The pressure of kids

kena1979 @kena1979 (49) • United States 28 May 09

What age do you think your kid(s) are out of control or going through a phase of trying to fight for their independence? My daughter is 9 years old and she is getting to be a handful. She makes things so much harder on herself and...

simplyshawn I do chores with my 7 yr old son. But the hardest thing I'm having problems with is reading (although I don't think it matter which problem you have maybe this will be another option for you). I want him to read just 15 min. per day. He's not been doing it...

simplyshawn I do have a facebook page. I go there maybe a couple times a week and occasionally take a quiz, but it really seems like more of a waste of time to me. I do keep up on what friends are doing only because of my facebook page. I'm not addicted, I have other...

He cooks way better than I do! (okay, did I just said that?)

xroadsempress @xroadsempress (290) • Philippines 22 May 09

Okay, so now, I really should get over the fact that my ex-boyfriend is way better in cooking than me. And I thought cooking is for girls. You know, boys just don't play kitchen when they were what, kids? But it makes me smile. It...

As seen on TV

simplyshawn @simplyshawn (650) • United States 28 Mar 09

How many of you purchase various products from TV? Are they worth it? If it doesn't work out do you return it to get your money back? Or does the item just sit there unused taking up space. I've ordered one thing that I can...

Wait! Stop! I want to write that down

makingpots @makingpots (11915) • United States 20 Jan 09

Do you write while you are reading? When you come across a new word, a word you like, maybe just an interesting phrase or idea, do you stop and write it down? Do you make notes in the margin, put an asterisk in the corner of the...

simplyshawn Well, it certainly depends on what I'm reading. However I mostly read to learn something instead of for enjoyment purposed only. So I do underline and may possibly take notes in addition to that. I have to write it down because it's not too often I will go...

What did you want to be when you grew up?

tabsnlos @tabsnlos (587) • United States 7 May 09

As kids we want to be the most amazing people! We want to be the President, Astronaut, Doctor and so on... What did you want to be? Are you living your childhood dream or did you go in a different direction?

Parties & Planning

simplyshawn @simplyshawn (650) • United States 14 May 09

I was reading an article and she planned her own birthday party. Has anyone planned their own birthday party before? I just thought that was odd, but it is my own opinion. I don't think I would ever plan my own party. If anything...

simplyshawn You should decide to plan a big party and just do it!!! Maybe you could do it for one of your friends if you didn't want to do it for yourself. But in the end does it really matter who it's for? It's just fun to get together.
