The causes or consequences of why boys aren't seen as emotional would make for a long and lively debate, but for busy parents just looking for practical ways to improve young boys' emotional IQ, here are some quick tips.

The best kind of care is preventative, and it's useful to help boys explore emotions by starting with what they know. Look to the people they interact with daily—in person or in fantasy—as a way to discuss feelings. Bring up emotions in their territory and space. Television shows and video games are all driven by character interactions and are full of openings to start a conversation about feelings, especially if there is a mismatch and incongruency between what someone is saying and what someone is doing.

If boys mention that someone was embarrassed or upset, you could ask, "How did you know?" Inquire about what cues they observed: Facial expressions? Body language? Words? It can often feel safer to talk about other people's experiences and emotions instead of ourselves. If they can begin to identify what others are experiencing, it opens the door to understand their own responses. With that in mind, be careful of putting words or vocabulary at the top of the hierarchy for emotional competence. One can read apprehension in a person from how they take a jump shot in basketball or when being invited to a playdate or party they are uneasy about attending. Give due credit to emotional literacy based on nonverbal cues.

Boys are naturally exposed to feelings of jealousy, sadness and anxiety—as we all are. However, boys often lack the security that would armor them when talking about emotions that may negatively influence how you see and perceive them. As a result, it is critical for adults to praise expression of emotions in men. If a boy can see that you have a consistent attitude about a man despite his changes in emotional state, then he can begin to feel more comfortable expressing his emotions. If you're a man, you can promote this idea by comfortably sharing your own emotions. Exercise vulnerability and expression in public and private settings about moments that make you feel irritated, nervous or sentimental, not just the more acceptable emotion of anger.

Modeling this kind of behavior and permitting it in others drops the veil of false expectations. From a child's perspective, if it is okay for you to talk about and express, and if it is okay for others (both females and males) to emote and share, then the message for the boy will be, "It's okay for me too."

When talking about feelings with boys, paint the picture that emotionality is a human quality and that it can be dealt with in positive and negative ways. If someone throws their Xbox controller at the screen when they're angry or suppresses a desire to cry when they feel extremely hurt, address those instances as inappropriate ways to handle emotion. Validate their feelings, but point out and discuss those destructive behaviors in men and women alike so they can be seen harmful or less than ideal for everyone, not just boys or men. Also, praise boys when they express emotions in a positive and healthy manner.

It isn't revolutionary to say that we influence the next generation in ways we don't realize. But it is helpful to remind ourselves we do influence future generations. I give this advice as a reference point. Obviously it won't make you an emotional guru overnight, but it does begin a chain of events to bring these ideas to the forefront of your relationships. Exploring, modeling and sharing emotion make it more acceptable for young boys, and eventually expressing emotions for boys becomes part of any normal day.

When my two older boys were younger I distinctly remember thinking one winter they were never going to go back to preschool because they were never healthy. Fast forward about five years and one additional kid, and we seem to be in a better spot health-wise. I attribute this to a few changes I've made, which I've highlighted below. I'm not a doctor, nor a scientist, so this is purely speculation, but it seems to be working for us.

1. Get rid of the hand sanitizer and just use soap and water. I used to use hand sanitizer religiously thinking it was actually doing some good. I think instead it was just stripping the kids of any "good dirt" and making them more vulnerable to infection. I could be wrong about this, but since I have switched to just handwashing with regular old soap and water we've had better luck with staying away from colds and other infections.

2. Add a daily probiotic. About three years ago, I started everyone on a daily morning probioti

c appropriate for their age. I just buy the one they will actually tolerate from Whole Foods so no real science going into this, but I figure it can't hurt them, and possibly only help.

3. Get a flu shot. This is a vaccine, so clearly there is major debate around whether one should receive a flu shot. Full disclosure: I am 100% in the "all vaccines are good vaccines" camp, and I make sure my kids, myself and my husband all receive the flu shot every year.

4. Cut down on dairy and push water. My kids don't really drink milk or any milk-based products. My older two children had ear tubes and chronic ear infections when they were younger, and the doctor suggested to cut back on dairy. I've followed that advice ever since and the head colds and congestion have definitely decreased.

