angel575 I agree with what you are saying but the reason why they have it like this is because the mom is very immature and decided she was better off staying in a shelter rather than live with her parents until she got on her feet. He also told me that he had almost...

angel575 Se the problem with that was that she was receiving food stamps and WIC but it is not enough room in the fridge at the shelter for her to store the food and he has told me that she used to sell the foodstamps for money. I tried to give him my two cents on this...

angel575 I think the reason why they switched was because she was not picking him up or arriving late and making up excuses. My friend drives the bus and he hworked on the weekends and she almost made him lose his job with the stunts she pulled to leave him with no one...

I hate it when I give my friend valuable advise and she doesn't take it and ends up suffering the consequences. Just over a week ago she told me that her DR diagnosed her with H-pylori and I told her that she would have to stop...

angel575 See...she ignored that too. The reason why I warned her is because my mother and I had this same problem, so I do know that there is an adjustment you have to make in order fo it not to get worse. that is what really bothered me. I guess I am just too nice!

angel575 You are right about that but in her case she is truely stressed out to and I try to be there for her as much as I can by giving her advise when she asks but my motherly instincts kick in and I get kinda overprotective of her because she allows her mother to...

I think my friend is mad at me because I kinda lectured her about taking him into the emergency room when she got sick. I can see if you are by yourself and there is no one else available to take care of him, but she had his...

angel575 I wasn't really fussing at her, I was just really telling her that she shuldn't have allowed him to stay and the godmother was there to take care of him. I always speak to her in a way that she would listen to me and not just ignore me.

angel575 Yep I still hope so too, I try not to get upset but it is just my nature to be the type of person to look after a person in that way. I am in no way doing this for self gratification, I just can't help it. If my friends don't take my advise I just shake my...

angel575 Trust me I have already talked to her about that but the problem with that is that her mother threatens her by saying she would kick her and that baby out. They stay in a rural area and I would take her in but I have a one bedroom apt with my husband and my 2...

angel575 Not only it dries the scalp, it strips your hair of the natural oils. Did you notice that when you wash your hair sometimes it doesn't have that natural sheen to it? Thats why. I was like that at first but If I'm around smokers or was out in the heat (very...

angel575 I had to do the same thing with my daughter, now I buy the sippy cups you can either keep or toss. I love them because they don't leak and when she chew on the tops I just throw them away. They come in handy and are cheap I buy a 6 pk about every 2 months and...
