We live in South Florida, and I would have to drive about 30 minutes to drop her off. Should I charge my daughter a small fee for the drive to help her gain responsibility?

My daughter is 3 yrs. old and has been very resistant to potty training. I am already thinking of switching to cloth for my 8 month old son. I am wondering if putting her in cloth diapers might help with getting her to come around to using the potty. I have already tried just putting her in panties and clothes. She treats Pull-ups like diapers, and I can't afford them anyway. I can't handle cleaning up 5-8 accidents a day in her clothes and on my carpet anymore. Did that for about 6 months. I understand that she may just not be ready, and I don't want there to be a big power struggle over it. I also know that this is a tough time for her with her baby brother, and that most regressions occur when the baby is about this age. All I want to do at this point is to kindly put her in a position where she might find using the potty a favorable alternative to going in her pants. Would cloth diapers help in this situation?

A co-worker had his now one year old son circumcised. The doctor said that the original doctor didnt remove enough skin. The doctor then booked another appt to finish the job. My co-worker said his sons penis looks like a "elephant trunk." I told him my son had that same look. But he was a chunky little fart and as he got older and leaner that look went away. So anyhow have anyone else seen this on thier sons?

Also why did you choose to circumcise your son? I did it bc I didnt want him to need it later on. I heard too many stories of guys/boys needed it sone later. I didnt want that to happen to him. Also for cosmetic reasons too I guess. This isnt a question to rile everyone up on how its bad to circumcise your sons. If you want ot vent go ahead. But if you have some answers it would be appreciated.
