I need to buy gifts under $25 for three boys- ages 11, 12, and 14. This is through a charity, so I have no idea what these boys like. I need some ideas as to what to get them and don't want to get boring stuff, like socks. Please help!!

My parents have been divorced for 20 years. My mother still talks about how much she hates my dad and will be glad when he dies. My dad doesn't even mention my mother. If I talk about my dad to my mum, she freaks out and calls me selfish and says I don't respect her. So...

My grandfather (mum's dad) passed away last Wednesday. My grandmother (father's mum) passed away on Tuesday. I was close to both of them, and this has been extremely difficult to deal with.

Last night I called my mother crying about missing my grandmother. She got irritated and said I was not to mention my grandmother in front of her out of respect. I understand she hates my father, but why can't I mourn my grandmother's and grandfather's deaths together. I was told I can only mourn my grandfather in front of her. When I started crying, she told me I need to "get a grip." I am so hurt. This is supposed to be my mother. She's never really been supportive, but this is ridiculous. Is this right?

The maid of honor from hell has not purchased her dress, attended any wedding-related functions, or even called or sent a text message. The wedding is in 3 weeks. Any suggestions?
