littlebear Hi gabyperalta, just because you are at home with your baby and not earning a "wage" does not mean you are not working hard. Bring up a child is a huge responsibilty and takes a lot of time and energy. If you are not ready to go back to work and can survive on...

Hi, recently I have started back at work and my 1 year old is now attending childcare 2 days a week. In many ways she has adapted to care really well, (is sleeping well there, is eating well and generally has a full day playing...

littlebear The clock sounds like a great idea - but due to traffic I am not sure that I would be able to consistently be able to pick her up at exactly the same time. I guess if I was early it would not matter but if I was late I would feel awful for letting her down....

littlebear Thanks for your response. I try not to linger too long but I also don't want to "dump and run" either. I guess it is a fine line between the two. The carers in my daughters room are fabulous and are very good at distracting her when I leave and making her...

littlebear I understand your predicament. I have recently gone back to work and have my child in care 2 days a week. In an ideal world I would love to be able to stay home with her full time. I have gone back to work for financial reasons - my husband and I do not have...

Okay, I got more into this ideal as I started looking up what all the drugs women use in childbirth can do to them. The doctors and such push all sorts of different types on women, without really telling them what they do(besides...

littlebear I think both are important but I would rather spend QUALITY time with my daughter over QUANTITY. I don't think that their is any point being at home with your children if you spend all day doing housework, watching tv, running errands etc and not focusing...

It seems to me most people don't put much thought into have children. They grow up just assuming they'll have children because it's what's expected of them. But do they really sit down and consider whether they ready...

littlebear I have always wanted to have kids and when I was in my 20's and struggling with "the meaning of life" and what it was that we humans are put on earth for, it dawned on me that life was (for me) about procreation. Having said that I didn't just go out and...

i think there is people on this forum who are using 2 profiles as a way to get more money, can this be tracked or is there a way of finding out?

littlebear I noticed in some other threads that it appears that some people are copying and pasting in other discussions. So perhaps this is why the question of 2 profiles has arisen? It is something I guess I haven't noticed happen yet.

littlebear I don't see how having 2 profiles would be cheating. You would still need to spend time on the site and provide opinions and start discussions etc to make some money (if that is the reason you are on mylot). Perhaps someone has 2 profiles because they want...

My 4 month old daughter is going next week to have her 4 month shots. I have a friend who says this is wrong of me to give them shots because of all the problems it could cause. In most states it is a requirment to have them and...

littlebear I personally think that immunising our children is important. The potential bad side effects of immunisation are outweighed by the benefits. My daughter is only 10 months and her shots are upto date and I will continue immunising her at the appropritate...

littlebear I agree, you wouldn't need money on the island. But to come and go from the island and bring in friends when you want to have visitors you might need the money for the boat/airplane/helicopter to get them there....

littlebear Yes I have breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. If you don't have breakfast you are more likely to need to have a mid morning snack (which you will then be tempted to have something quick and unhealthy to satisfy the craving). Having a good...

littlebear Thanks birthlady. My baby was born 8 pounds 14 oz so I guess regardless of my "trauma" over the birth, she was pretty healthy and was perfect in every way. Next time round I think I will take the time to be better "educated" - I will take the time to know and...
