Do men change after marriage?

vijayanths @vijayanths (7877) • India 13 Aug 10

I think men and women change a lot after marriage. I used to spend more time with friends before marriage. I used to come home late night before marriage. I became more responsible after marriage. Similarly women also change a lot...

paula27661 I hate it when my husband shushes us when he’s watching TV! My daughter and I will start a conversation and he will raise his hand and abruptly says, “Shush!!” It is so hurtful to be on the receiving end of a big ‘shush’ but guess what I do the same thing when...

Best books for a new reader?

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 30 Jul 10

My 4 year old has just started to read and he's really ready to move on from his work book, but all the books I have are too advanced. What's a good book (or books) for a very new reader to try?

OrigamiMe In my opinion you can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss They are great ways to practice reading and reading out loud.

allyoftherain Does your local library have a section for picture books? I'd recommend going through that section and finding whatever you think your son will enjoy. I haven't read any picture books in awhile so I'm not sure I can recommend any good ones. (And I'm the kind...

shiquitatw I would have to say Dr. Seuss books are always a great place to start. I read all of the Dr. Seuss books to my children. I have also learned that it is better when you keep reading the same book over and over again because it helps them to retain the words...

lacieice I think it's only reasonable to tell someone when you leave or enter a house. What if something happened and you needed to talk to him? And, since he is supposed to be taking care of the children, he should definitely tell you when he is going out. Is where...

sneezeklenex KICK HIM TO THE CURB! Sorry but I feel that if they do it once they'll do it again. Also, who knows how long this has been going on. I know you have records and things, but do you really know when it all started? Plus you don't deserve to be disrespected like...

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 16 Apr 08

I started looking for a virtual assistant last night and settled on one in India. But I´m new to this and am wondering how other people use their virtual assistant? Do you have any tips or advice for me?

sherrylwatts Okay - that didn't work (can't cut and paste yet). Do a search for discussions on the most effective means of advertising.
