Is it right to leave a baby crying for an hour and a half??

Bizziebod @Bizziebod (3497) 7 Feb 07

I'm really cheesed off today! I live in a flat and my downstairs neighbour has a small one year old baby. A few weeks ago she knocked on the door and said she was going to try and get the baby to sleep in his own room and said...

julia2323 First off I'd like to say that I too was very "cheesed off" after reading this post! I have heard of parents letting their babies "cry it out" but I think the maximum time limit for that is around 10-20 minutes...not a few hours! That is ridiculous! My son...

Moms~ever feel like giving up and running away from your family?

good2Bme @good2Bme (103) • United States 24 Jan 07

I honestly and truly love my family, but am I the only one who has those thoughts of just jumping in the car and just leaving my whole family behind? The thing is I feel like they can be the most ungrateful people to live with....

julia2323 I am not sure how much other parents tell their kids they love them, but I know for myself I am constantly telling my 3 year old that I love him. I think it's just a habit. Like for instance, we'll be driving and out of nowhere I will say "I love you' and I...

10 years ago or so one of the final biology veteran teachers retired and a young man (like 23) was hired to replace her and to bring us all together since she had been so divisive and mean. Initially he did that but he was young,...
