ok, so this new Elmo is the hot item. They retailed in stores (now all out of stock) for $39.99. For fun I looked it up on ebay. These suckers are selling for upwards of $100! Is it just me or is this insane? Not just for parents to spend that kind of cash on their kids, but for others taking advantage of people?


Opinions, please!

My wife's sister has been taking this boxing class and she comes over and I let her take body shots on me, because i don't want to get hit in the face. Is my daughter too young to realize we are just play fighting?

like when people say "beck and call" but its really "beckoned call", or when they say "I'd just assume" but they really mean "I'd just as soon"

I think its hilarious... people really should learn what they are saying before they say it.

I have a 12 years old son and my sister has two daughters, 13 and 12 years old, we are single mothers. My sister visited me last Friday. Then she gave me a call that same day; I was already sleeping, and she told me that her older daughter dared my son to touch her sister in the breasts. He touched her and ran! Now her daughter wants to kick him in the nuts; my sister and I agree that is the best thing to do. He sure doesn’t want to be kicked and is really scared, I am not happy about it either, but he must learn to respect women, it is for his own good, and serves him right. My sister is coming to visit me again this Friday.
After he touched her, she tried to kick him but he defended all her kicks, so now I am going to hold him and let her kick him. Do you think he is too young to get this kind of punishment for the first time?
I will post a new question after my sister visits me, to let you know what happened.

My son is now in the 3rd grade. He recieves checks everyday for talking....talking and more talking!! His grades are perfect, but the teacher said that his talking is getting in the way of his education. I have grounded him from his precious playstaion... spanked him, made him stay in his room and read, and made his stay outside afterschool and pull weeds, or other outside work. BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED!! I hate to be so hard on him, because his grades are A & B's but Im up for any suggestions.

To not stop until homework is finished. He/she ate when they got home. They decide about 3/4 hr in to break 4 ice cream. You mention the agreement but aren’t hard-nosed no prob. After the ice cream he/she announces that they're going to iron a certain outfit to wear to school. You say that the outfit is due to go for alterations, reminding them that this was discussed in detail. He/she gets an attitude and announces that they WILL go iron the outfit and will wear it. 20 minutes later they return and impatiently announce “I’m finished. Come and finish my homework with me.” Do you go do the homework and mention nothing of what just occurred? I mean the kid is doing homework and ironing their clothes…how can you be angry? State that while they were doing as they were NOT told you got busy with something else and will tell them when YOU are ready not vice versa or something else? Father says "No family/couples counseling and don't call me about my kids." Mother out of the USA. Input?

Me and my husband have 3 children (2 girls and a boy). We've worked out schedules at the hospital so 3 days a week I'm there in the mornings, and my husband is there 2 other days with them. (we have sundays off) So anyways, my husband has been really stressed these last few weeks as our oldest, Hollace who is 3, hasn't been listening to him. She'll ignore him when he tries to get her to get ready, she won't eat breakfast and she won't get in the car when he takes the kids to preschool. She's perfect when I'm around, though. What should I do?

Husband and I have custody of 10 y.o. step daughter and her several brothers. I have no bio kids/it's my 1st marriage. She’s always been self-conscious about her hair. Her hair was damaged, unruly & very dry so it was easier on me as well if I agreed to help out w/it. Within a few months she had a head full of much longer, healthier, softer hair, that she loved touching/looking at. She thanked me repeatedly. The bad news: She’s always been very headstrong, stubborn & mouthy. Recently she’s decided that SHE will style her hair with whatever of my products she wants, anytime she wants & anyway. Once I told her not to wash her very dry hair again that day b/c it was becoming overwashed/overstyled & damaged! She found a color stripping shampoo under the bed, damaged her hair badly. Happened again today. Cld husband: "Don't bother me with any of it. I don't care." His usual reply regarding how I should handle any of the problems/issues of HIS FIVE KIDS. Realistic suggestions please?

It's my 2nd baby. My first was a breeze. He's 8 months old and today I'm sleep deprived and on edge. I can't leave the room w/out him crying. It just took over a hour to get him to nap. I wont give him any numbing gels for his mouth. It's just not my thing. I do give him Tylonal though. I just need other moms advice on how to deal a little bit better.

My mom says that anybody who uses Yahoo Answers during the daytime is either a stay-at-home mom or on welfare, or both. I'm a very young boy, so I don't know, but I have this theory that some people have computers at work.

What do you think?