5. Get fresh air. Ever since my oldest was just two weeks old (and this was during a Chicago winter) my mom always said, "Get him outside!" I try to get the kids outside for a little while every single day, no matter what. It's good for their mental health and their physical health (as well as mine). I also try to open the windows to air out the house every once in a while, too. This is definitely a throw back to my nana, but it makes the house seem fresh in the middle of winter, and as if the germs are leaving the premises.

Sometimes getting sick is just hit or miss, and for whatever reason some kids are more susceptible to getting sick. However, these basic tips have definitely helped us decrease illness overall. I also found that getting through that first year of preschool or kindergarten helped build up the kids' immune systems immensely.

It never ceases to amaze me how my two kids—born from the same womb—can be so different. I don't know why it still surprises me so much, but it always does. In areas where one excels, the other struggles. At times when one is calm, the other is fired up.

The differences in their personalities show up everywhere, including at the dinner table. One loves chocolate, the other loves vanilla. One is adventurous and willing to try new foods, the other is ... not.

Over the holiday break, we visited my mom and dad in Florida. One night, we went to a local restaurant called Deep Lagoon Seafood. Jack, my adventurous one, saw a poster on the wall promoting a local "delicacy" on the menu. The poster said:

"Gator Bites. Bite them before they bite you."

Um, ick.

But, right away, Jack was practically bursting with excitement. (Kinda weird, right?) I mean, the kid was ALL IN.

Meanwhile, Caitlin (my not-so-adventurous one) broke out in a cold sweat. She was ready to do a mad dash from the restaurant. Can't say I blame her. My stomach did a few somersaults, too.

For me, it was a great reminder of the fear kids can feel when faced with an unfamiliar food. I'm a full-grown, 40-something adult and I was feeling the fear loud and clear. If someone tried to force me to eat 'gator, I would not be happy. Not one little bit.

As parents, it's human nature to want to encourage our kids to try new foods. After all, we know that foods like peas and broccoli are harmless and (sorta) tasty. But from a 2-year-old's perspective, those green veggies can set off the panic button, much like the 'gator bites did to me.

So, as a parent, how can we respect our kid's food preferences and aversions, while still encouraging them to eat healthy, new foods?

First, we can try to be good role models and eat the foods we want our kids to eat. In the 'gator example, I maybe wasn't the best at modeling adventurous food choices, but I also can't exactly say that 'gator is a food I want my kids to like. On the other hand, give me a fresh, simple salad and I'll role model my way to Timbuktu.

Second, as the wise Ellyn Satter recommends in her "division of responsibility" approach, it's the parent's job to offer kids healthy options; it's the kid's job to choose whether or not to eat them. In other words, we should routinely prepare healthy foods for our kids, then leave it at that. Our work is done. Amen and hallelujah.

As I often tell my kids when they get all hot and bothered about the choices I've given them, "Food is food. You can eat it or not. It's your choice. But food isn't something to get worked up about." Then we move on.

Sounds like a ridiculously simple way to deal with a tantrum at the table, doesn't it? But once you get the hang of it—and your kid realizes that you aren't going to force a food—so many stresses at the dinner table melt away.

So what was Jack's verdict about the 'gator? "Tastes like chicken, but chewier."

P.S. I don't know if eating 'gator is humane, sustainable or acceptable. I should probably look into that. Keep in mind this was a one-time experience, not an overall lifestyle choice, so please be kind.

P.P.S. For more tips on nudging your child toward healthier choices and less tantrums at the dinner table, please download my free ebook, "21 Pick Eating Hacks."

As parents, we hope to instill in our children the importance of traditions. Many of our family traditions revolve around food. For example, our Sunday evening tradition has become a London broil dinner. All my kids love this meal—which is quite a miracle—and I hope it might become a tradition in your home, too.

London broil

1 ½-2 lb. London broil

¾ cup Italian dressing

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup honey

Mix Italian dressing, honey and soy sauce in a large Ziploc bag. Add London broil to bag and, if possible, let it marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.

Grill on low heat 12 minutes each side (4 minutes longer per side if you like it well done, but who likes it well done?!). Can you believe that's all it takes? Enjoy!

Tips:

This is a great recipe to quickly throw together in the morning and let marinate in the refrigerator during the day. Just put the meat in the oven or grill it when you get home.

