Diapers Q&A

What's the difference between the old style fuzzi bunz and the new kind? Or anyone use g diapers? Just curious what is different in the new version of fuzzi bunz. THey look the same to me. Also, anyone out there use g diapers? How well do they work? What are your experiences?

Are disposable diaper liners like G-diapers good for travel? I've been looking at G-diapers. They seem great, but what do you do when you're away from home? Do you have to bring the swish stick with you everywhere? Yuck!

g diapers? any one ever use them? do they leak? are they worth the money?

G diapers- anyone know if I can use a cloth insert and use them more as a diaper cover? I have a few of them and use them occassionally, but was wondering if they also double as a cloth diaper. I am running low on the inserts I got in my starter pack and was thinking about just using cloth inserts to see if that would work, but not sure if I can do that. Anyone know?

Our daughter had a bad reaction to G Diapers. Has anyone else experienced this?

Where to find g Diaper pants for sale? Does anyone know where I can find g Diaper pants for sale? I've looked on eBay and Craigslist with little luck. I live in California if that makes a difference. Thanks!

g diapers...what do you think? I finally decided to go with g diapers. I wanted to know from other mommies what their experience has been with them. Do you like them? Are they a pain? Do they work well? Blow out diapers? I was using Pampers Swaddlers, but now that my baby is in a size 3 he can't wear them (they don't make them after a size 2). I tried the better for the environment diapers at Target (I forget the brand) and I didn't like them at all. I was going to get Seventh Generation diapers, but I decided g diapers sounded WAY better. Hopefully I made the right choice! Thanks in the advance for the info!!

Fitted cloth diapers at night- using g diaper cover as a diaper cover? Good diaper covers? So, I just won a big lot of WAHM cloth fitted diapers which I want to start using at night on my son. They are a bit bulky so, I am wondering what a good cover would be for them? I have also used g diapers so, I am trying the g diaper cover tonight, but it seems a bit awkward. But is it always a bit awkward and bulky when working with fitteds since you have a cover? What are some good cheap covers besides the cheap plastic pull-overs by gerber and such that you can buy at walmart. My son can't wear those.

G diapers with cloth liners? Is there a way to use cloth liners with the g diaper outer pants without using pins?

When switching to cloth diapers, what are some must haves to accompany them? I am getting a few g diapers, fuzzi bunz, and BumGenius 3.0s. What else is great to have when using cloth diapers?

If you have used the G diapers please tell me how you like them and how well they work? http://www.gdiapers.com/shop/

Diapering with G diapers? I have heard amazing reviews and was totally set on using them but lately I've heard they're horrible for soiled diapers. What has been your experience? Do you have to change the cover as well as the liner when the baby has a BM? A G diaper is a cloth coverset with a disposable liner. After the baby soils a liner you flush it away. It's supposed to make it easier to cloth diaper a baby by making clean up easier and decrease waste. http://www.gdiapers.com/

I am considering to not use disposable diapers and going with Biodegradable Diaper Liners or washable liners? What is the best diaper wrap or cover to help prevent leaks? The G diaper is very expensive, I like the idea but I am looking for something more price friendly.

Anyone else use g diapers or heard of them? Good diapers? Basically they are a cloth diaper with a disposable inner layer that can be flushed or will biodegrade after a certain amount of time. Should I do the switch over from regular diapers? Is this the best choice? Any others out there? Here's the link: http://www.gdiapers.com/shop/

Why do Americans use different words than English that have the same meaning e.g. diapers & nappies?

Cloth diapers- fuzzi bunz, g diapers, etc. Which do you use? How many should you buy at one time? Ok. I have decided to switch over to either a cloth diaper like fuzzi bunz OR something like gdiapers, which have the biodegradeable insert that can be flushed down the toilet. Being in the south, we have water issues so, I am not sure which one would be best because I'd have to wash the cloth diapers 2x according to the websites. Anyways, which do you like/use? And how many should I buy to start out?

G Diapers, Has ayone tried these? Hey I just found out about these diapers http://www.gdiapers.com/ I ordered them so I will post comments on them, when we try them out, But I mainly thought that even tho they advertise as eco friendly, and as far as price oges, they are actually fairly decent,( same price as luvs in walmart) $14.99 I could use them to help me with potty training, Plus my babies are sensitive to plastic, it irritates thier bottoms, So if anyone has tried them, how old was your baby, how did it work out, and why did you start trying them, My 2 little guys are 18 months and 3 years old

how do i use g-diapers? i got some of the covers at a local used childrens store but im not sure hot to use them

What do you think of G-Diapers? Leaks? Number you can compost (not the 10 a day I'll use)? Price?

I caught my 16 year old daughter in diapers with her g/f. How should I approach her about this?

g-diapers: like or dislike??? They are are a cross between disposable and cloth.

Does anyone use G-Diapers or Gdiapers? www.gdiapers.com They look awesome. Even if you don't flush them and throw them away instead, you are helping the environment. Does anyone out there use them? How are they as far as absorbing? Do they leak? I think I might give them a try once my baby gets beyond newborn size. Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone have any hints or tricks for getting stains out of g diaper liners?

