    oomis – most of the working moms do not have nannies or full time babysitters. Cleaning help – yes (not all). I have always worked and mykids were on my schedule – I dropped them at the babysitter on the way to work and picked them up on the way home

    The best thing would be to talk to an adult and make an appt with a dr who can figure it out with you – you don’t want to have issues after you are married – it is better to work on it now. hatzlacha

    every women is different – there is no one answer. Just realize that a women is going through may hormone and bodily changes – there is no reason it should cause shalom bayis issues.

    I am sure everyone knows a story where the baby went into distress suddenly and only a c-section saved the baby. Yes there is a lot of interventions in the hospital but if you know what you want and discuss it with your dr you can do what you want unless it gets dangerous.

    here is out of town – lower school tuition – 13000 including building fund but without mandatory raffle/dinner ad (500 per child) selling plus scrip cards/shopping – $5000.

    Middle school is over 15000. there are scholarships but you still have to pay a nice percentage of it. We have a net income of about 55 and we pay over 11000 tuition.

    I would first check out Torah Umesorah’s website – chinuch . org – they have every type of lesson etc. Most people go there.

    If you want for the general public – try getting ads from places like Melissa and Doug, Lakeshore etc – other preschool geared companies and websites

    student – if you are going to wait until your child is telling you I need to go to the bathroom – in other words, training themselves, you will have to wait until 4-5 for many kids!! And it is very normal to have an accident a day for 1-2 weeks after they are officially trained.

    I’ve trained three boys all by 2 and 1/2 – the first few days will be a stress – don’t get stressed!!!

    Give him a lot to drink and sit as much as possible by the toilet (or take every five minutes)(I used a potty so he can be wherever I was – people either love it or hate it.

    It is going to take a few days no matter what – once you know that you won’t give up and once he is in underwear – he will probably have an accident or two per day for the first few weeks.

    The main thing is just be consistent and give it time – don’t try to do too much else at the same time – it never works.

    being quiet has nothing to do with not having friends!!!

    Will he talk to others at all?

    If yes, he needs a quiet girl who will appreciate him for what he is – not a loud girl. There are plenty of them. I have one who needs a shidduch with similar issues although she has plenty friends.

    In general shaitels get lighter as they are worn (sun exposure) – automatically if you wear a shaitel for a year it will be lighter than when you started so if you are wearing a shaitel for five years and want to get a new one you might not get one according to your original hair (which has gotten darker from being covered) but more similar to your shaitel now. That is one reason. It is also usually easier to find a blonde shaitel with more highlights which is automatically lighter unless you go the over 2 k route….

    You people are way too bored. Most of those people were blonde as girls – Should they become black after they got married? Some do get a little lighter but very few go from brown/black to blonde.

    Actually a wife is supposed to follow her husband’s minhagim besides for candles (the way or when to light) and hair covering. Obviously she can but those are the two things you usually follow the way the wife’s mother did.

    I am shocked at this thread. Are you planning the divorce of your child? So what = you gave a down payment. If you have an issue don’t give it. If you want to give it – give it without stipulations. I feel like I am reading through a goyishe novel.

    how do you expect a school to allow you to daven for an hour and a half? That means you are missing a full period per day (at least). Get up an hour earlier and daven and say tehillim during davening time.

    sms007 – tell your husband that you would like to have a husband until 120. There is a guy who lives in Monsey who was hit by a car while riding a bike without a helmet. He was in the hospital for months and is still not back to himself totally. he now goes around showing his scars to kids to get them to wear helmets. I’m sure there are many other stories.

    abcd2 – how can it be the same. most soups are basically veggies so you can make a huge pot of it for the price of a 2 lb. container takeout soup.

    There is nothing wrong with the book but I would not want my daughter to read it before she is at least 18 – Innocent Deceptions is about a girl with bi-polar but the family covers it up – they are very rich and are able to “buy” her a shidduch. THey end up getting divorced after she almost kills herself in a car accident and the husband goes into depression and their child ends up in foster care. The husband ends up liking the case worker and they get married. Something like that – not exactly for a young teen.

    Desperate deceptions – I did not think it was as explicit although I find these books a little strange – where every family has a major issue or cover up. It is a little too much but I also would not want a young teen reading it. there are enough appropriate books and magazines out.

    actually the first one – innocent deceptions was more “not to read”. I would never let any girl read it – I have a library and censor those books for the girls. But it is fine for women.

    there is a blood test to test the hormone – see if she is just a delayed grower. If not – you probably should think about some hormones. Ask your doctor – I have a few friends with kids who are two years behind in their bone structure/growth.
