newmama412 i would never want a child at that age. when these children turn 10, she's going to be 77. when they turn 20, she would be 87. how many people live much longer from there. and even when they do, they cant be the type of parent a child needs. even if the...

newmama412 at first, i thought you were going to say she did so as some form of punishment. reading further though, it doesnt sound like there was any maltreatment intended towards the child. i think the teacher should not have used something like this as a teaching...

Trimming baby's nails

jessmtiu @jessmtiu (251) • Philippines 23 Jan 07

How often do you trim your baby's fingernails? I find this especially difficult to do with my 10 month old baby boy because he's very fidgety and would not keep still for me to trim his fingernails properly. I often trim his nails...

newmama412 i think it depends on what type of relationship they have. for those people who have been on the receiving end of a cheater, its harder to be trusting toward their spouse. i think the wife should have made an effort to get to know the woman better, but at the...
