AmberN My mom taught me that when making meatloaf, either you'll have to drain it during baking, or you could put a piece or 2 of bread on the bottom of the pan and it will soak up the grease!

I once saw an episode of I Love Lucy, where Lucy went into labor, and Ricky waited outside in the waiting room because fathers were not permitted to be in the delivery room. That was of course a long time ago. My...

AmberN and first let me say that you are wrong. Tantrums ARE very normal because young children often dont know how to express themselves and they get frustrated when they "think" a parent isnt understanding what they want. How do i know this? because ive done TONS...

When I was five, in K-5, as we called it, I wore a training bra. My mom had the worst time with me because I'd forget to wear it, or I'd sleep with it on. Hey, I was five! I wasn't a fat child at all, I just matured fast. When I...

AmberN Yep, thats the things I told her. I told her that if she ever acted that way again, she would not be allowed to stay over. She knows how she was acting was wrong, thats why she took it upon herself to apologize.

AmberN Thanks for your response! Sam is NOT trained at all! He's been kind of difficult since he was a puppy and she never got a hold of him. He's 5 now. I will mention the muzzle to her, but they think do anything like that is cruel. We have a black lab, actually...

AmberN well if my post gave her more publicity, you gave her some by responding. I do agree that its hardly an example for other girls her age...if i had a daughter her age, this would be a time that i would set her down and have a talk.
