"Family" prisons

Kaldonya @Kaldonya (277) • United States 10 Feb 07

I just read in my town's newspaper today under world news about this: In a town 25 miles south of Madrid, there is what is known as a family prison. If parents have a child under 3yrs of age, they can go to this prison and live in...

SAHMom I think that is absolutely ridiculous! First off... if a parent does something bad enough to be in prison they of course should not have their child. But to have a child live with their parent/parents in PRISON until they are 3 then take them away... that is...

SAHMom I DO NOT shop at WalMart. My husband LOVES Walmart but I too agree that they cause alot of small businesses to fail simply because the small businsses can not compete and that is so sad to me. I know that no matter what type of business you have there is...

Are 2YOs too young to learn a second language

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 11 Feb 07

I have a friend whose three year old son speaks English and Thai as well as any child the same age. Admittedly, his mother is Thai and his father Australian. The point is he has no difficulty simply translating to either parent if...

Melizzy @Melizzy (1381) • United States 11 Feb 07

I am not a parent, but I do have direct care giving contact with my little cousin, age 5. We are placing him in private school this week as he has had a horrible time in public school. He has a speech delay and his teacher...

SAHMom Hi! I went to a Private Christian School for several years and we used Abeka .... I honestly do not remember ever being taught evolution at all with that Curriculum. Alot of Christian schools do use it and since we don't believe in Evolution I don't believe it...

Was Adam created by cloning "God"? Was Eve created by cloning Adam?

polachicago @polachicago (18716) • United States 10 Jan 07

There are myloter's out there who can be surprised or offended with the notion that cloning was described in the Bible. In Genesis 1/26, there are important clues that the creation of Eve from Adam was not conducted by a singular...

Bedtimes for kids

goldjay @goldjay (465) • United States 10 Jan 07

What time is a reasonable time for kids to go to bed? I have a 7 year old daughter who goes to bed every night at 9PM and gets plenty of sleep since she gets up at 8AM. Friends tell me that this is too late of a bedtime for her...

SAHMom You have to get on whatever schedule is best for you and your family! I have a friend that puts her kids to bed at 6:30 every night and they get up at 5AM. This personally would NOT work for me. We usually stay up later. Some nights my kids may go to bed at 11...

Should a 3 year old ride the school bus?

cindync23 @cindync23 (52) • United States 10 Jan 07

Maybe I am being a little too paranoid about this. My 3 year old son is in pre-k. All the other kids in his class rides the school bus. I take him to and from school. I have a 5 month old that can't get over a cold and I think it...

What are your views on daycare?

Magikrose @magikrose (5429) • United States 8 Jan 07

Mariska's Hair

Melizzy @Melizzy (1381) • United States 7 Jan 07

I am not a fan of the longer hair. Not a fan of the dikey do she had a few years ago either. But at least it looked better. I know she had that baby and all, but yikes, get it cut. Shorter anyway. So, adding to the list of silly...

Setting your clock ahead.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 9 Jan 07

Here's a question for you....do you set your clock to read 5, 10, or 15 minutes faster than what it truly is? I have known people to do this. One person had actually set her clock ahead by 30 minutes. My advise was to just set...

cjbond @cjbond (12) • United States 8 Jan 07

What name do you have for a pacifier?

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 20 Dec 06
