ModelMom There is NO way that I Would let my 5 year old son or daughter go into a public restroom alone. That woman you overheard sounds too opinionated and judgemental for her own good. It is a sad fact, that nowadays you just can't be too careful with your kids....

ModelMom You are by far NOT a bad mother! You sound like you need a break, and quite honestly, we live in a society that does not allow moms to feel the way you do. We are supposed to be super moms loving every minute of every day with our kids no matter how hairy it...

Lady, it's just a darn mouse for crying out loud.....I'm outraged.

mari61960 @mari61960 (4893) • United States 3 Jan 07

I was at a local pet store today and a woman and her daughter were looking at gerbils. The little girl about 7 or 8 yrs old, noticed a baby mouse that was missing it's foot. The mother got a staff person and told them. The guy...

ModelMom I have no words for what you witnessed. That is just atrocious and that poor child must have been traumatized! Unbelievable, I really am shocked. Hopefully the manager did something about that employee's behavior. It may just be a mouse, but it is still a...

What age do you think is too old to have a baby?

megs85 @megs85 (3142) • Australia 7 Dec 06

You hear about women, over 60 having a child, and I cant help but wonder if it is unfair on the child. I am not trying to say that an older woman is not as good a parent as a younger woman or anything like that, but how can most...

ModelMom I don't think having a child at a very young age is good....but I also don't think that being over 40 is a good idea either. My father was 45 when I was born and we have always had this huge generation gap between us that has made it hard to have a friend as...
