One of my mom's really expensive William Sonoma mixing bowls. I just broke a glass cup the other day and she wasn't angry at all, but this is really expensive, she will FLIP.What should I do? I figure I could just put it in a plastic bag and throw it in a dumpster...but then she would wonder where it was, and thats kind of sneaky...I could also tell her one of the cats knocked it over, but even if she believed that, I would feel really bad...HELP ME. She gets home IN 5 HOURS!!!!!

Right now, my husband works and right now I have taken responsibilities as a housewife until my crew reports to work. My brother in law has moved here as well to work, and my husband offered to let him stay with us. First of all, he made the offer without discussing it with me first. We live in a studio apartment with 2 dogs. It's perfect for us, but crowded with 3 people. There are no separate bedrooms. There is no privacy to be had in the house anymore. His brother uses the bathroom, and doesn't flush the toilet. The trash piles up and over flows. Cereal boxes and milk jugs get piled around the trash can when they don't fit. No one takes the initiative to empty the trash. They wait for me to do it. I've asked for help with dishes since I cook. My husband doesn't like doing dishes, but I feel this is a sacrifice he should make since he introduced a roomate. His brother is also mean to my dogs. I'm considering moving out once I start to work. Any one have any advice?

My parents are trying to get my address in an attempt to control me, although they don't have anything to post to me, live 2000 kms away from me and don't even like me.

They have filed a report with the missing persons department although they know that I am alive and well. My father has my e-mail, and has nothing to say to me.

My parents are devoutly religious and I am not; and they have never given me a single word of encouragement or praise in my entire life. They deliberately took every opportunity to undermine my self-esteem and always gave the excuse that "I needed to be taken down a peg or two".

My mother ignored me or blamed me for making mistakes as a child and my father never listened to me and always hit me in a religion which encourages physical punishment.

They are trying to force my address out of me, what should I do? Should I disown them?

My maternal grandmother is 95 year old. She suffers from dementia and she is causing a lot of problems with my parents and family. Even before she had dementia she always had a mean personality and has verbally abused my mom. Right now she lives with my mom and dad. She really doesn't cooperate or gives my parents breaks to do things for themselves. My parents at this point are considering putting her in a nursing home. There are a lot of people who think putting your elderely loved ones in a nursing home is wrong. What do you all think?

First of all: I have ALWAYS wanted to change my first name.
Next: I just moved a thousand miles away from my hometown and I'm now on my own. I enjoy the fact that no one knows me and I get a chance to start over. In I suppose what you could call a "celebration" I have really been thinking that now would be a perfect time to change my name. I finally decided on "Renee". (It's fitting for many, many reasons). However, my older cousin's middle name is Renee. She and I never got along growing up. (She down-right hates me, to put it plainly). However, my question is...What obligation do I have to tell her, if any? Is this proper ettique? I will have to go home for Christmas and New Years, and I'm wondering how she would feel?? Am I over reacting?

I was awarded this money due to a lawsuit that was filed years ago. Once I was given this money, my parents plan was to buy a house, but the problem is: I do not want to live with them, I want my own space. My mother suggested that we can buy a house (2 family) which meant I would have my own space (Its 5 of us parents, 1 brother and 1 sister). What do you guys think I should do? Get my own place or move in a house with them? In addition, this money was awarded almost 5 years ago and since then we still have not done anything? I feel this big guilt!!!

My boyfriend whom I love very much is taking care of children that I am almost positive are not his. These kids, (boy and a girl) look nothing like him. It's a joke to everyone around him and we have been telling him for years that he should get a paternity test just so he can know for sure but he won't do it. He keeps making excuses like It cost too much money or because he really thinks those are his biological children. It is causing major problems in our relationship because I know the kid's mother knows the truth and she uses him for money to take care of some other man's kids but my boyfriend won't listen to me when I tell him that. I don't know what to do anymore. It bothers me so much because the kid's mother intentionally causes problems in our relationship by calling him all the time and asking him for money and half the time she won't even let him see those kids. Somebody please tell me what to do. I don't want to leave him but this has been going on for too long.

think its ok to let them run around in places such as waiting rooms and public transport. Keep them under control. When me and my sister were kids we never run riot because we were taught not to and we respected other peoples space. And why do parents let kids scream and shout on trains too, have some consideration for your fellow passengers. we are raising a generation of louts!

