My god, why are all the ORs being such total a-holes? Take your life's frustration out on your kids or something. Sorry, OP - that sucks.

[-]What kind of markers for cancer can you routinely test for? Is it common to do it? My mom, who lives in another country, emailed me today that she did that test just to check. Guess what? Some things came positive. I can't ask her what because of time difference, but I am surprised. I've never heard anybody in the US doing this as a standard checkup (except when you have breast cancer in family or prostate). Does anybody know anything about it? Thanks so much.

it's "hun" (like attila), and though it does have some boarding students, it's more of a day school than a boarding school. decent school, but i wouldn't want my child boarding there ( i used to teach there)

[-]Repost to see what night crowd thought as I got into a small argument with one of the ORs: UB's constant bickering over asking guests to go barefoot was blogged (friend emailed me): http://examinedlives.typepad.com/examined_lives/2008/05/abstaining-from.html I kinda see her point ...

in my apt., we take off our shoes. i'm asian, and it's just what we do. dh is eastern european, and he enforces the rule more (bc i'm lazy sometimes and don't take off shoes.) we don't make our guests take off shoes, though. but, they see all our shoes stacked by front door and follow the lead.

[-]Help - I think I'm allergic to our new home! Never had allergy problems before, but it's been horrible since the move last Saturday - probably because of the dust - we had wood floors sanded and demolished and replaced basement ceiling. I know nothing about allergies - will I get over this? Or will I have to move again

[-]Help. I'm going crazy with the nap situation. 6 mo ds won't nap for more than 30 min (if I'm very lucky I'll get 45). It takes me more time than that to get him down! Please tell me this gets better! Who are these mommies who's dbs nap for 2 hours? I'm so jealous!
9 replies [ Reply | Options ]great napping often doesn't happen until they go to one nap a day - my dd was a 30 minute girl until she went to one and then napped 2-3 hours every day (about 18 months)
[ Reply | Options ]it definitely gets better. my db's naps consolidated around 7 mos. 2 things you can try: (1) as soon as db starts to wake, go in and shush her back down, so she goes back to sleep. eventually she might get the idea. or (2) let her CIO till she sleeps longer. Or, (3), just wait and it will be better! GL.
[ Reply | Options ]You are me two years ago. It got a lot better around 9 months, then just after 1 year. Now DD is 2.5, sleeps 2 hours in the afternoon.