How many of you new moms are using Cloth Diapers.? http://www.gdiapers.com/ I have been using these g Diapers, which are so cool, with the little g pants Except i use a cloth prefold insert to save more money What do you think about these. you use them just like a regualr Diaper M

What are you cute diapers stories? Any stories about Diapers? e.g travelling in a diaper etc? Why thank you :) Could i just mention, to that stupid person who left that horrible message, that im not a perv. Maybe a little of being a diaper lover, but i don't mess around with little kids!

Where to buy cloth diapers in Manhattan? I'm visiting Manhattan and trying to find a store that sells cloth diapers (e.g. Fuzzi Bunz). Internet is full of shops that sell them, but are there any place to shop them in real life in Manhattan? The closer the 15th Street the better. Thanks! J

G Diaper problem/question? Does anyone else have this problem when using G diapers? I started using G diapers on my 18 month old son two days ago..and eventhough I love the idea of them, everytime he is due for a change (anywhere between 2-4 hrs) the pad has bulked and scrunched up to the middle, which causes a huge bulk and is probably very unfcomfortable for him, especially when they are worn under jeans. Am I not putting the liners in correctly?? Why don't they stay flat?? I would appreciate any advice in regards to this. Thanks

Have you ever heard of the G-diaper? It is a hybred diaper (half-cloth/half-disposable) The reason for the diaper ?s is that I am doing a survey on the diaper dilemma cloth or disposables. I am a environmental studies major and want to write a paper and present it next spring. I appreciate all the help from all of you. Thanks and I will be asking more questions.

Does Anyone ON YA use Cloth Diapers? I have recently stated using littel g Diapers and Have now decided to go completely cloth, My question is basically , Of you mothers that use cloth, what is your favorite way to do it, Plastic pants, Diaper covers, Inserts, doublers, Tell me what you do, M

Do you use cloth diapers? Tips? I really want to try and be less wasteful. I have been looking into 'G' Diapers that bio-degrade after 30 days or can be flushed. They would end up costing me much more. The alternative to that would be doing cloth at home and regular diapers in public until I got the hang of the cloth then I would be willing to possibly use that method more. Maybe? I just would like a lot of tips. From people with experience only please.

Natural disposable diapers? My baby has bad diaper rash issues and I would like to change to a more natural diaper (no dye, perfume, etc.) However, the ones I have tried have been stiff and scratchy instead of soft like Huggies. I also tried G Diapers, but they get soaking wet and don’t keep the wetness away from the baby’s skin, which is like instant diaper rash for my baby. Any suggestions?

Diapers.. anybody? Use those G diapers? that are good for the environment? www.gdiapers.com Im thinking into buying them but i dont know anybody who uses them. Do you or do you know of anybody that does? Can you tell me anything about them? Do they leak?Do you like them? ect ect. Thanks!

Im 14 and me and my friends want to start up a babysitting business i will be in charge and im buying backpack? what will i put in them e.g. diapers wipes crayons etc.

I need an alternative to cloth diapers for a Camping Trip? My family and I are going camping at Hershey Park in a few weeks. I am using cloth diapers at home to help keep my daughter rash free. I don't have enough diapers to last a week without doing laundry but if I use disposables she gets a horrible rash with just one diaper change. I need something in between. I have looked into G diapers but they seem expensive for just a week. Thanks Heather I should add that we are staying in the Hershey Park campground and are planning to be at the park almost every day. If we are not at the park we will be at the pool.

Opinions on Kushis ultra all-in-one cloth diapers? I recently posted a question about cloth diapers, and got lots of useful information. Turns out the only kind of cloth diapers I can easily get in our area are g diapers (for which I would use Kushies cloth liners) and Kushies ultra all-in-one diapers. Has anyone used these? Are they any good? My hubby is against cloth diapers so I don't want to sped alot of money. Vegan Mommy - very helpful! to clarify - you use the g diaper cloth outside with the prefold cloth liners? What about the reusable plastic part from the g diapers? Also, don't the prefold cloth liners you buy in bulk (ie. gerber) require diaper pins?

Is there someone out there patient enough to answer my questions about cloth diapers and wipes :) ? Good morning! I have overwhelmed myself by reading up on various "how-to" and other helpful cloth diaper sites. I'm hoping that an experienced mommy and/or daddy can help me out with my unanswered questions! I am torn between using g-diapers and cloth diapers. I was thinking about going with a one-size pocket diaper; I like the idea of using as many inserts as needed and throwing everything, including the cloths wipes into the wash together. I am concerned about the various areas of impact that making this choice will entail: *How much will this increase our water usage? Is this still an environmentally friendly option (using green detergents still) ? *Will our water bill go up significantly? *How difficult is it to use cloth diapers while traveling? Does the "wet-bag" method really work? *How long do the one-size pocket diapers last? How about the wipes? *Economically speaking, which method over time will prove to be more cost efficient? Thank you so very much!! Hey Portland - wow thanks for the great info! One question: What kind of flushable wipes do you use?? Awesome, thanks everyone for your help! :) We are probably going to go with bumGenius 3.0 and cloth wipes. I'd just use a little warm water with the cloth wipes rather than have a solution of some sort. Will put all in a dry pail with a washable liner. Will probably get a seperate sprayer hose for risning wipes and diapers. Thanks so much again you guys! :)

What is so wrong with diapers? This question is too make a point! i don't see diapers/nappies as baby underwear, i see them as disposable underwear, e.g. pull-ups if you kid wears pull-ups then they can use the toilet, but if they have an accident then that is OK. so if my 6 year old says she wants to wear nappies then that is fine.

how can i get a diaper for g-pa in the store with out people thinking i like them?

