Am I lucky to be an only child?

If I needed or really wanted something badly, I always got it because I was the only one they had to provide for. On the other hand, there was a lot of pressure (and...

Have you started to do your Christmas shopping? No, usually I do start by now but I just can't think of any good ideas for anyone. I feel like I've done this for so many years for the same people that I have run out of ideas of what to get everyone. I've already gotten them so many things - what's left? And money is always an issue. I could really enjoy it if we had lots of extra money to spend, but we don't.

Answer to:
Does having children ruin relationships and marriages? I wouldn't say it ruins them if you're 100% committed, but once you have children, in my experience, you are no longer a husband and wife, a couple, able to have fun with one another. You become the mom and the dad, co-parents, and teammates. It makes you grow up and forget yourselves whether you want to or not, and that puts stress on both of you and thus the relationship.

I used to have all kinds of energy until I had kids. Now I feel all old and worn out a lot of the time, but they just keep going and going.... I think it's the neverending sense of responsibility. I just hope it gets better as they get older.

Did you ever in your wildest dreams, think that raising children would be this hard? NO. I had no idea. I was an only child and had never been around children for extended amounts of time. It was the biggest shock of my life. 12 years and 3 kids later I still have trouble understanding why it's as hard as it is!

Answer to:
When you were a kid (living at home) did you get spanked or otherwise physically "punished" (including beaten) when your parents thought you did wrong? Do you think those spankings/beatings/punishments really made you a better adult? I got spanked a few times before I was 6 years old. Never after that. I deserved it when I got it, and I don't know if it made me a better person but it didn't harm me or make me a worse one. It made me never do whatever it was again, so it accomplished its purposes. I only remember about 4 times total.

Do you still light a real fire at home? Only once or twice a year on really cold nights. We have a perfectly good central heating system so it seems extravagant to go buy firewood and burn it for a few hours. It also dirties up our chimney and I don't want to have to pay a chimney sweep to come clean it out for safety any more than every 5 or 6 years. If we used it all the time we'd have to clean it out every year.

What could your parents learn today, if you could teach them? That racism is wrong in any form, mild or overt. And that it is impossible to save money when you have three children and live in an expensive town on only one income.

How would your father describe you? As "a good kid". He was proud of me because I made good grades, never got in trouble, and got married to a guy he approved of and gave him grandbabies before he passed away. The best compliment he ever gave me though, was that I was a "good little rider". (Referring to my horseback riding skills, which he taught me, and he didn't give compliments easily).

Smoking shortens the lifespan of the smoker from 1 to 7 years. engaging in homosexual behavior reduces the lifespan by 24 years!Why does the smoker get fired both are life style I would say it's because homosexuality doesn't compromise the health of anyone in that person's workplace, whereas smoking (secondhand smoke and the smoke smell on the person's clothes/hair etc.)can.

Answer to:
Even though my boyfriend calls me daily, we only see each other once a week. Could he be afraid of commitment? He may be afraid that if you spend all your spare time together the sparkle and excitement will wear off and your relationship will become monotonous and commonplace. He may want to keep just enough distance that you don't get tired of one another. Have you heard the old saying "familiarity breeds contempt"? He may be afraid of that. But if he talks with you on the phone each...

Answer to:
I Love and appreciate my children more than anything, however sometimes i feel so suffocated i want to scream... Anyone else feel like this, does it make me a bad mother? You betcha I feel like this and you are not alone or a bad mother! I have three children, and the adjustment to motherhood was the hardest thing I've ever done. I absolutely adore them and am so grateful for them but I desperately miss being around people and succeeding in challenges outside the home. I've lost a lot of who I am. I have hope of regaining myself when my youngest who...

Answer to:
Soulmate or not? If you were seeing somebody, and someone came along,(you knew for 4 years) and "proved" to you that they were your soulmate, would you stay with your current, knowing it wasnt going to work out, or go with the 1 in 26 million soulmate? Ma If you've known them for 4 years and after all that time, there's no doubt they are your soulmate, then even if it hurts for awhile, break up with your current person and go back to your soulmate. Otherwise you'll regret it forever.

