I have been trying to potty train her on and off since she turned two. She hates to have a dirty diaper and understands what the potty is for. However, she refuses to use it. She will sit on it for awhile them she wants to get up, minutes later she wets her panties. If I just continue to put her in panties and deal with the mess will she eventully get the hang of it?

I'm not talking about a child being responsible to clean themselves, I'm asking about when it's OK to leave the bathroom for short periods of time (going in to check on them periodically) while the child is playing in the bath. Around what age?

I'm getting so overwhelmed at the information on breastfeeding. I don't know what I need/don't need. Should I get a pump? A good one or just decent? What about the Medela Single Deluxe Batter/Electric Breast Pump for $64.99 verses the Lansinoh Double Electric Breast Pump for $149.99. Or should I rent from the hospital?

I got if from the net and thought it was funny and true!

Name: Big Bird Has A Fat ***
Type: Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes
Description: This group is for anybody who feels that Big Bird is a poor role model for the youth of america.

Big Bird's obesity has rendered it genderless, it cannot even fly due to its big fat ***, and it is obviously suffering from obesity-induced sleep apnea. Additionally, this has been pointed out to me :
SMACxEnterprises: there's no way BB could wipe his own behind
That is both a disturbing and unnecessary visual. If you are disturbed by Big Bird's Big Fat *** and/or concerned and/or simply don't want to picture Big Bird trying to wipe it's ***...THIS GROUP IS FOR YOU!!

My 2-year-old girl always needs a soother when she goes to bed; she even searches for it in her sleep and puts it in her mouth, i dont know how to make her stop using it. Moreover, she needs to watch video of all ads and title songs of serials when she is eating, which i started when she was just 4 months old. Now, she refuses to have even a spoon of food, if the video is not running. I even tried engaging her mind in toys and even took her out while feeding. But nothing works. Pl. tell me how to make her overcome both these addictions.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has been diagnosed with (or suspect they have) prenatal depression. I am suffering from this and would appreciate some feedback on what treatment works for you, and what teqhniques you are using to cope.

Some details- I am 25. Have a 4 yo son. Recently moved to a rural farm for hubbys job. 4 months pregnant. No friends or family within a 4 hour drive. Very lonely and secluded. Stay at home mom, NOT by choice, but because we live rural and I can't find a job here (recent college grad, also)...Anyone else in this situation, feel free to email me.

I got in a LOT of TROUBLE. My dad was annoyed he had to go to my school again. He yelled at me in the principals office in front of the principal and vice principal. Then they asked me to leave and he talked with them and I came back in and he decided he was going to paddle me right there. I was like that is so dumb you haven't done that in a long time. But he did and it was SOOO EMBARRASSING! and he made it hurt and I cried a little! After, the Vice Principal was like ok let's all sit down and she goes "except maybe Lori would rather not sit" like it was funny to her. My Dad says I have to write a letter of apology to the Principal, VP, 4 of my teachers, the librarian and 2 admin assistants and my friend's mom and get each signed and until they're all signed I am grounded. Then he says if he ever has to go there again they are going to suspend me, he is going to spank my butt until it's purple and then send me to military school. THIS REALLY STINKS! WHY IS HE BEING SO HARD ON ME??
