At least they allow you in there house. When I traveled with my MIL to her mother's funeral her sister didn't invite us to visit her house. It was very weird for me. My dh's family is the sit and watch TV type, thankfully I can deal with it. I can play with my kids or plan adventures, as I refuse to travel cross country and watch tv the whole time. It was better that last time I went thankfully. My mom's family gets together and laughs and talks. Haven't seen dad's side in years.

Cooking with whole chickens?? (I'm scared!)
jennsmile replied to profmom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Easy. My favorite way is to throw it in the crockpot after I get out the gizzards/ heart ect. Add some BBQ sauce. Cook on low or high depending on if it is morning or afternoon when I get started. If you have a rotisorrie it is easy, add, paprika and garlic salt and cook. -
Breastfeeding around older sibs
jennsmile replied to Carrie75's topic in General Education Discussion Board
All boys, 10, 7, &4. They are all fine with me feeding baby brother 4 months around them. No covering. They aren't comfortable if they walk in and I am just out of the shower getting dressed, but nursing doesn't bother them at all. The 4 year thinks it is the best time to hug and kiss his baby brother. -
WWYD: Glucose Test during Pregnancy
jennsmile replied to Canadianmumof5's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Which scale are they using? (10 years ago there were 3) I had a doc that used the lowest scale and I was a point too high he wanted to hospitalize me 24 to monitor me. I switched doc's and got a second opinion. Thankfully he used a different scale but he did make me retest. I would avoid the test but that is me. It makes me sick, literally and that can't be healthy for me or my baby. I don't get sick when I eat food just the nasty glucose drink. Good luck. Can you do the jelly bean test or even eat a real meal? -

LONG:End of a co-op and a friendship
jennsmile replied to TammyS's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Sorry. Losing a coop is hard. Thankfully at WTM we mostly play nice. It has taken the place of my coop. I do have friends that homeschool locally but I don't think I will ever do a coop again. :grouphug: -
Atlantic article-- Women can't have it all
jennsmile replied to butterflymommy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think that is a great solution. Thank you for sharing, wish I had heard of that idea about 15 years ago as a teen. I really enjoy being doctor mom and sometimes wish I had pursued medicine. Maybe someday. -
:grouphug: Boys are fun. When mine were younger I thought they had poured paint on the 2 yo. We have a red door & walls. First glance I was sure they had gotten into the paint as it was all over his face. Nope it was a silly forehead wound from a rock. Small wounds on foreheads are really bloody. Glad you didn't end up in the ER. Hopefully that is the highlight of the weekend.

:grouphug::grouphug: I am Mormon and yep we have meetings too that we are encouraged to attend. But it seems you have more. There is no way we could do late family nights like you mentioned. Dh works and we like our sleep. I also live far away from our church meetinghouse. Thankfully because most of the other members do as well they really limit weekday activities. We have very few and I feel no guilt taking care of my family first.

Pack like you are moving into the tiny apartment. Then have some boxes labeled for if you are in the fixer upper. Congrats!

Run Away. Major fail with my oldest. He is a lefty, we are still recovering. -
Surest way to make TOM show up...
jennsmile replied to AnnaM's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Since I can't return razor blades my guess is no. Try craigslist or a friend. -

long camping trip - food??
jennsmile replied to Hilltop's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Why not bring cans of beans & meat and make your chili at the camp? There are lots of dehydrated foods you could use. I would rely on my processed precanned things. If you have the time you can precan your own chili or chicken or pork with a pressure canner. Have fun. -
My dh is weird about food. (not a bash)
jennsmile replied to RainbowSprinkles's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Dh will eat it but he doesn't like it. We do either but lately I have found awesome prices on the whole wheat that they clearance at the local grocery store, guess others don't like it either as it doesn't sell. -
We watched Baby Babble by Talking Child. And then we did some Speechercise to work on certain sounds that were noted by the speech therapist at dh's school. Signing also helps with those non talkers and while it doesn't replace speech it helped my little one not be frustrated. Now I wish he wouldn't talk so much. :glare:
