Handling the household chores

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 20 May 09

I was wondering when it comes to the household chores do you usually delegate a specific member of the family to take care of certain things? How about the outside yard work. I believe that every member in a family should have...

Erin88 I do almost all of the chores. I live with my son. He's four, but he helps fold the laundry and keep his room neat. Other than that, I do it.

Are your children like you?

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 6 May 09

Are your children whether teenagers or toddlers acting like you in any way when you were younger? I realize that if you have teenagers they might have a way of representing you. I however have a five year old boy and sometimes he...

Erin88 My son is a clown, just like I was when I was little. He laughs a lot. I think that's something adults forget to do as they get older. He is a good reminder for me to not take things so seriously. He also likes some of the same toys that I did when I was...

Would you rather stay in during the summer or more so in the winter?

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 8 May 09

I am a person that always liked the fall and winter the most out of all of the seasons. I realize that the summer is approaching and where I live which is the south, it can get particularly warm and humid early on in the...

Erin88 I like the fall as well, especially after having really hot summers. I don't mind a little bit of heat, but when we get into the triple digits, you'll find me inside. I cannot handle the heat when it is above 100. When it gets that hot, it just isn't fun. I...

Erin88 I do think dancing can be useful. It is for me. Dancing is a good form of exercise, and helps me to work through any stress I might be having. I think it's a combination of dancing and the music, but it works well for me.

Yay for Garage Sale Bargains!!

marcialoyd @marcialoyd (1173) • United States 9 May 09

I rarely get out to check out the garage sales in the area but my mom wanted to check some out this afternoon. I figured since it was almost noon most garage sales would have nothing left worth buying. But I was wrong. We stopped...

Erin88 I love garage sales. I have found a few good bargains in the past few years. I would have to say that the best ones I've found were a box of kinex (kid's building toys) for $2.00, and a leapfrog learning system with three games for $5.00. I haven't been out at...

Are you in a situation or were you ever in a situation where you felt that you weren't sure if your friend was really your friend or that they were just using you because you were convenient for them? I personally don't like...

Would you commit abortion?

If you'd commit abortion or recommend someone to do it, what would your reason be?

Erin88 I wouldn't have an abortion. If I got pregnant and couldn't give my child a good life, I would give him/her up for adoption. I know several people who are hoping to adopt. I don't think I would ever tell someone they should have an abortion. I think it would...

Do you eat on time?

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 22 Feb 09

Do you always make sure you eat on time? Because of faulty eating habits such as over and undereating, not eating on time, skipping meals, too much soda-drinking when I was younger, and perhaps stress too, I developed gastritis...

Erin88 I eat when I'm hungry. Sometimes that's twice a day, sometimes three times. I try to always eat three times a day, but sometimes it gets busy around here and I don't have enough time. So, I guess I don't really have a proper meal schedule.

Did you have problems when your wisdom teeth were growing?

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 7 Mar 09

I was already 20 years old when my first lower right wisdom tooth showed up. First it caused so much pain on the affected gum. Second, it didn't grow upright like it should be and instead, sideways. The lower left followed but up...

Erin88 I didn't even know I had them until my dentist did an x-ray. Mine ended up being impacted, so they scheduled me for surgery to have them removed. I had some pain after the surgery, but up until that point, I hadn't had any pain. My mom never got her wisdom...

Erin88 There are many days that I wake up and do not feel beautiful. Usually it's when I don't get enough sleep at night. Somehow sleep makes me view things differently. I almost always wear cosmetics when I go out. I'm so used to wearing them that I feel naked...

Have you mistakenly worn your underwear inside out?

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 9 Feb 09

And I'm not referring to when you were a kid and you had just started dressing on your own. Im talking about your adult years and you have mistakenly worn your undies inside out or inverted. have a nice time!!!:-D

Erin88 I actually have accidentally put them on inside out. I didn't notice because they are tagless, so it didn't feel uncomfortable. On a funny note, my son is 3 and sometimes will put his underwear on backwards so he can see the characters on his underwear.

When did your kids do it?

Rachel D Wentz @camomom (7535) • United States 11 Feb 09

My 2 1/2 year old is slowly showing that she may be ready to give up her sippy cups. I've been letting her drink a few sips out of a regular cup everyday for about a month now. She's doing pretty good with it but occasionally...

Erin88 I got my son used to big kid cups by buying a few cups with characters on them that he liked. Some of the dollar stores have some character cups. I lucked out and found some that had Spiderman on them. At the time, he was really into a show called Lazytown. I...

Changing your kitchen sponge

I like to change my kitchen sink sponge every so often because I hear that they contain a lot of bacteria due to moisture. Do you change you sponges on a regular basis also?

Feeling empathy

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 9 Feb 09

Do you find it hard not to have empathy for others even if you don't know them at all? I feel that I do have a lot of compassion. And I feel bad for those that have troubling times whether I know them or not.

Erin88 I often feel empathy for the suffering of others, even if I don't know them. I was watching a segment of a show that was talking about people living in poverty, and it made me feel awful. I found myself crying for these people that I never met, and will never...

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 5 Feb 09
