bigmommy I am most definitely a meat eater!! I just loove meat! I don't think I'd ever be able to live without it. I do eat vegetables, but not all the time and never on it's own.

Retail Therapy

megs85 @megs85 (3142) • Australia 15 Dec 06

The term 'retail therapy' is used to describe a major shopping spree designed to alleviate stress or lift ones mood, erase theie problems from their thoughts. Do you think retail therapy is an effective solution to one's problems...

bigmommy Well, i don't think this can ever be a real solution. maybe something to make yourself feel better, but of course, it can't solve your problems. I do this myself, and it does cheer me up. I wouldn't recommend retail therapy to someone whose reason for being...

How safe are your family photographs?

megs85 @megs85 (3142) • Australia 1 Feb 07

I have been thinking a lot about what material possessions mean a lot to me, due mostly to the bushfires rampaging around this area. And the one that always is at the top of my list, is my family photographs, in particular...

bigmommy It seems we're both very "paranoid" with our family photos. Actually, it's my husband who does all the precautions needed in this area. We have thousands of photos and they're all stored in our hard drive here in the house with backups in his laptop, his...

Do you let strangers touch your baby?

prettypinkbug @prettypinkbug (437) • United States 31 Jan 07

When you take your baby or small child in public, do you allow stangers to touch them? You know that little old lady or the little old man who wants to come up to you and say how cute your kid is and then pat them on the head or...

bigmommy I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who hates it when strangers touch my babies!! This always happens to us, wherever we go, people always approach us and attempt to touch my babies. It's a lot easier with my 1 year old since she doesn't like strangers and...

bigmommy I don't think your son is too old to go to the ladies' restroom with you. He's certainly too young to go the the men's room by himself! How about bringing your son to the restroom for the handicapped instead? there are diaper changing stations in there right?...

bigmommy Obviously, both should be considered work! but it really is unfair for some people to think that we stay-at-home moms do not work. Like a lot of people have said already, we work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no days off and no vacations and sick leaves....

Kscott @Kscott (634) • United States 10 Jan 07

Men carrying pocketbooks.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45941) • United States 8 Jan 07

Years ago an attempt to get men into carrying handbags was started. They had some great looking bags. The trend didn't catch on. I don't know if I would buy a pocketbook for my husband. I highly doubt he would carry one.

bigmommy actually, this is already a trend. And a good thing too!! It's about time men let go of their masculinity issues and just start carrying their own things, instead of asking their wives or girlfriends to carry it for them. I mean, face it guys, this is very...

Should children do chores?

Julia1970 @Julia1970 (410) • United States 8 Jan 07

I think so. If you do not train them how to clean up after themselves and treat their things(clothes and toys) with respect, what are they going to do when they leave home? There are a lot of people who honestly do not know how...

bigmommy yes, definitely! children should be trained to do chores and other such responsibilities early on. We parents won't be able to take care of them forever and so it's important to teach them things like these as early as possible so that in the future, they...
