No wonder it is so simple for me then. I pay nothing at the time of my visit! I never heard of anyone in the states tipping the dentist. I have seen people send their OBs donuts or snacks for the office after delivering their child, but that is about it.

Please stop this diet. My uncle is young and was healthy other than carrying a few extra pounds, and he was very active. A heart attack later, he is unable to work and is on disability and is no longer able to run around and play with his kids or ride his horses, all over an anorexic diet that is touted as OK because you…

My pediatrician said that he could have up to 2 ounces a day of whole milk along with formula. So we will be giving him some milk in a sippy cup each day, but also some of the formula. I'll keep nursing him when I am home and at night until he is around 12-13 months. The issue with the milk is that it has too much protein…

How about instead of just telling her to eat more, look at that diary? Your diary is junk food, topped with junk food and dipped in junk food. You get very few nutrients in your diet, if you are truly logging what you eat. Eat some real, whole food for starters.

Yeah, life isn't fair. Nobody paid for my parent's college and they didn't feel they should pay for mine. To get the financial independence, I joined the military. After that, I was independent for tuition and got additional money from the military for school. This child is wrong and the lawyer friend is, well, I don't…

My three sons are very low on the weight percentiles, especially my oldest (who is 7 and eats like a high school football player). I tracked his calories for a few days and he eats around 3000 calories a day and is still around the 10th percentile for weight. He got the flu and I took him to the ER after about 10 hours…

I didn't expect such an interesting conversation about how many calories are in a strawberry.

At her height and weight, 1400 calories would not be enough for all the cardio and weight training.

You are going to need to either eat more, eat less, workout more or workout less. Without knowing your current calories in or out, that is as much help as I can give.

In... I hear ACG was cooking?

I go for walks at night and am not afraid - I even did that in downtown Baltimore when I worked there. I also was not raped. I even was able to get drunk in bars and not have any problems, even without being verbally and physically assaulted as you claim happens constantly. I proudly served my country, without any issues.…

Tell him to pay for a women's hair cut or women's dry cleaning prices instead of what they charge men. That should make him feel better.

Well, if only having to do it once is the measure of it working, time-out should only have to be used one time, or saying no only one time.....

You aren't the only one. There are days I am not sure I've brushed my teeth or hair, but I can guarantee I made sure everyone else was presentable. It is something to work on one bit at a time.

Slow and Steady

I'd suggest eating whatever you are using the cauliflower to replace.

Please? I didn't bring a lunch and now I don't have time to go get one...

There can be people with full time jobs that are very lazy and not accomplishing anything just as there are SAHM that stay home and get nothing done. If you think at all that everyone staying home with the kids is lazy, you haven't been around kids for an extended period of time. There is a lot to do. I am not a SAHM. I…

Ok, so, if you and your son are so against fruits and veggies, have you been tested for allergies? My son doesn't have any food allergies, but seasonally, there are fruits and veggies he can't eat. They cause a cross-reaction with his tree allergies. It is worth getting tested. Maybe there is more to the two of you…

Is this really a thread of people saying the same thing but trying to argue about how the other side is wrong?

That would for sure get me to lose some weight!

Yeah, except sometimes, it doesn't. With my third, I didn't have a postive test until the second trimester...

At that age in Michigan it is not legal to leave them unattended in a vehicle. If I left my kids, I don't think I'd have a car left when I came back.

I'm from Detroit.......

You didn't mention before that you felt like you were going to puke. You are right. That isn't normal and you should see a physician about that.

Perfect...LOL!

Yeah, but once you get into Michigan and anywhere north, we are all part Canadian anyway, Eh?

Sugar is sugar, but when you have some of the other forms of sugar, you get other nutrients that plain, white refined sugar doesn't give you. Molasses gives you added calcium and iron. maple syrup is a good source of zinc and manganese and also contains calcium and iron.

If your insurance company is confused when you call them, make sure to remind them that breast pumps fall under durable medical supplies in most cases and that is where they will have to look up your coverage.
