Weight

What is happening to America.  Everyone (exaggeration) is fat, obese or at least over weight.  It’s really sad that now models, magazines and clothing ads are all promoting this.  How is it we are all on a diet, but all still fat.  All the pictures in the ads about weight loss say “results now normal” [...]

Playpens

I never had enough money to buy a playpen when my boys were young,  I was so jealous.  I spent all my time running around chasing after wild toddlers running loose getting into everything possible, even somethings that were impossible.  I couldn’t take my boys anywhere because my house was completely baby proofed and everybody [...]

Beautiful Baby

I think my third son was the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.  I’m not being prejdiced or the only one who felt this way.  He’s now 15, 6′, tall and and lankey 180 lbs,  Doesn’t sound skinny, but trust me, he is like a rubber band and I don’t think he’s stopping at [...]

Baby Food

I’m old fashioned, but I think the only way to feed a baby is to nurse.  Cows milk is for cows and human milk is for humans.  I do realize there are cases when you can nurse, needing to take certain meds, inability to produce milk and a lot more.  But, even dumber, is beginning [...]

Time to play

I think kids should be kids, not computer IT wizards by the time they are 3.  Some of the mom’s I know have every educational toy every made, I guess hoping to have and Einstein or something,  Why can’t they just be little kids.  It’s like Christmas you buy a gazillion toys and the baby [...]

Kid Time

My kids are so lucky.  They got a step-father who loves them very much.  He never had kids, nor did he want them.  Actually, we found he just didn’t like dirty diapers and crying continually.  He came when my youngest was 5, and lo and behold, my new husband was also that same mental age [...]

Winter

It’s almost October and that’s when I start freaking out.  I love summer and shorts and sun and swim suits.  I don’t like cold or coats or sweaters.  I’m trying to find a place to live that’s warm all the time but not humid.  If I never see another pine tree I’ll be just fine.
At [...]

The Dreaded 2 am Feeding

Did you nurse?  If you did you had at least 1 or 30 2 am feedings.  I felt sorry for the men – I didn’t want to get up.  But getting up and holding my baby, just me and him in a blanket all warm and everything quiet was some of the best times of [...]

Affection

Basically, humans need human touch and affection even more than they do air.  Their are so many studies a bout babies from orphanages that were so full they rarely got held or shown any attention.  Many, many died and many became retarded.
I think that’s the basis of the needs of all of us.  Especially marriages. [...]

MADD

I went to a MADD (Mothers against Drunk Drivers) and was fairly supprised by their attitude.  I thought they would be throw backs from prohibition, but they are very open minded.  They don’t care about the drinking – they just want us to stay off the street and out of the car if we do [...]
