To Marry Her Boyfriend??? Have an Abortion?? You found out that your daughter is 2 months pregnant. She's scared to tell you because she doesn't know what you will say and do..She's still a minor, so you have decisions to...

TechnoMom I certainly wouldn't pressure her to marry her boyfriend, because that would just compound the problems. If she's a minor, she's too young for marriage, too. If she's immature enough to get pregnant accidentally, she definitely isn't ready for marriage. I...

We have the nicest sweetest cat you've ever seen. Yesterday he came home limping so my wife stayed home to take him to the vet. Turns out someone had SHOT him... WTF? Who the hell shoots a sweet lovable cat? His shoulder is...

TechnoMom I do hope he recovers well. Do talk to your neighbors, to warn them to keep their pets inside. If someone confesses or seems particularly hostile, let the police know that, too. Good luck!

TechnoMom You definitely need to file a police report. Animal cruelty is prosecuted more avidly than child abuse in some places. This kind of thing is one of many reasons we only have indoor pets. My daughter and I are allergic, too, but we've found that bathing the...

Hi, first I would introduce myself, I am soft spoken, sensitive, shy and a possessive kind of boy. I came across a girl Maya whom I thought can be my life partner. We both live in different cities. For two months everything was...

TechnoMom (I don't know why this is coming up under my own first comment, but I'm replying to you. Sorry!) I'm glad to know that you're so careful. Whether she's frustrated or not is no excuse for dishonesty. If she wanted a change in your relationship, she should...

TechnoMom You "allowed" her to meet boys? What are you, her owner? Seriously--get a grip. And why did you have her password? What business do you have spying on anyone? She has lied to you, and in your shoes I'd break it off--but I seriously think you need to work...

TechnoMom I have a feeling that responses are going to be split strongly by cultural lines. It is my understanding that arranged marriages are still fairly common in India, but in the U.S., they seldom occur. American culture doesn't put any emphasis on obeying one's...

Monday my husband went to work a 6 am. and as soon as they walked through the door, they were doing random drug tests. Apparently, over the weekend, there was a big party, that alot of them went to. As soon as they got to work all...

TechnoMom It isn't a "set up" or entrapment (as someone else called it) unless the company provided the illegal drugs. It's far more likely that someone else who was at the party mentioned something that alerted management, who ordered the tests. It's beyond belief...

TechnoMom It's not only legal, it's a well-established practice. People have been fired for being queer, involved in BDSM or swinging, being polyamorous, having a "different" religion, dating someone of another race--all things that couldn't possibly affect their work...

Can anyone tell me what it is like to live in Atlanta Georgia? My sister is planning to move with her family to Atlanta at the end of February. There are a million and one reasons why I do not want her to go. But it is something,...

TechnoMom I've lived in Georgia all of my adult life, and most of that has been in the Atlanta area, so I don't have a lot of experience to speak from. I can tell you, though, that Atlanta has a very healthy economy, and it's the most culturally diverse place in the...

For all you people either currently attending college or have been in college, this question is for you. When registering for classes, when would you try to take your classes? Did you prefer classes early in the morning, late at...

TechnoMom I take mine online, because that's the only way I can actually get to them! Now that I've gotten used to it, I just can't see going back to face-to-face classes. As long as I log in and participate on at least 3 different days each week, no matter what time of...

still read it as your main Bible or do you buy a different translation? I was raised on the KJV and I have gotten the RSV as a gift, plus I bought the Message and the New King James Version, and the NIV, although I did get a...

TechnoMom The NIV is generally regarded as a much better translation than the KJV. The production of the KJV was very politically influenced, because the translators knew that they'd be in a lot of trouble (and maybe dead) if the king and his court weren't happy with...

Takes things away from you. My husband owns EVERYTHING, except for the things that I brought with me. That happens to be next to nothing, really. Now, because he owns these things, that gives him the right to take them away...

TechnoMom You should be respectful? I don't think this man knows what respect means! The age difference is absolutely NO excuse. He married you - he didn't take you to raise. You've got one father and you don't need another. This is a textbook example of abusive...

TechnoMom When I was younger, I refused to have any disagreement in front of ANYONE. Over time, I realized that if our kids didn't see me and my partner working out differences in a healthy way, they wouldn't have any idea how to do that. So depending on the topic, I...
