MysticTomatoes The child should be at home or in a controlled environment, especially since she's what? 6? A six year old doesn't understand that because Jimmy is eating a cookie with peanuts in it that she can't. My sister's child is allergic to eggs and they have to be...

Why is abortion immoral? Is it?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 11 Mar 11

1. Is it ethical to YOU? Why or why not? 2. Do fetuses have the right to live? 3. If you are a female and you were raped and became pregnant, would you abort the fetus? why or why not? Does the fetus/fertilized egg have the...

MysticTomatoes 1. Yes, it's ethical. It needs to remain a safe and legal right for any and all women who want one. If you don't like aboriton, then don't have one. Plain and simple. 2. The mother in me says yes. The woman in me says no. I know what I went through with my...

He can't sleep without me~

Toni @toniganzon (72285) • Philippines 22 Mar 11

My son sleeps with me and my husband. We all share the same bed every night. My mother-in-law told us that we should let him sleep in his own room since he's already 7 years old. He's got his own room and yet he never used it,...

MysticTomatoes He can't sleep in his own room because you've never made him. My DH and I have NEVER let our DD sleep with us in our bed. She has her own room with her own bed. When she was an infant and we first brought her home from the hospital, she slept in a cradle next...

MysticTomatoes There is a huge difference between beating and spanking. I spank my DD. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Trying to reason with a small child to make them understand what they did wrong and why IMO won't work. They don't have the mental ability to be able to reason...

$30,000 For Your Kid's Birthday...Woud You Do It?

jameygc @jameygc (452) • United States 15 Mar 11

Last night I was watching tv, and I saw this show about parents spending $30,000 or more in a birthday party for a 6 years old kid! It was incredible to me! The mother actually let her little daughter make all decisions for the...

MysticTomatoes Sorry, but no. My kid is just that - she's my child. She's not my equal or she's not my guardian or my mother. She's my child. She gets what my DH and I are willing to pay for. I'm not raising one of the little brats that we see on TV that dictate when and...

MysticTomatoes That's actually not a bad idea. I've seen the socks people can put on and they dust the floors as you walked. I've also seen outfits for dogs that do the same thing. Makes sense. The kid's on the floor anyway. Might as well make him earn his keep. We...

jugsjugs @jugsjugs (12967) 9 Jun 10

aswell as alot of them take after their parents.For example if a parent smokes then there maybe a higher chance of a child ending up smoking.My daughters do not smoke, but i do.I know alot of people that do drugs, but do you think...

MysticTomatoes I don't think that you can say just because a parent does X that a child will do X also. I grew up around smokers and drinkers. I don't touch either. I'm a vegan actually and I don't think most of my family knows what a vegetable is. My husband is also a...

MysticTomatoes Personally I don't like Nokia phones. They're cheap and poorly made. I'm a BlackBerry user myself. I don't like the iPhones either. For something so technologically advanced, it can't do half of what my Berry can do. You can't leave programs up and running....

MysticTomatoes When I was pregnant with my DD, I kept having the strangest craving for instant mashed potatoes. I sent my husband to the store more than once at midnight to pick up a box of instant potatoes. I didn't want anything else - just the mashed potatoes.

Do you think some reality shows are somehow scripted?

brylle454 @brylle454 (606) • Philippines 9 Jun 10

Anyway, i love reality shows, like American Idol or America's Best Dance Crew, but do you somehow or sometimes think that some reality shows are scripted? Like Big Brother or shows like that.

9 responses

MysticTomatoes Yes. All these shows - American Idol especially - have only one type of winner. It's the mass produced bubble gum pop generic sounds the same as 30 other singers style that is selling right now. I can't stand that type of music. Carrie Underwood sounds the...

It is the connection not the license.

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 9 Jun 10

MysticTomatoes It's is the CONNECTION, not an 8x11 piece of paper that makes someone happy or guarantees a relationship will work. My husband and I have been together for over 15 years. We've been married about 7. We lived together for a long while before we got married....

Why do people need to get married?

arreolabryan @arreolabryan (856) • Philippines 4 Jun 10

I think I don't need to get married. I can be with someone even when I am not married to her. I think marriage is just waste of money. :D We need to be practical now. getting married is not practical.

MysticTomatoes I happen to agree with you. People will say it's for financial security and in the vent your partner dies, it's to make sure you get what's yours. I'm sorry, but LIVING WILLS are the documents needed to satisfy that requirement. I lived with my DH for a...

MysticTomatoes I didn't breastfeed my DD. Didn't want to. I had the docs at the hospital wrap me up so my milk didn't come in on top of me taking medicines to dry me out. Not something I wanted to do. My DD was on formula until she started eating baby food. Then it was a...

MysticTomatoes The best age? When they can pay for it themselves. I deal with kids on a daily basis and I see kids as young as FIVE on their own cell phone. Why oh why does a pre-school age child need a cell phone? My DD is only 2 but if she wants a cell phone when...

MysticTomatoes Working with kids on a day to day basis, there's not that much that surprises me. I've seen kids lock themselves in dryers and turn it on. I've seen kids attaching skateboards to the back of Jeeps and then dying because skateboards don't have brakes like a car...