She's in 6th or 7th grade. But theres this boy that was a senior in school his year who was very good friends with her. He would walk her home everyday and hug her. She started to get kind of scared though he wasn' doing anything. She just felt awkward being such close friends with him. He emails her all the time and she sends me their emails. In one of them he talks about how he missed not talking to her and said he was about to cry after he saw her beautiful ocean blue eyes. Then in one she tells him she's not ever talking to him again because he refuses to say something to her, so he begs her to keep on emailing him or he'll die. Is this guy just really dramatic or should I telll my younger sis to stop talking to him. whenever she does, he keeps on emailing her. I'm hoping he gets more busy in college. She was talking to him to just be nice but their conversations become much to serious and she really doesn't like him. I would tell him myself but I go to a different school than him

My 17 year old daughter is taking cannabis. We have caught her several times, we can also tell by her eyes when she comes home. We have confronted her several times, always ending up in big arguments. We have also grounded her several times, only for her to carry on again when she is allowed out. We have suggested talking to a councillor or the doctor, but she refuses. Recently, we have turned a blind eye when we know what she has been doing, but it is breaking my heart worrying about her, and is she going to do something stronger. Should I carry on turning a blind eye to avoid the grief and arguments, and hope she grows out of it, or confront her and take the grief that will go with it. Its not just the arguments, if confronted, she storms out of the house, and I am left wondering is she going to run away from home, move in with some junkies, basically I imagine the worst scenarios possible. What should I do, and is there any practical steps can I take?

Well, my church was going to a Mission trip to DC and planned it for several months w/ 2 other churches. I was looking forward to it for months until they recently said i cant go.

Reason: They said that the homeless people there will kidnap me, shoot me, or even worse!

I thing this sound like a huge pile of BS.

I mean, my cousins went there a month ago and HE IS A YEAR YOUNGER THAN ME! Also, the ppl coming there this time w. me have ppl my age and even younger than me. The D.C the the USA's capital, so it should have enough police there right?

Thanks for reading my problem and i would like to hear your opinion about this (Plz dont leave stupid comments)

I’m a stay-at-home mom and I’m practically raising my kids on my own, since my husband is working at nights and sleeping through the day. The time he spends with us is max. two hours a day so I have to deal with everything that comes along and be both mom and dad. It was fine for a few years but now I’m just sick of it. I feel tired all the time, unhappy and very alone. It’s like they all have so big expectations of me when sometimes all I really want to do is scream and hide in my bed. I love my kids and my husband but I need a break. I talked to my husband about it and he suggested that I’d go on a trip on my own for a few days. But does needing a break makes me a bad mother and wife?

"When," I ask you? When?! I could really use a hand. I don't mean waking up at 4 am to get on answers while everyone is asleep.

Also, taking care of a baby, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, contrary to popular opinion is a 24 hour job. Until you've done it and done it well, you have no idea ... it takes organization & time management just like a 9 to 5.

I cannot afford a nanny and if I could, I'd still be right here. What are your tips other than waiting until everyone is sleep, in kindergarten, off to college?

A month after I met my husband I found out he had fathered a child before he met me from a one night stand. The woman was 42 and he states he felt completely set up. She rang and told him she thought she was pregnant and he didnt hear from her again. The Gov then sent papers naming him as the father and requesting he sign them. He was not sure he was the but didnt dispute it so he signed. He has not heard from her since.
The child would be 3 this Dec. He refuses to contact her. He would pay support if the mother requested it. I feel so sad for the child - it is not his fault and I am worried he will grow up to have issues of abandonment and end up on our doorstep asking why his father never wanted to know him.
I feel like writing a letter to the Mum to ask if she would send pics and to send her some and make at least some minor contact via photos and letters, cards and presents at xmas etc.
What should I do???? (and no moral crusaders answer please i dont need a lecture)

I am married to a very nice girl from eastern europe. When we got married, I promised her that we would go to visit and live with her family in her country twice a year. My wife's sister (my sister in law) was with my wife when we met. The sister in law (SIL) immediately became insanely jealous of my sister. SIL dropped out of school and and cannot hold down a job. When we had a baby, SIL had a baby and became a single mother just to compete with her sister (my wife). SIL has no income, and lives with her parents (my inlaws). When we comes to visit, she makes my life hell, constantly criticizing me. When I try to discipline my daughter, she tells my daughter not to listen to me, and tries to train my own daughter to be against me. When I go to my wife for support, she basically just says "sorry my sister is difficult, just try to be nice." When I try confronting SIL, she completely flips out. My relationship with my wife, Mother I-L, and Father I-L is great. What do I do?

My sister-in-law is having a shower for her new baby, I would like to give her my sons radio flyer wagon overflowing with baby goodies. The thing is that the wagon was very expensive and sentimental to us, (its one of the big wooden ones that I got for my son's shower 15 years ago) and we would like it back when her child is done with it. So the question is, how do I present this at her shower while letting her know that when they are through we would like it back. Is that rude? Should I just go with a different gift?

For five months I have been seeing this guy that my brother does not like. Well over the weekend as I was getting ready to go out with my brother my cell had gone off while I was somewhere else. He saw that it was the guy and pretty much did not want to hang out with me at all. Since then he hasn't said a word. I don't know what to do. And I fear that he will tell my father about the guy.
