beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 30 Nov 07

For awhile, my little kid couldn't wait to brush her teeth. In fact, everytime I turned around she was asking for her toothbrush and toothpaste so she could do the job herself. That was ages ago. Now, I am always having to...

Does your child get embarrassed or mad when they made a mistake?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 30 Nov 07

My little kid gets pretty mad when she makes a mistake and she doesn't want anyone to point it out. Not that I would actually point out a mistake. For instance if she trips on a toy or something like that, she doesn't want Mommy...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 29 Nov 07

How did you feel when your children were born? When you became a mom, did you feel as if you had received a promotion to a more lofty and valuable position? Or, did it make you feel as if you'd taken a step down from a more high...

A long time ago, my little girl asked for the moon. Literally. She wanted to bring it down from the "ceiling" outside and put it into her room. It was supposed to be her birthday gift. Of course, that was before she understood the...

Do you always know when your child is telling a lie?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 28 Nov 07

When my little kid was three years old, I could always tell when she was telling a lie or not telling the entire truth. She would look away and toss her head. I'm not sure why that would tip me off to the fact the she might be...

Have you ever crocheted a baby blanket?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 28 Nov 07

One of my favorite hobbies is crochet. And, so when my baby was born, she had plenty of crochet blankets and booties. I'm always surprised to find that so few people crochet anymore. Everyone thought the crochet items were so...

Can a man be a good mom, too?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 28 Nov 07

Do you think that it's possible for a Dad to have the same caring qualities of a Mom? Do you think that men can be just as good moms when caring for their own children as a woman would be? Personally, I do think that it's...

Do you wake your kids up in the morning? Or do they wake you up?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 14 Sep 07

For awhile my daughter was getting up so early, that she would wake me up. And, by nature I'm not a morning person, so it wasn't easy. But, now that she's a older, she sleeps a little later and most times I'm the one that wakes up...

Do you have more patience for another person's child?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 14 Sep 07

So, do you think it's easier dealing with another person's child, rather than your own, like when you are babysitting for a family member? Or, would you prefer dealing with your children rather than another person's child? Even...

It's play time, but Mommy's tired.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 14 Sep 07

Sometimes my little kid will play by herself most of the day and not even want to play games with me. Most times she waits until nearly six PM before asking me to play a game with her. Maybe she's just bored with all her regular...

Dealing with swear words in movies.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 10 Sep 07

Even though it's easy enough to check a movie's rating (PG, PG 13, etc.) to see if it would be appropriate for all family members and just turn off the ones that have too strong of a rating, I've found that some older movies don't...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 9 Sep 07

Do people think that you're gullible just because you are nice and don't start arguments? Do they assume you are an easy target, because you are pleasant and give them the benefit of the doubt? For years I've struggled with the...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 8 Sep 07

Lately, I've noticed that my daughter is starting to tell little white lies. Nothing major, just the self serving variety. I don't think she's trying to be bad or mischievous, but she is certainly putting her own spin on the...
