Substance in Breast Milk Kills Cancer Cells (AOL Health)

Apr 22nd 2010 2:06PM Hey Simzee:

Where do get off saying you can only breastfeed at home or in public bathrooms? I breastfed my daughter on public buses, in medical offices and at work. So think first before you make statements like that. You can breastfeed wherever you feel like as long as you do it in a discreet way. And the reason to do it is because it is best for the baby, has all the nutrients your baby neesds and it's convenient and available no matter where you are and not to mention you money you save doing it. It's obvious you never breastfeed. Too much trouble for you. I find it more of a pain to wash, sterilize and fill tons of bottles and have to spend tons of money on formula every week. Get your facts straight before you make comments like that.

Day Care Workers Accused of Drugging Kids With Sleep Aids (ParentDish)

Dec 16th 2009 8:03PM Hey Evelyn Cleveland,

Did you stop to think that some parents put their children in daycare because they have to work? Where do you get off making this stupid statement that parents send their kids to daycare because they can't stand them? You must not have any kids or you're one of these parents who can't stand her own kids. I was a single mother, who had to work to support my kids, and had to by choice leave them in daycare, because I couldn't take them to work with me, but I loved and still love my children very much and I only worked from Mondy to Friday, no weekends or nights, because that time was for my children. So before you open you mouth to generalize about why parents send their kids to daycare, stop to think that not all parents are the same just as not all people who comment on here are very intelligent.

Driver Finds Toddler in Busy Intersection (ParentDish)

Aug 11th 2009 3:53PM I raised my two children by myself and I can honestly tell you that not all single moms are irresponsible as someone commented here. I had no one to help me because I lived in a state where I had no relatives or close friends and I worked full-time and my children never had an accident like this. So no, it doesn't happen to all mothers as someone here commented. Also, a 9 yrd old is not responsible for her younger sibling, she did not give birth to him; she' s a child herself that needs to be supervised. I'm so sick of people having lots of children so the older ones will take care of the younger ones and that way they can get out of their parental responsability. And it doesn't matter if she was in the home or not, she obviously wasn't supervising either one of her children. Child services should investigate is this has happened before and if so, then some type of recommendations should be made to avoid any future incidents or tragedies. Thank God the child was not injured because a responsible driver was not talking on her cell phone or otherwise so distracted that she was able to act accordingly. But this is not always the case and I'm sick of innocent children being found dead because a parent was too busy doing unimportant things, and not being responsible enough with their child.

12-Year-Old Bull Rider Dies After Being Thrown, Trampled (Fanhouse Backporch)

Jun 30th 2009 2:40AM To Tim and wijgt: All you both insane, letting your kids dodge cars for a thrill? Why not give them a gun with one bullet so they can take turns playing Russian Roullete? What kind of parents are you, putting your kids in that kind of danger? So they do it because they like it and if they starting liking taking drugs, you're going to let them too. Don't you care about your kids? Parents are supposed to protect their children and not let them do things that put their lives in danger, even if they like them. You both need some serious psychiatric help and some urgent parenting classes. I never heard of anything so appalling in my life.

Adolf Hitler Campbell Removed From Parents' Home (ParentDish)

Jan 15th 2009 12:49PM Some you say that since no abuse was committed, these children should not be removed from their home solely based on the choice of names they were given. But is abuse only physical. Abuse is anything done to a child that negatively affects that child. Don't you think having a name such as Adolph Hitler constitutes as abuse, knowing very well the consequences of this act? Would you name your child after a sexual organ or a bodily function? If these parents were loving, they sure have a strange way of showing it. You should choose a name that makes the child proud of who he is and proud of his parents. People are cruel and that includes children. I can't imagine this little boy's first day in pre-school or regular school. They'll have a field day with him. And after being harassed enough times, believe me, he'll start to live up to that name. So don't you think it's best to stop this future
enemy of the state from taking revenge on everyone and anyone who makes fun of his name? Who knows, maybe his parents will be his first victims. God bless this little child and help his parents realize their mistake.

BWI - Breastfeeding While Intoxicated (ParentDish)

Jan 11th 2009 12:20AM I can't believe the things I'm reading here. I breastfed my daughter for 3-1/2 years and I breastfed her plenty of times in public, on the bus, at the park, at restaurants. I covered myself and her, but not because I was ashamed of it, I didn't so idiots like the ones on this forum didn't stared at me and my child in an offended way. But I didn't get offended to see a woman expose her breast to feed her child in public. All of you who are offended by a naked breast, I bet you're not offended when you see them of TV or almost see them at the beach, with those tiny swimsuits they make now. Get over it, people, breasts were made for breastfeeding, not just to satisfy men's desires. You see breasts all the time and don't get offended, why get offended when they are used to feed babies. If it bothers you, then don't look, you have that choice.

