    To say or not to say????

    I would confront the couple about leaving the child alone. There are so many people, sickos, idiots, out there who would take advantage of him. If that didn't work I would definately report the parents, family or no family. Also, MHO, the law is not right at all. I have a 11yr old cousin...

    Sorry about your friend, Mig. Jaime was lucky not to have any of friends hurt who were the Roosevelt (which got back last month I believe). I wish you and your friend the best of luck, Mig. As for us today. The kids do not have school today. OUr school system said it would be better to be...

    That story was so sad. Most of the stories I've read don't tell the "dark side". They all show the survivors as having minor injuries and getting on with their life. That story as heart behind it. Thanks for sharing that Flo.

    I want to instill some sense of patriotism in my kids. I also think those who died last year should be remembered. I want my kids to grow up with some sense of something bigger then what they see around them every day.

    I was just wondering how ya'll were going to spend your day tomorrow. IS anyone going to the candlelight vigils? Anybody going to anything special? I will spend the day being thankful I have my family, for one. I want to have my candles lit with the TV vigil going on. I think I may sit down...

    Birthday Gift for a woman

    If she doesn't have a "Mother's Pride" ring, that would be a good idea. For the past few years my mother has been wanting a "Mother's Pride" ring. This year I think Dad and I are going to get her one. They are pretty and have her birthstone along with those of her kids. My mom loves them and...

    Spanking a child

    I'm glad it's not just in my house then, Bch. It gets annoying when I say something, they don't do it. When he says it, they jump and run.

    Spanking a child

    The WIC office here gave out papers from CPS when I had Rachel on WIC. It gave us guidelines of punishment. Or morealess, how to raise our own kids. I presonally think it should be up to the parents. NOw say a 6 year old kid goes out to the building or to the car or whatever and huffs gas. Ok...

    Spanking a child

    Jaime just says get and do and they get and do. I don't understand the difference but they listen to him better. Some people say it's a matter of a "masculine" voice versus mine. I think they just know he has very little patience for them acting up, where I I'll ignore some but not all. There...

    Spanking a child

    I say spank them if you to. Sometimes my girls won't listen at all. I tell them 190 times not to do something and they keep doign it, even with putting them in "time-out" or putting them to bed. As soon as they get up they go right back at it. Sometimes, being spanked is the only thing that...

    Duct tape can be your friend.

    I will definately agree that kids want guidlines. Most kids just want to see how far they can push their parents. I came from a strict family, so I have noticed since Jaime and I have been together that I am a little too easy on my kids. One of the things I won't do though is step in when...

    He doesn't have any disabilities that I know of. He was premmie so I do take that into consideration. But I was just wanting advice for helping him learn. Maybe a "best way to teach" him. With my oldest daughter, our puppy taught her how to crawl.Whether he did it on purpose or not, who...
