mykidsmom I am not a fan of gossip. My mom always said if you do not have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. I am sure we have all gossiped ourselves but there is a line. I think as long as you do not show an intrest in your friends gossiping then it...

Does advertising make you buy the product/service?

BubblyIan @BubblyIan (750) 14 Oct 08

Advertisiers spend millions of pounds/dollars trying to persuade you that their product is better/cheaper etc than someone else's identical product. Does this affect your buying decisions? Are they wasting their money? Do you turn...

mykidsmom I am a huge sucker for marketing. Not so much online but if I see like a Wendy's comercial or something like that then I want it. Or those stupid infomercials....I want to try whatever product they are selling. Like I said I "WANT" to but next to never go...

mykidsmom used to keep a stain stick (spray and wash) in my room to treat stains before they went into the hamper. I am not as good about doing it now. I also used the powdered oxy clean that worked great with the spray and wash already on the stain. I have started...

Is it okay for pregnant woment to drink beverages with caffeine?

mermaid911 @mermaid911 (798) • Philippines 12 Oct 08

I've heard this information before that pregnant women aren't supposed to drink sodas high in caffeine. I'm working on having a baby and I don't know whether I'm pregnant or not but I just can't keep myself from coke or coffee....

mykidsmom YOu should limit it. One coke a day is not going to hurt anything. I have read that it is VERY important to be careful in your first trimester. Too much caffiene can cause a miscarriage. If you can stay away then I would.

mykidsmom I think I would respond with something like,"whatever helps you sleep at night, I sleep just fine" Or a simple "thank you" there is no reason for anyone to force their beliefs on you or vice versa. If they feel like they want to pray for you then let them. It...

Do you shower before your husband gets home?

2minicoopers @2minicoopers (239) • United States 3 Sep 08

When I first became a Stay at home mom, my husband would always tell me the reason men loose interest in their wives when they stay at home is because when they come home they are still in pj's or sweats and no make-up and...

mykidsmom I think it is soooo important to try to impress your husband a little. I shower every day and get dressed. I do not always put on makeup but I am only a liner and lip gloss kind of girl anyway. I think if you make an effort so will your husband. I feel bad for...

mykidsmom My problem is I can't part with anything LOL. I just try to organize the clutter I have. I have started one room at a time. I will only do one room a day. Otherwise I would pull my hair out and it would NEVER get done. Good Luck!!!!

Has a cell phone replaced your wrist watch?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 13 Oct 08

I have just read something recently that stated that the sale of wrist watches has gone down drastically. They are accrediting this phenomenon on the usage of cell phones. They claim that most ppl no longer have the need for a...

mykidsmom So funny you should mention this. My husband and I were discussing how I have been running late for everything the past few weeks. I told him I am so thrown off because my watch died. His response was....you still have your cell phone. It is just not the same....

Would you take your baby to a haunted house?

Reesers @Reesers (1387) • United States 12 Oct 08

Last night I went out with some friends to a local haunted theme park. As we got in line for the haunted maze, we noticed the guy in front of us was pushing a stroller. We all looked at each other and whispered, "Who brings a baby...

mykidsmom Grow up! You have no right to judge any one else. You have no idea what that childs temprament is like. I know my 2 1/2 year old LOVED the haunted house she went through. She thought it was funny. Children have no idea what is "suppose" to be scary. One child...

mykidsmom I agree it is very important to put your relationship with your husband first. I would not say I "value" one more than the other. But without a strong relationship with your husband you family has no foundation. Every thing that is to stand strong needs a...
