Is it selfish as a mother to become police officer?
Explain!!
In my case. My kids are 1 and 2... Where I live childcare ridiculous expensive and only high paying jobs are waitressing or degree type of jobs which I do not have. I could just live off welfare for now but but I'm not cut out for stay at home mom thing.
After having desire to serve my community I learned police officers make enough to afford childcare , food and rent and then some.
Obviously there's more reasons I desire to be a police officer...
5 AnswersFamily6 years agoWould I be a bad mom for becoming police officer?
i want to become a detective ultimately but you have to be a police officer for at least two years...my boyfriend does not want me to be police officer...living where I do I have to be committed to possibly being sent outer island for a year to patrol...he takes care of bed ridden gma...and we have two small children...I would have to bring with to live with me while I patrol...relying on hard to find childcare that could accommodate odd shift hours.

4 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agois surgery vital for spiral fractures? 5th metacarpal?
surgery vital for my condition? I have a spiral fracture to the 5th metacarpal. complete break you can see the diagonal fracture in my hand. my original doctor at the er said it should heal fine without surgery. (small town hospital) he put it in a splint and sent me on my way. he gave me a list of orthopedics to follow up with. i got an appt three weeks after the break. th dr took me out of splint told me to make a fist. my two fingers were very stiff and it was sore to make a fist. he said my pinky is slightly twisted and it will heal turning into my other finger, so when i make a fist my pinky will naturally cross under my finger. i am scheduled for surgery 4 weeks into my break. i have never had surgery, and i dont like the idea of someone getting under my skin and putting foreign parts in my hand. my body doesnt do well with ne thing that is not natural. the dr told me there are risksof my bone not healing after surgery cuz of how long its been since i broke it and that would require bone graphing...another surgery. i do not care if it is just a cosmetic blemish to let my hand heal without surgery. but i want to make sure not having surgery will make things more complicated to my overall wel being.

4 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoDo you have metal cavity fillings?? or How do you feel about theM?
Insurance does not pay for composite fillings, they only pay for a portion of the metal fillings and the
composite fillings are very expensive!
I have done research on the material they use for the metal cavities and the health risks are GREAT!
I WOULD LIKE TO create a petition but I need to know who I will be petitioning against! The petition will to BAN ALL METAL CAVITIES from dental use ESPECIALLY ON CHILDREN!
They metal cavities have a seal that can break and allow the cavity to get bigger, and then the filling acts as a block and often cracks teeth. There is serious health risks of longterm use of these fillings, and for the insurance company to only cover a portion of the silver is RIDICULOUS the healthier option is the COMPOSITE and of course it is expensive! The insurance company are promoting metal fillngs verses the composite. I mean come on its 2011 our country is in DEBT like no other and it greatly effects everyone of us.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THESE METAL FILLINGS should NOT EVEN BE AN OPTION AS THE POSE GREATER RISK THEN LOSING A TOOTH TO DECAY
MAHALO
the petition will be at CHANGE.org soon with ur help

3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat should I do when Boyfriend tells me he still has feelings for ex?
We have been living together since Aug 31 2009. It has not been ez. financially between us, and we moved all over the island to find a "HOME". I met him May 2009 when he still had a GF when I vacationed to Hawaii. fell for him, and he seemed to be into me to. He broke up with his GF after we started talking. Then for 3 months we talked on the phone everyday. Since i was goin to hawaii every 3 mos i decided why not move there! So once the summer ended and I had some cash saved i moved in with him. Plans were to get my own place, cuz we both just wanted me out there already. Well about two years later...He tells me how he dreams of her. Has her baby in the dreams. HE still has feelings for her that he will always have. Wishes they could be friends and talk. Tells me hes sorry but hes all messed up inside. I really really love him, but starting to have resentment towards him. Im at a loss as to what to do. We already have so much time into this relationship.

