Is this child abuse?

MysticTomatoes @MysticTomatoes (1053) • United States 23 Jun 09

My husband loves the website failblog.org. He found this video on Fail blog's YouTube channel. I watched it and thought it was funny. But some of the comments left under the video are berating the parents for filming their child...

luv2cook4u I do not consider this abuse, it is actually great parenting. The child is learning how to dress himself and that is something that happens sometimes. If he had asked for help, I assume the parents would have given it. There are too many people out there who...

luv2cook4u I agree with the other person, it is best to discuss things with her and explain your concerns. Ensure her that you want her to be a part of the baby's life, but that you are not comfortable being legally obligated to a set amount of visitation. Honestly, in...

Do you put salt in your food when cooking?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 May 09

For years, I didn't add salt to my cooking, mostly for health reasons. Just recently, I bought some salt to use when making mashed potatoes and it's really made a difference in how things taste. Salt is unhealthy, that's...

luv2cook4u It depends on the what I am making. For veggies and "simple" dishes, I let people add salt as they wish, but they have to get the shaker and use it in the kitchen, not at the table. We also have a family "rule" that they taste it without adding salt first....

luv2cook4u Not that this makes it any better, but she actually met him when he was in the 2nd grade, but the relationship turned, ahem, "adult" in 6th grade, when he was 12. I think it is is absolutely disgusting and cannot believe how she is glorifying her behavior. I...

luv2cook4u With the economy the way it is lately, I think there has become a new "breed" of robbers. These are people who feel they have no other way to provide for their needs and so they resort to robbing. They hate doing it and feel guilty, but are too prideful or...
