11 Year Old Boys

I am just curious at things other 11 year old boys have done. My 11 almost 12 year old decided last night while he was taking a shower, in my shower, that he would shave the hair off his upper lip! He came downstairs with a little cut on his lip. I asked him why he did it, if he was embarrassed because he had a bit of a hairy upper lip (both my kids are pretty hairy, heck we are quite a hairy family!) His response was he didnt know why, he just wanted to try it. He also has been wearing the same pants almost everyday as well as his...

Dealing with Colic

I have a 3 week old daughter who according to the doctor has colic. She has a very distended abdomin, cries endlessly especially at night, passes gas and poop ALL day long but has alot of pain, sleeps for short time frames and wakes up crying even screaming. I have stopped obvious foods and dairy from my diet as she is breastfed. Have tried colic calm gripe water and gas drops which don't seem to be helping. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

14 Year Old Thinks Rules Too Strict - NO MORE RESPONSES PLEASE. THANKS for ALL!

The rules she disagree with are as followed: My daughter can only attend two outings per month. Note: This includes things like going to the movies, hanging out at the mall, birthday parties, etc. This also includes spending the night away from home. My daughter thinks she should be allowed to do more each month and...

10 Year Old Defiant Son

I am so desperate for any advice from other parents of 10 year old boys. My son is not at all respectful of my discipling him, he doesn't care what I threaten him with. He is afraid if I say I am going to go get dad though. I just don't know what to do to get him to understand that what I say goes. He also says he doesn't care if he fails his classes, although we have treatened punishment and offered incentives to doing well. He will do good one week and the next doesn't care. I guess I would just like to know that there are other moms out...

Severe Separation Anxiety

Hello all, I have a 23 month old daughter who just cannot seem to get through a severe case of separation anxiety. This child is one of the happiest, easy going kids we have ever been around, so it always surprises us how difficult of a time she has when we leave her at her daycare even if it is only for an hour! I have been trying it for about 2 months now...we are trying to be more consisitent but it is hard because we are in Central Oregon a lot. So I really try and get her in "school" when we are home and I feel very comfortable...
