My Dad's Birthday is coming up and I've decided to get him a coffee mug with his name on it, coz I accidentally broke his old one. I need a web-site that sells coffee mugs with names on from A-Z. I just can't find one.
Thanks

My dad was born with the last name Gonzalez. But when he was in high school he said he just felt like writing it like this, Gonzales with an S. For no reason! Duh nobody just does that to there name like that for no reason. So know i am in high school and my last name is Gonzales! Ahh but the rest of my family's name is spelt with a Z! Why?

I believe that my sister had been sleeping with my husband. My sister and husband have convinced me that I'm insane. I don't have proof. So I could just be going crazy. However my sister could easily prove to me that I am out of my mind. But when I asked her to show me her phone records. She said that she is not allowed to release company documents. I calmly said that I was refering to her cel phone records. Then she told me that her cel phone is a company phone. So I asked her why she gets a verizon wireless bill. and she got really mad at me and refuses to talk to me.

I could be crazy!

Seriously! I know this sounds easy but I have never been a phone person. I want to answer a call just incase it's actually important or they need a ride. Some family will keep me an hour! I tell them I need to go and they IGNORE every word! I don't want to stop answering my phone but I just might have to.

I am the last one in the family to carry on the family name.

My grandfather was the only boy of 6 children.

He carried on the family name to his only children: twin boys.

One twin had children who never took his name because they were adopted by another man.

The other twin (my dad) only had one child: me.

So now I am the last of the “Smith” family.

My wife and I would like to have 2 or 3 children.

I would like to have a son to carry on the family name.

It is not extremely important, but I would like our family name to continue.

I know I could have a son who never has children or only has girls and the name will die out, but I would like to try to keep it going!

Is this just stupid of me?

I really appreciated your interest in this question, but I closed it too soon and didn't get to say much.
I was hard on dad. Over all, he is very loyal with a lot of integrity, and has other wonderful traits. He takes good care of us financially (great work ethics), and I really appreciate all of this. His pride is a bit overpowering at times, he alienates us emotionally, and has been critical when we really needed guidance. So, how can I help our children have more respect for their dad? He has done some harm in the past, and he reignites the pain by not trying to understand the current issue. He shoots back at them defensively instead of asking questions that could help defuse the situation. He thinks I have to stand up in the middle of the argument and tell the kids to respect him, or they never will. I do talk to them privately & respectively which calms them down, and then he reignites the pain again next chance he gets. I do respect him for who he is. But Help.

My parents divorced over 15 years ago. They were married for 10 years.

When she fills out forms she puts “Mrs. Smith”

She lived with me and my wife for 6 months and people would call the house asking for “Mrs. Smith”

I thought they were talking about my wife, but then I realized they were talking about my mom.

I told them there is only one “Mrs. Smith” and to not call my house for a “Mrs.” unless it’s for my wife.

My mom is almost jealous my wife is “Mrs. Smith” and tries to call herself the same.

Is this just plain weird? She has been divorced for YEARS, she has never remarried, so why does she think she is a wife?

And she is not in love with my father, he died a few years ago and she still talks bad about him.

Last week, i told my sister i would go to her child's open house IF i wasn't busy. Today she called to see what time i was planning on showing up..I told her yesterday that i probably wouldn't be able to make it due to homework and study time. Now, she's blameing me for her not being able to go. Keep in mind, this is HER child, not mine. Is it wrong for me to put my school and future career ahead of her child? She's calling my undependable, which i'm not. If i had the extra time, i would go...any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm 35 and my husband is 49 and he has a almost 2 yr old granddaughter. Even though I;m a little young to be a grandmother I couldn't love her anymore if my if she were my own blood. I just recently got the oppurtunity to start watching her while her mom works. Her REAL grandma doesn't want to do it anymore! I feel so blessed!!!! I wanted to have more children, but my husband didn't want to start over, although he's raised my two boys 12 and 18 with me the last 7 years. His kids my step daughter and son are 27 &24.So for us this is so awesome!!Anyone else out there in this situation and loving it?

