Is it a good thing or a bad thing. I try to read about 5 times a day to my daughter. Anytime she brings me a book I will read it but sometimes if it is just too many or perhaps I feel she should just read it herself, she gets...

littletoad Why not set aside certain times through the day that you can read together? How old is she? You can even use reading together as a reward for her helping you do chores, like if she helps you clean up after breakfast, you will read one book or if she's good to...

Recently I was watching The View, the discussion they were having was about whether or not stay at home mothers should get paid by the state they live in. Im a stay at home mother and it is literally the hardest job ever. Our job...

littletoad You already are paying for mothers to stay at home. It's called welfare and unemployment. For many, it's not worth their while to work by the time they pay for daycare, transportation, etc. and it's why they are on the system to begin with. I understand what...

littletoad It's always been my belief that one parent should be paid to stay home and take care of the children. Too many children are being left to raise themselves or be raised by strangers, and it's not right. I realize many people HAVE to work, and believe me, I'm...

As a student my route to university was always plagued with obstacles, mainly in the form of charity people wanting my money. I would usually have to pass 4 or 5 each time i wlaked to or from uni. I had by the end of term devised...

littletoad I agree that it's the wrong place to be doing this. Perhaps you should complain to the university, and ask that these people do their fundraising off school property. Meanwhile, regardless of their tactic, a smile and a simple "no, thank you" should be...

littletoad I have found using Nizoral shampoo on the affected areas helps a lot. My friend tried it on her daughter who's legs would break out in scabs and it helped her a lot too.

Does anyone else think she would be much better suited to try out for Sandy on Grease, You're the One I Want? She just is trying so hard to look and act sweet. Seems to dramatic for American Idol.

littletoad It's really not as bad as you think it will be. I'm not going to say how it will be for you, as each person is different. For me, I had the morning sickness during the whole 9 months. I never mentioned it to my doctor, and should have, because he might have...

My child is now being bullied at school and the school said there isn’t anything they can do about it! She is a 4th grader and a very shy, soft-spoken little girl. But these two 5th grade girls are cussing her everyday and...

littletoad I find it hard to believe that there are still schools without the "zero tolerance" for bullying. I'd take this to the principal. If that doesn't get you anywhere, go to the school board. Insist they do something. Your daughter goes to school to learn, not...

littletoad I'm 31 years old and have never seen either of my parents drunk. I've seen them drink plenty of times, but never saw them drunk. One of the most valuable lessons they have taught me is how to drink responsibility. They say children learn from what they see,...

Why is it that people still find the need to stigmatize welfare recipients? People still seem to have the image of a "welfare queen" that they apply to those in need. Most often than not, people are on welfare because THEY NEED...

littletoad Unfortunately, it's like anything else, and a few bad apples have to ruin it for the bunch. I know many people who do abuse the system, and I see the system allowing it to happen all the time. For example, I helped a woman and her 2 children move away from...

littletoad I wouldn't want to be either, and any man who would be so disrespectful doesn't deserve either. I don't expect it would be easy for the girl or the woman in such a scenario. The girl is passing up a chance for true love, and I think most of the time, the...

littletoad As a smoker, I can tell you I absolutely HATE the way I feel due to the smoking. Why do I do it? Because I started when I was 12, and that's nearly 20 years. I'm addicted, and it's become a way of life for me. For example, my breaks at work consist of...

littletoad I'm very sorry to hear about your mother in law. I know how you feel with being lonely, as my husband is away for work 3 weeks out of every month. He had come home for Christmas and left to go back January 2. I cried so hard and just didn't know what to do...
