My husband loves the website failblog.org. He found this video on Fail blog's YouTube channel. I watched it and thought it was funny. But some of the comments left under the video are berating the parents for filming their child...

luv2cook4u I do not consider this abuse, it is actually great parenting. The child is learning how to dress himself and that is something that happens sometimes. If he had asked for help, I assume the parents would have given it. There are too many people out there who...

luv2cook4u This could backfire if the nieces/nephews are not well behaved. Rather than an entire weekend, I would encourage visitng with other children for shorter periods of time. Have them over for dinner or take them to the zoo for a few hours. It just wouldn't be...

How long did it take you to get pregnant? My first pregnancy was after almost a year of trying. It was ectopic, unfortunately. But, four months later, I was pregnant with my son who's now 19 months old. It took 11 months after...

luv2cook4u I agree with the other person, it is best to discuss things with her and explain your concerns. Ensure her that you want her to be a part of the baby's life, but that you are not comfortable being legally obligated to a set amount of visitation. Honestly, in...

For years, I didn't add salt to my cooking, mostly for health reasons. Just recently, I bought some salt to use when making mashed potatoes and it's really made a difference in how things taste. Salt is unhealthy, that's...

luv2cook4u It depends on the what I am making. For veggies and "simple" dishes, I let people add salt as they wish, but they have to get the shaker and use it in the kitchen, not at the table. We also have a family "rule" that they taste it without adding salt first....

luv2cook4u As a parent who had CPS called on me, I am a bit sensitive to this issue. In our case, we were accused of neglect because our 6 and 7 year old were allowed to play outside, unsupervised. Nevermind the fact that I was in the house on bedrest with a high risk...

luv2cook4u Not that this makes it any better, but she actually met him when he was in the 2nd grade, but the relationship turned, ahem, "adult" in 6th grade, when he was 12. I think it is is absolutely disgusting and cannot believe how she is glorifying her behavior. I...

luv2cook4u With the economy the way it is lately, I think there has become a new "breed" of robbers. These are people who feel they have no other way to provide for their needs and so they resort to robbing. They hate doing it and feel guilty, but are too prideful or...

luv2cook4u They do not pay for it where I live now, but when I lived in Utah, many years ago, I did it. I was a struggling college student at that time and it definitely helped to buy groceries. Plus, the plasma is used to help others. Currently, I donate whole blood for...

luv2cook4u Check around for for the best rates and look for coupons and/or employee discounts. Entertainment books and even the yellow pages often have car rental coupons in them. Priceline is also a good place to check.
