To tell or not to tell

SViswan @SViswan (12051) • India 13 Jul 08

I'm a kindergarten teacher and I usually send out a note to the parents(once a week) about how the child behaves in the class so that the parents are aware of what's happening. Now there's this little girl who is a little...

houndsgood Call for a parent/teacher conference. Make it for a time that is after the work hours of the parents. This way, you get to talk to the parents, not the maid. If the distractedness is not something that is not really out of the ordinary, I would try to find a...

What do you do about toxic people in your family?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 19 May 08

I had a horrible morning and it has to do with toxic family members. I don't even live NEAR them any more and they still manage to reduce me to a mess. I found out today that my male gendered parental figure (sorry, I can't bring...

houndsgood Some parents more than others have a hard time when their children move far away. Also, parents don't like to see their children hurt and want to protect them. Especially if he is fairly traditional and especially if he sensed something amiss with your ex, he...

houndsgood Next time you see her, I would go up and say hello to her. This way she knows that you actually saw her, and can give her an opportunity to introduce her friend or explain. Or you can get the close up view of the situation and not just guess. When you see...

Is it okay to feed cats dog food?

Foxfire1875 @Foxfire1875 (2010) 20 May 08

I would have thought since it's just meat in a tin it would be okay but I'm not sure. A friend has said it isn't because there is something in dog food that is great for dogs but not good for cats. I'm pretty sure I remember...

houndsgood Nope. I wouldn't do it deliberately. It may not make your cat sick to eat it once, but repeatedly, they may have nutritional deficiencies, etc, as cats and dogs have very different nutiritional needs. Like what was said before, they may get sick because they...

houndsgood It is no different than if you have a family, and the father needs to work in another city because of where their particular job has been moved to. Or is a trucker and is hardly home, but does it for the good of the family. Or what about people in the...

Would you tell your friend?

SViswan @SViswan (12051) • India 19 May 08

houndsgood It is none of your business to tell. Every kid, even "well behaved" ones sometimes have a melt down. I am sure your little angel has his moments too, and when he does sometimes, you "can't believe he did that." While it is not right to speak rudely to the...

houndsgood I would just cut out the unecessary things. I would buy a case of bottled water instead of buying them individually at a machine or gas station, or I would just fill up my sports bottle instead with filtered water. Potato chips are also something that can be...

houndsgood I always look to see if the dog is wearing an id tag. If it is, then I call the number on the tag. If it appears to be a friendly dog and is looking around and crying and they will come to you, I make sure the dog is safe and look for signs in the neighborhood...

houndsgood Are you the type to never any makeup, hang around in sweatsuits most of the time. Maybe he thinks it would be nice if once in awhile you put on some makeup and dressed in something more feminine. Maybe that's what he means.

houndsgood I am glad it went so well. Yes, there are things that i have worried about, and find that sometimes worry sort of "makes" things turn out badly because people end up reacting to your nervousness and you tend to get upset at the smallest things

houndsgood Buy a citronella barking collar. It is not cruel like a shock collar. When your dog barks, it sprays citronella and they hate that smell. After awhile they begin to self correct themselves. I would try that for awhile until the neighbor calms down. If i could,...

houndsgood I wouldn't get a tattoo right on your hand. Most tattoo artists won't do them if they are reputable for your sake and the sake of their reputation. The hand and feet take more abuse than other body parts and tattoos there will fade or turn into a black blob...
