Jessica, have you tried mineral oil? My cousin used to slip that in a milk shake for her kid.
Nice acronym, Mom!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mineral oil is not recommended for kids under 12 without a doctor's supervision.

Jessica. Prunes. Seriously. Prune juice. Quartered prunes. We have been there.

Short of fois-gras style force feeding, prune juice has been a no-go for us.
We're already doing oatmeal with dried fruit every morning for breakfast, and Fiber Gummies at dinnertime. The problem isn't fiber, it's willpower.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Small first-world bitch: I just found out that I don't have a ride to a niece's wedding. The sister I live with and her spouse are distancing themselves from me and are planning a weekend activity that includes other things besides the wedding and staying over-night, so no ride there. And my brother is taking both of his in-town married daughters plus spouses and grand-kids, so no ride there.
If it weren't a matter of hours away, I would just drive myself. But with the Fibromyalgia, I don't feel comfortable spending hours on the highway, stuck in one position and maintaining my concentration level.
I don't have the where-with-all to stay overnight myself, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Well, I was basing my worry on driving from my old home town and it was a good 3-4 hour drive. Turns out it's only about 2 from my new home town. So, Nevermind!

Oi. That sucks.
Bribery?

Speaking as a woman whose firstborn only pooped while wearing a diaper and hiding in a closet until about 3.5, you have my sympathies. No advice, but sympathy.
Edit: uh, that was to Jessica.

Quester, I hate to say it, but perhaps the bus? I hate when family gets weird.
