Toddler & Preschooler - August 2006

I catch my 1.5 year old son sneaking into my kitchen and eating my daughter's powdered forumula like it's a cookie jar. I have tried disciplineing him about it, but it doesn't seem to work. (Yes I put it up where I think he won't be able to reach it, but he goes through an extra effort to get it still.)
I think the first logical step is to figure out why he likely has this fascination with it. Any ideas? Or ideas of how I can get him to stop?

I overheard my folks talking to other parents. Why couldn't my baby story be about me pissing on the old man when he was changing my diaper? I wonder how many people they told? Bloody hell, no wonder none of their friends ever introduce me to their leggy daughters (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Would you introduce your daughter to the village idiot? When I finally confronted the parental units moms looked like a deer caught in headlights and daddo just raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

Children will be children is the wrong response. I went to a kids movie with my children. The people sitting behind us allowed their BRATS to hold onto the backs of our chairs, which pulled our hair, hum into their straws, which were directly behind my head, fight with each other, kick the chair and talk for the ENTIRE movie. All the parents said was "now Shaaaawwwwn...." with a little "please tone" which did NOTHING to resolve the situation. People- have your children behave or get a sitter. Period. We go out to eat to enjoy ourselves. My kids would have ONE chance to behave this way- and they would NEVER go out again. Going to dinner is a luxury, not a given for some people. Leave the brats at home. Screaming, yelling, running, throwings fits or food- NOT CUTE. I don't want to be seated in smoking OR WHINING. Go to chuck e. cheese with all the other ill behaved monsters. I ALSO THINK ITS STUPID WHEN THEY SING STUPID LITTLE SONGS TO THEMSELFS!

I have a 4.5 yr old son who is intense and has been hell to deal with since birth. He witholds his stools STILL, is on stool softeners, and now exhibiting signs of Conduct Disorder, talking back to me/teachers, hitting, being bossy to other children. Also have a 22 month old daughter who is a joy, but have to watch him like a hawk around her because he is rarely nice. I used to have a respected career, now I'm a lowly stay-at-home who's never worked so hard!! Mom says I'm not cut out for having kids (thanks MOM!). We just moved to the boonies - all we could afford; doctors said I'm a saint for trying so hard to help him. No success getting an appt with neurologist. Nurse prescribed Anti-depressants; made him completely out-of-control; meds are out of question. I am COMPLETELY exhausted and have all kinds of physical problems. I take meds for deprssion, ADD, you name it. I feel isolated and don't have patience anymore to deal with him. I've tried everything under the sun!

My 13 month old son doesn't say a word. But my 15 month old neice does. When people hear that he doesn't talk they kind of give me funny looks. He just got a frenulectomy last month which I thought was part to blame. But, now I am not sure...

she drives me crazy outside. She always starts crying before i even enter a place. she starts saying i want candy or something. I dont give in to her or anything . I would tell her if she stays good until I am done she would get something but if u start crying then she could forget about it. But she still keeps crying even if I dont give her anything any suggestions.

This is a followup to my previou question. I babysit for a family with two kids who are very temperamental and do not cooperate. The house is chaotic, the children are bad, i dont like them and the father just recently made a racist-type remark towards me.. I babysit for them for 10 hours a day for $100- $150 a week. (thats like $2.30 an hour with these two children.. Not enough money for me to stay with them all day!!! How can i nicely break it to the parents that i dont want to sit for them anymore? or that perhaps they need to stat finding a new sitter? How do i quit this job without it turning bad?!?!?! Thank you for any help.
