The kid is melting down and whatever technique the other mom is using isn’t working, but you have a great strategy that always works with your kids. You sit there on the fence, trying to decide if you should offer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Supermodel Gisele Bündchen recently caught flack for extolling breast feeding a little too enthusiastically, stating that she thinks breastfeeding should be mandatory for the first six months of the child&#8217;s life. She was quoted in the September issue of Harper&#8217;s Bazaar UK as saying &#8220;Some people think they don&#8217;t have to breastfeed, and I think [...]]]></description>

It makes sense if you look at the greek system, wait lists for exclusive country clubs, limited edition gadgets or popular cliques among children (and moms). We always seem to want what we can’t have. My daughter has been dallying with [...]]]></description>

For some this is a no brainer – if the kids can’t get along, you can’t get together. But for others, the line in the sand is not so clear. We really enjoy our friendship [...]]]></description>
