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...

sheenac1983 @sheenac1983 (63) • Canada 18 Feb 07

I have been faced with some issues recently regarding my choice to put my son in daycare. FYI: this is a long read, I apologize. I'll start from the top, I went back to work a couple months early from my maternity because...

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...

Doctors and medications, are they really that great for you in childbirth?

angelaplus2 @angelaplus2 (8) • United States 6 Feb 07

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...

Did you give having children a lot of thought?

Tesa @xphile777 (427) • United States 6 Feb 07

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...

People having 2 profiles on mylot, is it allowed?

dropkickkennedy @dropkickkennedy (2122) • Australia 7 Dec 06

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?

7 responses •

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...

Childrens vaccinations

ambkeb @ambkeb (782) • United States 18 Nov 06

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 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...

Do You Admit When You are wrong?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 21 Nov 06

Are you one of those people that cannot admit when they're wrong or are you able to say you're sorry without having to prove your point of WHY you were an idiot?

littlebear I admit I am wrong all the time but I hate it when others don't. My mum is the worst at this, I don't think I have ever heard her say, "I'm wrong,I'm sorry" even when she is absolutely in the wrong. It is her biggest fault and frustrates me no end. So for...

littlebear The Amazing Race is the best every reality tv show, followed closely by survivor. I was hooked on the apprentice for a while but they show it too late where I live and I can't be bothered taping it. Plus Donald Trump gives me the sh(#%!
