I figured horns were a relatively small expense, and break time was precious, so I bought extra horns and washed at home. It worked pretty well.

We recently found a win98 laptop that we've plugged in and given to dd (3.5). It doesn't have internet access (it doesn't even have a battery - so it's always plugged in when in use), but it does have a bunch of old educational games on...

The more I let housework slide, the less mama-guilt I feel about working. Because then those are the nights that dd and I really spend time together. So, basically in my house, chores happen either after she's asleep (if I'm still...

I think it will get better, too. It's also entirely possible that your son realizes you are just downstairs in the basement, and will do better when he knows you are gone-gone. And as the nanny spends more time with him, she will get...

Hm. For the things I pay out of pocket for, I expect to have to take time off, too. That's *if* I can get seen at all. I'd like to see a dermatologist about my acne - but there are only 2 within 300 miles, and neither of them are...
