just wondering how I can talk to her , my friend of 5 yrs , had gottan married about 1 yr ago she had gottan pregnant before hand because her husband was going into the navy and he didnt want her to cheat ( which she does and did anyway, i know i hang out with her ) ok so she has this beautiful baby girl and moves to his base in alabama , things between them did not work out. so she moved back about 4 months ago by the way this is ALSO my boyfriends sister.
she's 22 and constantly pushing her kid on me or him , she never has money but she says she'll pay us 20 bucks to watch the kid for the night or whatever ..we are still waiting lol for that 20 from 4 months ago . basically she smokes alot of pot , she never gives the kid a bath or puts clothes on her , and shes been messing around with alot of guys which she also is trying to find a " new daddy " , child services did come out to check up on her baby. when shes not smoking up shes doing perks (pills) or oxys , she lets anyone and everyone change her daughters diapers and honeslty she needs a job im just putting everything out there because Iver grown to love this little girl she starting to talk .i just dont want to see her get taken away an i want my friend to realize shes a mother. shes always asking me why we dont hang out anymore and its 2 reasons 1 i have a life other than partying 2 she has a kid ...but she has brought the kid to park concerts , bars , partys , i just want to know how i can talk to her because she gets very moody when i bring up the topic she also starts to cry saying " shes trying and her life sucks "
me and my boyfriend (her brother) try to understand that its not our child but its hard to ignore wrong and right . he's the one teaching her how to say hello and i love you , she calls him daddy it breaks our heart because we both want to help as much as we can but not be takin advantage of , at 7am in the morning shes blaring the radio full volume on with the kid sitting in front of it instead of doing this like I dont know readding to her. the kid is constantly getting diaper rashes where its bloody because she doesnt change the diaper quick enough an sometimes there too tight I just honestly wish shes get it .


This is a long story so I will shorten it up. Bit by doing this it will sound ruthless and heartless. Like I did not care at all. I guess behind the drugs and pain, I didn't. The hardest thing to understand is that I did care, just so addicted to the drugs that the addiction was all that mattered at the time.
Most of my life I have been an addict. Twenty-eight years as a matter of fact.In that time I was blessed with. Two beautiful daughters, three beautiful grand-children, the love of my life, the life and death of my mother. All the gifts that I just mentioned, somehow, someway; I destroyed, complicated, hurt, left alone, broke their hearts, lied to them, spoke terrible words to them all. I deeply regret saying any of them to any of my loved one's. The worst of the spoken words I spoke to my mom a week later she died. Never got to say sorry, I did not mean those words mom. She took care of my children while I was in prison and I allowed drugs (once again) to steal not only my life but the life of my family. She died hearing those words to horrible to repeat over and over (I am assuming because that is what I would do) and her biggest fear came true because of me... she died while her daughter was a drug addicted prostitute. That is how she remembers me, and the words I screamed at her.
My oldest daughter had a real good first part of her life. I was not a bad drug addict and still had family morals and values that I let nothing jade. However the youngest had less of a childhood life. She got to see me go from normal mom to crack hoe! So did my oldest they both should have never been subjected to that life. My youngest is in foster care because of my shelfishness of addiction. My oldest has inheiriated my unfonituate genes. She is an addict and bi-polar, just lost her three to CPS, I say it coming, but could not tell her any better. I can not help think that if she had better teaching (mom in her life as a child)maybe she would have better (or any) tools(life coping skills) to work with.
My husband, best friend, and thanks to me I am his worst enemy (I hate myself for this too) I put this man through h*ll. The first years were great, strong relationship, then I happened. I left him (my whole family) and went to smoke crack, pretty soon I needed another way to get money. So I sarted prostituing (never in a million years) I still can not believe I did it, but I did. He would take me back (but with rage and hard, hard words) which I expected some kind of anger, after all look what a I did! I would get mad at his words and leave go back to the streets. This process was repeated about 7 times. He always took me back, but displaying more and more hate on the flick of a switch.
I am in college now, off the streets, talk to my daughters, (haven't seen g-babies in a while) I feel that I have changed a great amount in the short time change has been an issue in my life (5 years). I live with my husband, we have our own rooms, I pay the bills and he provides everything else for me that I need. I love this man, and he tells me daily how much he hates me and how I ruint his life. But then in the next instance he loves me and worries about me. He is sure to point out what I was and Who I hurt and all the bad I want left behind me. I have really thought about trying suicide again, but....

I guess my question is, "Can a person who has done so many terrible things in their life that not only affects them but family as well forgive themselves? What if the terrible things done( in the past) are an almost everyday anouncement when I do something wrong. Things throwed in about past actions , reminded of the thing I am most ashamed of as well as sorry for, or either,never will be anything but that sorry person I was (so I am told). Is it me that is having trouble forgiving or a family member??/


He lives with his mother in a one bedroom apartment. I wold let her sleep there only on friday night and saturday night and get her back early sunday morning. he promised to put up her toddler bed up and still hasnt. I gave him a sofa bed so when she is there she can sleep in it and him during the week when she is not. come to find out he started sleeping in bed with her and now she hates her room and her bed and try's to climb into my bed. I fight with her until almost 1a.m. till i cant take her crying and kicking me that i give up and there she is in my room in my bed. My second biggest thing is that the other day we went there to sign her up for dance classes and me and my daughter walked in to finding him smoking weed in the apartment! Then shortly after that a women I haven't seen in years approached me telling me how cute my daughter is. I was confused how she saw her. Here she was at his my mom's apartment while my daughter was there at 4:00a.m. smoking weed and my daughter woke up and stayed outside with them. I am tired of all of this yes, my daughter loves her father, but i dont want her sleeping there and i wish sometimes he'd get caught. He loves his daughter but what is he teaching her and I am not any better for her going there. I dont know what to do?


I have been with my husband for 6 years, married for 4. We have 2 beautiful daughters, aged 3.5 and 1 month old. Here is my issue. My husband and I have been having issues for a while. He isn't abusive, and he is a wonderful father, he is just lacking in the emotional and physical department. We never kiss on the mouth(he says it is because I smoke), and we haven't had sex in 1.5 months. I did have a cection a month ago, so we can't have sex anyway. He doesn't even talk to me. I am a stay at home mom, and have been since I was pregnant with our first. We do not have any friends, so he or I don't go anywhere unless we are together. Our life consists of him going to work everyday, me taking care of the girls 24/7, and going to walmart and out to dinner. I can't take this **** anymore. I don't get it, I have lost all of pregnancy weight in 3 weeks, and still I don't even get touched. No, I don't look like I did before I got pregnant 4 years ago, but neither does he. Why wouldn't my husband talk to me or touch me. No, I'm positive he isn't having an affair, and he isn't addicted to porn. He does play the playstation 3 for more than what I would like him to. We fight constantly, mostly about the two dogs. We have 2 boxers that stink up the house so bad. the 8 month old boxer chews on everything and is ruining my house. and I get stuck cleaning it. I have to have a clean house or I freak out. He doesn't care if it is dirty or not. I clean all the time, and he does nothing to help.He has even said that if I wanted to leave go ahead, because he isn't getting rid of dogs. He doesn't understand that me and the girls will be here a hell of alot longer than they will, and he won't have child support on the dogs. I am tired of being sad, crying, and cleaning 24/7. This has been going on for atleast 2 years. The no intimacy is killing me. I have even contemplated an affair to get his attention, but I don't know anyone to have an affair with, that is how bad it is. Should I just not care? He does work 6-3 everyday, provides well for us, and is a great father. I feel like we aren't good together. I will say, we wouldn't be married if I didn't get pregnant with our first, that I'm sure of. What should I do? And would I get custody since I am a stay at home mom? My 1 month old is exclusively breastfed, so she can't be with him. I know he is a great father, but we need to be happy together, or we will never teach our girls a thing.

Additional Details
Just wanted to add, I have smoked since the day I met him, he never had a problem with it, just within the last year. I only smoke 3-5 a day, and only right after I nurse. We are both good looking people, it isn't like we are fat ugly slobs. We should be having sex more often.Atleast kissing and cuddling. Our ages are 23(me) and 27.

Say you are sitting at your sister's house, chatting with her as her 6 year old daughter and your 5 year old daughter play. Your sister calls her daughter over and tells her to "go get Mommy a cigarette" from the kitchen. The girl leaves the room and comes back a couple of minutes later carrying a lit cigarette. You don't see her take a puff, but after she hands it to her mom, she looks at your daughter and exhales a big cloud of smoke. You ask your sister about this, and she says that it is no big deal, that she taught the girl how to do it a year ago and sometimes lets her light 20 or more in a day, and says "Everyone thinks it is just so cute!"

And then what do you tell your child when she wants to do it? That 5 is not old enough to work a lighter? Let's say that your daughter was supposed to spend the weekend with them, but you just know they will let her smoke, and if your daughter is going to try a cigarette, you are by God going to be there to see it when it happens!

So what would you do? Obviously, you can't call the county, because it is your own sister, and if the kid wound up in foster care, smoking would be the least of the dangers she would face.

I did this for my mom a lot when I was a kid. It is how I started smoking, in fact.

Those who would turn their sister in - are you truly not aware of what happens to many little girls in foster care? You would rather see your little niece raped and abused than allowed her to inhale a little smoke?
Witchy, I apologize for stereotyping foster families. The vast majority are wonderful people. Like you said, it is the shameful few who get the attention of the media and the public.
Still, I don't this particular situation warrants a parent losing their child.

Of course I have smoked, and remember, this is an imaginary situation. Good answers so far, though - kinda.

