If you saw a VERY young mother at the grocery store...what would you say?
Posted Tuesday October 6 2009, 2:02 am
I am 19 and have a 4 1/2 yr old daughter and my boyfriend has a 18 month old son that lives with us. I am now very pregnant with twins.
Today, after I had picked up the kids from pre-school and daycare, I went into the store to pick up some things for dinner. While I was picking up the baby and putting him in the cart, my little girl was playing by the quarter machines. A woman (probably about 30 years old) saw me and said, "Aren't you a little young to have a baby with another one on the way?" I didn't get a chance to say anything when my daughter came running over, screaming, "Mommy!!!" The woman just looked at me glared, shook her head, and left. I just wonder what people must think of me. Yes, ...

Boyfriend's Dad being a jerk
Posted Monday October 5 2009, 10:19 pm
Ok, so my boyfriends dad offered to sell me a car, that was valued at 6000, for 1500. He said eh wanted to keep the insurance and title in his name until the car was paid off. I had no problem with that, but when i was on my way to take him somewhere, someone ran a red light and smashed the car. its gone, totalled. now he wants to pay his random bills with the settlement! My bf thinks im being selfish by thinking that he should keep the 1500 that he would have gotten from me out of the settlement, and give me the rest to get a new car. Am i being selfish, or is his dad being a real jerk? I really think that he only wanted to keep it in his name so that he could reap the benefits if I got in an accident. Help! dont want to see his face ever...

Mom "I can't take it anymore, there is too much fights going on at home, its so unpeaceful."

I'm only 16 years old ,I as well have a 6 year old sister.
My mom is a drug attitic and was sober for 4 monthes after a 9 month relapse,which was the worst time of life for me.

best way to tell my parents that I'm pregnant!
Posted Friday October 2 2009, 1:00 am
My husband and I are FINALLY expecting our first baby and we are so excited! I'm about three and a half months pregnant now and we think it's time to tell our parents about the great news. We thought it might be super cute to take a home pregnancy test and then mail it to them! :D Do you think this is a good idea? If so, how exactly do I do that? Just shove it in an envelope and send it off to them? haha

rebuilding trust

I am a female minor of 16 who had an online relationship with a man 8 years my senior behind my family's back. I had done this once before but with a different individual and i no longer have contact with the first person. I met him at a hotel room 3 times and although we didn't have sexual intercourse i thought i was pregnant somehow and my period was late with strong feelings of nausea. I told my mom all of this and although she was terribly devastated she proceeded to take me to the doctor and tests were done. I am not pregnant and have no STI's, and now my mother and father and i don't know what to do. Only they and the man i was involved with know. I want things to go back to how they were before they knew, but i understand that it isn...

divorce?
Posted Monday September 28 2009, 3:37 pm
I have a nine month old daughter and i'm 19. I am married to the father of my baby. When we got married 11 months ago i told him that i wouldn't marry him unless he stopped smoking weed. since then, he has stopped and has done many good things, such as get his GED and be a great dad and show a desire to go to school. recently however he told me that he didn't see a problem with it, and that it wouldn't hurt anything if he smoked weed 4 times a month. I told him that it would hurt me, and he said well if you don't love me enough to let me do it then i guess we can't be together. I need to know if I am being too strict and i just need to deal with it, or if I do need to leave him. Please help me.

Parents Divorce- don't know what to do.
Posted Sunday September 27 2009, 10:29 pm
My parents just got separated after over thirty years of marriage. I knew well in advance that it would eventually happen, and today I found out that my dad moved out. I know that it is for the best- they could not possibly go on with a lifeless marriage.
My dad is doing fine, and has a plan set in mind as to where he will live, what he has to do to eventually finalize a divorce, etc., My mom, on the other hand, is not taking any of this well. She was shocked, and insisted she wanted to work on herself and make things better- we all know, by the way, that things are broken beyond repair, and have been for as long as we can remember. So my concern has to do exclusively with my mom.
To add, I go to grad school ...

Parents acting weird
Posted Sunday September 27 2009, 12:10 pm
Sorry for the extreme length, haha :(
I have these really cool parents...they don't really yell a lot and I can joke around with them all the time and they give me lots of space
But lately a lot of bad things have been happening. The dryer doesn't work, our dog got hit for the second time and is now paralyzed from the hips down, our shower is not draining properly, and we don't have any money to top it all off. And also, on my part, over the weekend I had a 103 fever and I'm still sick, a lot of my friends have been mad at me for no reason, and the guy I've liked for a really long time just got a girlfriend.
I know all of this is really stressful, and especially to my parents. But lately they've been tak...

My husband was my brother from another mother
Posted Wednesday September 23 2009, 9:45 pm
For 15 years I was a happily married homemaker with a wonderful husband. "Duncan" and I attended church together, frolicked through the fields, even exterminated rodents together. He was my best friend. It was bliss.
Last year I found out my father had had an affair with Duncan's mother the year I was born, which makes him my half-brother! The news was too much for my husband. He had a fatal heart attack not long after.
What should I put on his gravestone -- "Loving Brother" or "Loving Husband"?

The Evil Sister-in-Law
Posted Wednesday September 23 2009, 6:34 pm
My brothers wife, well hates me. She gets along perfectly fine with every other female in my family except ME. I have never done anything wrong to this girl and she is SO snobby to me! Her attitude stinks, she is friendly with everyone else in the family but when her and I are around eachother she always gives me "back handed compliments." Meaning, she'll say something that starts out nice, but ends up mean. Like "Oh I LOVE you're shirt! Even if it made out of obviously cheap material." Yes, thats an ACTUAL quote. She went to HS with my husband and he told me that she was always very snobby there too. I just can't figure out why she hates me so much! Out of respect for my brother, I just roll with the punches. I wouldn't...
