My son in law and I have a pretty good relationship. My daughter and her family spend a lot of time here, driving in to visit quite often. The granddaughter is going to be turning 6 next month and they want to have her party here at my house. My SIL's parents called and said they would like to fly in and surprise him for the party, arrive a couple of days before to do some shopping and help getting the house ready. They asked if they could stay here, and that's fine, ...

There was a little boy on my son's soccer team whose parents (mom and the boyfriend of the week-I think there have been three in the 6 weeks he has been playing) are too lazy to get him to very many practices, so I offered to pick him up and bring him. The newest boyfriend said that the reason that he has only been to one game is because it is too difficult for them to get up early enough to bring him to an 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. game. Last week, I brought him home with me Friday nig ...

There are so many lessons that we as parents want to teach our children, but I'd love to hear your answer to this question, based on a hypothetical scenario: You are the parent of a 7-year-old child. You've learned from your doctor that you have a terminal illness, with at most a year left to shape your child's future. There's no time for anything but the essentials. You must spend the time wisely. What one, or at most two, character trait(s) would, to you, be the mo ...

Why can't I have a dad who helps me sometimes instead of me having to always be the one helping him? I need to VENT! My dad is a bum who basically lives off others. Since my mom divorced him, due to the fact she was footing all the bills, it was either he had to get a job and take care of himself or live however he could. Well, he is determined not to get a job. So he lived in a shed for a while. When I asked him why he didn't ask a certain man I kne ...

I almost forgot. I was hoping this would be the last year for me, but I think DD2 is going to school for one more year to get a second diploma/degree in GIS so I will probably have one more time to do this. UGH! ...

My BIL keeps referring to his mom (my MIL) by her first name. He'll say "you know that Sharon moved the other day", or he'll say "I came home today so I could bring Sharon to the doctor". The first time he said it I said whose Sharon? He said you, know, my mom. I said why don't you say "my mom" I know who you are talking about. He told me that when he's talking to his coworkers they don't know who his mom is. I'm sorry, I just ...

My mom has dementia. She knows all of her children and some of the grandchildren. She is going to a new nursing home today, which is going to really throw her off. Conversations are difficult. She talks a lot but much of it is delusional or just does not make sense. She cries easily. She gets angry and screams and yells easily. she often thinks some one is going to come "hurt her." We have pages of instructions and advice on this and one of the biggest ...

My daughter's husband of four months is being deployed next month to Afghanistan for a year, he actually left out this morning for military duty for the next month. She has great family support, has moved back home with us until he returns next year but I think that I am looking for any advice on how to possibly help her get through this from others that have been through it, actually not just her but for him as well. I have never been through anything like this and again, just ...

Do you children (maybe around 4 years old) cry a lot? We have a neighbor who has a little girl and she is always crying - and I mean always. I don't think we've ever heard longer than a half hour without her crying. She's playing with other kids and she cries, she's in the swimming pool and she's crying, eating crying, etc, etc. Since I never had kids or friends who had kids I don't know if this is normal. Just was curious. ...

My husband and I do not get along with my stepdad. He is greedy and just a terrible person. Too much to go into. We had words with him. Anyways, he decided he would take back a Christmas gift that was from my mom and him last year. It was an outside TV antenna. He said it was his and he was taking it back. I thought when you gave someone a gift it was theirs? I just said ok whatever. ...

My child's father is the noncustodial parent. He seems to think anytime he chooses and returns my child is fine. This is fast becoming a problem as I'm stuck sitting here waiting on him to get around to picking her up and returning her. This weekend he's volunteering at the local NFL stadium. He does this to see the game for free. Couple that with the fact that he is disabled and receives SSDI. I don't know what my options are or how to set ...

I have had repeated problems with these people and I'm done, but my daughter and their daughter are best friends and I just feel bad for the girls. Here's the situation. Over the weekend, I took both girls shopping for 8th grade graduation dresses. We go into Kohl's and the girls take off to the junior section to try on dressing while I shop around. They make their choices and proceed to the register where my daughter's friend says she has a $100 ...

The nursery in Amy Fabbrini and Eric Ziegler's home is filled with unread children's books and unworn baby clothes. A Winnie the Pooh blanket lies untouched inside a crib where a child has never slept. For nearly four years, the Redmond couple has been fighting to prove to the state of Oregon that they are intellectually capable of raising their children. The Department of Human Services has removed both of their boys, saying the parents are too mentally limited to be good parents. ...

So, 16-year-old girl gets pregnant by her 16-year-old boyfriend. Her parents were trying to force her to have an abortion. She refused, so they took away her car, refused to support her and she had to work two jobs (for punishment, according to her). She went to a local law practice, who represented her, pro bono, and she won her case. The judge ordered that her parents have no say over what she does for the entirety of her pregnancy. He also ordered that the parent ...

or do they just continually blame everyone else's child instead? I have a 15yo was sleeping over at a friend's house with two other girls. They were at the grandma's house and the grandma let them pitch a tent out in the back yard (she lives in the country) and "camp out." Problem is sometime in the middle night while the grandparents were asleep, after testing back and forth with an older boy (18 years old), he shows up picks all four girls up and ...

Her parents are lesbians."God and Jesus would not allow discrimination in that way," said Joellen Raderstorf, one of about two dozen demonstrators who turned out at Sunday's church service.Most of the protesters stood silently, across the street, holding signs. One read "God ...

My son told and showed my hubby and myself last night that he had bought a motorcycle, crotch rocket no less. I was devastated and cried so hard my eyes hurt. You see my nephew was killed 2-1/2 years ago on a big Harley when a bucket tree truck took a sudden turn in front of him and he died instantly. My sister and the whole family have been devastated by this. It literally caused my sister to have to file for disability because of the mental anguish over this nightmare. ...

My refugee husband, who is now a small business owner and hefty taxpayer, also took advantage of this program in the early 80s while migrating from Iran (to escape imminent persecution for anti-regime political activities) via Germany, then Iowa, under the resettlement program. He was on the dole for hostel housing, food, medical care and pocket money for around 16 months (9 months in Germany, and another 7 months in Iowa) while the bureacratic red tape ran its course and he became establi ...

A Colorado school principal is apologizing after he mailed parents a letter informing them that an after-school tutoring program was for non-whites only. Andre Pearson, the principal at Mission Viejo Elementary School in Aurora, also left a voice mail message confirming that the program excluded whites. “It’s focused for and designed for children of color,” Principal Pearson said in a voicemail to parent Nicole Cox. “If we have space for other kids who have needs, we can definite ...

A while back I posted a message that the oil commodity prices were going up and the last time oil was about $90, gas went to over $4.00. Do you think there is less oil out there? The last time gas prices increased that much, oil companies reported record profits and Bush was president. Hmmm. Republicans have the House. I think I will go buy some oil stock. ...

I cannot believe it. I had hardly any pain yesterday except after the drops were put in and today I can see to read quite a lot, not fine print, but can read this board and some other things. The colors are so bright and the white is so white and bright. I feel like I have new eyes. Thanks so much for praying all of you. BTW, they had to delay surgery for me and the first patient because something was wrong on the light. They finally got that fixed and I was only 20 minutes late going ...
