[ - ] I think I'd liek to get my doctorate in women's studies. Would I be the only straight white married mom (over 40) in the program? Good ideas for a post doc career? 1 Reply [ Reply | Watch | More

[ - ] First baby coming soon. I am sure all our friends are going to want to come meet him/her ASAP, but many of our friends have kids around 6 months old. Should we try to discourage other babies (not related to us) in the apt for a while for DB's health? I don't want to offend our friends of course... What's the best approach here? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Just tell them you are not up to visits yet. I totally agree with you. All of my friends with kids visited without them for a few minutes after the baby was a month or so old. My first child was very sick, so I think everyone got used to being careful and was like that with our others. [ Reply | More

I hope you don't have friends who are STUPID enough to bring their sick kids to your home no matter when. I hate when ppl do this. I have 2 dds and never once visited a friend with her newborn while bringing my own dc along. I always leave the kids home. I know someone who posted a note on the door, please do not enter if you are sick..also please wash hands before touching baby. I wouldn't do that but I do tell my family to wash hands before handling the newborn [ Reply | More

I'm bad, but I don't think that you should feel obligated to send a gift unless they are family or close friends. I think it's silly that just because someone invites you, it means that you have to go out and spend $70 on them. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Went to a family gathering over the weekend and was really floored by the actions one married in family member took against my son. Wondering if its typical. She is the mother of a married in cousin. She got really nasty with my 2 yo son who was trying to take a toy from her grandson. I was coming over to intervene and I saw this lady grab my sons arm very rougly and rip the train out of my son's hand and yell at him "Give it to him!" When she realized I had arrived because I asked my son to come over to me so we could chat, she started petting my son on the head and said to me "Öh, no, its ok, they have problems with sharing at this age."

you really should have told her something. Your son is too young to say something. When my dd was 2yr old, a mom in a 2's class we were taking did this to many kids. Their moms never told her anything but the minute she took my dd arm, I put my hand over hers and said to her...I wouldn't touch my dd that way if I was you. Bitch never did it again [ Reply | More
