    what weird idiosyncrasies do you have?

    I can't relax. Pretty much EVER. I am like the Tasmanian devil running around all the time. At work I freak people out because I move like everything is an emergency (started as a weight loss technique and stuck). There are about 4 of us at the office that everyone watches out for so no coffee...

    Do you ever argue with yourself in your head? I have been doing this all day today...?

    Also, how do I determine who wins? for example: I thought something was in a certain place, and then I thought no, it probably isn't and then when I discovered it was I was like "I told you so" to myself...

    Does your child whine? How old are they?

    My son is almost 3 and when he doesn't get his way he will whine "mommeee! I want it!!!!" and repeat and repeat until I have to send him to his room. BQ~ when does it end, or should it already be over at his age? What can I do to fix the constant whine?

    Did you watch those pre-teen shows growing up ("Dawsons Creek", "All That", or...

    ...whatever you had)...? and can you stand them now? The current versions: Hannah Montana, iCarly, whatever else~ I have a 2 year old boy... I will admittedly say I have finished an iCarly episode to see the end (when my 9 year old niece was over). But I find them killing my brain cells as I watch.

    How many of you parents ate the placenta? How did you cook it?

    I don't even remember seeing a placenta. I wonder if I even had one. I'm just going along with the food theme here. I'm not trying to make anyone toss their cookies.

    Parents: have you ever gagged when you were changing your kids diaper?

    My son has had the worst smelling poop in the world. It smells like something crawled in his diaper and died. Well this morning I totally gagged to the point of throwing up. Please tell me someone else has done this before. btw- he is and sometimes uses the potty to poop. But I still have to...

    Parents: who are you in the "What Would You Do" television show (9 pm Fridays~ next!!!)?

    I am a little bit of the loud mouth who steps in. I would want someone to do the same for me. At the same time I understand the people (in some situations) who mind their own business and walk away.

    Parents: I need a hobby to enjoy with my toddler. Should we join the Tea Party or...

    ...a kiddie gym? Or do you have some other fun suggestions.

    The apples on the tree are not ripe, but the toddler has picked one off anyway and...

    ...wants to eat it...? What do you do? And what if you let him take a bite (hoping it would make him think it was gross), and he insists that it is "yummy" and continues to eat it? Can unripe fruit harm a child? This may explain the whining (tummy ache) he ate about half of it. It was Granny...

    Do you think you could get by without a tv /internet?

    Comcast cannot come to my new place until next Wednesday. Last night was the first night we were there and I have no internet and no cable. I broke down and called them and offered them more money to come and do it now, LOL- they said no. We played with blocks, and with puzzles. It was not...

    Parents who use time outs as discipline: how often do you put your child in time out?

    I think at first I was overdoing it (he would be in time out about 6 times a day) but now I may be warning him too much without any action behind it (I am telling him he will get a time out, but he hasn't had one in weeks). Is there a happy medium I should be following? Also, what warrants a...

    Processed food survey for parents: I am sure we are all trying to steer clear...

    ...of them, but...? is there anything that you or your child absolutely loves, that you will buy even though it is processed and slowly killing you (if you believe the media)? I LOVE fried bologna sandwiches! And I make my son eat them because I will be darned if a kid of mine does not love...

    What have you done lately that you would not include in your parenting

    handbook for newbies? My son is 2 and just now has become a little bit scared of the dark. Last night he told me "I go in mommy room" as he was walking by (if he goes in there he is up to no good btw). So I said "okay, but it's dark in there". He stopped dead in his tracks and went the other...

    How many times in your life have you been standing around minding your own business...?

    and had the police (or anyone) barge in with their guns drawn? I feel like this has happened to me an insanely high number of times in my life (3). And no, I am not a drug dealer, nor do I have bad friends, these all occurred in public and in the daytime. One time the guy they were pointing...

    What are you supposed to do when your child is old enough to have an opinion about...?

    what they want to eat, but not old enough to understand the concept of "we cannot have that tonight". For instance my son will run over to me and say "mommy dinner pizza" as I am cooking tacos. And I will say "no we are having tacos tonight" and he will say "NO, no tacos! Dinner pizza mommy...

    Have your parents ever asked you for help with something (electronics perhaps)...?

    that is pretty much common knowledge these days? My mother needed help the other day entering numbers into her cell phone. She knows how to do it, but she goes VERY slow, so it was easier for me to do it for her. She also needs me to Google things and give her the answer (she will google and...
