My son is 2 years old and 5 months, he has been diaper free for a week, his daycare teacher said he doesn’t use potty at school but the minutes I pick him up he wets his pants on the drive home, I am worried why he is afraid to use the bathroom at daycare. Any one can relate? I am worried.

I have mixed opinions. Obviously it’s important for any “parent” to finish school and at least get their high school diploma, however, I think schools (and society in general) are making it a tad too easy for little girls to realize their fantasies of having a baby when they are themselves, still a baby. I have heard children (and by children I mean kids from 13 to 17 years old) speaking about getting pregnant and how they are not at all afraid of the financial or physical responsibilities. One girl told me “It will be fine. My mom would LOVE to have another baby so she will babysit anytime I want to go out and I can just go on welfare and get free insurance and stuff.” Her school also offered a free daycare center in the high school and by the sounds of it, the kids just drop their babies off in the morning and go check on them throughout the day to show them off like baby dolls. On one hand, I realize the importance of having a high school diploma and how a free daycare in school can facilitate that for girls who find themselves in that situation. However, I think the whole world is just making it a little too acceptable and easy for kids to have babies of their own. (It’s sort of like the prison situation. Prisoners have more rights and in many cases, more amenities, than many hard-working Americans. So of course people aren’t afraid of the threat of going tot jail/prison). Maybe if we started making consequences a little more of an issue, we could cut back on both troublesome situations. What are your opinions? Try not to be too politically correct. I really want to know what people think.
(And to the teenage mom’s out there, I am not putting you down. I’m would hope you most of all would discourage another teen from going out and getting pregnant, right? You don’t have to regret your baby in order to admit you learned something from what you have/are going through.)

Our baby has just started daycare, and they provide formula, baby food, bibs, and blankets. They get a certain amount of formula from the government based on income of enrolled families (kind of like free and reduced lunch), so they provide it for all the babies. Is this pretty standard for most daycares? I realize that some of their expenses are built into the weekly cost (washing the bibs and stuff), but I was curious if this was normal or if we lucked out. Thanks!

I babysit a 2 year old potty training boy and a 4 year old girl. They are my second cousins and they both used to love me. But lately, the girl is getting very bossy and always says “your not my boss” and “Abby i dont like you” but then 10 minutes later she’ll tell me she loves me and she wants to do stuff with me. Is it just a stage or am i doing something wrong? Also, the boy is usually pretty good but he wants to be so independant. Is there anyway i can hold him back while letting him go? Like he wants to use “big boy” scissors but i tell him no because he still wears a “babies” diaper. I also want to start a daycare when in about 4 years any advice on that? I try to keep the kids i babysit on a scedule involving learning time and crafts before lunch and afterwards they get free play and sometimes a field trip.
Any answers given are appreciated!

Does anyone know where I can get free baby stuff? Free crafts? Anything free will help, if anyone is willing to give away stuff, I will pay for shipping.
