I tried time-outs twice. Both times, my daughter got so distraught at being separated from me and having done something wrong, that it was worse than the “crime” itself. I found that, with her, the only punishment she ever needs is getting our disapproval. (For now, we’ll see what happens when she’s a teen.) Read more

It’s nice to have everything in one place, too. Read more
Moon, I’m going to compile my favorite comments of yours in an ebook. Cool? Read more
Maybe? But we don’t really know where this is finding the extra space, so we can’t know if it’d be the same stuff that’d be deleted. Read more
Yeah, I watched this three days ago and still remember the rug, frog, sharp, and other items I paid attention to. Pretty powerful. Read more
There’s still the free version—and most of the songs will be available there too. The paid version has an “expanded catalog” (not sure yet what that means exactly). So, yeah, you already have access to most of the stuff for free. Read more

When we did the reglazing, we didn’t have to vacate the house, just stay away from the bathroom and keep it closed. The tub was from an old house with a weird size that we could not find a replacement for (that wasn’t thousands of dollars to buy or ship). Read more

It seems like you’re saying that all kids need to be in a peanut-friendly environment in order not to be allergic to them, but… Read more
Some who were exposed to peanuts early on still developed the allergy, although they were less likely to than those who avoided peanuts. Read more
If you think that 6yo kids with potentially fatal allergies should somehow “just deal” because it inconveniences other kids and their parents...well, thanks for demonstrating that there is also a lack of empathy involved in the debate. Imagine if your kid died just because the table wasn’t properly cleaned and another… Read more
