Somethings Make Me A Little Uncomfortable

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 22 Feb 08

I have seen several posts on this site recently that make me uncomfortable. In my limited opinion I don't feel like they are something that should be allowed on a "family site", but I'm not sure what the guidelines are as to what...

kakuemmom For me unless it is blatantly disrespectful I ignore it. The best way for these posts to go away is for no one to answer them. But if it is really bad i would report them. I wouldn't want to say anything right to the person cause that could blow right up in...

recycledgoth @recycledgoth (9894) 3 Dec 07

I know this is probably one of those subjects that has been done over and over again but this morning I heard something that made my blood boil. We have a large pet shop in our local high street and it is always busy. It is a...

kakuemmom Pets as presents can be OK but really it should not be a whim present. We gave my oldest when she was 12 a hamster for her b-day but before she got it she had been asking for so long for one. So we started with a goldfish if she took care of it properly we...

kakuemmom Wow first off the husband for sure is partly responsible. He should have signed the papers for the c-section. But I feel the hospital too, they have a duty to try to save a life if they can. Now they knew that mother and baby were going to die and the only way...

kakuemmom My daughter would starve, I don't think its the schools place to decide what my child should take to school for lunch. That is my role, no nuts that makes sense but beyond that none of their business. I would be in a constant battle with the school for sure.

Do you think peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a healthy lunch for kids?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Aug 07

Growing up, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were a regular staple for lunch. I think most moms during the 1970s and 1980s made those for kids. I hated carrying them to school, cause the jelly always soaked through the bread by...

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 22 Aug 07

Utah Mine collapse, how long should they look for survivors?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 23 Aug 07

It seems the co-owner of the mine where the collapse happened will bore a sixth hole to search for the trapped miners and if that fails to find them then he will stop the search. In my opinion they should search until they find...

kakuemmom The only time the search should be stopped is when they have found them all dead or alive. The family's need the closure I don't think i could go day to day wondering if they were still alive when they gave up and only died because of hunger or thirst. I would...

Should parents go to jail because their kids aren't going to school?

Laurla98 @Laurla98 (786) • United States 23 Aug 07

Do you think its fair to punish the parents of children that aren't going to school? I understand when kids are younger and in elementary school. But if you think you see your kids off to school or drop them off and then they take...

kakuemmom When children reach a certain age they feel that they know everything and nothing a parent says or does makes a difference(not matter how good a parent they are) Punishing parents for children's mistakes is just plain wrong. What does it really teach the...

Do you ever feel like your mother should "butt out" of your business?

mskim2u2004 @mskim2u2004 (355) • United States 12 Aug 07

Sometimes I feel this way. My mother for the longest has her mind made up that she ALWAYS knows whats best for my child. I have had to tell her several times that this is my child, not hers, and I know what is best for him. The...

Are you a snoop?

patgalca @patgalca (18390) • Orangeville, Ontario 9 Aug 07

kakuemmom No I do not snoop it is none of my business what others do. I would hate it if I knew someone was snooping through my things so i would not do it to others. I really think it is quite rude to do this. Even my children's stuff is private the only way i would...
