sarah6153 honestly two cups of apple juice in a six hour period and maybe something fibrous for a snack helps my kid. we also eat whole wheat pasta which is 77% of your daily fiber so the next day he is always fine.

sarah6153 well is it possible you arent really angry at them but you are just angry because you lost your baby (my sympathies to your family). Why would you care whether or not they got a card? If they are really your friends then you should like them for who they are,...

sarah6153 Well I think that having a little homework, say an hour or so isnt really a big deal especially since school days now (high school anyways) arent as long as they used to be. But if a kid has thirteen different activities to do maybe they are too loaded up on...