What if your mom had let you light cigarettes for her when you were a child? Would you go around claiming to be a victim of child abuse, or would you remember those times fondly? I remember that when my mom let me light cigarettes for her, I thought it was great, and that I was lucky.
Lauren, you are absolutely right. It was not my intention to disparage foster parents. Almost all of them are fine people, taking care of children who desperately need help. It is the shameful few who get the media exposure. Still I don't think that this situation would warrant a mother losing her child.


im afraid my mom wont let me wear any. because a day ago, my moms friend was asking her that he daughter, my friend, wants to wear makeup and shes like 11... and then so my mom was like
"oh, idk... im not really a makeup person and i wouldnt want for my kid to wear makeup because all the chemicals they use can harm skin. but definately dont discourage her... maybe let her practice putting on and taking off makeup at night on the weekends and you know how it is when you wanted to fit in at that age."
and i overheard the whole convo and now im kinda like "ehhh... should i ask her for a little makeup cuz what if she doesnt let me..."
i think if i ask her shell think i want makeup just to fit in and then shell say like "ohhh i dont want you wearing makeup just to fit in" and then shell be talking like "oh i dont want you to feel pressured to wear makeup just cuz popular girls do that"
and when in fact shes the one pressuring me and making me feel more sad because im almost positive she wont let me wear a little makeup cuz shell think itll damage my skin.

and i dont want makeup to fit in.
i really dont want to fit in...
all i want is to be more of a girl, and makeup would make me feel more girly.

im not sure that shell let me cuz shell think "ohhh... i remember when i wanted to wear makeup and smoke and shit when i was 14" and it seems to me like all the time, like when i ask her for something (e.i. gynmastics or acting) she would makeup an exuse like "oh i wanted to do that too" and those dreams died out of course cuz no one cared.
so what if she doesnt let me..
im almost sure shed be like "what???? im not sure... why do you want makeup???"

i mean wtf am i supposed to say???
"BECAUSE I JUST DO... Y CANT I??"
i think she thinks that ill be lazy to take itoff at night. WELL NO IM NOT!
im almost sure she wont let me...
should i still ask her although she might not let me???
im 99.99999999999999% sure shell be like "no... i remeber i used to wear it blah blah and gramma told me and i didnt listen blah blah blaH" and then she tries to teach me but wtf?!! lemme do watever i want. its my life and let me do my mistakes. ill learn from them later.

plus ill tell her wont wear makeup everyday just sometimes if shes SOOOOOOO worried about my skin.
and i definately dont any eye shadow and all that crap. ALL i want is eyeliner and mascara. DONE!!!
is it worth a try??!


So Mothers day happened.
I was very grateful to have my husband with me and my 18 month old daughter. So we went to see his mother who lives 2 and a half hours a way. We did everything for her, took her out and did everything she wanted. She is sooo annoying, nags all the time and always preaches about what to do even though she is not at all practicing what she preaches nor ever has.( I don't like her all that much and can only handle her in doses.) I am not mad that we went to see her but that we didn't really do anything for me. Last year we spent Mothers day with her and did nothing for me and then this year. She never ever comes out to see us and always lays guilt trips because we don't come out their often. My husband can barely even stand being around his mom beacuse she is a "psychic" pot smoking hypocrite but obviously loves her because she is his mom. I have an 18 month old and I am 5 months pregnant and I was just hoping for him to do something for me since my daughter is too young to do something. (He never does anything like that unless I mention it to him, he has never really had a stable fun filled life and thinks this stuff is somewhat pointless. I mean I don't want a gift or anything I just want to be acknowledged like I matter. He was very nice to me and stuff and I am glad but it just disappointed me a bit. His mom never took care of the boys very well from what I hear and was a very horrible role model, you can see it in them so I feel that she doesn't deserve to be worshipped. I dunno am I being selfish? I sure darn feel like it, I am important too, I know he works and provides for us, but I take care of his daughter, teach her and stuff plus I am caring his other child.
also.. I know "pot smoking" is a common thing but she is off the wire a bit.. paranoid and always saying far fetched stuff.. that is why I use it in a negative way. Plus my husband and I are recovering addicts and we really think pot smoking is a waste of air lol .


I'm 36 and the last born, she is 38 and a first born. She grew up on a farm with two sisters, no brothers (dad wanted boys) and was told she would never be as good as a boy. I work a compressed work week Sun, Mon, Tue and every other Wed. She leaves much of the house work for me to do on my days off. She complains constantly about the house not being clean enough and that I just don't care about the house. Anyone who visits our house would agree that it is very clean all the time. Except her piles of stuff laying around that she is "going to take care of"
I cook, I take care of our daughter, (age 10), I don't drink or smoke, I exercise and take care of my body and I make good money. She never misses an opportunity to put me down or insult me in front of my friends, she is never in the mood, she yells at me and our daughter over the smallest issues, she will won't lift a finger to help me with anything, her TV shows are always more important than the family, she doesn't have any real friends, she always wants to take on my guy sports and try to show the boys up, so I rarely get to go do guy trips without her or a guilt trip that she had to work and I got to have fun. She went to school for accounting and thinks she is the authority on money, yet she can't save a dime. Ok you can say it, I'm a pussy for putting up with it or not divorcing her. If I put up a fight she will just dig in fight more, no amount of logic or professional advice will sway her. She thinks her yelling and inability to talk over issues without a fight is normal and everyone isn't as happy as I think they are. I love my daughter and hate putting her through this. It is just teaching her how to be a bitch like her mom. I would have divorced her long ago if it were not for my daughter. Oh, yeah, the wife's parents divorced when the last kid was out of the the house.
What am I dealing with in her personality and how do I get her to see what a crap head she is? Should I video tape her so she can hear herself scream about how I drank too much of the pot of coffee she made and today unlike every day she wanted two cups of coffee.


alright, I am 14 years old, in grade 9. My family used to be so close, so good. Everything was perfect, up until June 2008...I used to do my whole family's laundry every single weekend, i would do their dishes, clean the house, i went to school everyday, did all my homework, they loved me. In June 2008 I started dating my current boyfriend Rick..Rick grew up in a life opposite mine, he had been smoking cigarettes since he was 10, he did weed, esctasy and he was into alcohol. I helped him out of all of it, hes doing so well in school now and he only does weed(nothing else) every once in a while. Rick taught me that i am not my family's slave, i am their daughter, and i have an older sister. He taught me to put myself first, now, i do MY laundry...i do MY dishes, I clean the house sometimes, but i always clean my messes....now they all hate me. I am nowhere near good enough for them, i go to school every day, unlike my sister, i have a job, i do my homework, unlike mysister, i cook and clean for myself, unlike my sister...but i am also home less, i leave the house for school at 6:45am everyday and my curfew is 11:00pm. i go to Rick's house everyday after school....now, apparently i have so much attitude, im rude, disprespectful, i'll do the dishes and get yelled at because its not my mess, so i stop doing them and get yelled at because im being lazy and not helping out...
My mom calls me a bitch all the time, my sister tells me i need to start acting more like her and everything. They hate me, they tell me im not good enough on a daily basis, i try so hard to please them, but now i have just given up....I am not sure what to do because i am stuck living here for three more years until Rick and i get our house, (which we can afford now but we're too young)
Is there any way i can deal with this until i leave?
to: Just A Dad...
see, everything was perfect for my family members, not me. I did everything for them, now because im not there to be their slave they're making my life a living hell....like when i am with him, he makes me feel so good about myself, when i do things for him im appreciated for it same with his family. I grew up in a european household where you do everything for everyone or else you are worthless. I would rather be nothing than their daughter. Iread all the answers and they helped...ive tried talking to them, they don't understand, they just want Rick out of here, but he isn't going anywhere. I decided i would rather have no food, no money, no house, nothing than live with them. I love Rick and his family, they love me too, so my blood family can go fuck themselves. Thanks everyone who answered, you helped me alot.
and my mom isn't trying to reach out to me, she is putting me out of her life, she only wants me when she needs something, so i said fuck it. a�?


Ever since I was little I have had a loving mom who is always there for me---sometimes more than I would like though. I know I should be happy because some people grow up without any parental support but sometimes I feel smothered. Is this wrong of me? When I was little I wasnt able to do a lot of the things other kids did. we never went out many places and Ive never been on a vacation to anywhere yet alone left the area that I live in further than a 4 hour drive. I used to want to do things outside as a kid like climb trees or splash my feet in the mud on a rainy day but my mom would freak out and say I would break my arm or catch pneumonia and I wasnt allowed. For this many people have always told me that is part of why I am like I am today. Im sort of like chuckie from the rugrats (if anyone remembers that show) where he is very worried and always the one to say "well I dont know about that" and I hardly take necessary risks in life because Im too afraid. Normally I try to just go ahead and do everything mom tells me to do- mainly because Im her daughter and that's what a good daughter should do. but sometimes I get annoyed and don't do what she says- especially in the past few years and here I am about to turn 21 this year (yes, I still live at home, I have a job and go to college but my job isnt enough to support me on my own and my mom would most likely take it as a personal strike against her if I were to leave without going off with a husband or something). For example: I try to help around the house by cleaning the dishes or vaccuming the floor but it's never good enough for her. She looks at it and will knit pick every little thing about it. When I wash dishes she says I didnt do it right because I didnt do it the same way she does it (same with ironing clothes---we both get the SAME end result- but I just do it in a way that is easier for me and faster---just that I dont do it the way she did it and the way her mother taught her doesnt mean it's the right way for me). So she rewashes the dishes or revacumes the floor. This just makes me not even see a point in helping out around the house and I end up not doing it. Ive also gotten into a bad habit lately. I get on the internet late at night and stay on there til about 3 or 4 in the morning and I end up sleeping in until 12 in the afternoon. Though I do believe that it's up to me what I want to do and I tell her that- but every time i sleep in she comes in the room begging me to wake up and saying tings like "you're so lazy, you gotta get up- you're not the same little girl I used to know- you've changed, you used to be an early bird n wake up early every morning. I dont know what happened to you. there IS something wrong with you- I KNOW there is- tell me what it is." and I tell her that I would have 2 make something up and it would be a lie because I couldnt think of anything wrong with me other than her nagging me every morning to get up when she wants me to. I know she cares about me- but Im responsible- if I gotta get up- I'll get up- I always prepare for things or am able to get up n be ready if I have to- but if I can sleep in I do it lately. and she gets sad and teary eyed and says " I dont even see you anymore- you're always in this room. You must not like me anymore, you dont like being around me" and all this stuff. The thing is- I have this room that is sort of like my bedroom but it's called the playroom. I have gaming stuff in here and a computer and all the commodities that I like to do. My dad watches the TV in the living room and puffs a thick cloud of cigg smoke in there so I never want to be in that room anyway. There really isnt much to do at our house so I get bored and this room is just my escape. Mom is normally sleeping because she worked too much or she's in the kitchen cooking or cleaning or cussing out my dad (they dont have a good marriage- my dad is a lazy bum who will never do anything unless mom helps him and that makes them both angry. My mom has to put up with a lot with my dad and prolly from me too because I stay in this room all the time- but I do cmoe out- I eat dinner at the table with her we go out together sometimes. Lotsa my friends have moved out of their house and are on their own now and my mom is worried that I dont talk to her enough. I mean---maybe I dont- Im just so confused. I feel terrible. Like the other day I felt terrible. I wanted something 2 eat but there was nothing at the house- the original plan was for me 2 buy food out but then my brother and everyone wanted to join in (mom, my brother, and me) and go on a take-out run together. I know how that normally goes- something happens and someone gets mad (normally my brother) and he ends up cussing us all out saying something like "f*cking hate all of you" or something that he ends up regretting later (he has temper problems) and mom and I get our feelings hurt and none of us have a good time (my brother is 24 btw). So I was hoping we could have
wow- sad part is this is only half of what I typed on here originally XD musta been so long it had a character limit!!! anyways. yea : ( I like what you said (first comment guy XD). I just needed somebody to tell me Im not crazy (in respect) and agree with me on why she's like that and stuff. I need to try n be better- but wow @_@ it can be really agrivating sometimes XD Tho I can only imagine what it's like for her 2. just wish she cud understand me sometimes----it deleted the parts that I said about having no privacy at home (her snoopin thru all my stuff to find anything negative about me XD) hahaha.


