it's the worst time of day for my 20 mo ds and always has been. takes him at least 30 min to snap out of his mood, always crying involved. have to say, if it's a long nap he's much better, he's sorta consistently tired [ Reply | More

I had serious damage with first and certainly should have had a C section. Had a crazy nurse midwife at an HMO and they made me push 9 hours. Had 2 more dcs and neither did any more damage at all, and the deliveries were incredibly easy. Really, arrived at hospital and delivered less than 2 hrs later both times. Tiny tear both times with 2nd and 3rd deliveries, both healed very quickly and had no more probs. The first time my body continued changing for 2 years (it took that long to reach a point where it would not heal any more). For the 2nd and 3rd it took maybe a week or two, but I could barely tell. My guess is the damage is done already and now you get to have easy, relatively painless deliveries with no additional damage. GL to you! [ Reply | More

My kids are not old enough for camp yet. However, when my brother and I went to camp, my parents tipped counselors. I can't imagine that times have changed that much in the money department (except for how much you tip). I don't think you should feel obligated every counselor. If dc really enjoyed the science class and really liked that specific teacher then tip him or her too. [ Reply | More