Luv Coach Q&A: I am pregnant! (Blackvoices Main)

Oct 2nd 2008 8:23PM I HAD MY SON BY MYSELF BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS A COWARD AND CHOSE TO RUN INSTEAD OF ACCEPT HIS RESPONSABILITY. I COULD'VE ABORTED, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN ABORTION, I WASN'T RAISED THAT WAY, BUT IT WAS MY DECISION TO HAVE THAT BABY, AND NOW THAT BABY JUST MADE ME A GRANDMA AND I AM VERY HAPPY. I DON'T REGRET HAVING MY SON AND IT WASN'T EASY RAISING HIM A ALONE BUT HE'S A GOOD MAN, A GOOD SON, A GOOD HUSBAND AND I KNOW HE'LL BE A GREAT FATHER. I DID GOOD AND I DIDN'T ALONE WITH GOD'S HELP. WHAT DID I LOSE, BUT I SURE GAINED A LOT; HIS FATHER KNOWS HIM NOW BUT NOT LIKE I KNOW HIM. IF MY DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT, I WOULDN'T JUDGE, I WOULD HELP HER AND I KNOW SHE WON'T GET AN ABORTION, NOT BECAUSE I TELL HER NOT TOO, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS IT'S MURDER. YOU CAN SAY, WHY MESS YOUR LIFE UP AND FORGET YOUR EDUCATION, WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHT THAT CHILD HAS TO BE ALLOWED TO LIVE; ONLY GOD CAN GIVE LIFE AND ONLY HE CAN TAKE IT. PERIOD.

Pink poodle raises breast cancer awareness, gets woman in trouble (ParentDish)

Mar 14th 2008 8:29PM I'M A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR AND I LOVE WEARING PINK. BUT I WOULDN'T DYE MY LOVE BIRDS OR MY RABBIT PINK TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE CAUSE. IT'S RIDICULOUS, JUST BECAUSE IT'S HER DOG, DOESN'T MEAN, SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS WITH IT. THE DOG DESERVES SOME RESPECT TOO. IF GOD WANTED THE DOG PINK, HE WOULD'VE MADE HIM PINK. IT'S JUST LIKE SAYING, THE CHILD IS MINE, I CAN TREAT HIM/HER LIKE I WANT. AN ANIMAL CANNOT SPEAK OR DEFEND ITSELF, BUT IT HAS RIGHTS TOO. PEOPLE THINK DOGS AND CHILDREN ARE THEIR POSSESIONS TO USE AS THEY SEE FIT. SHE CAN RAISE AWARENESS BY WEARING A PINK RIBBON OR A PINK SHIRT OR A PINK BRACELET LIKE SO MANY OTHER OF US DO. SO WHY DOESN'T SHE DIE HER OWN HER, IF THE CAUSE MEANS SO MUCH TO HER. LAWS ARE MADE FOR A REASON, TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AND THOSE OF OTHERS, INCLUDING ANIMALS.

Celebrity Babies on Film: Cruz Beckham (AOL Video Blog)

Feb 19th 2008 10:31PM THE PROBLEM WITH SOME PEOPLE HERE IS THEY HAVE BITTER LIVES AND CAN'T HANDLE SEEING OTHER PEOPLE ENJOYING THEMSELVES. HEY, I DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT CHILDHOOD BUT I MADE SURE MY KIDS ENJOYED THEIR CHILDHOODS. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT A MOTHER AND FATHER SHARING THEIR KIDS WITH OTHERS, THEN SHUT UP. AND DO US A FAVOR, DON'T EVER HAVE KIDS, BECAUSE YOU WILL CERTAINLY RAISE THEM TO BE AS NUEROTIC OR MORE THAN YOU ARE. SPARE US THE PAIN PLEASE. I LOVE KIDS AND AM GLAD TO SEE PARENTS WHO LOVE THEIRS, WHICH IS HAPPENING LESS AND LESS IN OUR WORLD TODAY. GOD BLESS ALL CHILDREN, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE OR WHO THEIR PARENTS ARE. THEY'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED AND LOVED.

Boy Hires Hitman to Kill Parents After Losing His PlayStation Priviledges (Switched)

Feb 6th 2008 5:43PM AS A PARENT MYSELF, YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE. YOU SHOULD SHOW YOUR KIDS YOU LOVE THEM BUT YOU CAN'T LET THEM WALK ALL OVER YOU AND YOU DEFINITELY CAN'T LET THEM DISRESPECT YOU. I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO WAS VERY REBELLIOUS AND ALWAYS TALKED BACK TO ME AND DID AS SHE WISHED AND DIDN'T FOLLOW MY RULES, BUT THE DAY SHE STARTED BREAKING THINGS IN MY HOUSE AND TRIED TO HIT ME, THAT WAS IT. I CALLED THE COPS ON HER AND LOCKED HER OUT OF THE HOUSE. AND YOU KNOW, NOW WE HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP AND SHE REALIZES SHE WAS WRONG. IT HURT ME TO DO THAT TO MY DAUGHTER BUT I HAD TO BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T, SHE WOULDN'T BEAT ME UP NEXT TIME AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. SO LOVE YOUR CHILDREN BUT DISCIPLINE THEM WHEN THEY NEED IT, THEY MIGHT HATE AT THE MOMENT BUT IN THE LONG RUN THEY'LL APPRECIATE IT AND REALIZE YOU DID IT FOR THEIR OWN GOOD SO THEY KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE. BEING A GOOD PARENT ISN'T EASY, NO BOOK CAN SHOW HOW TO DO IT RIGHT; IT'S TRIAL AND ERROR, BUT IF YOU DO IT WITH LOVE AND ASK FOR GOD'S GUIDANCE, IT DOES WORK.
