Conker I think that of all the women I've met who have had children, more often that not they suffered post-partum depression. Based on my own experiences I think it is underdiagnosed. I went through a terrible period of post-partum depression for a whole year after...

Watch out! Hand sanitizers are poisonous to children.

wrangel15 @wrangel15 (1443) • Philippines 28 Nov 08

Conker I completely avoid using hand sanitizer with my two-year-old. I try to avoid exposing him to chemicals when it can be avoided. Plus hand washing is a much more effective means of cleaning and sanitizing hands. I know parents who just squirt hand sanitizer on...

Do I have to choose my love or my study?

nheansocheath @nheansocheath (308) • Cambodia 26 Nov 08

I am very difficult to make a good decision for my problem. I love a girl very much, and everyday I always spend my time with her in order to make her feel warm with me. She like me very much. She said that she want to stay with...

Conker I think that if she really loves you she needs to accept that there are other things in your life that are important as well as her. If she is taking up all of your time and you do not have time to pursue other important things in your life this is an...

What's so wrong with it?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 26 Nov 08

Why are some people so opposed to boys playing with 'girl' toys, or playing dress up, or wanting to do what the girls are doing? I get so annoyed when I see parents punish their boys for playing dress up, for wanting to push a...

Conker I couldn't agree more. I have a toddler and he does not have the foggiest idea of the difference in gender roles. He has a toy kitchen and toy trucks which he plays with equally. I would never dream of stepping in and ruining his fun. This would send the wrong...

Chocolate lovers!! It's a hit in the UK - will it be one in the US??

Wendy @jerzgirl (9327) • United States 26 Nov 08

There's a new chocolate bar in town in England. They can't even keep it on the shelves. There's even a part of me that's intrigued by this particular chocolate bar and I'm not that into chocolate. I do like the "salt/sweet"...

Conker I'll have to wait until my next trip back to England to try this one. The British seem to have a much higher appreciation for the sweet and salty combo than Americans. My favorite is sweet and salty popcorn which you can't get at all in the U.S. cinemas. I...

Do you believe that people really fall in love online?

mimpi @mimpi1911 (25464) • India 26 Nov 08

Love varies from person to person. When asked about their definition, people will give different answers, because they perceive it differently. So it depends on US actually. To me, I fall in love with a person's personality, his...

Conker I think that to some extent it is possible to fall in love online. But there are certain things missing that cannot be compensated for. Nothing can take the place of spending time face to face with a person and seeing if there is physical chemistry. Online you...

Conker While having money does ease the stress and burden of worrying about money, it can also serve as a distraction. We just happen to have been born into a world that places a great emphasis on money so we have no choice but to sumbit the expectations of society...

Conker In my experience Labrador Retreivers are the best family dogs. Of course every dog has an individual temperment but so far I've not met a lab I do not like. They tend to be friendly, playful, and unaggressive. Good luck with the search!

tumenoa @tumenoa (58) • Uganda 25 Nov 08

I have read many comments about reading, but i have not read any about African writers. Take an example of Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart", it is one of the greatest novels ever written. I implore you to read it, and see...
