    Getting rid of sippy cups

    Anyone have any tips on how to do this without having to replace your carpet, paint your walls, etc. from the constant spills? I have 2 year old twin boys and the time has come to work on potty training, but I'm concerned because they are very attached to their sippy cups. They drink a lot of...

    Need some advice

    I don't think it should be a problem for you to take such a little baby to Mass. My husband and I took our twin boys and kept them in the sanctuary for pretty much the whole time, until they were about 14-15 months old. We either held them or they slept in their carseats/carriers on the floor...

    Prosperity theology?

    Could someone please explain what this is all about? In its most grossly simplified form, it doesn't seem to fit with how I believe God answers prayers. E.g., I wanted a Mercedes, so I prayed for one and God answered my prayer. I admit that all I know about this is what I read in the...

    Very young children and Mass

    You have given me a lot to think about...although I am still undecided about when I'm going to start bringing them again. :scratch: They are starting to mature enough that they can follow simple "social" directions (sit still, shh, etc.)...for a little while. We may end up with coloring...

    Insecurity and the ex wife - Question for the remarried women here.

    My husband's first wife left him in a scenario much like that described by the first poster. (Except she is still looking for someone to marry her.) I was at first, because they had children together. Now we have children of our own and that doesn't bother me so much. There's really...

    The other mom (or dad)

    My husband has two sons from his previous marriage. They call me by my first name. I have a stepmother and I call her by her first name. Stepparents seem like they get "parent" titles more often when their bioparent isn't in the picture or when they are very close to the children. But...

    Bedtime prayer for young children?

    Hi, Could someone suggest a good bedtime prayer that I can start to teach my sons? They will be 2 in August (twins). I would like to avoid the traditional "Now I lay me down to sleep" because when I learned that as a child, the only thing it did was cause me to lie awake worrying that I...

    Hello all, I'm just getting used to this board so bear with me. ;) I'm a Christian just trying to figure out where I belong, and hoping to be guided. :prayer: I'm happy to have found this site! :amen: Jennifer
