deedles88 Well its good that you are bringing lunch to work, but you are a big girl - maybe you should start making your own? And not wanting to waste food isnt a very good excuse for eating 2 full containers. You will need to sit down and explain to her what you are...

deedles88 I dont think there is a problem with it, both parents are equal so it doesnt matter which parent goes.

Are Kids Born Good or Bad?

thayes1106 @thayes1106 (156) • United States 12 Jul 08

In my years of parenting, it seems that if you are prone to have a child who is "bad" that there is nothing you can do. I have a son who has been in and out of one correctional facility or another since he was seven. My husband...

deedles88 I guess this is apart of the age old discussion, nature vs nuture. I dont think there is an answer to this sort of thing, some children will be more 'difficult' then others, some children like to sit quietly and read others like to run around and yell, it is...

I became a mom at the age of 17. For some reason I thought it would be cool and fun to have a baby. Although I didn't get pregnant on purpose, when I found out I was pregnant, I was thrilled. The fear didn't hit until labor did....

deedles88 I think that is very hypocritical. I dont see how you can be judging the girls, who did the same thing as you did. Its like the pot calling the kettle black. You think they are irresponsible and immature, but like you said, you were a young mum too! I...

Would you share a spoon or fork with your boyfriend? Or, use your own?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 3 Jun 08

Does your spouse or boyfriend lick off his spoon before sharing food with you? Or, offer to let you use his spoon? Isn't that kind of gross or distasteful? I'd rather use my own spoon, thanks! What do you think? Share a spoon or...

deedles88 I dont mind sharing a spoon with my partner. I figure that I get his germs by kissing him anyway. Same as with my daughter, I dont mind sharing a spoon with her :) I guess its too gross for some people.

deedles88 I just wrote a discussion about a child at my daughters Kindy who bites, and has biten her. I think that if he isnt responding to your time outs and lectures, its time to tell him in a way he will understand. Bite him back. My daughter bit me once, and I bit...

deedles88 Obviously we dont know why the Toddler bit his dad, but when my daughter bit me, I bit her back. Not hard, but a little pressure on her hand, just like she did to me, and I said to her "see, that is not nice, is it?" and she got upset and said no! and she has...

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 28 May 08

Baby Names...

kassdaw @kassdaw (591) • United States 28 May 08
