    As I said above, no issues yet. The twins are the sweetest kids I have. For example, if I may boast for a moment, they're hoping to get on the soccer team at their school in a couple weeks, so they've started joining me for 6 AM runs. In the summer. They're asking us to take them camping...

    Alive is a definite. Legally sane is up for debate. To be truthful, I have amazing kids. Their greatest joy is to spend the evening with their parents (even the twins). I know that's going to change. Probably by tomorrow, but up to this point, I'm loving it.

    What are you on about? We are having an adult conversation. You've been asked to do that multiple times here. And what did anyone say that makes you think they are not serious? The parts that make you look foolish? Izo seems upset. However, I'm done talking to Izo. Not worth any time...

    Initially I had no problems. Made my own "baby food." Pureed veg and fruit. Never a problem. Once he's 3, the "I don't like started." It's a decision on their part, which requires stamina on the parents part. Be consistent.

    Nice. I'ma use that. When we're trolling each other, we generally say something like, "I'm going to poop in your shoes."

    Yeah, my youngest does that without trying it. Just looking at it, "I don't like it." and then the whole family sighs. Drives me bonkers.

    I have certainly used spanking, but it is so rare (probably 5 times total), that when it happens, it is memorable. It happens immediately at the time of the "crime," and then it's over. Immediate responses are important in building good habits, and associating repercussions with poor...

    I wish I had a solution. Well, I do, but it's huge amounts of oragel, and I don't want to get yelled at again. I've not had the bedtime trouble you have. A really, really regular routine helped me avoid it. I also didn't have two sharing a bed until sleeping patterns were well established...

    A couple of things: 1. my information is current, and I got it from three people who are certified doctors who deal with children's health every day. I'm going to go ahead and take their advice, if that's fine with you. As you said, not recommended without consulting a physician. I did...

    I have several friends who are doctors. They all said that you should feel free to use AS MUCH oragel as you want. It won't have any negative effects. That said, teething just sucks. Think about how terrible it must be for those poor kids, though. Can you imagine pushing teeth through your...
