My son is soon to be 16 months old. He is very intelligent, and understands most of everything I say. He knows 6 body parts, and can retrieve anything I ask of him..i.e coat, socks, shoes, cup, diaper etc. However, he did not babble much as a small baby, does not call us mom or dad (sometimes says it but doesnt seem to be directed towards us). He does not try to answer questions with words and communicates by grunting and pointing. He sort of says "kitty" (zizzy) and his word for truck is the sound it makes. that is the extent of his vocab. all other children his age I see are saying at least a few words and try to talk. I have read that he could have a speech disability because he is not talking yet..but some people say he is just a late talker. I am very worried. (link)

Maybe you are meeting all his needs before he has to say anything. Kids talk when they need things. Very good parents promote late talkers. I noticed my son started talking when I went back to work and was more distracted or tired to run and meet all his needs before they became urgent needs.

my 1 year is tomorrow and i really need to get my bf a gift!!! HELP! i've done a lot of gifts for him already.. mainly revolving around pictures. i waant something REALLY special. any ideas? (link)

Don't be shocked if you spent more time, thought and money on this than he did. A lot of guys forget anniversaries and don't do much for you. You might want to make sure to remind him. Then keep it simple.

I would just like to know...if a guy & girl is flirting back & forth just at work...nothing serious, but, they are interested in each other...does the guy think about that girl as much as she does about him? Or do guys just think flirting as being friendly & don't give it a second thought? (link)
| |
Males think of the present moment. They knock on all doors to see which one opens. In other words, they don't just flirt with girls they are interested, they also flirt with the ones that might be interested in them. Unless they are really young or act like and think like girls

hey, does anyone know any songs about getting over an ex boyfriend. the general type of music i listen to is alternative, punk, pop,indie,and techno music. my favorite bands are jacks mannequin, dashboard confessional, mayday parade and all time low. thankkk you! (link)
| |
All songs serve to remind you of how you are not over it. Songs about being over it wreak of not being over it. When you are over it, you wont ask for advice nor play songs about it. You will be busy in love and have "our song" with someone new.

I had a boyfriend of 8 months. My first love. We broke up in September. I was heartbroken. I've learned to let it go and things aren't awkward or anything. But just recently, I've begun to miss him a lot. I think it's because I found out he was moving on to another girl and I was cleaning out my closet and I saw all the stuff he gave me, and I just broke down into tears. I like other people and things, but I always just wonder what I could have changed to make him not break up with me. I want to tell him this so bad because no one else can help me through this. He still knows me the best. I'm not expecting him to take me back, I know he won't but I don't know what else to do. I'm over it, I'm just not fully over him. (link)

Relationships end for good reasons. If I had a room full of all my past relationships, who would I want back? NONE. I love to miss past romances, I always think back on how good it was. Its a thing some of us do. If you really want to let go, date others, erase all numbers, destroy letters and pics, delete emails and dont look him up and dont play old songs. There is nothing like a new guy to get over another guy. But odds are, some of us love to not get over it.

I fell in love with this guy who once told me he loved me too. The next thing I know he moved to his other parents house, not going college, and wasn't doing anything productive for his future. Its been three years since he said those words. He had a girlfriend when he said those words. He sent me a myspace message the other day and I don't know why he did it. I was doing just fine until he spoke to me again. I was just getting over him. It wasn't just love but it was great love. What do you think it means? Why is he sending me a message after three years? (link)

People get bored in all relationships whether its good or bad. They like to tap old resources because its easier than looking for someone new. It's more dramatic and it seems girls always fall for the love that wasn't story. He is probably still attached to someone otherwise he would be looking for someone new, which takes effort and being single. Move on. I think I have IMed or emailed or googled about 5 old romances just for the fantasy of the impossible lost love feeling. Ultimately, you end up with the one that is in you path. Which is boring.

I have been divorced for 3 years. My ex married a girl who wanted me dead throughout our 10 year marriage. She has a few screws loose. She has succeeded in shutting out his entire family,threatend to have me killed, now she is working on our children. My kids would always come home sad. Finally my 10 and 11 year old girls came home and said that when the new wife picks up and brings home our kids for the weekend she says " Me and your father had sex last night.." and proceeds to describe it!!!! I asked my girls why they didnt tell me before and they were too ashamed.My girls said they have sex with the door wide open also, the wife says that she has an open door policy in her home. How disgusting. I have done everything I can to get along with this woman but she is psychotic. The girls told her they are uncomfortable with it and she said too bad we are an open family and we discuss everything.. POWER TRIP?? Is there anyone out there who thinks this is INSANE? WHAT SHOULD I DO??? I adore my kids and want the best for them. Thank you! Kimberly (link)

You need to shut her little game down hard. Report both of them to CPS. File child abuse against her specifically both criminally and civil. Get a lawyer to call her and rattle her cage. Call her job and have your lawyer interview (deposition)her colleagues about this. Get a court order of protection from them to keep your kids from going there. Have your kids depositioned by an attorney. If you think you can get away with it, have a male friend confront her in front of friends and family about these specific acts she has been blabbing about. Sue both of them. He needs to see you are the tougher female here. These are your kids.

