Mercury in fish…and now in our "green" lightbulbs.
BPA's in bottles and cups.
Phtalates in lotions.
Lead on their toys.
Melamine in formula.
Poisons seem to be everywhere. Its in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the toys we play with.
Does anyone else here ever get overwhelmed with worry about how to keep your kids safe from these things? Is there really any way to protect our kids?
I try to buy organic, wash her clothes before she wears them, buy BPA free, but is it enough?
It seems like everyday I read something about a new harmful chemical I need to worry about. Is he media helping us by letting know about these things, or are they making us worry for no reason? What other things can I do to protect my little girl?

You should talk to the manager and ask why they have the tv on and why the people that are getting paid to watch the kids arent playing with the kids. I would think if there are toys and other children around the tv wouldnt need to be on. I dont think your views are unpopular, I personaly dont let my kids watch alot of different "kids" movies or shows bc they arent really for younger children. I would tell the manager how much you love going to his gym but you would like it so much more if the nursery changed a little. You could ask if nothing else if you could bring in a certain movie or show dvd to be on while your kids are there if they arent willing to turn off the tv. Or suggest they have certain times when the tv is on like every half hour so the kids get used of playing and interacting with other children some of the time they are there. Tell them you go to the gym to stay in shape and show a good example for your kids, having the tv on (so much tv time is part of the childhood obesity issue we have in america) isnt what a gym should be apart of. Just try and be very nice about it so they arent like….uuggh here she comes again!!!! Im sure other mothers at your gym feel the same way.
I think it's completely upto you, it's totally a personal choice. You're a grown woman and mother, you can make whatever choice you want, you don't owe your parents an explanation. This is a relationship you want to pursue, and it's hard to do that with the rules they put on you. So thank them for everything, don't make it seem like you're leaving because of them, you're leaving because you and your bf want to take things to the next level.
Be a good "daughter-in-law" and show them that you're not there to live off them or their son; offer to pay rent, help with cooking and cleaning
Ohhh I guess you dont know about the 'purple dots' do you? Well.. you have a pefect way to start since you know he's lying.
Tell him, Did you know kids get purple dots on their tongue when they lie? and then ask him what happened in school. When he lies, tell him to stick out his tongue then say.. oh my, you have purple dots. Your tongue will end up turning black if you don't tell me the truth. Keep at it, when he doesn't see them in the mirror, tell him only parent's can see or whatever you know he'll believe.
It sounds stupid but I have 3 boys and it worked for all of them. After a time or two, then they know they're lying, they won't stick out their tongue or they'll curl it hoping to hide the 'purple dots'.
My kids would even use it to 'prove' they were telling me the truth. Like I'd say, "who made this mess in the kitchen?" and one would say, "I didn't mom." then stick out his tongue and say, "see? no purple dots." For times when you're not sure if he's telling the truth, just pull one of those, "oh you must have told a lie earlier today because the purple dots are all blurry." I actually watched their body language as they got older to look for their tells when they lied. I can't use the purple dots anymore on the two oldest but I can usually tell when they're lying and they rarely lie to me… as they say, "Mom's got the mommy power, she can just tell."
As for the whining kid.. whine back at her until she gets extremely annoyed. It's immature I know but then talk to her, explain that it annoys you when she does it just like she got when you did it.
My middle one went though that whining phase, so for 3 days I whined back at him then had the talk. Every so often he'll start use a whiney voice and I'll answer him in a whiny voice. It helps if you practice making it a horrible as possible. I actually used to watch Roseanne and The Nanny to help me improve it to the best annoying tone I could get it.
By the way, your son may not be lying about having a belly ache. it's possible for kids to get ulcers so when he gets upset or nervous over something and that creates more stomach acid and it hurts. Might want to take him to the doctor to check it out just in case.
Oh my god, my brain hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, to teach them a lesson, I would take away the extras (ANYTHING that is not a necessity) and make them earn it back… you shouldn't have to buy something twice because they break it, fight over it or whatever… Privileges should be earned!
My kids know that it if they treat their toys, video system, clothing, etc with disrespect that they will lose them for a short time. If they decide that they cannot take care of their things they will not get to keep them. I give them away to families who need them. It sounds harsh, but I have only had to give two or three things away!
Try reading 'Bringing Up Boys' by James Dobson. Also by the same author 'The Strong Willed Chld'. They will help, I promise!
Good Luck.
I LOVE the ring tube!
But I'd save yourself some money, and go to wal mart! Especally now while all their Summer stuff is most likely on sale..
You could get a bunch of different things for under 5 each!
Leave them in the packages, and stick them in a basket.. and each kid can pick what they want!
Just get more than one of each!
GREAT joke! Worth the time reading it! A star and another one for you:
This guy goes to the pharmacist and says, "Listen, these two girls are coming to my place for the weekend and they are hot, very hot.
Would you have something to get me going all night. It is going to be hell of a party."
The pharmacist goes in the back room, comes back with an old dusty bottle and says, "This stuff is very potent, you drink only one ounce of it and I guarantee that you will be doing the wild thing all night. Let me know about it."
The weekend goes by and on Monday morning, the pharmacist is going to work and at the door of the drug store, the same fellow is there waiting for him.
The pharmacist says, "What are you doing here so early? How was your weekend?"
The guy replies, "Quick open the store, I need Blue Ice (a pain muscle reliever).
The pharmacist, knowing what the guy had been doing all weekend, says, "Are you crazy, you can't put that on your p**is. The skin is way too sensitive."
The guy says, "It's not for my p**is, it's for my arm. "
Pharmacist says, "What?? What happened?"
Guy replies, "Well. . . I drank the whole bottle of your potion. "
Pharmacist says, "And. . ."
Guy replies, "The girls never showed up!"
You have made it to level 4 of YA since May of 08? I think you need to log off your computer and spend some time talking w/ your son. He's obviously upset about something and maybe the only attention he feels he gets is for bad behavior?
Does your fiance play with him? Speak to him like an intelligent human child?
Have you asked your son why he behaves around the 'man' of the house and not you?
so many questions…
hurry, quick.. first, gather up his things, drive to Nebraska.. find a hospital..
LOL! – Just kidding!! He's YOUR child.. figure it out somehow.
I think that this like many other things that have come and gone in the past years is unfortunatly not a cure. People are always claiming that a diet or something is going to cure autism. I work with children with autism and I've never heard about this working. I know 5 years ago when they thought vaccines may be causing autism it was all over the news. I think if it did it would be on the news and all over the place – because a cure for autism would be a big deal. This may be a good treatment for some children but I don't think cure is the right word. (This of course is just my personal opinion and it would never hurt to try a new treatment)
I'm old, but I liked it, you said allot, that needed saying. That at the end of the day we are so different, yet so much alike. I think it's good. You hit the nail on the head, nice perspective on life, people, in general.
if lice is a problem im sure children services will go and investigate. especially if it a reoccurring problem. the only thing is she should do it anonymously if her husband will be upset. id be worried to! its definitely something to look into or talk to someone about regardless if there is a new baby or not.. but i understand the concern bc there is a new baby coming.
Tell you very nice husband that if he does not do more around the house like cleaning up then you are going to leave your job so you can stay home and he can pay all the bills. That or tell him that you are going to put the kids in daycare.
That might kick him to helping..