If you are living a cold climate and aren't brave enough to grill in the winter (we Chicagoans grill in the snow), then preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the London broil on the lowest rack uncovered in a disposable pan for 1 hour.

As always with red meat, let it sit after cooking for 5-10 minutes before cutting to seal in the juice.

This London broil is great served with grilled asparagus and brown rice (my favorite is Trader Joe's frozen brown rice)

My wife and I have been taking our 8-month-old son to swimming class for the past couple months, and each time we've gone, I've noticed something about the parents lounging in the deck chairs near the floor-to-roof glass wall that separates them from the pool. Most of them have their eyes locked on their phones instead of watching their kids in the water. It's crossword puzzles, Gmail, CNN.com, games—you name it. I see it when we're waiting to enter the pool deck and when I'm in the swimming lane with my son.

I get it. Kids' practices and activities can be a much-needed respite for sleep-deprived parents who just need to veg out for 30 minutes or an hour and mindlessly surf the internet, send an email or play a game (my alarm goes off at 4am every Monday through Friday, so I feel your pain).

But, can we be honest? The smartphone has also taken some, sometimes much, of our attention away from our children when they're sitting right in front of us. I never thought I would become one of "those parents," but I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty at times. Sometimes I jump at my phone with each notification, refresh ESPN.com every couple minutes to see if the football score has changed, or habitually check my email instead of keeping my full attention on my son. There are only so many wooden block towers I can construct and nursery rhymes I can repeat before I need to turn my attention elsewhere, even if it's just for a few seconds.

So for me, and any other parent who sometimes can't resist the urge to have our phones in our hands or near us when we're playing with our kids or when they're participating in an activity, I thought I'd do us all a public service by listing a few ways to use the basic functionality on our phones (I'm not a big app guy, so feel free to stop reading if you were expecting one of those top parenting app blogs) that could put the attention back on our kids and away from the work email that can wait until Monday and the crossword puzzle or game that will still be there when the kids go to sleep:

Take photos/video of your child. They'll never be in this moment again, so why not snap a few shots and create an online album or email the photos/videos to loved ones? It's incredible how fast kids grow—savor and save this moment.

Write a quick note to your child. I'm so glad that before my son was born that I wrote him a letter every few days throughout the length of the pregnancy. Sometimes it was just a quick note to let him know I was thinking about him. Other times it was several paragraphs about how I felt about an upcoming doctor's visit or the fears I had about how life would change when he finally came home from the hospital. Soon after he was born I compiled these notes in a self-published book and presented it to my wife.

Have your child "call" a relative. Even if your child is just babbling and cooing and can't yet form full words, I'm sure there are plenty of relatives, especially the out-of-towners, who would love to hear a few sounds from your little one.

Throw a ringtone rave. Kids love to move and dance, so why not get some good use out of all those ringtones you'll probably never use?

Teach how to count. Practice counting 10, 9, 8, … with the hourglass feature. Use your phone's stopwatch to practice the other way … 1, 2, 3 … .

What might be the best tip of all (although I know it's infeasible for some of us) is to keep the phone out of reach, or just turn it off, when your children are around. I know I don't have memories of my parents playing on their phones or some other piece of technology and not giving me their full attention, so I don't want my son to have those, either.

Thirteen years of parenting and dozens of parenting books later, I'm here to offer my own advice for parents: Forget about it. Advice, that is.

We need an antidote to all the "do this, do that" out there for parents. Why? Why not use advice if we can learn from others so that our own journey with children is more joyful? Because, bombarded by so much advice, we can't retrieve the applicable "to do" from our cluttered memory banks when faced with a particular parenting challenge. Especially when it's sandwiched between all the other advice we absorb on a daily basis—advice on what to eat, how to get fit, how to save for college, how to maintain our homes, how to navigate office politics, etc., etc. It's advice overload. And if the adage "keep it simple" applies to anything in life, it's parenting.

As parents, we have a natural intuition when it comes to nurturing and guiding our children. The problem is, these days it's very hard to access that intuition because are minds are so full of all the things we need to do, forgot to do, want to do and wish we had done. The average human brain generates 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day. These thoughts, along with keyed-up minds and bodies due to stress, cloud our deeper sense of the right action for any particular situation.

I say the only advice parents need is this: Be calm, be present.

