kids going into your purse

sharon613 @sharon613 (2321) • United States 28 Feb 07

Does this happen to anyone else here. My 18 year old daughter went into my purse yesterday and literally took out $18 that my son had given me to take care of his personal needs. My husband is furious at her and is contemplating...

Mandi2005 For little children, keep your purse up high. You could also, for older children, stop carrying cash and stick to checks/debit/credit cards. An 18 year old should also know that it is wrong to steal, especially from her parents. You need to sit her down and...

Mandi2005 I will find a book, lay back down in bed, and just read. It's a great time to catch up on a new release, and eventually your eyes just get extremely tired and the rest of your body just kind of follows.

Mandi2005 loose clothing might help. Try searching on the Internet for an oatmeal bath recipe. I remember sitting in one. No toys in the tub, but it was very soothing and relaxing. Also, distract her with coloring books or a favorite movie.

Should parents have a say in what and how much grandparents buy for the kids?

Mandi2005 I think grandparents believe they have to spoil the child because they don't actually live with and raise the child. They think it is okay to give them whatever they want and spend a small fortune on them. I think parents should step in and let the...

Violence in the media

Mandi2005 @Mandi2005 (157) • United States 2 Nov 06

Do you think violence in the media contributes to violent acts amongst young people? Why or why not?

3 responses

Mandi2005 ooo I never thought about that! It is really interesting to watch a group of children play together because they are all so different and have different attitudes. They will never eliminate violence from the media, but it is a parent's job to limit the...

Does anybody watch the show "The Biggest Loser"

kgwat70 @kgwat70 (13387) • United States 2 Nov 06

What is your opinion on this show? It helped me to motivate myself to work out and take better care of myself. It helped me to lose weight when I was somewhat overweight and now I am more careful about what I eat.

Mandi2005 I just started a diet, well, Slim Fast, and I watched this show lastnight and was motivated to work out. It felt good too. I like it because it shows the audience the hard work and dedication it takes to lose a significant amount of weight.
