Family & Relationships - 26 December 2006

My husband's mother calls EVERY day. She wants to know everything and he does give her details of everything even when we fight. I really do not know how to let him know how much it bothers me; I have already told him but he takes it as if I was just being mean to her. She looks for an excuse to call every day, and the other day she told me she should know everything because she is his mom. She is a nice lady but I am starting to feel a little bit ticked off about it.

Is it 10% per kid? 20% for two kids? How do they come to the amount a man will pay? Whats the science behind that? What all goes into figuring that out? The younger the child, the more you pay? Or vice versa? How does it work? Lets say somebody makes two grand a month, how much would they take a month for two kids? I'm not going through this, but I'm curious to know. Not too long ago a man when into the child support office and killed four people because they had been taking WAY too much out of his check. They were leaving him about fifty bucks to get him through two weeks!!! He only had one child!! How does that work?

I enjoy wearing a Jar Jar Binks costume all day, everyday. I also behave like Jar Jar, making loud noises and throwing things around. Anyway, I was hired to play Santa claus at a local children's center on christmas day. I decided the children would be much happier if they could see Jar Jar on christmas then dumb old santa, so when I showed up, I was dressed as Jar Jar instead, but the guy who runs it got all mad and said to dress as santa right now! I told him to go 'F' himself, and this is how I was dressing. He FIRED me, and quick put a santa costume on himself. I knew the children were as outraged as me and wanted me to avenge the christmas that this guy ruined. So I ran up to the tree and started stomping on presents. I pulled the tree down and screamed like tarzan. I ran screaming around the room, taking kid's toys and smashing them. People started chasing me and I ran up to santa and punched him in the face! A few guys tackled me, and I was arrested! Can I sue for what they did?

Ok I am taking this girl my mom set me up with on a date to an office Christmas party next week. I have this piece of jewelery I won at this party last year (a diamond pendant necklace) no one I know seems to want this thing and I dont really want to sell it. Its a really beautiful peice of jewelery that just through lack of female friend/serious dates I have no one to give this necklace to. Is it ok to give it away on the first date to this fancy Christmas party I am going to where we have to get dressed up?

There is this guy and he and I have known eachother for about 9 months. We have had hookups but not sex. He has asked and i respectly decline his offer. My parents dont like him b/c of his past. He is 19 and I am 15 who is mature abuot what i do with guys. Should I not talk to him anymore? or should I listen to my heart which is saying, Go get him Kate Go be with him. Runaway and be with him. Thats what I want to do. Me and my dad dont get along and me and my sister right now hate eachother. Whats the point of being at him right? I hate it at my house and I want to go for runs just to see him. What should I do?

and chilling and I was thinking that I finally met a really good guy. He was respectful and he was taking me out to eat and everything. Even after the first time we got physical he was the same.....then all of a sudden it changes like that. About two and half months into it he sort of changes...he never really tells me that he just wants to be friends (but we had never really established that we were together) he just kinda throws me to the side....he doesnt text me any more that he misses me and now when we talk on the phone its like for five minutes....and lately when I go to chill he is usually talking to other girls on the phone...after I got mad at him for being disrespectful he tells me he talks to girls on the internet to get money from them and signs point that way because he has things now he never had! And he doesnt work..ex(a brand new phone, clothes)He treats me okay as a friend, still wants sex..I cut it off after the disrespectfullness,but should I bounce or be cool?

My husband and I have been living together for 6 months, our sex life is almost non existent and he never wants to get close to me. We are in our late 20s and we have sex probably once a month. I am constantly bothered by his habits such excessive smoking and non-healthy dieting, plus he always makes excuses to go to the gym. We never even kiss anymore, I really cannot stand the cigarrete smell and every time I say something he gets mad at me, specially when he wants to smoke in the car while I am in it. I used to smoke but I do not anymore. We recently went to visit his parents and his mother smokes one every minute, he took advantage and smoked more than usual; the worse thing is that they smoked inside the house and I got sick because of that. Later they said I was not being myself. I am trying to take a healthy life, eating and exercising and smoking is not in my agenda anymore. I feel this is drawing us apart so early in our relationship that I am afraid we might eventually fail.

I decided to combine the two greatest things of the modern age. The first is Jar Jar Binks, the second is the heroic efforts fo TRUTH.COM. Basically, I wear a Jar Jar Binks costume around and help people quit smoking. I saw a man smoking outside of a office building so I ran up, screamed in his face, and sprayed him with a supersoaker until the cigarette went out. He screamed and yelled and chased me! Then I saw a woman in a car smoking at a red light! I stood in front of the car and banged on the hood, while screaming jibberish until she realized I wanted the cigarette out. Then I saw a woman with a baby stroller, and I wanted to warn the baby not to smoke before he starts, so I ran up, pushed the mom out of the way, screamed in the baby's face, dumped a bottle of water on his head. and then threw a handful of Truth.com pamplets in the stroller! The mom screamed and yelled! Am I a hero for doing these things?

Okay, this guy I really REALLY like is going out with someone. I don't know what to do about how I feel. He's my friend and everything, but it kills me because I can't have him. What do I do??? I REALLY wanna go out with him.

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"

So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs". The second floor sign reads: These men Have Jobs and Love Kids". The third floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking."

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

At the fourth floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework."

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak." She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: "You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store."

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street. It too has six floors. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

We were together for four years and he is engaged. I still love him, and he calls me a lot just to talk. I know it's easy to say move on but, it's really hard I am trying to but, the more I talk to him the more I feel torn. I told myself I would stop talking to him but, I know I will be miserable without talking to him or having him in my life because he is such a big part of it and has been for so long it's hard to let go. I told him that I was going to have to stop talking to him once he got married and he seemed upset. I don't see a reason for me to talk to him then or now really but, it's hard to let go because I feel it will only hurt me in the end

My daughter has a friend that loves to spend time here. I don't mind her, she's actually a good kid but sometimes I feel that her mother expects me to do all the driving back and forth. That and if there are ever any events to go to I get stuck footing the bill for this child. I really don't mind but it would be nice if she would just help out.

Is there a polite way to bring this up to the girls mother, I know it's not the girls fault

what would make a guy stay around after you have called the police, told him to leave, he thinks he has some right to follow me where ever I am. Why can't he just go away and say nothing. just go
