My daughter will be 4 in a month. We are considering adopting another girl for our family. The age would probably be between 1 and 3. They would share a room. At first we thought that she'd love it as she talks about wanting a...

lonarari I think you are right 9 months to prepare would be excellent. It's almost making me want to adopt an infant so that I can prepare her slowly for what is coming. I think if we just up and added a 10 year old to the family with her being 4 there would be a lot...

So what do you do when your ink is empty? Do you chuck them and go buy new ones? Do you recycle or donate them to a cause? Do you trade them in to a store for some money off new ones? Or do you refill them? I personally refill...

lonarari I recycle mine as a fundraiser for my adoption. I also take everyone else's who do not refill them or anything. You'd be surprised how many people just toss them to me and then go get new ones:)

My child will be 4 in one month. Everyone told me, oh 3 is worse than 2 so just deal with it and when she turns 4 she will be out of the terror stage. I do understand that 3 is when they realize they have options and question you...

lonarari I think I'm going to try to put her to bed at 10:00 on the next non school night. She has school bright and early at 7:30 in the morning so really her wanting to get up isn't hurting anything. I think I'll try out 10:00 on Friday night and see how she works...

lonarari The older sibling thing really makes me wonder. When she is around her cousins that are older she models them. However, when she is around the young ones she is all up in their face saying you listen to me because I'm older and I am the boss. Of course we tell...

lonarari I put my daughter in preschool at 3 (last summer) so that she could interact with other kids. We felt like since she came from a foster home and was surrounded by kids that she was acting out because she was bored to death not being around any. It helped...

lonarari I have about 3-4 episodes of SuperNanny taped! I was sure to tape the one that was about children with ADHD because I wondered if she was like this. Some people tell me she must be, but I don't see this behavior consistent enough to think she is myself. Of...

lonarari I do payperpost and I make about $300 to $400 a month doing it. I've slacked off a ton so I could be making more. I'm looking into doing all the other paid things as well, but I just don't have time.

A couple of years ago, I thought only adults should have mobile phones. When my niece got one from her mum at 12 years old, I also thought that was very early. But when her brother got one before he was 5 then it just did not make...

lonarari I think a child should not be allowed to have a cell phone until they are old enough to earn the money to pay for it. Now, does that mean they have to be 16? No. If a younger child can show the responsibility of earning money or saving money through allowance...

lonarari ditto on the diabetic thing. I was like this as a kid. I heard that if you have teachers who refuse you to go to the bathroom that it can cause this type of thing and mess with the proper growth of your bladder. A teacher should never tell a child "no" when it...

It seems like the government hype and tobacco industry exposures and the resulting media floods have put "smokers" into a class all by themselves; and it doesn't look like a very pretty place to be. Seems like smokers are being...

lonarari I don't know if smokers should have any recourse from the industry at this point. You know that it is bad for you, so quit. I think the reason it's getting such a bad rap is because it is one of the few life choices that effects others besides you. If you...

lonarari the really really bad part is that they had to get rid of her because they had a baby. nobody wanted her, and I just couldn't watch her be neglected or ignored.

lonarari The food I don't care so much, the water is the issue that bugs us all. The bedding is wet, etc. She's thirsty, I get it. Ok first of all my cage is pretty large. Now, bare with me I had a guinea when I was 14 so that was some time ago. As I remembered that...

lonarari I sometimes play when it's really high. This time I did not. I heard this morning on the radio that someone won and the jackpot is now only a pathetic 12 million again. I guess I'll have to settle for that.
