Guest guest Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 Greetings, Kathy! I'm glad you got in. It seems that people have to give their name as well as their email in order to not be automatically disqualified. This is a pleasant group of women.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Ellen welcome to the group. I understand what you mean about your husband working all the time. My husband is in the navy. Everyday him and is boss do all the work while everyone else in the division slacks off and goes home early. On top of working about 10 hrs a day he has duty every 5 days which means he does get to coome home until he is done the next day. By then he is exshausted and sleeps the rest of the evening. It sucks. Sorry I had to get that off my chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Welcome Ellen: I also can't help with your diliemna. I feed Jannie (16 weeks today) on demand and she just eats when she is hungry. Lately she has been cluster feeding in the pm. Oh well. I really like this loop. I have been a member for about three or 4 weeks. It is great. Hugs Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Welcome Ellen! I'm Dana, SAHM to Philip, born 9/17/97. I'm not sure what to tell you about getting him to eat longer as Philip has always been fed on demand and does the same thing! : ) He knows he can eat whenever he wants so he " snacks " a lot! Phil, my dh and I also practice attachment parenting. We love it! You'll love this list. It has many wonderful moms! Dana -Mommy to Philip ph 9/17/97 << Hi!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 1999 Report Share Posted February 5, 1999 Boy, oh, boy, can I relate. My df works 80+ hours a week. I saw him a total of 3 hours in 5 days. You're right. It sucks.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Welcome Wendi. I am sorry to hear that you are so frustrated nursing. I heard that if you try to pump while your baby sleeps then you can increase your milk supply. I can't help you with the teeth thing, my son hasn't got any yet, but they are coming in. I am a stay at home mom too, although it is driving me insane. I don't know anyone here, my husband is in the navy, and I have one friend here, who is always working. I there is a lot of things to do around here, but we don't have the money to do them, so my days are spent sitting in our apartment all day. I won't have it any other way though, I can't stand to leave my son for 5 minutes, so working is out of the question. I am just so bored.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 , I have signed up for a lot for so many of those survey and focus groups programs. I haven't heard from Cyberdialogue yet, but Brand Instutitue should be sending me a couple checks here soon. My husband and I have done some mystery shopping, but we haven't gotten any checks yet, but they should be coming soon. Although the money will help, money is still tight. My husband is taking a test in May and if he does extremely good he will be 2nd class, which means some more money. I am praying he gets it. << , I get lonely too. My dh works 40 to 50+ hours a week. But atleast he's here and not out of state.(navy) But I'm a high needs person. lol. I'm grateful to the internet for both of us. Heres a way to make alittle $$ on the internet. www.cyberdialogue.com I've gotten $30 from them so far and am in the process of making more.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 , Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it. I have to admit that I hate pumping. 20-30min for about an ounce. It's very frustrating. About your situation. I can relate to that. I was very bored being home with my daughter. I think it is the transition of getting used to having a more abstract day. Not having tangible results is hard. It definitely gets better. How old is your baby? Money can be a hindrance but don't let it stop you from meeting people.
