stephwrites yes, it's a stress reliever but not enough to get trampled over! that would just negate any highes I got from the shopping experience!

stephwrites I agree with you on this one Lash, shocking, isn't it? grin. If this person were not a priest, he would be required by law to report any confession to the police and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But unfortunately, a priest has been give special...

stephwrites Life is a period of time. And doing things you don't like or having things you don't want is a waste of time. That is my philosophy. But it's also about having a clean conscience. So the best way to enjoy life is make it about things and people you like and do...

stephwrites We don't 'celebrate' Halloween really. We just let the kids go out and have some fun. I don't let them wear anything 'scary' or witchy or bloody. They have to find something pretty fun and neutral. And now that they are older, the 19, 16 and 13 year old don't...

stephwrites I too have had this problem. They start to take you for granted after awhile and it sucks! But as Dr Phil says, 'you teach people how to treat you.' First analyze. Do you tell them thank you when they do something or give you something? You have to set the...

Or do you find that you have an easier time, if you just clean it up yourself? Do you think that it is important to teach your children to clean up after themselves? Why or why not?
