A few months ago, I was in a waiting cell (jail) for traffic tickets. The sheriff said that if I can pay the sum, I'd be let go. (Unfortunately people who steal, use drugs, assault can post bond, but not people with traffic tickets. The irony) My mom borrowed money from her friend to bail me out. She SAID she also borrowed money from my aunt at first, but that she "lost" the 200 dollars my aunt loaned her, so she asked her other friend for the full amount which was 400 dollars.

Anyhow, she paid, I got out, and paid her in full in a period of 1 month. She claims I still owe her the 200 she "lost".

DO I still owe her the money SHE lost? After all, I don't know for sure she lost it.

So... Do I owe it to her, or does SHE need to pay my aunt back herself for losing the money herself?

I know the money was SUPPOSED to be for me. But I swear, I SWEAR, I PROMISE... my mother is a very greedy person. So I don't know if I trust her. And I'm confused. The 400 is paid for, but the 200 she lost isn't.

So.. Do I pay it or not???

These two cost EXACTLY the same, which means they are of equal QUALITY.

I've tried them both... and well...

If you have ALSO tried them BOTH what did you think?

Do you go with the all time Huggies Supreme, or with the newest Pampers Swaddlers?

I'm ONLY specifically asking of these two. I can give pros and cons about both, yet one really is my type.

What do YOU ALL think???

ONLY people who have tried them BOTH... PLEASE!

Thank you!!!!

I'd like to know how some parents handle or may handle bullying. What do you tell your child about this?

How would you like them to handle it?

How do you feel about it?

What would you tell them about the bully?

Even if it's just "mild" bullying, like "no you can't play with us" or "don't be his/her friend" type of things.

This question is referring to children between the ages of 5-7.

Older children might handle it different, or can understand with different words, but what would you tell a 5-7 year old?

After being bullied so much, my mother just said, "Hit them back, Don't let yourself be bullied!"

And let me tell you, it was a BIG mistake! (no comment)

But I really don't want to consider violence/retallitation.

What do you think?

I've handled issues the best I can. I feel good about some techniques I told my daughter to use, but it's always good to know more, and advice is always sweet. Like a condiment, might not go with everything, but when the time is right, it goes perfect when needed.

Sorry I don't know too a lot of the lyrics in the song. It's a HIP HOP song and it has a catchy line, it says... " Go on raise your kids, put a man in their life."

Something like that. Do you know who sings it, or the name of it?

Thanks a lot...

(It was played a lot last year in 2008)

This past Saturday, my daughters and I stayed home watching tv. My oldest was in OUR room at first, then she went to the living room with me. My baby feel asleep so I laid her down on the couch. My oldest and I must've dozed off on the recliner chair.

I then woke up around 12 something. I woke my daughter up so that she can go lay down in our room. I told her I'd get her sister, and be there shortly.- I drank a glass of water and put my phone to charge. Our house isn't that big, which means she had time to go and lay down. I carried the baby over there, then I see my daughter dashing towards me, at the door. The light was on, of course, she had left it on when she was there earlier watching tv.

So I laid the baby on the bed. The look on her face was sorta weird, but I really never thought of what she'd say next, as to why she was so scared.

So I kept asking her "Whats wrong?" And she just wouldn't speak. Her eyes were WIDE OPEN, and she looks EXTREMELY SCARED.

Finally, all she was able to say was, " He grabbed me." I went so crazy, I thought someone was in the house. I screamed and yelled for whoever to come out. I grabbed the scrissors and went looking around. I called the cops, and had them come over. After about 5 minutes, I decided we should go outside and wait. I just didn't feel right.

So we went outside and waited in my car. (while we were inside for those 5 minutes, when i kept asking her how the person looked she kept repeating she was scared)

So while in the car, I asked again... This time i convinced her it was okay, we're safe now. So what she told me next scared me half to death. She said there was a man with a black costume, and no face, just black. I knew then that what she saw wasn't human.

See, this isn't the first time she sees such thing. When she was about 2 1/2 she saw things I couldn't see, and I was right in front of her. She'd look toward the dark, and say "Tell it to go away, the man is bloody, tell him to go away." Few days later, when she saw an image of Jesus, with the thorns in his head, she said that was the man she saw.

So she'd seen things before. I've never tried scaring her like i've seen others do their kids, telling her the monster is going to get her etc. And we didn't watch any scary movies that night.

She's 5 years old now, and I can honestly, tell you, she doesn't lie. If she's done something wrong before, and I ask her if she did it, she will say the truth, and tell me why. This is how I gained her trust.

Yesterday, I had a friend come over. My friend is very religious, and we usually exchange stories about how good things happend because of Jesus etc.

So my daughter went up to her and told her she saw a monster. My friend asked her to draw it (which didn't occur to me) and when she did, she drew a kinda cape, usually the ones you'd see Death wear, the long hooded black cape, but for the face She just shaded that part black.

Yesterday when we talked about it, although it kinda scared me to do so, I told her how sometimes those "things" get jealous because we love Jesus etc. And sometimes they appear to us to try to scare us, but they can't harm us. (we do pray every night, that night, we didn't because we both dozed off). She then said," yes mommy, but it was weird because I wasn't dreaming, I really saw it, and it touched me and woke me up. She even showed me where it stood and everything.

