big time.. my husband was laid off and hasnt been able to find work. hes been out of work for 3 months now. our car is about to reposessed as we dont have the money for payments.and weve lost our medical insurance. thank god we live with my mom and shes been letting the rent slide and she feeds us. but we just ran out of everything we had saved. and my moms bought diapers for my two year old the last two times. im having my daughter tomorrow, thank god i have lots of diapers for her from my baby shower. but after those run out i dont know what im going to do. i think were going to end up collecting welfare for a little while. and they have a program to help find work. its really really scary, like our whole life is slowly falling apart. i just keep hoping everything will fall back into place. but who knows really

I`m terrified. Currently dont have money for groceries or diapers. The economy has had a large impact on my family/

Nope I`m not really scared, I was raised poor/middle class, and I suspect that I will stay that way

Yes! I am actually every since 9-11-01 when my son was 2 I have been scared/more worried. Thats one reason I wanted to put off having another child and bringing one into this world. I hope things get better, my daughter will hopefully be joining us in Feb. 2009.

  1. Is it normal for toddlers to leave off 1/2 of words?
  2. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  3. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  4. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  5. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  6. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  7. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  8. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  9. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  10. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
