venicebloom Sounds to me like it is time for change! Kids need to do everything that has to be done in a home, and to share responsibility. They need to learn to give of themselves. So, my suggestion would be to teach them how to do laundry and tell them they are on their...

venicebloom I have, I do and I would. It is just plain good manners. I enjoy doing little acts of kindess for people, and if I come across a few who are not appreciative, I never let them change the way I do things.

Evacuee @Evacuee (1147) 10 Feb 07

I don't mean nasty jealous but just a fiendly attitude to you if you get near to your partner/husband? My wife and I were just having a dance around the living room to some good big band stuff on the radio and our Jacko was...

venicebloom Yes, our dog gets jealous too if we pay attention to each other. She is a labrador, and will try to push her nose between us when we hug. She also likes to get in on conversations. If we are standing up talking whe will get between us, in our line of vision...

venicebloom I recently bought a Canon Powershot A530 and I love it. I had another digital camera and never got along with it. With the A530 you can use it on automatic if you are a beginner, like me, or you can do all the settings yourself once you know what you are...

Middle of the night calling

thunderofsins @thunderofsins (738) • United States 9 Feb 07

What would you do if someone was calling your spouse in the middle of the night? My husband's cousin's girlfriend keeps calling my husband in the middle of the night! I've asked her to stop, he's asked her to stop and even her...

venicebloom I would unplug the telphone before going to bed. There is no excuse for that kind of behaviour. If you leave the phone unplugged at night for a while, hopefully she will give up trying to call you. Just be sure to leave the phone line draped across the phone...

venicebloom I agree with some of the other responses - this is far, far too soon for them to be deciding they want a child, no matter how it is conceived. I think he is asking too much of you, and creating what could be a very difficult, heart-breaking situation. If I...

My little boy has always been active and a little excitable. I swear though, he has morphed over night, into this out of control little boy. He has always been pretty compliant, usually listens to what I tell him to do without...

venicebloom Yes, I think the legal age in the US should be 18 years old. I grew up in England, where the age to purchase alcohol is 18. Keeping the drinking age at 21 does not discourage teens from drinking, but just makes drinking more attractive as it is "forbidden...

Should 15 year olds have Curfews?

byfaithonly @byfaithonly (10698) • United States 8 Feb 07

My son is 15 and doesn't think he should have a curfew. I on the other hand believe he should not only have a curfew but should be home by 9 p.m. on school nights. I am still mom and boss of the house but at the same time I do...

venicebloom Absolutely he should have a curfew! Teenagers so want to be adults, but they do not have the judgment to behave as one. No matter how well they have been raised, their emotions (and hormones) overrule their common sense in most cases. 9pm is plenty late...

Riding helmets, do you wear one?

mygreyparrot @mygreyparrot (1461) • United States 5 Feb 07

What is your opinion on riding helmets? I have never been horse riding before, but plan to start lessons this summer. I am very concerned about the helmet issue. My brother fell and almost died in a bike accident years ago,...

venicebloom Yes, I always wear a helmet. I have ridden all my life and in my opinion, not wearing a helmet is just dangerous. If you have a fall, not only can you hit your head on the ground, a fence or whatever, but your horse could accidentally step on you or kick...

Tesa @xphile777 (427) • United States 5 Feb 07
