Friday and Saturday, my PWD was agitated, anxious, and a lot more verbally confrontational than usual. Today everything seemed OK again—or at least back to our current baseline.

This behavior coincided with the full moon, and I am wondering whether you see such an effect in your LO. A quick search of the web turns up contradictory studies on the question, but this weekend was odd enough that I began to wonder about lunar effects. Is this something that seems real for you?

    There was a husband caring for his wife who swore by it.

    I didn't see it with dad or my aunt.
