My little brother is 18 year old. He is a trouble maker. He quited high school, smoke, and drink.

He works for my aunt company. He met a 36 lady widow who has 16 years old son. My brother and the lady are now dating for over 1 years.

My mom said, she is very nice to him. She encourages my brother to managing money, going to school, and quit drinking.

My father said, she is taking advantage of my little brother. She is much older than him. She is a widow with a son.

What do you think of this?

P.S. It is hard for the lady to find a good man ( her age) in my culture because the older people still believe in virginity and such...

What do you think of this? Please advice.

i have to write an essay about heinrich schliemann and i need to pick wheather he should be considered the "father of archaeology" or just a plain fraud/theif/con-artist/etc.

I'm kind of leaning towards the possibility of saying hes a fraud but i'm not sure what my arguements for fraud will be.

So bascially i need help for some arguements for both (might change my mind and do father of archaeology)

So like, if you think he's a fraud; one arguement can be that he stole artifacts for the excavation and was banned from Turkey.

No need to get too detailed.. but if you want to.. its ok :p...

Is this the most embarassing thing or WHAT?
so i am a junior in high school and today we had field day...and we played tug of war. my team decided that we would let go in the middle after a guy yells 1,2,3 so that the other team would fall. the guy yelled it, and i didn't hear him so i held onto the rope when everyone else released it and the other team pulled on it. so i fell and slid all on the floor! it was soooooooo embarassing! everyone was like aww it's okay, good job! and all this stuff but inside they're probably thinking about how much of a loser i am. and it's gonna be so awkward to see them all tomorrow. ahhhh, i wanna switch schools!!

I have been having these re-occuring dreams where my boyfriend goes behind my back, and befriends, then becomes romantically involved with another woman. They usually meet online, or through friends, and in each dream, they admit that he went to visit her (she always lives far away) for one day, to see if they connected in person. In the dream, I confront them both, and I ask her all the questions about how they met, why they did this...did she know I existed? And...she answers me calmly. My boyfriend looks not guilty, and stands by this new woman.

I know that in real life, my boyfriend is not cheating on me, and that his affections are truly towards only me. (We have a great, open, loving relationship, with full honesty), and he would never do this to me. Plus, there are no red flags.

Can any suggest another reason why I would be having this dream?

Is it ok to have an abortion after a woman is raped? Or should she keep the baby because it's considered murder? If she would keep it, how would she support it if she comes from a low-income family and is 17 years old? Any good comments would be helpful. I am doing a Maternity Research Paper on this topic. Thanks!

Does anyone else think that we have a downright stupid setup with our government in terms of financial aid for students going to university (again, NOT college! The difference in cost is beyond ridiculous!)
I can barely afford going to university being that it will cost me between 5000-6000$ a year. My brother barely pays 3000$ a year for college, and how long are most of their courses? Two years? To earn my Ba. of Education, I will be in school for roughly 4 or 5 years. Teacher's college costs 10,000$.
My parents make too much money for me to earn OSAP, so I'm expected to put all of that money away flipping burgers. So technically, they're saying that financially, I have no ties to my parents, yet a kid coming from a poor family can earn OSAP. Why the heck can't HE earn a job like the rest of us and just bank it? It's fkn ridiculous!!

Ok. /end rant.

I have never ever had so many responses to some simple questions I have asked. Why ?

2007-10-23 07:26:05 · 14 answers · asked by Anonymous in Psychology

After 3+ years of careful birth control, I somehow managed to get my wife pregant. (How that accident happenned isn't really important). What IS important, however, is that I had scheduled a vasectomy just the week before we discovered this with her full knowledge and approval. We planned to never have children. Go figure.

If you disagree with abortion or a woman's right to chose, that's fine, but read no further. You can't help me, and faith-based answers will be ingorned. Everyone else...