When the cops came that night, one cop talked to my daughter, my daughter told her what she saw, but when the officer told me she must've seen a shadow and what not, she was a little iffy when I told her that the lights in the room were on when she saw it.

What do you think about such incidents?

Im aware children can make up such stories, but they are not good to ACT OUT being frightened.

The look in her face, I will never forget, and she was just speechless.

Has anything similar happend to you or your kids??

No negative feedback please. If you don't believe thats fine, but no bad criticism towards my child, please, she's a great kid, and it would bother me if you did such thing.

Thank you all...

It has to do with the Daycare. This morning when I brought in my 1 yr old, she just started crying, as always. She's been crying ever since they moved her to another "class" with (some 2) 3 and 4 year olds.

I've been taking her there since she was 7 months. She didn't start off as a cryer, and absolutely loved her "teachers".

So today, I heard the manager there ask, "Who's crying". So the "teacher" said it was Cristaline. And so she stayed quiet. She couldn't see me, but she knew I was there still, because I had to go in throught the other side. So I heard the other woman there say, " Gosh, you're just not letting nobody cry today, are you?"

So I went around to ask her why she asked who was crying. Can they NOT cry? And her response was, "because I wanted to." I said "because you wanted to, what?" She said I wanted to know, that's why! - I was in shock. So I asked her WHY did you want to know, and she kept repeating the same thing, until she came up with some bogus answer.

See the thing is, that woman has ALWAYS had me worried, since day one. But since my 5 year old was attending before she started school, I figured that she can tell me if anything was wrong.

Now that she's in school, I only take the baby. And she's been crying every day, even before we walk in. She just sees the outside and cries.

Before (2 weeks ago) she'd run in, and now, she cries. And it's got me worried.

Would you worry if your childs' attitude about something changed overnite, after a sudden change?

Could it just be me, who is paranoid, and me who needs to just take a deep breath?

It's just that something doesn't quite feel right. And the reason I have her there is because it's the closest daycare from work. I am a single mother, so it's a little difficult to just request a sudden change, or just withdraw her from there. I need to work to survive.

Any advice is good... Thank you!

for people who've heard "freestyle music" from 80's and 90's...there's this song and it says...

"this is the last time you break my heeeeaaaart.... This is the last time, no more second chances, and now you'll never know what true romance iiiiiiis".

It's a female singer, I just dont know who, or the name of the song, and when i type the lyrics, it will not show up.

if some men are considered/called SUGAR DADDYS' then what are the young women called...?

i thought it was candy girl, but i read the Urban Dictionary Def. and it says something different...

NO! not the female version of sugar daddy.

the GIRL the sugar daddy spends money on... what is she called?

My fiance (ex fiance) left us. Just like that, pregnant, and i have a daughter with him, and MY oldest as well. He didn't even say goodbye, didn't let us know he was leaving or anything. I understand if he wasn't into the relationship anymore, but he didn't have to leave just like that. I don't care that he left me, but the kids! It hurt... it hurts, really bad. His relatives said he went back to his hometown.

I, so badly, want to go look for him there, and ask him why he left just like that. He didn't have to leave the way he did. He didn't take any of his belongings, he just left with his nosey *** dad, whom by the way, is always in our business, along with the rest of his family.

What would you do if this happend to you?

Would you go and find that person to get an explanation, for closure?

Is closure something everyone NEEDS?

How do you feel about that?

what do poor people have, that rich people need?

(try not to google it.)

I had a friend, whom was cheating on her husband, who was also my friend, before her. I was the one who got them together. And, of course I talked to her more, we shared everything. It would make me unconfortable to hear about her and her lover, knowing that she was a home body and her husband was out working hard for her and her kids, always had nice clothes, shoes, purses, money. He'd even leave her the truck during the day, and she'd go to the lovers house in it, drive him around in it, etc etc. She would even have sex with her lover in their bed. Plus, that guy was such a loser, he once IMed me and said I was sexy etc etc, and when I told her, (I even took a screen picture of it and sent it to her) she called me out with him on the line. I was so mad. And her excuse for being a whore was that her husband was emotionally mean, the sex wasn't good etc etc, not considering the fact that her husband worked, and the lover didn't.

Anyhow, one day, I mentioned to her a problem between me and my own boyfriend, which hurt me soooooooo much. She went and told her lover, and she had the nerve to call me, being there with him, and asking me about my boyfriend, then I heard ' The Jerk' comment and laugh about the situation. I hung up the phone in her face, but being so mad I called her back to call her out on it, and she didn't answer, so I went off on her voicemail. Since then, we haven't talked since. Was I wrong, or was she? I sometimes miss the way things were before the jerk, but if she doesn't apologize, I won't either, and I guess it means we'll never be friends again...any advice?

He knew about the incident, and his brother and I weren't a couple,either. HE was actually the one who said he didn't care about what had happend. Now we have a baby, and another on the way which means we will always be connected, however, will the incident be a problem later. He very rarely throws it in my face, but I remind him that that is how he wanted me. Do you think it often crosses his mind?
