I can't believe that my cousin got so offended over a small thing.

cream97 @cream97 (29086) • United States 12 May 11

This week, I told my cousin Happy Mother's Day on Facebook. And he told me that he was not a Mother, but Happy Mother's Day to me too. I then told him, that if he has a Mother, then Mother's Day was meant for him too. After I said...

MommaOfAllTrades A family favourite here that doesn't get old is my pasta salad. As for veggies, I add whatever I have on hand (celery, carrots, peppers, onions), cheese, gerkin pickles and instead of a creamy base salad dressing, I reach for Catalina. The kids LOVE...

MommaOfAllTrades Very interesting theory. I would have to add that Making the First Circle Work would apply to a lot of other areas in life - not just in business. As a mother, as a wife, I have to make my circle work. It is within this circle that I can ensure the next...

How do you help increase a little child's learning ability?

bingskee @bingskee (5234) • Philippines 14 Aug 10

This is actually a discussion for young or new mothers. When I was a new mother at 27, I had to realize that while growing, children does not know anything and that they have difficulty learning things fast. This requires a lot...

MommaOfAllTrades You must provide as many opportunities as you can through a variety of resources. It's amazing what you can learn through games and outings! Parents seem to forget that!

What household chore would you rather do....wash clothes or wash dishes?

Toofancy @Toofancy (548) • United States 15 Aug 10

Everybody has a least favorite chore....mine is dusting. But that is not a daily chore for me. Washing clothes and washing dishes seem to be non-ending, and I have to do both of those chores everyday. Which would you rather do?

MommaOfAllTrades I enjoy washing dishes however I despise drying or putting away. With that said, I also like filling up the washer with clothes but hate the rest of the laundry process LOL Except if I get the chance to hang clothes on the line outside. I love doing that as...

What will I do for my baby's first birthday to make it really special?

vhings_88 @vhings_88 (294) • Philippines 10 Aug 10

Time just run so fast that my baby is turning one year old. I could still remember the day I gave birth to him and now he's turning one. His birthday is coming soon and I don't have any plans yet how to celebrate it and make it...

MommaOfAllTrades The first birthday is a great milestone but my first suggestion will be to keep it simple. He won't remember this birthday and really won't care if it was his biggest birthday bash ever. People generally tend to over do it for their own 'peace of mind' which...

MommaOfAllTrades Every child is different. I have one avid reader and one who couldn't care less. I have always provided them with books of interest no matter what. What kind of topics do your children enjoy? Reading is reading... so provide a variety. Visit the library and...

My friend struggle hard to put his children through good education

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 9 Aug 10

A friend of mine has two children, one is 6, another one is about 8 1/2. He has put up $30,000 at least per year to put both of his children to good school, especially private school. There is nothing wrong with a parent who...

MommaOfAllTrades There are a lot of reasons why a parent would choose to spend that kind of money on tuition. I don't know where your friend is or what the public schools are like in his area but some children need better direction than what the public school can give them....

MommaOfAllTrades I'm so sorry to hear about your lost. I also lost a baby to the parvo virus after vaccination. Sometimes their little bodies simply can't fight off the virus regardless and they succumb so very fast. Take care of your fur-babies. They will also need you in...

Do you use the same glass your friend is using while you drink something? For me, I really don't unless we are in the state of emergency. If I can not see other glass to use, I might force myself to use the same glass but if there...

MommaOfAllTrades Can't we just simply co-exist? I mean it would be nice to be understood and to understand all but it's not very practical. I have friends of many culture. I ask a lot of questions, I want to learn about their thoughts, beliefs, religion but I don't always...
