Some people use it to cure tummy aches. I don't know how, but I've heard of people giving this to their babies.

Gwenyth Lindsay Anders (We want to call her Gwen and we are set on the 'en' spelling as apposed to 'yn' so we misspelled Gwyneth)

Sara Genevieve Anders (We love the name 'Sadie', but we had a hard time imagining a very successful adult with the name Sadie so we wanted it to be a nickname. We took the H off because that is the way my mother-in-law's name is spelled)

These names aren't completely set in stone, but as of now, we love them. I just wanted opinions...

Thanks in advance,
Claudia

my 2 year old is into everything. i know-typical 2 year old. i know he is just testing me, but some days i can't control myself and have yelled at him, and then feel terrible afterward. i would like advice on how you handle when your child dumps water all over the bathroom floor, takes his diaper off and pees on the carpet, dumps all his dinner on the floor, etc. He is disciplined and gets time out. i also try and talk to him when he does these things to tell him they are wrong. i just sometimes think he knows better, but some days he gets the best of me. i hate yelling, but sometimes it just happens....any advice?????

My son is 3 1/2 months old and he typically goes to bed at 9pm, gets up for feedings at 2am, 5am, and then typically wakes up around 7:30am for the rest of the day. I am breastfeeding him exclusively. I was just wondering how long it takes for a child to sleep through the night. I know it is different for every child, but my doctor said he should be sleeping through the night already. I was just wondering if you have any tips for me and my husband to try so that our son sleeps longer stretches at night.

Thank you!

There are three people that I know right off the top of my head who do not discipline their children (they are all young children ages 2 to 7) and their homes are a complete disaster area. Clothes everywhere, food on the floors, toys all over the place, crayon and marker on the walls, etc. The furniture is filthy and worn out. The kids jump off the furniture, stand on top of it, slam doors, go in and out of the refrigerator, etc. Just total chaos.

It just goes to show that if parents allow their children to misbehave and rule them, then the children usually end up terrorizing the home as well. Has anybody else noticed this? Why do some people let their children run ragged like this?

Not all but often enough i see non-spankers say that spankins is illegal. Where did you get the idea that it is illegal? There is no law saying that spanking is illegal!

I live is Southern Cali and have 3 elementary kids.
I walk them to and from school, less then a 5 min walk for us.
I get up brush my hair- not always teeth( ruins the coffee), and dressed.
I see alot of Moms and Dads walk their kids up wearing PJ's ,slippers, and yes even robes.
I am not much of a morning person but some even pick them up, in the afternoon wearing the same outfit.
Imagine the embarrassment of the kids.
Please tell me what you look like dropping your kids off at daycare/school.........

Just wondering from anyone who knows how old is a baby when you can notice if they have naturally curly hair or not?

Can most people tell right away or does it come as the baby is a little older? Just wondering, thanks ;)

...boy's names starting with the letter B.
Any name is fine, but I prefer something a bit unique, rather than names like (ex. Billy, Bobby, Ben...etc)

Thanks in advance!

My six year old son came home last week, asking the question, "How do people get cancer?"
I was quite surprised... but he told me they were doing the Terry Fox Run, so I assumed their teacher told them a bit about cancer so they understood why they were doing the run.

I asked what he was told, and this is what I got...

His teacher told him that when kids chew & swallow bubble gum, it gets stuck to their bones, organs & heart.. and thats how people get cancer.!

I was dumbfounded at this answer (For all the people out there who believe this ridiculous wives tale.. it's COMPLETELY false.. with scientific studies proving the falsehood).

I explained to him (in 6yr old language) how the digestive system REALLY works, and it's impossible for gum to stick to anything... and that no one really knows how people get cancer (Lifestyle, smoking etc. can contribute, but no one knows for sure etc.)

I'm calling the teacher tomorrow to discuss this... what would you say?