My daughter cries All the time! What should i do? My daughter is 14 months old and fusses over everything. I swear she's been crying non stop since day 1! People told me she'd get over it by the time she was a few months old, but she still wants constant attention and throws temper tantrums when i do something she doesn't agree with e.g. - diaper changes. it's not like i spoil her, most times i have to just let her cry, but it goes on all day if i let it. what could it be? what should i do?...help!

what is the best cloth diaper? we have been using g diapers and putting a cloth prefold in it. this has been going fine but now that our daughter is getting bigger we were looking into try a different type of cloth diaper. Any recomendations? We want to be a cost effective as possible . My huspand has a little trouble seeing the upfrunt cost and understanding that it is still cheaper than diposibles. (that is not my main reason for using cloth but it is a great way to get him on board)

What word when read from backwards yields another word? When a letter reads the same when read from either side, it is palindrome. If the letters of a word are rearranged to give a new word, it is anagram. What if it is a new word when read from backwards? Is there a name for it? Or, is called anagram too. E.g. Diaper-Repaid; Mood-Doom; Lever-Revel;Mart-Tram;Pan-Nap;Reel-Leer;Dias-Said;Rennet-Tenner;Room-Moor;Dew-Wed etc.

why is it that you can buy cloth diapers everywhere but you cant find the rubber/waterproof pants? yo9u cant use the cloth diapers if you dont have the waterproof pants to go over them. I'm a g'ma who wants to use cloth diapers instead of disposables all the time. I've been to every store I can find that carries baby items,sears,toys-r-us ,walmart, k-mart, meijers, j.c.penny's, etc... I just want something waterproof/ leak proof to use over my cloth diapers. Most folks use them as burp cloths.

Do you think it is a good idea for men to have their wives or g/f's wear an adult diaper during movies? By movies, I especially mean ones people watch at home such as DVD's or VHS tapes. There is a lovely girl I know whose boyfriend makes her wear an adult diaper (such as Depend's) during a video because he doesn't want to pause it. He said it 'ruins the feel' of the film and that he doesn't like waiting five minutes or so for her to go and comeback. At first she said she felt weird doing it but after time got more comfortable with it and says that it makes her boyfriend happier with her. What do you guys think?

Disposable diapers? A while back I came across a site that sold disposable diapers... the lining ripped apart and could be flushed or you could throw away and it decomposes in like 30 days. For the life of me I cannot remember what they are cold. For some reason I think i remember there being a 'G' logo. If you have even the slightest clue what I'm talking about or know of something similar please let me know! I don't want to be wasteful but I also don't want to use cloth.

Bubba g and c g Which is it? So tell me... are you both still upset about the black kid that pinned you both down and farted on your faces? Dang, it was the 10th grade. It wasn't racial; he would have farted on your faces even if you had been black. It was because you both road the short yellow bus and you had your name tag pinned to your shirts. Bubba g happy to see you fixed that drool problem, good for you! c g you may want to change that diaper now.

Whiney toddlers and the risk of lashing out in anger: is it abuse or is it justified? What makes the resident G&WS misogynists so whiney? Its incredible, I just want to swat them across their diaper-clad backsides. And shake them, until they stop whining and crying and bellyaching. And beat them to death with a stick.

Poll: Do you look forward to the day when you have to wear adult diapers? g'nightttttttttttttttttttt peoples!!!! Happppppppppy Friday!

My girlfriend wears diapers at night!? Ok, I am planning to sleep with my g/f in a week, but she told me a secret that she has "enuresis" (?) a.k.a bedwetting. She told me she controls this by wearing a diaper at night. What should I do? Do I really want to sleep with a girl lying next to me in a soggy diaper? She is 17 btw..

Has any one ever had any deffective little g pants, or gDiapers? I recently started using cloth diapers, because they are cheaper http://www.gdiapers.com/ I found these gDiapers, and they have been AWSOME you use them just like a disposable, ( they sell disposable inserts that you can dump, or flush) But i use a cloth prefold insert to save more money they don't leak and they are really cute, Just that initially you have to spend a bit more on the little g pants Unfortunately today, one of the velcro tabs broke Is this a common occurance for the g pants , and does the company reimburse or replace them? Please feel free to comment Thanks

Has anyone traveled with young kids (2 years and under) in Korea? I would like more information on tips to getting around and things to do. I've looked at the Korean tourism site already, but could use more details (e.g., did you bring car seats, availability of diapers and formula, sleep tips for time change from USA).

Where can I find a pretend baby that acts like a real one? I want to find a pretend baby some wher (e.g. doll) that acts like the real thing. I want it to cry and have to have it's diaper changed and stuff. Any ideas of where I could find one that's not too expensive? (I want stores that are in most places, not ones that are only in one location. I also don't want any online stores.) I'm only like 13 and I only want this because I'm bored. I don't want any classes or anything.

