My neice is 19. She has a 9 month old son and is 6 months pregnant. She is having some complications with this pregnancy.. The Dr told her she would not be able to work for the rest of her pregnancy, so she quit her part time job. She has to go to the Dr. 2-3 times a week so they can monitor her baby. I am a stay at home mom of 4. I offered to watch my 9 month old nephew while she has Dr. appointments to try to help out. She wants me to watch her from 8:00 to 5:30 on the days she has appointments. I agreed to watch him that long for $20 dollars a day. She lives at home and has the support of our entire family, but now everyone is turning on me. They think I should keep the baby for free. Am I being unfair? I feel I'm being taken advantage of because I don't work outside the home. HELP

Met a guy 3 wks ago. Great email & phone vibe. Had first date 11 days ago. So fun! Met for drinks after work. That led to dinner then dessert at another restaurant. Easy conversation, lots of flirting, laughing & fun. The evening ended the next morning waking up late at his place. Great chemistry. No awkwardness, good conversation next morning. 8 days ago, I sent friendly email just saying hello. He responded quickly, & we bantered back & forth through Tuesday, during which we talked about our first date & he made references to a "next time". Then no contact for 3 days. On Friday I invited him to join me for a movie on Sunday afternoon. He responded quickly thanking me for the invite, that sounds like fun, I'll call on Saturday if I can make it, I've had the flu since Tues. He never called. So other than responding to my efforts to reach out, he hasn't gotten in touch with me. It seems he's not interested in a 2nd date. Do you agree? If so, what went wrong?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 years and I'm a Senior in high school and I really love him and he loves me we have been through so much together and we've got through it. But my mother doesn't really think that me and him are going to make it she likes to talk about him and call him names and me names and stuff so what should I do?
Should I just go on with my life and not worry about it and just make me own decisions?

What should you do if you're going to buy a house, and then feel that there may be other better properties out there?

The vendor has agreed to sell his house to me, and I'm waiting for the survey result. However, in my last visit, I found out that some repairs are needed for this house. At the same time, at rightmove, primelocation, I saw some other attractive properties (I haven't viewed them yet). So now I'm in a "what-to-do?" situation? The contract is being done, but at the same time, I feel something better may be out there.

Have you ever had a similar situation? What will you do?

the new law would be that when you get married you get a five year marriage license and after five years if you don't renew your license your marriage will be disolved. I think it is a great idea

I was in a relationship which my ex bf controls me.. a long distanced relationship.He wanted me to promise him not to talk or look at any guys, dress decently ( no short skirts, no tight shirts, no sleeves with big holes), & not to swim or play basketball. He said he was worried about me and he didnt want other guys to look at me.He even told me to dress as ugly as possible. He told me to wait for him and he'll be back to marry me.I did all that for him but in between i broke few promises. We quarelled but eventually we got over it. Then, we broke up when I only complained that he has no time for me. The reasons are I don't understand him, his family will never accept me for my character. What did I do wrong? I did all that he said & report whatever I do through sms every minute of my life. I cried for a year and now he has a gf but why did he contact me & still flirts with me? He makes me feel bad about myself when he ignores me or put me down.I still love him. Should I stay or leave?

I am a 37 year old divorced (for 6 years) mother of a 9 and 10 year old. I live with my b/f of 4 years, simply because it is more financially sensible for me to NOT be married (ex. medicaide for the kids) I work a full time job 7 days a week....here is my issue....it seems EVERY church in my area, either has some type of stipulation about being divorced, living together without being married, or you just flat out CAN'T join the church because of your living/marraige situation...I would LOVE to get my kids back in church...what congregation would "overlook" me as a "sinner" for the choices i have made.????

My best friend is 13. Her sister is 16 and has a few month old baby. She (her sister) hits my friend and takes her phone and internet as if she was her mother.

Last night the older sister told my friend to take care of her baby while she washes the bottles and my friend told her she couldn't cause she was doing homework and her sister took her phone away. My friend opened the door to get her phone back and her sister grabbed her by the neck and held her up against the wall, choking her. Later on my friend slept in her moms room cause she was scared to sleep upstairs. Her mom came home at 5 am and when she told her, she didn't do anything. She just said ok. They don't even have food in their house. When she comes to my house she basically eats half of my fridge.

She doesn't want to make her moms life harder but something has to be done. What can be done?

My husband moved out this weekend, and wants a divorce. We didn't have a really ugly marriage, and hopefully we won't have an ugly divorce. We're both doing the best we can to keep things amicable, for us, but of course even more for our two kids, ages four and six.

I'm wondering what we should do about our son and school, with two issues in particular.

1. We're going to try having an almost 50/50 custody setup, only my husband is moving to another school district. If my son's primary address remains the same, will he still be able to attend the school he goes to, even though much of the time he would technically "live" in another district?

2. I feel we should let the school know what's going on, but I don't really know who to talk to, or what to say. Mainly, I want to let them know because he's going to have a hard time with it, and so that they can keep an eye out for any problems that we might not see.

Advise?

Ok, If you had a guy that you had been with for ages and he was great! But you had just bought a house together and he never really helped around the house, Stopped being affectionate or intimate, wasn’t really showing any interest, got all arsey all the time, wont talk, had been lying constantly before you had a big argument over it, had been going out most nights and coming back around 02:30 what would you do? He has recently found a new ‘female’ friend which he has been giving lifts home to, texting, speaking online with, had thought about being with her instead of you me cuz I'm a little ‘off’ cuz of everything, said he COULD fancy her but doesn’t. He still speaks to her and stuff but has stopped giving her lifts, he stays in now and goes round his friends house around twice a week, I left him a while back because I told him how I felt and he did nothing, and he begged me to come back so I did, But he is still being ‘off’ with me but said he still wants to marry me ,what can I do?

I know I shouldn't be reading her email, but I had to get an address of a friend. I saw that she was emailing her old boyfriend when I was away with work telling him that she was lonely. I am pretty upset, and I know she hates when I go away on business, but I have no control over that. The job puts a roof over our head. I just dont know if or how I could confront her about this. Any ideas?

If you love someone set them free, if they come back it was meant to be. if they are human they will realize their mistake, if not they are the loser. they may take too long to come back, and the little bird will have a new nest.
what do you all out there think?

I am getting married next year and my dress is an off the shoulder type, I have a tatoo on my arm and want to cover it up for the day. I am also very self conscious about revealing my arms and need a way of covering it. I need either the name of some make up that will definitely work or an idea of a place where I can get some kind of stole that wont look silly with my dress because of the shoulders. Im a size 22 so needs to be somewhere with plus

I've been married for 8 years. We are going through extreme troubles right now, which are mainly due to me. I have turned over a new leaf and am very sincere with it. I have changed for myself, her, and my child. For 2 months, I've been doing everything possible to make things better, but I get over anxious and blow it. As soon as we make a stride forward, I get stupid. How do I put these things out of my mind and let it happen. Things could get better if I would let it
