Am having many a sleepless night, thinking about this.Shobanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226266440155745217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-9636911149058436862008-09-30T21:42:00.000+05:302008-09-30T21:42:00.000+05:30its all about mommy (and daddy) instincts - there ...its all about mommy (and daddy) instincts - there is something about it for sure. if you don't feel okay about something somewhere, there usually *is* cause for concern. this is what i have learnt.Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-17497596530291858432008-09-30T15:44:00.000+05:302008-09-30T15:44:00.000+05:30arundathi welcome here- neat blog you haveitchy- i...arundathi welcome here- neat blog you have<BR/><BR/>itchy- i am often lost for words<BR/><BR/>minka- again a question of faith <BR/><BR/>i wonder how in the earlier days children were left about with peons servnats and no probs - maybe they were not highlighted<BR/>or maybe there were too many kids to give so much attention and<BR/><BR/>they possibly just looked out for each otherArtnavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060564468230843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-54159024792172396302008-09-30T12:46:00.000+05:302008-09-30T12:46:00.000+05:30Art, I agree with you .

Most times I consider myself an overcautious mother who's going to put a spanner in the works because of my paranoia. But then again ... maybe not . Hope we find the answers - the right ones at the right time.Minkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376028748402286108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-70709140853685618582008-09-30T12:25:00.000+05:302008-09-30T12:25:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Itchingtowritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763940951418027045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-76285657215522218102008-09-30T12:24:00.000+05:302008-09-30T12:24:00.000+05:30"And kids think their mothers have all the answers..."And kids think their mothers have all the answers."<BR/><BR/>BUt they do? don't they?Itchingtowritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763940951418027045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-55261182539627923662008-09-30T11:25:00.000+05:302008-09-30T11:25:00.000+05:30i thought only in US people are so scared which on...i thought only in US people are so scared which one has to be. Schools esp public schools are horrible in USA. They teach sex education in 3 or 4 th grade and Obama who has no culture wants to introduce sex ed in KG. Many teachers are bad in USA. Hence most of us put only in private schools supposed to be kids.
