kristypants I've never put my daughter to bed with a sippy cup or a bottle. I've never seen the point, and always thought it was kind of lazy. I always fed her her bedtime bottle while we cuddled, and always tried to put her down in her crib awake so that she can learn...

kristypants My 19 month old daughter tries to imitate me all the time. Whenever I get her in trouble she put her hands on her hips too, and then I can't help but smile. She pretends to talk on the phone, type on the computer, and she's constantly walking around in my...

How would you feel if your daughter was gay

Vixx06 @Vixx06 (162) 5 Aug 07

I have always thought of myself as open minded. One of my friends came to visit yesterday. She was very upset as her daughter had told her she was gay. I told her it did not matter and to just accept it. After she left I wondered...

kristypants I think that we'd all like to say if one of our kids turned out to be gay it wouldn't bother us, and we'd accept them for who they are. I think a lot of us when we actually get put in that position, things are different though. I'd LIKE to say that I'd...

kristypants I have heard that kids aged 16 months to 20 months need about 15 hours of sleep including naps. So if he sleeps 12 hours at night, he should probably have at least a 1 hour nap during the day. Have you tried tiring him out before his nap? My daughter (age...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 11 Aug 07

Lately, I've been trying to lose weight and have been having trouble keeping track of daily meals. So, I have been considering keeping a weight loss journal. Perhaps I could track of meals and daily exercise. Plus, I would like to...

kristypants I'm on sparkpeople.com, and they have a place for you to record everything that you eat. I don't do it all the time, but I notice when I do, and I'm consciously writing down what I'm eating and how much, I eat a lot less.

kristypants I hardly ever take my daughter on play dates. And even when I do, it's because I just happen to have friends with kids and we're getting together anyways, so we just let our kids play together. But that's about the extent of it. I sometimes feel bad too,...

kristypants I think it's his job to put forth an effort with his children, and with you. Your son said that he didn't like when Dad was home, because of something HE did. It had nothing to do with you. Unless your husband realizes that he has to put in an effort when...

kristypants My daughter's not at that stage yet, but when she is I plan to just leave her alone. I'd be proud of her for dressing herself, and I'm sure her fashion sense would come later (hopefully!) And like someone else said, there's enough things to fight with your...

kristypants I agree, 11 is way too young. I plan to not let my daughter wear them until she's old enough to have a job and buy her underwear herself. Haha. If I were you, I'd take them away. They're not appropriate for a girl that young. Especially with the whole...

Should I dilute her juice?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 9 Aug 07

Lately, my daughter has been asking for lots of juice. And, I've noticed that it is interfering with the amount of food that she wants to eat. On days when she drinks lots of juice she is not very hungry for real food. And, I was...

kristypants Juice isn't very healthy to begin with, even the baby varieties aren't much different than the juice we drink. She's better off eating more fruits and veggies than drinking juice. I give my daughter 1 sippy cup with half juice and half water in it at lunch...

kristypants If you can afford two children, and you WANT two children, then you should have two children. Don't have another child just to keep the first one company, if that's your only reason.

kristypants I'm only 22 and I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter. My husband doesn't want any more children, but I can't stand the thought of just having one. He hasn't done anything drastic yet (vasectomy) so maybe I still have some time to talk him into it.

Do you talk to your spouse when they are at work?

surveygrrl @surveygrrl (1270) • United States 23 Jul 07

Do you ever talk to each other when one or both are working? I normally call my husband once a day sometimes it ends up being twice and sometimes we don't get to talk because one of us is busy.

kristypants I usually talk to my husband at least once a day while he's at work. And I always wake up in the morning before he goes to work to kiss him goodbye. It just doesn't feel right if I don't.

kristypants It usually makes me feel flattered, and if the guys too pushy a little creeped out. I always have guys messaging me even though I never hide the fact that I have a boyfriend and a daughter. It doesn't seem to really work as a deterent though.
