Am I sick? Need your help.

mtoxales @mtoxales (374) • Canada 12 May 07

I have no control over my 5 year old son. He does not listen to me and does the complete opposite of what I ask of him. Sometimes when he wants to follow me, he just says okay but he shouts and adds silly mom or silly girl and it...

Do you take off your shoes before entering a house?

Augustta @Augustta (1850) • Poland 9 May 07

Yes, we do that. To us, the house should be a clean and comfortable place. Wearing your shoes in the house just spreads the dirt all over the place. If we really need to wear something due to the cold weather, we will normally...

harwoodkp Even if it was the best friend in the world. I would still have to turn them in. too many children have been killed this way, and that is why seat belt laws for children are so strong. Yes I would call the police!

Is Bottled Water Better Than Tap Water?

ester_tamisin @ester_tamisin (522) • Philippines 3 May 07

harwoodkp that all depends where the water came from. Some companies use tap water to fill their water bottles. The one reason bottle water is usally safer is the size of water systems in a city. Being so large sometimes allows contaminates to get into the water and...

harwoodkp I would suggest getting a food dehydrator. You can make a lot of stuff from fruit. These are extremely healthy and most kids like them. You can make fruit leather to chips. You can even make vegatable chips.

Kids and Relatives

Calais @Calais (10893) • Australia 20 Apr 07

harwoodkp Most kids will do that if they start it right away. If they dont see relatives a lot then they dont feel as comfortable. If she wants them to call him uncle john, then she needs to take them to see uncle john alot. and not just at family gatherings.