Are Luv's diapers that great? I have been using pampers swaddlers, and just switched into huggies supreme. Due to my daughter will sleep around eight hours a nite (thankfully). And when she would wake up in the mourning she was soaked. I have switched to the huggies and no leaks during the nite! Yay! However I just don't like them they seem so rough feeling to me. I have tried the pampers cruiser and they are still to big for her, and I have a hard time finding the swaddlers in the size "2-3" expect for a small package and I hate buying a small package. The pampers baby dry and garbage to me I hate them. I have seen the new Luv's commericals and know they are also made by P&G and I'm wondering are they good or also garbage. I would love to just get one of them to try out. Anyone used them before? What did you think compared to the pamper swaddlers/huggies supreme? Thanks! :-)

Roommate has g/f with a kid...? Me and my roommate were cool until he started dating a girl wiith a 2 year old child. Now, she's always coming over with the kid. I've found diapers in the trash, and i caught them playing my gaming consoles on my 600 dollar television last week. I've confronted him over and over about it, but he still lets the kid stay over. The kid wakes me up early in the morning, and I'm constantly having to stay out of the living room because they are in there. My lease is up, and I'm fed up with it, but he is a friend....I'm not sure what I should do. Also, my fiancee has numerous run ins with him and his "girlfriend". What even makes it even more ridiculous is that she has said she'd leave him for her husband in heart beat if offered.

Harmless prank to pull on kids at Summer Camp? I am a counselor at a "sleep-away" camp and it is tradition to prank eachother (boys and girls) The kids are 10-14 years old. The pranks are ALWAYS the same. The boys usually block the girls cabin entrance with stuff like canoes, logs, picnic tables, etc. And the girls are usually more innocent by putting baby diapers filled with babyfood all over their cabin or we "web" yarn all over the cabin so they cannot walk without removing the yarn...totally weak!! There are rules and that is...counselors are the only ones who can actually enter the cabin, so if the kids want to participate the prank has to be outside or a combo of both inside and out. Nothing that can cause damage or a big mess (whipping cream, sillystring, frogs, etc.) It has to be pretty G rated, but there has to be good ideas out there!! What is something fun and different we can do to the boys to make camp history this year!

quitting a job in Michigan-eligible for unemployment???i am a nurse at a nursing home with 55 patients? we are ALWAYS short staffed and frequently have little to NO supplies (e.g.) some of our patients are incontinent of urine and bowel and need to wear attends or rather adult diapers, we have a 400+lb. patient who requires XLG attends but for the last 2 weeks we had none of that size and they have been taping togethet 2 medium's to put on! that is just one example!! if i quit considering the situation- would i be eligible for unemployment?? i am a Michigan resident.

What would you do if you had a 20 year old boy that dont live with you but has a baby now and cant keep a job? he stay with his girl friend mom, and cant keep a job since he left home, his girlfriend live there to, and I buy the baby clothes alot and diapers or whatever he need because of the baby, and my son alway bums every day from me, come and eat all the time wants money..he is lazy I think and his girl friend is lazy to..Ask me all the time to watch the baby and if I dont he got a smart ass mouth on him..Like nobody else has got a life but him in this world...He alway smart off to my daughter who is 10 years old..Like hes her age , when i buy her somethin g he think I should buy him somthing..He alway talk dirty talk and I ask him not to in my house...I have even had to ask him leave..He told me to tell my husband this weekend to take the 4-wheeler and stick it up his ass..We let him ride it and he was acting smart with it and run it in a tree and bend the front, so my husband wont let him on it any more , he smart off cause my daughter ride it, but she repect it and take care of it..

I work in a restaurant and have something to say...mostly to african americans? the restaurant customers are 75% african american....I've been there for 3 years....I've always tried to remain non prejudice, but last night changed my outlook for good....during my employment, I've witnessed children being told to shut up, slapped (in the face or wherever) eat their food or else...one woman pointed a knife at her child and told him to "shut the f up" ....I've seen them dragged into the bathroom while they're screaming...parents arguing with they're children on cell phones loud enough for others to hear...and last night, all the little girl wanted was to sit by her mommy...daddy said no, she cried and he said "you're coming with me"...so outside they went...I said something to him as they were going outside and he said mind your damn business...I've also found dirty diapers, tampons, and a g string under the tables....servers complain about 100.00 tabs and getting 2.00 tips or no tip at all...so, if you're african american, please explain what I should think..... true...there's ignorance in all races.... you're right nikki..this is not meant for everyone....and yes, I've seen some very nice families christien...did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, b i t c h

Do any men help with the looking after of their kids? Traditionally it's the women that look after kids, but i don't that should be like that. Do any men out there, or women do you husbands help with the kids or housework? me and my wife both do things equally, e.g cooking, cleaning, look after kids, diapers, bed-time, etc. Does anyone out there also do this?

Complete this phrase: "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have...."? A: remarried your ex. B: dropped your cell phone in the commode. C: never gotten laid. D: caught herpes. E: never dated your cousin. F: a shotgun wedding. G: four screaming kids with diaper rash. H: never loved those sheep.

