I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all the new members to the guild.. We are trying to make this a place where you can share your frustrations and share your successes... If you need advice there are some moms here that are over 30, I am one of them..LOL my name is Ginger and you can add me as a friend as well as send a pm anytime you want.... If I don't answer back right away don't fret as I have just gone back to school after many years to change my venue of work. So come one come all and have fun... We would like to get the guild going strong so those that are parents can have a place to come to to talk to others that are parents as well and share in whatever we want to share about...

Hi there!
I am one of those....over 30 I mean...lol

I have two girls (9 and 5) and one boy (10 months), and I must say that compared to my boy, the girls were sooooo easy when they were little!
Soren is not sleeping well, has terrible temper tantrums (I never knew that even existed at his age!!!), nothing will calm him down, once he's pissed off! I have tried soooo many things. Letting him cry it out does so NOT work with him. I never even considered doing that, but gosh, I can only take so much, you know! It's like the more you wanna love him and hold him, the more he tries to pull away from you and kick you and what not. I know he's getting his teeth in, but it's been like this pretty much from day one. You would have thought that I'd have everything figured out by now, having already had two kids and all...but nooooooo.
Sometimes it gets so frustrating and I really have to realize that he's only a baby and that it's nothing personal against my parenting skills....(that's what I hope at least...lol). I know that this too, shall pass, I just wish it would pass just a teeny tiny bit quicker! Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a "boy thing"?

That is hard to say if it is a boy thing...LOL I had 2 boys and 1 girl and the girl was the easiest by far but my 2 boys were different as night and day my oldest threw the tantrums and my youngest was laid back... So I think it depends on the kid.... Most of the problem with my son that had the tantrums was ear infections... Which came on out of the blue... I remember this one time I took him to the Dr in the morning and he was fine, then that night he woke up at 1am screaming at the top of his lungs and was running a fever... Turned out he had an Ear infection...

oh wow! It's scary how they just appear out of nowhere! My girls never had ear infections, hope Soren doesn't have one. He doesn't have a Temperature or tugs on his ears or anything.
Yeah, my two girls are so diffent as well...my oldest started walking at 9 (!) months, Illyana was 13 months. Their Character is sooo different (they have different Dads).

Yeah my daughter Katelynn walked at 9 months too...LOL Have you tried taking Soren for a ride in the car when he is cranky? That would help with TC.. He would always fall asleep within 10 minutes.... And then I would carry him in in his carseat and let him sleep in the carseat cause the minute I picked him up he would start screaming again...LOL If you get a washcloth and get it wet then put an ice cube in it with a rubberband wrapped around it that would help his gums when he was teething...
