mountaingirl Your comments on substance abuse is what worries me the most. Someone with those problems needs help themseves so they can learn to take care of themselves much less an innocent baby. As much as it would hurt you to have to do so if you have proof of...

mountaingirl She doesn't expect that Poptart to feed the child all day she expects you to. You need to keep track of everything you feed the child and at the end of the day (or week) present her an itemized bill. She will be angry most likely, but you remain calm and...

How much would you charge for babysitting?

CliffShep @CliffShep (40) • United States 24 Jun 08

mountaingirl I have ran a home daycare in the past. Sometimes you feel guilty standing up for yourself because you know the parents do work hard, but so does the babysitter. You have every right to charge extra for working overtime. My advice is call some local daycares...

TriciaW @TriciaW (2441) • United States 24 Jun 08

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 23 Jun 08

I became a mom at the age of 17. For some reason I thought it would be cool and fun to have a baby. Although I didn't get pregnant on purpose, when I found out I was pregnant, I was thrilled. The fear didn't hit until labor did....

mountaingirl I was in my late 20's when I first got my drivers license and I live in a very rural area so I understand limited or no public transportation. My advice to you is to talk to other young mothers. You may be able to arrange a schedule where you watch their...

Do you eat left-overs to save money on food?

alindahaw @alindahaw (1219) • Philippines 23 Jun 08

My husband used to hate eating left-overs but with the onset of the "food crisis", he changed his opinion. A couple of months ago, we stopped throwing our left-overs on the garbage bin after every mean and save them for the next...

mountaingirl Yes we definitely eat left overs. I often take them for lunch the next day and depending on how meat was fixed you can often turn it into a whole new dish. Fried or roasted chicken is wonderful when you shred it mix it with some salsa, cooked white rice, and...

My husband just seen my drivers license and just realized I was a organ donor. He seems to have a problem with them cutting me all up and think if I'm on life support they will just take my organs before my family...

mountaingirl I don't really know where I would end up living because if I had the means to I would travel. I would love to spend a spring in the countryside of Ireland. All the pictures you see of Ireland at that time of the are so green and lush. I would walk the...
