maleenmoctar Oh.. my sympathy to you.. But you know, if only being a mother is just like any other ordinary jobs, where we can take a leave of absence in times when we get tired and we get pissed off, we would like to do so. Or if only we could retire when we get older we...

Do you really respect promptness?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Oct 09

People say that they respect promptness. They get irritated when people are late for appointments, work or school. However, most of these people don't seem to care if the appointment runs a little long. They say they respect...

maleenmoctar Just like the old adage, " the slaves of today are the tyrants of tomorrow". Although not all poor people who become wealthy are like them. But there are really persons who become rich and they seem to forget where they come from. they were eaten up with greed...

Would you let your child watch a scary movie?

Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 17 Oct 09

I would not let my child watch a scary movie until they are old enough. A child could end having some bad dreams over some scary movies they watched. I would hate for my child not be able to sleep because of some scary movies that...

maleenmoctar I absolutely agree with you! To me letting children watch scary movies is a big no no. When my 2 children were growing up, I never allowed them to watch horror movies. Of course I wouldn't want them to tremble in fear and scream at the top of their voice...

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 17 Oct 09

maleenmoctar At home, most of the time my husband does the budgeting. We are into a small furniture business, and it takes a lot of effort to make it grow. One of the biggest effort we had is to be stingy at times. My husband is very good at that. He sets up priorities to...

maleenmoctar I've heard some saying, they won't give 100% of their love so they would not get hurt if the relationship won't work. I find it absurd to hear these things. If you love someone, it would be hard to hold back your feelings. If you fall in love, go! follow your...

maleenmoctar Giving up on dreams could be devastating on one's feelings. But try to take a second look on things. Maybe, it's not giving up at all. Maybe it's just redirecting your plans. Remember that " To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose". If you...