We've started having some troubles with one of my kindergartener's friend's parents.

I'm a former teenage mommy. I'm now in my mid-20s. I own my home. I have professional employment, at which I've been pretty successful. I hold an Associate's degree and am continuing my education in pursuit of a Bachelor's. I'm now re-married, but when my daughter was little, I did it alone. My parents were not in a position, financially, to help me and her father walked away. Excluding WIC and 2 months of Food Stamps when she was first born and I was transitioning into motherhood, I have never received any kind of state aid.
I don't party. I don't drink or smoke. I have often done without so my daughter could have what she needed first. I've done my best to teach her good manners and how to behave and treat other people. She's cleaned, well-loved, and cared for.
This other family is more prominent and have never had to want for anything. They have a very sweet daughter and she and my little girl enjoy spending time together at school. When I recently suggested we should try to get them together during their fall break to play, I was more or less told that I was not the kind of influence they want their daughter to be around (because of being such a young mom and my "mistakes" of the past). It hurt me, but I let it go. It wasn't worth any kind of additional drama and at least our daughters had the playground at school to be together.
Today, my daughter comes home from school crying and tells me her friend told her they can't play anymore and that her friend got in trouble for playing with her. When my daughter asked this little girl why the little girl told her it was because her mother (me) is a "wh*re" and "makes bad choices."
I'm fighting the urge to call them and let them know how I feel about the situation, but I'm afraid it will only make things worse. Advice?
These people know of my situation because the daughter's father used to attend church with my father before my father switched churches.


My son suffers from allergies. There has not been anything specific but when he goes to his mom's home on the weekends she comes back coughing, weezing and sometimes quite sick. He has been to the dr. and he has believes it is smokers, ragweed and such. He is also asthmatic but has only had a couple of issues with that. He is taking allergy medication but it doesnt seem to help. his mom has 2 large dogs, a gerbil and lives with a smoker (her mom) in an old moldy house. I know the smoking is a issue and has been for several years since he was around his grandmother.
Anyway my home is quite clean no animals and I run air cleaners and have never had a smoker inside. The kids are with me most of the time. My kids played with a ferret and fell in love with it. ( I did too) I grew up on a farm and have alway had animals but for the last 8 years. I would love to get them a ferret to have as a pet and teach the kids responsibility and commitment. I am worried about my son's health. Is there anything I can do to help prevent the possible allergens. Do Hepa filters, UV cleaners, Bathing and such help? Or is it a bad idea all together. I am open to any suggestions so fire way!
Thanks
I live in an apartment. It is a large apartment. We will take it outside a lot but bathe it at least weekly.


ok she accued me of making her son fight with her, teaching her grandchild bad words, making the grandchild not give her a hug, smoking for 2 years, hving sex with guys, purposely openning the door so my bf hears her fighting with me, being fake, not actually taking care of her grandchild (just letting her do whatever she wants and not watching her), steling her brush, stealing things from her bedroom (which she later found out that her daughter misplaced it and didn't even apologize), and so many other sick things that make me puke!!!! so, she is now trying to break me and my bf up. she really said a lot of stuff that weren't true. so, i want to play a prank on her. she owns a drycleaning store and she's 50 yrs old. what do u think i should do to her??? want it to be funny but i don't want her to know it's me. i also don't want to do anything illegal.
thanks!

Today my 2yr old daughter did her worse act ever. I was in my room when I heard my brother yelling for my daughter to hurry out of the kitchen. I ran to see that my little girl had put one of her dolls in the broiler part under the oven and it caught on fire when my mom started baking a cake. My brother told me all he saw was smoke and then a big fire come from underneath followed by a nasty smell of burnt plastic. Lately i've been noticing she's been a little theif as to taking things and hiding them in weird places, hence under the stove. I didn't get mad at my daughter cause I know she doesn't know better, but is there certain child locks that can lock it up or how can I teach her to don't do that so she won't catch the house on fire next time!

When they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things.

The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, "To the kitchen." She asked, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" He replied, "Sure." She then asked him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" He said, "No, I can remember that."

She then said, "Well I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you'll forget that." He said, "I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." She replied, "Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down."

With irritation in his voice, he said, "I don't need to write that down! I can remember that." He then fumes into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: "I TOLD you to write it down! You forgot my toast!"

The owner says, "I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. I've never given anything away for nothing. However, if you go around the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint my porch, I will give you a good meal."

So the hobo goes around back and a while later he again knocks on the door. The owner says, "Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will bring your meal right in."

The hobo says, "Thank you very much, sir. But there's something that I think you should know. It's not a Porsche you got there. It's a BMW."

This is why I didn't show up for work yesterday. I was cleaning out my wife's grandpa's cellar and found 12 bottles of his home-bottled grape wine under the steps. My wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else. I agreed to do the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork form the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle, did likewise, and drank one glass, just to check the taste to see if the old fellow knew his wine making. He did.

I then opened the third bottle, and poured it, too, down the sink, but not until drinking one full glass to check the purity. It was very good. I did this, also with the fourth bottle. One glass for myself, and the rest down the sink. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next, and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle, then corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were 29, and as the house came by I counted them again, and finally had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I felt so foolish that I couldn't go upstairs and congratulate my wife to tell her what a great winemaker her grandpa was. I will do that after climbing the basement steps the next time they come by.

The widow takes a look at her dear departed one right before the funeral and, to her horror, finds that he's in his brown suit. She'd specifically said to the undertaker that she wanted him buried in his blue suit; she'd brought it especially for that occasion, and she was distressed that the mortician had left him in the same brown suit he'd been wearing when the lightning bolt hit him.

She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought especially for that purpose. The undertaker said, "But madam! It's only a minute or two until the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in that amount of time.

The lady said, "Who's paying for this?" Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled the coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later. Miraculously, the corpse was in a blue suit.

After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the smooth and speedy service. She especially wanted to know how he'd been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast. The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy. It happens that there was another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit. All we had to do was switch heads!

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.

"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post.

He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

A guy sticks his head in the barber shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop and says, "About two hours." The guy leaves. A few days later, the same guy sticks his head in the door and asks, "How long before I get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop full of customers and says, "About two hours." The guy leaves.

The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, "Hey Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes." In a little while, Bill comes back into the shop laughing hysterically. The barber asks, "Bill, where did he go when he left here?" Bill looked up and said, "To your house."

A man walked into the office of the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Von Bernuth, and sat down to explain his problem. "Doctor, doctor!" he started. "No need to repeat yourself, my good man," replied the doctor. "One 'doctor' is enough." "Yes, well, you see, I've got this problem," the man continued. "I keep hallucinating that I'm a dog. A large, white, hairy Pyrenees mountain dog. It's crazy. I don't know what to do!"

"A common canine complex," said the doctor soothingly. "Come over here and lie down on the couch." "Oh no, Doctor. I'm not allowed up on the furniture."

Once there was a millionaire, who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single.

One day, the millionaire decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars, or my daughter, to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!" As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large splash in the pool. The guy in the pool was swimming with all his might, and the crowd began to cheer him on. Finally, he made it to the other side of the pool unharmed.

The millionaire was impressed. He said, "That was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well, I must keep my end of the bargain. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?" The guy catches his breath, then says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the asshole who pushed me in the pool!"

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a super market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only half. The boy explained that he would have to ask the manager and so he walked into the back room and said, "There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the request and the man went on his way. Later on the manager said to the boy, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from, son?" The boy replied, "Minnesota, sir." "Oh, really? Why did you leave Minnesota?" inquired the manager. The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there." "My wife is from Minnesota", exclaimed the manager. The boy instantly replied, "Really! What team did she play for?"

A man went to a pet shop and bought a talking parrot. He took the parrot home, and tried to teach the parrot how to say a few things, but instead the parrot just swore at him. After a few hours of trying to teach the bird finally the man said "If you don't stop swearing I'm going to put you in the freezer as punishment." The parrot continued, so finally the man put the bird in the freezer. About an hour later the parrot asked the man to please open the door. As the man took the shivering bird out of the freezer it said "I promise to never swear again. Just tell me what that turkey did!"
I Have no Idea what happened here!!

SORRY


i should start with an explanation. My boyfriend's mom lives in san diego, me and my boyfriend in cincinnati. His sisters (16&13 yrs old) came back a month last year to visit their dad. I"m extremely close with his sisters, they call everyday, and tell me everything about their lives.

Well, one day his oldest sister and i went dancing at a teen dance club, and we came back late, probably around 3.. and i stayed over their house because i didn't want to wake up my entire family. When i told my boyfriends mother this story she complained and said she had taught her daughters "not to sleep around" and i was a horrible example. Basically she called me a wh**e.

