950.1 | Wards? | CSSE32::RANDALL | Bonnie Randall Schutzman, CSSE/DSS | Thu Jun 06 1991 12:32 | 9 |
| Did you try Montgomery Ward? I don't know where the nearsest
store to you would be.
They usually have something sturdy and usable for well under $350.
Sometimes it's the floor model -- we got a table and 6 chairs for
$179 several years back because it was a discontinued model and
they wanted to get rid of it.

RE: Montgomery Ward
If you live in the Gardner area (where I'm originally
from), the closes Montgomery Ward would be in Nashua
but I'm not *exactly* positive where the store would
be...
A few suggestions, although I have no idea on how much
they run, (you can always call)
Airport Furniture, Crawford St., Leominster
SEAPEN::CLASSIFIED_ADS if you don't mind used furniture
Lechmere (maybe?!) Greendale Mall, Worcester
Pheasant Lane Mall, Nashua, NH
What about a Rent-a-Center type place that would be
willing to rent to own??

950.3 | that's quite a ways! | CSSE32::RANDALL | Bonnie Randall Schutzman, CSSE/DSS | Thu Jun 06 1991 15:57 | 5 |
| The Montgomery Ward in Nashua is across from the Nashua Mall,
off exit 6. Isn't there one in Fitchburg or something????? Seems
like even Worcester would be closer.

I was just over a friends house last night and saw their new kitchen
set. It was nice, butcher block type top, etc... Should be plenty big
enough for your family, but not "overpowering". Really nice looking
I thought. She said they got it at the FAIR, in Worcester. I think she
said it was $99 for the table, and the chairs were seperate. Oh, and
there was assembly required. But it sure was sturdy!
Good Luck.

| RE. 4
They have the same set at Bradlees. It looks pretty nice for an
inexpensive set.
Also..a few back. There isn't a Montgomery Wards in Fitchburg any
more. It's been gone for years.

950.6 | maybe a kiddie table will solve your problem | CNTROL::STOLICNY | | Fri Jun 07 1991 12:04 | 12 |

I've been trying to figure out what this note has to do with
"Parenting" :-). So, I'll try to keep my reply in tune with
the file...
Maybe you'd consider getting a children's table and chair set or
a kiddie picnic table (only ~$30). I know some people that have
had never-ending battles trying to get their kids to eat in their
high chairs and/or at the table and have ended up having them eat
at their "own" table. No more fights!

950.8 | want used good one ?? | ISLNDS::JANCAITIS | Que sera, sera | Fri Jun 07 1991 15:18 | 17 |
| If you're only interested in "new", disregard the rest of this
note.......
I moved recently, into what was my Dad's home (he passed away
last year).....because I was combining 2 households into one,
naturally, you end up with a "few" ( :-} ) duplicates !!
Anyway, I have an extra kitchen set that I'd be willing to
sell, very reasonably - seats 4, has leaf to expand to 6,
along with four chairs.
give me a call or send mail if interested

| We used the small Fisher Price table set in our kitchen when we moved
in to a house with a dining room and an eat in kitchen last winter. My
boys were 2+ and 4+. I did it because we needed something in that spot
in the kitchen and couldn't afford a regular size table at the time.
It worked out great for us - they had breakfast and lunch there and the
floor was much easier to clean up.
Now they are 4+ and 6 and we have a regular size table and chairs.

950.9 | Thanks for the help. | AKOCOA::BOLAND | | Mon Jun 17 1991 16:51 | 18 |

Regarding: .6
If you look at the first line in my note you'll see that I state that
I'm having a problem with my 'big' little girl. You see she will only
eat dinner on Daddy's lap. I was hoping for any additional insight on
this also...but also could use some advice on the cost of a kichenette
since kids are tough on everything, I didn't want to spend large
amounts of money. :-(
We did purchase a table with 4 chairs at the Bradford warehouse
liquidation sale (one day only), we purchased a rock maple table with
4 chairs (new) for $299.00.
Thanks for the help!

950.10 | Don't let her out... | HYSTER::DELISLE | | Tue Jun 18 1991 11:28 | 16 |
| Re .9 -- It's been my experience that most children go through the
phase of not eating unless they are sitting on your lap. And it
happens around 1 1/2 years old. My son, 22 months has recently gone
thruogh the "hold me on your lap while I eat off your plate" phase, and
it reminded me that the others had gone through it too.
The cure? Like many other things with children, you simply don't do
it. If you want to eat your dinner in peace, insist on the child
sitting in his or her own seat while you eat. I have taken Josh out
and put him back in his high chair 5 or 6 times during dinner,
recently, because he was screaming to sit in my lap to eat. My answer
to him was you either eat in your high chair, or you are excused from
the table.
Hang in there. Don't start any habits you don't want!

950.11 | ditto .10 | CNTROL::STOLICNY | | Tue Jun 18 1991 15:19 | 13 |

I agree with .10. If you don't want to get in the habit of her
sitting in your lap, try not to allow it at all. Some nights Jason sits
in his highchair with no fuss, other times he wants out from the
minute we put him in (this happens mostly when he's just not
hungry). His choices are to sit in his high chair or to get down.
As far as .9 re: my .6, I was responding to the note title "Looking
for a good price kitchenette". I thought I was reading
CLASSIFIED_ADS!
