Family & Relationships - 9 February 2007

My mother signed me up, and paid for, a racquetball class that meets every week for five weeks on Saturdays. She did not ask me if I wanted to be in this class because it was filling up fast and she didn't want to miss a spot. I have no desire to start having my weekends be completely scheduled since my week is already filled with school and student government and the like. Plus, I'm not really interested in racquetball all that much. I told her that I didn't want to do the class since it is in the middle of the only day that I don't have filled up. She is angry because she pent this money, but my argument is that it was a)her mistake to spend the money, not mine and b)a sunk cost and should not be included in my decision making about whether or not I take this class. Any advice? I'm also trying to get a job as a lifeguard, this class would make that hard. (I'm an 18 year old senior in high school, and virtually all of my peers agree with me, but my adult friends and teachers don'

my bf and Ihave been dating about 3 yrs...lived together after dating only a month...things moved fast, but in a good way. I want to be married to this man, but he beats around the bush a little. He has been married before, so I understand he is a little cautios, we have been together longer than he was with his wife, how long do I wait...it may have only been 3 years, but when you live with someone you get to know them so much faster....and Im ready. Is it crazy to give an ultimatum?

Other than Yahoo, where the bots make up at least 50% of the population, especially after 2 am, what are some good late night chats?

Me and another sister are local. Two other sisters and brother are out of town. We have chosen not to put my mother in a nursing home even though she require a lot of care due to brain aneurysm that she had and is now in a wheelchair. My local sister lives with my Mother and does a lot of everyday care. I live real close by and do all maintenance on house, bought a handicap van which has set me back financially, do all financial for both Mom and sister, do some of my mom's care when my sister can't, I figure out what medical needs that she has, I do her meds, I get all the prescriptions filled, etc. I have been set back financially and career wise to be available to help with my mom's care. Recently a letter was sent to out of town sibblings asking them to start paying $200 month on Mom. The feedback I'm getting is that Mom has the money to pay for all her expenses and what we are doing for her we have volunteered or chosen to do and therefore they don't want to help. Not fair.

I met this girl @ school and she's married. the first time i saw her i started chatting her up and saw a ring on her finger but didnt really think anything of it... i asked her to lunch but she said she couldnt because she had to meet someone... but she wanted to schedule for the next day... after she told me that i was sorta put off and didnt want to see her anymore so i sat completely on the opposite side of the room from her and just ignored her for like a month... today she came up to me and started chatting me up... she was still making jokes/references to our last conversation so i know i had an impact. my question is... should i try hitting it? I havent gotten any action in the past 4 months. I'm 18 btw and she's like 26.....

I am engaged to the most wonderful guy in the world. He is half filipino and I am getting married in less than 2 weeks. They are very traditional in his family, what are some things I need to learn about filipeno traditions and things? I'm american. I look kind of like him, people think we're family or something but I'm still 100% american and kind of clueless about all this. What is the most important thing to a filipeno guy about his wife? What can I do to make sure his mom always likes me?

I dated my wife for 4 years before me got married. There were things that I knew could be issues, that might bother me down the road, but i'm a passive person, I just didn't say anything. Then we finally hit a crossroads, and I had to let her go or propose... i felt like I was making the right decision by proposing. A mistake, yes. So what do I do now? It's time to have kids... will they help?? Don't get me wrong, my wife and I are best friends,, there are attraction issues. She's still a pretty girl, just with a couple very distrubaing flaws to me... things that I thought I could deal with, and am now saying there's just no way. I do love her... the problem is really at it's worst when we're around other people... I feel that they're judging me by her looks... do people do that? or is that something thats all in my head? If I can make this work and get over my hangups, great. my question to you is, would you divorce early, (2 yr marraige) or try having kids.

She visits him because she says he is helping her with a project. She continues to hold hands and kisses him as a friend. I caught them together at a concert and she admitted to having unprotected sex with him.

LOL

I recently contacted an old teacher of mine after twenty-seven years.

I babysat for her two kids back in 1980 and I contacted her because I wanted to ask her if I could use her as a reference or at least have a letter of recommedation because I want to get into babysitting part time.

On January 23rd I wrote and sent her a letter. I told her who I was (I have since married and moved), that I was interested in working in babysitting, and politely asked her if I could use her as a reference or have a letter of recommendation. I included my address and phone number.

I never received a response of any kind.

In your opinion, why would she not respond at all; not even to decline?? If something like this happened to you, can you tell me what you think happened here?

Thanks. :)

Easy or Play hard to get?
Tall or petite?
Sexy or beautiful?
Style or Intelligence?
You can't say both, in this case if you had to choose one over the other what would it be? thanks for the answers in advance
