I am too Elizabeth! My in-laws are the best!

My Mother in law just does not care about anyone but herself. We(my husband and I) just sit back and laugh at the things she says and does. We try to make nice, but she is just unbelievable.

Probably doesn't help that the new South Park Xbox game revolves around eliminating G-inger kids, hippies, and old people.

Parents need to make sure that their kids are supervised at the store.I've seen way too many parents buy a game and then hand it to their kids, or don't take it off their kids after they buy the games themselves.

I was put on complete bed rest for pre-eclampsia for the last two months of my pregnancy. First thing is to STOP READING what you find about it. You live in the western world and chances are your child will be delivered safely. I stopped reading development books, and focused on spending the last few months of my pregnancy with my husband. It is hard not to worry, but I found worrying made it that much worse.

I had a high risk pregnancy because I wa 44 years old. I had every test they could think of but everything came back normal. At 20 weeks I was put in the hospital with bleeding from placenta previa. I was on complete bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. I went into labor and delevered my beautiful baby boy when I was 32 weeks. He had no health ... See Moreproblems other than refusing to take a bottle.He came home 3 weeks after he was born and is doing great now. I was given steriod shots a week before I had him. If your doctor recommends these 2 shots GET THEM they made all the difference for my babies lung development. He joins his 21 and 19 year old sisters and my 15 month old grandaughter (his neice)

Are these only the Fisher Price cribs or all of the drop-side cribs? I have a drop-side crib from Graco. Is this one recalled too? Please answer.

I checked this out months ago and I LOVE IT!!!! How fun!

34 year old mom of two here and I love it as well. I was there at midnight Thursday night with 4 of my 30-something twi-hard friends, all in our Twi-themed t-shirts. We had a blast! New Moon was awesome - way better than Twilight - IMO. I'll be going back tomorrow with my 13 year old daughter. :)

jenn - way to go! :)
"part of the childhood experience"??? what on earth kind of excuse is that? its part of the childhood experience to be terrified out of your mind while your parents watch and do nothing and maybe even laugh ? its part of the childhood experience to find out that your parents dont care if something scares you?

im sorry, but i dont consider any childhood experiences to be about santa or being forced to sit in his lap. in fact, i dont recall Christmas being about santa. sure its cute and all, but how cute is a picture where your child is terrified? doesnt that do anything to your heart?? that photo hurts ME. why doesnt it hurt the parent of that child? wheres the sympathy? wheres the empathy? wheres the care and the love for our children?

no, instead lets submit them to terror and fear. it may seem silly to you, but to a kid its horrifying. how insensitive.

NOW : i didnt say dont TRY. sure. go ahead and TRY. thats no problem. some kids are more curious, interested, and just fine with it. nothing wrong with that.
what im saying is if your kid is adamantly against it, and you will know that before they are sitting on santa's lap, dont force them into it. dont you think that breaks trust between you and your child? to force them into something they find scary? like i said, NOT COOL

our schools are having to teach empathy to kids.
this is a great example of why kids dont have empathy anymore. we dont show it to them, they cant learn it.

cater it.

ha ha i like the catering idea!
