    Child swap question...Can the parent that stays back with the smaller kids have someone from the original group ride with him/her again?

    First time flying southwest

    True....but the child is the one getting punished by being shown Walking Dead. Also my question to her was if I had to be separated from my child because the plane is full, would she play her show to punish me. The answer seems to be yes.

    First time flying southwest

    I was hoping she was being over the top, but based on her next post...nope! She was serious. And I really think she believes her bad behavior is justified if she is inconvenienced by a child.

    First time flying southwest

    Someone said that they would put a bag on the seat and someone else say that they would let the kid talk to the adult. That's not nearly as extreme as showing a kid something that could cause them fear and anxiety. Also, you just cannot know if someone bought EBCI or not based on their...

    First time flying southwest

    I always buy EBCI, and I have ALWAYS gotten Boarding group "B" on at least one leg of my flight. And every time, my husband reminds me that I just wasted a bunch of money to board with the other families. I've also purchased EBCI but had to board after most of the flight has boarded due to a...

    Love your username! After 10 years living the Army life, I just heard about "Household 6".

    POFQ or Shades of Green?

    We will be visiting WDW at the end of Feb with our best friends. We have the opportunity to stay at either Port Orleans French Quarter or Shades of Green for about the same price (factoring in paying for transportation to/from the airport since SoG doesn't have Magical Express). I love POFQ...

    need advice (long, sorry)

    I don’t think you need to pay for an attorney. The ADA is the attorney in this case. This is just a questionnaire to help him/her develop the case. Save yourself the time and money. A couple of suggestions for your responses… 2… Write something about your apprehension/anxiety about what...

    Your Parents Healthcare costs you could be Liable

    Wow! That is scary! My FIL was a terrible father. DH and his sisters lived in poverty. FIL doesn't believe in saving for the future....he puts his future in God's hands. He also doesn't believe in healthcare (although his job offers it). We would never let him be without shelter or food...

    Renting a home

    The Army is sending us to DC. We will be renting a 4 bedroom 1950's house that needs some updating for $3100/month (BAH is $3020). My friends found a much smaller "cheaper" house in the same area for $2750/month. It KILLS me to pay that much in rent even if the Army is paying most of it...

    Time Cover - What do you think?

    Actually, I said (1) does breastfeeding a preschooler = immature preschooler OR (2) has she extended the breastfeeding because he is immature, OR (3) neither of the two. Maybe mhsjax is onto something, and his behavior is an indicator of a higher aptitude in math. Just because a child is...

    Time Cover - What do you think?

    Yes...his mannerisms/movements reminded me of a toddler.

    Time Cover - What do you think?

    I already explained what I saw, and I acknowledged that he might be out of his element in my second post. BTW...my 5 year boy is also a cuddler and very shy, and he acted just like the kid on tv when he was 2. So, I guess I am basing my opinion on my experience with my own kids. And my gut...

    Time Cover - What do you think?

    My kids just turned 2 and 5, and I spend most of my day with various kids under the age of 5. I would have pegged him for a young two. He didn't misbehave at all, but he certainly didn't seem like a kid that's about to turn 4. IMO, he communicated like a 2 year old and was clingy like a two...

    Time Cover - What do you think?

    The mother and child were interviewed on the Today show this morning.... http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/jamie-lynne-grumet-defends-her-time-magazine-breastfeeding-180300346.html The little boy acted like a young two year old (maybe younger). So, does he act this way because he has...

    Dan Rather's Expose Adopted or Abducted?

    Coercion may happen occasionally, but less than 1% of teenagers in the US choose adoption. In fact, many people believe that due to the reduced stigma attached to single motherhood, women feel pressured to NOT choose adoption. As an adoptive mother, I can understand that pressure...I have...

    Toddlers riding the bigger rides at Disney

    My son was the exact same age the last time we went to WDW. He loved BTMRR and Splash (and Test Track and Soarin'). But he was scared of the ghosts on ToT. The ride itself was okay, but he was so freaked out by the ghosts that he couldn't enjoy himself. This was totally my fault, I was so...

    I'm done with CVS!

    Exactly!! My hubby is in the military and we move every 1-2 years. At one point, I had a couple of dozen loyalty cards in my wallet! I've always used Walgreens because they don't have a loyalty card, but Tricare dropped their contract with Walgreens for 2012. In the short time I have...
