I hope you're either trying to get a rise out of everyone or your don't have kids. It doesn't matter matter if the windows were up or down. It doesn't matter what the temps were outside. Point is...IT"S WRONG. Someone could have taken the baby from her car just as easily as he/she could have sufficated in the car.....believe it or not, it happens. a baby in a stroller in 90 degree weather is no comparison.

that is deffinatly a posability. It's just hard to imagine with the puncture marks. but, I guess the dog could have been gentle until he got outside, THEN put the marks on that poor baby. But what about a baby monitor, they would have heard the comotion on that. OR if they didn't have one, I'm having a hard time imagining how a dog pulled a baby out of a crib without any loud comotion, like some sort of thud. No matter how it happened, It is still such a sad story. My prayers are with that baby.

GAH! I couldn't be a cop or work for DFCS.......it would be reactionary for me to just knock some of these parents OUT!! Thank goodness that poor baby is ok.

How did the dog make it ALL the way out of the house with no one noticing????!???!???! How sad! My heart aches for this baby (and the dog.) Poor Dog is probably going to be put down....just didn't know what the baby was yet. So unfortunate.

I haven't seen anything for 3/4 yo tball in paulding. I just came accross a website for 3/4 yo ball in powder springs though! I'm looking into also to see if my son thinks he'll be interested. Powder Springs Tball anyone had a child in PS tball? the reg fee is $50. What other fees could parents expect?

well hopefully she'll get in that complex. $250 would be awesome for her! and close to us which is what she wants she's only 45. she was a young mom.

the ones in rockmart!? wow. she is on a waiting list for the ones behind arby's. I think that is up in September, But not 100% on that. my mom probably isn't the ideal neighbor either. Bless her heart, it's a long...annoying story. thanks

I'll ask her if she's looked. But i think she has. thanks for the suggestion!

my mother is on disability and only brings in $775.00 a month. she is looking for a house,duplex, apartment that she can afford. She currently does not have food stamps (I guess she'll qualify once she's out on her own, i don't know how that works) or any other type of assistance. she said she was told section 8 is backed up or something, so that's a no go. and she is on waiting lists at apartments for as long as a year. Any suggestions?

I've never been to one. I don't even know where one is near us. I've only seen one near cumberland mall on my way home.

I think it depends on each individual child....if they are ready for that or not. My husbands mother go mad at me once because I wouldn't bring my then 1.5 year old to a funeral to "say good bye" to someone he'd seen twice ever. **he wouldn't recognize her, know what was going on, or to say good bye." He was my first child and at the time I didn't feel comfortable with it. Now, I will take my children (almost 1 & 4), but I personally don't take them in to view why were there. not now anyway. It's whatever makes you comfortable with your children.

I don't think it was a judgement toward "women" in general. I think if there was a male teacher there it would have been the same reaction from him. He's a good kid, he's going through a tough stage right now. He has been placed with older kids and I think he is learning things from them and trying to impress them.....Until he finds out mom and dad are less than impressed. after talking to him yesterday, I think he said "twit" not "B****" but coming out of his mouth, i can see how someone could mistake that. I called the teachers and asked if they thought that may be what he said and they s

YOU ASSUME that i don't reward him. He is rewarded with positive behavior. I always let my son know how well he's done. I also punish him every single time he does something bad, i never let it slide, Even if I'm so sick or so tired...I will find the will to get up and be sure he understands what he has done. And I don't just shout and hit. we sit down and talk about what he did on what i think is a 3 year old level. I make sure he understands what is going on the best i can. The punishment depends on the level of the "offense" I guess i would call it.

I really like this idea. Thank you!!

I think he will, he remembers everything. Anytime he does something bad, the first thing he does when i walk in the door in the afternoon is tell me what he did. He's always told on himself.....even when no one was there to witness what he did wrong Thank you, i hope your sons tantrums pass too. any luck with him going to sleep on his own yet? being a mom is the most beautiful thing in the world, but it can be the most trying thing at times as well.

Hubby says hot sauce seems to be mean. Lemons and Soap will leave a bad taste in his mouth, but the hot sauce will hurt. and he doesn't want to do the lemon thing because of his teeth enamal (which i think wont be an issue if only done once or twice). He is scared to do the soap too. now it's getting hard to agree on a punishment.

I just may have to break down and do it, I have plenty of johnson's and johnson's at home. It just freaks me out! hubbs just told me he didn't like the lemon idea because it would ruin the enamal on his teeth, which i didn't think about. (i'm sure once or twice would do the trick though)

Someone at work suggested sucking on a lemon to me. I think I'll give that a try today. He should be up from his nap and they are supposed to call and let me talk to him.......... I still can't believe he freakin said that!

Creative... I like it!

How old was your lil one when that happend?

Thank you for posting that.

I have. at this time they don't think anything is abnormal. I was concerned with his temper tantrums when he was two(which have significantly decreased thank goodness) and they said it was normal. I have had a couple of conversations with them since then just to be sure, and have been told it's normal.

We don't say things like that in front of him. We stopped a long time ago. We have our own language at home....we use substitute words. Like if hubby wants to say something is Bad @$$, he just says B-A. Now we have occasionally slipped up around him, but he knows better than to repeat. When he was two he heard someone say SH**. so he said it while he was playing one day, got up, started to cry, and told me what he said. (who could be mad at that?! )

I agree on the amount of time in time out. I try to make it as short as possible. But sometimes (not always) he throws the biggest flippen hissy fit. I wont let him out until he stops. it's probably 10% of the times that he has been in time out that it lasts more than 5 min. Liquid soap has always made me nervous, so i was thinking about maybe a couple of drops of lemon juice. I know even as an adult that would make me stop doing a lot of things I hate that stuff! Todays instigation.....the teacher tried to make him eat his beans at lunch of all things! He's not always this bad...

I might give the soap a try. It's always made me a little nervous so I was thinking about lemon juice.... because he like certain programs and movies i can't stand to watch one more time. so i let him watch some of them in his room. Or when he has his cousins over to spend the night, they like to watch a movie before bed. I had one in my room growing up, I just never saw anything wrong with it. thanks for the suggestion.
