Big Brother. Also, the chip is only helpful if the cat is found. If your baby is found, it shouldn't be too hard to return him/her to you. Baby chips would do no good! [ Reply | More

We are working hard on this. Parents need to be eased into it though. We have been working hard on baby leashes -making them cute and fun and not-scary (like backpacks!). We'll work on muzzles for spunky boys next. Then microchipping. Just give us time. [ Reply | More

First child, we are all won over by the "use Dreft" propaganda. Later, we used regular detergent (by, like 6 mos) and washed his clothes sep. from ours. Second child, we just tossed her stuff in with ours from the beginning. (Though we do use All Free or Cheer Free.) Really, it's a question if you have detergent or dye or fragrance allergy in your family history. We do, my mom, but allergy genes seem to have died out with my generation. [ Reply | More

My dh is mostly wonderful (although when he displays the apple not falling far from that nutbag tree crap, he's not so precious). Db is only 5mo, but she does usually cry when MIL holds her. I think she senses MILs nerves and uneasiness. I know it's a little cruel, but I secretly smile when the little one starts up in her lap. And just so you don't start getting all sad for MIL, she's got no patience for db. As soon as she starts to fuss, or needs changing she screams "Take her!!" and shoves her back in our arms. A lovely woman, really. :/ [ Reply | More
