I have a 4 year old girl, and life is EXACTLY like that!
She's either dancing or jumping on/bouncing off the furniture.

It's pretty fun. She's taught me the importance of dance breaks.

This is how classy I am. I have absolutely no idea if you're being sarcastic in regards to how classy Calvin Klein/American Eagle. I THINK you are, heh. I was not aware that those brands were considered... not classy. Is Wacoal classy?

Most bras don't fit me, either. I have my Wacoal ones for comfy no cleavage times.…

I think there's a Nordstrom rack near me. I'll check it out, thanks! (I NEVER would have bought Wacoal bras. My husband friggin' bought me one because he thought it was sexy "Like the women in the Sears catalog in the 70s," HAH. I was all "Old lady bra! Ewwww! Men are weird!" and tried it on and it felt amazing. I…

Errrr... because it brought up thoughts about my boobs not aging well. And that made me sad.

I feel your pain (Wacoal is the best everyday bra, by the way, in my opinion. But, yeah, pricey). It kind of sucks all around. Tiny boobs... big boobs. I wish we all just liked our breasts.

Yeah, honestly? I read that first sentence and thought "Isn't that nice!" and then I read the rest and immediately felt bad about my boobs which will apparently NOT age well. :(

This might have already been answered (I don't feel like reading the comments), but whoever Photoshopped the model used "liquify" to scoop in the model's waist to make it look thinner. The elbows were right next to the waist, and also got scooped in because whoever did this is TERRIBLE at Photoshop.

HAH! So timely! I'm traveling next week, and recently bought 2 convertible skirts/dresses. I'm still trying to figure out the cutest configurations, though.

I agree that LW1's friend sounds like a real B. But it reminded me of when I married my first husband. I had my cousin be my maid of honor. She had split from her horrible HORRIBLE (abusive) husband, and we grew really close during that time (plus we had grown up together). Then, just before my wedding (after I'd…

I don't know how I feel about that. When I was spanked, it was NOT a light pat on the bottom. It was not being able to sit down afterwards. And it graduated to getting smacked in the face/head which graduated into my occasionally losing hearing in 1 ear from being repeatedly hit on it. And, furthermore, it didn't…

Actually, I believe it's illegal in Delaware. And hopefully, when we as a species continue to evolve, it will be illegal in all states. In any case, your argument holds no water as it's morally wrong whether it's legal or not.. Gay marriage is also illegal in most states. Does that make it wrong?

Errr... it IS child abuse. I don't "disagree" with it. I am sickened by it. Hitting your wife/neighbor/dog is illegal. It makes absolutely no sense that hitting a child is still considered OK. Makes me embarrassed to be human.

This was funny until they started discussing her (and possibly his grandpa) physically abusing him. Then I had to turn it off.

Don't freak! It could also be hormonal related (and easily fixable). I had two bald spots after each pregnancy. The hair grew back both times.

I am right there with you!

Don't do it. It's a horrible show & song. Because I am an asshole, I stopped letting my daughter watch it, heh.

I just read that. Hilarious. I hate Wonder Pets with the passion of a thousand suns! The theme song, like "Let It Go" (which I love), ALSO burrows deep inside your brain and allows you to think of nothing else.

For the record, I have a super active kid. She is NOT docile. Like, at all.

My kid had stitches over her eye, a chipped front tooth, a couple of burns on her finger. All before the age of 2 (she's 4 now). I feel your pain.

I didn't read this whole thread because it was too depressing. But since you said you were open to alternatives and asked what you should be doing instead...

I am a mom to a fairly hyperactive 4 year old. She has never (and will never) be spanked. This is what has worked for me:
