Saturday morning I finally got to wash my 2 yo DS's cloth diapers. It's been a bad week, so they sat for 3 days. Yes, ick. As I opened the (dry pail) lid, a fruit fly flew out. So I get half way through the pail and I see many little...

OP here. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has posted. It is an emotional roller coaster right now for me, and reading all your kind words have been a big help. I'm still trying to process so much new information -- this may take...

I would so appreciate anything you wish to say or tell me. I am feeling very overwhelmed and frightened about the future. I am not trying to complain, but my situation is this: I am 40 and this was a surprise pregnancy (my fault). I...

OP here. I guess I wasn't very clear earlier. I do have a set and intend to keep them. We do have internet access, but I admit to being old-fashioned and like the idea of teaching my children how to look in a book for reference. And,...

OP here. SubliminalDarkness and maybe a few others commented on storing furniture in the basement. Most of our furniture has come from parents and grandparents (some of whom have died), so a lot of the pieces have memories attached....

OP here. BobandJess99 -- you summed it up perfectly! It is about priorities, and I can't go on living with my MIL. I tried and failed! This house is small, but it's all we can afford. Plus, it is super close to my husband's two jobs, so...

DD is 3 and is definitely a grazer when it comes to eating. So often she'll not eat much at dinner. She will sometimes wake up at night saying she's hungry -- the first few times she did this I tried to get her to go back to sleep...
