Potty Training...

mpvanwagner @mpvanwagner (165) • United States 12 Jan 07

My son is 20 months old and he is a great kid. He goes to bed on time, puts himself to sleep most of the time, gets his own drinks out of the fridge, and plays great by himself. He is, what I call, the perfect child. Well, my...

happyfeet First of all - does he stay dry when sleeping? If he has not developed bladder control, then I wouldn't push him. If he is able to stay dry all night, and during naps, then you can try potty training him. I use the timer technique with my daughter - I set...

Acting classes for kids: What do you think about this? Esp. with the Jon Benet

mytwo_daughters @mytwo_daughters (2663) • United States 4 Jan 07

murder. I am open to opinions, as I will tell you my story, all I ask is you not be rude. I can deal with direct responses. Here it is, my daughter, who is 8, has stated on occasion she wants to be an actress. Now this may...

happyfeet Well, your daughter is 8, so she kind of knows what she wants. I would let her experiment and take some classes - it's not going to hurt! Yes, children should be children, but we also have to support them in what they want to do -unless it's illegal and/or...

Kindergarten requirements tougher now? When is it too much?

KrabbyPatty @KrabbyPatty (64) • United States 4 Jan 07

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the requirements for kindergarten have gotten much tougher over the years? My oldest son, now 13, had a "normal" kindergarten year.. You know, the year where you spend days on end cutting...

happyfeet No, because the best you can give your kids is free - your love, attention and time. They only care about toys for a few minutes, but the memories you make with them when you are together, are forever!

happyfeet No. He should respect you space, but also trust you, and I guess it's a trust issue here - he wants to find out if you will give him the password, if you do, that means you have nothing to hide. Tell him he will have to trust you, but your emails are between...

Pressure to produce

nandans @nandans (1160) • India 4 Jan 07

In traditional households, it is customary to expect couples to start a family after a few years of marriage. So much so that it becomes a social pressure for many couples to bear. And an inability to have a child is frowned upon...

An Interesting Observation - Responding Without Reading

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 3 Jan 07

Lady, it's just a darn mouse for crying out loud.....I'm outraged.

mari61960 @mari61960 (4893) • United States 3 Jan 07

I was at a local pet store today and a woman and her daughter were looking at gerbils. The little girl about 7 or 8 yrs old, noticed a baby mouse that was missing it's foot. The mother got a staff person and told them. The guy...

happyfeet That guy should beee fired! The people working at a pet store should show some respect to the animals/pets/reptiles, etc. After all, it's partly because of the sales of the animals, that he has a job!

Do you go to Church?

sunshinecup @sunshinecup (7871) 3 Jan 07

Myself, no. I stopped years ago after several attempts at various ones. I find a church adds politics to religion and further distracts from one’s own relationship with God. I have found my connection with God as strengthen...

happyfeet Same here. I stopped going to church, because I really don't like organized "religion", and I think that it causes too much bad in this world. I think that we can be close to God wherever we are, no need to go to religious places of worship. Besides, some of...

Religion Phobia

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 3 Jan 07

I have always been a believer that God does exist. I pray. I live a life that is morally strong. The one thing I do not do is go to church or belong to any specific religion. My mother was once a Jehovah's Witness. We had to...

happyfeet I totally agree with you! I was raised catholic, had to go to church, confession, etc. When I became older, I realized that I don't have to go to church, to be closer to God. Right now, I do not belong to any church, or do not practise any specific...

Who is God? Why is it that people do not believe in God?

cloudwatcher @cloudwatcher (6861) • Australia 1 Jan 07

happyfeet God is a force, a power. We are accountable to ourselves. If we give out bad energy, then bad energy will come back to us. Like karma. God is bigger than some man creating us, and sitting on a cloud in heaven, looking down. God is not a human, it's some...

Hitman2007 @Hitman2007 (4) • United States 1 Jan 07
