My little girl is 2 1/2 years old and she wakes up almost the same time every night crying. I think she might be having a bad dream or something because you can tell she isn't "awake" her eyes are open but you can tell she really...

mommy2taylor1 I thank you girls for all of your help! I didn't even think about sleep apnea so I really appreciate it and I am going to discuss it with my Dr. at her 3 year well child check. She hasn't done it the past 3 nights and I haven't changed anything but I am...

mommy2taylor1 I know it, it's terrible when the kids are sick. Your right, if he did stay he wouldn't be too happy & then we would end up just fighting anyways-- so, this way were both happy & not arguing the whole day!!!

mommy2taylor1 I know. & in all reality when my little girl is sick, she doesn't really want anything to do with her Dad, so it isn't like we NEED him here, I just wanted him to offer to stay & then I wouldn't have cared. But, that's my problem--because it's just a game I'm...

mommy2taylor1 Thanks for the response! My husband is going to the party--because I don't think I was really upset about him going--I guess I just wanted him to offer to stay @ home & then I would have told him to go to the party--but, he didn't. So, I was upset at the fact...

mommy2taylor1 I was upset at first that he would even consider leaving me @ home. But, then again, I realized it was his family & I wasn't going to stay the whole time anyways because of the noise etc. So, I think I just needed him to know that I was upset & why & now I...

mommy2taylor1 Thanks. I did want him to stay @ home, but then after I ready all of the dicussions on here, I realized that there really isn't a point for him to have to stay home & want to be some where else. I did explain to him why I felt the way I did & he understood...

How high is to high? What I mean is, at what temperature do you start giving your children fever medication? I usually do once it hits 100F.

mommy2taylor1 100 degree fever is considered low grade. Lots of the books say that you don't really need to give medicine unless it hits 101.5-- which, you should always follow what your Dr. says, but 100 isn't considered to be high.

I have a friend that works, but her husband gives her a $200 allowance every month for clothes or whatever she wants to get for herself. I thought it was so funny, just because if we ever have money left over at the end of the...

mommy2taylor1 I know it. I just think things should be equal & you can both use the money for things you want (reasonably of course). They booth make money, but the husband is in charge of the finances & he gives her the money so she can go and get clothes or whatever. I...

mommy2taylor1 I know it. I also put breastmilk on her face when she would break out in infant acne & it helped clear that up to. I think just about anything you could try it on because it's natural & can't hurt your children-- so, it's just kinda nice to know that you have...

mommy2taylor1 Oh gosh, that's hard for you then if she won't keep her medicine down even before you go for the shots. Talk to your Dr. about a tylenol suppository--I know some people that have kids that can not keep medicine down & the only way is for a tylenol supp. I...

mommy2taylor1 It's not good to use suppositories because the little babies will become dependent on them & not be able to move their bowls with out stimulation. Only if a person is directed by a Dr. should they use any type of suppository.

When my kids were little there was no vaccination for chicken pox. They had it at 22 months and 9 months. They were not very very ill but it seemed to be enough to build up an immunity for them and they haven't had it again....

mommy2taylor1 Wow, that's really interesting. I know that research shows that chickenpox can be deadly to your unborn fetus, so you were very lucky.

mommy2taylor1 That's absolutely true. I never thought of it that way.. of course if it had happened to you-- you would want to break the cycle.. because you wouldn't want your children to experience what you did.
