An Australian lottery last night had a first prize of eighty million dollars (Australia US66M). There were two winners. One thought the email received this morning was a scam, and deleted it. How would you react if you hd a...

I'll try to make this short. This afternoon my daughters and my father went to nearby park/playground with one of my neighbor's daughter. She just moved with her family in my townhouse complex. they came back about 1 1/2 hour...

Polly289 Jolly good idea. It irritates me when parents don't know or even try to know where their children are or what they're up to.

It is generally seen, elders take kids for granted. While they expect kids to say sorry for any mistakes they might have committed, the reverse is very rare. It is ego at work. We think, we as elders dont have to seek forgiveness...

Here's the thing. Earlier this year and in the wee smalls of the morning, my 11 yr old daughter took it upon herself to go joyriding in her grandmothers car. Not once but twice. The first time her nan was away in Mexico on holiday...

I prefer to respond to questions on Mylot rather than initiate a discussion. Not sure why this is. Which are you and why?

Polly289 Well, my first language is, obviously, English and, I have to say, you're doing very well indeed. I'd love to be able to parley in another language. It would be so cool. Don't be afraid to ask questions or say anything just because you think noone will...

Polly289 I've a feeling she's got the message but I'm going to give my sister who, I have to say, works with children and is very good at it, the chance to see what she can do. She's no walk in the park and very firm but the love is there. Thanks so much for the...

Polly289 Funny you should say that. I truly didn't give the "has this question been posed before", any thought. Guess it hasn't because here you all are.

Polly289 Agree totally, I've been away for quite some time and I find it interesting that there is still plenty to be talked about. I simply decided today that I was going to start a discussion and see how it went from there.

Polly289 Exactly, that's what I was trying to get my head around. Have to say, she has been trying the old manipulation tactics.

Polly289 Poor you. I have been. The first time she took the car, it was lucky I had woken up. The problem was I had too younger children at home. It was 2oclock in the morning and I had to walk to the Police station in my pjs. I did it though. And, lucky for me, they...

Polly289 Thanks for that. I think the desired outcome was for her to realize she couldn't do the wrong thing and get away with it. At the time she showed absolutely no remorse. I now know she's hurting inside and wants to come home but I had made it clear to her that...

I have this theory I would like your thoughts. What if we paid our mom's to stay at home and take care of the kids and housework and errands? I believe our kids would be growing up a bit more stable and on the right track. Instead...

Polly289 Too true. Children can't get into as much trouble when mums at home. Having said that, I posted a discussion earlier on along the same vein, regarding my daughter. Funny thing was, when I was working, she played the game. The minute I stopped she decided to...

Polly289 Not so strange really. One of my sons worked as a Loans Consultant for one of our largest banks here in NZ so he's pretty up with the play as far as they're concerned. But it does seem a little sad. The people who truly do need the loans are the ones who earn...
