sorry, went away for a while. If you're still watching--- basically, I don't think the schedule is well thought out, there's too much free play w/o direction, and the director is anti-academic (as opposed to just non-academic). I'm really not thrilled [ Reply | More

[ - ] We have to leave our children with a babysitter that we've never met to attend my brother's wedding. The sitter was chosen by his mother in law to be. The kids can either stay at the hotel with the sitter, which about 8 miles away from the church and reception, or come to the reception and wait in a house nearby, so we can check on them, but they'd have to ride to and from the reception in a van and not in their carseats.

Neither of these sound like the right answer to me. First of all, can you meet the sitter before the wedding day? I take it there has been some security screening or something, otherwise, no f-ing way at all I'd leave the kids w. this person. Could the kids and sitter come to the reception, and then kids go up to bridal suite w. sitter when they're tired? Or if you leave them at the hotel, dh should drive back (8mi not so far) and check on them. No riding in a van w.o carseats, tho, sorry. Can you rent carseats at the location and go to the place where the van is coming from and install them before the wedding? Also, not so hard installing them at the end of the night. [ Reply | More

I may take the unpopular position here - but I think that its not such a big deal to drive in a van without a car seat under these circumstances. I would go with that option. [ Reply | More

if the carseat is such a big deal, can you get special dispensation to drive your car to the reception? Then just do the leave them with the babysitter at the house option. Oh - and if you aren't comfortable with leaving them with a sitter you/they've never met, arrange to meet her before the wedding. [ Reply | More

Usually parents (including me) are pleasantly surprised how well one of the kids sleeps through the other's waking up. No idea what to do if they're really waking up each other. The only "trick" I have is to never put them to bed at the same time. I wait until the younger one is sleepign before i put the older to bed. [ Reply | More

Yes (I'd lost before once with WW and once b/c of stress, but then always gained some back). I started counting calories (and researched how much I should be eatting) and exercised regularly (I had been exercising all along, but eating horribly, so I wasn't losing). It has been years now and I've kept it off (and lost after 2 PGs). I was going through a "transitional" time (new apt., new job) and was single (and not happy about it -- but also not sure that I wanted to date at that weight). I was turning 29 and something "clicked" and I told myself that this was part of being an adult. GL. [ Reply | More