But, my boyfriend was already sleeping when we got home, and we had been together two years. I don't drink or smoke, or do any drugs.. and i'm 19, he's 21. Not what i consider a bad example

Was she right to say what she said to me? He won't talk to her now for what she said to me. Should i apologize or was she wrong?
also, i work very hard to keep this woman pleased. I send her pictures of her son, and keep her updated what's going on with his life. I remind him to call her/ send her cards and gifts. All the rest of his family loves me... i have tried my hardest.. did i really screw up?
By the way, 3AM was totally okay with both parents, we called both and told them it would be a late night and asked if that was okay.


i'm only 33 and all i'm been told is hang in there times a great healer she'll need you again soon yes maybe so but what am i suppose to do in the meantime sit back and wait and watch holding my breath am i not entitled to a life and a little happiness.. i want a better life instead of the mess i'm in now stuck in a louzy area around louzy people who have no ambition to do anything apart from eat drink and smoke themselfs to death.. i need to set an example to my daughter before it is too late i want to leave this town i'm in get a job and build something for us before it is totally too late.. my mom was too soft wiht me and let me have anything i wanted i was never taught to work for anything or appreciate anything i have qualifications i've proved to myself i'm capable of something i want to put them to good use and continue learning but i'm too affraid of losing my family altogether if i went off to start a better life where theres work would i be selfish for doing that?

i just got out of my mum's house (not entirely), cause she keeps pushing me to do things that i can't do e.g. like going back to court for access for my 8 month old daughter which i already had, but she wants her for herself without my fiance around her.

now i can't go back home after i got the call, i got nowhere to stay but my dad's.

i'm like 19 years old turning 20 next month and i still love my mum but her anger is out of control

then my fiance is about to live in adelaide which i want to go but if i do my mum will wipe me


so my daughters bio dad was court ordered so to speak over 6 years ago to pay child support for them, but has found a loop hole and has never paid anything because he is on ssi so they said they will see if he ever holds a job then they can take money from him but until that time his back debt just keeps going up..
yes i have inquired on this even though it dont seem right, ive even taking a rep with me and found out the same thing.

ok so my actual question is, i found out he maybe getting married...
if he gets married to a woman who is employed, does that mean that her money..which then will be their money..
can i start to recieve child support finally or am i wrong????


i had a dream that i was talking with my friend. and she was phycic somehow,(we're 13 in this dream btw).
in my dream she told me i would have 6 kids in the future and i just gave her a wierd look.
THEN, my dream shifted and i was married, (in my early twenties). it was supposedly the night after my wedding. and i'm still in my wedding dress and my husband in his tux. we were lying on a luxurious bed, just staring at the cieling exhausted from the day's events with our arms spread out. then in my dream, i told him, "i want our first child to be a boy." (btw, i've normally always wanted a girl, as my 1st child, so that was wierd.)
then my dream shifted once more and i was in front of the 99cent store, in my dream, the 99 cent store was a good store. i walked in with my 18 year old son, (who was blind). and we were looking at some clothes for him. i asked him "do want me to choose your clothes, or do you want ot?" and thats when my son was like my dad at the same time, but with the same face. he said. "i want to take nothing to guatemala>" i told him that didn't matter,(to my son again) and then he started feeling the clothes when my daughter(of 7 or8) and she got my hand and dragged me to aanother section of the store. this place was full of girly stuff, my son followed close behind.

then i woke up.


Honestly life is pissing me off honestly I have no friends If I go out I go out with my parents which this sucks badly. I used to have friends but ever since I tried to commit suicide in high school everyone suddenly stopped talking to me I try to change I try everything I go to work still and school but when I want to make myself busy its like im not happy at all. God sometimes i wished I didnt failed my suicide at first. I wanted because everybody was always teasing me because I was different and such thats the whole reason in all not much else to say. I have a lot of anger inside of me. No one answers when I try to talk to them . I feel like crying so badly like I wanna run away or something. Im not happy at all . I try to be but inside I'm not. My best friend doesnt believe in my dreams she is like my mother she doesnt support my dreams she doesnt think I can go far in life only my dad believes and tries everything so I can be happy he always asked me i m y happy i want my daughter to be happy i try to be happy for them no one else but it is hard when your not. What is wrong with me these days its halloween soon and im not going to school because im not interested i used to be insterested not anymore. Nothing interests me these days because I have no friends everytime i try to make a friend it doesnt last long i try to be nice but i feel i am annoying them (people in general) . I dunno what to do sometimes i just feel like im already dead to a lot of people.


when i was 5 to 11 my mom gave me an alcohol bottle to help me go to sleep, was that the right choice?


p.s. she stopped because my dad said it was unnatural.


I am a little worried because my dad's family has a long history of having Cancer. My 7 year old is also battling with Osteosarcoma. Well for the past month I have been having diarrhea with mucas. And it is like everything that I eat it goes right through me. Then after about 3 weeks of diarrhea I get constipated but it is a light color with a little bit of whitish to cream color. Other problems that I have been having is I have been hurting on my left side of my middle stomach. When my daughter sat on it I could not stand it, sometimes it feels like I have a ball moving around in my stomach. My joints have been hurting after I walk a little bit and also I have been feeling so drained and tired. I also have allot of these little tiny red dots on my chest, arms. Now they are coming out on my stomach and legs. I don't know what is going on and I am very worried. I have a doctors appointment but not until like 3 weeks from now. Somebody please help me as I am confused if I should go into the ER or just wait for the appointment. My sons Cancer doctor said that she thought that the red dots are that pitinki eye thing that means that you have low platelets. Thank you for reading my story.


Ok, so here's the deal. My daughter is 3 months old and her biological father has not been in the picture except for 3 days after she was born he came to the hospital and seen her for an hour. He was not placed on the birth certificate (noone was) and he has no rights or visitation... have dont have DNA done or anything thru court done. I've would like to now place my boyfriend who has been me since I was 2 months pregnant with her, and who I will soon marry on the birth certiciate and give her his last name........ The bio dad doesn't have any rights to say if this can happen or not, correct? Since he does not have any legal rights to sign over, and in the eyes of thet law doesn't exist as a parent to her?


me and my dad are having like a "bonding day" lol so yeah fun things in nyc


My boyfriend has 2 daughters who I have regularly spent time with and gotten to know. One recently left for college, and he (my BF) suggested that I add her to my facebook page (to stay in touch). I send her encouraging mssgs, but don't otherwise say too much. Anyway, my boyfriend go in a fight about a month ago and he deleted me from his page...I did not agree with him doing that bcs I felt he must have something to hide. He felt it was okay to not be friends and told me to get over it. Yet, his daughter was still my FB friend and one day I caught him in a lie about something bcs of what I had seen him say to her on her page. I called him out, and the next thing I knew, she had deleted me too. When I asked him about why she did that, he told me that he told her what I had said. I was hurt and embarrassed that he would talk to her about our personal business...and the situation made me uncomfortable. Since then, it has been "bugging" me...not so much the FB delete, but that he tried to control my access and involved her in our fight. I kept asking him for resolve but he told me to "get over it"...so, yesterday, I sent an email to her, explaining my side, mainly that I did not mean for her to get involved what had happened between her dad and I but that I still really cared about her. Today, my BF called me upset (I copied the email to him) that I had bothered her with that...and that it made me look desperate. Still, I feel upset with him, and bcs I felt I had some level of relationship with her, I wanted to make sure that she knew my side. Thoughts? What would you have done? What would you do? Thanks for reading.


Okay so like my dad is like extremely strict in my opinion. I never get to go anywhere with my friends, if he sees me even talking to a guy he gets all upset. I am his oldest and only daughter and am about to turn 16 in like 3 months. All my friends always invite me places but most of the time i have to tell them no. I'm not allowed to wear make-up, am not allowed to have a boyfriend, and he choses who i can and can't hang out with. Please answer.


Ok here's the deal. I'm 19, turning 20 in May, a senior in college expecting to graduate in Spring of 2011 (5 years in college total). I work as a math tutor at a community college and I still live with my parents. And I'm an only child.

My parents pay for my $250 car payments, $100 car insurance, phone bill, and I don't pay any rent. I pay is for prescriptions, doctor's appts, internet for my phone, hair appts, and anything else that I need or want besides the household groceries. And I love my parents, we get along great.

But here's the thing, my older cousin laid up and had 2 children, 2 and 4 years old, that she won't take care of. So my mom took custody of the 2 year old girl and her mom took the boy. My mom has basically been taking care of the girl since she was about a month old. It was fine when we were living with relatives in a four bedroom and there were plenty of people to help. But now my dad is retired from the Navy and it's just the three of us taking care of a bratty, attention-lavished 2 year old. Sometimes we have to take care of the mentally delayed 4 year old as well.

She has to sleep in my room, even though we have an extra bedroom, and every day after going to school or working until 7pm I have to come home and help with her somehow, or else I'm not doing my share to live in the house. I don't get any sleep because she wakes up crying almost every night. Every weekend, I have a hard time getting my homework done, and I have basically NO time to do anything fun that I want to do unless the girls mom isn't at work or the club and is will to babysit her daughter, and it's starting to cause a big strain in my boyfriend's and my relationship (who I'm planning on marrying) because we have no time together unless he goes to school with me. And my grades are suffering because I have no time to study and I'm always so tired from lack of sleep and stress.

Am I being ungrateful to want to move asap? Should I just suck it up for the next year and a half so they can pay for everything until I graduate? Don't get me wrong I love my little 2 year old cousin but it's becoming too much for me to deal with. Sorry for the long post btw...

I've already been looking for people that need roommates by the campus just in case they take my car, and have found a room in a townhouse for $335 a month.
For those who said I don't help, I do help with her A LOT and voluntarily also. But it bothers me that her mother can go to movies and go on dates and do really whatever she wants. But me, who did not choose to have children yet, cannot.


