Prayers are much needed for both of my young children suffering from addiction. My pain and worry for them are almost too much to bear, but I know prayers are heard! ...

I just recently found out my ex-husband lost his house because he hasn't paid the taxes on it for four years. He is an alcoholic, doesn't work, and is bipolar as well. He somehow manages to come up with money to buy his alcohol, but won't get a job to pay his bills or taxes. He's a veteran and gets charity organizations to pay his utilities. He doesn't even own a car that runs anymore. He's just really pathetic. I divorced him for ...

Most people are worried when they're kids are "out of control." Okay, that's a concern. What about when they are walking around tryiing to be perfect for parents' with ridiculous expectations? A note below sparked the thought. A kid who is doing competitive gymnastics (a horror in my mind), plus horseback riding, dancing, singing in a chorus, on and on is not being a kid. When would there be time for THAT? Gymnastics, in my opinion, is a horror. Little perfec ...

I have two grown sons and I think the daughter-in-laws have a good deal to do with it, but they are mad at me all the time. One sends me nasty E-mails to which I do not respond at all. The other is more passive-aggressive (such as unfriended me on Facebook and didn't wish me Happy Anniversary, although sent a text TO MY HUSBAND). I try to walk a very tight line because they use my grandchildren as weapons, and I won't get to see them. I never criticize their actions; ...

My boyfriend has 5 children. He was married to his former wife for 14 years. They have been divorced for 1 year now; separated for 3, and have 5 children together ranging from almost 13 years old to 5 years old. He had custody of them in the beginning because she abandoned them (left the state with another man)....then she was somehow able to get custody back. Anyway that really isn't the issue. The youngest (5-year-old) has been potty trained since he was 3. He rea ...

I need some input about something that my 3 y/o grandson has been saying. He has been saying that the "shadow man" comes out of his roof and says bad things to him. He tells him to go away and he does and he goes back to sleep. That is only at his house. He does not seem scared, he says "he makes me mad". On the anniversary of my father's death, I took him with me to place flowers at the grave. He was talking to the air, having a conversation with "a man ...

It seems that my ex is just up and quitting his military job instead of retiring after 17 years of being in because he would prefer not to give me (the ex-wife) half of his retirement. He has no plan for his future. He and his new wife have just decided that this is the thing for him to do. No job and no insurance. Pray that I will be able to supply the insurance they need on my own. Thank you so much. ...

Anybody with a minute, would appreciate your prayers. My son has been fighting for custody of his children from their meth-addicted mother. She is now homeless, and he is getting the children full-time instead of joint custody. His current wife just up and tells him she wants a divorce; doesn't want to raise his children by his other marriage. He works a week out of town and then is home a week. He is scheduled to leave for work tomorrow. My husband and I ...

I have posted before about babysitting 4 children a few nights a week. Upon hire, I was told I would get paid $35 a night (5 hours). I have logged in 4 nights. I have only gotten paid $75 so far - and that was after I pretty much had to beg for it. I really enjoy the kids, they are great and I have a lot of fun. How do I address this issue? My daughter (21 YO) helped me type up a babysitting log in my Excel program, keeping track of dates, charges and pay.&nb ...

Why? How can people stand to sit there and listen to their kid scream constantly, intermittently every few seconds, nonstop, for over an hour, let alone 10-15-20 minutes or so? This one next door will scream at him in return "STOP" and he keeps it up, then she screams again, he keeps it up, and so on. This goes on the better part of a day sometimes. This baby is about 2 years old, dysfunctional family where the mother and father both scream ...

I am extremely close with some little girls, ages 8 and 10 and their family also. I could not love these children more. Long story short, they moved away out of state and in the last few days their father was arrested for domestic abuse against the mother. He drew the children into the fight, called the mother bad names in front of the children and even told the 10 year old girl if she stayed around her mother then she would be the same and even said the b… word to the child. The mother tonigh ...

I know the whole, "better to give than receive" and "Children should know the real meaning of Christmas" etc., I was just wondering with the prices of items today how much does a personal typically spend on their children for Christmas? My husband always complains and says I spend too much on ours and I tried to cut back this year, but still ended up spending around $1500 on two children, ages 9 and 12 and really it looks like they are having a very small Christmas. I am not complain ...

Diana West: Love this woman's columns. Her eyes are wide open to what goes on in D.C. Not one of the 23 executive orders that President Obama signed -- flanked by schoolchildren whom none of us want to see murdered and before an audience that included relatives of murdered schoolchildren -- would have prevented the massacre at Sandy Hook. Did the main idea of the sentence above come through -- that the president's latest orders would not have stopped the heavily armed ...

This weekend at a fireworks celebration in our town someone donated drinks to the children. You know those little flavored plastic bottles, maybe 6 inches tall. Some had a plastic cap that you pullled and it unraveled and came off, some had tin foil. One child was heard to say "Hey there must have been some paper in my drink". He evidently swallowed something. Another person looked at the container and it had clearly printed an expiration date of 2009 on it and when inspected s ...

Seattle Children’s Hospital ranks No. 11 on the U.S. News & World Report best pediatric hospital list. When Obamacare rolled out, the hospital found itself with just two out of seven insurance companies on Washington’s exchange. Seattle Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in King County, and offers keys services, such as cancer care, which are not available anywhere else in the region. So if you sign up for Obamacare, good luck surviving. Fortunately, that represents ...

This is a complicated issue. Previously the government in Guatemala leased land to the small farmers who were able to support their families on the leased land. Then Cargill and other mega corporations leased the land from the government displacing thousands of small farmers. Not enough jobs on those mega plantations for all, not to mention cutting down the forests and displacing the people there. On top of that, there is a drought. So, people in desperation send th ...

I have always considered myself in excellent health especially with all the health issues I type on each and every day with people younger or near my age. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in the late 80s and the doctor asked me about anyone in my family who had it, usually he said runs in the females and told me to let any daughters I might have the information. I went back to an older aunt and she could think of no one in the family with this. I since have been diagnosed with a kidney diseas ...
