I'm a step-mother of a 9 year old girl and 8 year old boy. There father got custody of his children bc their mother spent some time incarcerated. We've had them for almost 4 years. There mother has a 7 month old now, and I know the kids think constantly about their little brother. There mother has gotten better in ways about getting them when she is suppossed to but not when it come interms of her drinking which it states in the decree for her not to consume alcohol. She's very mental absusive towards the kids and very verbal absuive towards myself and their father. We did get children services involved 2 years ago bc she was having intercourse in front of them and they were acting out well she didn't comply with it and we did so they dropped us.
She has bi-polar (which is fime with proper medication - I'm depressed, but I take what I need to and see my doctor if anything changes. She is very manipualtive, sneeky, you don't know if she is telling the truth or lies. She's just a very ackward person and likes to start trouble with anyone.
When their mother drinks she gets drunk especially when she's on a certain anti-anxiety pill.
Their mother likes to blame us for every action her kids do over there... she thinks we don't know how to raise them. I think they just don't mind her because of the way she is.
The kids at our house are not perfect. The boy which is ADHD did 2nd grade again. Which was our fault considering to her but he has learnig disablities. He's a little angel compared to his sister. He does not like to get in trouble so he just listens to us and follows directions here. He has his days but who doesn't. He was mad at his mom for the longest time bc of what she did to him. When she had custody she would just drop in him (3 1/2 at the time) and say here keep him. And wouldn't pick him up for days. So we got custody of him first.
The girl which witnessed and experienced things that a little girl shouldn't.... misses her mother darely and that's why she acting out. Not applying herself in school. Always making excuses up like her mother does. And today for instant when we were trying to dicipline her for her grades in class.... starting pulling her and scratching her face.
I asked her who does that? And she says her mother does when she fights with her boyfriend. It was very disturbing to see it happened.
My biggest fear is and I know this sounds very selfish. I raised these kids for 3 1/2 years and I know they need help and I know thay tell us they want to live with us and they tell thier mother they want to live with her. I'm just afraid they would want to live with her and I know it's their mommy and that's normal. But she's demaging them and she'll continue even when they do go back when they turn 12. Suppossely she wants them when they turn 12. But if she wants them so badily why doesn't she try now? An money is not an issue with bc her gramndmother paya for everything.
What should we do? Are we harming them for not helping them?

When did the Bible become the guideline for Christianity? How do we know that the Bible isn't just a scam, and that it hasn't been manipulated by man?

I do believe in God, but I'm just not so sure about the Bible. Was it really God, or just man trying to get people to behave? And aren't the guidelines in the Bible just common sense?

I bought a account for $24 and I can have 4 movies at a time. I was wonder once after I send all 4 back can I get more at no extra charge. It's a monthly thing I have. My step-dad says it cost extra, but I don't so. He says once you get four then any extra movie cost more money.

Why is it that don't people step back and just put a little more thought into who they sleep with? Especially, based on the fact that you might end up a parent with the wrong person 9 months later. All of this baby moma and baby daddy BS is ridiculous. Long term stability of a family is hard enough without starting out on unstable ground. People put more thought into buying a car than into who they end up having a kid with?

I am currently a senior in college, graduating in May of 2007 with 2 majors and a minor, all of which focus on teaching in secondary schools (English, Spanish, and English Language Learners). I am wondering whether or not the College Cost Reduction Act will actually benefit me at all, or if I am just incredibly unlucky to have gone to school (and racked up around $25,000 in loans) before the Act was passed. Thank you!

My tank has been running for over 1 year now so it's not that I didn't let it cycle before putting fish in it. I check the Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and PH levels weekly, they are all fine.
Last week one of my clown loaches died. I didn't think to much of it because fish die. I checked all the levels again, did a partial water change, cleaned the tank and the rocks. Then a couple days later another clown loach died. Again I checked all the levels, partial water change, and made sure there was nothing in the tank.
Today, one of my plecos died. Now I know they are very tough fish and it's hard to kill them so now I'm really confused. I just checked all the levels again and they are fine.
they are being fed enough. I feed them dry flakes daily, with brine shrimp or 4 meat frozen cubes every few days. I put algae pellets in the tank for the 2 plecos every once in a while too to make sure they have enough to eat as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my fish are dying?

How does it look so far? It was designed to be a Rancher without Hallways, since all Hallways do is take up uneccessary space.

I know they sell those little mini cardboard cereal boxes that you can rip and make into "bowls" to pur the milk right into box. I want to bring cereal from home to eat in the cafeteria at lunch, but I would like something healthier than kellogg's brand cereals (and yes, that includes skecial k, that's not healthy either.) Does anyone have an idea for how I can bring cereal from home without too much mess/hassle? Thanks a ton.

Okay, well... you know when you get discharge before your period?

You know how it's supposed to be white or clear?
Well, mine is a dark colour - almost black.

What does this mean?

I'm sorry, I know it's really unpleasant - but I'm worried and I really do not want to go to the doctor with this problem incase they make me go through an examination.

Thanks!
