One, few or more children

rimarima @rimarima (80) • Philippines 14 Jan 10

I always loved big family because I grew up having 4 siblings and having activities all by ourselves, even without other playmates, was always a riot and we enjoyed a lot. But now that we are starting our own families, we do not...

Should men have a say in choosing abortion/adoption?

astromama @astromama (1221) • United States 2 Feb 07

Tricky question, but one I have often wondered about... should a man, who is the father of the fetus, have a say in regards to the woman's choice? I ask because it seems like many women are comfortable choosing abortion without...

mommy2taylor1 I definately think that the father has the right to know that he is going to be a father. I do not think it is fair of a mother contemplating the decision of abortion to not even consider the baby's dad in the decision. I do not believe in abortion.

I recently started watching my fiances niece. His sister has told me that if she is bad to spank her. I personally don't feel right discipling another persons child in that way. I do time out, or tell her that she can no longer...

mommy2taylor1 I think if you are the one is taking care of the child then you need to discipline them to your liking. I mean, if you don't feel comfortable with the other measures, don't do it. I do believe in spanking to a point. Although, I have found that time outs work...

What kind of thermometer do/did you use?

dayzz25 @dayzz25 (552) • United States 2 Dec 07

Early potty training

Amy @artemis432 (7474) • Abernathy, Texas 24 Oct 07

Here in the US, parents don't start potty training until the baby is close to two - some children aren't fully potty trained until they're three. My husband was potty trained when he was ten months old and from what I've read -...

mommy2taylor1 I hate to tell you this but, I think you could still very well be sick while in labor. If I were you I would call my Dr. and see what he wants you to do, because some Dr.'s want you to come in when your sick in your preg. to make sure they can rule out...
