Hey everyone,
My sister n law is having a baby, and she just found out today that she's going to be having another boy! I was wondering if anyone could help me out, and suggest any boy names pretty much that you can think of. I already suggested about 45 names to my brother, and he hasn't liked any of them! He's the most picky person I know! I know alot of the common ones people use these days, so if you can try not to suggest some of those. Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate it! I'll rate you a 5 if you try, cuz I'm a really nice person. :-)

This site is a great site because it provides a lot of eclectic names that your sister in law might be interested in.

Hope I helped, and congratulations for the new mom!

My eyebrows are really hairy! I have super long hairs and I look really bad. My mom won't letme get them waxed..I have asked her many times and she won't let me. I've tried plucking them but they hurt! I don't know what to do because I'm about to be a junior in high school and it's really getting to me! Any advice would be greatly appriciated! Also, don't tell me to sit down and talk to my mom-it won't work..Also, peopple that give crazy answers that want attention, please don't answer! (link)

Help for the plucking-
Try holding an ice cube on the area you want to pluck for a while. It will become a little numb and less succeptable to pain, so it will hardly hurt at all when you pluck.
There are also at-home cool wax strips, which you place on the hairs you want to take out and press it there, and then the hairs will automatically stick to the wax on the strips and they will come out that way.
A GREAT product is from TV (but is available in stores) called Finishing Touch, which is a mini-razor that doesn't need cream, and it doesn't hurt at all, it just removes the hair from where you don't want it by holding the pen-shaped appliance and keeping the rotating razor on top of the hair.

My mom is bananas.
She doesn't listen to me. Ever. Like, for example, today, I asked her to pick me up a block away from school. She was standing RIGHT out front, so I told her how appalled I was at her behavior and she cancelled my manicure. Her excuse was 'You have a friend'. Yeah, a friend that I carpool with every day.
I always get in trouble, and this summer is going to be full of fun, so i need ways to deal witht his. Thanks! (link)

Your mom sounds a little bit forgetful. Okay, a lot forgetful. If I were you, I'd take Post-Its or a card tucked into her work lunch to remind her where to pick you up. Even if my parents are extremely late and I get mad, they always tell me that I'm being silly and that I need to be more mature. Your mom probably feels embarrassed that she messed up where to pick you up, so she was trying to find an excuse to make it all better, which of course it didn't. Use a lot of computer reminders and things like that, and your summer will be a great one!

Today, my family and I (14/m) were out playing sports. All was well for a while. Untill my lil brother started to misbehave and be uncooperative.I got vexxed, but i controlled my rage untill we got home.
At home, i was still vexxed.
(since my birthday is about a montn away)My mom asked me what i wanted for my birthday. I told her "i want my brother to be gone for my birthday. that would be the perfect gift."
She got vexx at me. so vexx she couldn't speak. Sheleft the room.
I went to look for her later and i found her crying. what i said really got to her emotionally. she just looked at me like everything was lost.
that look got to me. i am sorry i told her that.
but i dont know what to do.
What should i do?
i can't let her feel like she grew me up wrong- i am her 1st born. she will just give up with the others too.
please help.

I would go and profusely apologize to your mom, and just explain to her what happened that made you so mad at your brother. She will understand that brothers bicker sometimes, and you will get mad at him sometimes.
I doubt that she would feel like she raised you wrongly- it's common for brothers to fight, and she probably feels overwhelmed with raising the two of you. Remember- She will always love you and your brother no matter what, and she won't ever give up on the others.
Hope I helped :-)

ok, my birthday is in 5 days and my mom usually asks all her kids what they want and where they want to go out to dinner for their birthday. well, she didn't ask me anything yet and she forgot 2 years ago and i think she forgot again =/. i feel like she doesnt even care and i've tried to hint to her that i actually have a birthday unless i'm delirious and its not april 21st today? (link)

I wouldn't worry about it unless your mom has a lot on her mind and a lot on her schedule. If she does, then you probably should just remind her that it's your birthday in five days, or more subtly tell her, "You know, for my birthday I would really like _______, and I can't wait to see if I get it on April 26th!" Don't worry about it at all, because remember, it's your special day, so someone will always remember.

My mom is like soooo annoying! She constantly makes me repeat myself and takes everything the wrong way(for example: i'll say something like completely random and not in a mean way or anything and she'll take it as an insult and i'll give her an insult and she thinks its like a joke or something). Also, she still treats me like i'm about 3 years old and I'm actually 14!I try to put up with her the best I can but I usually end up being mad at her for severaly pissing me off. I know it doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but believe you me it gets extremely frustrating after 14 long years! Also she always points out the odvious and asks stupid questions and never listens to any answers! plus I just wanted to send in a question cuz this is my first!:) (link)

I get mad a lot at my mom too, but it happens a lot when they realize that you are growing up: they don't want to lose the darling daughter that always listened to whatever they said and whatever they told her to do. You need to remember that she's not in the same generation as us, and she won't know that the things we say aren't insults but playful jokes, etc.

I have a cousin who puts my probles on here for the world to know! It's really annoying me..what should I do..I don't want to seem mean though.. (link)

Just tell him straight up in a calm manner that you don't want other people intruding on your life. If he doesn't listen to you, go to your uncle or aunt, or your parents. They will be the best help that you can get.
