How does having friends of the opposite sex online or offline equate to cheating on your spouse?

It sounded from her other post that the child was eating too much peanut butter and she told her to stop eating it or she'd get fat. Also, threats work just fine for some kids. Not sure what generation you come from but I was a 70's baby and believe my parents threats worked just fine to curb my behavior. I didn't know a…

THANK YOU! This is exactly how I feel.

I see nothing wrong with saying word for word "do not eat this or you will get fat" when you see your child overeating as it sounds like this mom did.

So if you are not here to lose weight/maintain weight/build muscle or in some otherway improve your body, why are you on a fitness forum?

Whether I have children or not or what my mother did or did not say to me as a child has nothing to do with political correctness being stupid. We are all on a fitness web site because we are trying to lose weight or maintain our weight or build muscle. Basically there is not a single person here who wants to be fat. So…

Aren't we all on this fitness website to try and avoid becomming fat? Or to stop being fat?

I don't really see anything wrong with telling a child not to overeat. Childhood obesity is a major problem in this country. This mom is doing what she needs to do to try and prevent her child from overeating. Would it have been any different if she said "don't eat that because you will get overweight" or "don't eat that…

Wow. I feel for the OP. I understand promoting a healthy lifestyle etc. but there is nothing wrong with encouraging the child to care about his/her personal appearance also. Since when is it a crime to care how you look? It’s a good thing to care how you look. Caring how you look does not always equal an eating disorder!…

Hansi getting into the adult beverage cabinet Grapes being sassy I guess I don't have any pics of Iggy right now. I'll have to find one.

Ivy (dark brown) and Hansi (the blondie) on my shoulder. Grapes is in my lap. Iggy was not in this picture.

Exactly.

I train ferrets. I know that's kind of an odd thing to be good at, but I am really, really good with them.

Very awesome. :)

I know a lot of gun owners. I am totally pro gun rights. I believe everyone who passes a background check should be allowed a handgun for protection or a rifle for hunting or whatever. However some of these people, most of them, sadly, are paranoid gun crazies whose lives revolve around being afraid that the government is…

Unless there is something fundamentally offensive about the tattoo in question, I see no reason why it needs to be covered up. It doesn't have anything to do with how well the person does their job...

I know, right? You are not a nerd just because you enjoy some of the most popular movie and book franchises ever. There is nothing "nerdy" about Star Wars, Disney, LoTR, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games etc. These things are massively popular. Even my mom has read the Hunger Games. Harry Potter has his own theme park down in…

I totally agree with you. I wouldn't put up with it and neither would my husband.

The *****cat dolls? Are they still together? The Pipettes in the UK...

I agree with this. I prefer honesty from my spouse. If I ask him a question about my weight, I want and expect an honest answer. As for "she knows it", honestly you don't know that. Some women can be in serious denial. I was. I wish my husband had told me I was putting weight on a few months ago. I could have nipped this…

Small dogs deserve homes too? Also, frequently apartments have weight limits on what size dog you can have. Small cars get better gas mileage and are all around better for the environment so I fail to see how this is somehow a bad thing. Salads are a healthier choice. So it’s not manly to care about your health? Men’s…

When I met my now husband, I was a model. Over the years I have gained and lost weight but recently, I skyrocked from 120 to 160 in 3 months due to some medication. My husband could care less what I look like. He didn't marry me to be with a skinny chick. He married me because we have fun together and generally make each…

The Ivy in Ivyshuman is my beautiful 1 one year old ferret, Ivy Isabella. I have 4 ferrets and I also train, groom and do a rescue for them. On 9/22 I'm getting a tattoo of Ivy on my back. They are my world. I have been to Disneyworld 39 times. I'm addicted to reality tv like Pawn Stars, Oddities and American Pickers. I…

No and I wouldn't put up with it if he did. Nor has it ever occurred to me to check his email or phone or whatever. Spying on your spouse is just weird.

This, I'd explain to him is something you are doing for your health. Show him hard facts and figures regarding health problems and obesity, show him your BMI etc. Also ask him would he prefer you to be healthy or unhealthy? Ask him if he'd like to join you in getting healthier so you can do more things together. Ask him…

Did you actually read my response where I explained this? I don't eat Olive Garden every night. I have actually only been to an Olive Garden once in my life.
