• Commented on Parenting styles. There are so many but which to choose?
  As a parent, you can only do the best you know at the time. The support system you have is very important. I am a single mom of 2 (a 7 year-old girl and a 4 year-old boy). They are...
• Commented on Straying Away From the Norm of the Nuclear Family
  This topic is something that interests me a lot as I am actually going through a separation myself right now. My children seem to be dealing with it fine. I know that when they do hear from their father, they...
• Commented on Spend Money Now..Lose Weight, Maybe?
  I like this topic. As I have stated in other responses to blogs, I used to work in an eating disorders clinic and it was one of the most heart-breaking things I have ever seen. These individuals with so much...
• Commented on Drug Addiction Hits Home
  Drug addiction is something very very close to me as well. My husband's brothers are both addicted to drugs and it kills me because they are nice guys when they are sober, but I can't trust them with my kids...
• Commented on 16 and Pregnant Revealed!- Assignment 3- Emily Stasel

• Commented on I will become this man
  There are a lot of products that suggest things that will/should happen if we buy them, but everyone should always be cautious of things. As a mom of 2, I am constantly checking labels and making sure what I am...
• Commented on Chapter 7: Memory
  I love this one! My husband is the perfect example of this. As a young teenager he was molested and after that his short-term memory was all but gone. Its like he can remember important things (birthdays, anniversaries, etc), but...
• Commented on Why is she so attractive? It's called Photoshop......
  I have witnessed this at its worst. I worked at an eating disorders clinic and a lot of the patients were ones that hated how they looked and wanted to be "prettier" or "skinnier." It honestly broke my heart to...
• Commented on Emotions and the Force that Drives Us
  I have to agree that I like my space, but in other cultures that is not necessarily the case. My Nutrition teacher told me that in Brazil (where she is from), people stand close to each other all the time,...
• Posted Sleep...how much is enough? to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  I know it says in our texts that we should get between 8 and 9 hours of sleep at night, but for me that is way too much. I have been getting roughly 6 hours of sleep at night for...