Calm parents make wiser choices for their children. So find out your best source of relaxation and make use of it. Is it a bath, a leisurely walk, a few moments of quiet in your car before you enter the house, a phone call to a light-hearted friend, a cuddle with the family pet? If you start by being quiet each day, allowing yourself to just "be" for a few minutes, you are likely to find yourself naturally drawn to the calming experience your nervous system craves. As you discover what calms you, allow yourself time for it on a regular basis.

What else can we do to tune into our natural parenting wisdom? Be fully present. Research shows that the average person's mind wanders nearly half of the time, and the trend is upward thanks to our device-addicted, information overloaded, schedule-packed lives. Mind-wandering and multi-tasking are recipes for disaster when it comes to parenting. How can you possibly tune into your deeper intuition if your attention is divided two or three or six different ways? When we are distracted, we tend to react automatically, out of habit, often with an underlying desire to dispense with the problem as quickly as possible. When fully present we are alert to the essence, and subtleties, of the moment—the look of joy or pain on our child's face, our natural compassion for them, our sense of our own limits and boundaries, and the spontaneous growth opportunity the moment offers.

Strengthening your mind's ability to stay present is like strengthening any muscle. You have to work it. The more you discipline your mind to be present, the more presence becomes your mind's default mode. You can give your mind a workout by setting aside time each day to focus on being present, sometimes referred to as meditation. You can also give your mind a workout by returning your attention to the present moment whenever you find it has wandered, the essence of mindfulness. But don't take my advice! See for yourself.

*SPONSORED BY MATHNASIUM*

Some people are simply math lovers. Many parents have a knack for numbers and can't wait to share in the joys of fractions, decimals and differential equations with their kids. Others may recall their own struggles with math in school and dread the day their kids ask for help with math homework.

Whatever your personal feelings towards math, one thing is true: Math is a huge part of your child's life in school and beyond, and YOU set the example when it comes to modeling a positive math attitude.

So what is the secret to raising kids who don't fear geometry or algebra (or, heck, even advanced calculus)? Here are some age-appropriate ideas to encourage and inspire your future mathematician.

Show that math is everywhere. Point out the math in everyday activities and empower your little ones to find solutions. Even young kids can participate in activities such as measuring when cooking (double that recipe!), making correct change and estimating. Other ideas include:

Ask your child to figure out when to leave for destinations by explaining what time you need to arrive and how long it takes to get there.

Tell your child you have six quarters and ask how many dimes that equals.

Use "times 10" to find other multiples. "Times 5" is half of "times 10." "Times 20" is double "times 10."

Half of a number can be found by summing halves of parts of the number. Half of 87 = Half of 80 + half of 7 = 40 + 3 ½ = 43 ½.

Build strong math foundations at an early age. Chicago-area schools use many different math curriculums but the ultimate goal is the same: Build a strong math foundation for kids and prepare them for the next level. The reality is kids learn math in different ways, and sometimes a certain teacher or approach might not be the right fit for a particular child. The good news is that there are local math enrichment programs available with highly qualified instructors who can work with kids needing remediation and kids needing more challenging work. Local math learning centers have experience working with kids with a huge range of learning styles and they can ensure each student achieves that strong math foundation that is so critical as they progress through school.

Tackle test prep head on and early on. For many Chicago students, testing is a significant part of their school experience. Students sit for standardized tests and admission tests at a variety of stages in their academic careers. This process can be unnecessarily stressful and challenging for our kids. Students often possess any number of "knowledge gaps" that are huge opportunities to improve both test scores and general academic performance. Take advantage of available resources to identify and fill these gaps sooner than later. Students with a solid foundation will get the most out of test-specific preparation and experience less test stress.

Model a love of math. Kids follow our lead when it comes to most things—including academics. Invest time with your child—whether it be working on math flash cards together or simply playing a math-focused game together as a family. Maximize conceptual understanding and minimize a reliance on rote memorization. With understanding comes passion! Celebrate their math successes and support their interests wherever you can. Who knows, you may learn a new thing or two about math along the way, as well!

Mathnasium, the nation's leading math-only learning center, offers fun and effective supplementary math programs for children in preschool through grade 12 using the proprietary Mathnasium Method™, the result of 40+ years of hands-on instruction and research. Chicago is home to three Mathnasium Learning Centers: Ravenswood, West DePaul and West Loop. For more information, please visit www.mathnasium.com.

