Mineral oil is not recommended for kids under 12 without a doctor's supervision.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

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!

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.

Ayup. Trying to find that perfect carrot! (I wish his concept of time were a little more advanced so I could dangle extra screentime, but I also hope we're not still dealing with this issue by the time he can read a clock...)

Bribery worked on Aidan pretty well, but what worked best was having his teacher tell him he had to do it. Weird, but I wasn't complaining. The only thing that worked with Kara was telling her she couldn't go to preschool unless she went to the toilet on time every time. You probably don't want to wait that long either.
