  1. I absolutely love my laminate floors. I always use peroxide, water, and Lysol cleaning solution and I SOAK the mop before I use it but I always dry my floors with towels to keep them from streaking. My parents do the same with their floor and have had no problem.

  2. I've called several times since moving into a subdivision. Once when my neighbor was out of town and the same car parked in front of her house on two separate occasions , once when I heard a woman screaming (that time, I could only tell them the direction it was coming from, not an actual address but they came out and found the woman), once when I heard a lot of yelling and there were about 30 teens in a fight, twice b/c my neighbor's front door was standing wide open during the day when they weren't home. If my gut says something isn't right, I'm going to call. I've called about children not being buckled in because I can't stand the thought of an innocent child being hurt and me just ignoring it because "it isn't my business". I know that officers get silly calls. My BIL is a paramedic and he's gotten some odd calls too, but that's just part of his job and he knows that.

  3. Send her to grandma and grandpa's house at bedtime every night. :lol: I'm just kidding but I do remember my kids going through stages like this. I remember thinking with the twins when they finally started sleeping all night at about 9 months old that I would not have to worry about this again - I was wrong. When they were about 2 1/2 they would lie in their cribs every night and laugh at each other and wouldn't go to sleep. We finally had to put them in different bedrooms. I remember our daughter going through periods where she didn't want to go to sleep at bedtime too.

     

    I know it is very frustrating for you as it is probably your bedtime also and you are tired. Hang in there as it will get better.

     

    :lol:

    She does GREAT at her Seece and Pop's house b/c Seece (my mom) likes to stay up late and Emily hangs with her until my mom's bedtime. :rolleyes: I, on the other hand, like to have some quiet time before I go to bed and I don't like to stay up too late.

     

     

    Thank you all for your advice. Even if YOU didn't feel like it was helpful, just knowing that it's ONLY a phase is VERY helpful right now.

  4. Is she ill during the day like she is not getting enough sleep? My middle son does not need much sleep. He never has and to put him to put early was a waste of everyone's time. If she is not ill during the day, I would let her stay up unitl 8:30. She may just be getting older and not need as much sleep.

    I have 4 kids and they are all different, even now about how much sleep they need.

     

    Good luck!!!!

     

     

    You're probably right. She's usually in a fantastic mood all day.....at least until about 7ish.

  5. MY KID NEVER SLEPT ...SHE LOVED TO WATCH THE TONIGHT SHOW...SHE IS STILL THAT WAY ...SHE IS 35

     

     

    My grandmother says my mom never slept and my MIL has told me that my husband didn't sleep much either. Maybe she just doesn't need sleep? If that's the case, she and I couldn't be more different.

  6. By seeing your name first time mom I am assuming that she is an only child. ( forgive me if I am wrong there).

    What time do you try and get her to sleep? Maybe if you stayed with her until she feel asleep or left a night light on? I have many children so the being scard because of being all alone is not there. But my two year has been saying he is scared of monsters ( cause his big brothers find it funny to tell him they are upstairs). I don't really know what to tell you but to TRY and be patient maybe it is just a phase she is going through and will out grow it soon. I am sorry for this useless information.

     

     

     

    She is an only child and she is very good at it. :p We try to get her in bed between 730 and 8. My husband and I have tried alternating nights lying down w/ her but she seems to think it's playtime if I am in her room so it's been up to him most every night. He says he doesn't mind since he's away from her all day, I just feel bad that he has to do it every single night and i wonder what the heck I'm going to do when he goes out for the night with his buddies. Sorry for rambling, I'm just so confused.

  7. Has any major changes happened in her life lately? Not sure how old she is but if she still takes naps during the day -it could be time to stop those.

     

     

    She's 3, she doesn't nap anymore, AND she's usually up before 7. :wacko:

     

     

    And there haven't been any major changes, but she has started saying that she's scared of everything (when she's being told to do something she doesn't want to do)!

  8. I feel like I'm about two steps away from going crazy. Our daughter, who has always been a great sleeper, has suddenly decided that she "can't" go to sleep. Bedtime has never been a big deal. Our routine has always been dinner, bath, pj's, books, lights out. While she may not have *wanted* to go to bed, it's never been an issue. Bedtime is now a big freaking nightmare! My husband and I have not been consistent because we don't know WHAT to do so I know that that just makes it more confusing and more difficult for her. Please, if you have been through this I need your help! Thanks!

  9. If you guys are talking about the boy who has long black hair and kinda dresses goth or whatever you want to call it....it's not him! We actually know him.

     

     

    Yeah, he's a really nice guy. He always speaks when he's walking by our house and is very friendly. I was really hoping he wasn't the one everyone was talking about.

  10. My heart is just so broken right now I cant stop crying :( my dh just carried him out and blood is still just dripping like crazy.

    Fred has not been our easiest pet bc of some issues he was having with our baby but we came up with a solution that worked and bc of his personality he has occupied a lot of my time so obviously im very attached to him and i will be so lost if something happens to him :( Please just cross fingers/pray/send vibes....I just dont think it looks good right now :(

     

     

     

    I am a very kind/caring person but I do have my breaking point and you know right now you have hit it :angry: most vets do not take payment plans so its not that easy, next I have four kids I have to consider as well, then I had to wait for my husband to stop saving lives to come h ome so that he could help me get fred out from under the shed....he is on his way to the vet and I am on pcom bc I have many friends on here that are kind and help me out in so many ways so to assume Im sitting on pcom doing nothing while my dog is possible dying is not only wrong but insensitive.

     

     

    :clapping: The ones who actually READ the entire thread knew your plans and the ones who know you know that you weren't just sitting on the couch watching your dog suffer. I'm sorry about Fred and I hope everything works out for the best.

     

     

     

  11. Isn't it great to have a calm neighborhood?? Even if it is just for one day :(

     

    Mom1993 and I are neighbors and it's pretty quiet here all the time. What kind of things are happening in the neighborhood that we aren't hearing about?
