My Questions & Answers

• Should she have let her son meet his dying dad?

  Yes. She did the right thing. The risk was well worth the reward in this case.

  • Even if it was selfish of the father, it's still the right decision. I'd say NO if he was violent or an addict. Forgiveness over anger.

• Are you resolving to get fit in the new year?

  Maybe. I'm still working on my resolutions, but I think it will be part of the list.

  • It's been a struggle the last few years.. so we resolved to take more pride in what we do have,including our health and house.

• Why never spanking might be worse for kids than spanking them

  Yes. Occasional spanking is OK.

  • I find those that never had to swat their child either only have the 1 kid and that child, and like most dogs, have a great desire to please their parents.
  • I'm going to add something here, sorry for being long-winded... It's not just about if spanking a child is wrong. I've seen a parent never raise their hand to hit a child but what came out of their mouth was more damaging than a red bottom. Verbal abuse can be just as horrible as a beating.
  • yourkiddingright23, Who were you talking about having 3 kids?.

  • DeeDee, I agree with you. I've raised 2 kids, 7 dogs, a couple of horses, and 5 cats. ALL TRAINABLE if you know what you are doing. Each one takes a different approach. My grandmother use to have a ranch. She would train the cats as well.

• Gifting gone wild: Can kids get too much at the holidays?

  Yes. The pile of presents gets crazy and overwhelming and the kids really can't appreciate it all.

  • The more you give each year, the more is expected the following year. Esp now that we have split homes where 2 sets of parents give gifts.

• Is it disrespectful to harbor a secret crush when you're in a relationship?

  No. It’s just a harmless fantasy!

• Should baby boys be circumcised?

  Maybe. I think it's a very personal family decision.

  • Even though I do understand what you are trying to get at... there's a difference between extra folds of skin and a clitoris. The clitoris is full of nerve endings and erectile tissues, and is like removing the penis.
  • I know what is done. You are talking specially removing the clitoral hood and not the clitoris itself, as you stated previously. Please, there is a difference between the two. Now talking just about removing the clitoral hood and removing the males foreskin...
  • It's a family decision. One that should be made by the PARENT's not some 'know better than you" individual that not responsible for the ki

• Is it OK for moms to spice up Halloween with a sexy costume?

  Yes, as long as you’re going to an adult party and not out trick-or-treating with the kids.

  • Why not? An adult shouldn't have to be into a prude when the kids are away. Halloween is a perfect time to let loose and have fun w/ dressu
