Babysitting vs. Daycare - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 01:48 PM That is not enough money for you to live on... unless you take care of other kids in addition, you need to charge more. M.O.M Team, Stayin Home and Lovin It, who are they? - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 01:45 PM Love some of the products... hate others, despise the program. They make good soap though! Updates From the Sick Ward - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 09:15 AM Looks like you "got outa her grill" (lol) for a few moments... take care of yourself so you don't get sick too! My First Venture Into the Ghetto - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 08:57 AM The area around Shea Stadium has been ghetto-ish. In the early 1990's a friend of mine who worked at the Burger King across the street was held up at gun-point. The area has slowly improved over the years. Should You Buy Your Child a Cell Phone? - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 08:47 AM My son got a cellphone at 11, and I have a hard time getting him to use it. We get to the mall and as he starts to wander in the other direction, I say "where is your phone?". "At home" he says, so I make him stay with me. But then he only uses about 10 minutes a month! I think it was smart for your to make him "pay for it." As my kids usage increases, I may need to consider this! The Cell Phone Debate Continues - Blog Entry05 Jan 2007 08:40 AM Wow! Excellent points. My son got a cell phone at age 11, and when my daughter turns 11 this year she will get one two. We, their parents, feel they need them for safety reasons. Sometimes classes and lessons end early and mom and dad are not on premises. The next cell phones both kids get will have tracking capabilities as well. Yes I got through my childhood, college and the first 5 years of marriage too without a cell phone... and I grew up near NYC! But after 10 years with a cell phone, it is definitely a lifeline. Missing people have been found and tragedies averted because of cell phones. While I understand the reasons schools may need to ban these devices, as a parent, in a post Columbine world, I would surely want some kind of compromise! If You Don't Trust the Mirror, Take a Good Look at Your Dog! - Blog Entry04 Jan 2007 10:41 PM HMMM. My pets must take after my slim husband! Let's Talk About Handling Unwanted Belly Touching - Blog Entry04 Jan 2007 08:05 PM I just made a mean face, and said "don't do that". After complaining about it to my unborn daughters Godparents, without knowing that the husband was dying to touch my belly, he finally got up the courage to rub my tummy, get in his car, and drive away. I was a little nicer after that... he cracked me up! The Let's Talk Blog Top Ten - Reasons for a Homebirth - Blog Entry04 Jan 2007 08:01 PM I had my first child in the hospital even though I was tempted to have a homebirth. Turns out I had a bleeding disorder and needed emerency intevervention. I had the second in the hospital too, for the bleeding disorder... I would have had to rip out the carpets (sorry). How do you plan for the unexpected like that?... just curious. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 |
