when you are a teen parent should it be okay for the grandparents help watch your children when you want some free time

3 responses

Nottie I think it's ok as long as you don't have the parents look after the child too often. My children have both a grandmother and a greatgrandmother that happily look after the kids now and then, but usually this only happens a few times a year. As I haven't been...

How many of you practice Reiki?

Always smiling @allknowing (140043) • India 6 Dec 09

Reiki is my constant companion. I have passed 2 stages which are enough to keep oneself composed on a day to day basis. It is interesting to watch how it helps in alleviating day to day problems.

8 responses

Nottie A bit late response, but I wanted to say I practice Reiki too. Since I started many years ago I'm a much calmer, happier and nicer person to be around. Also my life has changed in many ways towards the better.

Nottie If you don't mind a bigger dog then the ones mentioned here already I would go for a Golden Retriver. The ones I have met have all been great with kids and they are friendly to everyone. But do some research before you decide, think if you want a small or...

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 29 Jan 08

Nottie I'm not moody when someone/something wakes me up. But I'm not a morning person at all and I'm just as distant and quiet if I get woken up or wake up on my own.

Nottie To me it wouldn't matter if he was bald or not. It would change the way he looks a bit, but he would still be the same person. I wouldn't marry someone for looks only. We all change with age, some more and some less, but we still do.

Nottie I agree with everyone else here and pick the C. I would be very disappointed in both and couldn't trust in either of them anymore. For me trust is very important and without trust there is nothing. I would also lose respect for both of them.

Nottie My experience is that children want to feel useful. If you let them help in their own way and don't correct them because they don't do it your way then they can become very helpful. My son has been helping me with cooking since he was big enough to sit....

Nottie I think we all have more or less hairs on our legs. Some are just lucky to have light and pretty short hair that can't be seen unless you get really close. I like epillators most, but wax also leaves nice hairless legs a long time without the same kind of...
