shikiraclare Hi there again, I've been reading all the posts for your discussion and even though ebay is great for brilliant cheap deals, I would never buy a car from there for two very good reasons: 1) Could be a stolen vehicle and if anything went wrong with it...

shikiraclare Surprisingly, not all children do turn out like their parents as they grow up but in this case, it seems likely that your nephew is reacting to the relationship issues between his parents and behaving the way he does as a cry for help? Extended families are...
