I've been seeing my mom now and then.  I think she will be there for DD's
b-day next month.  She doesn't say hi to me when we meet, even when I greet

Hello, I have a 3 1/2 year old.  He doesn't go to bed until between
11pm and midnight.  He naps in the day for about 3 hours (usually
starts nap around 1pm, goes till about 4pm).  I am SO tired by the end
of the day, I'm just wiped out and feel underslept every day.  I cannot

My daughter potty trained last march (when she was 3.25), and it went

The last few weeks, she's been having accidents.  Just wetting her
