I would like to hear some uplifting birth stories. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and it seems like birth was just an awful experience for a lot of women. I would like to know what you loved about your labor and/or how it could have been...

Threebeans I had twins c-section at 36 weeks. It was scheduled since they were breech/transverse, and I was scared to death. Nothing to it. I didn't think it was bad at all. My water broke early, and I had contractions on the way to the hospital and a few before they...

I know I am not the only parent with kids who won't eat, but I am just about at my wits end lately. I have almost fifteen month old twin girls who used to eat pretty much anything I gave them, and now the only thing I can get them...

Threebeans Yep they feed themselves for the most part. Except that they take it, and throw it on the floor. Or they put it in their mouth and then take it back out and throw it on the floor. I have tried putting bowls on their trays with food in them, even the suction...

Why You Should Never Lick Envelopes What you don't know, wont hurt you, but this one it sure is worth knowing. I used to work for an envelope company. Our plant supervisor used to work in the Chicago plant and told us not to...

Threebeans Okay I can see some gross water getting into the glue, and many times rat droppings can get into stuff like that, but the cockroach thing is false. Never believe what you read/hear on the internet without checking out snopes.com. Go there (I can't paste) and...

Threebeans Good for you, that is wonderful!!! As a mom with two wee ones not yet old enough for that, I cannot wait for holidays like these! My mother always made Valentine's day special for me and I hope to do the same for my kids. I think you should be so proud of that...

Here in the US, we're creeping up on tax time again. My former husband always handled the taxes in our household. Now that I'm single again, I'm debating whether to use a program like Turbotax or pay a professional tax preparer....

Threebeans When I was single I did them myself, as I just did the 1040EZ, and it was just that, easy. Once I was married and owned a home I used Taxcut software or Turbo Tax. That was with my ex, now my new husband and I have kids as well so we just take all our forms,...

I am looking for advice from people who have truly "been there and done that." My husband and I are having some major problems. We have been married just over a year and a half now. Things were great in the beginning, and now they...

Threebeans Ugh, sounds like you are going through what I did with my ex. I didn't have a child with him though. He never did quit smoking pot, and he is still set in his ways, and these both make me feel so much better about leaving him. I couldn't take it anymore, I...

Threebeans Do they make a multi vitamin for kids under two that isn't a very gross tasting liquid? I tried that too, and in a bottle, or just straight, it wasn't a go. Thank you though!

Threebeans I am going in on March 6th, if not before for a repeat c section. My first was with twins fifteen months ago. I was really nervous the first time around but had confidence in my OB. Baby A was breech and baby b was transverse so that is why we chose c/s. It...

Threebeans This happens to me as well. I have twin girls, fourteen months and when I have to change them, they run away from me. When I catch them they scream until it is over, so yes I consider myself a champion quick changer! What I have noticed with my girls is...

Threebeans Gosh that is a tough one. My kids aren't old enough to say it, but I have twin girls and I am sure I will here it a time or two, and yes it will break my heart. I do know this, I remember saying it to my mom when I was younger, out of pure anger because I...