*PARENT PERK BY SPROUTS ACADEMY*

 Sprouts Academy Preschool has taken a very unique approach to education. It is here that children ages 2 to 6 years old learn how to engage in a healthy and responsible lifestyle through daily exposure to learning projects, natural living green alternatives, harvesting school-grown food for healthy cooking and eating, as well as by taking a socially responsible stance in their environment, both within the school as well as the community around them.

Our curriculum is based on multiple theories of child development that exemplify the emergent curriculum, anti-bias education, and natural living philosophies. This is implemented with the help of caring, passionate, educated and highly experienced educators who facilitate natural living learning projects through diet, environment, and social responsibility.

NPN members get 15% off tuition at Sprouts Academy Preschool! See offer details in the School Notes section of the school's NPN School Directory listing.

My wife and I visited last night and had a very enjoyable meal. I'd read the good reviews and wanted to give it a try.
Having never eaten Ethiopian food, we had no idea what to expect. Our sever was Nayla, the daughter of the restaurant owner, and she quickly put us at ease. Although the restaurant was almost full,...
Uchenna is a nice restaurant with outstanding food, but what makes it stand out is the great love and attention with which each guest is treated to by Chef Maya. Go for the exceptional food, stay for the beautiful experience.
We enjoyed our meal there. It was nicely spiced and used fresh tasting vegetables.
I recommend the $3 upgrade to the chicken/beef/lamb tibs entree which adds three vegetables to the meal.
The aroma of spices draw you to this restaurant. Rose-water lemonade, chicken with basmati rice & lamb alecha with injera are out of the world.
Maya was an awesome host. Her gesture of getting us a box of dessert for the road showed that she cared for her customers.
Loved this place and will go back here when I'm in...
My boyfriend and I went last night and were blown away by everything. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Chef Maya was very kind and it warmed my heart to see someone so passionate. The food was very flavorful (even with the spicy option) and the portions were perfectly sized. I could taste the love that was put into this...
We first had Uchenna years ago. IT was the best food I have ever eaten. WE went back 7 months later, and Chef Maya knew who we were, where we sat, and what we ordered. That was amazing to me. I have been back several dozen times since. No matter what you order, its amazing. Hands down best food in...
Three of us went with two friends who are regulars.
The food was simply amazing. Served traditional style. The bread was darker than I've seen before, but the waitress (owner's daughter, I think) explained the ingredients and that it is traditional.
Service couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive.
Then, in a total surprise, it turns out that the owner...
This Is a wonderful place to experience authentic Ethiopian food. I love the spies Maya uses to cook. This is one of my top choices in this area for family gatherings or just a couple outing.

Tree cleanup is big business
WASHINGTON COUNTY, TENN. - With hundreds of trees down across the region, tree services were busy today answering calls and working on clearing the debris.
Richard McInturff owns a professional tree removal business. Our crews caught up with him in the Wiltshire Subdivision in Washington County, Tennessee. "At times you can't get to the job fast enough, you end up losing work because you can't run your estimates and get the work done too." says McInturff. "Its a big dog eat dog business when it hits like this cause everybody is on it."
McInturff said he had four big jobs to complete today.

This museum has about twenty tapestries which were made in mid 1700s and are in good shape. They are worth seeing but we were hoping for more.
A small but fascinating museum if you are interested in textiles. The building itself is interesting and we found another exhibition in the foyer which was excellent.
We went to the Musee whilst in Aix en Provence. Fortunately it was free entrance. There was no map,of the exhibits, we were simply pointed towards a door. Inside, there were three doors - door 1 went outside, door 2 went to a garden and door 3 went upstairs to four or five rooms of exhibits. The Line of sight... 更多
For the very first time, I was brought to an appreciation of the creative genius and painstaking labour that go into the production of the wonderful tapestries on display. Moving beyond belief.
If I say tapestry and you say, "Oh, I loved the Cluny!" then I must sadly tell you to put those ideas out of your head. The odd assortment of tapestry here from the 17th and 18th centuries is not the stuff Clunies are made of. The fee is a modest 3.5 Euros and the architecture has some charm, but... 更多
This museum is full of surprises with works from the great artists which unexpectedly turn up in its galleries. Highly recommended.
Wonderful tapestries from the 17th and 18th centuries - amazing they are still so vibrant and beautiful. The Place des Martyrs is also a lovely little square to enjoy. There was some work being done there for new shops and cafe when we were there.
This Museum was interesting in itself like so many old buildings in France. It also displayed amusing and interesting tapestries... 更多

