm 17 weeks...

How soon did you have to start wearing maternity or bigger clothes when you were pregnant with your second baby?
