You had a class reunion coming up, but the same day you were to go your kids also had 3 make-up ballgames from being rained out. Do you go to the reunion and just drop the kids off for their games and leave them there, or do you say forget the reunion and go support your kids and their ball teams??
I chose to support my kids and their ballgames, and I got my ear chewed by my bf because I wasn't at the reunion...I really had no other choice. I didn't think it would be very responsible to just dump off the kids and leave! Even though they are both old enough 13 &15. I just hated to be that parent.

My boyfriend took a job out of town for a year. His 20 year old twin sons live with me but I do not like it. If he is making "GOOD" money with this job shouldn't he put them up in a place of their own?

I was having dinner with my Grandparents the other night, and we started talking about death. I asked Grandma "What do you think it would feel like to get shot in the head? Like, would you feel the pain instantly, or would it linger?" My Grandmother smiled politley and said she didn't know. But I have this morbid fascination with death, so I persisted in asking more. "But Grandma, like- how would it feel to get shot?" My Grandfather finally said "Sometimes I believe the body just shots down. So you would feel a slight pain, but then you would die." I said "Wow, really?" And sighed with a satisfaction I get when someone tells me about death and how it feels. Ten minutes later into our dessert, when Grandma asked me to pass the cheesecake, I said "Grandma, I heard this guy was eaten by a lion. How would it feel to get eaten? Like, would you smell your own guts?" My Grandmother slammed her fork down and said "Will you STOP that please?!" I was shocked. My Grandfather told me also to stop.

I was wondering what I should do....here's my situation. My boyfriend and I have a three year old son and we're expecting another any day now. He's 24 and I'm 23. I know we're young blah, blah, blah. But when he's not at work he's constantly hanging out with our friends, who, by the way, don't have children, and leaving me to take care of our three year old. I'm the one who gets up with him every day...not that I don't like to, but sometimes a girl needs a break too! I do EVERYTHING!! He just plays with him. And his mother still spoils the crap out of him. The lady waits on him HAND AND FOOT!! I've asked her not to and told her that that is one of the reasons we argue but she continues to do this!!! He's too concerned with partying and being with his friends. I had to grow up so why doesn't he have to? Any advice on what to do?

my sister in law has been telling me for months that her and her husband which is my husbands brother don't have the money to buy a house and that he is in a depression because of it...so i tell my husband of the things she said so that he can maybe make his brother manager of one of the businesses he owns before he makes a stranger because they aren't making the money that they need to move foward. Turns out she calls the day her husband goes into train for business and asks us "what is the light at the end of the tunnel"?? She was expecting him to be a business partner and my hubby already has one...i had to ask her exactly what he made for a living and our positon was less money...and by the way they are making a very good salary. I said why did you set me up to believe you had no money?? and she says no it is a life style i want...So now the brothers have not spoke because of this...is she a calculated girl or am i crazy?

Hey, can someone please explain why homosexuals are allowed to adopt kids as it defies all logic.

Studies show, that kids brought up by solely a women or just a man are worse off emotionally, and do worse in school, generally speaking, than kids that come from a convential family.

Regardless if you believe in god or not, children can only be concieved by a man and a women - not two men, it wasn't intented like that.

Now, you can't say that this is discrimination. To illustrate this with an analogy, the best man for the job is the man who gets the job.
Why should the child be disadvantaged, there are queques of people wanting to adopt children and not enough children to go around, why should homosexuals get the kids when as statistics show, they are not best suited to the job. The childs best interests should be taken into account. THIS IS NOT DISCRIMINATION.

Some homosexuals may argue, that they are tender and intune with their feelings enough to substitute a womens role

My boyfriend's mother is 65, she has 2 sons, one of which she has no contact with. She's a sweet lady but gulible to the point where she is a hazard to herself. She recently racked up a $7000 CreditCard debt to buy a dvd that was going to teach her to "get rich", her herbiolist told her she's getting radiation posioning by watching tv for half an hour, and that if she has the $ he will remove her old age spots on her face and make her look young again. She believes that actupuncture is going to restore her hearing. I have a feeling that if someone was to sing the right song and tune she would sign away her house if they asked just right. My bf and I are at a loss as to how to handle this. She doesnt want to listen to our advise or when we mention she's being taken advantage of she ignores us and thinks were lying. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this point over to her that her finacial future is at risk without destroying her self confidence?

I have a 3.71 GPA in college (in the Honors Program), I've NEVER been in legal trouble, and NEVER been in a car accident that was my fault (I've been in one that was admittedly the other person's fault). I don't drink, or do drugs. And most of the time when I want to go out, it's within 20 min. of my house!
MY brother who is 23 y/o, has been in at least 2 car accidents that were his fault, has gotten at least 3 speeding tickets, he drinks, makes HORRIBLE GRADES, IS STILL IN COLLEGE, LIVES AT HOME and HARDLY does his chores... HIS RESTROOM IS SO DISGUSTING that when I'm not home, he USES MINE! His room is a complete mess as well! Got fired from his job, so he's JOBLESS! He has A.D.D., but he takes medicine for it... AND HE CAN STAY OUT ALL NIGHT! Sometimes he doesn't even come home until the next morning.
My parents say that he can do that because he is older, but age shouldn't matter. I am more responsible than he is... And even if age did matter, I should be able to say out past 10pm

Okay, my daughter is 7 yrs old and tries to act like a 2 yr old. She's very smart, straight A's all the way through K and 1st grade. But she has no common sense. She doesn't pay attention to any thing we say. I mean, she can ask you a question and as soon as she is finished asking she completely tunes us out. So the next thing she says is either "Huh?" or she is re-asking the same question b/c she didn't listen long enough to hear the answer. And she is always trying to get her little brother (he's 5) into trouble. She will purposefully tell him to do something she knows is wrong and then try to draw our attention to it so that he gets punished. Also, he is going into Kindergarten this year and I have been working with him on his letters and numbers, etc. She always tries to get in the middle of things like, "look Mommy, I can do this". I tell her that I am very proud that she can do it and I know that she is very smart but I need to work with him. I love them both so much.

