As I was putting on my bra this morning my 3 year old asked me what it was. I told her it was a bra. She said that she wanted one. I told her that she can wear a bra when her breasts get big like mommies. She said, "but Mommy, your breasts are little". Nice kid, huh. She promptly made up for it by telling me that my stomach is little, too.........(which is isn't!!!).

What funny things have your kids said or done lately?

my daughter keeps taking out one of her shoe whenever we go out, i really don't understand whats wrong with her shoes because as soon a syou make her sit in the child seat she'll tae out one of her shoe and will start pulling her socks out.i have tried telling her its bad manners and she won't be able to go out with us otherwise, i've hit her once or twice when i get frustarted with this antic because nomatter how many times you make her wear those shoes she just immediately pulls them out. i've lost some 4 pairs in last one week believe me because even outside the house she'll just pull them and throw. i was thinking it might be hurting her feet but how can 7 pair all hurt her . showed it to the doc and she laughed, but it's kinda turning expenisive and she's just 20 months but this act is really trying my patience now.

My little girl is 22 months old and weighs 23 pounds. I currently have her on a (almost) gluten-free diet, which keeps her from having diahrrea- and she is gaining weight again. She seems to also have a belly bigger than I recall my son having at this age and sometimes it is bigger than others. I'm sure it's partly the normal potbelly that toddlers seem to have, but it's sometimes so big that her innie belly button starts to poke outward! It's big, taut, and almost feels like a balloon made of skin and muscle.

Am I overreacting, or should I tell this to the next doctor I see? How big is the "normal toddler potbelly", anyway?

my 4 year old daughter is throwing tantrums. She is almost 5. The tantrums could happen at any moment for almost any reason. It gets to the point where she will literally rip her hair out or hurt her younger brother, she has even spit on me. I have tried everything that I can possibly think of to get her to stop, has anyone had the same experience, does anyone have any suggestions? We have tested her for autism which we were told she did not have but no one else seems to have answers as to why she acts like this.

I fear that I have tried it all! We have an 8,5,3,and 18 m/o, who refuse to eat breakfast! I have tried fortified milkshakes, eggs, pancakes, waffles, french toast,fruit,ham,grits- virtually everything. Sometimes they will eat dry cereal, or a waffle, but I feel so guilty sending them to school with nothing, or next to nothing in their tummies. Plus, we only have dinner as a family a couple of nights each week, so our family breakfasts are important to me. I would not be too concerned, except I knw that they dont eat much lunch at school due to their friends being there, and they would rather play. Should I let them eat dinner food for breakfast, if that is something they will eat? Any suggestions on healthy foods that they might like fr breakfast?
Thanks everyone.

My son is 2 1/2 and I want to start potty training him after the first of the year. The thing is he is my first boy (i have 2 daughters) and i'm not quite sure what the best way to potty train him is. Do I sit him down or stand him up? Any help would be appreciated.

He's 2 yrs old
I tell him we're going to so and so's house "NO, it's too late, it's getting dark" (it's like 12:00 in the after noon)
I say, Daddy's coming home soon! Yay! "NO, he's not!"
I say here's your pasta "NO, it's not pasta!"
I tell him you have to put on your shoes, we're leaving - "NO, we're not leaving"
or just plain old NO when I tell him to stop doing this or that. Even when I am nice and say it in a non-bossy way.

I am fed up! it may sound rude but my 2 1/2 year old is not progressing w/ potty. It bothers me that she can use it, knows how to say pot, toilet, bathroom, boo boo& pee pee. last night right after getting off the potty into the tub, she boobood & peed in the tub!!! Whats fustrating is:
1)introduced potty at age 1

2)has a routine> uses 1st thing in morning, after eating,drinking

3)no drinks after 7pm

4)tried books on potty, tv on potty, eat on potty

5)go with her

) she will sit in a soaked/booboo pullup and not say anything until i make her go

6)reward her, throw potty parades( march around & clap when she uses it)

6)u name it, all advice from family since in our family she is "late"
what makes me upset is that i am expecting, she will be 3 soon, she speaks well and asks for food, juice etc. doesn't ask for potty. I know some say at this age give her time, but i need advice because I feel like i have tried so much, what else can i do when i feel this fustrated a

My son is not really "bad", he's almost three years old so how bad could he be, he is just very difficult and I feel guilty taking him to people's houses. He screams, bangs on their TVs, throws thigs and breaks them sometimes, just everything to destroy their home practically. My realtives keep telling me it's ok and this is how children are but I know they feel relieved when I leave. A lot of times I just leaves abruptly because I can't take it anymore ( I have a newborn too so it is even harder). When will this change? Does anyone else feel this way? Is it wrong for me to stay home because of him, I'm just waiting for this phase to pass. Don't tell me to spank him, I'll twist his ear if he's really bad but I don't hit him, once or twice I have in the past, and I try time out all the time.

at eighteen months thats too soon, too young and too cold outside to rush here and there. the child is hypercative and playful enough. I would think more educational stuff like an ABC, 123 class would be more appropraite.
the child may grow up disliking gym.

He goes to the toilet at school but refuses to go at home or when we are out. He will hold it until i put a nappy on. I tell him that he is a big boy now, his response is "no i not a big boy, i am a baby" I am a single mom with no other children. He gets all my love and attention. When people are around he sometimes talks like a small baby when he can talk properly, what should i do?
