hollydfromtn DS had diarrhea without fever for about week (7 days, IIRC, with the first and last days being not as bad) a few months ago. He was in good spirits, eating and sleeping normally, with plenty of urine so no signs of dehydration. Since it resolved on its own, I assumed it was a stomach virus. Had it gone on any longer, I would've called my pedi.

mishka29 family A parents don't want to share a room with their kid or don't want their kid to share a room with the other kids?

Family A's kids share a room at home. they are also willing to share with their kids. But after getting a raw deal the last couple of years the kids want a room upstairs. Since I was pregnant and then had a tiny baby I usually got a pretty good deal. So I guess this year we get the crappy basement. Just frustrating bc family C never has to take one for the team.

Yeah I would be irritated. The adults shouldn't get shafted for the kids. And the kids would love sleeping in the same room. Family C is being a little helicopter ish. If I was being passive aggressive I would see if you and your kiddos could stay at family A house with their kiddos.

You hit the nail on the head with the helicopter parenting. But I swear they take it to an extreme sometimes. I rarely see their kid laughing and she never plays in a physical way - jumping, rolling around, climbing inside forts. As soon as she starts having fun mom or dad takes her away for quiet time. It's sad in my opinion.

It is sad for all of them. The kid needs to play and learn and I can not imagine the added stress that type of parenting puts on the parents. I always wonder if helicopter parents, especially to that extreme, have undiagnosed / untreated PPA. I am sure not all do but some?
