Thanks Summer - the length of school day is not mentioned in either of my kids IEPs that I got for this year. (The placement letters are separate from the IEPs) It does explain which extra services th more »

I'm ready to ban Calliou - my DD has started whining in his exact voice (I don't WANT to go to bed!). And she pretends to be Rosie too. "Kitty pretty!" she yells in a whiny voice. It makes me totally more »

Forum Post: Tipping at a kids birthday party
Thanks Poppy. I did post about it both here and on my Mother of Twins board. No one said, "Run right back and pay those poor girls immediately you cheapo!" so I'm letting it go. If anything i'm tempte more »

Purplecow - you may be the most negative person who ever lived. No one is saying that the child is evil and the grandmother is dumb. My children are more than capable of telling stories to any care gi more »

Write it all down and hand it to her. "Mom - this is DD's schedule. If you don't follow it she's a nightmare in the evening and we can't get her down to sleep. Please don't let her con you into doing more »

We get our sand at Home Depot. Make sure you buy the bags marked play sand. You don't want builders sand. You can get it at Toys R Us too, but it costs 2x as much! It's heavy! If you have a wheel barr more »

I'll be interested to hear what a few others say - not that I don't trust your judgement. I actually feel that way you do. I got what I paid for, paid plenty for it and had no idea I would be asked - more »

KMMZ - I've cried over things like that too. I think we all lose our patience and get angry once in a while and regret how we handle it. I yelled at DD this morning and she actually said, "I hate it w more »
