splash of milk or half-and-half and a spoonful of bisquick (for about 6 eggs usually for family-sized side). Same for omelette

I pay $404 a WEEK for two kids in preschool (3 and 5 - the 5 year old starting 'real school' in August). This is a deal for me as when they were smaller it was higher. It has been, for years now, a bill higher than my mortgage. I've checked and for the oldest it will be $70 a week for pick-up...

As an animal lover, foster home for the local Humane Society, a vegetarian (b/c of humane issues), etc...I agree with you entirely. It is an ugly side of life...handling semi-domesticated animals that no one wants. Just because a human thinks a type of euthenasia is more "humane" (ironic...

I don't know if this was an attempt at a 'tough-love' sort of post, but I have rarely read something so cruel. She said that she loves him. She's had her world blown apart. This has nothing to do with decisions or future actions or her immenent suffering/demise. It's an emotion. OP, I...

Sure...but only the cats (and there are at least a dozen if not more that roam the neighborhood) crap in my flowerbeds and raised beds. Haven't come across a dead mouse yet. And it might be a slim chance that any of us could get sick, but why should there be ANY chance due to lack of...

Anyone who thinks that its a-ok that their cats poop in other people's gardens/flowerbeds because they bury it has obviously no idea about toxoplasmosis. I had to completely give up my raised beds and flower beds because of the neighbor's outside cats (outside because "who wants a pet that...

Loved reading this!

I am in love with my partner with all of my heart and soul. I will hug him tighter tonight because of what you have written. I will tell him again that he means the world to me because of what I have read here. I hope it brings you peaceful thoughts to know how inspiring you are in what you...

:thumbsup2

Yes, the 'leash or coffin' post really made me :sick:. I truly am done here. I am normally a lurker and only come out when I feel the need to. That feeling is gone. :upsidedow

That would be none of the above. I have been that parent. More than a few times. I will likely see you, internally roll my eyes (since physically doing so would take my eyes off of my own kids) and then move on. I will be busy attending to my unleashed children. And I'm sure that you...

I'm truly awed by the venom. I expressed my views and truly, I respect everyone's right to make any parental choice as they see fit as long as its in the confines of general morality and the law. Just like this thread is swimming in judgment (on both sides - and I am including myself), there...

Jenvenza- No, not kidding. Safety is the reason that I do not take my kids to places where they would be endangered. There's not just one choice here (leash or no leash). The last resort for me is that I do not put my kids in dangerous environments where I cannot handle them without...

Those who are comfortable with their decisions are the ones disregarding my posts and moving on with their lives without a second thought. Without sarcasm.

Disney Doll I truly don't have the time, energy or inclination to care about how anyone interprets my "tone". Those who are defensive will be defensive. Those who don't give a flip will continue to not give a flip. Sarcasm remains one of the laziest forms of dissent. We are all entitled...

I'm a single mom of kids who are probably about the same age as yours. I have done this repeatedly. Disney World (several times) after Wishes on Main Street USA, pro sports events when they let out, etc. It can be difficult. If I couldn't handle it without a harness we wouldn't go. Safety...

I do think that when a parent loses a young child that it is the parent's/s' fault. You either keep a kid close to you or you don't take them to places where you cannot manage them. I never said my way is the only correct way. But it certainly is the only correct way in my opinion based on...

The same thing can be achieved with an attentive parent who prioritizes teaching responsible behavior and then follows through (even if it means leaving the park, etc). Deargrandgodchild might have a different opinion when she is old enough for independent thought. Or maybe she won't.

Trying to get past the sarcasm here.... You are the only one to use the word "perfect". It takes work. Hard work because of the LACK of perfection.

Horrible. I am a single mom of a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old. My eldest is a runner. I am no saint. But I would never put a harness on her. I am her mother. She WILL (and does usually) mind me because I mean business. I do not have the time or energy for a harness or for nagging for...
