sweetdove Maybe your husband is beinga bit hard on your son, but by the sound of it, your son deserves it. I think your hubby is trying to side and with you and discipline your son. I don't think you should challenge what y our hubby says especially in front of your...

sweetdove I really won't mind..its much better than joining a drug syndicate or an unerworld mafia group! I'm a devoted christian and I try to bring my children up in the way of the Lord, so going to a seminary will mean that my son takes his commitment to God...

What is your favourite memory of being pregnant?

superchook @superchook (1786) • Australia 10 Feb 07

I always loved being pregnant, from the beginning to the birth. When I had my babies, I always felt lonely inside, I felt like a part of me was missing, even though the baby was in the same room with me. I know, it does sound...

all4ucnc @all4ucnc (861) • United States 11 Feb 07

She's starting to talk pretty good now, though she does have a slight stuttering problem, I was told to ignore it. But if she gets to pick out a toy, she goes straight for the puzzles, she can do a 70 piece puzzle in about 20...

sweetdove wow! I think you have a genius on your hands! Your mum might be right - don't push her too hard, let her go at her own pace. But if she picked out the puzzle herself, then by all means, indulge her!

sweetdove Well, this is a tricky one.I'm tempted to say get a pet, or get married or have kids, but this won't necessarily solve the problem of being lonely. Your pet may die, your spouse may leave you, or be too engrossed in thier own lives to be 100% available to you,...

SHINE333 @SHINE333 (1284) • India 12 Feb 07

I do maintain a budget but most of time my budget becomes very less. Finally I had borrow or take loans. Still to have a budget helps to put up plans and manage my money.

sweetdove i think the responsiblity of a household rests on both hubby and wife, regarldless of who brings in the paycheck. I don't think anyone should be a super-boss. It should be a partnership thing - but when a need arises for one person to make the ultimate...

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 11 Feb 07

I have a friend whose three year old son speaks English and Thai as well as any child the same age. Admittedly, his mother is Thai and his father Australian. The point is he has no difficulty simply translating to either parent if...

sweetdove I also agree that its very important for a child to be multi_lingual. A child should be introduced to a second language as soon as possible, say, as early as 1 year. If any of the child's parents speak this langiage, then its easier as the parent can speak to...
