I want my child to become...

alonagatoc @alonagatoc (7) • Philippines 6 Sep 08

Is it right for parents to decide on what course their child should pursue? In my humble opinion for our children to become good students and for them to be successful... We should let them decide on what they want and...

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 15 Sep 08

I have to say, mine was. I also was given some great advice before our wedding that really helped me keep things in perspective. In fact, I don't even know who said it. The advice was: SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. Now this was not an...

taysyd My wedding was everything I planned. My advise to engaged couples is to make sure you love 120% because thru the test of marriage, it will go down. I've been married for 18 years and I must say I love my husband like I've never loved him before, so for me,...

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 27 Sep 08

gemini_rose @gemini_rose (16264) 28 Sep 08

taysyd I could be friends with my 16 year old because she's a lot like me when I was her age. She doesn't have a lot of friends, but the friendships she has are loyal. For a 16 year old, she's mature and knows what she wants out of life. In regards to my 12 year...

mona269 @mona269 (133) • Philippines 17 Sep 08

taysyd I have a blog and the traffic isn't great at all. I think it's because of the subject matter. The subject matter is not really an attention getter in the blogging world. Although it's a popular topic in the blogging world, it's a personal blog. I'll continue...

1111appleblossoms @1111appleblossoms (169) • Canada 24 Sep 08

taysyd I'm torn with being a house wife and a working mom. I've always been a working mom. House wife sounds good basically because I'm tired of working! At the sametime, I know I would miss the adult interaction if I were a house wife. Feelings are mixed but if I...

akpay22 @akpay22 (131) • India 24 Sep 08

Birthday Cakes

glords @glords (2614) • United States 26 Sep 08
