Ok have a question, there was a lady today who was very nice when Ky had a
fit in the street, she brought out a cold face  washer and a pillow, her
daughter ran off and filled our drink bottle etc. Now I know from when we
were talking she's a single mum with 3 kids and I'd like to ...

Teens are a curse and they will eat away decades of your life, that's
for sure.
So I recommend to sell the kids before they become teens and get new
ones, to avoid this problem.

Our DD (16 mo) sucks her right thumb (the left will not do, even in an
emergency!).  She doesn't suck it a lot...rarely if at all when awake.
She does suck it quite a bit while napping or sleeping at night
though...

My question is that I ran into someone who claims they were not potty
trained as a child, and that resulted in their loss of their bowles,
which she says will continue all her life.  Anyone who has studied
Developmental Psychology is this at all possible developmentally? I

Hiya all I am going nuts
I have an eight year old daughter who doesn't speak - she SHOUTS.
Her normal speaking tone is very loud and is driving me to distraction. We
have had her hearing tested, and it is fine, so definitely no hearing

Is this normal for a 3 & a half year old???
Emily constantly talks absolute rubbish, making up words that mean nothing and
not even using them to express herself.. It's like it is just to hear herself
speak..

In my house, we have been here since the 1st of November and I still have
not unpacked the study ( it's a mountain of boxes and junk)or put stuff
tidily in the hall cupboards, it's all shoved in, I feel I cannot get on top
of all the mess and do the daily stuff like kitchen, ...

I reopened my paternity case (I sought and was granted paternity) and
filed a motion to modify child support. Of course she filed a motion
for summary judgement and contempt for being in arrears. I think I
would like a jury trial. Question. How do I go about that? Do I have to

I have moved to another European country from the UK and have found out that
the. BCG jab is given to babies here.  I was under the impression that it
was done at 12/13/14 years of age.Both my sons (17 and 14) had it done at
that age.

I recently bought a space motif bed set for my son. Well, a fool and her
money are soon parted, and in this case I guess I deserve it. For the price
I paid, it makes sense that it was junk. It di dnot say anywhere on the
outside packaging that one should not wash the comforter. How ...

My 10 years old boy peed in his snowsuit 3 times when playing outside
this winter. He said it's by accident, but I don't thing is accident,
because he never have accident when he's out of his snowsuit. I know
he like playing in snow with his friends, sleeding, snowmen, snowfort,

I'm new at this, so I'm reading some books. The consensus seems that
after a year of age you change from formula to milk. When reading about
iron, the books say "use iron fortified cereal". The baby cereal and the
formula are both iron fortified. However, I'd rather start moving ...
