KissThis @KissThis (3003) • United States 6 May 07

hsmom2boys I think it's almost to the point where it's not funny anymore. The last few episodes have been more depressing than funny. I want the old scrubs back.

hsmom2boys Historically, women got pregnant (and married) as soon as they were of childbearing age. It's only society that has to label things as moral or immoral. I comment you for being able to 1. open yourself up to people "yelling" at you and 2. being able to provide...

hsmom2boys I think the advantages of homeschooling far outweigh the disadvnatages. As long as the parents are active with the homeschooling, you will be able to find proggrams and groups to join that will provide the social aspects for the chilren. Homeschooled kids tend...
