Trishzen www.blogfeast.net is the community blogsite that I'd recommend, it works pretty much like writingup. However, if adsense is a problem for you then set up a free blog at www.blogger.com, you can ad your own advertising to it through which ever company you...

Trishzen it doesn't seem like he's very considerate, he shouldn't ask you to come get him if he can't at least chip in sometimes. you can always make other plans, and say you can't pick him up tonight because you're going out with one of your girlfriends :)

Trishzen children are so adaptable when it comes to learning, and certainly language. I've seen the "one parent one language" thing recommended in "babytalk" magazine. I think that's a great method- if it works for you. I don't think you'll confuse your child if...