Ok, well I absolutely HATE Miley Cyrus, so my friend and I are doing this little skit making fun of Miley, but its kind of not exactly about her.
It's gonna be called "Mommay...." because that is what Mylie (we spell her name like My-lie on purpose because she her mom (Mommay) had her and did not tell her dad. Mylie doesn't know who her dad is)
Here is a summary-
Mommay is a troubled mother that adopted one child and had a surrogate mother for another. The surrogate daughter is her daughter Destinie and the one she gave birth to was Mylie. Mommay will soon learn that Destinie is an angel, but Mylie is a total handful.
Mylie Cirrus Tippin- (Purposely spelled wrong)- MYLIE'S AUTOBIO-
My name is Mylie. I live with my mommay and my sister, Destinie. I hate Destinie. I hope she dies in a ball of fire. I am four years old, going on four and a half. I have two friends, their names are Nemo and Gang. I called 911 for Mommay putting me in the corner. I called it child abuse and I got taken away to a family called the Tippins. Mrs. Tippin, Mr. Tippin, and Kylie Tippin are my new family. I hate them. I hope they all die.
Destinie- (AUTO BIO) I'm Destinie Chappin, and I love my mommay, but I hate Mylie. Mylie is a total meanie and I hate her. Mylie got me taken away from my Mommay because she called Child Abuse. She was only two, though. She's smart for her age.
Mommay (AUTO BIO)- I keep secrets from my daughters. They think I am in Africa saving the Elephants because Mylie doesn't remember that she called 911 reporting me for Child Abuse when I put her the corner. Destinie does remember, but plays along with me. Neither of my daughters know who their father is (it's a secret). And I won't tell. Destinie also doesn't know that she was conceived by a surrogate mother. However, Mylie is a lie because I did not tell her father I had her. That's why I named her "My Lie" but pronouced My-lee. I love my
daughters, and I get a lot of time with them because the police allows me to. I do not have a job and live off of my mother's money because I am currently going to college.

So, do you think this would get a lot of views on YouTube? Do you like the concept? People at our school love it, but IDK....

My nightmare began at a house witha bunch of people and my daughter was outside when someone walked by and shot a gun. My daughter who is 9 now but seemed to be around age 4in my dream was shot in the upper chest/lower throat. we called 911 and a firetruck arrived, but the ambulance didn't come. I was frantic as were my mom and dad, a fireman grabbed my daughter who was holding her head down, breathing, but not moving - we got ina car and the man drove us to his house and said the hospitals were full - at that moment i realized i needed to call her father (we are divorced) and he wouldn't believe me she was shot. i then ran to her and she was lifeless, but awake and i was frantic about getting her help - then i woke up in tears. does anyone have any idea of what could have caused this dream?


My partner has three children aged 14, 8 and 4.
They lost thier mother three years ago and I have been dating their dad for the past five/six months.

At first they were fine with me, the two girls (14 and 4) would go shopping and his son (8) loved it when I went to watch his football games.
But recently the 14 year old has suddenly decided she doesn't like me. She finds anything to start an argument with me and has begun to turn her younger brother and sister against me.
She tells them that I'm not thier mother so they shouldn't listen to me and things like that. However, thier dad tells them that I do have authority with them and they do have to listen to me.

I feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle with the oldest girl and feel the younger two children are listening to thier sister.

I have tried having nights in with her - just me and her with a film/take-away but she won't be how we were used to be.

How can I get her to be like we were two months ago when we got along?

My partner is on my side and he will always tell his children that I have to be listened to and he will punish his daughter when she starts arguments with me. (if she is in the wrong) If I am in the wrong I always apologise.

Has anyone got any advice on how to be a friend and 'parent' to the children?
Her relationship with her dad hasn't changed. She doesn'y argue with him, whenever he tells her that I am somebody to be listened to, she'll just have an argument with me. And most of the time I'm not even there when her dad talks to her.


Here are some symptoms that I have. very dizzy, I dont have a thermometer but I feel like im burning up, legs feel achy, runny nose, back kinda achy, tired , small cough.. thats it.

DETAILS... I went to Kalahari (BIG INDOOR WATER PARK) from last Saturday to Sunday.. and i went with my dad step mom and her daughter..... Well this will probly give it away but my dad tested positive for swine flu yesterday. And i spent 2 hours with him in a car and I slept in the same bed with him (I had to no other beds =< )

PLEASE HELP


Please don't be. I have to share my story. If you have a relative you want to find but are too scared to look for them because you're scared of possibly being rejected, look for them anyway. Be realistic though and prepare for the worst in case rejection happens but don't let fear make decisions for you.

I was scared for look for my dad until I was about 26. "When I found him, I was scared to ask him for more detailed information about my long lost half-sister. I finally faced that fear more than 10 years later. Turns out my dad believed his long lost daughter didn't want anything to do with him and my half-sister was brought up to believe my dad didn't want anything to do w/ her. What they BELIEVED prevented them both from looking and finding each other until about 6 years ago when my half-sister posted her search on the web which I found when I was looking for her. Both were wrong for 43 years and wanted to be found.

I hope this encourages others to look because even if you're rejected, you'll never know and won't be able to more forward otherwise.


my brother,his wife and 1 yr old live at my parents house but my sister-in-law is LAZYshe doesn't contribute to chores around the house.my mom cooks and cleans..all she does is wash their clothes and she will cook for her daughter but she never washes the dishes she used.it's been going on about 2 yrs..if my mom was healthy it would be a bit better but she's had breast cancer and had part of her muscles removed so she can't tire herself out..i've talk to my bro and his excuse is her dad did everything for her and its taking her time to learn how to do things..am i wrong about her laziness?or should i put an end to it and just talk to her??


okay,
so her dad left her mom when she was really young and she feels that he desn't care for her. She really wants to get to know him, or for him to at least make contact. She really misses him and at parties where there is a father-daughter dance, she'll go to the bathroom and cry.
I really want to help her, so I came up with an idea.

one of my other friends mom's actually works with my friend's dad (she is a nurse, he a docter) so I was thinking she could deliver a note to him from my friend and then make him read it in front of her. Then, he might try to get back in touch with her because it's the right thing to do.

any other ideas?

would this work? I really need help here...
I really dont want her 2 feel bad


i am really lost and dont know what to do. My husband and I have 2 girls. My daughter and his daughter. No children together. We have been married almost 3 years. The first year we spent apart most of the year as he was in Korea. We have a very difficult past with lots o mistrust and insecurity. Nothing that I know of since we got married but alot that I found out after we got married that was lied about. 1 of them being a very serious matter. Anyway. I love him and I know he loves me. We constantly fight though. Every single day. And I cant say anything without me being stupid or him getting an attitude. He has that speak when spoken to attitude. I am so unhappy and I know he is. I dont know what to do though. He is the only dad my daughter will ever know as her real dad left before she was born and He has been there since she was 10 months old (shes now almost 5). My daughter is still, 2 years later, completely devastated that we left her nama and papa and the rest of the family and goes to bed crying every night still bc of it. But I know if we leave she will miss her daddy. We are stationed in Alaska and the rest of the family is in the lower 48. She would also miss her sister and will I very much. He has no patients though and is often really hurtful to my daughter while letting his daughter get away with the same things and she is 6 years older.
I work full time, go to school. have 3 home based businesses, take care of the girls, our 3 pets, and clean the house, dishes, laundry.everything and it is never appreciated. he finds the one thing wrong with the house and says I never do anything!!! The problem is with the distance, If I leave and we work things out I cant come back and Im scared. My daughter will miss them and I cant give her the life she has here. We have a car, own our house, she has a very stable and provided life but she hears us fighting all the time.if we leave we will have the rest of the family but no job at first, we will have to stay with family for a bit, no car, and no daddy and sister, no insurance. What is best for her? I have gotten so used to the military lifestyle. it feels really "right" I love everything about it. And will find it very difficult to adjust to civilian life again. (not bc of the money and benefits either like some girls, Im talking about the closeness, friendships, volunteering, etc) Its not like a normal divorce where she could go see them on the weekends and I could move out and we could work things out. Its one or the other. We leave and say goodbye to everything or we stay and fight. My parents fought alot when I was growing up but never even knew at all until I was an adult. We cant/wont control ourselves. We are both good people but not together. Also with early return of dependents can I move myself and get reimbursed like a dity pcs move?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years now and we have 2 kids together. Before my current boyfriend I dated a guy for 4 years and we loved each other dearly but because we both young and immature we used to quarrel a lot . I moved to the states and met my now boyfriend and my ex stayed in England .We actually never split up , we kept in contact and tried the long distance thing for almost a year until i met my boyfriend and i told him about it but we kept , talking and texting. We both know we still have feelings for each other but cause i am with someone else we never acted upon it . But we see ourselves calling each other almost everyday now and we recently decided to meet somewhere during my vacation which i am taking solely for the purpose to meet him . I am so torn and not wanting my kids to loose the home they have with their dad . I love my boyfriend but not in love with him . I know for sure that what i used to and still feel for my ex is totally different from what i feel for my boyfriend. I already feel guilty so please dont judge. i just need some advice and need to understand why is it that i can't get my ex out of my mind after so long.( FYI . We havent talked for almost 9 months when i had my first daughter cause he was so pissed at me )


he was diagnosed w/ a sinus infection saturday and didnt get his prescription filled until monday. he also kept smoking until i finally took his cigarettes away b/c he started coughing like my late grandfather did when he had COPD.

he is now on his roughly 5th day of antibiotics(zpack), and all he does is take cold drugs all day and sleep. i had a severe sinus infection combined w/ a severe allergic reaction back in the spring(my throat was so swollen i couldnt swallow). my head hurt so bad that i couldnt even move, and i was expected to still care for my son all the time. after about the 2-3 day of antibiotics and a cortisone shot, i felt alot better. he has been doing this for the last week. i finally freaked out a bit on him last night, as he slept all day and all night. i had been up tending to him until 4am and my son got up at 9:30am, and he is a very active 18mo. and into everything non-stop, so i was exhausted, and given this is like the 5th to 7th day in a row of this, i was pretty burnt out as well, in addition to him all but refusing to go to school or get a job or do anything that might help provide for this family & instead sleeping all day, along w/ his mother seems to think that i should take care of my son by myself at all times, along w/ keeping the house immaculate, and some how i am supposed to find the time to make $100,000 dollars a year all on my own while her son sleeps all day and smokes and drinks all night and she tells everyone else in the family that she is raising my son, and that i do nothing, which couldn't be more of a lie. meanwhile my sil is supposed to receive infinite support b/c "oh poor her" she is by herself w/ the baby while my husbands brother is working a good job, along w/ she has her parents to watch the baby and has a car.

i told him that i felt like i was all alone and i was tired of being expected to not only be essentially the primary caregiver for my son constantly, w/ no help as far as child care, along w/ i am supposed to some how make $100,000/year on my own while taking care of my son and keeping the house immaculate(this is the amount of money his mother thinks i should make b/c that is what she believes you have to make in order to survive, and so that i can support her son, whom she thinks is the best thing since sliced bread and can do no wrong. she is also the biggest pathological liar i have ever met. i dont think i have in 5 years heard her tell the truth once).

