so BLE did you ever try a sls free toothpaste for minible? Just curious if it worked for you guys.

I need a beer.
No, we haven't bought him any yet. He hasn't seemed to have had many the past few months, so I really forgot about it. I did see that about the only toothpastes I could find without sls were sensitive toothpastes like sensodyne.

There are a few for kids. For the time being we have the bubble gum flavored kids crest...it is a hello kitty package but minisnick doesn't know any better right now. There is a brand called kiss my face that has a kids SLS free, I was going to try that one next but it is usually found at the natural places like whole foods etc which we don't have around here so it will have to wait until we go north for easter to buy it. I can get it online but with shipping it makes it way too expensive for toothpaste.
Already?! Is he thinking about moving out of state, or will he stay close enough to have you do his laundry on the weekends?
Most of the local stores around me carry Tom's brand. I've been using it for over 4 yrs and really like it.
Went to my sister and BIL's last night and my nephew (almost 3) was being a whiny little b. Is this common or is it due to upbringing? He'd go off and start balling about everything, is this what I have to look forward to?

Yeah the supposed all natural Tom's kids toothpaste that they carry by us has SLS in it...so much for all natural
Tom's does make a SLS free but they don't carry it around here

It's because of his toothpaste...
Seriously though, his upbringing does factor in quite a bit on this. If his parents fawn over him everytime he whines, then he'll whine everytime he wants something. Positive reinforcement of bad behavior.
With time and exposure to others, he will learn who he can and can't be a whiny little b to and get away with it. My 6yr old daughter is a manipulative little b (and has been her whole life). She has learned it works on her teachers, her friends, her friends' parents, and her grandparents, but knows it does NOT work with me.

Completely unrelated kiddo post:

Definitely in state since, otherwise, tuition would be very expensive...The university we visited is about 2 hours away...Right now, he wants to go mechanical...
QFT. often times the "only child" will not come to realize this until they get to be in middle school or even high school becasue the parents dote on them and give in.It's because of his toothpaste...

My neighbor has 2 girls, ages 3 & 5. They dote on them endlessly, even to the point that they let the kids sleep with them at night. It's to the point now, that neither one of their girls can go to bed without a parent lying in bed with them, and their oldest with throw some EPIC tantrums if she doesn't get what she wants, which leads to her parents getting totally embarrased and ultimately caving. She tried one of her tantrums when she was over playing with my daughter shortly after moving into the neighborhood and Mrs. Dex pulled a "aw naw you d'nt" response. Girl has yet to throw a tantrum in front of Mrs Dex ever since. It's all about setting limits and sticking with them, and it usually only needs to be done once. I've left full grocery carts in the middle of shopping because mini-dex tried a tantrum and I told him "stop it or we're going home" and he didn't stop, so we went home.
The only issue we've been facing with our kids as they're getting older is the fact that they've learned a rather extensive adult language (Mrs Dex and I didn't watch what we were saying and knew it would lead to this), and they have also started picking up our short fuses. A couple weeks ago I told my son he couldn't have a snack before bed, so he turned and yelled "well then, F*ck this" as he ran back upstairs. Kid got his ass whooped for that one, and gets video game privledges returned at the end of the month.

Wife and I have definitely been better about our language since our son came home (4 months) but we definitely aren't the best. I drop lots of F bombs, usually during basketball games which he loves watching with me.
If my son said that I would probably be laughing on the inside, but wouldn't be able to show it on the outside.