I (27) like this girl (25), got along great until I found out she had a boyfriend, i did subject myself to meet him (in her company). Honastly, if he turned out to be a ass wipe i would have moved in.
He seemed pretty descent, so i backed off.
Couple of months later (keeping once a month or so contact with her) I find out they made out, I know through sources, but only after declining a invite to a outing with her. But then I didn't want to see her and the (now ex) boyfriend doing...whatever.
Now that I do know however, she doesn't seem to be taking my calls (four in a row).
I can take that it has only been a month since the breakup, but she is a REALLY awesome girl, arty, intelligent, gorgeous and (perhaps seemingly) pure. I'm kinda afraid another guy would move in.
Do i keep hammering against the wall (like maybe once or twice a week), or do i back off.
By the way, if I don't get her on a date/outing I won't probably wont see her again.
Any Advice please? (link)

Move on. There's a lot of fish in the sea. I have liked someone terribly, dated them once and because of work, they left. I have run into them again and continued dating thinking what luck. Soon it turned to crap. Illusion over. Then you meet some other fab person and on and on.

I am so devastated! My fiancee of 3 months is texting and calling an 18 year old girl secretly. The problem is he is 43. She works at a place he plays darts at on Wednesdays and Fridays. I looked up his cell records and there is over 100 text and picture messges sent between the 2 in the last 4 months. He said they only talk once in a while but I got suspicious when his phone is always on vibrate and his text, incoming and outgoing calls (except for mine) are deleted every day. one phone call lasted 44 minutes. She sent him a text when he was in the shower letting him know how good her bubble bath was! He denies any and everything. AM I CRAZY!? I am 30 years old and I told him I cant compete with that!Please help (link)

Destroy his phone and hide his bill. When he gets a new one, change the phone to full ring and then really jump his cage. Get the number of the girl and call her and jump her sh-t. Go to the bar where he goes or send a friend to spy and shut his game down. That is what it took to get my fiance to quit his little freedom flirting. He first broke it off but then came back realizing that the skanks he was flirting with, were flirting with other guys and he didnt like it done to him. He learned his lesson two ways: a: i wont let it slide and b: what goes around comes around.

My wife and I had been married for over four years.
I have ADD and high anxiety which I'm not taking medication for.
I had a pretty good paying job but was laid off early 1n 2007.
My eyes started giving me problems before the lay off but I did get them checked out while I still had insurance.
Found out this year that both of my eyes have cataracts. I've attempted working at three jobs but my eye sight prevented me from passing the probationary period.
Here's my issue. I had a step daughter that had always found a ways into getting into trouble. Everything you asked her not to do, she went ahead and done. The computer she would stay on Instant messaging, My spacing all her friends till early morning.
I gave her so many chances but she proved to me she didn't care.
Her mother and I constantly fought about her because every time I tried to lay the Law down, the discipline was always to severe.
Even if it was just a few weeks without the computer.
Then she started on the phone..the same thing.
My wifes daughter wouldn't barely do any thing in the house.
And after her mother and I told her we expected more from her since she was 16, like washing clothes, doing the dishes...she made sure she washed only her stuff when begged, ( and if she washed three loads of clothes, it would take over three days and then you'd never find them put away) until I got so tired and fed up with her and the way me and her mother fought all of the time because how she ran the house, I made her move out when she turned 18 and graduated.
My step daughters every other word was profanity, and I don't think that she once told her mother or me the truth.
And Lord if you found her in a lie ( which was always ) she would cover it up with another one. She never admitted to anything she done. From bringing guys over when her mother and I were gone, to finding a ways to explain why she messed around with her best friends boyfriend.
Well, My father and mother passed away with cancer. And I made sure that no body smoked in the house. My wife and I don't smoke.
My wife invited her brother over ( or he invited his self ) and in both houses we used to live in, he smoked in each one, not caring.
And my wife let him and to this day, if he wanted to visit...I'm sure the same thing would have happened.
Well again, on Christmas eve of 2007, her daughter wanted to spend the night with us, to be there on Christmas. She smoked.
When I went down to visit my family in Alabama, mysteriously as it sounds, my wife let her daughter move back in knowing full well we never got along. Knowing full well her daughter never listened to one rule of the house, never helped out.
Then one day out of the many fights that broke out in the few months her daughter stayed there, my wife asked me to leave. And I did.
Amy, was I asking to much? Showing respect seems to be a thing of the past in today's society, but the way my wife handled each situation, and the way her daughter and her whispered and told there secrets, was it fair or justified at the way things were handled?
It seems as though the many things I accused her daughter of doing, my wife finally told me that yes, she did smoke pot, yes she was smoking in every room in the house when she ( her mother ) was in the hospital, yes, she fooled around with boys when we weren't there.
But instead of digging in deep and finally sticking up to her guns
and giving discipline to her daughter, it was easier to let me go.
What are the parameters of a marriage? Just because a person has children, does that erase the morality or any since of any opinion I may have had? I love her mother very much, but would I be asking for more heart ache if I tried pursuing this marriage. I don't want to walk away from this marriage. To me I think the Lord gave her to me, I'll get counseling and change anything I can.
But if I'm going to be the only one who'll attempt to change, will
this be visible?
Thank you (link)

