Oh that is awesome! So clever.

Why are you against daycare, may I ask? Some of them set up wonderful learning environments for children of that age in a learn through play curriculum. A three year old should not be expected to...

How is she feeling today?
Why do I stay? How can I put it? I like most things about my situation right now. Love that I am homeschooling. Love that I have never had to use daycare. I have carefully...

I haven't had an easy one. My three have all, and continue to, humble the sh!t out of me.

Pepperlu, that is a very difficult thing to be reconciling with and I perfectly understand why you are having those feelings. I wish I knew how best to cope with them, since I really see what you...

I actually change my answer to this! Lol! There is really no upside to a child wetting the bed, miserable for them and us. I'd wait until she is totally dry all the time and going on her own in the...

I would say if she is waking up at least 5 of the 7 nights that it would not be unreasonable to give up the night diaper. I also would ask her what she would like to do and base it on that along with...

I believe, as well, that happiness is a choice. Of course if there is a chemical imbalance then it's not but since that hasn't been an issue for me, I have always been able to slap myself out of a...

You all are such an amazing group of women. I never knew if I would have kids, or get married. I never planned for a thing. I did think parenting would be super easy for me since I worked with...

I am a great burper. I once said, "Another one bites the dust", in a belch. One of my most shining moments. Of course, dbf is totally appalled at women who burp so I kind of curbed that when I...

Hi Inca!! Nice to see ya in here. I drink coffee in the morning and usually a cup in the afternoon to get me through the day. I also drink wine and beer and water and that completes the list of...

It has been my experience that homeschooling eliminated that struggle.

I could fall asleep in the middle of the day, at night, in the car. I have always been able to sleep like a champ.

L, love the story. I know what you mean, too, about the kids doing their own...

Kate, I want to hear the diet coke story!

I would return it for the one with better sun protection.

I use canning jars for that. I leave about an inch of space so they don't touch the lid since the bpa and such. I store them in the freezer that way too.

Oh Suja, I feel your pain. Dbf is the WORST when he is sick and I am very unsympathetic. I will just raise my eyebrows when he comes limping through the house because he has a COLD! I'm so curious...

Same here, Chrissy!

I meant to say in my previous post that dbf is very judgemental and quick to assess a situation based on his own bias so I cannot be sure if this guy was truly drunk or not....

I like women and men pretty equally assuming they are kind and friendly. There are certain things that bother me and cattiness is certainly on the list! I am not hoping to be friends with these women...

I just want to say, that as a childcare provider (though not a nanny, but still) I have been what some may called "screwed" (dbf to be particular) out of hours or wages because a family needed to...

Hmmm, so what you are all saying is that you can see why they don't want to be friends with me!! I don't think that makes me feel better! lol Christine (Sorry for the lack of paragraphs here, no...

I would unquestionably start the new nanny in a timely manner and give notice to your current one. I would be very surprised if she wasn't understanding about this, seeing as she loves your children...

It does go on and looks white from the zinc oxide. It worked very well though! I used it (with written permission from parents) on all my daycare kids every Friday for a summer since Fri was water...

This is basically the recipe I used. http://wellnessmama.com/2558/natural-homemade-sunscreen-recipe/

I said the same thing to dbf this morning, that maybe she is just shy. I've been accused of snobbery before, when I actually just didn't know how to join the conversation as it takes me awhile to...
