DLBK replied to mcglory13's discussion 'For all the many folks with more than one child...'

"I'm an only child and have always wanted siblings, so I always thought I'd have two kids so they could have each other. Also, I really wanted a daughter and my first is a boy--of course, my second is also a boy. I am not ready to give up…"

DLBK replied to Herasmus B. Dragon's discussion 'This one's for the ladies...'

"I'm in my mid-thirties, but for the past few years I've noticed that I get very moody and easily sad for the week before my period. Even if I don't keep track of my period I'd be able to tell when it's coming due to the mood…"

DLBK replied to rommie's discussion 'Yes, my son plays with dolls.'

"Same here...I love playing with dolls, and my son has no interest at all. He's recently decided that his second favorite color is purple, and I'm having a hard time finding him purple clothes. "

DLBK replied to kommishoner's discussion 'Nighttime Potty Training?'

"My son just turned 4 and he's been free of night-time diapers for 4 months. We went on a vacation last November and realized that he stayed dry for the entire week, despite not doing so at home. At Christmas time we told him that there would be…"

DLBK replied to Mommy Monster's discussion 'So...the recent war on women's health...I have a question'

"Interesting topic and interesting replies. I also support a woman's right to end a pregnancy at any gestational age and for any reason. I have to admit that I'd be very uncomfortable with someone ending a healthy, viable pregnancy in the…"

DLBK replied to bap2's discussion 'The "What's Wrong with My Kid" Puzzle'

"I agree with everyone else. Switch schools, especially after the doctor implied you should. The teachers and environment don't sound great at all and you don't owe them anything. Their evaluations sound (at least in part) ridiculous. Of…"

DLBK commented on guinnessgoddess's blog post 'Women please advise: tmi menstrual stuff'

"Sorry you're going through this. I don't have much advice; when I tried birth control pills the side effects drove me crazy--no sex drive at all and lots of spotting (after the initial 3 months of constant bleeding). The doctor just…"

DLBK replied to ruth's discussion 'Friends with Benefits and Gender Politics'

"She's definitely referring to oxytocin. It's released by both men and women after orgasm. Mila Kunis isn't an expert on oxytocin. She's talking non-sense."

DLBK replied to DreamCatcher's discussion 'Talking To The Doctor (Again!) Help!'

"I understand that being told you can't have kids the natural way is heartbreaking, but try not to despair. I know so many people who have had IVF with good results--me included! While IVF is no walk in the park, it's also not terrible and…"

DLBK replied to Zealflyer's discussion 'A reasonable grocery budget'

"We also spend about $200/week for the three of us, not including eating out (one meal/week perhaps). We buy lots of fruits and veggies, and they're expensive."

DLBK commented on rommie's blog post 'Finding healing'

"I sort of know where you're coming from. While I didn't have panic attacks, I would end up crying for half of my 45 min commute home a few times a month after my early miscarriage in 2010. I had gotten pregnant easily with my son and the…"

DLBK replied to SweetJudyB's discussion 'Computer suggestions'

"I absolutely love my Mac laptop. Personally, I never want a desktop again. However, I don't know how to get a Mac in your price range, they're certainly not inexpensive."

DLBK replied to Daddy Geek Boy's discussion 'Gender'

"I'm coming to this discussion very late. It's very interesting to me. While I only have one child right now, I can tell you that his personality shows both masculine and feminine parts (as defined by our society). He's active and…"

DLBK replied to bethany's discussion 'The Thumb! The Potty! HELP!'

"I tried potty training at 2.5, and every bribe offered, sticker chart, books, etc, failed. He decided he was ready right before his 3rd birthday and he was in underwear with almost no accidents in one month. He's almost 4 and we just stopped…"

DLBK replied to ruth's discussion 'Obedience'

"I was married in the Greek Orthodox church and our wedding ceremony included the words "Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife. Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the…"
