When Do You Actually Refer to Age in Years?

So I'm at Target with my daughter today and I run into a friend. Her sister is in town along with her son and the three of them were looking at toys. My friend's nephew was darling. I asked her sister "how old is he?" Her response? "Forty two months." Really? Really???? Geez, he's three and a half. I understand that there may be medical or theraputic reasons to refer to a child's age in months, but for the sake of a simple conversation, was this really necessary? At what age do you refer to your child in years and not...

B-day Gift Idea

My daughter will be two in a couple of weeks. I also have a four year old girl and I am at a dead end as to what to get my youngest for her b-day. We live in a townhouse and would like to do outdoor stuff but kinda stumped and was wondering if anyone had any neat/not to expensive ideas. They have tons of baby stuff etc. Also if anyone has any ideas for a really neat b-day party but also inexpensive.

What Age for Independence?

This week, my almost 15 year old DSS seems to think he can go where he wants without telling us before hand.

Do I Send Christmas Gifts to Adult Daughter Bashing Christians on Social Media?

Adult daughter chooses to be an atheist. I accept and respect her choice although I don’t agree with it. My problem is that she is constantly bashing and denigrating all things and everyone Christian in long diatribes on social media. She is the first to speak out very loudly if anyone belittles others for bullying based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., etc., but continues her cyber attack on Christianity. When I pointed out the hypocrisy, I received a long public tongue-lashing on social media. I am hurt and embarrassed. ...
