3 Year Old Son Refuses to Potty Train

Hi, my 3 year old son does not want to potty train. We started training when he was 2 1/2 and I never pushed it then and now we're approaching 3 1/2 and he freaks out when I mention going on the potty. He can pee, but has only gone #2 a handful of times which were absolutely at my insistence and pushing. I talk about it daily to him but he just gets upset or unruly. We moved twice last fall and his world was turned upside down and I really think the instability has set him back a bit. But we've been in our home now 2 months and we're...

4-Year Old Sleepover with Grandparents

Yesterday my husband, two kids, and I went to visit my in-laws an hour away, and toward the end of the visit, it was suggested (without asking my husband or me) that my daughter stay the night, and as we loaded the car to leave, my daughter was upstairs picking out which bed she was going to sleep in. Neither of our kids (4 and 2) have slept over anywhere without us, and I know to some that's strange, but when both my husband and I were young, grandparent or other family sleepovers were done out of necessity, and certainly there was more...

Pet Sitter or Pet Boarding?

We're going on a summer vacation vacation and trying to decide whether to board our cat or use a pet sitter with it in our house or keep it outdoors. Last year when we went on a long vacation(driving from TX to CA) we kept our cat at home. I had my FIL feed the cat in the morning, and a neighbor check on it once in awhile in the evening. It disappeared a few days before we got back, got bitten by something, resulting in weeks of recovery, vet bills, etc. As an outdoor cat, we're not sure how it would react to being in a small cage for...

No Extended Family Around!

Hello! Any other mom's out there living without any extended family around? Just looking to vent and for friendly advice. Husband's parents are in another country and my parents are in another state. We don't even have any other extended family around, ie... aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters. It kinda gets me down in the dumps. I envy the parents who can go out on a date and drop their child at grandma's & grandpa's for a couple of hours! We'd love to get a babysitter, but don't really know anyone well enough to trust watching our child. ...

Family Vacation for Single Mom

I was wondering if anyone has ideas / suggestions for taking a family vacation with my two boys (ages 8 and 3). I am recently separated but I don't want this to deter me from giving my kids experiences including having a great vacation. The problem is that I've never traveled alone with the kids and I'm not sure what would be a good vacation that is not only safe but one that I can manage both kids on my own. Thanks in advance!

3 Year Old Very Picky Eater

Im just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. My son is now so picky with eating. He used to be the perfect eater and now for the last year or so there are very few things he will eat. I can hardly get any meat or veggies in him. I dont allow junk food and work hard to make sure he has healthy options but other than peanut butter the only protein he wants is chicken nuggets. he doesnt even want many fruits. bananas are about it. he loves milk, yogurt, cheese, bread but not much else. Help im at my wits end!!!!
