I got pg with #1 becasue I was so afraid I couldn't get pg after 10 yrs of an IUD. I regretted it immediately (hated being pg) Now she is the love of my life. I was reluctant to have #2 but bowed to pressure from dh. He is my soul. Years later I became impassioned to have #3 in my 40's. He's 7 and we're very happy. I don't know what you can learn from this but it's my story! [ Reply | More

[ - ] My two year old just had a tantrum because she wanted to be carried home from the playground. She banged her head on the concrete and gave herself a big bruise on her head. She did this twice before I relented and carried her home. She was so angry she was shaking. Is this normal or does she need professional help? 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

my 18 mo gets like this... it is very difficult, b/c I don't want her to hurt herself... I have actually ducked during her tirades! I heard my husband was "intense" as a child, so I am thinking she will grow out of it if in fact it becomes anything beyond normal toddlerdom... [ Reply | More
