Kalikala @Kalikala (433) • United States 8 Apr 07

Should you choose the course that your child will take in college?

bongmix @bongmix (267) • Philippines 2 Apr 07

is it ok to tell the kid what he will be when he grow up?

hope1976 I definitely do NOT think parents should choose their child's courses for college. College is the transition from childhood to adulthood, so the independence is needed. If you force your child to take what YOU want them to in college, they may resent you for...

We wan to take our kids to Disney world, but the cost is just extreme for us. Does anyone know of any place you can find a deal. Is it truly worth the expense anyway.

Do You Stay On Site or Off Site at Disney World?

stinkerbell @stinkerbell (38) • United States 8 Mar 07
