LD, i'm sorry that you're having such a hard time with the new baby and hope that his acid reflux will go away......my oldest had that and it was a nightmare.

i can totally understand about your problems with your daughter being spoiled at her dad's house. my youngest stepson was so hard for me to handle and we were at odds a lot. after he was in his 20s, he told me that his mom put him up to acting out at my house so we'd be in upheaval a lot....i know that this isn't the case with your daughter but i do understand how hard it is to discipline a child who gets to behave differently at the other home. you are not a bad mom. you're a new mom who is suffering from PPD and tired and cranky.

don't worry about the Christmas presents. kids usually end up playing with the boxes and wrappings more than the actual gifts..........love, pat
