Just a question
Hello Minti,
Just wondering has anyone used the site freeparentstuff.com.au I'm not in anyway involved in this site or trying to flog it. I'm just curious if anyone has used it, is it real or a scam.
Thanks

Good time to start having kids?
Hi there, I just wanted to ask Mums out there when they think a good time to start having kids is? I am 21 and married, just finishing study and so is my husband. I am desperate to have kids and have many reasons why, (one being that I lost an 8yr old brother 10 years ago and it would be great for my family to have a young one around- especially to help my Mum grieve as everytime she sees a young boy she is sad, I would love to change this) Of course i really just want to be a MumWhat do you guys think is a good age to start having kids?

3 Year Old Nightmares
Hi! My 3 year old has just started to have "horrible dreams" - she is waking in the middle of most nights and hollering "mummy!" repeatedly.
When her sister was about 3 she did the same thing, night after night, for about 8 weeks :(. I asked everyone I knew what they did and told her 1. we don't allow monsters in this house, 2. jump on a fast horse iin your dreams and ride away, 3. pray to Jesus - the monsters are scared of him, 4. go to sleep thinking of something happy to fill your mind up with happy thoughts 5. read "Under the BEd" book (where the monsters turn out to be scared of the child). In the end, she woke one morning, told me she had "prayed to Jesus then jumped on a white horse and escaped from the monsters" who weren't as fast as the flying horse!
I wasn't on Minti then, so I thought I would also see what worked for your children? I REALLY dont want this time to last as long as 8 weeks!
THanks!

Cheap gifts...
with christmas only a few weeks away (like 6 or 7 I think) I need to know what I can make or buy that is really cheap but not crap. I have my 2 children (under 8) and 4 nieces and nephew (under 6) and in laws. We are completely broke (I mean completely to a point where I have had to make arrangements with all my utility providers and phone and net to pay it off over the next few months till next year and hopefully be able to sort things out)
Please I desperately need ideas

Baby was breastfed for 8 months. Did not want to give her formula after my milk stopped and she only ate table food since then. She is now 12 months old and normal weight but I started to worry if I did the best for her. Should I start the formula after 12 months ??

Help...
Hi all, i know this is very unexpected but i am proud to announce i am 10 weeks pregnant ! After trying for so long and one miscarriage im treading on thin ice in this first trimester and am up to my neck in stress that the baby and everything will be ok.
I need to know urgently if its ok, at 10 weeks, to have a spa bath, with jets going? I've heard pregnant women should not get into a spa bath for some reason and am not sure on this one?
I would appreciate any and as much advice on this subject as possible, thank you all

My 4 year old write backwards
My 4-year old daughter sometimes write backwards. If I spell love to her, she sometimes writes it as evol. Also, when she writes numbers or alphabets, she writes some of them in mirror image way. It's hard for me to explain but only when you put the paper in front of the mirror you can see the numbers/alphabets in correct shapes. Not only the shape is mirror-image appearance, the order is backwards too. She writes twelve as 21, thirteen as 31 and so on..
Is the way her brain works different or is it something to do with her eyes?

Disrespect only to parents, very good to other people
My 9-year-old daughter has excellent manner anywhere but at home. She respects every one at school and other public places. But at home she has no respect at mum and dad. She talks back, talk loud/yell. Why can she be so different at home and in public? My friends don't believe me if I told them that she's so disrespect at home since she's a very good girl anywhere else. I try so many things to 'change' her. I'm a gentle kind of person. I don't really talk loud until she does it first. I feel like I argue a lot with her and we end up screaming to one another. At the end of the day she apologize, cries and looks like she regrets everything. I want to believe her, but as soon as she wakes up in the morning she disrespect me again. How should I handle this?
