I'm a very practical 29 year old not at all afraid of turning the BIG 30. I've been through bad relationships, friendships, parental divorce, I'm married with a step-daughter whose mother/my husbands ex-wife is now a lesbian. You name it, I've done it and survived it.

Why is it that every time I talk to my mother on the phone she somehow steers the question towards the fact that I'm not married? I thought she was all proud of me for being a tough independent woman but that all flies out the window when the subject of love comes up. My boyfriend and I are in no hurry to get married, and this is like a personal insult to her or something. I don't get it. (link)

Let her know that you don't want to make a rush decision for her benefit and that you want to make sure who you marry is the right person. There's too many marriages out there based on the wrong reasons-MOMS GETTING THEIR WAY!! Tell her to wake up, it's a new century. Ask her if she wants you to marry for all the wrong reasons or does she want you to have a no fail loving marriage?

I agree with "whatevers" answer, but want to elaborate. If her father is willing to let her do whatever she wants whenever, then he needs to answer the question of "What if something bad happens to her and is he willing to deal with the consequences when she gets in deeper acts more wild?" This definitely has to be a joint effort. But in the same instance, she has to know that although you are the "evil stepmom" she needs to respect your rules as well as you. But remember that you need to give her respect in order to get respect and vice versa.

I'm really confused at the moment. I have this friend. We have been friends for about 8 months. But since January me and him have become really close. I have had loads of friends that are guys but I am his first friend whose a girl. We are always hanging round in college together. People seem to be getting the wrong idea. Anyway a few days ago we were in some real quiet place and he said he was confused to whether he liked me in that way or not. So he tried to kiss me. I didn’t want to because I thought it might change our friendship. I thought it might ruin it. In the end we kissed. It didn’t change anything. I still don't feel for him in that way and he doesn’t feel for me in that way. But then yesterday we kinda kissed again. I don't know what to do. We don’t like eachother in that way so why do we keep doing this. I feel bad afterwards but we aren't hurting anyone. He hasn’t got a girlfriend and I haven’t got a boyfriend. Is this wrong? (link)

I think you both may be feeling a bit lonely, no boyfriend, no girlfriend......It's inevitable. If you think it's wrong and you truly want to hang onto this guy as a friend, don't hang out with him alone. Only hang out in a group.
Smooching with each other and not wanting it to lead to anything more can lead to feelings hurt in the long run and may lead to a severed friendship.

I am 12 and I would like to start babysitting. I have a neighbor who has a 6 year old granddaughter and I occasionally baby sit her for an hour or so. I'd like to have more clients (you could call them), but i don't want to have strangers calling me everything friday night. Any ideas? (link)

Check with your school. Teachers are great references. Also, friends parents can help spread the word as well. Bottom line is, you have to start out with babysitting for some strangers before you start to get a good reputation.

I'm 5'3& 1/2 weigh 165lbs, and would like to be 135 at least. I'm a mother of a 4-year old, live in a small apartment where the only room I can exercise in is the livingroom, and it's carpeted, and hard to do aerobics on. Can anyone recommend a good exersize mat? What's bothering me lately is that on top of all that, my face is getting rounder, and my chin is starting to sag. My mother is overweight and her chin is like that too, so I'm afraid it's hereditary. Is there anything I can do to firm this area up? I think that I'm reasonably attractive but I used to be so skinny in high school and my 20's and sometimes I get so depresssed that I'll never lose this extra weight. Most of it is in my middle, stomach, and thighs. I feel that nothing really looks good on me. I also crave junk food and I would like some advice on a sensible easy diet that doesn't require a lot of expense to get my weight under control, and don't forget about the chin thing. Whew! I need help! (link)

Make smoothies your best friend. You can buy frozen fruit, and a quart of low fat or fat free vanilla yogurt for very little. Make smoothies
for breakfast, snack or late evening snack.
Depending on the safety of your neighborhood, you and your daughter can walk to a local park, bike ride, rollerblade. If your neighborhood isn't safe, drive to one that is, park and walk around, meet new people. Now's the time to show your 4 yr old that excercising can be fun.
