I can't even remember the details of what the product was or what the problem even was because it's been so many years ago.... but I remember talking to someone on the phone after I had a problem with a product or service and he basically told me, "I wish you would've contacted us first. We...

I don't know about solving the problem of an entire load having static. However, if you've got static in the outfit that you're putting on/wearing then you can take a dryer sheet (fabric softener sheet) and literally rub it all over yourself :cool1::rotfl: Works like a charm! Of course, if...

That's funny! I've used men's rooms before, but not by accident. It has only been a couple of times and it was in an emergency situation where the one and only toilet for females was occupied for longer than I could handle! The look on a man's face when you come walking out the door is...

Bottles? Watch out with that word! Everyone knows that breast is best! :rotfl2: Next thing you know, bottle feeding will be considered neglect! ;)

Once again, I was referring to sheltered parents, not children. I already said that. It's funny that you keep making the "attitude" comment when you have a horrible attitude (which has been pointed out) toward everyone, including the OP. What's up with that? I haven't participated in any...

I actually had the parents in mind, not the children. I've seen neglected children. Anyone who thinks a baby who is allowed to cry vs being held at every whimper is "neglected" probably hasn't experienced a neglected child.

I would say YES. I would restore peace. In my experience, when family members stop speaking, there is usually more than one solitary event that led to the separation of sorts. For example, my sister and I always had some sibling rivalry. She's older and always had some resentment toward me...

Not rushing to pick up a crying baby that is well fed, warm, dry, not ill, etc. is considered neglect? No wonder the term "snowflake" was born here as the OP mentioned. The word "sheltered" comes to mind also.

Good post. :thumbsup2 One more off topic point before I jump off my soapbox. I saw someone here the other day say they are practically like a single mom 6 days of the week because their husband works. I was like, REALLY?! It's funny the things people find insulting on the boards. To me...

That's the key. I've spent a lot of time in daycare centers, some of the time working and some of the time observing. In my opinion, the smaller "home based" daycares were the best. Of course, that's just an opinion. So many people are skeptical of the home based centers, but I found that the...

I'm also a psychic. I knew this thread was coming so I created a persona on the DIS boards just waiting for this moment.

I completely agree. Mine never had a set bedtime either, and my schedule changed too much for that to even be possible. However, if I was tired then it was bedtime. I wasn't going to lose sleep or cancel an appointment because my princess wanted to stay up and play Barbies. Having a...

I agree with something edible...or even taking him out to eat and giving him some candy/baked goods. I also found this poem online and actually did this for my boyfriend when I was a teen. He loved it! So, you just wrap an empty box in some cute valentine themed paper and attach this poem by...

Yeah, I have 2 kids who don't run my life, and a bachelor's degree in early childhood development. Terrifying!

My daughter went to daycare while I went to class, and then I worked there after class so that I could pay for the daycare fee. There was this one kid who really was a "special little snowflake" and his parents would come in LATE every day and want to stand around watching him play with blocks...

I never said that being a parent is easy. Some people just make it a lot harder than it should be. When you're the grown up, you set a schedule for your baby and adjust their routine to fit yours. You don't adjust your life to fit theirs. Well, some people do. I guess that's where the term...

It's so funny how different everyone is when it comes to kids. Some people are like, "Oh, just wait. She's exhausted! Just imagine being sleep deprived, blah blah blah." Uhh....the kid is 1.5 years old, not 4 days old. There are people who go to work, school, or both and they don't find it...
