Csperal replied to The Oracle's discussion 'Get Off My Lawn'"I think using the baby excuse and schedules might be a winner-the "we have really appreciated the help, but we want to take it from here, so's to not cause issues with sleep patterns..." -you could also say its your only exercise, and…"
Csperal commented on JTX's blog post 'Holy Crap. In Which I Have No Social Skills'"my question...did the mom ever call to set up the play date, or did she fulfill the obvious, that she's "above it all" and can't function around normal people?"
Csperal replied to Egggirl's discussion 'Naked House'"The Dster at this point just tries to push me off the toilet when I have to hit the loo....however, we try to keep her out of "arm's reach" when dad hits the john, only so I don't have to put her in the shower before she has…"
Csperal replied to kommishoner's discussion 'Drooling.'"Dbomb has 7 teeth, and we are learning when she hits Alien level of drooling, that one is coming in...so if he's not gotten all of his, could be that, if he has, then Ruth has good advice, might want to just make sure all is well-"

Csperal commented on Csperal's blog post 'Sisterly Love'"Mamawho, I can totally say you nailed it with the criticizing me vs. talking about Devin! She's done that to me all my life and I honestly don't think she even realizes she does it any longer. Fortunately, I can tell when she's been…"
wookie commented on Csperal's blog post 'Sisterly Love'"I take the road of smile, nod and listen for my name and otherwise tune it out completely.
Kanachick had an awesome comeback for those "in your back" ones:
"I know you didn't mean that the way it sounded.""
"Oh, and from the examples you've provided, she's not really talking about your kid or even your parenting. She's criticizing you, but doing it from an angle of concern about you and/or your child, so she has a defense if you call her…"
"Find another relative, like a cousin, that you can distract her with gossip about. I'm kidding! Kinda.
She's going to say these things. You can think ahead about what you want to tell her, or just refuse to take the bait. Maybe a standard…"
Kristi commented on Csperal's blog post 'Sisterly Love'"My top phrases to use with people who give me unwanted or weird parenting advice:
Huh. Never heard that before, I'll have to go look it up.
Really? (you usually have to say this a few times as they keep piling on the crap)
Wow- you've…"

Csperal commented on Csperal's blog post 'Sisterly Love'"I don't mind advice....lectures not so much. I love her, but she doesn't have kids, and tends to use friends' who are parents, who I don't know and her experience with her first husband's family's kids as a reference…"
mcglory13 commented on Csperal's blog post 'Sisterly Love'"Hmm... in my family I basically raised my younger sisters because my parents worked all the time. What a fun childhood I had, Mom and Dad! It is hard for me to turn off the years of training where I was responsible for them and their choices. I have…"

spring has sprung, at least for a day or so, just in time for the D to get another tooth-it seems like the teeth are getting a tad bit easier for her, this one just sort of appeared-we knew something was brewing, in that her drool had hit predator status sans the acid, which is good, as we have wood floors-
