"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-"

"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…"

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-
