I got in a fight with my mother-in-law earlier. She was telling me that I'd better have another soon so that my daughter doesn't grow up an only child. She says that only children turn out spoiled, self centered, bratty, and...

pillowgirl I have seen people spoil their whole family of 6. It's not about being an only child, but about how you raise them. I have one child, she is my only and always will be. I am able to give her more than if I had more kids, but that's by choice.

pillowgirl I think this would be different for every child and every parent. Personally, I have a 2 year old girl. My husband is a big fan of WWE, but when she gets old enough to understand what it is to hurt other people, she may not be mature enough to watch it. I...

pillowgirl Perhaps you should use this opportunity to be the coleader with some conditions, for example, you have between now and February to prepare, right? Tell the leader that you are happy to help, even eager, but would like some of the training that will help you...

I sometimes wish I could go back to work. I want to use my brain. I just want to use a pencil and have adult conversation. Sometimes I get so tired of cleaning, doing laundry, coloring and playing make believe (I always get...

pillowgirl At one point when my daughter was 1 year old, I was laid off of a job and given 14 weeks paid time and then 21 weeks of unemployment. I decided to take my daughter out of day care and be a stay-at-home mom for a few months. I thought this would be a rewarding...

Today was my first day as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. It really wasn't bad, except for that I felt like I was annoying people. A lot of ppl gave me awful looks, and a lot of ppl turned up their noses at me. How do you...

pillowgirl I consider the Salvation Army bell-ringers to be an essential part of the holiday season. Especially since I have a child. We spend so much time at Christmas time worried about "What so and so wants" and "How will I make sure I can get that barbie my daughter...

My son was having problems in kindergarten. The teacher stated he does not sit still, and thinks he might have ADD. This issue escalated to the principal who felt the same way. We visited a children psychologist, and his...

pillowgirl ADD is a plague to many in my family. I don't believe it is made up, because I have seen its effects first-hand and in my brother, mother, and others in my family. I believe that many teachers and doctors use ADD as a blanket diagnosis when they can't...

Do you believe in it? Do we go straight to heaven or hell, or do we keep coming back for another chance? Do we come back only as humans, or do we come back also as animals?

5 responses

pillowgirl Does this help you to live your life to its fullest, since you only get one go at it? What do you base your decisions of right or wrong on? If there is no heaven or hell, there is no reward or consequence, so why not do random acts of chaos? Murder a total...

pillowgirl I can tell that you have a very different culture than mine. In my culture, wives should be treated as equals and being married isn't a duty. It is more a gift that two people give to each other. What kind of gift is it to marry a woman, then treat her like...

pillowgirl I used to date a guy who had a unique view of how to handle service at a restaurant. When we would go to Denny's, he would introduce himself to our watress and take out a stack of 10 dollar bills. (Remember this is just for the two of us to go out to a small...

pillowgirl I would tell her something like this, "I like you, but I don't like that you aren't there for me when I need you. It seems like you only call me when you need something, not just to be my friend." Don't make it about her as a person, but about her behaviors....
