SandTrooper Even though she gets upset. If she is your friend, she will listen to you. But you have to be sure. Set something up that will bring all of you together. Catch him in the act. So she can see herself. Good hunting

SandTrooper Hey Berry, I do not think age really matters. As long as it is not to much of a difference. Say and 18 year old girl, with lets say 50 year old guy. No, wrong. Now 18 years old girl with 25, 26 year old guy maybe. As for older girls with younger guys, why, do...

Dseacrest @Dseacrest (203) • United States 13 Jan 07

My daughter is now the proud owner of a cellphone. I am curious as to wonder if any parents have bought a cellphone or allow their child to carry a cellphone. We thought as parents that it would be a good idea since she is getting...

SandTrooper I think nowadays children should have a cell phone. Especially if your schedule is as busy as you say. With all the bad things happening out there. Example. In New york City there was a man running around flashing young girls. If it wasn't for this young girls...

SandTrooper There is a saying that one man's garbage is another man's treasure. Even though I do not mind either, but it become's a pain in the butt. They should at least clean up after themselves. If not it should be banned. Where I come from they do it all the time....

Discipline: Would you report someone who spanks their children?

sabrinam @sabrinam (1203) • United States 13 Jan 07

SandTrooper even tough your parents will always be there for you(don't really know situation) and they will definetly miss you if you go. I think you should pack up and go. Get yourself a single room some where. Work, save money and go to school. Try not to end up like...

SandTrooper To be honest that is a very hard decision to make. At the end of it all, if you have to wait for a miracle. Then, I would pull the plug. You have to think of the child and how his life is going to be. Yes, of course you do not mind taking care of him or her...
