What do you think is the best age difference gap for siblings? I only have one child now. My son is 10 months old. I am thinking maybe I would like to have a 2-3 year gap between kids. What do you think is best? what is the...

lynnpamelago The age gap of my kids is 4 1/2 years old. By the time my baby was born, my eldest child was already "independent" in some ways. But you can never avoid jealousy, no matter how old the older child is. I guess the best age gap between two kids should not be...

lynnpamelago Having kids is a lifetime commitment--commitment to take care of a new life you brought to this world. Therefore, if you're not ready, it's ok to wait. Spend time with your husband for the meantime. YOu'll enjoy this time together because once the kids start...

lynnpamelago If you feel that it's worth it, then go for it. Worth it, meaning, you know you love this person deeply and you're sure he loves you whole heartedly; it will be financially rewarding for both of you, especially if you start raising a family; the country you're...

lynnpamelago I'd give myself a 5. I admit, I'm a lousy wife. I can't even cook. And I'm also guilty of giving too much of myself to my kids. I'm a full-time mom and that's what I concentrate on, to take care of my kids, to give them what they need, to watch over them. I...

I have two kids and I enjoy motherhood tremendously. It's a 24/7 job,that's truly more fullfilling than any other career. When you see your kids growing up and and giving you so much love in return, what more can you ask for?

lynnpamelago Thanks for your reply!:) I do have a degree, but I guess it's not that easy. I have heard so many stories about migrating. Some, even though they have a degree from the university, still go there and work as nannies or housekeepers. I know there are some...

lynnpamelago I couldn't agree with you more. It annoys me when kids run around the restaurant. This happens to my daughter when she has company who also influence her to run around. It angers me so much but I can't reprimand the other kids--I mean I can't because their...

lynnpamelago I have 2 kids. I was a hands-on mom to my eldest one, translation: I took care of her without the help of a nanny. Now that I have 2 kids, I must admit, I can't manage without any help so I hired a nanny. Despite this, I don't leave my kids to the household...

lynnpamelago In my case, I would only tell other people's children what to do or what not to do if I feel they are hurting/affecting my children. Otherwise,I wouldn't really bother about other people's kids.

lynnpamelago NO it's not amust to have a child. You only have one if you believe in yourself that you can commit yourself to parenthood. It's a 24/7 job. No vacation leave, no sick leave....you have to be on the go. So don't be forced into it if you don't feel ready for...

lynnpamelago I know how stressful this stage is, both for you and for your step-daughter. My daughter is 5, and we are also going through the same problem. We can only do so much to help them. At this age some children can't hold their bladders. And some sleep too soundly...
