garnet80 Yeah taking an asprin before bed and a full glass of water is a great idea. When I was younger a friends Mum always told us to do that to help with hangovers in the morning. Pretty much everytime we woke up fine. I don't drink very much if I drink it's usually...

Does anyone have any ideas on what to cook for a almost 3 year old who is quite fussy when it comes to food. Some days he wants to eat and other days not. Lately all he's wanted is cheese with jam on it. It's great that he's...

garnet80 Some days he eats when I want him to but most he just seems to dance to his own tune so to speak. Even if I make dinner earlier he still tries to eat crackers or cheese before dinner or just refuses tea. Sometimes saying eat this before you can do this works...

garnet80 I'll give the cookie cutter idea a try. What makes things harder is when you find something he likes and it works for awhile and then he decides he doesn't like it any more. He has an iron deficiency so I can't help but worry.

garnet80 I do have to book him in for a dentist appointment. I have been slack and holding off as the dentist is so pricey. When my next child support comes in I'm going to take him then.

garnet80 There's nothing wrong with making it a game and we do have many different games to play. He used to be great at brushing his teeth but then stopped. My ex husband says he has no trouble with teeth brushing just with the hair washing whereas my problem is the...

garnet80 Yes I have tried brushing my teeth with him and even letting him try to brush my teeth as well. Lol he does like to go potty when I go which I think is cute. He's done pretty well in that department and used to be not to bad with brushing his teeth. I have a...

garnet80 It wasn't so much that I felt bad because she took the ice-cream it was the fact that she also took the bowl and a spoon to eat it with. Looking back now I laugh. But yes it is a big restaurant chain and it probably happens all the time.

garnet80 To be honest I don't know what I would do. I guess the best way would be to follow your heart. You both need to sit down and have a talk about what you both want and what the future holds. To be talking baby talk he must really want to be with you. But if he...

garnet80 That does seem a bit rough. Now a days if someone saw them do that they would be reported for child abuse wouldn't they. And they say not to stand them up when they are tiny because it can damage their little legs.

garnet80 They have another nurse there now and I try to get her to look after my son now. I know when the first nurse gave me my needle it hurt. Instead of injecting it like most nurses she stabbed it into the arm. That's the worst needle I've ever had it made the...

garnet80 They did take a long time to heal and I was worried so like the overprotective Mum I am I asked the doctors about them. They said it was a reaction from the needle guess they really couldn't admit tht the injections has been given too deep. I think they said...

garnet80 Thanks for that bit of information I always thought that it was less painful if the needle was put in slowly less pain more accurate so to speak. As they say you learn something new everyday.

garnet80 I have to agree with you there about how qualified the nurse is. I myself have had needles in the past that afterwards make you feel like you have been wrestling with a bear. Makes you wonder how they feel if we feel that bad.

garnet80 I know that sometimes when the child accidently moves they get hurt more and this is not the nurses fault. But yes they are too fast most of the time. Have you tried seeing another doctor who will make the time to fit a child in for their immuisation.

garnet80 Some nurses do and there has been times when they have been gentle. He used to cry everytime which I got used to but it was the marks that were left that I hated. The lumps under the skin were like little marbles.
