Honey I suckled the kids? If so what did you think of attachment parenting, I found myself ranting at the TV at their naivety.

Ok, I have a 2 year old son and an 8 mo. old girl. When my son throws a fit at home I can't help but get very uptight and frustrated with him. But, today when we were at the dr's for his 2 yr. checkup, I couldn't help but laugh at him when he was throwing a fit and laying on the floor. A month ago, we went to an amusement park and I put him on a kiddie ride. He sat there and cried the whole time, and I was standing there laughing at him. Not like a hystarical laugh, but I was definately chuckeling. People must think I'm a horrible parent! Does anyone else have experience with this? Am I just venting or something by laughing?, is it good that I laugh at him when he gets angry sometimes? When I'm referring to him being angry, it's because he did not want to be at the dr's office... NOT because he didn't get his way with something. (other then wanting to leave)

I am a single mom to a two y.o. This was an unplanned pregnancy and the father is not involved at all. My dilemna is that I need a break and I have no one to help me. My parents live out of state and I don't have girlfriends that I can ask to watch the baby. I really can't afford a babysitter either and then I have a roommate so a babysitter might feel awkward in that situation anyway. My child is a typical 2 y.o. (I think) and can really wear me down with all the crying and screaming and whining. Any clue as to what I can or should do to relieve stress?

When I talk to other moms they say they limit they're children TV watching to only 1 hour a day. Now I live in area where it rains half of the year or is cold or too hot. There are maybe all together 3-4 months you can actually go out and play. Sometimes I wonder if these mothers are being actually honest or maybe lose track of time. I mean I interact with my child quite a bit through out the day and he even plays outside for a few hours but I can never get him to watch less than 2 hours (sometimes up to 4-5 hours). He has the TV on a lot but he doesn't actually sit right in front of it staring at it he plays with his toys and every few minutes looks up to see what's going on. He's 2 1/2.

I babysit my 2 1/2 year old grandson. He started out telling us when he had to go potty. That was when we started. But now all the sudden it is a battle. He has reverted back to wanting a diaper. This morning it was a 15 minute cry-fest that almost put me into tears as well. I feel like I am pushing too hard. Any ideas?

I called the doctor's office first thing this morning and they think it sounds like a virus and maybe a touch of food poisoning but I don't know. They don't want me to bring him in unless he gets worse and they'll call me back periodically through the day but, we ate at Chili's last night and both my husband and myself got sick after we got home. And our son ate what we ate. He threw up during the night and some this morning and he is exhausted . He is usally full of energy and hates to sleep didn't know if anyone else had that experience.

Hi,
I had my baby in Florida, i had problem during pregnancy that doctors found out later, then i think a lot of things during my delivary went wrong, but i didn't know, because i was young, and a single mother, and the medicaid paid everything, so i suspect that they knew that know one would follow them anyway, i had a baby boy, who had a problem with the suck and swallow coordination, they kept him at the nursery for a week then discharged him, telling me that the baby is normal, then i went to his pediatritian, for like five visits and i kept saying that the baby cries a lot, but she said that's normal, anyway on my last visit, i told his perdiatritian, if it's ok to fly with him, because i wanted to go overseas, his father wanted to see him, i thought maybe we would get married after he sees his son and everything, so she said it's ok. and at his 40 days of age i flew to his dad, then the baby started to grow up, and we began to notice that he dosen't follow objects and then he

Ok, so I arrived at his pre-school to pick my son up, yet they hadn't gotten out yet (it's a vertical kindergarten class, the older ones get out thirty mins. later than the rest) So I sat down with a grandmother and her grandson, who is my son's classmate.(they were waiting for their ride) I was smiling at him ,and he looked up at me and said "who are you? you're so ugly and you're a weirdo!" I was so utterly surprised by his dilinquent behavior, and I expected the grandmother to do something about it! She just sat there and said, "Oh Aaron, I don't think so" I was stunned! I looked at him and said "you're mean. you shouldn't do that to your classmates." and his grandmother just sat there! He said "I know I say bad words, but I'm gonna say them every day if I want to!" His granny said "well at least you know it's bad" O my gosh! and then he went around the waiting area pushing the younger kids (babies) into the walls and taking their toys from them! What would you have said/done?

My kid is turning 3 this nov and I find that he is getting more and more bored and I am desperate to indulge him in something useful and stimulate his over all development. He watches rhymes and tries to say it back but his speech isnt clear yet. He can only say words but not make any sentences. Otherwise he is a pretty normal kid who has reached all his milestones by now, he can say all the alphabets and numbers upto 10 and is potty trained too. He perfectly understands everything we say but his speech part is one thing that is not clear yet. Please guide me thro this and let me know how I can make him communicate effectively. Thank u so much in advance.

My son is 22 months old and has been throwing bad tantrums for about 2 months now. It used to be that when we told him no, to not touch the fan he would get upset, not touch the fan and just back-up away from it. We just moved Aug 1st. Now even though the fan is still sitting on his toy box just as it always was at our old place he goes to it just like a magnet, pushing all the buttons and sticking his fingers in the cage of the fan. The fan is not the only problem, he flips out for seemingly no reason or simply because he doesn't get his own way. We live in a townhouse now and the parking lot for our row is very close to our place, we tried taking him for a walk on a safety harness tonight before his bath and he kept trying to step off the sidewalk into the parking lot. I don't want him thinking that it is okay to play wherever least of all a parking lot. I tried last night to control a tantrum and it just got worse, I got slapped in the face and he screamed and thrashed harder.

I have many, many scrapbooks of him that I made, from since he was a baby until now. And since school is part of my child's life, of course I include pics of him at school, in his scrapbooks. I've always done this! But this morning, his kindergarten school wouldn't let me! (this is a new school, since he's now in kindergarten) I got kind of upset, because, this is the same school that signed up with a t.v. show for them to film inside the classroom! So it's just stupid that parents can't take pictures, but a camera crew can invade the classroom! I'd like to know the opinions of other parents. Would you get upset, like I did?

I am about to switch from infant to a convertible car seat. I'd like to buy only one convertible car seat (with detachable base, e.g. Britax Boulevard) and at least 3 bases (for myself, my wife's car, and grandparents' car)-just like I do with my current Graco Snugride. I was unable to find a base for convertible seat which can be sold separately, at least online. Is this solution possible at all? If yes, would appreciate if someone shares.