Stepchildren, particularly female steps try expecially hard to break up a marriage. I was engaged to a man with custody of his son and daughter. We had serious problems, like his drinking and cheating but he changed that. What we could not overcome was the daughter constantly causing problems between us. Bottom line is you can change she can change but her kids have no interest in not damaging your marriage, on the contrary. If your wife lets her be part of the problem she will never change.

ok so me and my ex recently broke up and he owes me $40.00. The problem is we dont like talking to eachother and we get into an argument every time we speak! so how should i ask him for my money??? (link)
| |
40 bucks well spent. By owing you money, he will stay away. Let it go. Its worth the peace.

This will be a long question; apologies, but it's complicated.
Background: I once fell head over heels for a girl (call her "Jane"). She and I were friends, but I lacked the courage to try for more. Right before she moved away, I realized it was my last chance to make a move, so I kissed her goodbye. Later, through letters and phone calls, I told her I was in love with her, and she said she felt the same - though I was never really convinced that she felt as strongly as I did. Eventually, she told me she was involved with someone else, and I broke off contact in order to get over her and move on. We had sporadic communication for a while, then finally lost touch completely.
Fast-forward 15 years. I'm thirtysomething, happily married, have kids, but I've never really forgotten Jane (do we ever forget our first love?) Just for kicks, I entered her name into Google, and to my surprise I actually found her. We exchanged e-mail, and then she called me.
Here's where it starts to get complicated, because I expected we would just say "Hey, it's really great to hear from you again, we should stay in touch, blah blah blah," exchange abbreviated versions of our lives so far, and then more or less go back to what we were doing. What I never expected in a million years was that she's actually been thinking about me all this time, that she's still in love with me, and that (to be brutally honest) I've still got strong feelings for her.
I LOVE MY WIFE. I would never leave her, or jeopardize my marriage. I recognize that whatever feelings I have for Jane, they're based on an idealized version of someone I put on a pedestal twenty years ago, and haven't seen since. My question is NOT about whether I should explore an intimate relationship with Jane at this point - the answer to that is "No."
What I need is advice on how to handle this from here. Jane does mean a lot to me and I want to be a friend to her (real friends, not "we can just be friends"), but I don't want to break her heart. Furthermore, I don't want my wife to get the wrong idea (she knows that I got back in touch with Jane - I don't keep secrets from her). No matter how I slice it, I don't see this turning out well. If I had ever considered that Jane might still feel so strongly about me, I would not have resumed contact with her, but what's done is done. Heck, I never really thought she was EVER truly in love with me, let alone that she still is!
In a nutshell -
- I want to avoid breaking Jane's heart.
- I want to stay in touch with her, because she's someone I care about.
- I want to assure my wife that she is still, and always, the real love of my life and more important than anything to me.
Can anyone help me?

Some of us are hard wired to live in the past and wonder what could have been. I was just googling someone in my past and can easily reach him but wont. Whatever he meant to me was not enough to make a go of it. I just find myself googling other people in my past. You don't owe Jane any heartache protection. You haven't been there for her in 15 yrs, I am sure she has grown up emotionally enough to clear up this mess you dragged her into. Let her go, she probably has moved on, or will. If you do love your wife and kids, nurture and protect that. Move on. Don;t contact Jane ever again. Avoid this mess.

Ok, so my friend has become serious with her BF. AND SHES COMPLETELY BETRAYED WHO SHE IS!!! Shes like super perky and totally self-centered all of the sudden. She used to be super nice and caring with a bit of goth-ness to her. Now all she can talk about how happy/lucky she is and completely ignores my problems or anything i want to talk about. I know she loves her BF, i'm not saying they should break up, but how can i tell her about this without looking like a bitch?
This Perky Narcissist is not the girl who used to be my friend.
I want my friend back =( (link)

You are a selfish, depressive, typical gothic, bad friend, retard. I hope your friends dump you in your dumpy selfish world so you can cram all the backward goth clothes up your black hole. You are the bitch in this friendshitp. Maybe she is not a big lesbo like you.