Answer to:
Were you born with blonde hair, but have a different hair color now (naturally)? Yes. I was blonde as can be, then in about 3rd grade it started turning darker until it became an ugly light brown. I lighten it now to make it like it was as a child. Why does hair do that??

Answer to:
What’s the one thing you wanted most when you were a kid, but never received? I was an only child and we lived in a mobile home and moved every 1 to 3 years. I always desperately wanted a trampoline. My dad thought they were just a lawsuit waiting to happen. I treasured times when I'd get to jump on someone else's, although that only happened about 3 times. So when my daughter turned 6, five years ago, we bought her one, and I've been on it as much as any...

Answer to:
What is your most fond childhood memory of your father? Going on trail rides with him. We'd take our two horses and join up with hundreds of other trail riders and wagon teams and ride down the South Canadian river near Taloga, OK. They were 3 day trail rides and we'd camp overnight on cots beside our horse trailer. We'd ride 26 miles each the first two days then about 14 miles the third day. It was hot and thirsty, but wow, was...

Answer to:
Was your mom a stay-at-home mom or a working mom? She stayed home until I was a junior in high school, not counting substitute teaching occasionally here and there. I appreciate that so much, but I have three kids and am staying home with them and I've done so for SOOO long. (Our oldest is 11 1/2) I'll probably go to some kind of job when our youngest gets into kindergarten or first grade. (He's 2 now). I miss the interaction...

Answer to:
What's your favorite breed of horse and why? POA's, because I had an amazing, wonderful POA gelding when I was growing up, who taught me to ride. I also like them because they are unusually marked (not solid colors, usually, anyway) which makes them stand out and be noticed.

Answer to:
How old were you when you learned to ride a horse? I was 10 when my dad actually started letting me ride by myself with him on another horse beside me, going down the road. I rode regularly from age 10 to age 15, then only on an occasional weekend. Never took lessons, although I would have liked to. He just rode western and taught me what he knew. He's gone now, and I sure miss him and wish he was around to help me with my two ponies...

Answer to:
I know a lady that has had seven miscarriages. Although a personal choice to continue trying to have a baby, do you think that she would stop and give up one day? What drives her to continue, while failure seems inevitable? I'm interested in your opinion I know a lady who had 12 miscarriages but carried the 13th pregnancy to term and had a beautiful baby girl. It was what she wanted more than anything, and to give up would have been the wrong thing to do in her case. She would never have gotten her daughter. She had to take progesterone and do some other stuff to help keep the baby in there during the critical first trimester/beginning of...

Answer to:
My 18 month old son is getting naggy and screaming alot. Its hard to go any where with him....i dont know what to do. I try ignoring it, but he still does it. Anyone have some good tips on how to solve this problem? I've got three, and every one of them does this at around that age. It keeps being like that until they're around 4 1/2, too. It's the hardest part of being a parent, in my opinion. I am pretty much stuck at home if I have a child between those ages. The only ways to help is to take a ziplock baggie full of his favorite kinds of non-messy snacks, like raisins, crackers,...

Do you ever look at someone and think "Wow, I really want to be friends with that person" (Or something like that)? If you have, what did you do from there? Yes, I have. All through school (I moved a lot) I did that and it always worked! I'd just start talking to them, asking them about themselves, and being nice to them and we'd end up best friends. But as an adult, it just doesn't work like that. I'm a stay at home mom and don't get out enough to spend time with someone long enough to become close friends, only casual...

Answer to:
I dyed my hair light yellow and i wanted to dye it brown...will it turn my hair red or any other color? It will tend to go greenish. To offset that go for a brown that's a bit redder than you want the final color to be. It will keep warmth in the hair. Going from light blonde to brown without adding warmth (red) causes greenish (ash) hues.

Answer to:
If I open a bottle of hair dye to do a test strand and close it can use it a month later? Don't mix up the whole bottle with the developer for the test strand. Just mix a dot of each on a glass saucer and do the test. Opening the bottles does not ruin the color. If you reclose them and store in a cool dark place they'll be fine. Once the developer is mixed in with the color you have to use it right away.

