    So I gave him a light supper just yogurt and not so much as usual...

    when katie has similar problems before, my doc said for me to keep her off diary products, and to give her something plain like toast with minimal butter...?? obv, if E is still bf keep giving him that, but my doc said something about the lactose in the dairy? (not giving medical adivce - just my experiences! ;))

    i was thnking about both of you this afternoon! glad everyone is well! -- what about the car!???

    i had this argument with a friend - she is single, living with parents, i was just chatting and we started talking about money and jobs etc. i mentioned that i had worked out lotsa different situations, and i am currently btter off staying at home than i am going to work = she completely refused to believe me and now we arent really talking (a lot mre went on than what i just mentioned) but she rreally annoyed me. she hasnt got a clue about me anymore. im actually quite sad that ie lost a friend, but when i think about it, she was never actually there for me yada yada

    Aww one of the families on wife swap usa are evil! they leave their 10yo home alone so they can go to a fancy restaurant while he makes himself a tin of spag hoops or the like for tea and they don't even bother to get up in a morning he gets himself up and goes to school on his own :( poor thing is treated like a house keeper

    I used to be left alone in the house a lot from about 7+ upwards, from about 8/9 I was watching my sister too, she'd of been about 3. My parents didn't really give a crap, well they did about her of course. I was very grown up though but I didn't really have a choice about that. CHILD ABOOOOSE!

    I still remember playing outside at age 2! Used to knock on the caretakers door asking for breakfast at age 2 cause my mum was still in her bed sleeping, brought him a nice used condom once too :eek:

    here it is but I don't know about america :confused: from what is shown I'd be calling social services if it was here and I saw someone treating their child how they do!
