we've got two dogs who are fabulous with the monk. i wish he was as good with them as they are with him.

it is a screwed up situation. but i'll tell you what would be different if it was me in this situation: I'd live where my kid was. i'd move to be near my kid or fight like hell to get custody. if you asked me to choose between my DH (and he is D) and my child, there is no question who I'd...

I think what you are saying that your wife responds poorly to these boys because they are yellers, like she is and she perceives it as disrespectful. Is that correct. I'd send the pair of them to a child or family psychologist to work on better methods of discipline than yelling. I also...

sometimes when family sucks, and is unpleasable, the kids spend their whole lives trying to please the unpleasable family. This sounds like what your husband is doing. I think not going to their celebrations is fine - if your husband wants to go he's welcome. And I think not inviting them...

i personally can see much more evidence for a table, air, gravity and most other things than God. In my opinion the biggest evidence of God is the inability of science to be able to create life out of amino acids and proteins. But science is young and we have time.

I just read your original message about the inlaws. If your husband spoke to his mother and told her about his brother, then its also he that needs to stick up for you when the family comes down on you. I'm not in favor of wives making their husbands choose between their families and them...

I only wish mikes family wouldn't show up. Seriously. It is horrible that we have to marry our partners and their families. I think its perfectly ok for you to throw a party that is for your family to celebrate your childs birthday and to let your husband throw a party for his family to...

Monk is a fantastic pretender. His hand is a crab that crawls on me and tells me stories, he loves to act out his favorite book series (hairy maclary - he's usually hairy and I'm SCARFACE CLAW) and he loves pretending with "critters' - toy animals or characters. But the playdoh thing is the...

Jen, i'm now wondering what magic pill you wanted us to suggest since you seem completely not open to any suggestions. I'm not privy to information about your husbands custody agreement, but i do know that in this state if there is a shared custody agreement (which is the default unless there...

anyone consider melanye a troll besides me?

i haven't seen the research stated about brain damage, however, it stands to reason (well my reason anyway) that a child left to cio quickly learns that speaking up gets you nowhere. I would like to raisw an assertive child, so i don't use cio.

i just had to state for the record that the only jews who believe this "branch" is jewish, is them, because for the rest of us believe that when you accept jesus you cease to be a jew

i personally don't think there is a "right" way to spell names - just a common way. Perhaps because my names are so BORING.

My mom was very much before her time. She turns 70 next month. She did do the mom stuff but she taught us better. I remember I was at the kitchen table doing homework. My mother was washing dishes. She said "Beth, when you grow up and live with your boyfriend or get married you make sure...

if she wants to name her kid george and spell it fred, thats her prerogative.

all you can do is tell the child you love her and wish you could see her more often and do wonderful fun things with her when she visits, or move closer and get shared custody.

If what you are saying that to raise your kid to believe in god means they have to have faith, which means to believe without real evidence. But i know lots of good rational thinkers who do have faith. They just aren't thinking rationally about religion - they just believe.

Monk doesn't care for juice or soda - he prefers water. Thank GOODNESS
