He does play an American. He is, in actuality, very, very British.

Yeah, I knew he was a Brit - I've been watching him since this or so. I think it was just the construction of "pretending to be" that threw me off - I mean, he's pretending to be a doctor, too, right?

Oh, yes, well. Acting is just pretending for an audience, though, right?

Sure. As I say, it was just the construction that threw me off - I'm just not accustomed to it being described that way, although as I think more about it I guess it makes more sense vis-a-vis the accents (I'm thinking Cary Elwes, mainly because he's so atrocious at accents). I was just thinking that show was all of a sudden really awesome to me - he pretends he's American!

I don't know what Baby Girl dreamed last night, but she woke up sobbing, "My mama! I lost my mama! I lost my house!" This is the second night in a row she's had a nightmare, and I'm pretty sure the first one involved me, too.

I could weep. Anybody have experience with nightmares in children?

I have had terrible, recurrent nightmares my whole life, and Pedro has night terrors (Boy One has had terrors a few times as well), so it's likely that she's inherited that tendency from us. I don't remember my parents doing anything special other than letting me get in bed with them after the really bad ones. But when I was about 6 or 7 I had a nightmare that I woke up from a nightmare and went into my mom's room for comfort, only to discover that she had become a zombie vampire who then tried to bite/eat/kill me, and that was the end of that. I dealt with my nightmares on my own after that.

She might also be having side effects from the melatonin supplement we've started her on (at the geneticist's recommendation), so I think I'm going to try dropping her dose by about 25% to see if that helps. Has anyone else had nightmares from melatonin? I know it can happen but it's not considered a "common" side effect.

I can see that working with Boy One, but Girl Thing is seriously waking up in hysterics and unable to be calmed even after she sees that I and her house are fine and not lost. And she can't yet articulate the scary parts in more than half a dozen words. Remember, she is two, and she has a bit of a communication delay at that. (Not as much as Boy One did, but just enough so you'd notice.)

Holding her and offering comfort does not seem like enough. I want to fix it. I want there to be a magic answer, and I suspect there probably is none.

Personally, I'd rather hear about Jayelle's folks than that (probably you would have, too).

yikes.

I want my kids to have a healthy attitude towards sex, but do not want them to tell me about their sexcapades.

related: last night I had a dream where I saw my parents in a movie, back when they were actors in LA (this never happened.) At some point I realized there was going to be a sex scene, and turned the movie off. They were really bad actors.

When I was 19 my mom caught me coming in at 2am or something after canoodling with my girlfriend (who she had not yet met).  "I don't care what the Pope says, you'd better be using some kind of protection - or two!  I'm too young to be a grandma!" (She was 45 at the time).  Fast forward 14 years - after 2 years of childless marriage "Don't wait too long, I don't want to be an old granny to little ones!".  Women and their time schedules.

From now on more of my advice is going to prefaced with 'I don't care what the Pope says'.

Maybe the sex scene would have saved it.

Seriously. If Onstad wrote that it would be a thread title.

Natty P agrees

also, in the dream my parents were "young," which meant they looked like they do now but with goofy wigs.

My mom is frequently, unintentionally, brilliant/funny. I wish I could remember half the stuff she says. There'd be a memoir someday.  Glad I'm along for the ride.

This morning I dreamed it was the period where my ex said she was leaving but hadn't actually moved out yet. She was having a party, I was going elsewhere and just before I left I walked in on her changing, she freaked out. Oh, and she had a tiny wang.

This was unintentionally funny? Your mom is kind of a bad-ass.

As opposed to the enormous wang she has in reality? Zing!

Couldn't help myself. It's an illness, really.
