I only vacuum if 1) company is coming or 2) there's some serious spillage I need to attend to. Other than that I don't so much worry about it.

Liza and I painted our bathroom last year together -- she was so cute in one of my old tshirts and a bandana over her hair and So proud of 'her wall' -- she did a great job!

Fortunately, in my country, parents are free to decide for themselves.

Same here; I found it made my kids much less picky once mealtime actually came around.

It's not a man's world anylonger sweetie...get used to it....go tell Nancy Pelosi, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Condaleeza Rice (it's killing me but I'm trying to be bipartisan here), Martha Coxley (Attorney General of MA) that they are where they are b/c men "gave" them an inch.... I think not.
