I'm currently pregnant with my first and now that my family knows about it, they've still accepted me, my dad commenting that he prefered that there's no father at all. With a sigh of relief, I'm now hoping that everything would...

1hipmomma I had the same worries when I was pregnant, but now that shes here, and I've had some time, I dont worry so much. There will be a day when you have to explain why everyone else has a daddy...and that day will probably break your heart, but if you choose your...

What did you want to do before your kids were born?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 12 Jun 07

Before my daughter was born, I wanted to finish my degree. Or, even get one started. But, it seemed that fate and lack of finances always stood in the way. Now that she's here, it's hard enough to pay bills with one income, and...

1hipmomma I wanted to go back to school and get my degree, and just as you my tiny wallet always got in the way. I am also a single mom, and it is very hard to work full time, make that money stretch, and spend quality time with my daughter. I'm so afraid she'll grow up...

Dont call him that.

vorbro @vorbro (83) • United States 12 Jun 07

Hi Everyone. Well for some reason I keep catching myself calling my son Bubba. Hes got a cute little round face and it just fits him to me. Of course some would see this as having negative conotations. For instance my loving wife...

1hipmomma LOL Bubba is cute for now, but you are right, he probably wont appreciate it when he's older. I would try replacing it with something equally "natural" to you...or something close to bubba, like buddy. I got the habit of calling my daugher Punkin-head (her...

1hipmomma Yeah...and I lovingly call the people that start such rumors and drama "sh*t starters". The world is full of them. Some people, for whatever reason (boredom?), need drama in their lives. My step-father is a big one. When it comes to him, I can't do anything...

Hi, Can someone please explain to me about ratings? How can I check my ratings? How does "best response" affect the ratings of others? How does the selecting "+" affect the ratings of others? Thanks for your help.

1hipmomma I'm new to mylot, but the best i can gather, the little numbered stars by peoples names correlate how many good responses or discussions they've posted. The numbers go up and down as they are rated + or - i guess. So if you give a + rating, you'll boost their...

Why people tend to believe in their lies

yemberzal @yemberzal (301) • India 12 Jun 07

I have seen and noticed many a people though they know they are lying in a given moment, make themselves believe that they are speaking truth.

truthful liars

3 responses

1hipmomma i agree with sandwegde...i know a guy who is a compulsive liar, and he's told his lies so much that you really have to get to know him to realize that its all bullshit. On the other hand, some people just have good poker faces.

Too young for MTV?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 4 Jun 07

One of the moms in our local play group admitted that she lets her six year old daughter watch MTV. Do you think it's right to expose a child to those types of influences at such a young age? Or, am I being old...

1hipmomma Um no. I dont even watch MTV. Because it is stupid. But I'd never let my daughter watch it at such a young age. Seems like by the time she is 6, they'll be allowed to say anything on tv.

jencai @jencai (3412) • Philippines 17 May 07

1hipmomma I have a friend who wants to propose to his gf, but doesnt because he doesnt feel he is good enough to marry her bc he can't afford the ring he wants....much less a wedding...so maybe it is not you or cowardice thats stopping him, but something else.

Would you ever donate your eggs to a friend so she could have a baby?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 1 Jun 07

I just heard a story of this woman who donated her eggs to a woman so the couple could have a baby. Honestly, I don't think I could do it, cause everytime I saw the kid, I would feel like she or he were my child. And, I...

1hipmomma I think I could donate my eggs to a friend, but doing it anonomously would be better...because you never know how you'll feel about it until it actually happens. Donating i could do, but surrogate mothers, those are some strong women. I could not carry a baby...
