I don't know which party the child would be safer with: the mother or the thief. And, yes, most people in the Toronto area are this stupid.

My son smells so bad like a homeless guy he plays video games all night and sleeps all day. That's all he wants to do he doesn't even want to go outside at all.

Apparently there is a girl in my daughter's class (4,5&6) who tells the other children not to play with my daughter and the other kids listen to the little girl. Once the girls leaves for the day, they play with my daughter.

My daughter never really complained, but it was another parent who brought it to our attention. I really don't care if the little girl doesn't want to play with my daughter, but I am concerned about the other kids isolating my daughter b/c someone else tells them to.

I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but I do want to talk to her teacher or the parent about it. Should I just leave it alone? This is a montessori school, so these kids are together until they turn 6 unless they leave the school.

BTW - My daughter is not shy and does not trouble making friends otherwise. In fact, I think this situation bothers me more than it does her.

Texas is about to pass a new law that would make corporal punishment on a child for any reason at home or in school a crime.I have my own beliefs on hitting,spanking a child(or whatever you want to call it).Do you think that Texas should be able to make corporal punishment a crime? Should parents be able to discipline their kids without facing jail time?

I had a pretty good labor and delivery but I was extremely sore and tired afterwards and wanted to recover, My milk came in pretty good at first and there were times when my nursing pads would be soaked if I didnt feed, but I am bottle feeding more and getting lazy on breast...I want to start pumping and nirsing more but I noticed that my milk has slipped off and not as much, if I start again will it come back in with a lot to be able to feed her on it alone and with no formula? How often would I need to pump and nurse???

Aren't these products full of preservatives? I'm a bit worried because Im a working mom and most of the time I stock up on these products to feed my 7 month old boy when I no longer have time to cook for him.

After pre-school, some of the moms let our kids run around in the gym. There are kids of all ages 5 and under (t-class down to infant siblings).

For some reason, my 3 year old son likes to play with the 5 year-olds. (he has a big sis who is 5, but not there in the gym). They like to play super-heroes. Unfortunately, my son is rough with the older boys. He doesn't understand that the older boys grab less hard (stage-"fight") and he has really hurt them.

The older boys understand that "he's little" (it's what their mom's say), but how do I teach my son to play more gently with the older boys.

I'm upset because I overheard one of the older boys say, "Uh-oh...that little guy is here again", but then they invited him to play!?!?!?

Any suggestions as to help teach my son to be more gentle with the older kids?

His teacher says that he's very well-adjusted with kids his own age and he and his siter are great when playing together.

My father is a triplet and I was wondering if my chances of one day having twins or triplets is greater than normal because of that.

I've never officially looked into this because I am not thinking about children right now, I haven't asked my doctors or anything but I was always curious and I thought I'd just ask you fine folks.

She 9 months old.
She eats finger foods, but when I spoon feed her, she tries to grab the spoon ... if I let her take it she'll just play with it, though...
When should I let her try to feed herself, and how can I teach her?

Thanks.