How would you handle airport security???? I say the following rules should be put in place: 1. Only the following things can be carried onto plane: a. Laptop (no power cord as that can be used as weapon). b. Paper Work/Books (No pens/pencils) c. Purse with ONLY ID/Credit Cards and Money d. Wallet with ONNLY ID/Credit Cards and Money e. Only absolutely necessary medication with a doctors note and it must be handed over to the stewardes and can only be given by them as directed on the bottle. f. Baby Diapers (No wipes as they contain liquid), can use soft tissue. g. Baby Formula, only enough for the length of the flight and must be in a sealed from the manufacturer container. No exceptions to these rules. Everything else must be checked. All of the food and beverage brought on board by the airlines must go through stringent testing and the cargo as well as checked bags. Thoughts? There is no reason you need anything else while on the plane.

is my daughter advanced, and if so, how much? and do I need to think about special schools? I don't know kids, only my own, but I just asked a question about her thinking lower case g was a baby 9, ( cute, I know) and got 30 people telling me she's advanced! She is 2 and 7 months, she knows her letters and numbers, colors and shapes, animals, and is learning to spell 2 and 3 letter words, she's been potty trained for ages ( all I did was say no more diapers, we go in the potty, and she has ever since), I don't even know what else is relevant, but she loves to learn... so what do I do? I want her to enjoy her childhood, but also don't want her to be bored or frustrated when she does start school, any advice? thanks.

What is your silly name? Mine is Zippy Diaper Bum? Follow the instructions to find your funny name. The following is an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants", by Dave Pilkey. The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names. Lest we take ourselves too seriously, take a moment to find your new name and wear it with humour for the day... Use the third letter of your first name to determine your NEW first name: a = stinky b = lumpy c = buttercup d = gidget e = crusty f = greasy g = fluffy h = cheeseball i = chim-chim j = poopsie k = flunky l = booger m = pinky n = zippy o = goober p = doofus q = slimy r = loopy s = snotty t = falafel u = dorkey v = squeezit w = oprah x = skipper y = dinky z = zsa-zsa Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your NEW last name: a = diaper b = toilet c = giggle d = bubble e = girdle f = barf g = lizard h = waffle i = cootie j = monkey k = potty l = liver m = banana n = rhino o = burger p = hamster q = toad r = gizzard s = pizza t = gerbil u = chicken v = pickle w = chuckle x = tofu y = gorilla z = stinker Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your NEW last name: a = head b = mouth c = face d = nose e = bum f = breath g = pants h = shorts i = lips j = honker k = butt l = brain m = tushie n = chunks o = hiney p = biscuits q = toes r = buns s = fanny t = sniffer u = sprinkles v = kisser w = squirt x = humperdinck y = brains z = juice Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is Goober Chickenshorts. Tony Blair's is Zippy Liverlips.

Diaper changing...? Hello all, I know how to put a diaper on so I don't need help on that part lol. I'd just like to know, particularly the first days of a baby's life, how you go about the process. For e.g. when the baby has a bowel movement will it be too early to use baby wipes, even the sensitive wipes that have no smell? How do you use the washcloth when it has been stained after the first wipe? Do you just fold it over and wipe again with a clean spot? What if you wanna wash baby a little while changing. Do you hold baby over your lap to be closer to a sink instead of keeping baby on the changing table? Lastly after baby is all clean do you use only baby powder from your hands, powder and rash cream even if they don't have a rash, powder, cream & lotion, or nothing at all? Thanks for answering my crazy question =] 26 wks & 6 days pregnant w/ baby #1

