My daughter has a small tear in her anus, and her poo is apparently too solid, which makes her tear even worse everytime she goes. Because of this, I can't get her clean, she's dry, but refuses to poo in the toilet. She's already on Lactulose in mornings and Senna at night, has anyone got any suggestions that may help. Sticker charts don't work, I've tried sitting next to her, and warm baths help, but as soon as I put her on the toilet, she stops herself and starts crying. It's not a tantrum, she is truly upset.

I breast fed my daughter until she was a year old (then switched to whole milk) but ever since I weaned her from the breast she will stick her hand down my shirt and play with my nipple. She usually only does it when she's upset, sick, or ready for a nap or bedtime. I think she does it for comfort (remindes her of when she breast fed). But its kinda embarassing when she does it in public but she will cry (poke out her bottom lip and the tears will start flowing, cute & sad @ the same time lol) and stick it right back in there. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to break her from this??
(BTW she also will do it to both grandmas & a couple of my friends & even her daddy lol) Thanks!

They irritate me!!! My 4 year old son has a cold...for crying out loud kids get colds. She wants me to drug him!! And take him to the doctor so I can get more drugs to dope him up. For what? He's fine. He's still running around and playing. He doesn't have a fever. He has a runny nose and a cough. He's not coughing up a lung or anything but she wants to give him cough medicine. How do I politely and tactfully tell her to leave us alone and not to drug my kid?

Please help me! It was a prank and I didn't mean it...

I snuck into our church's toddler room and took all of the diapering supplies from underneath the changing station. I took them home and don't know what to do with them...

It was a prank, but am worried about my parents finding them. What do I say if they find them? I have like fifty pounds of diapers, wipes, changing mats, pacifiers, and something that looks like a large blue diaper.

Will the church notice? Will they find out it was me?

I'm going to a neighbor's house tonight to babysit their child. The problem is, the kid runs crazy. He's okay around his parents, but when they're not home, he throws a fit. He's almost 5 but he still will throw himself on the ground and scream or he will run around the house destroying everything. The last time I was over there, I was doing my AP Biology homework and he was watching TV and he noticed that I was doing something he wasn't. He got mad, came over, and ripped 3 pages out of my book (it cost $112!) and started beating on the keyboard (I was typing an essay), demanding that he wanted to play on MY computer. When I told him no, he started shrieking like a banshee and ran around his house trying to break everything. When his parents got home, I told them what happened and they didn't care. They said that he was just expressing himself and wouldn't punish him or offer to help me replace my textbook. The only reason I'm babysitting again is because I need the money. (continued)

Recently a friend of mine came back from a trip to another state that he took with his sister, her husband, and their 2 girls. One is about 11 and the other 14. They stayed in a motel that had 2 beds, and was not allowed a cot or other sleeping furniture because they said the motel had a 4 room occupancy limit. The parents slept in one bed with the 11 year old and the 14 year old girl slept in the other bed with her uncle, my friend. He is about 50 years old. I acted shocked at this information and he said it was fine, the first night him, his sister, and the 11 year old slept in one bed, the husband in the other, but the 3 of them made it too hot and crowded, so the next night they adjusted to the sleeping arrangement I have disclosed. His sister is very nice and a Christian, so I suppose she trusts her 50 year old brother, but I find this disturbing. He talks about this girl quite alot , taking her picture constantly. Am I silly to think bad of that situation?

My three year old son has decided to drop his naps for the past 6 months. It is really affecting his behavior but I don't know how to get a child who refuses to nap to do so. Would love him to have a short afternoon nap when his baby sister does. I could get a recharge.

I asked this question last week, & we give her toys to chew on, & she gets a thrill out of biting people so hard that they bleed. She bit me like 4 times just now. I almost cried. She bit my friend (her aunt), & broke her skin & made her bleed. Help! This baby is a possessed devil.

The baby eats NON-STOP if her 17-y/o mom lets her. My friend is 29, & I'm 24. The baby's mom feeds her nothing but fast food, like Jack in the Box, McDonald's, etc. The baby likes to bite & eat. & when she can't bite or TRY to eat YOU, she falls out & throws a huge fit, like as if someone was abusing her.

My daughter has a 12" deluxe animal cushion. Copyright 2005 by Angel Toy Corp. It has T.W.I.E S. San Francisco CA on it.

It is a rich turqouise colored pillow with a black and white panda bear taking up most of the front. The panda is raised, facing the left.

We purchased it at Walgreens almost a year ago. But, as recently as 3 weeks ago, they were still in stock - along with several other designs.

Now, they are nowhere to be found. I have been to at least 10 Walgreens around our city and not one store is carrying that style of pillow. (We also have a cat pillow and bunny pillow of the same style.)

Do you have any idea where or who I can contact to buy another Panda pillow? My daughter asked me more than 6 months ago to get one for her best friend for Christmas. Of course, I put it off.....

Thanks for helping!

I feel bad when putting her to bed without her eating, but I can't get on to her anymore for not eating. She is never hungry and her mom thinks I never feed her because she tells her she hasn't eaten.

Last night my 2 year old went to bed about 10pm(ususal bedtime is 8:30-9:00pm) and woke up at 4am, stayed awake until about 6am (stayed in bed). I woke him up at 7am for daycare. While I was at work I got a call from the daycare and the sitter said my son was running a temp and he seems to be "out of it". She said it was like he just shut down, would not respond to her and very cranky. She said he reminded her of a person with Diabetes who need their meds and suggested that I take him to the hospital immediately.
He was not feverish when I picked him up so I took him home to monitor him. Before we could get home he was sleep and has been sleep for 2 hours already. I am going to take him to see his Dr. tomorrow, But my question is has anyone ever notice strange change in their child behavior from lack of sleep. Please comment and tell me what you think, seriously please.

I have a 19 month old son and just gave birth three weeks ago to a little girl. My son's behavior has gotten to be a problem. He isn't listening and throws things at me. He also is getting into things he know he shouldn't and smiles when I say no. He seems to listen to my husband only, but that's only once in a while. What do I do? Is this normal for a jealous child?
