How do you deal with two toddler boys fighting all the time

pinkytabor @pinkytabor (818) • Philippines 24 Aug 08

I have a one year old and a two year old. Both boys. As early as their age, the rivalry is so evident that i have to play "referee" all the time. The older one is so violent towards his little brother that I'm afraid, my one year...

julievy At some point you have to let them work it out themselves. Your two may be a little young for that just yet, but keep that in mind. Once they are both of a similar size you should let them handle their disputes themselves. My boys are now 22 and 26. The...

Am I Ugly or Attractive?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 24 Aug 08

Okay, I want your HONEST opinion. I'm single and I have been for a while. Now, I also have two children, so going out to meet new people is very hard for me to. My life is pretty much, work and kids. Sometimes I don't feel like I...

julievy What you look like should have no bearing on the person that responds to your ad. If a man is judging you by your appearance.... is he the type you would want to go out with anyway? He should be judging you by your heart, your morals, your kindess, etc. And,...

What color are your kids eyes?

dani27 @dani27 (544) • United States 29 Jul 08

My daughter we thought she was going to have blue eyes and then we'd look and think no brown then we realized it was both. Her eyes are mostly blue but one eye is half brown. They are so beautiful. What color are your kids eyes?

julievy My boys both have brown eyes. Both of them recently had kids, one of them has a blue eyed daughter. The other had a boy, but it's too soon to tell what color his eyes will be. My eyes are green, my husband's eyes were brown.

julievy We recently moved to a home with a green roof. Our roof is sod! This house is twice the size of our old one, but costs only half as much to heat and cool. We rarely need the air conditioner in the summer, just on a few days when the humidity is really high...

When you say LAST CHANCE... do you really mean it?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 29 Jul 08

What are the instances when you say, Last Chance? Do you often hear yourself saying Last Chance? When you tell this other people, do you really mean it? Or are you that kind of person who would say Last Chance...

julievy I try not to say it unless I mean it! That's especially important with kids. You have to back up what you say or they won't learn the right lessons. There are always circumstances where you may have to give another chance, but they should be rare!

julievy 9 weeks or older is the best. They may be weaned by the time they're 6 weeks, but they still have alot of social skills that they can learn from their mothers (such as bite inhibition, peeing outdoors, and other behavior lessons. I wouldn't get a puppy from...

Do you insult back?

msedge @msedge (4011) • United States 27 Jul 08

It's unfortunate, but people can be insulting. Sometimes they insult on purpose, at other times it's unconsciously.When its hurting so much i do insult back and stay away.

julievy I usually say something like "I'm sorry that you're so unhappy with yourself that you have to insult me to make yourself feel better". That really shuts them up! If it doesn't, then I just walk away. They're not worth my time.

julievy Bring some outside toys that are new to him, and also be sure to bring a favorite blanket or stuffed toy for bed time. It might help if you could do a practice "camp out" in the living room before you go. Set up the tent indoors and sleep inside in your...

Autism and Vaccines...

blogging2 @blogging2 (201) • United States 24 Jul 08

Does anyone else think that there is some sort of link between the increase in vaccines they want to give our children and the jump in the autism rate in the US? Personally I do, but trying to find out if others are making this...

julievy I would think that it really has more to do with the fact that many women are waiting until they are older to start a family. There has been a proven correlation between older birth mothers and autistic children. Kids have been getting routine vaccinations...
