Has anyone read the book Raising Your Spirited Child? I'm currently reading it and it's amazing so far. My son has always been energetic and on the move. Even in the womb!! Seriously, I thought he'd just jump right out sometimes. Now that he's 3, things are really hectic sometimes. I thought...

I am an only child and I know my mom heard the same things when I was growing up. I'm relatively normal. :) haa. Seriously though, if you don't want more kids and don't intend to have them, it's no one's business but yours. I think only kids are fun. THey're independent, sensative, creative...

We paid our sitter $8 an hour last summer. SHe came to our house and babysat my son for about 10 hours a week while I worked. It was worth it to have her come to us adn not have to drive to get her and drop her off and it was worth it to have my son at home where I knew he was safe, happy and...

For the most part, things have changed for the better. We now have one beautiful son and another child on the way in about 6 weeks. We're doing well with our home, life etc. I can agree to some degree about what someone said about loosing part of yourself. I think that just happens though. Not...

Right on Big Norsk. whenever I'm unhappy w/ my relationship or situation, I try to give give give to my husband and do things that would make him happy. That, in turn makes me happy in giving and then he returns the happy feelings and deeds. Although his returning the deeds or feelings is NOT...

Depends. Does he know someone by that name? I'd joke about it at first, but prolly keep my eyes open at the same time. I do call my husband my son's name and vice versa. My husband once called me another womans name, but fortunately it was his long time friends name. And it was when we were...

My situation is similar to yours. My husband comes from the calm almost ignoring any kind of conflict home, where I came from a yelling and screaming household. I tend to fire up pretty easily sometimes, but have gotten better by the grace of God. :) My husband told me once (and it really made a...

Actually I think it would make the situation that much more difficult for me. I would have guilt about the seperation/divorce already. Adding to that getting right into another relationship would seem a bit soon for me. I'd want to be by myself for a while and just spend some time mending my own...

It's a really tough choice. We have struggled about where to send my son (3years old) when he's old enough to go. I initially wanted to home school, but feel that he would do better with more kids. He is a very social kid and thrives on interraction with others. Plus somehow he enjoys our time...

Initially I had vowed never to spank my child. I just couldn't see myself doing it and making my son cry. Well...... now that he's three things changed a little. We only spank his bottom and only when necessary. I can say that we rarely use spankings as a consequence. That means when other...

Hi there, Thanks everyone for the input. I have tried homeopathic remedies a bit. My son smashed his toe a few weeks ago and she gve me some little tablets (I forget what they were) but its intent was to stop blood blister from forming and aid in the healing a bit. It has healed particularly...

Does anyone use them? I have a friend who's a classical homeopath. I was wondering about how you like these remedies and how they've worked, or not for you all. Input appreciated. My son has allergy symptoms and I am considering having her give a treatement rather than a doctor who will give...

I had a midwife for my first child and do now with my second pregnancy. I LOVE her. She's awesome. I also have a friend who's a classical homeopath. She has given me natural remedies rather than medications etc. No home births because I was not a "traditional" pregnancy. I am over 35 so they...

My son is the same way. He's 3 and sometimes eats like a champ and sometimes plays around and is goofy. I think it's just the age. Personally I don't care if he plays about a bit w/ his food or is silly. HE's only young once and by the time he's a teenager, he may not even want to sit at the...

I did too with my first and now with my second. I have an outie belly button now (30 weeks) and at the end of my first pregnancy, my belly button and surrounding area was completely numb. I heard that this is a milk hernia. Nothing to worry about tho unless your doc/midwife does. My belly button...

Mine is December 4th. Feeling the third trimester sleepyness.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I agree with what everyone is saying. Run like the wind!! I think this guy wants nothing more than to have an emotional affair (possibly more) with you and that would cause lots of trouble w/ you and your hubby. If my husband got a message from his ex, I'd be ticked off if he contacted her...

I agree w/ some of the other posters. Counseling is where I'd go. I understand what you're saying about being upset about sleeping w/ him and then he slept w/ someone else. I'd be ticked too. But would I give up on the marriage adn the man? Only you, he and God can answer that one. I would give...

Hey, I found another interesting website. Just in an attempt to know who your neighbors are in hopes to protect your kids. http://www.felonspy.com/search.html

Good point, Red. I'd say that if I spanked my son, he would not say that I was comforting him at all! Someone mentions that they believe that a child does not have cognitive skills until they are several years old. I find this to be false in both my personal life as well as my work. Children...
