nadams80 I can't imagine anyone not being friends with somebody because they are fat. I have friends of all shapes and sizes and I do not even consider size. Size has nothing to do with whether or not somebody would make a good friend for you or even just being...

nadams80 I'm afraid of birds. They freak me out. Chickens, pidgeons, ducks, all birds. I will not go near them. A bird had made nest under the eaves at our front door when I was still in school. Every entry into the house would be a harrowing experience. Sometimes...

Where did you get your screen name from???

rosedust82 @rosedust82 (2066) • Philippines 16 Jul 08

Just curious. Well, the name "rosedust" came from way way back. My classmate when I was in grade 1 gave me this name. It's the name of some fairy tale character he watched on tv and for some reason, I've stuck...

SusanLee @SusanLee (1920) • United States 16 May 08

nadams80 I don't think the first ase is abuse. The second senario I would say yes, beause it seems the mother was not "controlled" and calling your child vile names I think is emotional abuse. I give my child a shot or two on her butt. I always tell her first what...

If this happens to a wife in the marriage, what should she do?

cream97 @cream97 (29086) • United States 11 Jul 08

My husband got mad at me, once a week ago, and he told me to die like my mother. He got in my face, and he touched my chin, and I remember the smell of his breath.... He told me that I was acting like a B****. He said it very...

nadams80 You should leave your husband. It will definitely not get any better. You need to report the abuse to the cops and leave. Once the abuse is 'on record' it will be very difficult for him to take your kids. I know it's scary. I know someone who was in an...

ellie333 @ellie333 (21016) 11 Jul 08

nadams80 I think I would go to work, although it would probably part time and flexible. When I was on maternity leave for six months I realised that I need work. I was extremely bored. Although having a child is very demanding and keeps you busy, I wasn't mentally...

nadams80 My 2 year old daughter definitely softens me up even when I'm mad with her. Sometimes I just can't help but smile or even laugh. When she knows I'm mad she'll come and say "sorry mummy, I love you". Sometimes she makes me laugh with all her antics, she's...

What Does Life Mean to You?

carolbee @carolbee (16230) • United States 12 Jul 08

Does it mean a family, a career or both? I know many people who have both a lovely family and a good career. It can be done. What's your take on this subject?

nadams80 I have a family and a career and although I would say my family is more important than work, I think having a career is important to me. I think the major thing is having a balance between the two. As a women, creating the balance is even more tricky,...

any tips on moving my son to his own room? He still sleeps in the bed with me and my husband and he is 1 yrs old. I think the hardest part is going to be him getting up frequently, because i have to get up early for work.
