Taking a plane for the first time - any tips or advice?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 25 Sep 09

I have never been on an airplane. Tomorrow me and my sister (who HAS been on a plane) will be taking an hour-long flight to Chicago, IL from Minneapolis, MN (USA). Not too long of a flight. What are some things I should know...

zuhause8 Bring chewing gum. It helps equalize the pressure in your head during take off and landing. Wear comfortable clothes, the airplane seats are uncomfortable as it is so compensate for it by wearing comfy clothes. Enjoy the view!

Kids and cell phones...

themdno @themdno (402) • United States 26 Sep 09

Should parents buy their kids cell phones? What age do you think is old enough for them to get their first phone? I have a friend who just bought her kids, who are 9 and 11, each a phone. I think it's too young, and even she...

zuhause8 I think its too young. Kids that young shouldn't be in a position where THEIR personal cell phone is the only phone available to them. Whether its a house phone or a grown ups cell phone they should have access to a phone if needed. But to give a child the...

Have you ever been told bluntly that you are not capable of doing something?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 25 Sep 09

I have just very recently, though the person told me that she didn't intend to insult me, I was insulted. In turn, I thought she didn't really have the right to tell me so because she didn't show that she was capable of doing that...

zuhause8 The "no offense" comment is BS!! I never understood why people say that and then blatantly say something offensive. "Find another damn way to make your point!!" Yes, I've been told countless times that I cant do something. It makes me feel horrible, then I...

zuhause8 Yes!! At this level in education they should be learning basics/building blocks. The "make your own formula" should be left for later grades. Children this young are still learning fundamentals, as parents we should be able to follow what they are doing. I...

If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you can just leave!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 25 Sep 09

Every few years the "nursing in public" issue returns to the Wisconsin state legislature and to the forfront of casual political discussion. Apparently it's that time again. This discussion isn't about nursing in public though...

zuhause8 I don't think its a matter of "your feelings don't matter" if your not the nursing mother, I think it comes down to nurturing a child. If this childs only form of food comes from a breast, the mother isnt going to let her child go hungry because someone feels...

What will you do when you find out that your 7-year old daughter has a crush?

culinarianmom @culinarianmom (47) • Philippines 23 Sep 09

I know this is normal. When I learned about this, I wanted to panic but I didn't because my daughter was in front of me. What do I need to do? As a mother, I can't help it but be protective with my children. :-(

crush

daughter

mother

zuhause8 Its natural for a mother to feel protective and want her little girl to stay little forever but its also natural for little girls to have a crush or idol that they adore. Be there to listen to her feelings and thoughts, encourage the emotional growth, but...

Do turtles make good pets?

I'd imagine turtles would make a boring pet. What do you think?

zuhause8 I've always had a turtle in my house, even growing up. I don't know if its just something my dad and I do together or if its actually a hobby I enjoy. I've noticed that they have personality and get "attached" to certain people. Its all subtle but noticeable...

Responsible pet owner or not?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 21 Sep 09

Today's Dear Abby contained a letter from a dog owner who picked up his dog's droppings, placed them in a plastic bag, sealed the bag and then deposited the bag in somebody else's trash can. Acceptable? Or should he have gone...

What do you do when your kids annoy you?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 25 Sep 09

There are times when I enjoy my time with my nephew. But when he's not really int he mood, he tends to be annoying and a cry baby. I can handle him because we are not together all of the time (unlike his parents). So, I'm...

Can a man love two women at the same time...?

francisfour @francisfour (68) • United States 10 Sep 09

I had an experience like this and I always felt he loved his first woman more than me but showed more passion and excitement with me. Of course I left the scene...but what do you think?

11 responses

zuhause8 I think it is completely possible for a man to love two women at the same time. In my case, the other woman and I were complete opposites. He knew she wasn't good for him but still had that need for her. What I offered him, she couldn't and what I couldn't...

zuhause8 My relationship is a roller coaster these days. Being 9 months pregnant, I'm not the easiest person to get along with. We try to be mindful of each others feelings but sometimes it just becomes too much to handle.

Would you be a surrogate mother?

sender621 @sender621 (14894) • United States 25 Sep 09

There is a new movie out in the theatres. it is called Surrogates and stars Bruce Willis. It's about robots taking the place of humans. The title of the movie made me start to think of something. I had always connected the term...

zuhause8 I don't think I could be a surrogate. I'm 9 months pregnant now and am having a difficult pregnancy. I don't think I would want to endure this much pain and discomfort and not reep the benefits. I'm also a Nanny, so I see daily how I impact a childs life. Its...
