It sounds to me like you could use a little distance. Have you considered moving?

Is their room over the garage?

Put them in a brown paper bag. They give off ethylene gas as they ripen that will ripen them faster by being encased. You can speed the process by placing other fruit that is ripe that gives off ethylene gas at a high rate with them in the bag, like an apple, or a ripe banana. You can also place them somewhere warm, as heat speeds up chemical processes. If they are somewhere too cold, the chemical process will be interrupted and cannot be restarted, so they won't ripen.

My husband died 2 years ago from cancer. Our children were 10 and 7 at the time. Books were OK, depending on what they were about. Movies or music were better because they took less effort, and energy becomes very valuable. If they are advice about death, dying, or alternative treatments, it gets really old, really fast. (Everybody wants to tell you what you should eat, what magic drink there is, the magical prayer that prevents death from cancer, etc... when you have cancer) The best thing you can do is spend some time with them making some good memories, let them share on their terms (let them set the boundaries), and be available as a friend.

Look up Encopresis. It's the medical term for what you are describing and will give you some more information about the causes.

I bought a few sets at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They had quite a few to choose from at the time (not sure about now) with varying prices. :001_smile:

Bob Schultz books! :001_smile:

VS, ordered online. No crowds. :)

I like the garbage disposal on the side nearest to wherever the switch for it is at. It bugs me when the switch is on the opposite side. :tongue_smilie:

:001_smile: I would ask the Dr. for guidelines regarding visitors and abide by those.

I would be asking for Extra Credit for having to come in and retake the test!

That has never happened with mine. Have you tried to google it and see if it is a known problem?

I would have stuck my ground. You set a limit, and told him to ask. He didn't. He got his way (kind of) anyway. The reason this keeps happening is because he keeps winning (sometimes). He is trying to find the boundaries. For my children, I would set a limit, such as no to a certain item. If they continued to ask (or whine) I would tell them that there would be a discipline for asking anymore. If they continued, even once, there was a discipline for not respecting my answer. This cuts the whining, and helps the child to respect what the limits are. Good Luck. Also, not to bash your hubby, I'm sure he was trying to help, but giving into picking him up when you said no undermines your authority.

My 6th grade son is also using chalkdust P-A this year. My plan is for him to do Chalkdust Algebra next year as long as he continues to do well this year.

Have you tried a raw food diet?
