I have a friend with a 5 year old. Her daughter started pooping in her room. She has tried many different punishments and none seem to work. Has anyone else dealt with something similar to this or have any ideas on how to fix it?...

GuateMom I'd say this is an issue of attention. My sister did something similar at the same age and even older, she would refuse to use the bathroom and would pee at the foot of her bed. My mom was told to start spending individual time with us and it stopped. One of...

GuateMom I'd call the cops. You probably don't want to get directly involved since it could cause even more issues down the road, but any neighbor could call the police, so they won't know who it was and you'll hopefully help the family. Often they need counseling and...

People are naturally having difficult times in conquering the pain of a broken relationship, and its really hard to get over it. It is usually asked if being friend with your ex is possible. If there is a potential in doing so,...

GuateMom There's a possibility that you can be friends with your ex's partners, but it depends on a few things. First, if he or she left you for the other person, you'll probably have a tough time with it! Also, if the new partner is suspicious of you or jealous, it's...

I think men and women change a lot after marriage. I used to spend more time with friends before marriage. I used to come home late night before marriage. I became more responsible after marriage. Similarly women also change a lot...

GuateMom I think women change more than men, truthfully. What does change with men is that they don't need to "court" the woman anymore, so they stop doing a lot of the nice things that they did before . . . now they have access to her anytime, so why bother? But the...

I haven't done this until recently. I see no purpose in it. Why do all instructions say you are supposed to soak them before cooking them? I worry that I am pouring off essential nutrients by throwing the soaking water down the...

GuateMom I cook my beans in the crockpot, so there really is no need to soak. If you're trying to save gas on the stove, though, soaking overnight is a good way to go. It really does soften them up.

I get tired of cooking sausages in the ways that Ido so I'm looking for ideas on how to do them differently than I already do. I currently do the "normal" grilled/fried in a pan or griller, curried sausages & a sausage casserole...

GuateMom I use sausages a few different ways. 1. Chop them up and add to scrambled eggs. 2. Chop and add to potatoes and fry the whole thing with some onions and tomatoes. 3. Slice into rounds and add to a simple cabbage or potato soup. 4. Make cabbage rolls with...

OK, we all have our bad habits. And we all have bad habits of other people that annoy us. But how many of you are annoyed by something even though you do the exact same thing? Here's an example of one that I find myself doing. I...

GuateMom Probably my worst one is yelling. I get very upset with my husband if he yells at the kids, but then I do it, too. sigh. It's a terrible habit! He's never called me out on it though, which is very wise on his part, lol.

GuateMom What a great list! I remember a bunch of these from when I was younger. My son has a little bit to go before he's ready for the likes of Charlotte's Web, but I'm definitely going to check these out. Thanks!

GuateMom His stories always check out so I don't think it's anything like that (my first thought, too!), maybe it's just a control thing? :S

GuateMom I live in Guatemala, so they have no public libraries here. :( Not with kids books anyway. I'll see if I can find the two that you recommended though!

I usually wear cargo shorts + t-shirt when I go out. It is very cool and refreshing especially for a tropical country which I live in.

GuateMom I go out in jeans and a t-shirt, usually. I'm not too fussy about clothes as long as they are neat and clean.

what do you put pickles in

2 responses

GuateMom I'm a big fan of pickles on their own. In fact, that is pretty much how I eat them all the time. I do put them in egg salad and potato salad, but no one else in my family likes them (the horror!) so mostly I just munch on them as is.

GuateMom I'm not sure it's true that gays are more accepted. However, I think guys tend to be more laid back about their sexuality. They aren't as in your face, whereas most of the lesbians I've met are 100% manhaters. I know that's not everyone, but my sister is gay...

GuateMom You have a couple of options here: 1. Sit down with your mom and ask her why she doesn't like him. She has her reasons. And sadly, as much as it sucks, parents sometimes are right about these things. My dad told me my first boyfriend was a loser and it...
