Stay at home mother

melvinandheather1 @melvinandheather1 (540) • United States 11 Sep 08

I am a full time college student and a mother of two with one on the way. I am also a stay at home mother. The other day while in the grocery store i ran into an old friend who in a nonchalant way critized me for working at home....

bridgetl What a rude way to act. Hopefully, this person isn't a friend anymore. A stay-at-home mom is the HARDEST job there is, and the most rewarding. I was able to stay at home with my son for his 1st 5 years and am so thankful for that. Now I work part time and...

I Thought I Was Having A Heart Attack!!!

Rozie37 @Rozie37 (15499) • Turkmenistan 11 Sep 08

Because of all of the stress that I have been dealing with lately, I have not seen a doctor in about a year. This morning, I was doing my hair back in one ponytail. Because my hair is so thick, it was quite a task. At some point,...

bridgetl You should definitely get it checked out. Even if it is gas, that can be serious too. Due to the fact that you are under a lot of stress, that can have an effect on so many things. I had the disease that they call GERD, gastro esophaegeal reflux disease. I had...

What do you think about schools today?

lorelei1622 @lorelei1622 (329) • United States 12 Sep 08

My questions is... What do you think of today's schools? Do you think they are adequately teaching our children? What areas need more attention? What areas are getting too much? Our local school seems to spend all it's money on...

bridgetl I think today's schools that I have had experience with have been somewhat lacking in certain areas. My son was constantly bullied, one time in a classroom with the teacher there. She wasn't even paying attention! Unfortunately, I think it's harder today...

bridgetl Wow!! I'm glad to hear that she is doing better now. My sister was in a car accident several years ago and broke her back. It is overwhelming when someone you love so much is so sick and hurting. When she was lying in the ER, she was in so much pain, and they...

Another baby killed so sad

mflower2053 @mflower2053 (3223) • United States 12 Sep 08

A 5 month old baby was put in a dryer by his babysitter. She was frustrated with the baby so she put the baby in the dryer and left the room. Came back to the baby who was unreponsive. What the hell did she think would happen? She...

bridgetl I didn't hear about that. Seeing those stories, I get so emotional. I just don't understand how a mother could kill a child. I feel like if we are blessed to have children, it is truly a miracle. It is the best thing in life for me, being a mom. Of course, I...

bridgetl Wow!! Men can be so unaware. You should maybe sit down with your husband and explain the fact that you would like to be alone with him on your honeymoon. At the very least, maybe stay in a different hotel. But the most important thing is, you need to tell him...

Sweepstakes

waters1748 @waters1748 (307) • United States 4 Sep 08

Do any of you enter sweepstakes on a regular basis and if so have you won anything? I've been entering for a couple of years now and have won some pretty cool things. Three of my bigger wins were a $100 gift card for American...

bridgetl I do enter sweepstakes and have won a few small things. The biggest thing I won is a game, which I can't play because I haven't received it yet. I'm not sure which game player it is on. Oh well, I guess my son will get a new game player for Christmas, haha. My...

Getting called MA'AM makes me feel OLD

saundyl @saundyl (9783) • Canada 10 Sep 08

Suddenly I've noticed that somewhere along the line the teenagers in stores call me ma'am. It makes me feel soooo freaking old. The Cashiers or others that are older than me still call me miss or ms but oh boy when the M word...

bridgetl Boy, do I ever agree with you. I HATE being called maam. I know that people are just being respectful, but it sure makes me feel old. And I'm not even old, just 42. I don't think you have to look a certain age, I think it's just some people's way of showing...

chemist2writer @joyadalia (1408) • Philippines 10 Sep 08

bridgetl My husband and I had just taken my son to school and were on our way home when we heard it on the radio. It was my husband's 40th birthday. What an awful day. I still remember the disbelief, it seemed like it was a movie or something. It didn't seem real at...

bridgetl I would love to know more about your site. I am in the same boat. I have tried surveys, but they take so much time, and usually just an entry in the sweepstakes. Tell me more about yours.

books.....buy new or used?

bubblyapple @bubblyapple (2653) • Philippines 10 Sep 08

I have read somewhere that a book is one of the things that you could buy used. After all, the article argued, after reading it, you don't have much use for it. Do you agree with this? For me, there are books that I buy new....

bridgetl I love to read books, but unfortunately, I can only read them once. So I usually buy them at a used book store. A lot of times, they will take back the old ones at a reduced rate, so at least you can use the credit towards the new ones. Another way to get...

bridgetl I love eating pizza too. I LOVE CHEESE pizza. But sometimes I like to add toppings; such as mushrooms, black olives, bell peppers, sausage. But what is really good is extra cheese with a crispy crust.

bridgetl My son is 13 and wants a Wii. I think that's what I will get him. He has a DS and plays it sometimes. He is an only child. He still does a lot of things with us, his parents. So I don't worry about him spending too much time playing games. Good luck with...
