  1. Honestly, it's hurtful. Especially for people that have infertility and miscarriages let alone those that have survived breast cancer and are now infertile because of it. This is a blog post that sums it up pretty well http://cgwardphotography.blogspot.com/2011/08/regarding-facebook-breast-cancer.html?spref=fb
  2. Print out the description now, before they try to change it and claim they didn't misrepresent it.
  3. Often people that are hacked don't know it. It happened to me and I didn't even know it and I felt so embarrassed when I found out. I would change the password on your email account that's what helped me. I hope you get your apology too.
  4. This is my experience with my daughter. After a year old she refused to take formula or milk from anything EXCEPT a bottle. She would drink water from a sippy or a cup but if put milk in a sippy or a cup she refused it. I tried every cup out there, still she would only take it from the bottle. I started to offer the sippy first and if she refused it to put it in the bottle. Then one day at 18 months she finally took the sippy. I about fell on the floor and she didn't turn back. Some people kept telling me "Get her off the bottle" others said "Let her have it" I know one family whose son was on the bottle past his third birthday. Today he's a perfectly normal 4 year old. If she's mixing the formula with milk in intervals to wean him off then he will be off formula soon. The bottle is a different story and personally I'm glad I didn't force it. Looking back 18 months is still little and many children BF well into toddler years and have a hard time weaning why would the bottle be any different. To them it's a comfort thing and I felt bad for trying to take away a source of comfort. Besides, I like milk in a plastic cup and DH likes milk in a glass. :tongue_smilie:
  5. I use this all the time, unfortunately there are several that aren't listed.
  6. We played "Are you smarter than a preschooler?" with my nephew (12) and dad the other day since the book "What your preschooler needs to know" was sitting on my couch and well... the results were dismal.
  7. Yep, this was preached from the pulpit at my church while DH and I were sitting in the front row. When they looked at us and realized what they said they started to back pedal. Add that with only having one and you get A LOT of rude and ignorant comments.
  8. Maybe YOU wouldn't but people have said it to me and it hurts because I wish I could have more children.
  9. As a mother of an only child and trying to conceive for several years now. I can say some of the most hurtful things I've heard are from people with 4+ children. It goes both ways. Just sayin' :)
  10. :iagree: My daughter got one for her second birthday. She's almost three and plays with it everyday. We use sidewalk chalk too.
  11. Answers: 1. If you keep track of each girls money coming in and out it shouldn't be a problem to do it this way. Just keep good records. 2. You may want to have a couple of other parents names on the account (maybe three total) and then you have checks with two signatures so that there is accountability and so that you cover yourself in case someone tries to accuse you of mismanaging the funds. 3. That's how I do and it's fair. Have them sign in and out of each fundraiser so that you know who participated and how long they were there. Unless it's selling stuff, that's obviously different. 4. It's can be a lot of work and parents will question you so keep good records and even send info to the parents on a regular basis (maybe after each fundraiser) letting them know where their child stands. Including any withdrawals. Have fun!!!
  12. My 2 year old daughter is the same way she loved the alphabet and is always pointing to words and saying "What does this say?" I bought 100 EZ lessons and I think it is a great book. Then I borrowed "Teach Your Child to Read in Just Ten Minutes a Day" by Sidney Ledson and it is right up her alley because it is geared toward 2-3 year old's.
  13. Try these lists. I know it says for 3 and 4 year olds but they are still good scripture to memorize. http://www.abcjesuslovesme.com/3-year-old-curriculum/curriculum-lists/54-memory-verses-3rd-year http://www.abcjesuslovesme.com/4-year-old-curriculum/curriculum-lists/41-character-trait-verse-a-song-table-4th-year We also got the Hide 'Em in your Heart CD/DVD combos since it's scripture in song. I still remember these scriptures from when I was a teenager (and my siblings were children). http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=hide+em+in+your+heart&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=PSRC&nav_search=1&cms=1
  14. Try this http://www.citypass.com/houston 5 attractions for $39 for adult and $29 for children
  15. This article has helped me A LOT http://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/gaslighting.html when it comes to situations like you are describing. Take a look through the website there are quite a few good articles.
  16. No offense taken. :001_smile: No, JK has been in place way before grade 13 was abolished so really children were going to formal school for 15 years before they took grade 13 out. I don't really think there is a need for JK and they've now started full day kindergarten and it's one of the reasons I started looking into homeschooling. I didn't think she needed to be there all day, especially when I'm at home. They say it will be play based. She can play at home and in the backyard, thank you very much. :001_smile:
