ShawnsBidness No one has the right to beat anyone else unless it is in an act of self defense. Thank you for coming to her aid. That was the right thing to do. I do hope that you called the police despite what she said. I would have. She may have been doing that in fear...

ShawnsBidness I hate waking up early. I always have and always will. I'm a night owl and if I had my way, I'd sleep until noon and stay up until 4 AM every day. I'm a mom though and have to be up early. No choice in the matter now. But, when she's old enough, I'll be doing...

ShawnsBidness Have you had her hearing checked? Has she been examined by a doctor? If not, I'd try that first. Then if it's a behavior issue, you can work with her by speaking softly to her, keeping her away from yelling, being sure that your house is quiet and surrounding...

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 18 May 09
