MysticTomatoes The child should be at home or in a controlled environment, especially since she's what? 6? A six year old doesn't understand that because Jimmy is eating a cookie with peanuts in it that she can't. My sister's child is allergic to eggs and they have to be...

1. Is it ethical to YOU? Why or why not? 2. Do fetuses have the right to live? 3. If you are a female and you were raped and became pregnant, would you abort the fetus? why or why not? Does the fetus/fertilized egg have the...

MysticTomatoes 1. Yes, it's ethical. It needs to remain a safe and legal right for any and all women who want one. If you don't like aboriton, then don't have one. Plain and simple. 2. The mother in me says yes. The woman in me says no. I know what I went through with my...

My son sleeps with me and my husband. We all share the same bed every night. My mother-in-law told us that we should let him sleep in his own room since he's already 7 years old. He's got his own room and yet he never used it,...

MysticTomatoes He can't sleep in his own room because you've never made him. My DH and I have NEVER let our DD sleep with us in our bed. She has her own room with her own bed. When she was an infant and we first brought her home from the hospital, she slept in a cradle next...

I observe in most of the family they beat their child everytime in each case like say why do this and beat for that some time say why you cannot do this and beat. This is not good for a small child because now we are seeing the...

MysticTomatoes There is a huge difference between beating and spanking. I spank my DD. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Trying to reason with a small child to make them understand what they did wrong and why IMO won't work. They don't have the mental ability to be able to reason...

Last night I was watching tv, and I saw this show about parents spending $30,000 or more in a birthday party for a 6 years old kid! It was incredible to me! The mother actually let her little daughter make all decisions for the...

MysticTomatoes Sorry, but no. My kid is just that - she's my child. She's not my equal or she's not my guardian or my mother. She's my child. She gets what my DH and I are willing to pay for. I'm not raising one of the little brats that we see on TV that dictate when and...

MysticTomatoes Yah actually it does. Some laws are wrong. Some aren't. The fact is a CHILD shouldn't be allowed to travel alone in a BOAT in the middle of the ocean.

MysticTomatoes First of all, she is only a child if you treat her like a child. Sorry. She's still a child. In the eyes of the law, she's under age. A sixteen year old has NO business being out in the middle of the ocean bobbing up and down in a boat...

MysticTomatoes Endangerment? Child abuse? Neglect? A child at sixteen isn't an adult. They can't make adult decisions without first being emancipated from their parents. As far as I know, this kid was sill legally a minor. The best thing they could have done was said NO....

MysticTomatoes I don't know if there would actually be a case here or not, but I've seen worse cases. Parents who didn't dress their child in a warm winter coat being brought up on abuse because the child said he was cold, even though he was dressed appropriately. I can see...

MysticTomatoes There's a HUGE difference between being supportive and being STUPID. Being stupid is letting your CHILD sail around the world alone in a rinky dinky boat. There are other ways for a parent not to suppress a child's actions. Support them with their school...

MysticTomatoes And as for the dirt, that should be the least of your worries. Insects are in your home. Fecal matter is on a lot of stuff. I read on the news that washers have fecal matter in them. You wash your clothes in them. You wash your baby's blankets and clothes in...

MysticTomatoes That's actually not a bad idea. I've seen the socks people can put on and they dust the floors as you walked. I've also seen outfits for dogs that do the same thing. Makes sense. The kid's on the floor anyway. Might as well make him earn his keep. We...

MysticTomatoes I don't think that you can say just because a parent does X that a child will do X also. I grew up around smokers and drinkers. I don't touch either. I'm a vegan actually and I don't think most of my family knows what a vegetable is. My husband is also a...

MysticTomatoes Personally I don't like Nokia phones. They're cheap and poorly made. I'm a BlackBerry user myself. I don't like the iPhones either. For something so technologically advanced, it can't do half of what my Berry can do. You can't leave programs up and running....

MysticTomatoes When I was pregnant with my DD, I kept having the strangest craving for instant mashed potatoes. I sent my husband to the store more than once at midnight to pick up a box of instant potatoes. I didn't want anything else - just the mashed potatoes.
