This post was submitted by jgandrews in The Mommy Club group. What are your suggestions or advice on how to get your child to stop bedwetting? Mine is seven and has done it ever since he was a toddler. I've taken him to the doctor several times and all they say is that it's normal, nothing to drink after a certain time, and no disciplining him (because he's not doing it on purpose). I don't Read more

This post was submitted by an Anonymous member in The Mommy Club. I need to know if I'm a prude or if my mom friends are less than normal. I recently watched the movie Away We Go with a group of my girlfriends. There's a scene where Maggie Gyllenhaal and her partner divulge their practice of having sex while their child is in the room. I said I could never do that. Some of my friends laughed at Read more

This post was submitted by Anonymous in The Mommy Club. I just read the story on teething and I'm in the same boat! My 15 month old is is so much pain and it's killing me to see him so sad. I've tried to give him frozen toys but they're too cold for his small hands. I'm too scared to try Baby Orajel and the teething toys work for a little bit but he gets sick of them and tosses them on the floor Read more

This post was submitted by member Lauren in our The Mommy Club group. I have a wonderful 14-month-old niece and this Christmas I, of course, went a little present crazy. One of my favorites though was a kid's book called Fashion. The whole book is full of fashion word plays. My niece loves the book too and will go through and make the sounds of the animals. I took a couple of pictures of my Read more

This question was submitted by an Anonymous member in the Mommy Club group. Just when I was settled into my routine as a mother, working woman and a wife, my nanny decided to leave us. I can't blame her — she found a family willing to give her more hours, which translates into more money. Like many normal jobs, she gave me two weeks notice but unfortunately for me, that's not a lot of time to Read more

This question was submitted by member Betty Wayne in the The Mommy Club group. So it's common knowledge that leaving a baby alone in the bath — even for a second — is a huge no-no. But, when is it safe? My little one is four-and-a-half, and I've been letting her bathe by herself. I'll stay nearby so I can hear her and I check in on her every couple of minuets. Is that safe? Should I wait even Read more

The game telephone may have been popular back in grammar school, but grown women get all kinds of information passed to them via email or word of mouth. Some forwards ring more true than others. If you want to share those sentiments or any of your own realizations about motherhood, join The Mommy Club over in our LilSugar community. User Bluesuze posted this one about subsequent kids that is Read more

We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Good Men Project. Ozy Frantz explains the difference between fear and hatred of women, and the more common fear and hatred of anything feminine. When I was a freshman in high school, I and my friends were Cool Chicks. We weren't like those other girls, the ones who were passive and weak and giggled and watched romantic Read more

Motherhood can be a mind-boggler! Betty Wayne posted this funny conversation with her daughter in the Mommy Club group in the LilSugar Community. When my daughter was about 4 she saw me taking my birth control pill and asked what it was. "Oh it makes me not have babies," I said, naively thinking it was a throw-away comment that she would never remember. She's 6 1/2 now and a few days ago came to Read more

Add party planner to the list of mom's responsibilities! Seefree shared her lil one's fifth birthday celebration with us in The Mommy Club group. I recently threw my 5-year old daughter a Pancakes & Pajamas party, and it was so much fun! (And so easy to do at home and with a budget!) Using scrapbook paper, I created banners, cupcake toppers, water bottle wrappers and food signs. I made a big Read more
