I'm with you that you shouldn't be dangling the carrot. If the parents are concerned to the point that they are looking for an outsider to help them, which they are doing by suggesting you be the heavy, then I think they need to find a qualified counselor to help THEM come up with constructive ways to help their son.
I hope your nephew gets to spend time with you. Maybe he needs an opportunity to get away and reflect in a safe environment and be better able to go home, redirect, reapply himself.
Hope you update.View Thread
Very concerned mom

During my research, I konw a lot of new thing, and I realize how serious the problem is. I already did some thing for this, I created a blog(Rachelprotectschildrenhealth.wordpress.com) and wrote letter to local government. I want to show my idea to you cause I agree with you, and I also want to know some imformation from you about the hramful chemicals. I just want to let you know that you are not alone. There are many people like me that have the same ideas like you. If you have some time, could you please tell me about your story? Did you connect to the media or government at that time? What did the hospital say, if anything? How were you treated and how did you feel? It is my pleasure if you can tell me more about your story, and this is my email: weiruoyi@126.comView Thread
If your kids are full at dinner and did not eat it all do not make them over eat. However, if in an hour they are wanting sweet treats then they are really wanting that sweet treat. Sweet treats should be limited to special occasions, and weekends. Knowing you are adding sweets to the rotation for weekend meals watch the fat and calorie content of that weekend meal.
Most of us do not consume enough fruit in our day.
On weekdays feed them dinner and before bed if they are hungry give them fresh fruit, not canned. This will set up an excellent life time habit. If they do not want the non sugar food for late night then they really are not hungry are they?
Also, saving popcorn and sweet treats for the weekend makes it more special, and can be great family time.
I would start of serving smaller portions for sure, making sure that they are getting in all the veggies and not just eating the meat and saying they are full. Also this might help hubby by them eating all on the plate issue if the plate starts off smaller. Regardless I would give him some literature on how children should eat, to help retrain his mind. Don't worry many of of have had to retrain. Many of us need to and don't, just look at wal-mart and you will see how we are not getting it yet.
I hope this helpsView Thread

I don't wanna flip out but I don't know if she needs to be exposed to all that testing through the ER either. Suggestions, ideas???View Thread

. Some of my teachers noticed the way I hold my pen and they asked me how could I hold it like that. I just smile (like always) and said that I'm used to it.I'm not sad for having this problem. I'm just afraid of those kids/classmates would tease me. But on the other hand, I am quite a good manga artist. My best friends knew about what happened to my arms. They never tease me. They always admired my drawing skill.
I don't have the gut to get acquainted with new classmates in new school, because some of them might tease me and then told everyone else not to play with me. But now, seeing that I'm not alone, I'm glad. My mom always encourage me and say that I'm not different. I'm happy that my mom always support me. I will be stronger and more optimistic. I hope that everyone - who have the same problem - will always be happy

I can't imagine that if her water has fully broken and there is, as you say, "no water left", her doctors are going to let her go " as long as possible". Are you sure you have all the facts?View Thread