i also confirmed tuesday of this week that i am pregnant. i havent told him yet, and i am pretty sure when i do tell him, he is going to get mad about it(when i got a faint positive last wednesday, he tried to say it wasnt positive and then went on a rampage about why did i have to tell him this now, after it was the first time in about 4 days i had seen him for more than 2 seconds as he had to go and take care of his mom while his grandmother was at the hospital. it was about 2 in the morning, but like i said-first time in 4 days i had seen him, and he was supposed to go back first thing the next morning and be gone again.), even though i made him be safe, as i wasnt on my bc, & he knew it, he took it off mid way through.

i have also been finding receipts for liquor in the car, along w/ empty beer cans,wine bottles, & 40 oz bottles all through our garage, along w/ the occasional empty liqour bottle that is his brand, that he ties to blame on the neighbors(we live in an apt. complex w/ working professionals and grad students, & he drinks canadian mist & leaves schlitz cans outside our garage and is trying to blame this on our neighbors). i have had to hide my pain pills from when i had my son, as well as any anti anxiety meds i have had in the past as when i was on xanax & that sort of thing for severe anxiety, he would steal them, along w/ my pain meds( i had an emergency c section w/ my son, so i had hydrocodone & some others).

this last week has about put me to the end of my rope. i have been looking for a job for a very long time now, but w/ no success.

i just don't know what to do. going to my parents is not an option as they disowned me over a year ago(my mother is a borderline personality w/ a bunch of other things tied in, & she refuses to take medication or do actual therapy, & did not like my dad having a father daughter relationship w/ me as it took attention from her, so she manipulated him into disowning me or she would divorce him & take my sisters & he would never see them again).

what do you think is going on w/ my husband?
the taking care of his mom was just prior to the sinus infection. also he mixed sudafed, nyquil, & alcohol the other night & started acting like an incoherant(sp?) jerk & trying to fight w/ me while i was trying to get our 18 mo. to sleep.
he had the flu tests & they were negative.


The one where the mom and dad take their college attending daughter to the olive garden and her roomates go as well. Who is the actor that plays the dad? I swear I've seen him on a tv show!


My Husband and I have a 8 month old baby girl and she is the light of our world...My Husband works full time 50+hours a week and I work Full time 3 days a week 36 hours a week. I work as a Nanny and bring our daughter with me, so I am basically a SAHM who gets paid!! LOL anyway I have asked him twice to watch Lorelei on Wednesday Mornings from 6:30-9:30am while he is home on his day off...he has refused giving me the excuse he is tired and wants to sleep in...Now he is the one that usually is up first on the weekends and gets her food and watches her for an hour or so while I sleep in...but he got up early on the weekends even before we had the baby...is it unreasonable for him to watch our daughter for 3 hours once or twice a month? I would just like some time without having to worry about her...I work wednesday mornings and get two kids ready for school and drop them off to school at 9:15am so I would be back by 9:30am and then I would be home till 12:00pm when I would take the Baby with me and get the other two kids I watch and get lunch and then go to there house...He would then have from 12:00pm till about 7:00pm to rest and relax and all that...He is a very hands on Dad and an awesome Husband and he will clean the house or put cloths away on wednesday if it is needed but he usually does that after I leave...I just wanted other mothers/wife's opinion on this before I press it...Thanks


I have a daughter. I found out that I was 3 months pregnant after I had been dating someone for about a month I suppose. The father of the baby didn't want anything to do with the baby. I told the guy I was dating and he still wanted to be with me anyway. He and I got married and since then he claims my daughter as his own. He led his Mother to believe that the baby is his which I had no part in at all. I never once told him to tell his family that the baby is his. I appreciate everything my husband has done, except his lie has put me in a difficult situation. My daughters biological dad has a Mother who has been wanting to see my daughter for a long time but hasn't yet. She has asked again to see her soon and I'm torn on what to do. I'd feel very guilty If I didn't let her see my daughter but my husband doesn't want her to see my daughter at all. I have talked to him and letting her see my daughter but he gets mad and doesn't want her to. I torn on what to do, please help. Thanks..
My husband has his name on her birth certificate. I don't want to keep it a secret but it is not my place to tell his Mother. He is very sensitive about the subject. I don't want this to cause problems in our marriage because I love him very much and to me he is the real father and he acts like so.
Thank You for all of the answers. I have never actually met his Mother because of military reasons. I didn't allow him to say that to his Mother, its not like I was there when he told her. However, I will work towards him telling the truth. He really is a great dad to my daughter and is just sensitive to the fact that she is not biologically his. I've decided to let the grandmother meet my daughter. My husband is away right now but I will talk to him about it the best way I can and hope he will become more open minded.


My 22 month old is a very loving girl and very intelligent. She just seems to be behind all of those her age. I hate reading those developmental websites that say your kids are supposed to be doing this and that. For example, she just started talking (has about 5 words) and she just started to do things for pretend play. She didn't point with her index finger until she was 18 months old nor did she point to things in a book until a couple of months ago. She is just now putting puzzles together and her communication is much better than it was. Everything I looked up pointed to Autism which she clearly doesn't have (4 professional have evaluated her and have said that she is clearly "normal"). She points to things of interest, is very social, smiles, laughs, and plays normally. However, it seems that everyone I come in contact with has a child that is far exceeding what my daughter can do. I love her and don't want to push her at all but it would be nice to know if there are other moms and dads out there who had a baby who just wanted to be a baby a little while longer.


My friend is a single dad and his 14yr old daughter just got a boyfriend. My friend and I are really close (as friends only, he has a gf of many years and I have a husband) and his daughter really trusts me. Last night we were on msn and she asked me if I could explain to her "stuff, cuz u know I have a bf now" and I ask if it was about protection and contraceptives and she said YES.Her dad asked me about a month ago to explain all this to her BUT I didnt see the right moment until just last night.

I am planing to take her for lunch to a place she likes and then talk to her seriously about it, I am going to a doctor today to get info for her BUT where do I explain this to her? How do I start? How and what should I tell her?
Any advise?


I have been married to her Dad for 4 years now. I have been a significant part of her life for 4 years. We see them every other weekend and for the last 3 years, we have been pursuing custody. She and I had a very close relationship and she trusted me completely. I was there when her mom let her down, broke her heart over and over again. I have been the 1 person fighting for her and her sister all this time.
Over the last 6 months, she has gotten progressively more and more disrespectful. She is lying. She mocks me. She spit on me accidentally and did not apologize, thought it was funny.
I have welcomed those girls into our home and told them this is their home too, that our family is incomplete without them. We have relocated 2 times to be near them. Our whole lives have been about these girls and I am absolutely at my wit's end with them. They know my expectations as far as respect for others and their property. Self respect and hygiene. Still they have developed no positive habits. They don't flush. They wipe their hands on their clothes, they eat with their mouths open, burp loudly and pass gas loudly at the dinner table....just horrible stuff.
I am 29 yrs old and together my husband and I have 5. 4 girls and a boy. My kids have been raised to be respectful, not talk back, ask permission, yes mam, no mam, please thank you. They aren't perfect, but they are being parented. Whay is it okay to allow this child to come into my home and get away with things I would not allow my own children to do?
She spit on me accidentally the other day and laughed about it. She rolls her eyes when she gets in trouble and i leave the room. She handed me my cell phone the other day (which she had no permission to have in the 1st place) and said "here, i deleted all the crap out of your phone. What she deleted was all the pictures of my 10 yr old daughter whom she is hateful to. I cannot let this continue to disrupt my home. Should I give her an ultimatum. She needs an incredibly humbling experience to open her eyes to the blessings she has in my husband and I. The sense of entitlement is like nothing I have ever seen.
Okay, all these sound really great and exactly what i was already thinking. The biggest challenge that I face, is not being afraid to punish, but not having the time. She's only here a day or 2 at a time, so grounding her doesn't stick.
She and my 10 yr old have always shared a room and this morning i moved all of her stuff out. She doesn't deserve to have the things that Summer does.
I have laid down some strict rules and her Daddy is gonna back me one way or the other....She will respect me for it in the end.
she has always seen me as this young girl her Dad married and I've always been able to be a friend to her, but I established a very distinct line between being a friend and being a parent. She knows how to cross it. And she does.
But regardless of custody, my husband, her mother or my in-laws, she WILL NOT come into my home and treat my kids badly. If she wants to be this way, she can stay at home.....


I'm an 18 year old mother in a stable and long term relationship with a 20 year old dad. Together we have a 6 month old daughter. I live with my super strict parents and maintain an A- average in college. I have recently petitioned them to move out and my mother has called a lawyer to have my baby taken from me on account that she believes that I am irresponsible. I take care of my child independently from my parents recieving little help from anyone but her father. My parents have restricted me for such a long time that others in the community are concerned. I have no income as they won't let me seek employment and what money I do receive is from the babys father. Since I have petitioned to move, my mother has been taking my child and refusing to let me see her altogether and for long periods of time. This is emotionally and physically painful because I am still breastfeeding. She feeds her formula when she takes her. What should I do?


I have 3 grown kids who are married. It is like pulling teeth trying to get them to visit. Their father and I are divorced after 18 years and I have been remarried for 15 years and have a daughter 11 from this marriage.The only one who calls or visits is the middle child. when I asked about the others she says she don't know. I call them and they always say they are busy. They have time for their dad who is on his 4th marriage is an alcoholic and uses pot. I am hoping its not because they like his lifestyle better. I don't drink or use drugs. Could I just be too boring. My son has had a dui and has been in rehab and daughter uses pot but that shouldn't keep them away from me. What can I do to open the lines of communication ?? I drive to see them 80 miles and 90% of the time they are not home. Help if you can or if you have simular problems, let me know.


My sister divorced her husband when their daughter was around 3. The father "Bill" is still upset about this and moved to another state. He doesn't keep in touch w/ child (now 8). But the mom is always buying birthday &Christmas gifts for their daughter acting like it's from the dad.
Do you think this is a good decision? The kid is young now, but soon won't she wonder why she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad, but he is sending her gifts? I think it will hurt this child in the long run. I'm not a parent so maybe I don't fully understand the situation.
but the problem is we don't know where he is. he was in North Carolina for a while but all the #'s have been disconnected. He is an alcoholic loser so he could be anywhere.


