| 21 | I am a Supervisor in a call center and sometimes, people need to be chastised. Usually, complimenting on appropriate behavior is enough but we have some people who do not change their negative behavior (like loudly berating their peers) unless I chastise them. I prefer complimenting people because it brings positive energy to their work and to the workplace environment. | Which makes you feel better - successfully chastising or duly complimenting someone? |
| 22 | My mark on this world is first and foremost, my kids. They're awesome! They have very kind hearts and Lord knows the world needs more of them! They are also both boys who help with the housework! Imagine that?? My smaller marks are simply the kind things that I do on a daily basis to boost someone else's spirit. Be it a much needed compliment to a weary looking clerk in a store or just letting someone slip into traffic.. I truly believe those little acts of kindness create a ripple effect that benefits not only the next person these people come in contact with, but my own soul. | Have you placed your mark on this world? |
| 23 | That's because hickeys eventually fade!   | Have you placed your mark on this world? |
| 24 | I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I really didn't mean to. When I was in school the kids that everyone thought were sexy always had hickeys. I was just being silly with your user name. I guess hickeys are not that popular anymore. Now I've totally dated myself! | Have you placed your mark on this world? |
| 25 | It's BETTER than incest.....no three eyed kids!  | Have you placed your mark on this world? |
| 26 | I would do a combination of pulling back and letting go. I would pull her back from the t.v. because that's a waste of her time anyway. I would let her enjoy her friends, spend time with her instead of having her watch t.v. and on weekends, I would let her go to Grandmas and occasionally, we would BOTH spend time at Grandma's because sometimes, moms need their moms and it would be a wonderful generational experience for all of us! AND once she is a teenager, she can spend all the time she wants at Grandma's house! Ha Ha Ha  | Would it be easier to pull her back or let go? |
| 27 | I was AWFUL as a teenager! I put my parents through hell. I used to take off on a Thursday and come back on a Sunday and if they asked me where I was I told them it was none of their business, I had my rights.. blah, blah, blah.. I'm amazed even now that they let me live! I improved with age too but boy did they have to go through years of stinky cheese before I mellowed! | Would it be easier to pull her back or let go? |

| 29 | Hi Joalis, I'm sorry you're having problems figuring out your dilemma with your daughter. It's hard sometimes to take the stand you need to take because it will upset the applecart so to speak. It sounds like the t.v. is a main fixture in your household and without support from your husband you're not likely to change that. What you can change is how you react to it and how you interact with your daughter. You obviously care or you wouldn't even ask about it. Pay attention to what she has to say when she talks to you. Does she choose the books you read to her? Does she read to you? What are her interests? Does she like to draw? Paint? Run? Read? There are so many things you can do with her! Go for a hike. Write and illustrate a story together. Incorporate what she's learning in school into what you do together. Perform Science experiments, create a papier mache masterpiece!
Let her enjoy her friends and grandma because they are important too and they will also be part of her formative years. But you and your husband will have the most opportunities to influence her and teach her. You have to build a bond with her so that she knows she will always be able to go to you. I know it seems overwhelming but once you begin you'll be amazed at how much fun you'll have with her! Good luck to you. | Would it be easier to pull her back or let go? |
| 30 | I don't think anyone is "hopelessly" flawed unless they want to be. Everyone has some flaw or another. Big or small, people always see something in themselves they want to change. Those that think they don't well... that may be their flaw. People like me who write stuff like this, that's our flaw. | Are you hopelessly flawed? |
