Would you tell.. I love you..?

freeflow @freeflow (8) • Philippines 5 Feb 09

if you fell in love with someone who's already committed, already have kids but not married yet, would you tell that person that you love him/her? if you did and then ask him/her if he/she can love you back and that person...

crystal8577 This can be a catch 22. I guess you have to look inside yourself & see what you think is best. They are not married so that means there is a chance for you to be together. Telling someone you love them is professing your feelings. That does not mean you have...

Easter Eggs?

AbbeyB @AbbeyB (670) • Spain 3 Feb 09

Do you give easter eggs? Is it a big thing where you live? Do you think it is all a way to get more money out of us and do you think the true meaning of easter has gone? If you ask any kids these days what Easter is about most...

Television viewing

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 5 Feb 09

Would you consider cutting of television viewing for just one day where your toddlers or small children are concerned? I do believe that some of those shows can be educational however some things the children...

crystal8577 Just because something is on does not mean she is in front of it. If something catches her interest then she will stop & watch for a bit. She just got done "writing" (she just turned 2) a letter to me. She has two older sisters who are 10 & 8 so she learns a...

Are you a proponent of "date nights"?

aprilj1231 @aprilj1231 (288) • United States 4 Feb 09

I try to make arrangements once every two or three months for a childless date night. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids....but well trying to have a romantic dinner out or at home is well impossible when you have three kids. Our...

crystal8577 I am neither for or against them. I have 3 kids also so it is hard to find someone who will take them all. I don't allow anyone but fmaily to watch them. When we do go out to eat together if we talk it seems to be about the girls, or his job. He is also a type...

crystal8577 I think people hide behind the 1st amendment to much & also freedom of the press. How many times have we seen something reported that turned out to be false? I have seen people make up stories just to have a story. Or them take a detail & run with it. I am...

do you multitask??

bookreadermom08 @bookreadermom08 (5614) • United States 5 Feb 09

crystal8577 I am a mom of 3, I could not survive without multitasking. I will play on the computer & write a letter or watch tv. I also do dishes in between that or laundry or whatever else needs to be done. My husband is also amazed that i can just tune the kids out.

do you have to enroll your child to a workshop during summer?

additionalincome @additionalincome (91) • Philippines 5 Feb 09

workshop is a tremendous help for our kids, but if we don't have spare money to enroll them during summer, I think , we should come up with alternative home summer activity that would enhance their skills, even at home , like...

crystal8577 I think the gift of time & love can go a lot further than material things. You can get together with them & have a picnic in the park, bake cookies, have a movie night. I know my girls would rather do something with me than have me buy them something. Toys &...

crystal8577 It depends. I host a lot of different occassions at my house. That means there are 14 people here. I can get stressed out & overwhelmed trying to do all of the cooking, cleaning & entertaining. I run myself down & am ready for everyone to go home early. I...

You don't lend money to your sister, does that make you bad?

icecroft @icecroft (449) • Philippines 5 Feb 09

Here's the thing.. I have a friend who's got a sister who has a very big credit card debt (due to too much spending). He's given her money in the past already when she borrowed, in fact not more than once or twice. This time...

crystal8577 No it does not make him a bad brother. It makes him someone who refuses to enable someone's bad habits. I would tell him to not lose sleep over it. I am sure he loves his sister none the less.

Are parents the best teachers ?

tudors @tudors (1556) • China 5 Feb 09

Do you agree or disagree that parents are the best teachers ? I personally think that parents are not the best teachers one can have. I would say, ego first, parents second and school teachers the last.

best teacher

crystal8577 I am a bit confused by the ego comment. I do think that parents can be the best teachers. In most cases we are the ones who spend the most time with our children especially before they start school. A good parent will be very in tune with their children & know...
