The one religious truth

Riptide @Riptide (2756) • United States 28 Jan 07

I have looked into different religions and found that, as different as they all are, all of them have a few points in common. Like to love others, keep peace and the believe that everything you do, comes back to you, be it good or...

bellaboodaisy I see where you are going with this, but... The question then would be is which one actually acts in harmony with what they preach? Which one loves others and actually has peace?

I'd like your input on this discussion whether you are an only child or not.

MyLinnsLynn @MyLinnsLynn (292) • United States 28 Jan 07

I have one daughter and she's 9 years old soon to be 10. Well, I've been wondering lately if I have done the right thing by her, since she is an only child. I mean, in your opinion, should my husband and I give her a sibling?...

bellaboodaisy Think of it this way, if you can't afford to have another one, should you anyway? It wouldn't be fair to your daughter or a future child if you can't afford to take care of them. I've often wondered if I'd be able to love another child as much as I love my...

how has being a parent changed your life?

epenner @epenner (162) • United States 28 Jan 07

When you became a parent for the first time how did it make you feel? What kinds of things in your life have you had to give up? Did you have to put your goals in life on hold?

bellaboodaisy The feeling I had when I became a parent is inexplicable. It is the best and most wonderful feeling in the world, and job that cannot be replaced. There are certain things you give up when you become a parent such as staying out late, etc, but it's well worth...

epenner @epenner (162) • United States 28 Jan 07

When you met the man you are with was it love at first site? Did you think he was "the one"? When I first met my man I thought he was an arrogant and conceited a$$hole. After knowing him for a couple months I realized he was...

bellaboodaisy That is such a great take on your relationship. When I first met my husband I thought he was a little strange. It turns out first impressions aren't always the best. We became friends and then we started dating two years later. It wasn't love at first site,...

clarah_cille @clarah_cille (654) • Philippines 28 Jan 07

some says that it is better to get married early so that you can see your child grow up and have its own family. while others wanna enjoy being single first before settling down. how about you, how old are you before you get...

bellaboodaisy I think maturity level has more to do with marriage than an actual number/age. There are plenty of people out there who are middle-aged and still aren't ready for marriage because they are too immature. Then there are young ones, who are more mature than some...

bellaboodaisy I don't think that we can put parents and spouses in the same category. And lover's aren't necessarily 2 or 3 years relationships unless that's what you are looking for. My lover is my husband and we have been together for 9 years total, married for 6. I...

At what age did you/ will you have your first child?

rachelcaron @rachelcaron (1679) • United States 28 Jan 07

At what age did you or will you have your first child? Why did you wait or not wait? I was 27 when I had my baby. I think that was a great age for me. I was old enough to have saved up some money and had some time to myself. I...

bellaboodaisy I was 24 when I had my son. I always wanted to have children in my earlier 20s because I wanted a lot of children. Now that I'm older I realize having a lot of children might not necessarily be very economical. I'm glad I had my son when I did. I got married...

bellaboodaisy When I was sick not long after my son was born, my husband took time away to help me out with him. He did an incredible job keeping up with all the 'chores' around the house and taking care of a new baby. But it was only for a few days. After he went back...

Singing to Children

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 28 Jan 07

I loved to sing to my children. One of my favorite songs that I sang to them often was "You are my Sunshine". Singing or humming to a baby or child has a soothing effect on them. I would sing or hum to them while rocking them...

bellaboodaisy I love singing to my son too. "You are my Sunshine" struck a chord because when I was a child my grandmother used to sing me this song every night before bed. I used to sing that to my son when I was pregnant with him. And I still sing it to him once in a...

Do you think marriage is 50/50?

patgalca @patgalca (18366) • Orangeville, Ontario 27 Jan 07

Dr. Phil says marriage is 100/100. I agree with him. If you say the marriage or partnership is 50/50, then don't you have to draw a line and keep count of who does what, who pays what? Then won't you complain if the other is not...

bellaboodaisy Marriage is all about give and take. And that doesn't mean keeping count. In my opinion being married is about loving each other and doing all that you can for your partner unconditionally. Unconditional love doesn't keep count of the error or the giving...

bellaboodaisy I do feel that it is important to forgive. I believe we are morally obligated to forgive others, but because we are imperfect it does not always mean that we are going to be able to. I also feel that one reason we should forgive others is so that we can...
