Now for my daughters -- ironclad net nanny software when the time comes. They won't even be able to e-mail anyone named Richard.

I checked with some granola munching friends, and that said that is a neo-sexist approach. No offence. What software will you use with your daughters?

I am indeed irretrievably protective and paternalistic, but I have no sons to generate intra-familial jealousy.

Despite my wise-ass comments I know nothing about net nanny software yet. (Except that Dad will have the password.) Our oldest is just learning how to use that tricky mouse in the games on www.playhousedisney.com, so I figure I have some time.

Couple of things- you will be shocked by the stuff kids are doing in various chats and diary pages and other crap- looking at porno is the least of your worries. the average 12 year old is doing stuff that would shock their parents. We got software that monitors everything that is done on a computer. We can see all chats, we know codes to all facebook pages, webpages, etc. From seeing things posted on our kids pages by other kids we probably know more about what our neighbors kids are doing than their parents do.

It's like taking the pill in the Matrix- I'm not sure we wouldn't have been better off not knowing lots of it. But it does help knowing when your kid is really heading into trouble.

Anyone who wants to know what to get PM me.

I am going out with the lady friend noted above again tonite after a short break. She is using the same babysitter noted above. Would it be wrong to install keystroke software on the computer to get a full grasp of what this "freak between the sheets" sitter is up to? (eg on email and IM) For research purposes only........

It's one of them, but not the primary. Try 15 year old "Hot4Teacher".

If the Bush FDA is putting a warning on ADHD drugs, can I ask the kindergarten teacher who insisted my kid go on these drugs to shove broken glass up her ass?

I think there are warning labels about that too.

Thanks.

Anyone here have a Phil&Ted's E3 double stroller? I'm thinking of getting one and would love real-world feedback.

Congratulations. Just remember to stop at two. The degree of difficulty increases exponentially after that.

Congratulations! I'm 19 months older than my brother. It worked well for us.

Why do people make these types of comments? (Uh, and how many do you have?)

As for the Phil & Ted's, I've heard a lot of good things about it, but mostly from moms on listservs rather than IRL. I also think it looks very cool, and I would have bought one after my daughter was born, but for not wanting to jinx anything by buying something for a second baby. The only negative points I have heard, though, are (1) that its size and weight render it a better neighborhood stroller than trunk of the car stroller, and (2) that as the toddler gets heavier, it seems like the lower seat might become uncomfortable.

As for point (1), there is no magic bullet stroller anyway, so later on you could get a MacClaren twin or similar lightweight double once #2 is old enough to sit up in it; and as for point (2), that may just be projection of an adult's idea of comfort and the kids don't really care (which some parents do report), and the real point of the double stroller for a toddler/infant pair is to have a place for #1 son to sit when he gets tired of running around.