Answer to:
Are you afraid of being along when your kids move out? A little, because they are totally the center of our lives now. Will my husband and I still know each other? What will I do with my time? I know I want them to stay close and be around a lot, but as long as they do that I am looking forward to having freedom. Haven't had that since college days, and not really even then!

Answer to:
If you could do it over again what would you do differently about your wedding? I would have included my third best friend in the wedding party instead of just having 2 bridesmaids. She is now the only one of the three who is still close to me. My maid of honor is now too busy to have anything to do with me! Also, I wouldn't have hidden out in the bridal room of the church all day not knowing what was going on downstairs while waiting for the wedding to start....

Answer to:
Is there a role for grand parenting? Disclaimer: This is a not repeat question but merely replaces my earlier question: ' Effective parenting is certainly very important. What do you think of grand parenting then?' Oh, yes, grandparenting is so important! Having a close relationship with grandparents gives the kids a whole different set of people to love and be loved by. It allows kids to see the perspective of a different generation. It allows them to see why their parents are the way they are by seeing how they were raised.

Answer to:
How would you raise your children to be like you? Are you going to bring your child up any diffirently to the way your parents did? How do/will you discipline your child? I want my 3 kids to be like me, and it's hard, but necessary, to accept that they are not totally like me - they are their own persons. I want them to love animals, music, and reading for example, and make great grades in school like I did. I want them to enjoy the same things I do so we can do things together all their lives. They so far show little to no interest in music or reading,...

Answer to:
Would you like to bring up your children the way your parents brought you up, or otherwise ? (Hope you get my point ?) My parents did a great job! They raised me in a Christian home and I always felt loved and secure, although I was expected to always be good and do my best at everything I did. I was allowed to have many pets and try out many activities (band, music, horse shows, sign language etc.) I am trying to raise our children the same way I was raised in most ways. It is hard in some ways because I...

Why are moms so strict (no offense to moms) because my mom doesn't allow yu gi oh cards any more and that SUCKS!!! Your mom might be too strict in some areas, I don't know her. But not allowing Yu Gi Oh cards is because she loves you! Those are a doorway for evil to come into your heart. One sure wouldn't think so - they are just cards, after all. But there are true stories in which kids get into those and get all messed up inside because of demons. I know, it sounds crazy. But thank your...

A study was done recently asking if people that had children could go back and not have children, about 70% said they would not. If you have children, and could go back in time, would you have children again? Honest answers only please. I have three, and they are my biggest blessing but also the hardest thing I have ever done. If I could do it over again, I would definitely have them, but I would wait longer to have the first one ( I would wait until I was 27-28) then have the other two as soon as possible after that, so I could have had a chance to have some fun in life first, and then get it all over with within a few years...

We have a 10 year old blue healer,she has a greatly increased appetite,and thirst,but her tits are not swollen,and she has this slight shudder that lasts a short time,but it is deffinataly uncontrolable,could she be pregnant.thanks Well, if she is not spayed and has had contact with any male dogs who are not neutered, she could be pregnant, but it sounds like she could possibly have diabetes. Increased thirst and hunger, and urination, are signs of that. If she is overweight it's even more likely. It would have to be diagnosed by a vet but it can be controlled with a change in dog food, exercise, and sometimes...

Answer to:
Is it true that once you have given birth you forget the pain because you are so elated by your newborn baby? I could liken my 2 natural births somewhat to running a very very hard, intense race. While you are actually doing so, you are feeling very intense sensations that don't feel good, but if you are relaxing through breathing slowly, deeply etc. you can get through it, knowing that it's "pain with a purpose"; not pain that is because of an injury or something wrong. Like...

Answer to:
Did you have an epidural after childbirth and believe it was the cause of long term back pain? With my first baby I didn't know any better and got the epidural. It caused intense itching from the waist down for months afterward, starting about 3 months out. It also led to my c section. But later I educated myself about relaxed natural childbirth and had the next two babies totally naturally and it was so much better.

I'm torn between two gentlemen, what should I do? Which one is like your brother and best bud, the one you know you will always care about even when you're both 80 years old? Also, if you cry when something bad happens in his life, even small things, he's the one for you. Not always is it the one you have the most "chemistry" with is the best. That comes and goes. True love is what I described first.
