wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 1 Aug 07

When I babysat when I was a kid, I got paid 2 dollars per a kid per an hour (and that was good money) My husband and I are trying to decide how much to pay a teenager that we want to watch our 10 month old, he'll only be awake for...

That's what my hubby says. He says it's not really a holiday, they just made it to not make father's feel bad, because they already have a mother's day. I told him it doesn't matter why they made it, it's important in our family....

why use abdux? Are there any Americans here that prefer it to other methods?

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 13 Jun 07

Is abdux worth it? or other PTC sites? are they really worth the time? NOw, if you are from another country and not from U.s. I suppose I could see why you might pursue it as there are limited sites that allow you to make money.....

I have some great tips for GPT Sites: First, never fill out the information for questions that you don't have to. With many of the surveys, they will have an asterisk * next to the questions that you HAVE to fill out. There are...

I missed My baby's first steps!

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 10 Jun 07

I wasn't there when my 9 month old took his first steps. I'm a little sad really. My husband saw it, and I'm glad one of us got to witness it, but I really wish it had been me. I know, that's kind of selfish, especially since I...

my children without a car seat...

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 2 Jun 07

Now I am a huge advocate for car seats, and think that they should ALWAYS be used, no matter what, but last night, after being rescued from a flooding street, with downpoaring rain, I did not transfer our carseat from our stalled...

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 28 May 07

My oldest has always been apt to push my buttons, and usually doesn't hide it. I was waiting for him to start being sneaky about being disobediant, and today he did. I suppose it's his age (almost 3) but I was hoping he'd wait for...

copy cat..and the embarrasment that follows.

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 3 May 07

My son copies everything my husband does, which is cute, but can be embarrasing at times. My hubby is constantly smacking me on the butt when he walks by, just playing around, and my son has picked up that bad habit. And now, my...

Nursing Strike

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 31 Mar 07

My almost seven month old, has decided he would rather not nurse. I can get him to take 2 full feedings a day, if I fight him, but it's becoming almost impossible to get him to take more. Initially I thought it was my milk supply,...

wmaharper @wmaharper (2316) • United States 14 Mar 07

My son (2 1/2) has been using the potty for about 4 months now, pretty consistently too. But he refuses to go poop in the potty. He says it's gross. I don't know why. But we have finally decided that stickers were not enough...
