    I’m buying presents for an angel tree child and I have questions about the LOL Surprise Dolls on her list - please help?

    Okay here are my questions: Are “L.O.L OMG Surprise dolls” the same thing? There is an “Lol surprise” smart watch - is it worth $60? Would an 11 year old enjoy it? Do they need to have an smartphone or any other device or accessories for it to function? There are so many variations of this...

    Z=S

    As far as names go, what are your general thoughts on using "S" names, but then substituting the S for a Z, while still using the same sound. I've suggested this a couple times, but SO isn't sold (hasn't said no yet, though).

    How do you approach the stupidity that is Daylights Savings Time?

    Fall Back helped us get her in bed at our ideal time of 7:30. Last Spring Forward she was 3 months old and going to bed way too late still anyway. At 15 months old, there is no rationalizing or explaining. What are you doing? I figure we’ll start her in the middle at 8 (current bedtime is...

    How do I survive living in an apartment with a 2.5 y/o

    This afternoon my downstairs neighbor came up to tell me my daughter is too loud and that she is almost in tears over the noise. She brought up her bag of ear plugs and said they aren't working and that apparently we set off her cat motion detector. I know she can be noisey and I do my best to...

    what are your tactics for picky eaters?

    So my son will be turning 2 next month and he was a pretty good eater then suddenly became extremely picky. And more recently, the limited number of food he would like to eat became more limited because he suddenly doesn't like a few dishes anymore. One tactic I've tried is after heating up...

    Good modern children’s picture books?

    Howdy all! Not a parent here, I’m actually a college student. I’m currently taking a children’s literature course and we have to do an essay and presentation on an “unfamiliar picture book.” Essentially, a book we didn’t read as a child. The books we select are supposed to focus on more “modern”...

    Do you give your children medication (e.g. Tylenol) when they have a fever?

    I've seen more and more research on the benefits of not giving kids (or us adults) medication when they spike a fever and, instead, allow the fever to play its part and get them healthy again. I'm curious how many others take this "let it ride" approach.

    Hey guys, I'm 8 weeks, have had severe breast soreness and obvious constant digestive discomfort + food aversions since about week 5. Woke up this morning feeling complete lack of all of those symptoms, even avocado toast sounds appealing to me again. I only slept for 4-5 hrs last night and...

    My 14 y/o daughter’s first bf cheated on her while he was drunk and high (!!) on vacation. He’s also 14. Should I tell his parent what happened?

    I should say right away I know this is what happened because I monitor my daughter’s phone and texts. She is 100% aware of this and it’s the rule in our house until she can pay for her own phone. She knows that he was in an altered state, but it doesn’t bother her like the kissing 2 other girls...