Im getting very confused by the responses i got when i googled this. Can my daughter eat fish or not? I know that one of the baby food jars she has had in the past was tuna pasta bake....but she didnt like it anyway...but i wondered if she can have white fish like cod or haddock or pollock? I know not to have shellfish at the moment because of the allergy risk. But I am experimenting with new thigns to give her as finger foods so she can get used to feeding herself instead of me doing it, white fish seems good with the texture......oh lovely, she just brought me her dads shoes....anyway..advice plz





Umm, I'm writing like a novel/book in my spare time just for fun...compared to other writers I am quite young [I'm 12], but do you think this is okay for the opening of a story? I was just thinking there may be too much speech...=/ Tell me what you think, thank you in advance :)

As Beatrice trudged her way along the long, narrow alleyway meandering itsa�� way through some of the apartment blocks in the Northern-London area, she began to realise how exhausted she was, and how relieved that it was finally Friday. God, days go by like months in my life, she thought, itsa�� going to be a l-o-n-g time until I finally die. Fifteen years she had lived, and already she had seen the potential of a lifea��s outcome: a dark, empty nothingness. She turned round the corner, and held her breath while passing the filthy dustbins, which gave off a loathsome stench that wanted to make her gag. She fiddled around her rotten blazer pockets to find her flat key, and when she did, the door had already been opened.
a�?You said you would pick me up,a�? she announced.
a�?I told you, Bea, we cana��t afford gas for the cara��a�? her dad responded, as he breathed out heavily, from his cigarette.
a�?Mhm, however you can afford these?a�? she said, raising her eyebrows as she snatched the cigarette from her father and stubbed it out on her blazer.
a�?Yeah wella��a�? he murmured, as he caught her daughtera��s schoolbag that she had thrown at him.
a�?Good day at school?a�? he asked, hopefully.
a�?Naha��did you get the call from them? They expelled me,a�? she uttered, entering the kitchen.
a�?What!? Thata��sa�� the fifth school this year, Beaa��a�?
a�?You didna��t know, then? Just shows what a pathetically organised school they really are,a�? she smiled, sarcastically.
a�?Theya��re the only school left in this area that actually accepted you!a�? he cracked open two cokes from the fridge, and passed one to Bea.
a�?School-smools, for what Ia��m going to turn out like, a shop check-out lady or a hooker, you dona��t need an educationa��a�?
a�?Look Beaa��Youa��re a clever girla��a�? he started.
a�?Yeah, I guess I do work hard for my average Csa��a�? she rolled her eyes.
a�?I meana��you have great potential to lead a good lifea��a�? he hugged his daughter.
a�?Uha��dad? Haira��hair,a�? her hands wavered protectively over her dark-brown hair.
a�?Ah sorrya��nowa��go do your homeworka�? he kissed her on the forehead.
a�?Ia��m expelled, remember?a�? she pulled a cheeky grin, and after her father had given her a weak smile back, she trekked upstairs to her room.

Ten oa��clock on Saturday morning. Beatrice was woken by the sound of egga��s frying and spitting downstairs, and her dad swearing loudly for a reason unknown to her yet. After procrastinating to herself about getting out of bed or not, and staring at the ceiling for a while [which worryingly had damp patches on it near the edges], she heaved herself out of her bed. The floorboards creaked gently as she crossed the room to her mirror. She groaned as she wiped away the leftover mascara she hadna��t taken off properly last night, and stared at herself through her emerald eyes. She saw a girla��about 5.7ft staring back at her in a dark-grey bedroom, which had been decorated with black floral patterns. Her dark hair was messy in the early morning way, and her skin was smooth, totally spotless unlike the average teenager. After she had run a brush through her hair a couple of times she grabbed her vintage jacket and fumbled down the stairs sleepily.

I have a 4 yr old daughter who lives in Missouri with my ex (we were never married). We raised her together for the first 8 months and then she left me. She's had a couple of issues with drinking and driving. She was recently made to complete community service, I don't know how many hours. Her deadline for it is coming up and she's only completed a little less than half. What will happen to her? If she gets arrested, can I get emergency custody of our daughter? I am a stay-at-home-dad to a son I had with my wife. She's in the military and we are currently stationed in Japan. Can I go to MO, get custody, and take my daughter back to Japan with me? If so, how long does that take?


My parents want me to get married over the next couple of years and they say its because of my mum's health. I'm 23, working full time and studying on saturdays.

I've been telling my parents that I don't want to get married yet or any time soon as I want to finish my studies and hopefully find someone by myself.

My dad keeps on telling me that my mum is going to India to look for someone for me and that I should be married when I'm 25. When I tell him that I want to find someone myself and if it feels right I will ask her, but he keeps on saying that 'so you want to marry when your mum's dead' or 'you can tell your daughter (my mum) that as your the dad of the family'. My parents aways put me through this emotional blackmail, even tho I want to find someone myself an when I'm ready I'll ask her the question.

Please help.


lots of new advertisements in diwali ..
which ones did u like ?
i like the paints ad in which family members are discussing which color will be good
i also like another ad in which a daughter pays to buy a new car for her dad .. investment plan for young professionals ..something like that ..

what about you ?
I�I�I?QI�N� gI?N?a��z: not seen that .. must be funny
victorious India: that ad is very Pakau !


i left him when my baby was 3 months old. she is 2.5yr old now. never had the money to pay 4 a divorce, so never pursued it. so a couple of weeks ago, he emailed me asking 4 a divorced. i told him, well i want his parental rights. it was a ugly marriage, i was constantly abuse every way possible. which we kept quiet from the outside world, occasionally, he would slip and someone would see him treat me like dirt. well, he keeps emailing me asking if i want to do the divorce w him, i just don't know what to say. i have so much anger towards him, i know i will make him angry. funny, i was asked if i would need counseling when i 1st left him, and said no. but now i know it has affected me...now that im in a stable and loving relationship. but that's a different story. oh and other reason i want his rights is, because he never spent time w my daughter when she was in his life. he wouldn't even hold her 4 more than a min...except when other people were around. he had to show everyone he was the perfect dad. yeah right! he was 2-faced behind closed doors.

so...now that u know a lil....what do you think? what should i say? or do? this is a serious matter, im looking for sincere answers. thank u :)
i thought, my bf cant adopt my daughter w/o my ex's rights? so if i marry my bf, will she be his (in case i die) and i will be able to change her last name, same as my current bf?


right.. so its four o'clock in the morning and i have just been told by my mother that i can either live with my dad or i can be put in a foster home. i would move in with my dad but the only problem is that my 18yr brother is living in the only extra room that my dad has. my dad also has plans to move out of state wich i would not feel comfortable with seeing how i have friends and a boyfriend here. now my boyfriends mother is perfectly willing to clear out an extra room for me. she already has treated me like her daughter for 6 months. im just wondering if that will all hold up in court.
i probably shouldn't be living with my mother anyways seeing as how she has no central a/c or heating so its really cold in the winter (and iv had to buy my own blankets) and really hot in the summer ( i have a box fan for my room.. but its not much help) the house is also infested with fleas because she insists on letting her cat out when it wants to go out. she rarely buys food because she eats at work and when she does she usually tells me not to eat it; that its for her or a meeting she's going to. once upon a time i was woken up at 2:30 am (when she gets up for work) and slapped across the face because i had neglected to finish washing the dishes (there were 4 left in the sink) i had a mark across my nose for about a month. .
im not over exaggerating any of this. its all true, but the question is: will i be able to live with my boyfriend mother?


Umm, I'm writing like a novel/book in my spare time just for fun...compared to other writers I am quite young [I'm 12], but do you think this is okay for the opening of a story? I was just thinking there may be too much speech...=/ Tell me what you think, thank you in advance :)

As Beatrice trudged her way along the long, narrow alleyway meandering itsa�� way through some of the apartment blocks in the Northern-London area, she began to realise how exhausted she was, and how relieved that it was finally Friday. God, days go by like months in my life, she thought, itsa�� going to be a l-o-n-g time until I finally die. Fifteen years she had lived, and already she had seen the potential of a lifea��s outcome: a dark, empty nothingness. She turned round the corner, and held her breath while passing the filthy dustbins, which gave off a loathsome stench that wanted to make her gag. She fiddled around her rotten blazer pockets to find her flat key, and when she did, the door had already been opened.
a�?You said you would pick me up,a�? she announced.
a�?I told you, Bea, we cana��t afford gas for the cara��a�? her dad responded, as he breathed out heavily, from his cigarette.
a�?Mhm, however you can afford these?a�? she said, raising her eyebrows as she snatched the cigarette from her father and stubbed it out on her blazer.
a�?Yeah wella��a�? he murmured, as he caught her daughtera��s schoolbag that she had thrown at him.
a�?Good day at school?a�? he asked, hopefully.
a�?Naha��did you get the call from them? They expelled me,a�? she uttered, entering the kitchen.
a�?What!? Thata��sa�� the fifth school this year, Beaa��a�?
a�?You didna��t know, then? Just shows what a pathetically organised school they really are,a�? she smiled, sarcastically.
a�?Theya��re the only school left in this area that actually accepted you!a�? he cracked open two cokes from the fridge, and passed one to Bea.
a�?School-smools, for what Ia��m going to turn out like, a shop check-out lady or a hooker, you dona��t need an educationa��a�?
a�?Look Beaa��Youa��re a clever girla��a�? he started.
a�?Yeah, I guess I do work hard for my average Csa��a�? she rolled her eyes.
a�?I meana��you have great potential to lead a good lifea��a�? he hugged his daughter.
a�?Uha��dad? Haira��hair,a�? her hands wavered protectively over her dark-brown hair.
a�?Ah sorrya��nowa��go do your homeworka�? he kissed her on the forehead.
a�?Ia��m expelled, remember?a�? she pulled a cheeky grin, and after her father had given her a weak smile back, she trekked upstairs to her room.

Ten oa��clock on Saturday morning. Beatrice was woken by the sound of egga��s frying and spitting downstairs, and her dad swearing loudly for a reason unknown to her yet. After procrastinating to herself about getting out of bed or not, and staring at the ceiling for a while [which worryingly had damp patches on it near the edges], she heaved herself out of her bed. The floorboards creaked gently as she crossed the room to her mirror. She groaned as she wiped away the leftover mascara she hadna��t taken off properly last night, and stared at herself through her emerald eyes. She saw a girla��about 5.7ft staring back at her in a dark-grey bedroom, which had been decorated with black floral patterns. Her dark hair was messy in the early morning way, and her skin was smooth, totally spotless unlike the average teenager. After she had run a brush through her hair a couple of times she grabbed her vintage jacket and fumbled down the stairs sleepily.

