id have to say that i have always seen things differently! i had to grow up when i was 6 and help my dad take care of my younger two brothers when my mother left us. I had to be an adult early in life. But i think the biggest thing i saw a difference in was when i had my daughter. You never really know how life is or how hard things are until you have to support somebody other then yourself!

I grew up when i decided to leave my ex a few years ago! I realised he had screwed me over, i was in debt with a loan id gotten for him, left paying his mobile phone bills and Lost the house we lived in. I swore never to be so stupid again! I have always had an `old head` but possibly more so now.

While age does impact how you feel I think it has more to do with an experience ~ when my mom died everything changed and when my sister died in April it changed all over again. And Friday I went through another change when I discovered my other sisters cancer came back, my age had nothing to do with it. Life constantly changes us, as we get older I think maturity molds us too and the age of maturity varies for everyone ~ if I had to pick an age that stands out above the rest I`d say when you reach each new decade, how I viewed things in my 20`s was differnt when I turned 30 and when I turned 40 it was very differnt then how I viewed things in my 30`s. When it comes to experience it is when you realize that things CAN happen to you. When you loose something you realize you didnt know how important it was til it is gone.

I think it is ever changing and constant. I have to say however the BIGGEST change I have seen though is after having a child....I see things VERY differently now.

I started looking at things diff after going to jail for 14 days! LOL but I guess I can say after about 24 for me I started becoming more mature.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