Anybody know wat Sammy and Sarah disorder? Sarah, a 20 year-old Chinese female, sought help from Agency X (a community mental health center) because of her concern for her 3-year-old child, Sammy. According to Sarah, there is “something wrong” with Sammy, but she does not know what it was. Sammy is the oldest of two in the family. Unlike his younger brother (Tommy, 8 months old) who was said to be “normal”, Sammy was unresponsive to the people around him. Currently, he is still not talking and not toilet-trained. On the other hand, Sammy’s dad did not think there is any problem with Sammy, because he himself was not talking or toilet-trained until he was 5 years old. Sarah also noted that the only time Sammy would seek her out is when he wants something from her. However, his way of gesturing is by pulling and grabbing her hands to reach for the thing that he wants. He doesn’t make sounds and avoid eye contact. When he couldn’t get his way, he would scream and “go crazy,” until Sarah gives in to him. Currently, Sarah is living with Chandran, a 30-year-old Indian man, who is the father of both Sammy and Tommy. Although not legally married, they have lived together for the last two years, since Sarah’s grandmother passed away. Sarah said that she loves her grandmother as her own mother. In fact, she claimed to still see her deceased grandmother coming back to visit her whenever she feels down and lonely. Sarah has vague memory of her biological parents, who had apparently left her with her grandmother when she was 4. The only thing that Sarah remembered was that her dad used to drink a lot and beat up her mother. Sarah and Chandran, with their two kids, currently live in a rented low-cost apartment. She said that they could only afford one bed and the whole family sleeps together. Although periodically the local gang members would extort money from Sarah, she generally feels happy where she is living because her neighbors often help her take care of her children. Although Sarah adores her children, she gets very stressed out whenever her children cry, because she doesn’t know what to do with them. She also needs frequent reminders to feed and change their diapers. When the caseworker visited her home, it was found that there were dirty diapers and garbage everywhere. Sarah said that she just did not have the time to clean them. Sarah stopped schooling around the age of 12. She said that she tried her best in school, but often failed most of her subjects. Currently unemployed, she reported some past experiences of working as a salesgirl, but was never able to keep a job for more than a few months. In all her jobs, Sarah often got teased as being “slow.” Sarah said that she hopes to become a policewoman one day, but has no idea how to do so. In terms of her health, Sarah has a history of epileptic seizures since childhood, which recurs whenever she is under stress. Relating to that, Sarah admitted not being regular with her medications. It was apparent that there were some bruises on Sarah’s body. Sarah confessed that her boyfriend, Chandran, sometimes beat her up when he became drunk. This happened almost every other night. According to Sarah, Chandran has been drinking more and more lately and she is becoming more fearful of him. Nevertheless, Sarah insists that Chandran loves her dearly and believes that he will get better somehow. Currently, Chandran has not been able to find a job because of his drinking problem, although he blames it on his prison record for gang fighting several years ago. Sarah said that she is a Christian, because she believes in God. She used to follow her grandmother to a nearby church because “the people there are very nice to me.” Now, she follows her boyfriend to the Hindu temple, because she knows this pleases him. Furthermore, she gets to learn some Tamil words and Indian custom, which helps her blend in with her neighbors who are primarily Tamil-speaking Indians. In her day-to-day communication, she tends to use a mixture of colloquial English and Malay languages. Although she is generally a chatty person, Sarah finds it hard to express herself clearly sometimes. Following her neighbors’ suggestion that perhaps Sammy has been disturbed by some “dirty spirits,” Sarah has brought Sammy to various local mediums and bomoh (traditional healers), but to no avail. Instead, he is beginning to display more tantrums and even self-harming behaviors (e.g, banging his head repeatedly on the wall), whenever he could not get his way. Because Chandran is out of the house most of the time, Sarah feels very helpless with Sammy’s behaviors.

Acid-Base problem.? The sodium salt of lightly crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) is a water-absorbing polymer used in disposable diapers. Poly(acrylic acid) itself consists of −CH2CH(COOH)− repeat units, linked into chains as shown below. The average molecular mass of such a polymer is about 50,000 g/mol. −CH2CH–CH2CH–CH2CH– │ │ │ COOH COOH COOH Poly(acrylic acid) is insoluble in water, but dissolves on the addition of base once 78% of the acid groups have reacted. What is the minimum volume of 0.20 M NaOH that must be added to an aqueous suspension of 5.00 g poly(acrylic acid) to just dissolve the polymer? I am completely lost by this question, any help would be appreciated.

Some more help with my 16 year old.? Ok, So Im trying to deal with my daughter and her 11th month old baby, which I love to death. Her boyfriend does not pay for anything and has every excuse under the sun as to why he does not have any money to buy diapers or formual or what ever, So I pay for things. My daughter has started working full time and is now paying for things for the baby. Which I am very proud of her. She has started studying to take her G.E.D. and has been excepted to a local tech school. My problem now is. How do I stop her from giving him money, She pays for what ever the baby needs or what ever she needs and saves money but is still giving him money and it just drives me nutz. He works but she makes more then he does. She not helping him out with his bills cause he has none, just gas and smokes and stuff. Two. How do I get him to stop being at my house all the time. Hes not a bad guy I just dont like seeing him with his feet on my couch. I dont want to get him arrested. I may not like him but getting him locked up wouldn't help him or my daughter or the baby. Tho I have threated him with calling the cops on him. My main problem with him at my house is when I come in in the morning from working his is sleeping in my daughters room. Yes, I know they have a baby and have (are having) sex. but when i say dont stay they night I dont want him to stay the night. Both dont seem to want to listen. My daughter is 16 and here I am not aloud to kick her out with out getting into trouble. I dont want to put her in foster care which is the only way to make her leave. I know she has him stay the night mostly cause she is afraid if he leaves he will not come back. I cant talk to her about that. you know how teenagers are.. I think it is more that then wanting to do it to making me mad. I have even tryed comprising with her. Saying if he is gone when i come in in the morning then I wont be mad. Most of the time I get "whats the big deal mom. we have a baby together for christ sake"... Or your going to sleep anyway when you come in, you wont even know hes here'. Or my fav. "dont look in my room and you wont know he's here". I do look in her room. cause Im her mom and wanting to check on her and the baby. and the more I see him the more I keep thinking that he got her pregnent. Yes, I know she was a will person in it. And he is not paying for anything. I know she loves him and I dont poo poo that. I just find this SO desrespectful. On both there parts. .

