Yeah, I've thought of this. I had the choice between a 10:30 a.m. flight and a 2:30 a.m. flight and chose the latter. I hope I don't regret it, lol. In the past, she's slept, but that's when she...

We are preparing for another 12+ hour plane ride (20+ hour total trip). We've scheduled it so that the kids will hopefully be asleep much of the time, but I'd still like to be armed with a small...

I just wanted to sympathize, because I can relate to how crazy it can make you feel to have a baby that wants to be attached to you constantly while she sleeps. I can deal with night wakings, but I...

My older DD used to tell me that she didn't like something without even trying or, or having only tried it a long time ago, so I had a rule that she had to try everything on her plate. If she really...

I think I started putting both my kids in time out when they were around 20 months old, but until they are closer to 2, time out usually meant me holding them in the "time out" spot while they calmed...

I would add to this that the nurses in the hospital play a HUGE role. If you get on the bad side of the nurses and they question your fitness as a parent, they will call protective services. They...

Yes, please take her back in to the doctor or to the ER, and let us know how things go. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, but I wouldn't sit on this.

I vote for keeping her where she is until KG starts. I really wouldn't worry about her not knowing anyone in her new school in NH. Honestly, having moved my kids to a different country, I can tell...

I think I understand this point of view better now; so thank you for articulating it. I think having a close relationship with someone and being diplomatic/tactful in how one addresses an issue can...

Well, I would have been, except that the thread got locked on the other board where I posted the same question! Basically, the conversation turned into people telling me I was extremely judgmental...

Oh wow. I'd like to go to one of your family's parties!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I will just let DH think it over and decide what to do.

And thank you Kacey'sWifey for giving...

I don't expect people to be sinless around me. I am not sinless around me. The alcohol issue is the only thing I would address in this way.

You know what's really interesting is that I posted this same exact query to a different message board, same exact wording and everything, and the vast majority of them are telling me it would be...

No, there's no one I could think would not come because there's no alcohol. What happens is that sometimes, people bring wine as their contribution to the potluck (MIL's large events are usually...

The kids are only allowed to eat in the kitchen (or in our old house, in the dining room), except for the occasional special allowance, when I let them sit on the floor in the living room or at their...

First the background: Due to religious reasons, we do not drink alcohol at all. In fact, it is really frowned upon to be in the company of people who are drinking or to eat at a table where...

We are setting up a schooling area in our family room/libarary. What that entails is some dedicated bookshelf/storage space and a table. But I imagine we will also use the dining table or other...

I have the potential to make a lot more money than my husband, who is a school teacher, but I'm really not interested in working as much as I'd have to work to make a lot of money, so we try to make...

If a man has good control over himself, the pull out method is another good option. I know a lot of people say it didn't work for them, but that's usually b/c the guy doesn't pull out in time. If...

I keep hearing about initiatives to make school lunches and snacks healthier and, while I appreciate the concern and sentiment, it is bothering me to no end that everything seems to be based on...

I think it's easier for schools/daycares to totally ban certain types of traditionally unhealthy food because even though your version of that food made me relatively healthy, others' wouldn't be. ...

We plan on using a classical curriculum, guided in large part by The Well-Trained Mind by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer...

Thanks for sharing. I was just noticing that my 4.5 year old is picking up on reading very quickly, not because we spend a lot of time doing drills with her (we've gone over all the letter sounds...

My 4.5 year old just got hers done a few days ago. She's been asking for months, as most of her friends have had pierced ears since they were infants. DH wasn't that keen on it at first, but...
