cdparazo @cdparazo (5765) • Philippines 7 May 07

I have always been adamant not to allow those who just gave birth or had miscarriages to return to work right away. Some would return to work just after 2 weeks of giving birth because they need the money. Sometimes they beg me to...

FromDaIsland Depending on what kind of job it is, how far along a woman is when she miscarried and her emotional health, I don't think it's a problem to be back at work right after a miscarriage, I was back at work the next day after miscarrying, I was in my 6th week and...

FromDaIsland Like all discussions above, it is absolutely normal for a small child to put things in his mouth. This is because it is a way of exploring objects, they are still learning about the world around them and they tend to be very curious about everything, they have...

toplen @toplen (335) • Philippines 29 Mar 07

FromDaIsland In South Africa, usually, when a person is 21 he/she leaves to love on his/her own. I think it would also depend on the maturity of a person, some 18 year old aren't mature enough to live on their own. I think from when a person is 20 and up is a good age to...
