Christmas 3 years ago, Dh brought me a little pine tree in a pot. It's done very well, growing taller than Dd. It's grown to completely cover a south window so Dh had the idea that to brighten our living room again, he could move it...

My Dd weaned awhile ago, but first she weaned from my right side. She preferred my left since early babyhood, really young. I had low supply and there was less milk on the left. But when I pumped, I saw that on the right side the...

The girl who nursed a zillion times a day at two and told me I'd have to put up with her nursing when she was bigger than I am, weaned herself this January at 7-1/2. Last year she was still nursing morning, night, and at least once...

My story is here: http://www.mothering.com/discussions....php?t=1064361 Slowly over the past weeks to month or two, I noticed that Dd was not her usual enjoyable self. I figured it was some sort of half year thing, as she tends to...

To answer the questions: Dd was 8lb7oz at birth, 99%ile I think. But I'm small boned and so is Dh even though he is tall. By the time she was a year old she had found her way down to where she was probably meant to be, much to the worry...

happyhats: I've thickened Dr. Bronner's soap. I don't seem to use the stuff like others here. I had a large bottle with a handle and a narrow top purchased many years ago. Like 10. Before Dd was born (she's now 7), the cap broke...

Several plants are missing suddenly from Dd's garden. The others I'm not so sure when I last saw them in bloom but there are holes in her garden. Dd is upset that her stevia plant, which was 2 inches high at the start of the summer and...

Eat the vegetables yourself. I don't agree with 'sneaking' them in; eventually kids need to come face to face with the things or they'll end up like my father who ate no vegetables but peas, potatoes, and sauerkraut. If your child...

I'm not sure I can help here but I can comisserate. Maybe the comments above can help with younger children. The moral of my story is that you really need to decide whether to say anything to your friend. I waited for the...
