DDIL baby shower this Sunday - cancelled DD#2 College graduation - cancelled DD#2 contract to perform on Royal Caribbean cruise line - on hold for at least 30 days. Thankfully, DH and I have essential jobs so for the time being we are still employed. But we are all healthy so far, so I am...

DD worked as a nanny this past summer. She advertised in care.com. She also works part time in a day care. I know this particular day care sanitizes EVERYTHING everyday after they close or before they open. Your best bet is to interview prospective nannies AND visit local day care...

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story from Hamilton.

Hello all, I am not living in Chicago, but my DD will be attending college there this coming fall. We just got back from a visit to your city and I just wanted to say that we LOVED it!! The people were so friendly and helpful and the city itself was amazing!! DH and I were searching for the...

DD attends college in Oneonta ( and it is my alma mater also). There are a number of hotels to choose from there. DH and I prefer to stay at The Courtyard Marriott. It is a fairly new hotel and we get a great parent rate. As for food, you MUST go to Brooks House of BBQ. A great meal for a...

A little tip I've learned with regards to applying lashes... Have your daughter sit in a chair with her back to you and tip her head back (so she is looking up at the ceiling). Apply the lashes from behind her. It may take a few times to get it perfect but it is so much easier and quicker than...

While I agree that there is no reason for you to get absolutely no response, it has been my experience that the studio doesn't necessarily know what will be offered in the coming year at this time. Add that to the fact that they are probably preparing for the recital and possibly still...

So very sorry for your family's loss.

When I was pregnant with DS (who will be 22 in April) the smell of chicken wings made me nauseous. I never got sick from them, just the smell turned me off. I only just started eating them again this year. :rotfl2:

Congratulations to your DD!! I love the Cinderella musical!! :cheer2:

OP, if you are not comfortable with the arrangements, then you should find alternate child care. That being said, you mentioned that you are vacationing with your parents. Why not take the opportunity to let them spend a day (and maybe a night) with your DD then. It seems to me that...

While that is true, it doesn't make it less frustrating for the locals. How many people come here to complain about the vacationers in WDW who: Walk slow Stop in the middle of the walkways Walk 3 or more across... Now, if it is annoying while on vacation, imagine trying to live your...

I have the same problem with the iPhone 4. It is very frustrating.

I received an email from an on line retailer that I make purchases from fairly often on Dec. 19th stating that, for orders placed that day, they would upgrade my shipping to 3 day FedEx delivery with a guaranteed Dec 24th delivery date. I placed my order and paid an extra 2.95 to have it...

Happy Thanksgiving. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

In my experience, fundraisers run by the PTA are usually discussed at PTA meetings. OP, do you attend any meetings? This may be a good way to have a heads up on anything that may be sent home and also become more involved in the school. With regards to the issue at hand, I would just send the...

I agree

DD#2 celebrated her 15th birthday, with 5 of her friends, at The Sugar Factory in NYC. She has a few other friends who have celebrated there also. Just last week she went to Max Brenner for a birthday dinner. I guess this is the new fad for teen birthdays.

DD#1 (college freshman) actually had the opportunity to travel abroad all 4 years of high school. Her school participates in a foreign exchange program with high schools in France, Spain and Italy. Due to her extra curricular activities, it never seemed to work out until Senior year. She...

Well, actually you DID get an answer about consoling your girlfriend, you just didn't like it. The majority (if not all) of the posters said to tell her to take the job. Some even gave you ways to compromise, like having her come down a day or two later or postponing the trip.
