mskim2u2004 @mskim2u2004 (355) • United States 4 Dec 06

We've seen this so many times on Maury- Severely Overweight Children That Is. When is this going to stop? I'll tell you how I think this starts. I see so many mothers putting a bottle in their childs mouth everytime they cry. They...

darklight21 As you said, it's true that too many mothers shove a bottle in a baby's mouth everytime he or she cries. I believe this has a lot to do with the obesity of children. Some people do think overweight children are cute but what they fail to see is the health...

My son has a father that is absolutely absent from my son's life. It's not that I don't allow it. He says he wants to be a part but the seems to find no time to see his son. He had left us when my son was 6 months old and he was...

darklight21 My father was never a part of my life either. My ex-husband didn't take part in the lives of my two sons but I never kept him away. It was his choice. He said he wanted to be a part of their lives, then he moved to another state with his girlfriend and could...

darklight21 I agree that having children is not for everyone. I don't feel that anyone should have to feel like they should have a child for any reason. This is a personal choice. The state of our world really isn't the best place for children to be raised but then again...

darklight21 It depends on your belief. You have the right to teach your child according to your beliefs and that's none of anyone's business. I do believe that Christmas is too commercialized although I don't believe it centers around Santa as much as it does the almighty...

darklight21 Sometimes people should really use their brains and think before they open their mouths and let stupid comments pour out. I don't see color; I see people. My son is white and his girlfriend is black and they have a beautiful one year old baby boy. We've had...

Do you think it's ok to SPANK kids? Why or Why Not?

MothersWorkAtHome @MothersWorkAtHome (966) • United States 1 Dec 06

darklight21 Yes, there are times when children need spanking. There is a difference between spanking and abuse. Kids are so out of control these days that you have to wonder who is the child and who is the parent in some cases.

Why are bill collectors so rude and unfeeling?

samsonskola @samsonskola (3357) • United States 30 Nov 06

Is it just their job, or do you think it takes that type of personality to do a job like that? I have been put down and literally told that I'm stupid when talking to bill collectors. I don't like the fact that I've even been put...

darklight21 Yes, it is their job but some of them are just needlessly rude. Personally, I couldn't work at a job like that. I couldn' be unnecessarily harsh. I'm too compassionate and understanding for that kind of work.

darklight21 I see quite a bit of this. Children are too spoiled. Parents tend to give them everything they want instead of what they need. My sister-in-law always ran out and bought her kids the newest this and that and now that they're older she complains how they have...
