Preventing blows

Even though our little one is doing much better at night now that he no longer has his days and nights mixed up - nights are still challenging with a newborn. Waking up every 3 hours can do crazy things to a person. Although things are going much better now than they were a week ago, nights are still trying on my husband and me. We're no longer cursing at each other as frequently - but there are times that I'm definitely shorter with him than I'd like.

So my question is to veteran moms out there - how do you prevent coming to blows with your husband during those middle-of-the-night feedings?

Got an Angry Child or Teenager?

I've been perusing The Heart of Anger - Practical Help for the Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children by Christian author and family counselor Lou Priolo. He'll be the featured speaker at CHEC 2008 the Coastal Home Educator's Conference May 30 - 31. I'm flinching just reading some of the chapter headings like Angry Kids, Provocative Parents, Disrespect & Manipulation, Discipline: What it Really Means. I guess because I talk with so many moms while we're out at gymnastics, music, field trips, etc., and many of them are dealing with angry kids or teens, I'm telling them about CHEC. Mr.

birth announcements

I'm looking for ideas on cool birth announcements. Any ideas of cool stores, web sites or ideas for our little boy's birth announcements? My husband and I both want something unique and I need something that's relatively easy.

Thanks in advance!

Family Neighborhoods

We will be moving to HHI/Bluffton area late this year. Can you all recommend the family friendly neighborhoods? We've looked at a few, but really want to know which ones have a lot of full-time families living there.

Thanks!

a cool family project, really

Usually I hate magazine articles about fun crafts to do with your kids, because they sound complicated, time consuming and expensive. But I read one about doing a family diary that sounded fun and easy, and it has become a big focus in our household, with surprising consequences. Our family diary is a large sketch book that I bought at Michael's. A few times a week I write in it — entries about my kids activities, family events, outings etc. My kids, 4 and 6, draw in it and write messages too. When art projects come home from school, I use a glue stick to paste them in the family diary.

What a special day

Today is my first Mother's Day - and what a special day it was. Both my mother and mother-in-law were here to share this with us. Cole was such a good little boy today and gave even went back to sleep so his mom could enjoy her mother's day lunch with the rest of the family.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you in the Mom2Mom community. How did you celebrate your special day?

To all mothers

I know this is a few days early - but who knows when I'll be on the computer again.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Even though I always knew being a mother was a special job - I obviously had no idea how true that was until I became a mother myself 4 weeks ago today.

Being a mom is by far the hardest job I've ever had - and yet of course, the most rewarding. Our little one is battling acid reflux, although I'm hoping with this new prescription that we'll get it under control and can start some what of a normal family life.

Reasonable and safe daycare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I just recently moved here from NY and have been job searching! We are starting to get interviews and need to start researching daycare! I am looking for realiable and reasonable daycare and safe of course! With all the controversary now adays about daycare and shaking baby syndrome-it really scares me! Anybody have any ideas?

Acid Reflux Help?!?!?

My kid is only 4 weeks old and his mom and I think he may have acid reflux. He sometimes gets fussy at feeding time and spits up almost after every meal and during the middle of the night in his bed. We've heard a little bit about acid reflux in babies, but need some more info.

How do you cure (or subdue) it?

Thanks for feedback!

123-Magic

I was wondering if anyone has tried the 123 Magic system for discipline for children 2-12. The pediatrician recommended it to me for my 2 year old. I just read the book, but haven't started it yet...waiting for Daddy to read the book as well so we can do it together.

I'd love to hear some success stories. Thanks!
