mrumley I do normally give a tip, but the amount of the tip depends on the service, 15% if the service is good, 10% if it is average, and 5% if it is not so good. I guess if I don't get good service then I shouldn't get a tip, since it is their job to serve me my...

Drinking from a cup

tracie1758 @tracie1758 (507) • United States 26 Jan 09

I'm trying to get my daughter to learn how to drink from a cup and it's not going so well. She would rather use the tippy cup as a teether, rather than try and find out what's inside of it. I have tried taking the stopper out so...

Ever wanted a nanny?

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 27 Jan 09

I have seen people on television that are wealthy and they have a nanny. Especially the celebrities. I guess it is so the parents can get a little extra help when they are out and about. I don't know if I would do that even if I...

mrumley In my situation I don't need a nanny--and cannot afford one. I enjoy my time with my kids (boys almost 1 and almost 3). A housekeeper who would come in once a week or every other week would be really helpful though. I always want to spend more time with my...

mrumley Well, she is 16 and obviously has a mind of her own, but you are still the parent. You make the rules and when you tell her to do something she needs to be reminded to show some respect for you. I am a mother of a 1 year old, so I am not speaking from...

mrumley This is so true. When I was a kid we always ate dinner together until we were in highschool and we got very busy. I think one of the problems is that we put our children in too many activities becuase we think that it will help them, but it is also important...

Do you feed your dogs table scraps? Our dog died from feeding scraps.

ShadyGrove @ShadyGrove (996) • United States 2 Apr 07

We used to feed our dog table scraps, but I know we ended up killing him because of that. We had some left-over gravy and it was mixed with his dry dog food after our dinner one night -- he got so sick and had to go to the vet. He...

mrumley I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. We don't normally give our dog scraps from our leftovers. Every once in a while she will get a little leftover steak. Once we got very busy after dinner and forgot that we didn't clean the table and we came out in...

mrumley I am not an expert by any means. But in August we had our 5 year female german shepherd fixed and she was a mess when I picked her up from the vet. She could hardly walk, and she actually fell out of my car when we got home. She did not eat or drink for two...

mrumley We have a 5 year old german shepherd and she is very well trained. However, she was trained prior to us getting her at 3 1/2 years old, so we were not trained with her. She has always pulled me when I take her out. We just started some training with a friend...

mrumley I have a 13 month old and I was incredibly blessed that he began sleeping through the night at 2.5 months. It is my understanding that it is up to the child and every child is different. Is your baby teething?

mrumley Marriage is so personal and individual. If you are ready, then get married, but if you are not you should wait. It is a big, lifetime commitment. My husband and I got married when I was 22 and he was 25. I was very ready and we had been together for 5...
