kristineclaireiida Yes, i do eat my child's leftover although its not very often that he have leftovers. I think, it's just being practical. Also, I don't give my child too much food to avoid having leftover.

When walking with your child down the road

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 26 Jun 08

kristineclaireiida Me and my son walks around the village and there are very few cars there. When we walk beside the road, I usually carry him or he's beside me, AWAY from the road. Why would I walk with child just beside the road? I don't think I would do that. It's very...

kristineclaireiida Yes. After my shower, I usually dress up at our room and my 22 month old son is often there. He sees me naked while dressing up and I guess there's no big deal because he's only 22 month old. But I think if he gets a little older,maybe 5 or 6, i won't be...

kristineclaireiida That's very very wrong. My husband loves it when our 22 month old son hugs and kisses him. He enjoys it because he feels being loved. What kind of father would say those words? He don't let his kids hug and kiss him in public? What's the big deal? They're his...
