Have a bone to pick with my babysitter, but maybe I'm making too big a deal-what do you think? I have my kids toys very organized by how they play with them-trains and tracks in one bin, cars and roads in another, animals and the farm in another, games and books on the shelves, etc. etc. When I come home after she's been with them, everything is in a pile on the floor all mixed up. She never bothers to ask them to clean up and when she cleans it up she just throws itall in the bins mixed up. She literally just throws puzzle pieces into any bin she sees and me and the kids end up sorting them out over the weekend. I have explained out organization system for toys and that its hard for the kids to play with everything when they can't find what they are looking for. I also encouraged her to encourage them to clean up periodically. That had no effect on her. Should I even bother? Am I making too big a deal? [ Reply | More

[ - ] Which Maclaren stroller would you buy for a 3 1/2 year old - Techno or Quest - to replace my broken Techno? I have an older version of the Volo already. Techno has a better sunshade and bigger wheels (so it may be easier to push) but Quest is lighter (so it is easier to lift and maybe to push). 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

What do you think the ped is going to tell you? To give her gatorade? Just give her some formula NOW and you might save her being hooked up to an IV in the emergency room. Don't be daft.

In short, it's just not a life. He makes lots of money, but is controlling about it. Will now, for the first time provide a joint account (and he will contribute "significantly" more (that's his words) to household expenses, because I have one foot out the door.
