Carolysom I've come to the conclusion that it's the closest that they can easily get to the fetal position. I actually have a picture of me for about the age of 5 sleeping like that too. I think it's just kids being kids. Google it, maybe you'll see that it's normal,...

being a single parent is it ok? or not ok?

scooby29 @scooby29 (239) • Philippines 15 Jul 09

for me a single parent is ok! because that important thing is that you have been responsible of all the time to your son or daughter. I'm just worrying the side of my daughter because she might feel a little empty of...

Carolysom I am not a single parent, but I'm a child of a single parent. I have to say it was SO much better for me, as a child, after my parents split up. I was 13 when they split and my mom moved to the next town over. I lived with my dad until I went away to...

Carolysom You are right. You should not lie, but is it not also a sin, to dishonour your husband as you are doing? If he does not want you to discuss his business matters, you should not. There would have been many ways in which you could have told your neighbor it was...