All my baby wants to do is sleep? Is he getting enough to eat? My baby is eight days old. Im am a first time mother and I am breastfeeding. I had a c section so I was prescribed precoset for the pain. It made me so drowsy that I could g=hardly stay awake. I was concerned that this was also keeping him asleep. I stopped taking it and he is still sleeping. Also he was 8lbs 8oz at birth and they were concerned when I took him to the pediatrician that at 5 days old that he was 7lbs 15oz. They were concerned that he wasnt getting the hind milk. He will not latch for more than a couple of minutes and then falls into a deep sleep. I have to fight to wake him up to eat. He does not eat for 15 to 20 minutes the recommended time to make sure he is getting the hind milk. I want to make sure he is gaining weight. He has enough wet and dirty diapers a day. I am getting frustrated and want to give up on breastfeeding because of the pain. I have an appointment with the lactation consultant in a week. Why do they not better prepare you in the hospita

Have You Got a Email Like This? It is Not the Truth,People can be so Cruel to Email this stuff.Do you Agree? Hi, My name is Lauren Archer, my son Kevin and I lived in Sugarland, TX. On October 2cd, 1994 I took my only son to McDonald's for his 3rd birthday. After he finished lunch, I allowed him to play in the ball pit. When he started whining later on, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the back of his pull-up and simply said "Mommy, it hurts." But I couldn't find anything wrong with him at that time. I bathed him when we got home, and it was at that point when I found a welt on his left buttock. Upon investigating, it seemed as if there was something like a splinter under the welt. I made an appointment to have it taken out the next day, but soon he started vomiting and shaking, then his eyes rolled back into his head. From there, we went to the emergency room. He died later that night. It turned out that the welt on his buttock was the tip of a hypodermic needle that had broken off inside. The autopsy revealed that Kevin had died from heroine overdose. The next week, the police removed the balls from the ball pit and lo and behold. There was rotten food, several hypodermic needles: some full; some used; knives, half-eaten candy, diapers, feces, and the stench of urine. If a child is not safe in a child's play area then where? You can find the article on Kevin Archer in the October 10, 1994 issue of the Houston Chronicle. Please forward this to all loving mothers! Note: The specimen above is the earliest version I received of this text (November 1999). In it, the needle-in-ball-pit incident is alleged to have occurred in Sugarland, Texas. Other variants specify the location as Midland (Texas, presumably) or "Midrand" (presumably a misspelling of "Midland"). Latter-day variants also list Discovery Zone and Chuck E. Cheese playgrounds as dangerous places for children to play unattended. Comments: I know from experience that as soon as I debunk this misbegotten missive I'll start getting emails from people informing me that all sorts of nasty and potentially dangerous objects really have been found in fast food restaurant play areas, particularly ball pits. So let me say at the outset that, yes, that much is true - things like hypodermic needles can and do end up in playground ball pits. An incident like the one described above could conceivably happen. But this incident didn't. So far as we know, Kevin Archer never even existed, let alone died as the result of a "heroine" overdose after playing in a McDonald's (or other restaurant's) ball pit. No such news story ever appeared in the Houston Chronicle (or the "Midrand Chronicle" or the "Midland Chronicle," neither of which exists). See 1998's "Snakes in the Ball Pit" for the email progenitor of this legend/hoax. The two texts, both false, are strikingly similar. It's gruesome, I know, but people love spreading tall tales about children being mortally injured in places normally regarded as "safe." These stories about fast food restaurant playgrounds are descended from older legends about amusement parks (e.g., snakes in merry-go-round horses and razor blades in water slides). All are cautionary tales warning parents to be vigilant. All are versions of every parent's worst nightmare. McDonald's has responded to the current rumor with the following statement: We have thoroughly investigated this rumor and it is absolutely not true. There have been no such incidents ever reported at any McDonald's. In addition, there has never been an article in any newspaper regarding this rumor. Unfortunately these types of rumors bring unnecessary concerns for our customers. It is important to know that safety is a top priority at McDonald's, especially as it relates to children. We take many precautions to ensure our Playlands are safe. As for the Houston Chronicle, the paper has been fielding inquiries about the false story since November 1999. Here is its statement: The "Kevin Archer" e-mail being circulated these days is a hoax. There is nothing to be found in the archives. No such article appeared in this or any other newspaper on Oct. 10, 1994, or any other date as no such or similar incident ever has occurred here or been reported by any news service or in any medical or legal records. Chronicle writer David Galloway debunked it in detail in his January 9, 2000 column, "Hoax Writers' Technique." A source at the Midland Reporter-Telegram told me in February 2000 that they, too, were still receiving numerous inquiries about the version of the hoax set in that city. A Feb. 3, 2000 article in the paper confirmed that it's false.

What do you use to distract your baby at the changing table? My 7-mo. old is now more mobile and is asserting his demands (by moving where/how he wants to). At the changing table, however, the job must be done, and done well(ish). To entertain him, I use a non-glass mirror that I saved from a mobile and a newborn diaper saved from a sample from baby class (Remember when they were that small?). Sometimes nothing works and the kid wants to MOVE. Same applies to changing clothes. What do you use? Did you have to rotate items or constantly "upgrade"? Do you have any techniques for each phase of changing? E.g., I now remove his pants while he's standing.

