I know, usually it's the other way around, and of course my three year old, does often hurt his little brother, but here lately, my youngest has been hurting his older brother. The other day, the three year old was trying to get...

wmaharper Thank you, at least I know i'm not the first mother to face this issue. It was so surprising to me, as this second one is completely different than his big brother. my first was always so happy and easy going, and my little one is upset most of the time, and...

wmaharper He has gotten some "time outs" in his crib, when he begins to spiral out of control in a temper tantrum, and I have noticed that it is also affective when he misbehaves at the table (throwing food etc.) I will have to try it with the biting. Thanks

wmaharper Thank you for your response. I suppose I was hoping for something that would work easily, and quickly, b/c i would like the behavior to stop immediately, but with him being so young, I think it will just take some time for it to get through to him that it's...

In a moment of desperation a week ago, I called around for some help with my daughter. Being Oppositional, very strong willed and very independant, I often have a hard time getting her to do the simple daily necessities. I was...

wmaharper Yes I agree, the more strong-willed/defiant child will give you more problems, and I think then you kind of have to wait it out and see what works. Some children will notice the rewards, and then throw a fit if they don't recieve one with every good deed,...

After I had my first child, once my period started (baby was 9 months old, b/c I nursed) My period went back to normal. Every 28-30 days, heavy cramping, heavy bleeding, and it lasted about 4 days or so. After my second baby, My...

wmaharper That's amazing that you didn't have a period for 2 years.. wow.. I wonder if my kids had continued to nurse, if my period would have been absent longer, it seems like as soon as they weaned themselves, my period began, although i haven't decided if the period...

wmaharper I have tried some birth control, but it makes me so nauseous, and also, I forget to take it, and I really don't want to be pregnant again yet. (: I never was able to take it consistently, b/c I would forget what time to take it, or where I put it, as I can be...

Does it mean you are a better mother if your 17 month old knows his colors, or if your 2 year old can sing the ABC's? Does it make you feel good about yourself to look down on a mother whose toddler has a tantrum? Do you feel like...