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow do i make my life better?
The reality is. I am a failure. I couldn’t graduate high school. I earned my G.E.D. I tried to go to college, but I failed to do that as well. I failed to maintain a driver’s license. I failed to keep good credit. I failed to pay bills on time. I failed to keep a good job for more than a year. I failed at many relationships. I failed at being a good sister and a daughter. I failed at performing well.
The only thing I accomplished was paying for braces to close my gap. I failed at working for a music production company. I am stuck in a rut. Only I can get myself out of. How do I get myself out of it, without a car, without money, without a phone? I am stuck in self loathing mode. Nothing I have done in these past 20 years has done me or anyone in my life any good. I have ruined things between my mom and her ex-husband. I have ruined my relationship with my mom. I have ruined my stepsisters and mine relationship. I have ruined my boyfriends past relationship. I have ruined myself.
The things that sux is all these things i failed at...are things i cared alot about.
9 AnswersPsychology1 decade agoAre you addicted to anger? Why not?
I have been watching youtube videos about OSHO and his philosophy on life. Then a situation happened shortly after that has affected me for over a day.
I was aware i was upset...but my conscious didnt care. It felt good to be upset and act bitchy. I went to bed sour hoping I would wake up better.
I got sick this morning...then my boyfriend said i could take his car to get food cuz he was still in bed. i went cuz i didnt want to tell him that hes lousy for making me drive to get food when im sick and hes not! blah i brushed it off til now. All day i have been angry about last night still, and to top it off i made a fool of myself in front of my boyfriends good friend also my good friend. I feel so overwhelmed with ANGER and stress i almost feel like an adrenaline junkie, cuz making me mad makes me feel better. To those im mad at, i want to bring down. My boyfriend and my mother.
I feel like i could do so much better without both of them. But then they both hold a very important role in my life.
HIGH ON ANGER!!!
4 AnswersPsychology1 decade agoWhen do we get our souls?
I am not ashamed of the decisions I make. So i dont mind airing out dirty laundry. I recently had an abortion and am having a hard time telling people who think I will be a mother in 9 months. I admit i was irresponsible by conceiving the child in the first place. ( i was 7 weeks when i had the abortion) People talk about abortion like it is murder. The baby is not fully developed. Not its own person yet.
Having this abortion lead me to this question. We all have souls, and when we die they either go to heaven or hell and our bodies are left behind on this planet. But when do we get our soul? is it in the sperm? or the ovary? can we really die if we don't have a soul? do we need a beating heart to have a soul??? At 7 weeks it did not have a heartbeat.
p.s. judge me as you will about the abortion. i accept the fact people are judgemental and think their decisions are better then anyother human.
When do we get our souls?????

8 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWould you leave ur girl if she slept with one of your enemies?
If a girl you were with...was the same girl a guy you truly hate slept with when she was drunk and blacked out months and months before you two ever even thought about gettin together???? would you leave her immediately? or would u understand?
10 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoAm I a grimy, nasty person cuz I slept with a guy who is?
It was not willingly. Hung out with my ex step sister and her friends...trusted them cuz they were her friends. Got way drunk (blacked out) and woke up knowing something happened...and then found out someone took advantage of me.
Now 6 months down the road...i met a guy who knew this guy, and got screwed over by him multiple times. I told him what happened to me...and now he wont talk to me.
I didnt give it up willingly, but i just dont remember fighting him off. Ever since that night i do not get drunk around people i dont trust, and i dont let myself get too drunk.
13 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoIs it a sin to fall in love with your ex's bestfriend?
My sister dated this guy back in high school. I started dating him last week so a good 3 year difference. I have known him since then, and we have been friends. He is now bestfriends with my ex boyfriend. They had met at my 17th birthday party, and when I broke up with my ex a year and a half ago, they got closer. When we started dating the chemistry was off the hook. We got along really really well. Our feelings and beliefs are intense. He has a son who is 3. He lives with his mom. He told me he was in love with his babys momma, but things didn’t work out and now she is with someone else. We are both Christians, but he believes a lil more than I do.We started off dating for fun, then apparently things were too much, cuz he got serious and emotional, talking about how he wanted a family..and he didn’t think I was ready for it. Now we barely talk after he told me I am everything he wants, but theres just so many things that hold us up.
Would I be doing the right thing and letting him go no matter how much I like him , and want to be with him?