What do you think of my essay? When I am an adult ( I'll never grow up so I shall say when I'm an adult) I intend to be a happily married lesbian housewife (or wife of David Bowie) who not only writes novels, performs in community theater shows, teaches Queer literature and Queer history classes, studies genetics in her free time and eventual president. However because you wish to stifle my creativity I must choose one, and I choose to write about being a Queer lit/history teacher and Mom. Here is a day in that life: "MOM!! WAKE UP YOU STUPID COW!!" My eight year old daughter Hermia screams in my ear. "Yell in my ear and call me a cow again and I swear on all that is f ucking holy I will take that class on the theories of Sigmund Freud." "Is Sigmund Freud that dude who thinks every woman wants to sleep with her father?" "Yup." Hermia scrunched up in fear "I be good!!" she squeeled. "Get out of here squirt" I said messing up her hair and grinning "I gotta get dressed." I stood up and streched and walked over to my wardrobe. I pulled out a light pink puffy blouse and a skirt reaching up to the top shelf and getting my rhinestone headband. I jumped into the shower got washed, got out toweled off , got dressed and went downstairs. My beautiful wife was bottle feeding our son, Lysander and Hermia was putting way too much maple syrup on her pancakes. "Do you want to take over or - " my darling asked "I'm going to take him to work today, so since I'll have to suffer from sore breasts all day you can finish." "Can you take Hermia to school today? I'd do it but the bookstore is short staffed today." "Sure. " I glanced at my watch "Oh damn, we're going to have to hurry, Hermia, take the plate with you, I'm going to be late for my first fricken class" I walked over to my wife and took Ly in my arms and gave my wife a kiss as Hermia darted out the door. I grabbed the diaper bag and put the keys to my car in my mouth and ran out following my rambunctious daughter. She was already buckled into her seat in my mercedes and I handed her her brother to buckle him in. I got behind the wheel, slammed the door and buckled myself in. I turned on the David Bowie CD I had in the player, put my key in the ignition and pulled out of the driveway. I dropped Mia at school and started driving to the University. When I got there I put Ly in his stroller and ran into the liberal arts building. "Sorry I'm late." I said to my students as I walked into the room. " I have Ly today and... I'm sorry, I'm rambling, can someone tell me where we left off yesterday?" A girl in the front row who was wearing a very clingy sweater bearing the school's logo raised her hand. "We were on the discussion of the Anita Bryant crusades." "Ah thank you." I managed to get through the day with Ly crying only twice. After about five more classes I drove home and was greeted with the site of the chinese delivery man on the stoop. 'Thank G-d, Chinese food HURRAH!' I walked in the door to my house and sighed. I had a kick a ss life.

GDiapering mamas? I am expecting my second baby late May or early June. I really wanted to go with cloth, but hubby absolutely, unequivically refuses. Are there any moms who just use Gdiapers? I don't mean using prefolds during the day and g's while out. I know they're expensive, but flushing the poo seems like it would be really nice, plus better for the environment. I don't mind doing a little extra work while diapering.

Get trashed. Go Tri Delt, go Alpha Kappa Gamma, blah blah blah. F) Grad school, the party's over, time to focus on career and no more play time. Study and interviews, get wardrobe with suits and ties. G) Career - work 80 hour weeks and eventhough you have vacation time, using it will put you at risk of being fired. Your coworkers never use up their vacations and you best not use yours. Otherwise someone will get promoted and take your job. H) Retirement, illness, death

What should happen to the father of these two babies who were left to freeze to death while he was drunk? Autopsy results released Monday in Yellow Quill children deaths Canwest News Service Published: Saturday, February 09, 2008 Autopsies on the bodies of two children found frozen to death last week on the Yellow Quill First Nation have been completed and the results will be released Monday, Saskatchewan's chief coroner said Friday. Three-year-old Kaydance Pauchay and her one-year-old sister Santana died after their father, Christopher Pauchay, took them out into -50 C weather to walk to a neighbour's house 400 metres away. The two girls were dressed only in light shirts and diapers. Pauchay's family said he had been drinking. Pauchay was found on the doorstep of a neighbour's home and was taken to hospital to be treated for hypothermia and frostbite. It was hours later before it was realized the girls were missing. The girls were found buried in drifting snow. "I will be releasing the results of the autopsies Monday, and they are preliminary findings," chief coroner Kent Stewart said Friday. A copy of the autopsy report will be turned over to the police, he said. The family will "eventually also get a copy of the report," Stewart said. "They have access to that information upon completion of the investigation." RCMP Sgt. Doug Coleman said a criminal investigation into the deaths is underway, although no charges have been laid. Christopher Pauchay, 25, has been released from hospital, according to his brother. Pauchay was being treated for injuries related to frostbite and hypothermia. Here is a photo of the two dead babies with their mother and father this past December. http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/media.canada.com/e01c99e2-0752-408b-b71e-9f74d891718d/national_tot_family210.jpg?size=l What should happen to this father who shouldn't have been keeping his two daughters while he was intoxicated? These two girls must have suffered very much before their deaths. Can you imagine being in that type of weather with only T-Shirts and a diaper on? What are your thoughts on this tragedy? OMG. Why'd the yahoo sorter put this in the dog section? I wrote this for the family section. :(
