Why don't my kids listen?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 4 Mar 09

I need your ideas! My 5-yr-old daughter don't listen to a word I say. And it's not for lack of trying, and it's NOT because I let her get away with it! My husband and I consistantly give her time-outs when she disobeys. She...

Could you be equals?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 4 Aug 08

I mean with your dog! The maremma is a flock guardian dog bred for independence and quick thinking. They are loyal and brave and are known to kill wolves to protect their home and the livestock on their home. The possible drawback...

OK, this is REALLY dumb, I'm sure, but I just can't figure out how to add a picture to my name instead of the little waving guy. Also I want to add my webpage to my profile page but I can't figure that out either! Someone please...

And does it matter to you? My best friend has a different best friend, but I know that I'm a close second and I know she's there for me. What do you think?

How long did you breastfeed?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 25 Jun 08

I wanna hear from all you moms out there! I've been breastfeeding my daughter for 19 months now. How long did you breastfeed each baby? Why did you stop? Your choice? Baby's? A mutual decision, so to speak? If it was your choice,...

Darn misleading labels!

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 25 Jun 08

So today I was in Safeway with a friend and sorta on impulse pick up a package of Raspberry Fig Newtons for my kids, cause I was out of snacky things at home and didn't think that I would have time to make anything tonight. The...

I must say, I hooked!

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 23 Jun 08

Do you find yourself staying up late at night on Mylot? Are your eyes drooping by the time you turn off the computer? Mine sure are! Or do you pop on and off during the day? Is Mylot an obsession for you, or just a distraction? Or...

Funny undies

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 21 Jun 08

Underwear! I decided recently that Life's Too Short to Wear Ugly Underwear. Do you agree, or does your underwear matter to yo at all? I would LOVE it if all my bras matched all my underwear. To me, that kind of person is the...

Do you like your socks?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 21 Jun 08

I can't stand wearing old socks. I tend to toss them LONG before they develop holes. There's something so wonderful about brand new, soft, cozy socks. And I like my socks to be white all over. Brand new white socks make me...

What do you eat for breakfast?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 19 Jun 08

When I was a kid, my Mom wouldn't let me eat bread with PB for breakfast - it had to be toasted. I couldn't eat a peanut butter and jam sandwitch, but I COULD toast 2 pieces of bread and put PB and jam on the toast. I could even...

Why make money online?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 9 Jun 08

I follow a lot of these online money-making discussions and it seems like some people are busting their butts for not much money. I mean, making $10 here requires a LOT of posting on MyLot and PTC only makes a few cents at a time...

Do you check on your kids before you go to sleep?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 9 Jun 08

I can't even stop myself - I could never sleep without checking on my kids. When my first was little I would totally check to see she was breathing and warm enough/not too hot but now it's more of a calm peek in and watch them and...

What speaks to you

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 1 Jun 08

I haven`t heard all of Avril`s songs by a longshot, but some have things that I definitely want to pass on to my daughters - like being yourself (Complicated) and not judging a book by it`s cover or just to be cool (Sk8ter Boi)....

Narnia 2

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 1 Jun 08

Who saw Prince Caspian? I loved it! It did stray from the book a little, but all in all very true to the book, and definitely to the spirit of the book and series. What did you think?

Do good things get ripped away?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 1 Jun 08

I hate it when on a TV series I'm watching a good character starts to find love/happiness and then it is ripped away. Do you think life is like that, too? Do good things stay or do they just get ripped away?

Can you stand your inlaws?

Buttercup11 @Buttercup11 (274) • Canada 7 May 08

You all might hate me, but I LOVE my in-laws! They are super-nice balanced people who try their best not to meddle. Sure we've had some misunderstandings and don't always see eye to eye but they genuinely care for us. My husband...
