I saw Gia leave on her own, but I missed the very end to see who else went home. Any help would be appreciated!

So I have been friends with this guy for a long time. He was my crush in high school and we have always been just friends...and I finally got to a place where I was okay with that. I figured if anything was gonna happen, it would have happened by now and I was securely in the friend zone. I was at his house for New Years because neither of us are dating anyone and at the last minute we decided to just hang out. We weren't even paying attention to the time and realized we missed midnight. Shortly after we realized this, he was like "where's my kiss?" I was caught completely off guard and said "I didn't know you wanted one." After a little bit of banter, he came over to me and I was just expecting a little platonic peck, but it was a full out kiss! Then we talked a little bit more and before I left we kissed again. Since then, we have just been friends again. No kissing. He told me I could stay the night, but if something was gonna happen, I didn't want it to be a drunk new years thing. We both had some drinks, him more than me.

I don't know what to think. Did I do something to mess things up? I mean did I give him the wrong impression when I didn't stay?

Those kisses just drug up all the feelings for him that I just pushed aside. What do I do now? I can't forget about it.

I can't wait to see it, please tell me!

I have been told that when my daughter's father goes on active duty in August that my daughter is supposed to receive some sort of allotment? When he went on active duty 5 years ago, she did not receive any sort of allotment.

I am having child support issues with her dad and am trying to figure things out, because he is very secretive when it comes to his army paycheck.

I am a single mom to a daughter who will be 15 next month. This week, her attitude has just been out of control. She has been demanding, rude and sometimes just mean. I finally reached my breaking point and canceled her plans to spend the night at a friend's tomorrow night. I have heard all the excuses, bad week at school, etc., but she still expects me to reward her behavior by letting her go to her friend's house. Now, of course, I am the bad guy and everything is my fault.

I would like to hear from other parents with teenagers. Tell me your horror stories!! I know I am doing what I have to, but right now it feels like I am punishing me more than her by making her stay home for the weekend!

I am getting a new computer and want to clear my old one to give to my daughter. I know there is a way to do it, I just don't know how. I want basically everything wiped off of it so she can start fresh. Can anyone help me?
