Why are mothers so competitive?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 5 Dec 07

Does it mean you are a better mother if your 17 month old knows his colors, or if your 2 year old can sing the ABC's? Does it make you feel good about yourself to look down on a mother whose toddler has a tantrum? Do you feel like...

nica269 fortunately, I have friends who don't boast and that are supportive and helpful when I have questions or concerns. It IS hard to find humble mothers. And I have to agree that sometimes it does seem like a competition on how's 'parenting' better. I ignore...

nica269 I am very much looking forward to the release of the 5th movie. I've read all the books and I can't believe it's finally here! When I saw the movie in theaters I just finished reading the book, so I was a bit disappointed. But now that all the books run...

A White Winter...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 3 Dec 07

Have you ever gotten caught in a blizzard? Have you ever gotten stranded in one? I have once. I went to a strip club (during my wild days) and on the way home (it was about a 3 hour drive) we got caught in a blizzard. You...

Looking for a Loved One...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 3 Dec 07

Have you ever lost touch with a loved one? Are you looking for someone from your family or a friend? There's a saying that for every 7 ppl there is one that you know. So, I'm starting a discussion for those that are looking...

nica269 I fortunately haven't lost touch with family. Friends I have, but I guess that's part of growing up and growing apart. I would love to reconnect with High school friends I haven't seen in years.

nica269 I think i'd chose time travel - because if something didn't work out the way I thought it would, I could go back in time and chose the path that did lead to what I expected, or wanted.

Do/did you wash your baby's clothes seperately?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 3 Dec 07

I always did, and I still do. My son is 14 months old. I don't know why I do it, because I use the same mild detergent for him as for the rest of the laundry. I am starting to think that maybe I don't need to separate his things...

nica269 I still wash his clothes separately. I too use the same detergent and everything else as with our clothes, but I guess I just feel better washing his clothes separately. Maybe because I can keep track of it better. I think i'll keep doing that until he's...

nica269 I think the worst thing that happened in 2007 was me not getting anymore disability insurance after my maternity leave ended. And the best thing that happened in 2007 was celebrating our little boy's First birthday.

What kind of thermometer do/did you use?

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

nica269 We bought an ear thermometer too and it doesn't work too accurately if our son doesn't stay still long enough for it to beep twice. If you have the sameone we got, there's a beep, then a few seconds later there's another one, and that's the one that is the...

nica269 I don't follow my friends by their avatars, so if you change it it wouldn't be too much to adjust, since I look at the names before anything else. Anyhow, I think if you're going to change it, it should be something you like. I LOVE Tinkerbell, so I put her...

When looking for a job, are cold calls ok?

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 30 Nov 07

I am looking for a specific job, within a specific area. If the places I am hoping to find work are not advertising for help wanted, is it ok to call and ask if they are hiring? I know some places don't like this, and I don't want...

1 response

nica269 I think you have nothing to lose if you're calling and asking. Yes, some companies don't like it, but how are you going to know if they're hiring if they aren't advertising. In my opinion, you have nothing to lose by calling and asking.

nica269 Absolutely! The toy recalls are completely out of hand, don't you think? We haven't bough any new toys since all the recalls started. Not that we NEED any more toys in the house, but my goodness, the recalls are outrageous!
