My step-son (almost 19), who lives with his mother, in a different town, wants to come and see his girlfriend. That is fine with me, and him staying the night is fine as well. Here is the real problem. Step-son works full time...

meholl We have the money in the bank. But that money has to last us until next pay day. Hubby works out of town, hence extra expenses. Next week, will there still be enough money in the bank, I don't know.

meholl This is at least once, or twice a month. He knows we have to support an entire household. But he thinks that our money comes from the crab apple money tree in the back yard.

meholl His mom can't afford to help him, or so she says. I just don't get how you can have a full time job and an $85 insurance bill as your only bill, and be broke less than a week after payday. Or is he just asking for money because he knows his dad will say...

I love to eat but I don't know how to cook! I was planning to learn cooking last December. I decided to buy a cooking book as my guide. Until now, I wasn't able to buy a cooking book. Maybe I lost my interest or I am just lazy....

meholl One doesn't need a cooking class to cook. And recipes are not just for making some new menu. A cook book can be an inspiration to try something new, to get different flavor ideas for things you already like. A lot of cook books now days actually give you a...

are also ADHD? Or are they just picking up on behaviors that my boys display? I know younger children learn from example, so it is possible that they are reacting to the enviroment. But how do you tell if that is the case? I...

meholl I would like to hear more, especially about the "found out there is no such thing." As well as what your research has turned up for recommendations. My son has been diagnosed as a very extreme case of ADHD, considered unmanagable without medication.

meholl So if you visit my profile, you will see the recipe for Big Soft Pretzels that doesn't have to be boiled. And they are worth the effort.

About 2 weeks ago he came up to me and told me that I was buying him a new coat for winter. I said, no, I am not. And he had the nerve to tell me I was rude. I turned around and told him that if I buy anyone anything, it is...

meholl Well after 20 years, I should hope he calls you dad. And since he does call you dad, you must have done something right. I think it is in the job description of step-child to give parents hell. Even I did that to my own step-mother for the first year or 2,...

meholl Thank you for your words of encouragement. My step-son has lived with us before, but he is older now so things will be different. I am so glad that my husband backs me up. He works a lot of hours, and works out of town, so for 2 weeks I am just like a single...