My wife says, "This is our decision. I don't want to make it by myself." Although I agree that this is a very different kind of decision than for me to have a vasectomy, I fail to see how I factor into this decision. While I can express my opinion (hint, it's the same as it was when I decided to get the ol' snip-snip) and tell her that she will have my support whatever she decides, SHE is the one who will decide. Two people can't make a democratic decision, so is it really OUR choice?

Both these dreams happened earlier this year. They both seem to have had a suggestive effect on me. The first was a dream in which I was smoking a cigarette, as if it was natural to my person. I have never been a smoker. I've tried them before but don't like them; I do smoke tobacco in other methods though. Now I notice that since the dream, cigarette ads catch my eye more and I've even found myself thinking that I want one!

The other one was from first person perspective also and I was performing oral s*x (don't want to get this banned, I hope it isn't inappropriate) on a female. I am a female and have never done that before. However the thought crosses my mind now that I might want to try that some time. I am in a very satisfying, loving and stable relationship with my husband of 2 years. I've been with him for a total of 6 years. I don't doubt that I am pleased by him in that way, so I'm wondering why I would have a dream like this & the other one. Any thoughts?

i'm a woman, and i just drew attention to something that other women do that is self-serving. and i get someone asserting that i must be male.
why is that?
are women not allowed to call each other on their misbehavior? it can only be a man that finds fault with women?
doesn't that feed into the whole "gender war" thing? if you're not 100% in agreement, then you must be a man?

comments?

Has anyone else experienced this?
Most parents I come across show an immense interest in the lives of their kids, from what they're studying in school, to where they're working, who they're dating, etc.
My parents seem to show absolutely no interest in our lives. It was as though they were completely oblivious to the fact that, surprise surprise, kids grow up, and we won't always just want to play catch in the backyard.
It goes further than that though. They're downright dead-weights. My brother is marrying into an Italian family next year, and the first thing out of my mother's mouth was a complaint about the location -- barely any congratulations!
Anyone else struggle with parents who seem inconvenienced to have children? Both of them make great money. Additionally, they haven't put any money aside for our weddings, educations, etc.
I'm independent and can manage on my own two feet, but it's simply about the fact that they don't seem to really care. It's a HASSLE for them.

For example: If i'm with my friends who i love and adore, and a new person comes into the group, whether this person is just stopping by or mingling with us for an extended amount of time, i tend to shy away from that person. However, i also feel slight jealousy to be honest, i hate that feeling, but it's hard to shake it off. I don't speak my mind out or make it obvious that i'm jealous though, for example i won't go and make the new person's life a living hell or annoy that person because i'm jealous, i'll carry on as normal, but inside, i feel slightly jealous.

If you had a chance to change something about the world, what would it be and why?

Me, I would like to see everybody receive a good education. I don't it's right that people have to suffer their wholes lives when education can open new doors for them. If everybody had a chance to receive a free education of a good caliber, the world would be a much better place.

In times, I used to throw lots of paper sheets into the bin.

And in order not to occupy too much space, I started folding paper... tearing it... and finally throwing it into the bin...

Since those times, I developed a strange quirk.

Very often I grab a piece of paper and I fold (and unfold) it, or I roll (and unroll) it.

I can't stay a very long time without doing this...

I often pick fliers in public places to 'satisfy my quirk'...

Very few people have made remarks to me about this, and no one has ever made a big deal out of this.

But my mother says this is abnormal, and I should see a psychiatrist.

Do you think this is that sick?

Let's look at this topic from a different perspective. Let's look at pregnancy as a family affair, as opposed man vs woman issue, calling it "family leave." There are two reasons for a woman to have time off: bonding with the newborn & medical conditions. Then the man would have two reasons for time off also: bonding with the newborn & taking care of wife while she's having the medical conditions.

I'm highly disturbed when people deny the effects of pregnancy on a woman's body but a good husband would also see that as a "family affair" and would want to stay home to take care of the home and wife. This way both would get equal amount of time off, however, some of this time would be to take care of the wife (yes, I need the specific acknowledgement and entitlement to know the time is being given to him specificially to take care ME, damn it! LOL).

I have never been in that situation so this is actually a new topic to me.
