3.5yr old pre-schooler cannot deal with frustration @deworde: I can't speak for Vicky, but now that we've crossed over into age 5 with our oldest, things are suddenly getting a lot better. I say 5 is hands-down better than 3 and 4. |

3.5yr old pre-schooler cannot deal with frustration I agree with the "soul destroying" part. You can't take it personally. He's not doing it because you're a bad parent, he's having tantrums because he's 3 and that's part of what 3-year-olds do. Step back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you are a good mom/dad. You will get through this! |

How long should a 3 year old be sent to his room? I actually like this a lot. I might steal it and try it on my 5-year-old :-D |

neighbour's Marijuana effects on infant Sounds like he's a less-than-stellar neighbor even without the marijuana smoking. |

Preschooler can't sing, but sings anyway - loudly! @Erin: I was wondering the same thing. Plus, he's 3. Three year olds excel in NOT doing what they're told or asked to do. |

At what age can we expect a baby to be carried in a back pack baby carrier? Bending over to do practically anything is difficult as well. Even if you support the baby while you're bending. Still, we used a Moby for both our babies and found it invaluable up to a certain age. |

Learning to propel oneself in a swing My son is 5 and STILL hasn't figured it out. I'm not sure if it's because he just prefers to be pushed or simply lacks the know-how. I am fairly certain I had mastered it by the time I was his age, though. |

What precautions do I need to take in the event that my baby is born with Hemophelia? +1 for using the health savings account as well as a flexible spending account if it's available. Max is out and use it. |

What should be the ideal sleeping posture in the third trimester of pregnancy? I think that it's believed that sleeping on the left side puts less pressure on the vena cava as well. But some articles are now saying it doesn't really matter which side you sleep on, while at least one article I ran across said sleeping on the right can perhaps increase the chance of stillbirth. I think, though, when you're 9 months pregnant, the reality is that you can only sleep on one side for so long before you have to roll over and get comfortable again. FWIW, I broke my left shoulder when I was pg with my daughter and couldn't sleep on my left side at all, and she's fine. |

Strategies to reduce computer game interest +1 for the reminder. Having that built-in prep makes things so much easier for a 5-year-old. You can even take that 5-10 minutes and say, "Can I help you get to a stopping place?" |

My wife want a 4th baby, but I don't a) Is it that you don't want anymore kids right now or anymore kids period? b) Even though the majority of the most emotion-inducing hormones have regulated themselves by 9 months post partem, I think most women will tell you that it takes a good 2 years before you start feeling emotionally "normal" again after having a baby. So she might just be suffering from being overly emotional and overly sentimental right now about having an infant in the house. On the flip side of that, some women legitimately LOVE having an infant in the house. You need to find out from her where she is. |
