At my workplace, I have a friend who is 6 years older than me. He's an English teacher like me. Our co-workers don't like him, because he's too 'fresh' or too 'confident' about himself. He garbs himself in weird patterned...

JeninND You can't avoid him completely at work, but you can decide not to answer your phone when he calls or texts, and you can be simply polite with him, not engaging in too much conversation. Eventually he will probably get the message. He is sticking to you because...

I am starting to hate my in laws!!! I have learned to accept who they are but recently, my MIL has gone overboard. She got upset at me because of invalid reason. I cannot stand her being so sensitive. Why can't she just shut up...

JeninND It's sad when mothers-in-law decide to be jealous of, and compete with, their daughters-in-law. Some MILs just can't let go. In her defense, she's his mama and as a mom of boys myself, it's heartbreaking when you've been #1 to your son for his entire life, he...

I've been wanting to stay home with my kids even before they were born. However, we've never been able for me to really do so. We could never afford it. When my daughter was born, my husband wasn't working. After my first son was...

JeninND I did quit my job so I could stay home with my kids, for 9 years! I loved it, they are only little once, and it was worth the many sacrifices we had to make: no satellite/cable TV, no cell phone (for me), no car (we sold one and shared a car), living in a tiny...

JeninND A girl who tries to date a guy who is married, engaged, or otherwise "taken" has no respect for herself. Girls deserve to have a guy who is totally devoted to them and not looking for anyone else. If a girl will date a guy with a girlfriend, she believes she...

JeninND If she's showing interest, then start looking for a teacher who will teach the very young. Not many of them will. My MIL has been teaching piano for almost 40 years, and she won't take anyone under 2nd grade. My best friend does group classes for kids starting...

Where do you shop for all of your healthy foods? Maybe it's an organic grocery store, whole foods, or maybe even just the regular ol grocery store. I'm curious because recently my husband and I move to a new state. In this...

JeninND Oh, that is too bad! My best advice is: shop around! You may find that the natural/organic section of a plain old grocery store has the best prices. I asked some like-minded acquaintances around town, "Where do you shop?" And they gave me so much...

JeninND Oh ditto on this. Don't gossip with anyone yet :) There is drama in every office.. it's my "policy" to stay out of it. Most of the time, you can't 100% stay out of it, but people will try to talk you into their side as soon as the first day. Yuck! A former...

JeninND Interesting - never thought of that! I wonder if somehow animals can tell the difference. It's true, I've never seen my cats chase bees. Their favorites are flies and miller moths. My 1-year-old girl kitty can (eventually) catch a fly she sees flying way up...

JeninND I doubt they know better :( But so far, I have always discovered the offending insect before they have, and have been able to shoo it out or give it the smackdown before the cats realize it's here. They don't come in the house very often, thankfully! A couple...

JeninND I don't do anything to bugs I find outdoors. In the fall, we spray Ortho around our home though, otherwise I'm finding 2-10 small black spiders in my house every day. If something makes its way into my home though, it's DEAD. Either my cats catch/kill/eat,...

JeninND It bothers me when people say "Oh, now she has the perfect family, one of each/two of each!" As though people without one of each gender, or without kids altogether, are not a "perfect family". I have three boys, and while a 4th kid would be fun, I don't...

JeninND (Haven't read the rest of the responses yet, will do that after I post this) I don't think people can really change that quickly. He wants you back because he knows you're with someone. Men get jealous pretty easily, and that's what happened. If you're...
