Why is that so many people come on here looking for attention, asking stupid questions, like can I feed my dead cat to my kids, and we stoop to their level and give them the attention they are looking for? It seizes to amaze me, just for 2 points, that people spend time answering these stupid questions where there are other great questions that others are asking. I just think when someone asks a stupid question, just ignore it. They will continue to ask stupid questions if they know they can get a rise out of people.

He weights 7lb. 5 oz. I am not sure if it is not too early... Also, do you think I can take him for a walk {either in baby bjorn or the carriage} when it is only about 20°F?

Well at least that is what she said.lol She is 2.5. I was emptying the ddishwasher and she said "Hey mommy! You spit on me!" I looked at her confused for a second. Then I realized what had happened so I told her "No babe It is water dripping off the dishes, see?" I showed her but she still claimed "No mummy I saw you." LOL

We contcated the Hospital and they asked us to come to the hospital. They monitored the baby heart reate. Nurse was having trouble in getting clear heart rate. But she finally got the heart rate and she started monitoring that. Earlier the heart rate was between 130-165. But now it was not crossing 125. She monitored for half an hour and then took the blood pressure. She said everything is normal and asked her to come back again next day. I am little bit worried now as its been 6 hours after the hospital visit and baby has not moved yet. Although we are going to the hospitale tomorrow again, but could someone please advise.

my son will be turning 18 months and he always uses a bottle for nap time and when he goes to bed at night. It is the only way he will sleep. I tried during the day to give him milk in a sippy cup but he refuses to drink it. He drinks Juice and water out of a sippy cup but not milk. I would like him to have his milk in a sippy cup and before he goes to bed. what do i do?? do i just let him cry in bed till he falls asleep without his milk??/

I know that this isn't the etiquette forum but I just wanted some parents opinions....

My son will be celebrating his 1st birthday next month and I would like to put gift suggestions on his invitations, ie. Elliot wears size 18 months and needs spring and summer clothes. Also, we'd prefer toys toys that encourage creativity and learning like blocks, puzzles and pretend household items....not in those exact words. Partially I am being selfish by trying to save money on clothes and I feel like he has enough toys already, but on the other hand I'm trying to nurture his creative side by suggesting toys that I feel would be beneficial. I just don't want him to have a ton of talking, battery operated toys, he got enough of those for Christmas. My sister does this on her invitations because in our family we are all about helping one another but just thinking about it, I can hear my in-laws talking about me. So, any suggestions?