Next is a dating game show produced by Kallissa Productions which ran on MTV from 2005–2008.
"Next", deals with a single person, going on blind dates with possibly 5 other single people who were secluded on a RV, referred to as the "Next Bus". The added twist was that the date could end at any time by shouting "Next".
Each show featured 2 segments. Each segment deals with a single man or woman, and 5 other single men or women. The single man or woman begins the episode describing themselves to the audience. They would usually explain a hobby of theirs that they enjoy, and what they like, and dislike in a person. Often chiding that they would "Next", a person if they had this attribute.
Immediately following, 5 single people of the opposite sex (In LGBTQ episodes, the same sex), would describe themselves to the audience.
From this point on, the 5 single people are secluded into the back of a RV, and the single person is at a location where the date will be held, which later on will probably be relocated. Unaware of what the single person looks like, and vice versa. In a pre selected fashion, the 5 single people are put into an order to go on a date with the single person.
The person who is first prepares to exits themselves out of the RV to meet the single person. Right before they exit, the screen pauses, and intimate/personal facts are subtitled about the person, and the person introduces themselves to the single person.
The date begins at this exact moment and a timer is shown at the bottom of the screen which captures the length of the date. The date usually varies, but most of the time, it consists of a challenge, or an activity that the single person asks the person who was on the RV to participate in. However, it isn't uncommon for a date to feature the two contestants conversing, or eating lunch or dinner.
At any time the single person feels that the person isn't a match, whether it be due to looks, a problem that happens during the date or learning more about the person as the date goes along, they will exclaim "Next", and the date is immediately over, and the person is sent right back to the RV, never to see the single person again. They will usually either say a positive, or negative thing about the person, to give the remaining contestants on the RV an idea of what the person is. It isn't uncommon for the person to shout next, within seconds of first meeting the person. Also if the person shouts next and the contestant was riding in a vehicle with the single person that followed the RV around, usually to transport them to the date location, the vehicle will immediately pull over.
The person who was on the RV, will receive $1, for every minute the date lasted. If the person was "nexted" before one minute, they received 1 dollar.
The same process continues with the next person in line.
A date doesn't always end with the person being "nexted". A date can end if the single person feels they have gathered enough information, possibly due to attraction and time spent on the date, and would tell the person, "You have been on a date with me for (X amount of minutes), you can either take the (X amount of money), and run, or go on a second date."
The screen would then pause on the RV contestant, and a review of their date will be played. Along with that, flashbacks of positive and negative traits from the date, and comments from contestants on the RV explaining the single person will be played. At this point, the contestant can either take the money, or go onto a second date. If the contestant decides to take the money, he or she will go back to the RV, just as if they were "nexted", and tell the contestants about what happened. The single person will then be left alone by themselves. If the contestant decides to go on a second date, the single person, and the person on the RV walk away together, and the remaining contestants on the RV would say in unison a derogatory term to both persons.
This contestant could either be the first or the last to meet the person. If the contestant was not the last, the remaining contestant(s) never come into contact with the single person, or go on a date.
This is usually how a segment ends. But the segment can also end if the person "nexted" all 5 contestants.
The segment ends either when the contestant finds someone he or she is interested in, or if all the contestants were "nexted".
International versions[edit]
Exist a Spanish version, airs on Neox of Antena 3.
The French version aired in 2008 on Virgin 17 and MTV.
The show debuted in 2007 on LNK.
Debuted on September 22, 2008 and airs on MEGA.
The series began around 2009 on Much Music.
The series began around 2014 on TV7.

