tiffsmom2007 @tiffsmom2007 (279) • United States 20 Mar 07

Whenever I tell my 14 year old to do something she either gives me this look or flat out refuses to do it. I don't want to spank her, she is 14, and I know that she feels no one loves her enough. But she will not talk to me about...

aprilnouf You absolutely did the right thing. She will now know that should she choose to behave that way again she will be punished. Don't worry about the not eating dinner, no child ever starved from missing a meal. Between my two daughters there have definitely been...

aprilnouf I think this really depends on what happened that caused the disagreement. Sometimes it's best just to let it go. Sometimes if you were really wrong you should apologize. Honestly for me, if it is a really true friend of mine even if I'm right I will just let...

aprilnouf To me a friend is the one who understands when you are too busy to talk and never holds it against you. A friend is someone who regardless of what is going on in their life they come running when you need them. A Friend is the one who knows when it's o.k. to...
