Hello I am currently a student a Kingston University and I would appreciate it if you would fill out this survey for parents https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HJVMBFP Thank You. Much Appreciated :)

God, tantrums are so frustrating and draining! I never experienced them with my DC, but I've seen my nephew throw a terrible temper tantrum last night. He was throwing things, kicking anyone who would approach him and screaming at the top of his lungs. Reminded me of the movie Excorcism!  Anyway, my SIL asked her son's teacher about this problem, and she advised a book called Tears and Tantrums. Said it always helps. Don't know if it wll help my nephew, but just wanted to share this info. Good luck:)

I am not a single parent, but my sister is. And in my opinion, it is not THAT hard only when you have a support from your family, or when you have a good career. Otherwise it is one of the biggest challenges in the life of a woman.

Guess I will always miss their ability to get excited about everything the most. Oh well, grandchildren will give us another round of this incredible pleasure

Couple of months after my first date with my future DH, I just knew! I knew I wanted to have a little copy of us, someone we will love and take care of. Someone who will continue our lineage)

Yes. I heard that two, but a friend of mine also noticed that epistomy gave her a faster and easier recovery. 

Hello there, 

I'm writing from the BBC Science department. I'm searching for a family to take part in some filming next Wednesday 14th January, in London, all about smoothies! 

We're making a programme for BBC Two about the foods and drink that Britain consumes. With Prof Alice Roberts, we will take a look at the nutrition of our favourite foods, revealing top tips and health secrets, on how to make the most of the foods we like to eat.

 We are filming a section all about smoothies next Wednesday 14th Jan - taking a closer look at what goes into them and revealing a top health tip for the best way to drink them...

 Do you and your partner/family like smoothies? Do you have children - do they love their smoothies and juices too? Would you be free next Wednesday afternoon – late afternoon is okay if your children are school-age!

 If you’d be interested in being involved at all please do drop me a line on freya.ward-smith@bbc.co.uk or give me a call on 07734 966 518.

 Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I think a 6-year old will get bored:)) My son could barely sit through a movie in the cinema when we went to see Shrek  I can't imagine that a kid could keep up with all the dancing and the music on the scene. She will either fall asleep or will be very very bored)

We had it too! We loved it, Emma loved it, and we used it every day. It's so easy to move around and it is practically lightweight. So if you ask me, I'd buy it without thinking.

Oh, and the colours are so cool 

Change you routine.

My sister didn't want to talk about names till her son was born. That was because of her long history of miscarriages, so everybody could understand:( It is up to you to decide! If you believe it is best to postpone this conversations, that it is the right thing to do.

I imagine you've already made a decision about Langdon school) If you so, do your kids like it there? Or if they didn't go there, what school did you choose? The only thing I know about Langdon in East Ham is that two kids were stabbed there in a fight. This would've been enough to scare ME off.

My kids love to help me in the garden:) They pull weeds, and sometimes they pull more than just weeds, but I don't mind  Also we work together on their costumes for school shows and Halloween, if that counts.

Anything can  alter the child's nighttime sleep patterns, so it really depends on what changed in your life. Travel, illness, shifts in day-to-day routine and leaps in development  and many other things could cause this.

Mine also loves "Diary of a Whimpy Kid"! He's also liked

I've read some of these myself 

Hi All,

Thanks. 

Poor Kate, she has such a horrible form of NVP. I never had nausea during my pregnancy...

If you're asking about dating events, then London Singles Club do that. If you mean meetups for parents to socialize and their children to interact with each other, then you'll like their events too. I think they organise them all around the country, so whichever city you live in. you'll find something for you. 

I did not suspect anything until I was late. But that is probably due to the fact that we weren't really trying. I suspect when you're eager to conceive you become extra suspicious to your body. So you'll never know:) I wish you best of luck!

Okay, so Halloween is coming, and I want to cook something really halloween-ish. So far every pumpkin dish I tried turned out to be not that delicious. I know it's a challenge, but I want to cook something with a pumpkin and I want my whole family to like it . My youngest is 8 and she's really excited about helping me with our Halloween food. Do you girls know any recipes that actually taste good?

You could try one of those big cars for kids? All the boys LOVE them! Or if you think he is too big for it, you can give him a bike. 

Я бы выбрала смешанную) Мне кажется, так лучше. Мы же так росли и учились.
