pentaluda0878 A great bored mom. LOL. It's not as hard as you think really, I'll put away laundry while the kids complete a worksheet, they help with all the chores and stuff so it saves time and I stopped being a perfectionist, my house is clean, the sofa may have dust...

If you believe in spanking or other types of "corporal punishment" (as some call it), where do you draw the line? When does it stop being "discipline" and when does it start becoming abuse? How do you know you haven't crossed that...

pentaluda0878 Ok I don't spank, haven't in years probably only done it a dozen times between my 3 kids, and they are 9, 8 and 6. But I do think there is something to be said for the generation where mom would say wait till your father gets home and dad would come home grab...

pentaluda0878 You can discipline your kids in a positive way, you just have to remember that discipline is not about tearing down a child self esteem or making them feel crappy. Yelling creates fear, not respect, and isn't always effective, it just teaches your child to...

pentaluda0878 The only issue I think you are wrong about is the fact that the movie was good. I had finished the series, well what was out before the seeing the movie, and I was so disappointed. From the book standpoint the movie sucked. I actually wish I had waited and saw...

pentaluda0878 It looks like you have 4 kids, if it sucked so much why do it again and again and again? I have terrible pregnancies, but I love every miserable moment of it. I'm sick all the time, tired all the time and due to complications always end up on bed rest, with my...

I know there are lots of discussions about age gap. But I'm trying to find a big age difference such as this. Here in the Philippines, it's very common especially for interracial couple. I even know some couple like that....

pentaluda0878 Ok if you go out in public and people think you are grandpa or daddy, the girl is to young for you. Yes age is just a number but EWWW, and come on you think a 18 year old girl is actually in love with a man that age and enjoys her wifely duties?

pentaluda0878 Good for him but there when it comes to larger sums than change I think there are better things to do with it. True story my brother and his friend (they were 8 or so) found a 20 in the street, instead of keeping it they took it to the police station and had...

pentaluda0878 My oldest used to get croup and actually being out in the cold worked even better than his machine that gave him his medicine at clearing his lungs. Yes it seems odd but you are right it works.

pentaluda0878 I think this is a great idea, we go so far as to kill the power strips that have our computers(4) and tv/stereo system at night before bed, so there isn't even auxiliary power being wasted except for things like alarm clocks that are always on.

pentaluda0878 like I said I'm torn, it does sound greedy. I have a friend with 5 kids very close in age and she had 5 showers, another friend who has 3 and has done it for each, and a women I used to babysit for who is expecting her 4th, her second with her current husband...

pentaluda0878 Actually according to other cell providers i can't use a sprint phone and the lotus is a sprint exclusive. Some types of phones you can switch out the card and get a different provider but not sprint phones, or at least that is how I understood it. I don't...
