In 23 days my kids will wake up expecting that Santa will have visited. Only we are so close to eviction I can't possibly do the Christmas thing. It's horrible, but a roof has to come before Santa. The problem is my children are...

KellieWilson It is probably the terrible two's... I am entering those as well with my youngest. I do time outs with her, but no way is she staying for two minutes. With her level of development and lack of ability to reason things out, it makes no sense to fight for that...

KellieWilson We moved our daughter at about 7 months, but we had a motions alarm under their mattress that would sound if there was no movement/breath for so many seconds. I tested it every day by turning it on when the baby wasn't in the bed or leaving it on when I took...

KellieWilson Unless my youngest is tired the playpen is more of a hassle than its worth. I purchased one of those pens for the yard, it's like an octagon shaped baby gate for outside, but it comes apart and will for how you want it. I use that and section of an area of the...

KellieWilson With both of my daughters I started introducing a sippy cup at about 5 1/2 months. By 6-61/2 months they both were done with the bottle. At a year their doctor asked whether or not they still used a bottle, and was very happy to hear they had already...

If you have a job offer that pays well, but requires you to work 12 hours or more per day, would you take it? What is your thought on working long hours? Many workers in developing countries like to work long hours, since they...

KellieWilson My husband works 12 hours a day, as it is required at his current place of employment. In his last job he also worked 60-70 hours a week, and it takes a toll on a man, but he is more than willing to do it so that our kids are well taken care of. I am beginning...

KellieWilson I was out of shape when I started these, and I thought I would die when I started! One month later I was down 20lbs!!! I also walked daily and started eating healthier, I don't call it a diet because I really did it to change my health. By the end of the 60...

KellieWilson I agree, the purpose behind the conversation is more important that the question itself. That is a very good way to put it. And yes respecting a person does require respecting their beliefs. Thank you for that!

KellieWilson Thank you, I agree whole-heartedly with respect being the key. If the two people are capable of having a respectful conversation without trying to change a persons beliefs or berate them it is great. You can learn a lot about a person this way. And you can...

KellieWilson A child will know when something is wrong. And if you try to fix it and can't, and I do mean try everything, (even professional counseling as a family is a horrible thing to split up) and it still cannot be fixed, then it's time to stand together to lovingly...

KellieWilson Thank you. I have a great fear that her older sister will encourage her to be up running around and playing with her instead of sleeping, but rather than her getting hurt trying to climb out I think I must at least try it. Hopefully I can get them to do as...

KellieWilson Thank you. You'll have to let me know how that goes! I waited til my oldest was almost 3 to get a toddler bed, but she was always content to stay in her crib so it wasn't really an issue. I think I may try to get a toddler bed, the worst thing that could...
