A few years ago... I was told that I had an older sibling... but my sibling was "aborted" before birth. However... I have reason to believe that this is not true. I believe that my sibling is alive and was adopted. However... I...

alnoodle Well I have talked to my grandmother... but she said she didn't know anything about a pregnancy before me. She seemed a little uncomfortable with the conversation and then suggested it was none of my business. I no longer speak to my biological mother... and...

So, a few years ago, I was told that my mom was pregnant 2-3 years before she had me. She claims she had an abortion, but when I confronted her about people mistaking me constantly for someone else... I asked again. She still...

So here is the situation. My husband worked with a guy who needed a place to stay, and we needed some extra money, so we told him he could stay in a bedroom in our basement that has it's own bathroom and door for $200 a month. He...

alnoodle Thank you. Yes we have no formal agreement or anything. My husband doesn't seem to think he will willingly leave either. I told my husband to tell him he needs to find a new place to live... but my husband wants to wait for the rest of the money he owes us for...

alnoodle We are trying to find a preferrably quicker way to get him out. We have kids and considering everything are a little concerned about the wellbeing of our kids. He keeps telling us he is leaving... but never seems to go. I agree, he's definantly not a good...

So my best friend is also my cousin. The whole family situation is stupid. Although at one time our family was close as a family... over the years things have changed. However... we've beenr eally close since we were little. It...

alnoodle Everything with my great grandma...which is her grandma is drama. She is always sticking her nose where it doesn't belong and making stuff up. As much as she'd like to blame me... it didn't come from me. I did write her an email trying to explain... but like i...

alnoodle Ugh. She won't believe anyone because she thinks her grandma wouldn't come up with it on her own. But since everyone assumed she'd be pregnant too... I'm sure the theory got around... or maybe she just picked up on it on her own. I'm sure she's not as dumb as...

alnoodle Unfortunately, I have confronted her more than once... and she not only makes it clear she does not want to talk about it... she denies it and says she had an abortion. The year would have been 1982 or 1983 I believe... so she would have been out of that 60's...

alnoodle My mom's family is full of secrets. None of them talk... and half of them wouldn't have even been in the same state when all this would have happened. There is no way that even if they did know... that they would tell me. And my mom has no friends from over...

I could kick myself for not teaching my son baby signs before now. He cannot talk or make much noise due to his tracheostomy, and had I started when he was a few months old, maybe he would be communicating with me now. Anyway, I...

alnoodle The German Shepherd is 2 or 3 and is almost broke of chewing. The other is 1 year old. And they could care less what I think... they only care what my husband thinks. Well.. the younger one will pout if she gets in trouble... but the dogs have made it clear...

alnoodle She can talk... she just won't say potty. She knows what it means... and if you ask her... she'll tell u if she has to go or not. She's just stubborn and doesn't like to say certain words because we want her to. If she is interested, I want to encourage it. We...

alnoodle These are great ideas, except we have a 1 year old daughter and I run a small daycare... so there is ALWAYS going to be toys within reach... it's unavoidable.
