Yummy Leftovers

Dr. Ann @drannhh (15219) • United States 11 Jul 10

Do you like to eat all of your restaurant food or take some home to eat later? My favorite way of eating in a restaurant is to share the food. It is fun to split a sandwich, for example. At the moment, though, I am eating some...

How important is it that your child has good grades in school? Why?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 22 Apr 09

I'm just wondering how everyone feels about this subject. It seems like so many parents put a lot of pressure on their children to do well in school. I have done my share of pushing. But, I've reached a point where I've begun to...

girlgonefishing I don't really pay as much attention to the grades as I do the comments beside the grades. If my child made a "D" because he doesn't test well, I don't hound him about it. If he made a "D" and the comment is "doesn't turn in homework" or "doesn't stay in his...

girlgonefishing I personally think there is a thin line with even a small swat on the behind. If you swat them every once in a while, it means something to them. If you swat them all the time, the start to get immune to it and just continue to do what ever. I am not against a...

girlgonefishing I think pretty much all men are babies when they are sick. I spoil my husband rotten when he is sick. He only gets out of bed to go to the bathroom. I do everything else for him. On the other hand, if I am sick, he avoids me like the plague. LOL
