Bisou, I have only read the first and last pages of this thread and I need to go to bed, but I had to respond...I'm really surprised by the comments I'm reading.  Maybe people are so phobic of any sexual talk that they act as if a...

I just get totally irritated at her to the point that I know I snap at her over stupid things that I really shouldn't be mad about.  I'm not used to this new sassiness.    Example, today she was doing a dance move, I...

we have 2 cars, both very small and old (both are 97 cavaliers, 1 is a 2-door, the other is a 4-door). We have no payments and they are pretty reliable so we had planned on just using them until they wouldn't run any more. ...

The issue I have with these studies is that I don't see differentiation between using a baby-led weaning approach, which to me is a very natural laid back approach that people probably used before there were studies, and using a...

Could you link me some of this research?  Right now I feel like all the research says to wait, but naturally she'd be grabbing and mouthing everything, way more than what I'm allowing her to get into her mouth.  I feel like...

for my older daughter, we didn't let ANY food touch her lips until she was about 7 months old (though she did get nystatin when she had thrush, vitamins when she was little, and probiotics).  But now that I have a second child, I...

I'm having a hard time with this.  I think holidays should be about PEOPLE (well, as should life) and I personally would be happy doing minimal gifts (Maybe mostly hand-made gifts), volunteering, and spending some time with family...
