How much would you pay?

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:32:20 EDT

I want to become a Child Care provider starting this fall. I was wondering what other moms thought was fair to charge for a week of care at 5 days a week and 8 hrs a day-with food and without food. I want it to be fair but not expensive. I was thinking $100 a week w/out food, $125 a week w/ food and $50 a week for after school care. Any thoughts?

Testing to see if they are ready for kindergarden?

My cousin went to go register her daughter for kindergarden and she didnt meet the cut off for age. But they asked if she had even been tested to see if she was ready and even if she met the cut off and "failed" the testing she would have to start off in pre-k.... is it just me or did they used to teach you your abc's and 123's in kindergarden and pre-k didnt matter?

Advice on how to wean my 17 month old son off breastfeeding?

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:05:21 EDT

My son is 17 months old and I am getting to the point where I think I need to start weaning him off of nursing. A lot of the time, I think he uses it more as comfort than for the actual nourishment. Usually, he can't even take a nap without nursing first, which has made it hard for any other person to put him down for a nap or bed. I have tried to get him to eat more solids, but he always ends up coming to me and lifting up my shirt to nurse. It doesn't help that many people make remarks such as "Why are you still nursing him at 17 months old!!! You need to stop!" Ugh, I hate those comments. I'm mostly worried about stopping because he wont eat much solids (maybe one or 2 meals, if that) and I want to make sure he gets enough nourishment. Also, the fact that he has trouble sleeping without nursing also worries me. I really need advice and would appreciate anything from mothers that have gone through the same thing. Thank you
