I vomit like that myself! It's hypoglycemia. Have you ever done a blood sugar test for them? It's a risk factor for diabetes.

I also think that once your bladder reaches a certain amount of fullness, it signals to your kidneys to slow down processing, and they resume activity after you've emptied your bladder. That's how I can go 8 hours without peeing and then go 3 times in 3 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've done 10 hours with a 3, 1.5 and 6 month old. It was easy. We only got out once. We left at 8 am, arrived at 7 pm. Another two hours would be trying, but so is staying in a hotel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can only eat what I'm serving for dinner between dinner and breakfast the next day, unless there's a planned dessert. Eat as much or as little as you like; no seconds if you haven't eaten some of everything. (Always preferences in my house, we have no real aversions.) You must sit at the table for 15 minutes with no activities but eating and talking. Use reasonably good manners as age appropriate. That's about it. I'm not hard-line on any of them. There is almost no food that either of my boys won't eat, so I'm blessed in not really worrying about alternate food for starving toddlers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it supposed to be a bachelorette party? I've heard of traveling for those, although I don't like it. I can't see flying someone far away, bringing gifts with you both ways. Silly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There actually ARE studies tracking the alcohol intake of pregnant women in Europe. The babies had no adverse affects whatsoever. So yes, light drinking is basically proven safe, inasmuch as such a thing is provable. (One example study http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1530-0277.1994.tb00089.x/full) I've had two drinks in one day on four occasions and more than that never, so yes, I can be trusted not to start with one glass of wine and end up drinking the whole bottle.

Not cruel at all! Extremely helpful I think. Computer addiction can be a cruel master. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there any research whatsoever showing that light drinking leads to ADHD? I've searched and never seen it, but I'm always willing to reconsider when there's new research.

I would. I did! I have one drink a couple nights a week. Didn't change at all in pregnancy except for morning sickness. No study has ever shown any effect whatsoever at less than 14 drinks per week. I think it's ridiculous that people are trying to shame all mothers into giving up perfectly acceptable things that pose no risk in normal amounts. Like pregnancy isn't unpleasant enough already. (I have three boys, all very bright, drank lightly during all pregnancies.) But I am willing to accept more risk than most people today in most circumstances. My babies sleep on their tummies, for instance. I think our extreme risk aversion as a culture is unhealthy. Of course the AAP says never ever. Who's more risk averse than a doctor at constant risk of being sued? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love the grouchy ladybug! I do all the voices. The lessons include telling time, being polite, and not being a bully. I hate Little Critter books! The snarky mouse... Richard Scarry books bore me to death. Lift the flap always ends in trauma. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My husband is on his way there right now. I'm extremely anxious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Assuming we don't get divorced (seems unlikely but you never know), my kids are all more intelligent than average as every relative is and they seem to be so far, they go to college and our economic status doesn't dramatically change over 15 years, their risk of divorce would be much lower than that, maybe 10%. But yes, it's always a possibility. I would never discourage a daughter from a practical degree!

I see it as probabilities. There's about a 90% chance that my boys will marry and will work outside the home and will prefer not to depend on their wives to support them. Most full-time dads are disabled or unable to find work. There's a 90% chance that girls will marry, a 60% chance that they will work outside the home, and about a 15-20% chance that they will be the sole earners. So, 90% versus 15% chance of needing to earn substantial money. (I've accounted for our economic status in my statistics; if we were in poverty, girls would be much more likely to be single mothers someday.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought this at first, but then I realized that when they only have a couple pairs they wear each one several times, and when they have lots, they wear different ones almost every night.

My 3yo has 2 winter and 2 summer. 2yo has at least 5 fleecy pairs from Christmas gifts and no summer. Infant has 3 footed pajamas. I think 2 winter and 2 summer is good. Our house actually varies a lot in temperature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My husband works. I have little kids at home. He always does the dishes. We're not in your scenario exactly, but I'd guess he would still do them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean, if the child intends to embark on an unprofitable career, they'd better not do it already saddled with debt. I took out loans for my engineering degree and that was a good investment. I think all women should be able to support themselves. If they can do more than that, bonus! But all men should be capable of supporting a whole family.

I know this is totally sexist, but I would probably be ok with it for a girl and would discourage it for a boy, since I think my sons will probably want to be capable of being breadwinners for a family and daughters hopefully won't need to. I would very strongly encourage a no-debt education, in any case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 27. I dress like a mom most of the time. My favorite store is Talbots. I wear a lot of skirts and dresses. For summer, I have a flowy sleeveless blouse, a t-shirt with button details, a ruffled sleeve t-shirt, etc. My only shorts are tailored khaki and almost knee-length. My jeans are high waisted. I think I look cute, pretty and fashionable, but I don't dress like a teenager. Nevertheless, I was recently asked whether I was 18 when the police pulled me over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think there's some truth in that. I have no doubt that men find young women most attractive, but there are plenty of men who don't settle down until they're older and are happy to find a wife of 30-35 years. It would be crazy to rush to get married young so that you don't feel rushed when you're older! But if the opportunity presents itself to you to marry a good man in your 20s, and you want children, I think purposely waiting until your fertility has declined to even consider it would be silly, too.

So when I look at the FAFSA worksheet linked above, and it adjusts assets by a factor of 0.12, but you're saying 5-6%, does that get further reduced somehow by another multiplier? Anyway, I do find it ridiculous for the price of college to depend on how much you make and how much you've saved. If it is 6%, that's a quarter of your savings to educate one child, plus much of your current income for four years. Also I see that college cost is dramatically reduced by having kids close enough in age to go at the same time, so I'm glad I have 3 kids in 4 years and will have to contribute 5% of my savings and much of my income for 7 years rather than 12. Apparently my middle child will be effectively free as far as FAFSA is concerned. Of course, things could look very different in 15 years. I went to a school that claimed to meet 100% need and my FAFSA was 0. I graduated with $60k in debt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
