• Obesity alone is no reason to remove kids from their homes

  Tue Jul 12, 2011
  • A little perspective is needed here. I am a single mother with two children. One is normal weight and one is obese. The obese child (my youngest) gained 65 pounds in a 3 month period. I had no idea what was going on with her, so I took her to the doctor, where she had been weighed 3 months before.

  • The bullies themselves are often more fragile than those that they bully. Parenting isn't enough--it's the all-important parent-teacher-insert your favorite care giver here relationship.

  • "Stay tuff?" That isn't the answer. Suicide isn't a "trend," it's death. The other interesting thing about your comment is that this girl was not over-weight, ugly or slow. She was an intelligent, beautiful young girl who honestly looks like she could have starred on her very own Disney channel show.

  • I can't wait to gift this book unto the next new parent in my family!! How freakishly adorable and truthful! Honestly, there have been nights I would much rather have jabbed a pencil in my eye if it would get me out of my kids' room so I could finish up the nightly chores and retire myself.

  • I have read my kids to sleep every night since they were born. No, that doesn't make me a better parent than any other. However, the fact that my 4th grader is reading at an 8th grade level is definitely a testimony to something.

• Babies with knives? Co-sleeping ad angers some parents

  • If the ads are intended for the illiterate, then aren't they sending a much more sinister message? After all, how could you possibly sensibly make a connection between putting your baby in bed with you and putting a butcher knife in bed with your baby if you couldn't read the words that make the …

  • I wonder how your friend would feel about seeing this ad? Could it possibly highlight the pain of her tragic loss? And what about the parents of children who have died of actual SIDS, in the other room.

  • You're not a bad person for not co-sleeping with your children. That was your choice and it worked for your family. Does that mean that other families should not have the choice?
