harmoniebreeze you should be ok. She is not going to starve herself it is just something she can control. Eventually she will eat and remember what seems like nothing to us is a big amount since kids tummies are so little.

harmoniebreeze WOW. If it were me I would focus on educating your husband. Let him know the health effects it has on your child. You are in a closed car in a really close space so this is worse than smoking in the house. All sorts of illinesses are realted to second...

harmoniebreeze try the detangler that is made by Lorel. It comes in a spray bottle. Also use a big tooth comb. I know Avon sells a good one for like 3.00 and it works greta! Good luck. The detnagler works wonders and will dry quick and leave his hair nice.

How much help should you give your children with homework?

mainman195 @mainman195 (186) • United States 29 Jan 07

When my kids were growing up, I always emphasized getting the homework done early. My oldest child would sit down and 15 minutes to an hour or so later it was finished. My youngest on the other hand would sit down and work on 15...

Do you really take advantage of 24-hour shopping?

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 27 Jan 07

Where I live, we don't have 24-hour shopping. The latest the stores stay open is 10PM (or possibly 11PM) and that is *only* for grocery stores. Department or retail stores are never open later than 9PM and, on weekends, they...

My 6 month old is sucking her thumb....

Muslimah @Muslimah (811) • United States 24 Jan 07

should i stop her? my mother says "take that thumb out of her mouth" i think its cute... and she sucks on it so she can go to sleep. So should i stop her?

16 responses

harmoniebreeze Right away- I think I would try to give her a pacifier because it will be much easier to get rid of later You can't get rid of her thumb, but you CAN send her pacifier to some magical places and that seems to work great for all kids! Good Luck!

harmoniebreeze Yes. Having a dog means lot of trips to the vet and all kinds of stuff. He needs to go and be fed, but most of all he needs love. It is a lot of work, but so worth it!
