    Confused and scared and well feeling like worst mom ever.......

    I would start right now, recording phone conversations (if legal in your state) and documenting everything. What the father is doing is called Parental Alienation. Fight for your rights!

    Anyone with IBS out there?...

    I've had IBS as far back as I can remember, but was only diagnosed with it about 10 years ago. The first thing my gastroenterologist said to me is "No, you are not crazy - you have IBS." I've been taking Bentyl for mine (as needed) and it was a heaven send for me.

    Santa Claus...

    I agree with this... I think shattering the magical fun of Santa Claus is worse. At the same time, during this time of year I do sometimes think to myself..."why is it ok to lie to our children at Christmas time?" It really is a unique and strange situation, this Santa thing. My ex-husband...

    Discipline!...

    If you are still uncomfortable with timeouts, another route to go is the theory that every behavior has a consequence whether it be good or bad. The trick is the match the consequence with the behavior. For example, if my daughter is grumpy and gives me a hard time in the morning getting ready...

    Anyone?...

    I was on it for about 3 years the last time. My system tolerates it wonderfully and it's my bc of choice. I have also heard horror stories, I think it really depends on the individual woman.

    I cannot force myself to do it....

    From what you have described, I personally wouldn't appreciate her behavior either. Although, the fact of the matter is that you are lucky enough to be old enough to get away from it, of course that is something YOU will have to decide to do and then actually take action. If you don't like...

    I need some google help (dog question)...

    That's what I was thinking too Lynette LOL When I first started Maggie on raw, she was getting to where she really just wasn't eating her kibble with much zest. (and she is a VERY food driven dog) Now she can't wait for her meals.

    I need some google help (dog question)...

    I usually feed to Maggie in whole chunks... but I will typically buy the beef in a large brisket or pork in a large roast (whatever is on sale) and cut into meal size pieces. Turkey I will buy whole and have the butcher cut into meal size pieces for me. If you do decide to feed raw, it is...

    I need some google help (dog question)...

    Cooked meats do not contain all of the nutrient and enzymes needed for a dog's diet. In a addition, bones that are cooked are brittle and can cause choking and intestinal blockages. Bones in a raw diet are important because they provide calcium as well as they help keep your dog's teeth clean...

    I need some google help (dog question)...

    I feed my dog a raw prey diet. I usually get the big bag of chicken leg quarters at walmart and then I just watch for the beef, pork and turkey when on sale. There is lots of good fishing in Texas, so I try to catch her fish... but when I don't I use canned fish.