I found this debate over the internet and I am intrigued. I know the typical answer is that the married couple has to agree to have a baby, but what if they can't reach an agreement. What if they agreed before getting married and suddenly one changed his/her mind. I know somebody is going to say go to a marriage counselor, but also assume that they did and still couldn't agree. Let us assume that the relationship they currently are in is stable, loving, and can support kids financially and time wise. Is this disagreement worthy as a basis of divorce? Can one side truly just declare whether the couple as a whole should/shouldn't have kids? It takes two to create a baby. Is the weight of judgement really equal between the husband and wife in this decision? Please answer with serious consideration of the questions I pose.

my daughter is 7 almost 8 yrs old she has what to me seems like panick attacks like for example school started yesterday she is returning to the same school but going into 2nd grade she was fine until we started getting closer then she started crying said her tummy hurt and i am not the kind of mom that freaks out and self diagnoses my children but she does this often like when we get on an elevator she will grab my arm and say are we going to get stuck i don't want to get on ..the thing that maybe think there was a problem was lately everynight when i go to bed she walks down stairs and checks all the locks in the house to make sure they are locked and she checks the burners on the stove .. she is not exposed to any kind of traumatizing tv shows at my house that would make her paranoid. I have 6 other kids and she is the only one that is so paranoid and scared of everything i took her to a therapist and she said she just wants attention but i am starting to think it's something more .

My ex tells me that whenever my 13 yr old son is on the motorcycle with him he makes him wear a helmet. They even rode up and he did have a helmet on him. Afterwards, my son told me his dad only borrowed the helmet for my sake but he had never wore one any of the 5 or 6 times before. So my ex is lying straight to my face and putting my son in danger. But there is no law against being stupid. My son does not want me to say anything to his father because he feels caught in the middle and his dad would be mad at him. I can't afford to go out and buy a helmet (father already owes back child support for last 2 years).
Any suggestions?

So I have a friend who is on medicaid. Actually it is his infant daughter who is. He works 60hr. weeks to support his family and cannot afford insurance. His wife stays home with the baby. Recently his In-laws and his wife have been pushing him to take the baby off of medicaid and just pay the bills himself. They feel that it is wrong to be on medicaid. Now some backgroung. they come from upper-middle whites. they are a poor young couple that can barely make their mortgage (hence the 60hr. weeks) this guy feels that if anything he deserves some help from the government. He works hard, is a good citizen, pays taxes. Should he accept help from medicaid or not?

My father has been deceased for five years. She is active in a church singles group, dates regularly, and never visits the cemetery. My siblings and I feel this is a little inappropriate but none of us has the nerve to tell her. My boyfriend's parents celebrated their 50th last year with a nice open house and I think my mom feels she is entitled to her own party, too. Has anyone encountered this situation? Are we wrong for not feeling comfortable with this "event"? This will take place at a nice restaurant and she says this is "what Dad would have wanted". She exhibits passive aggressive tendencies and likes to use guilt to manipulate us.

I'm 13, told mom we had to talk, cause on some points I thought she should change he attitudes towards me. I want some more freedom. We have a good relationship and she said Sure hun. I wrote down 12 points I'd like to talk about and at night we sat down to talk, As for the first 2 points, she agreed with me immediately, said, Yes hun, you're completely right, and I thought I might win. But then,those answers, No hun, lets see, let's think together. When we finished, my score was kinda poor: Out of the 12 points, she agreed with me completely only in 3. In 7 points at first we didn't agree, but after thinking honestly about them I had to admit she was right. In 2 points we didn't really agree but of course her opinion, not mine, prevailed. She noticed I got disappointed and said Ok, for now u don't agree, but please, trust me, don't get mad at your mom. I'm more experienced, just want your best. Gimme some credit. Well, I lost, but at least she listened.

even though you had paperwork from 4 seperate doctors and you were just following what the doctors told you do to ( put the child in her crib and let her cry, check on her every 15 mins but DO NOT PICK HER UP) how long would you hold a grudge?
