athomemommy I learned to respect my elders as well. Actually respect and listen to any adult. Cover my mouth when I yawn, sneeze or cough. Don't hit or bite. As I got older I was taught to be nice and make good decisions when it comes to interacting with others. And...

Red or White?

sheenac1983 @sheenac1983 (63) • Canada 4 May 07

Do you prefer red wine or white wine? Or does it depend on the meal you re having. Personally I prefer red during all occasions. I would rather not drink white wine at all, but I will if the occasion insists.

I would like to ask you all something, and I did not know where would be appropriate to put my topic, so I am here writing to all of you. I wonder what it means if your mother is always critical of you. I hear some people say...

athomemommy This is a tough one. Mothers and fathers have such an impact on thier children and most times do not know that depth of that impact. The slightest off hand negative, non supportive comment can crush a childs confidence. I do believe a lot of times that when a...

athomemommy Tolerance, kindness, and patience. Everything else seems to fall into place when you have these three qualities. These are what I hope to teach my son. ~at home mommy~ http://mommyathomefornow.blogspot.com www.personalgrowthresources.net

In_a_Crafting_Daze @In_a_Crafting_Daze (88) • United States 24 Apr 07

My aunt and I had our first children about a year apart. She is very strict on her daughters routine and I am very very laid back. Her daughter gets up, eats, plays, bathes, and goes to bed at the exact same time everyday. Mine,...

athomemommy I agree... It is so different for every child since all children are soooo different. I am finding that my 7 month old - he is actaully turning 8 months tomorrow is very laid back. It may have to do with the fact that I fed him on his schedule - not mine......

athomemommy It is frustrating. I have a 7 month old. Until he was 5 months old the only place he would nap during the day was on the living room floor - on one of his soft blankets. When I transitioned him to his crib I would wait for his queues to show when he was tired,...
