[ - ] I need to leave the house at 7:20a and I don't get back until 6:45-7p. We have childcare in the evening/after school to help with laundry, dinner, bath for dc. DH walks DC to school for 8 and then takes off. He is usually home a little before me. Am now pregnant with #2 and feeling like it is going to be a looong haul. How do others cope with the long days and limited down time during the week? 1 Reply [ Reply | Watch | More ]

We have similar schedule, plus I travel, and had same comcerns when pg with dc #2. dcs are 4 and 9. Every day is a new adventure, but we've been making it work. Was not bad when dc #2 was a baby. Will get more challenging when dc #2 will have sports/other activities that will require way more time coordinate. [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] Disney World Scheme: Entitled Families Hire Disabled Guide to Bypass Lines. Now this is rich: Disney World is investigating news that a handful of upper-crust Manhattan moms have a pricey, secret way to get their kids to the front of the lines—and it’s not by bribing Mickey Mouse. Instead, according to the New York Post, the moms pay $130 an hour to hire a disabled, “black-market” guide, who uses her position—sitting in a motorized scooter—to help entitled families gain special access to rides. The bitches of Urbanbaby must idolize this piece of shit. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

I was compelled to reset my long-forgotten password to UB in order to log in an reply to this post. The OP is NOT fake. I live in a wealthy NJ town, and our close friends did this on a recent trip to Disney. So it is not an urban myth. They hired a disabled stranger who was "Uncle Charlie" for the day and got them to the front of every line. This family received the contact info for this person from another family in town who had also hired him on their trip. The guys name is in circulation among those in the "know," but I think he was originally found via Craigslist. And there are several disabled people who offer their services, so this is not a unique guy. Obviously Disney must be onto this scheme (seeing the same few disabled people every day with a new "family" but they look the other way. This is a VERY real story. [ Reply | More ]

I'm sorry, but do you all have a problem with a disabled person making a few extra bucks and actually getting something for their disability? This isn't the first system to get game'd and all this outrage does is take a few extra bucks out of their pockets. Who cares if some people want to pay a lot to move to the front as long as some people in need are benefitting? [ Reply | More ]

It's not acceptable either. Kids experiment at all ages. If you Think this doesn't have the potential to be a problem then it's quite clear you have been living in your insular world way too long. Step out and read the news every now and then. And yes believe it or not bad shit happens in well to do families too [ Reply | More ]

Unless this kid is really fucked up, I highly doubt he's molesting his 5 y/o cousin at night. If it makes you uncomfortable, then no, you shouldn't do it, but I don't see why it would. [ Reply | More ]

Wrong. He's not a kid in the same sense as a 5 year old. He's already going through puberty and has sexual urges. He's curious about his body and the possibility that he may experiment with your son is huge. Trust your gut and protect your son as his mother should. [ Reply | More ]

This would not bother me. So silly. My nieces and nephews all share beds with my kids on vacation, we play musical hotel rooms. They love sleepovers. People's minds go to some very strange places. [ Reply | More ]

It's amazing how the media loves to refer to kanye as Kim's baby daddy but when unwed Caucasus couples are having a baby that's not the title for them. racism is alive and well in American and UB. [ Reply | More ]

Commercial movies are very loud. I wouldn't take a child this young. Cultivate alternate sitters. There are hundreds of people who could do a good job taking care of your child for a few hours. [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] My daughter is about to turn two. She sucks her thumb ALL THE TIME. It's like a paci addiction, but there is no way to remove her thumb. I feel like a bad mom because I am trying to get her to stop and today I just got so frustrated because it was an obsession. She would just walk behind me, going "thumb? thumb? thumb?" and I would say "no, let's go play." And after about ten minutes of this, she just held her hands to her head and started BAWLING. I feel so bad. Should I just let her suck her thumb? It is constantly pruned and she has little bite marks on her thumb. What do I do? 21 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

Keep at it, and paint her thumb nails with bitter polish from the drugstore. She'll "bawl" here and there for a week or two and then be done with it. [ Reply | More ]

I really feel that it is starting to interfere in daily life. I know that sounds crazy but she'll try and do things one-handed because she needs her thumb. She tries building towers with only one hand, it'll fall over, and she'll flip out. I try to get her to do it with two hands and she won't. Otherwise, I don't know that I'd really care; it's just all the time. [ Reply | More ]

How much did you do it before 3? Was it all the time? Should I just go through this phase and hope it sorts itself out? [ Reply | More ]

I don't remember for sure. I do remember my older brothers trying to get me to stop, telling me I would need braces(( would just laugh). And people asking me what it tasted like. I think at a certain point, maybe 3 or so my mom told me I could only suck my thumb at night time. I don't know what she did to enforce that though. And the only thing that got me to stop at night was the presence of a full mouth retainer that I had to wear overnight. It was just extremely soothing to me. [ Reply | More ]

Stop her now. Find a way. I say this from 100% personal experience. I STILL suck my thumb and I'm over 40! I'm telling you it's an intense habit. I didn't even care that my boyfriend (who is now my DH) knew after only like 2 months of being together. I had to fess up because I just couldn't stop and do it in my sleep every single night without fail. It can be better than sex, chocolate or anything else you can think of. A total crazy addiction. It's the most comforting thing in the universe and I probably will never give it up now but that's why I say stop her asap. I wished my mom was more vigliant about it but she let it go after trying gloves, vaseline on thumbs etc. I love and I will not give it up for anything. It has also made my teeth and bite pretty messed up. I mean they don't look terrible but my teeth would have been so much nicer and I think my jaw is all messed up from it too (TMJ). Confession of the night. GL! [ Reply | More ]

I did this too as a child. Don't know until what age but I remember it so I must have been older. Then one day my mother took me to the dentist, who told me I should stop it, and I literally stopped right away. So maybe try that? [ Reply | More ]

You are causing more anxiety for her by making her stop. Thus making her want to suck more. She will outgrow it but as long as you give it so much attention it will only get worse. DS was a thumb sucker and outgrew it by 7. It was great having him self soothe himself. He was not a problem child at all. Was so happy and at peace with his thumb [ Reply | More ]