Chapter 1.
Brilliant streaks of lightning tore at the night sky. The full moon, barely visible behind the ragged, thick clouds, rolling like the sea in a storm, still managed to cast an eerie glow across the sky. Lilly's mum, a tall, elegant woman with long golden hair and the palest of blue eyes, scrambled to her daughters room. Snatching her from her warm bed, she led her down to the small room under the stairs. Dragging her behind some large storage boxes, she sat her down and threw an old blanket over her. Lilly huddled there in the corner, cold and confused.
a�?Look at me, Lilly,a�? her mum whispered, a�?You need to stay here and be very quiet,a�? she pressed her soft lips against Lilly's forehead as a tear fell from her eye and drizzled down Lilly's left cheek.
a�?What's going on?a�? asked Lilly, still half asleep.
Her mum took a quick glance over her shoulder, a�?Theres no time...a�? and hurried toward the door. She paused, turning to look back at her daughter for what could be the last time.
a�?I love you,a�? she choked, her voice breaking as more and more tears streamed down her face. She tried to smile warmly, but it wavered and died after a few seconds. Lilly was too confused to reply; She just watched as her mum rushed to shut the door behind her, leaving Lilly in darkness.
Lilly, who heard nothing but her own soft, quiet breathing, began to wonder if her mum had lost her mind. She shuffled forward toward the door, letting the blanket gently flop beside her; Pressing her ear against it, she closed her eyes and listened carefully. At first she heard nothing but the heavy breathing of her mum and dad, then heavy footsteps and a man's voice, sarcastic and menacing.
a�?I believe you have something that belongs to me.a�?
a�?I dona��t know what your talking about,a�? her mum replied, her voice strained and sounding higher than usual.
a�?Your blood!a�? he snapped.

Ohh, and I'm twelve :)


OK, so my daughter has been complaining about the size of her breasts for as long as she has been old enough. She has seen the other girls around her grow, and she basically has no breast tissue. No bra needed.

The thing is,flat chests run in our family. And so do breast implants. I got implants when I was 20 (I'm a large D) and my sister did it when she was 21 (she is a DD). We both LOVE our implants and are thrilled we did it.

The thing is, is it ethical for me as a parent to suggest she get implants. I don't thing she NEEDS them, but I think they would make her happy. She is about to turn 18 and I would love to buy them for her. Is it OK for me to bring it up to her?

By the way, her dad is out of the picture, but I can pay for them no problem.


Hey everybody,
Guys my age don't like me romantically. I am 18, but I tend to mother my friends who are girls. And sometimes the guys in my age range. Mostly because they blow things out of proportion. I continually get asked if my 16 yr old bro is my son. I am not overweight (I've heard that makes you look older) and I am not stuck up. I tend to go for older guys because they make more sense and they know what they are all about. I'm still figuring myself out; I don't really want to raise a boyfriend. I'm mature. I'm smart. So how can I get an older mature guy to ask me out? But not a creepy kind. I flirt with older guys (and a few younger ones if they start it), but once they know my age they back off. I buried my question: How can I get an older, mature guy to ask me out?
Thanks,
C
P.S. I live with my parents so they would have to meet my dad and have the whole bring-my-daughter-back-like-she-left talk and be cool with it. Thanks!


My step-sister has 3 kids, and she had all of them years before I even met my husband. My husband and I dated for 3 years and we've been married for 3 months, and we're just starting to play with names. Well, one of the names that we came up with happens to be the name of my step-sister's second child. We really like the name, but I'm afraid it will be awkward with the family.

Important fact: I have never really gotten along that well with my dad and my stepmom, and we had the ultimate showdown about a year and a half before my wedding (a few weeks after we announced our engagement), and in the end, my father, my stepmother, and her family didn't come to my wedding. So, in the end, we're probably never going to see any of them again.

Never seeing them again is a big argument under our "why to" category. But the situation in itself (having a niece or nephew who already has that name) just seems like the ultimate "why not to" reason.

If we were still getting along with my dad and his wife, I wouldn't even have given the name a second thought. But does the idea of never seeing them again make it okay? We still see my grandparents and aunts from my dad's side all the time, and they see him now and then, and even though they're not close with my step-sister, they still know her name. Would they think it's weird?
Okay, okay...you guys pressured me into it. The name is Rachel. It goes really well with our funky last name. (Now THAT I won't give away, lol!)


ok so I went out with this girl for about a week, 2 days and 2 or 3 hours. During this time I meet her parents. Her dad was kind of distance for a while the we grew into each other after while. He also works at our school as a police officer. So its been a while after me and her broke up and her family has took a real interest in me. her mom sister, and dad loves me imp like a son to them. They also want me to date there daughter even though she doesn't have feelings for me anymore. just a few weeks ago when I was over for dinner they paid for an extra ticket to go see WWE Monday night Raw which was like 80$ tickets. so I wrote the mother of the family a thank you card to show gratified. I couldn't buy them anything be cause I just got a new car and lost my job and still in high school. so the mo writes back saying that she thinks of me as a son of her own. then they said they have a surprise for me. when I ask what it was she said a cell phone. now I eyes did grow big but I still told her thata��s a big gift to just give someone. even though there going to add me to there plain where as it would only be 5 moor dollars a month they still have to pay for the phone, and along with the fact that there even giving me s phone. so the question is should I take it and why or why not

thanks a lot Rashid

Ps no stupid answers please
ps not that its a big deal but her parents are white dad police officer works at my school talks every day now, and im black NJROTC Commanding Officer.


My mum has gone through so much in her life.

Here are a highlights of her life.

1. Her sister died in a car crash when mum was only young. She left behind two children, and was pregnant another. The baby inside the woman servied and was the first australian baby to be born from a dead mother.

-The grandparents were ill and the father had re-married. The kids were going to go to foster homes, so my mum as a late teenager moved to the home we still currently live in (shes been here for 30 years)and raised the kids. She had met my dad at that time and he moved with her.

My dad was an abusive alcoholic, who unfortunetly would be very violant towards them all.

Mum had my sister and I to him. He was also violent towards us.

In one of his drunk rants, he burnt down a shed that was once in our backyard. alot of damage was done to our house on his behalf.

in 1992, when we're all young, my dad was walking home drunk from a pub and couldnt perseive how fast a car was travelling and he was hit and killed. This was traumatic for all involed.

A few years later debt collectors came to my now widdowed mum (single income family) and mum was now reliable to pay off all his debts.

a few years after that I was diognosed with epilespy and duplux kidneys. I spent most of my time in hospitals, at neuroligists and with surgeons to fix the problem. (this was between the ages of 5 to 8). This was all fixed due to my mums kind nature and wanting to see me happy that she spent more money then she earnt on making me better.

Jenny (one of the three kids mum adopted) was often moving in and out of home whenever her relationships would fail. Another person for mum to take care of.

At the age of 13 I was deeply depressed and put in sycology, this again, was paid for by my mum.

I became suicidal and developed a drug addiction that caused me to loose a significant amount of weight rapidly and I would run away from home weeks on end. No one ever thought I was going to come good, mum would never give up on me.

She got me through it. unforutnely this meant ringing police, arresting me and admitting me to hospital for help. I am not on anti-depressents and still working with my sycologist (still at mums expense)

As I had made such a mess of school, they asked me to leave at the end of year 10. My future wasn't looking very bright. I'd picked up a part time job at a coffee shop and had now replaced drugs with alcohol. I was diognosed as an alcoholic (a nightmare as you can imagine for mum). I am now working through this

A few years later and Jenny (the middle daughter mentioned earlier) had moved to america with her new husband. mum had taken mortgages out against our home so we could go visit her, TWICE as she had post-natal depression after having her children. We flew over to see her (at mums expense) and had to prepeare ourselves to admit her to hospital. luckly, from the help of mum, Jenny pulled through and being admitted was not needed.

She still sends $100s of dollars worth of presents to the family overseas to make them feel like we haven't forgoten them.

Mum helped me get into a business college in 2007 so I could do something with my life. She paid for text books, weekly train tickets, uniforms etc all to ensure that I could attend each week. It's the best thing I've ever done for my life.


She is now 56 years of age, and all she wants to do is retire. She is still single and can't afford to. She has lived in this same house for 30 years and im sorry to say it but its getting old and run down. We have half an achor of land in the backyard that if i had the money to do it up for her I would.

unfortunetly we can't even afford a new lounge that we ever so despritley need. We really live off the bair minimum

within this time, although I have put my mum through alot, she has let two of my friends live with us due to domestic problems of their own as she would hate to turn her back on a needing person. thats just the kind of person she is. Pleasssseeee think of my mum, she's the most amazing woman you wil ever meet!


My boyfriend has a 12 year old niece and he just got together to me about three months ago. She tells people that she "doesn't like me" and/or "hates me". My boyfriend reminded me that she does have some family issues and in fact, he also told me she doesn't get along with her dad and she can be very unwelcoming of new members of the family since her mom has had many divorces and new boyfriends, and now even her sister is having a baby.

I also have a 12 year old daughter, (Zoe). His niece is not interested in Zoe at all, and she is very mean to Zoe, but my boyfriend doesn't do anything about it except say, "Be nice to Zoe." in a soft tone.

And, since she is at her uncle's a lot, and if I marry her uncle Zoe will be there like a sister to her. And she keeps on trying to break us up by doing things like, for example, yesterday she had messed up the bathroom and claimed that Zoe did it.

Obviously, my boyfriend didn't believe her for she causes most of the trouble always.

Zoe keeps on trying be nice to her, but she still isn't interested...Since we live near the same neighborhood as her, I want her and Zoe to go trick-or-treating together, but his niece just laughed it off.

Also, today, she visited again (As I write this, it's only been about a half an hour.) And, today, she was being the usual brat that she is. Talking smack about me to her neighborhood friends, talking smack about Zoe.

I came in as they were talking, and her and her bratty friends were cracking up.

What should I do? Do you think she will warm up to me, or what? I can't make her like me, and can't make her befriend Zoe.
