Too Much Weight Gain in Pregnancy Leads to Heavy Babies {ParentDish}
Aug 6th 2010 11:44AM I completely disagree....I am a small woman and gained 54 pounds when I was pregnant. Lost it all...it took a while but I did it. My daughter is very thin, she now is 12 years old and has started to fill out THANK GOD! She is putting some weight on. She is tall and thin. This is nonsense, along with Mcdonalds making kids fat....I come form an Italian home and to be quite honest my sister is extremely fat while I am skinny and we never ate anywhere but home! The over wieight issues of the children of today are their parents not monitoring their television and the computer. They don't play outside and it's sad that they don't know how to play the basic games that we all played. My daughter does because believe or not I take her to the park! Stop blaming everything else and be parents...stop allowing people to parent for you!
Mother Mistaken for the Nanny of Her Mixed-Race Daughter {ParentDish}
Jul 23rd 2010 1:56PM I get that too...I am Italian and not very dark but compared to my daughter I am very very dark. I have dark hair Olive skin and green eyes and I am very petite. My daughter is Blonde Blue eyed and tall. Her father is German Irish and 6ft. 2. I have always been the babysitter or the nanny....but what bothers me the most is that I can see similiarities between her and I and no one else does...Oh she's all her father!!!!....SHE IS NOT! She has my smile, my nose even the shape of her eyes. This also bothers my daughter as she wants to resemble me, regardless that her beauty surpasses mine but miles!!!! So we keep our hair the same length so at least we can say we have the same style hair. I know as an adult I shouldn't be so sensitive but I can't help feeling hurt sometimes...people can be so insensitive!
10 ways to negotiate lower rent {WalletPop}
Jun 17th 2010 4:49PM None of these tactics would work with me. I am a Property Manager and have had many tenants try and get reductions. I have told tenants to leave if they can find a better deal and manager. The only one that is worthy is paying upfront but I usually ask for the whole year. These articles make me laugh. It's funny how people just assume a landlord is rich or can afford to give low rents when they pay thousands in insurance, Property tax, water...etc. We do not overcharge and we do keep rents the same when renewal comes but it isn't forever. Not all owners have money to burn and their income are the rents they receive each month. The building should be able to run on its own and that means by the rent they collect.
How to Tell if Your Child Is Gifted {ParentDish}
May 3rd 2010 11:48AM I do have a gifted child and I do not treat her any differently. She was put into a progressive class beginning in kindergarten and continues now, through middle school. Yes she is very intellectual and mature beyond her years but she still is a child. Noticably as well. She still does ridiculous things and you can ask her why and you get the same answer you would from any child "I don't know". Granted as far is school is concerned I have little to worry about because I know she will get that A or her assignment will be completed on time. But I do have to worry about how much effort she actually puts into it. She can get an A with out trying. That terrifies me because it appears as if she is untouchable. So for an 11 year old that is not a good quality. I love having an intelligent mature child but a lot of other problems come along with it.

'Modern Family's' Cameron and Mitchell: TV's Best Couple {PopEater}
Apr 9th 2010 9:51AM Have you watched the show? Do you know many gay men? I know many and in fact the are not stereotypical. There are gay men just like Cam and Mitchell. Also I know gay man that are so flamboyant they act more like a woman than me. Watch the show before you judge. This show is hysterical and honestly, as funny as these two are they are the most functional couple on the show!

'Lost' - 'Recon' Recap {AOL TV}
Mar 17th 2010 12:45PM If Charles Widmore is in with Locke/MIB than why would he be putting up Pylons to keep him out? I don't think Charles Widmore is the bad guy here. Remember when he bought the manifest and Log to the Black Rock. He is in this for the island and I think Jacob knows that. He knew he was coming. he mentioned it to Hurley. I think it is just a substitute to help keep the MIB in check.
