At what age will you let your child drink at holidays or the occasional dinner?
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011Will you wait until they’re 21?
Or let them drink earlier?
Do you think supervised drinking at a “young” age will lead to irresponsible party drinking or alcoholism later? Or the reverse?
My parents would serve me wine at holiday gatherings starting when I was 15 and it was never a big deal growing up; my husband’s family was like this too, granted this was in London 25 years ago, but still, it seems here in the US everyone is so uptight about drinking.
We’ve raised our daughter the same way (she’s just turned 17), a glass of wine or a beer on occasion, like when we go out, or a cocktail at family gatherings. The other day the mother of one of her friends called to chastise us and gave us a parenting lesson. Now I wonder if we’re being irresponsible or naive, unintentionally giving her permission to go out and get shitfaced? (I know she drinks outside of home, and I’m fine with that. It’s part of being a teenager… or am I wrong to think that, too?)
What are other parents’ views?
Newborn kitten won’t drink mother’s milk?
Sunday, August 28th, 2011My cat gave birth a few hours ago. There is only one kitten. I’m not surprised because the mother is young, but what I am wondering is why the kitten won’t drink from it’s mother. I’ve tried redirecting the newborn to multiple nipples but he is still uninterested and will not feed. Is this normal? It’s really worrying me.
If i drink mother how long till it kicks in?
Sunday, August 28th, 2011is it normal for a newborn puppy to cry a lot and not be able to drink milk from mother?
Friday, August 26th, 2011My Mother in law told me to drink gasoline- I’m pregnant!?
Thursday, August 25th, 2011My Mother in law told me to drink gasoline- I’m pregnant!?
Thursday, August 25th, 2011My mother in law told me that drinking gasoline while
preganant can help induce labor and that a glass of gasoline a
day can help keep my and my baby healthy while also keeping
my weight down. I also heard that it’s good for the skin and
nails. Like prenatal vitamins.
Am I the only one who thinks its ironic that a mother can legally drink while pregnant BUT…
Sunday, August 21st, 2011My mother is coming over for a visit later this evening; should I drink or take my anxiety meds?
Friday, August 19th, 2011She drives me batty. If you knew her you’d understand. I need something to calm my nervous twitches.
Xanax might knock me completely out, which could be a good thing-I’ll never even know she was here.
but if drink, I can laugh the entire time she criticizes my housekeeping, my child rearing, my religion, my clothes, my choice of friends, or how my cat makes her sneeze.
My new puppy won’t drink water. He is still with mother, and will eat food, but won’t drink water. Help please
Monday, August 15th, 2011My new puppy is 5 1/2 weeks old, and is currently being wiened from the mother. He is a full blood Chihuahua. He will not drink water. We’ve given it to him in multiple forms and dishes, but he will not drink water. He keeps going back to the mother to nurse, but she isn’t really letting him anymore, I’m worried that he might get dehydrated if he doesn’t drink something soon.
Any real suggestions would be greatly appriciated!!! Thank you!

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011Do you like women who… drink, smoke, curse?
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011Men do you find it attractive when women do things such as drink, smoke, and curse?
My whole life my dad brought me up to never ever curse, drink, or smoke. Or do other things like sleep around, I was always brought up to be really femine and respectful, and I wouldn’t say “keep my mouth shut” but it was more like a respect your elders, and not sound obnoxious.
Don’t get me wrong I am highly opinionated and went through my faze in my teens where I did all the bad things I could lol. I am no angel but I just find it so trashy when women smoke and curse I think it makes them seem unrefined and not very pretty. I like to exude a somewhat tough exterior but I don’t do it by acting like a grungy dude.
My boyfriends friends date these girls who are so trailer parkish, I mean looking at them I know if any of them ever started something with me I could kick their butts but I don’t make it a point to intimidate them or try to make them feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, I am wondering do his friends really find these skeezy girls attractive cursing wile smoking a cigarette joking about perverted things along with them being all loud? I think its repulsive and I just think if they had my dad he would slap them upside their nasty heads lol.
There are plenty of people who were raised like me, I mean it was on the strict side and my mom and dad made a million mistakes, but honestly I feel like I demonstrate more inner beauty by being just old fashioned lady like. I mean one day I am going to be a mother to a little child and so will they (and some already have kids.)
I know I don’t want my future daughter acting like this. I don’t think it makes them seem tough either, it only makes them seem MORE insecure, as if they are trying to hide that really they are frightened to act themselves.
I choose not to drink or smoke because one alcoholism runs in my family, I cannot be productive when I smoke weed, and cigarettes are just nasty and personally I like fresh breath and white teeth.
I am only 21 and even when I was a younger rebel I NEVER acted trashy. I have only ever been with one guy and will someday hopefully marry him. However, that doesn’t mean I do not wonder what other guys think.
I don’t think tattoo’s are trashy I do think they tend to make women look older once they hit 30+. But they look cute on younger girls too bad they age right lol. I will personally never get one simply because I change my mind twice a day lol.
I dunno guys what do you think? Do you perfer women who do everything you do or do you like classy girls who keep their wild side hidden?
Fried kitten- does a little girls start out drinking and cursing and acting trashy??? those are learned traits people adapt because other people are doing them.
furthermore I forget who said I was stuck up, I am far from it and all through out highschool befriended people everyone else was cruel to. I care about other peoples emotions which is why I choose to carry myself the way I do. There is no reason to act damaged and untamed and represent yourself poorly because you feel it defines who you are.
I can see how this question could make me seem “stuck up.” But in reality I have never been called that.

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011Okay, I drink almost everyday…?
Monday, August 8th, 2011Does this make me an alcoholic? I drink either after I get out of class, or after I get off work around 10 or so… I don’t drink to get drunk, obviously, I can type and spell correctly. So what the hell am I? Alcoholism is in my genes on both sides of my family, so what am I going to do? Not drink? Nah. I can go days and weeks without drinking, but I can’t go months. I have to have something to do when I’m bored… So what does this make me? The Pre-sequel to my father and mother combined?
