She wants to be a Pilot. I want to encourage her, but am not sure how. She is very smart, but also very sociable. I have researched the air force and learned a bit about the academy and the prep school. both have a very competitive enrollment process. How do I help her now and throughout her educational career?

My children do not know how to behave. A few years ago the Easter Bunny didn't come because they were not behaving, and that same year I didn't give them a birthday party for the same reason. This year, after putting my tree up, they knocked it down, took all the ornaments off it, and ruined many of my christmas decorations. So I put it all away and told them they would not be getting Christmas this year. If other family members give them gifts, that is fine. But they will not be getting anything from my husband and I. Do you think that I am being mean? Or that I am expecting to much from my children? I am just wondering what others think.

He is an old friend of the family's and my Mom wanted to know how he was doing, so I found him for her. We talked almost every day and I told him I just wanted to be friends. He said he was ok with that, he wasn't looking for a relationship. Plus I am married. He and my husband hit it off well. But now he is disrespecting me telling me things like I am the biggest woman he was ever with, and making rude comments about women in general, but directing them toward me. I really wish now that I had never found him, he spends almost no time with my Mom, only talking to her once in a while. He has been jaded by the type of woman he chooses to have in his life and uses arrogance as a shield. Once upon a time I thought I was in love with him, but now I just really want him to go away again. It isn't that simple though, I made promises that I have to keep soon. Like take him to a few appointments (he lost his license due to DUI). After that I don't ever have to see him again. It isn't as simple as that though. My Mom loves him like a son. And now he is moving to my city. I know I will be seeing him regularly. How can I deal with it? Why is he being like that? What did I do to him?

Hy 10 year old is dyslexic, but is a ggod student, he seems happy, but tonight he started crying for no reason and says he has dreams that he hurts himself, then he made a gun with his finers and simulated shooting himself in the head. He says he thinks about shooting himself! There are no guns in my home. I don't know what to do! He does not want me to talk to his father about this. What should I do? Only helpful answers please, no rude remarks please

My children are so demanding! I don't give them everything they want and they treat me like sh*t! They yell and scream at me all the time. I can't handle it much longer. I keep telling my husband that I need a break, and he does as much as his work schedule allows. BUt sometimes I just want to go away and never come back. I feel like they don't love me. If they did love me they wouldn't treat me this way. I know I am overreacting because they are still young, but my oldest never treated me this way. Has anyone else ever felt this way? If so, what did you do? I love my kids, but I can't handle this.

She left behind 3 girls aging from 7 down to 2 years old. another friend of mine and I are trying to get donations in our town to help her parent's raise her girls. Things like diapers and toilet paper, things they will need everyday. But I also want ot do something to help with their expenses. What would be a good way to honor my friend and raise money for the girls?

HOw do you casterate a redneck?

Sorry guys, but that is just funny!!!!

Why do men snore when lying on their backs?

Becuase thier balls fall over theirr @holes causing vapor lock.

4 years ago, I gave birth to a little girl. Her father didn't want any children and I was on birth control when I concieved. We went our seperate ways. I fianlly went after a DNA test to prove that he was the father becuase he has denied her to his family. BUt he has said to me the he beleived he was her father. I have not asked him for child support, and I will not, I wish for him to sign off so that my husband may adopt her. However I still wish for her to know her father's family. Am I doing the right thing by her, asking them to give my child a chance?

Ok, here is my problem, I need a non-confrontational way of talking to my husband about my brother. They get along better than my brother and I do, but that isn't the problem. They talk about all my faults. I am feeling hurt right now that thy are doing this. I have asked both my brother and my husband to stop. But they don't.lately, they went over to my in-laws (whom I love dearly and get along with) and while they were there all they did was talk about my faults, things my husband knew about before we were even married. I feel like my brother is trying to sabotage this realtionship like he has in past ones, but when I try to talk to my husband about this, he accuses me of comparing him to them, not the situation that is similar. I want to work this out, but I am lost as to how to do it. Pleae help me, I don't need any rude answers, I need caring and understanding ones, please.

Ok. here is the problem. My brother moved back to our home town yesterday. I still live here. My brother and I had a very rocky relationship and have hardly spoken in 8 years. In the past he has done some very cruel things to me, including sabotoging a past relationship with my son's father. He says he has changed and wants to start anew with the family. And were it seems he has changed a bit, I still see some of the old him. I am married now, and he has already bonded with my husband and my children. I have told my husband my feelings about this. I am afraid he may also sabotoge this relationship.

I am to be a witness at my cousin's trial at the end of March. I don't know what to expect from either the defense or the prosecution. His court appointed attorney has only visited my cousin once, and already believes my cousin is guilty. There is a question as to the year in which the offense happened (the prosecution is saying it was 10 years ago, when in fact it was less than that) and I can help prove the true timeline.

My son fell and sprained his ankle while at school, He told 2 different teachers he was in pain, he was not allowed to see the nurse because she was leaving for another school a few minutes after the fall happened, I was not called. He had to walk on it for the rest of the day. I realize that it was just a sprain, no big deal. But wouldn't it be neglectful for a school, not to allow a child to receive medical attention, or contact their parents?

Would it be ok to celebrate this without offending any one, and what would be a good website to learn about it? I am thinking about doing it next year when my kids are old enough to remember it, right now they are 2 and 3.

I used to love Christmas. Everything became a miricale when people started putting up lights, and I started buying gifts for my kids. I couldn't wait to hear carols and watch cheesy holiday movies. This year, I don't really care about it all. Not one bit. I don't want to put up my tree, I don't want to buy my kids anything. I really hate going into the stores and hearing the music. WHats wrong with me? Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm already planning the chicago Institue of Art and the feild Museum (its a college sponsored trip) but after that I get the run of the city, any places I should see? I am on a budget do free sites or cheap sites would be best.

Where is the real birthplace of the republican party? I need city and state.

I was told that through my fathers family (He is an Ely) that we are decended from a Lord who's son was sent to the Americas. Can someone help me with any information. Sorry but I can't give a year or other date, I am just trying to find out if this can be true or not. Thank you.

my daughter is 3 now, and I have not forced support (or even started it) but now she needs surgery and I can't get her family medical history from her biological father's family becuase they believe she isn't his daughter.