You take $200 bucks a month for your trouble, and don't tell her because she wont notice anyway. No harm, no foul... Is this moral to do this?

First of all, I'm ELCA Lutheran, so yes, female pastors are allowed. I'm not asking your opinion on female pastors.

Moving on, how to I tell my parents about this calling? Other people I am close to know, and are supportive. I have a friend or two who has laughed at me and told me I'm wasting my life, but that's beside the point. I can deal with them. But how do I tell my parents? It seems like they expect me to go into business or law or something like that... But that's not where I see myself. Any advice, please?

I have been having problems with my Family which has been going on for years. It is hard to go into all the details about each relationship and why or whos fault it was. I know I have some blame as well. However, I have told some of my Family members that when I do die I do not want them to be at my Funeral. I feel that if my Family could not be around to support me and not even call me on the phone that I should have some rights in my death requests. Is this true? Can I request in a will to have nobody be around my Funeral at all?
I am alot like my Mom before she passed on she stated, " If you could not buy me Flowers when I am Alive, don't buy me flowers when I am dead." That is how I feel with my relatives now. I have tried to foster a family enviroment all my life just to be mocked, ridiculed and stolen from. I do feel like that If I can't have a Family when I am alive why should I have a Family when I am dead?

A friend has a young baby (almost crawling) by a married man. I don't know if she knew he was married or not when she conceived, but that is irrelevant. The man remained married to his wife. He has asked to take the baby for an overnight visit. The wife has been openly hostile to my friend since finding out about her husband's affair. My friend is concerned about her baby's safety. The husband has been paying child support and health insurance. If you were in her shoes, would you let him take the baby for an overnight visit? Her concern is that the wife might injure the baby. I personally would advise her not to, but I thought I would get other opinions. I've seen the wife's hostility.

my daughter threw a fit today while over to grandma's holding on to her grandma's leg saying that she wanted to stay with them, that she didn't want to go home, In the middle of an emotional breakdown, I freaked told her that I felt like she didn't love mommy and daddy. Ofcourse I know that five year olds don't have the ability to reason. But this is an all the time thing anymore. Everytime we go to see family she says she doesn't want to be with mommy and daddy anymore. A lot of it is jealousy because she has a two year old brother who she feels gets more attention than her. I try to spend time with her, I told her that we love her and him the same, that we didn't love him more than her. But her constant fighting, and saying hateful things has really hurt me. I am loosing it and can't deal. I'm already in a fight against severe depression. How can I make this stop. I have tried spending more time with her alone but nothing seems to work. I feel like I should take her to counseling

She is driving and that is why I am jealous. Just being in control of the car makes me want to do it. I'm 14 on Friday so I will get my permit next year but my license in 2 years. That's soo long. She is mean so that contributes. She goes every night to practice and talks about it all the time. She always finds ways to bring it up with relatives too. It is so annoying. And the fact that my parents won't let me ride my bike anywhere besides around the block and she will be able to drive places. I can't even ride my bike to DQ because "it's too dangerous" and its really not. Soon she will be driving to church and stores and I don't want her to. Should I go around the block with her to get used to her behind the wheel. I don't want to look at her in the drivers seat because it might get me mad. I know that this is weird but I need help tp GET OVER this jealousy. I'm a boy too. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I just posted this question and it gave me actually more questions and a little more of a scenario to add to catch you up I am 18 and my mother pays my bills by her choice not mine. I only except the money because it is sent straight to my bank account or she directly pays my bills. I exchange my mother now lives with me when she is between jobs. My consequence for this is that i cannot live my own life she tells me i cant cook, she tells me what to wear, who my friends should be what i should name my baby, where i should work, what classes i should take in school the list goes on and on. She wont let me be my own person. And when I tell her she says she is my mother and it is her right. Honestly for me she doesnt understand it depresses me. I almost hate her. But i cant because i love her so much i am an only child and her mother killed herself so i know she feels like she has no one else but its to the point where my friends call and she tries to tell them what is wrong with them

My son is 8 years old and he LOVES Drake Bell from the Nick show Drake & Josh. Drake is also a singer and teenage idol...he's coming to our town a couple of weeks before my sons 9th birthday. I'm trying to decide if he's too young for Me to take him to the concert? Only serious answers please. My husband and mom are confused like I am. We don't want him in a bad environment, but we know how much he loves him and we're hoping it's mainly a "kid" environment and wouldn't be bad with drunken adults, etc....

A year ago I admit I messed up, gave in to peer pressure, did some wrong stuff and then I realized I was on the wrong track and changed. But anyway my parents didn't accept my sincere apologies and I got a harsh punishment. I've never got in trouble again and agree I'm an excellent girl and are proud of me, but things were never the same. Cause of them, because they were unforgiving and I never got their trust again, at least that's s how I feel. And that was wrong and cruel of them, cause everybody makes mistakes, especially at 14, and they've always known I just went through a bad and temporary phase For several months I suffered a lot w/ this, but my feelings weren't important to them. I got to know new people, especially at my volunteering activities, who became quite important to me, like second parents, and gave me wonderful proofs of respect and trust. Today they are emotionaly more important than my parents. I intend to keep w/ my parents a respectful but distant relationship
