She is 6 years old. Hes getting married at the jp so its not a real big deal. I asked her and she said that she was sad because she liked it when he and i were together( we split up 2 years ago)and she was confused. But she says she wants to go. I just dont want her to feel like a third wheel( I think a few other ppl are going too tho). Please help

he got a part time job at an ambulance station. then quit his full time job and made his part time a full time. then he got another full time job doing the same thing in a town an hour away. usually he has to stay at the stations all day and all night for 2 or 3 days so he isnt around much. i miss him. last time he was home he took my sister and i to the mall and got us stuff. this weekend he'll be home and mom said he's gonna take us shopping again. it's cool that we now have more money cuz of his 2 fulltime jobs and my mom's full time job and that he gets us stuff when he is home. im happy that he likes his new jobs but i know he misses us but i feel guilty when he gets us stuff (even though we didn't do anything to deserve it) just cuz he feels guilty that he's not around. im used to having to deserve the things they get me so i dont like things handed to me on a silver plate. dont get me wrong, im greatful for the things he gets us. what do i do

DO you walk away? offer advice? or report her to the children and families department? What do YOU do in these types of situations?

Anytime the kids get sick with the flu, my poor husband ends up cleaning the vomit off the floor, bathroom, toliet etc. because I can't stomach it. What can I do to get past that?? I really can't stomach it, and I feel that I should be sharing in this duty.

My 6 year old daughter has been going to my friends when I work. she has 3 other kids, plus my 9 year old girl. Anyway, my 6 year old cries and says she doesnt want to go because she says her 5 years old daughter is mean to her. I dont know if I think this is a reason to stop taking her. They play fine together otherwise. I think they are both to much alike and stubborn so they fight a lot. P. S. my daughter has never liked me working and having to go to any sitter, unless its my mom. what would you suggest.

For those of you who went the route of cloth diapers for your children, what did your cloth diaper layette consist of?

Here's an overview of what I had for my first baby when I was starting out.

4 dozen standard flat cloth diapers. (Great for burping too).
8 pairs of rubber pants. (Pull-on style).
6 sets of diaper pins.
1 diaper pail.
A dozen baby wash cloths.
1 box of flushable diaper liners. (Great for those new baby meconium poops).

As time went by and as I needed certain things, I just went out and bought them. Hard to believe I'm on baby #3 and still using cloth diapers. Shame on everyone who told me I wouldn't be able to make it with cloth diapering.

My daughter turned 2 in February. She asks to sit on her potty ocasionally but never does anything. She comes to me and asks to be changed when she poops, so I know she recognizes a dirty diaper. What can I do to get her to actually use the potty? Also she will not give up the pacifier. I have taken it away but always cave in when she crys and asks for it. If she doesnt have it at night she screams and keeps my two sons, who share her room, awake. Help!!! Please only advice from moms.