Hi, I currently own stock Superlux HD681 EVO headphones and I have been looking to upgrade the cable to something around 10 feet and that will give me the best possible sound quality for under 50. If anyone is unfamiliar with the EVO's, there is a 3.5mm male that sticks out of the can and I'm looking for a female to male extension cable, 3.5mm on both ends. I have researched for a while but haven't come up with much, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The Graco Atlas 65 2-in-1 harness booster helps keep your child secure in a 5-point harness, from 22-65 pounds and from 27 to 49 inches. Growing with your child, the forward facing car seat converts to a belt-positioning booster car seat from 30-100 pounds and 38 to 57 inches. It's like having 2 car seats, in 1.
It also features easy to remove washable seat cover – no rethreading of the harness straps needed, fuss free harness storage – holds the buckle out of the way for easy in and out, and open-loop belt guides that allow your independent child buckle themselves – ensuring that the vehicle seat belt is positioned properly in the high back booster mode. Seat pad, harness, and buckle covers are conveniently machine-washable for when spills and accidents happen.
- 2 seats in 1: 5-point harnessed car seat and highback belt-positioning booster
- Converts from 5-point harnessed car seat (22 - 65 lb.) to highback belt-positioning booster (30 - 100 lb.)
- Simply Safe Adjust Harness System adjusts the height of your harness and headrest, in one motion, to ensure that your child is always properly secured
- Engineered & crash tested to meet or exceed US standard FMVSS 213
- Integrated harness storage compartment stores unused harness straps
- One-hand, 10-position adjustable headrest easily adapts seat for your growing child
- Dual cupholders help keep your child's drink close
- Open-loop belt guides help position the vehicle seat belt to properly fit your child
- Seat pad, harness and buckle covers are comfortable and machine-washable
This seat provides your toddler with dual cup holders. They can be used to store drinks, or treasures, and two means an extra space for food containment on the go. Extra comforts like seat pad, harness and buckle covers keep your growing child comfy during all sorts of travels. When used in the high back booster mode, the integrated harness storage compartment gets the 5-point harness out of the way so that your independent little one can use the car's seatbelt with ease.

This article is written in the genre of creative nonfction. It brings the reader into the dreaming, peridreaming, and waking mind of a grandmother whose normative expectations for her son's marriage and family disintegrate. It is neither an autoethnography nor a memoir. Its intents are (1) to unpack some of the consequences of an alternative childraising ideology on three generations and (2) to widen the scope of symbolic interactionist writing and theory by embodying the tenets of SI rather than talking about them.

Nappy stackers and pretty designer manchester/cot bundles - there is no use for cot blankets/quilts/sheets/pillows due to SIDS risk so they were shoved away once baby was here. Plus a nappy stacker- much more convenient to pull bappies out of the packet lol
Yes j and j stuff is overpriced over perfumed garbage shocking for a baby's skin!

Swaddling... I bought a few cotton ones, then I discovered the Aden & Anais bamboo ones. Wish I'd kept the boxes of the cotton ones to regift as the bamboo ones are so much softer!!
That said...
We never used our bumbo either, agree that the avent bottles are fiddly and the nipple seems to collapse (though I like the avent nature ones).
We also rarely used our carriers, but it know that's unusual. We got a stokke MyCarrier and a breeze baby ring sling and used each maybe 6 times each - bubs just didn't like being in them and they kinda hurt my back and were fiddly and hot.
(You still need muslins though for various purposes and I agree the bamboo ones are fab - you can also get sheets and sleeping bags in that lovely soft bamboo!)
I loved my padded high chair. Not for feeding but kept ms screechy from her brothers hands when needed.
I really hated baby bouncers and loved rockers so baby can sit up more in a semi pose if needed ect. Seems they have gone out of fashion again though.

Baby baths with the seat in it. I was given one from someone who also didn't want it! We used it a couple of times and then went and bought a normal one. So annoying with a newborn and this big bulky hard plastic inbuilt seat! Bath thermometer - was also a gift, have never used it.
But I have an Avent manual pump and love it!

