doors43 Joined: 8/28/06 Posts: 315	Title: Movies Posted: 2 yearss ago I have no time to see them anymore. The last one I saw was on cable and was Sin City... which was pretty good.

I prefer the beach in the spring when fewer people are there and I do my theme parks in October when their season is winding down (although in places like CA and FL, they are always in season).

That's the first rule of working at home. There are surveys you can take that pay (not very well of course, but I do this from time to time) and there are companies like Mary Kay and Avon that you can sell for a small profit. If you look on craigslist.org, you may find some telecommuting jobs as well. I'm going to be stay at home mom as of next week after 9 years in my law office, so I'm making the adjustment myself. Good luck.

It's worked fine. My daughter does suck her two fingers, but she was doing that with the nookie, too. She does it less frequently now that she's 2-1/2.

Someone else touched on this too - it's important to keep one parent speaking the "other" language as much as possible, while the other uses English. My daughter has actually picked up a lot of Spanish from Dora and Diego (she's 2 1/2) and since I speak Spanish, too, I've been using it around her more now. You can start at any age. If you'd rather they learn to speak first, they can pick up other languages very quickly even as old as 8 or 9.

My problem with Huggies is that the gel inside (or whatever it is) starts to crumble into their skin when they get wet, especially overnight; and the diapers leak. Pampers Swaddler/Cruisers are great (regular Pampers are okay too) and I actually like Luvs too. I once tried to go cheap and bought Fitti - don't ever buy Fitti! They are by far the worst diapers in the universe. True story.

Whole bunches of changes coming, and a few more folks on board. Starting to get posts that need moving around - potty training in 'teens' and stupid crap like that. How's things? You finished with your 'regular' job? Maybe the lock doesn't work for moderators? I don't know. Yes, my "regular" job is finished and now I'm totally in a 360!!! Like, I had all these adults to talk to and a schedule and now I sit home like, okay what the hell do I do here? Yeah, it's a big adjustment for me.

We say no, she does it anyway. She hits; she screams; she throws tantrums. I realize she's in her terrible 2's, but holy crap, I'm going to lose it. I know this thread was started for advice on a 1-year old and I think with a 1-year old, you have to be extra careful because they really don't understand the word no and when they do understand it, they don't understand why and you can't explain it to them because their brains can't reason the way an adult's can. My daughter to an extent too. She's extremely smart for her age and sometimes I forget that she's only 2. We're dealing with her by consistently saying no when she does bad things. You can't only say no some of the time and allow the behavior at other times either. That's a big no-no.

My daughter (2-1/2) puts up such a fight at bedtime, but luckily, she's still in her crib. Unless they're potty trained, there's no reason to put them in beds so early, unless you need the crib for a newborn. I know my daughter isn't ready for a bed based on how she acts at bedtime. The problem I have is that she shares a room with my 4-1/2 month old son and her screaming sometimes wakes him up. It's always cover me, I want water, go get my dolls, etc. I'm telling you, when she has her own room, she's in for a rude awakening.

doors43 Joined: 8/28/06 Posts: 315	Title: Integrated forum Posted: 2 yearss ago So you're using the rep comments? No rep points, though? I like those, but they really don't mean much here, do they?
