Whatever happened to childhood?

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 14 May 07

They had a bit on the news about how early children are being groomed for "success." Three and four-year-olds taking music lessons, dance lessons, teamwork training, you name it. Whatever happened to just being a kid? I think...

ryleesmama Many parents seem like they are living through the lives of their children. It is sad to see them pushed so hard. I am going to let my child play like a kid. She can take lessons and play sports only if she wants to but she can also use her imagination to make...

Which fast food resturant has the best fries?

bugbaby @bugbaby (1787) • Indonesia 14 May 07

I used to think, Micky D's but, lately, I would tend to believe that IN & OUT is running a close second if they haven't passed them up.

ryleesmama I would have to say I agree with you. In & Out has pretty good fries but there are none where I live. We moved form California to Georgia and we miss In & Out so much. Out here I would have to say that McDOnalds fries are the best.

ryleesmama I have heard of this before. I would let your doctor know because sometimes when you crave things like that and eat that much of it, your body is telling you that you are lacking a certain vitamin or mineral.

car seat laws

ravinskye @ravinskye (8237) • United States 4 May 07

have you ever called the police on someone breaking the car seat laws for kids? I passed a vehicle today that had a small child around 2 years old in their car seat in the front seat of their vehicle! Would you call the police?...

5 responses

ryleesmama I don't think that I would call the police but I wish that people would learn what is safe for their children, I hate it when I see kids not buckled in but I live in the country and alot of people do things like that around here unfortunatly.

Do you go to a tanning bed?

babygurl850406 @babygurl850406 (1322) • United States 4 May 07

Do you like to tan in a tanning salon? How often do you go? Why do you like going to a tanning bed as opposed to laying out in the sun? Haveyou gotten a nice tan from this?

3 responses

ryleesmama I personally am against tanning salons. My cousin got cancer from them when she was 20 years old. I think that the sun is stron enough but when you are out in in you should make sure to wear a natural sunscreen. You can still get tan from the sun with...

ryleesmama How old is your child? A child should not have honey untill they are at least 1 years old. Try Hylands teething gel or teething tablets. They are all natual and can be found at Walmart and many other baby stores.
