Peeing in public

I am in the process of potty training my son. How should I handle peeing in public (way out in the open)? Do I ever allow that? Under what circumstances?

Candy as a reward

Sugar/candy issues aside (please don't lecture me on giving my kid candy as a reward), can I use Easter candy, Halloween candy, or gifted candy as rewards for good behavior or potty?

another stroller?

My kids are 3 and 1. I have a double, side-by-side Maclaren that I can hardly push it is so awkward (it was great until the kids got bigger). I have a double jogger that is absurdly large for anything but a long walk outside. The 3yo will still ride/walk. But for the times he won't be around, I've got a single Maclaren and a singer jogger.

Should I sell everything and buy a Phil and Ted's e3? Has anyone used one with approx. 65 lb of kid? It just looks so easy to maneuver compared with what I've already got.

eating out.

Do you ever eat out with your kids? How often? Do you go to real restaurants or kid-friendly restaurants? (And how old are your kids?)

Most importantly: what are your tricks for keeping your kids happily non-screaming in mixed (kid/adult) company?

more about poop.

Anyone with potty trained kids get from the state of always pooping in a pull up to pooping in the potty? Nothing is working. We are feeling helpless.

waiter, there's a choking hazard in my soup.

What did you have to mail back to the company? Have you received your replacements yet? Have you changed the way you shop as a result of all of the recent recalls of toys?

single white female?

How do you make friends without looking desperate or stalker-ish? What's a good opening line when you want to meet another parent? I had a mom send her kid over to talk to my kid, just so she could ask about my hair. It felt weird and forced, but we did end up talking, so I guess it worked. I am usually not spontaneous enough to find an opening line that doesn't feel awkward and dorky. Do you have a standby that works?

Whoops, the stroller I meant is the Phil and Ted's Sport Double. Sorry about that. The e3 is a side-by-side, not much of a change.

My 3 year old goes through waves... some days he'll eat anything, some days he's fasting. His mainstays are cheese, rolled-up lunchmeat, cut fruit, cashew ...
