Do you still switch on the car signals for changing lanes or turning left/right?

1qazxsw2 @1qazxsw2 (512) • Singapore 5 Jun 07

I used to be very diligent on this when I first started driving. I would get terribly annoyed when other drivers didn't signal at all..but now I am just like them...

momof3inTN Always. I always use my turn signals for changing lanes and when I am turning. Especially in front of my house. There have been many times when my signal has been ignored (because I live on the left) and I've almost been hit because I also live right in front...

momof3inTN I, too, am a frugal married to a spender. I hate it because he will just go out an buy, buy, buy and not consult with me on how much the bills are. So far, I have kept us from bouncing a check or getting overdrawn or having utilities cut off but it's been...

momof3inTN A little hyper? How about you babysit my oldest for a day and then tell me he is "a little hyper" and doesn't have adhd. There is a lot more to adhd than just being a little adhd. You know, my mother-in-law (MIL) refused to believe that her favorite grandson...

momof3inTN I do the cleaning in my house, with, sometimes, the help of my children. I do make my boys do their bedroom themselves (right down to the vacuuming) but as for the rest of the house, it is pretty much all mine. I don't work outside the home but I do wish that...

momof3inTN Settle down? That's up to the couple involved. When it's time to settle down, you'll know. I don't think that going together for a long period makes you grow tired with each other. As a matter of fact, I think it's the opposite. The longer you are together,...

momof3inTN Stickers. 3 year olds love stickers (at least every 3 year old I know) and they love to earn stickers. First, we started with a sticker chart at home and they would get stickers for doing good stuff and have them taken away when they were bad. We decided that...

Is this so wrong?

BellasmamaTiff @BellasmamaTiff (2544) • United States 26 May 07

momof3inTN Welcome to the endless debate in parenthood. No matter how much time you spend with your daughter there will always be people who think you should spend more with her. You could be a stay-at-home mom and STILL some people would think that you should devote...

momof3inTN We don't change our routine at all. We do year-round school. Math, reading, science, social studies, sign language. We continue to do everything as we do between August and May. That's probably why my 7 year old is working on 3rd grade math and my 5 year old...
