Re: Any baby wearing parents here?

Wow! Your carrier is beautiful!

Any tips for mei tai wearing? Baby is too big to be in carrier with froggy legs but too small to pull his legs through the side.

June, I don't know much about the situation that led up to the sister being kicked out other than it was something that built over a few years and that MIL and FIL tried to put her in therapy and they almost divorced over it because FIL didn't want to kick her out.

Therapists and psych professionals-is there a term for this?

MIL has three children - DH and two daughters. She has no contact with the eldest daughter (H). Something big went down and the ILs kicked her out when she was 18. No one really knows what happened but MIL pretends H doesn't exist - no photos, refers to only one daughter etc. Recently, MIL has been ...

Ladies, I need to vent here for a minute. The alternative is screaming at my husband. He's generally very engaged and helpful but the whole sleep (or lack of) is his area of weakness.

Re: Full-Size High Chair or Booster Seat

We're going booster seat this time. The footprint of a high chair is just too much for us. Ikea does have some slim ones though.

Re: At what age do you leave your kids home alone?

I left DD home alone for very short stretches at 10 and she came home from school alone starting at 12. I didn't really like that to be honest though. It was more out of necessity and I worked just a few miles from home at the time. My neighbors leave their girls ages 9 and 11 home alone sometimes f...
