Poop bags and bins in the park

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 4 Aug 07

Yesterday morning I took my daughter and my dog for a walk down the park near our house. Whilst I was there, my dog did his business, and I scooped it up. But I wish I hadn't. There was not a single bin (or any more poop bags)...

Is she really a friend???

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 4 Aug 07

One of my best friends, or so I thought she was. I invited her to my daughters christening, and RSVP-ed that she could come. And then she didn't show. No email, no SMS, nothing to say she wasn't coming or to apologise or anything....

Can men and women ever really be just friends?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 24 Apr 07

I know my husband would never cheat on me, but this weekend just passed has been the third time someone has accused him of cheating on me. The problem is - women find it easy to confide in him, and become friends with him. This...

How did you choose your childs name?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 6 Apr 07

Is there any story behind it? Ours is kinda boring. DH had just always loved the name Krystle. I just wanted a unique way of spelling it. I went to school with a girl called Crystal, and one called Krystal and I didn't like...

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 6 Apr 07

Before I had my daughter, I had a pretty active life, and I thought I had lots of friends. But as soon as I got pregnant and she was born, most of them seemed to disappear.... it's funny how life events make you realise just...

What is your childs favourite toy?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 6 Apr 07

I always find it funny that you could buy a child the most expensive toy ever, and it gets rejected for something that cost nowhere near as much. My daughters favourite toy is this brightly coloured spider that is on a spring....

How do I raise my daughter right?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 29 Mar 07

My daughter is only 6 months old, so I know I have a long way to go. But I'm terrified that she's going to turn bad, disrespect authority, herself, and things like that. I don't want her to turn into a bad kid, but you see so many...

What happened to kids being kids?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 24 Mar 07

Why are our children being forced to grow up so fast?? My daughter is nearly 6 months old and will be starting swimming lessons, so I went to buy her some bathers (size 00). You know what I found? The only baby bathers they had...

My brother absolutely adores my daughter. It's funny, he'd always been the 'tough guy'. But around her, he's putty!! He's been working away in the mines, making a lot of money. So he phoned me and said when he was back home he...

Should toy manufacturers have a responsibility towards parents and kids?

SilPhil @SilPhil (267) • Australia 20 Mar 07

I know, the point of any business is to make money, and so companies are going to keep making rubbish, as long as kids buy it. But at the end of the day, do you think these companies have a responsibility towards us as parents,...
