do you really think so? Salary is a minimum of $60K plus health benefits. That's more than a lot of my friends make! plus, the hours she quoted are about 55 a week and they are paying $60/hr for every hour over 50, so there is about $15k in overtime. I think the pay is excellent! and the youngest kid is 9, so it's all errands and stuff during the school day, and no housekeeping mentioned, so I bet they have a full time housekeeper. [ Reply | More

we have a great bike shop near us that gave us this advice that totally works ! Take the pedals off the bike and lower the seat all the way. This way DC "scoots" while using his feet and learns how to balance their weight on the bike. The pedals are just a distraction in this process. When DC can coast easily with feet off the ground, add the pedals back and VOILA ! [ Reply | More

Fake or a really pathetic guy. Our sex life is by mutual choice and for mutual pleasure. That includes some times of mutual masturbation or orgasm for only the one of the two of us who's initiating. Women need sex just as much as men do. One very odd thing about this board is the seemingly high percentage of women here who do not have satisfying sex in their marriages.

In addition, it turns out they were putting health issues on her record that didn'a actually happen. nothing serious. things like rashes or pale skin, supposedly did this so it could be claimed thru the insur as a medically necessary visit. is that standard? 10 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

i don't know what they did. i do wonder, tho, if that is part of the reason why the dr had such a problem sending the files out. there were quite a few times the support staff told me dd's file was on the main drs desk waiting for his go ahead. that he has to review everything bf it goes out. but he wasn't her main dr.

I suspect it's just incompetence, but since you are feeling angry, you can tell the insurance company about it and they can investigate for fraud if they think it's worth it. [ Reply | More

I was considering posting on Park Slope parents about it. Nothing accusatory, just an overview of what happened. [ Reply | More

[ - ] how much stimulation/play does a newborn need? i'm exhausted just feeding her and changing diapers. i do try to talk to her while i'm doing this, and play with her fingers. Is that enough? She's only 2 weeks old. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

you are coming off the hormones. honestly i had a super baby easy as pie, now @ 5 mos he is more demanding and i cán't get work done. at 2 week point you are perfect if you are providing food, diapers and keeping the baby clean. hang in. she doesn't need anything more than your contact, she is learning from just being awake, listening, in the carrier, stroller --that's all she needs. you are doing great! REALLY! [ Reply | More

that's plenty. everything is stimulation to a newborn. light, sound, being awake. touch. it's great talking toher, letting her hear your voice, holding her, especially skin to skin contact. but sleep as much as you can. it's good for both of you. [ Reply | More

When a baby is two weeks old, EVERYTHING is new an exciting. Light, air, ambient noise -- everything! You don't need to "stimulate" her. [ Reply | More

She needs skin to skin contact, eye to eye contact, and some tummy time--that's it. [ Reply | More

Chapter books for read-aloud. My first DD loved the Little House series at 5. (My second not so much, so just buy the first book to test the waters.) My Father's Dragon is also great fun. Betsy-Tacy is great for that age, too. [ Reply | More