I know this is drastic but is it worth just saying to her that either she comes to counselling with you or you'll get yourself a vasectomy. Have you told her that you do definitely want children in the future? Maybe she's worried that 'not now' really means never?
I would stop having s.e.x with your partner for now if you don't want to have baby atm. As for the rest, counseling together or/and on your own to help sort through what's going on. Doesn't sound healthy to me. It seems like you are doing your best to get ahead in your career and provide for your daughter which is a positive. It does sound like your partner is suffering but doesn't want or feel ready to try and tackle it. Best of luck
I am sure you know this, but just in case you don't, even using the withdrawal method can result in her falling pregnant; there can be sperm in pre ejaculation.
You seem to be at the end of your rope. You mentioned not wanting your daughter to grow up without two parents who have stayed together, (completely understandable, it's what we all want) but I think she could endure much greater damage growing up with two parents who just resent one another.
It feels as though she maybe has post natal depression, but has a very distinct desire to still have another child for whatever reason; her own experiences with loneliness she doesn't want to replicate for your daughter, wanting your daughter to have someone to rely on, needing unconditional love herself, whatever the reason.
That being said, you absolutely have the right to do and go with what you want.
If she only goes out places with you take her out one day and straight to the GP. Don't say why you are going (or lie even). When you get there tell them you are worried she has PND. There is a survey they can do which can rule it out or identify it as a possibility.
Make sure you have input as well if she is lying about her emotions and downplaying behaviours.
It sounds like she really needs to hear that she is being unreasonable from another source, but the GP is probably as close as you will get to her 'seeing someone'.
If the survey doesn't support a PND diagnosis then, while still at the GP tell them you want to talk about contraception options for yourself. Withdrawal is not a reliable method and, given her frame of mind, she's likely to get on top and refuse to get off one day. You need to take control of the contraception situation.
I also agree that you should start seeing someone yourself anyhow. You have a lot on your plate and these aren't really the things guys bring up with each other over a beer. A GP can put you onto a care plan for discounted psychologist sessions if the cost is an issue.
Tiny Dancer (17-06-2016)
Honestly I see all of this as a form of domestic violence, what you have written is very concerning. If it was a women writing this or your sister saying that her partner is doing this you would tell her to leave.
I would start preparing to leave. You and your daughter deserve to live better
Sorry for being blunt but I hate seeing men out in these types of positions. And you can only help someone if they want the help
Bongley (17-06-2016),Tiny Dancer (17-06-2016)
MrDad1 Yes, I agree, imagine if it was a man cutting up his wifes contraceptive pills or refusing to wear a condom! And what is the deal with the police? She lied to them and said you smashed the car window?? You're having to defend it in court, is she still sticking with the story that it was you? That IS extremely concerning and I would not be able to live with someone who is behaving like that. You deserve a loving respectful relationship.
Really there is NOTHING wrong with a child being brought up by separated parents as long as they still provide a loving and stable environment. It happens all the time. My parents separated when I was 9, they were much happier pursuing separate lives which is much better than a toxic, forced relationship.

I wish you well

"Mominul Haq broke down after hours of interrogation and confessed to sending an e-mail in the name of the Indian Mujahideen to kill Advani. He said he did so because he felt that Muslims were being persecuted in the country," a police official said. An e-mail in the name of the Indian Mujahideen was sent to journalists in Shillong. It threatened to kill Advani using suicide bombers during his scheduled visit to Shillong on September 29.
"We have also detained about seven to eight more other suspects and are now trying to verify if these people have any links with the Indian Mujahideen or other Islamist terror outfits or radical fundamentalist groups," the police official said.
The e-mail was sent from a cyber caf in the Laban area of Shillong, a locality dominated by Muslims. "We have vowed to kill Advani on his visit to Shillong on Sep 29. We have already convened a meeting of field commanders to decide as to how revenge could be taken," the e-mail said.
The statement e-mailed to local journalists and newspaper offices in Meghalaya was received from a mail ID email@example.com and claimed to be from Ali Hussain Badr, field commander of the Indian Mujahideen in the northeast. Advani is due to arrive in Assam's main city of Guwahati Sep 28 and then visit Meghalaya's capital Shillong Sep 29.
The BJP leader is arriving in the northeast on a three-day visit as part of the party's Sankalp Rally - a country wide campaign pledging to win the next general elections.
"Our main objective is to blow Advani into pieces. Our suicide bombers are ready for this prestigious assignment," the statement said. The statement accused Advani and the BJP for the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 and the recent attacks on churches across India. "Advani's Hindutva demand seems to push India into a fascist mould and as is well known, the proclaimed and identified main enemies of the architects of Hindutva are the Muslims and the Christians," it added.
"We will continue to have tight security even though we have been able to arrest the person behind the e-mail," Meghalaya Chief Minister Donkupar Roy said.
