I've been married for 8 years to a guy who's family never warmed up to me. I did everything to win them over. God knows I've always tried to reach them but they used to ignore me. But then they even treat my kids badly and it...

stephwrites From reading all the posts here, I would have to agree with everyone and put both your feet down. That means give them a choice, they change their attitudes and disrespect or they have no relationship with any of you. But that also means your husband will not...

stephwrites I agree with you on this one Lash, shocking, isn't it? grin. If this person were not a priest, he would be required by law to report any confession to the police and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But unfortunately, a priest has been give special...

stephwrites Life is a period of time. And doing things you don't like or having things you don't want is a waste of time. That is my philosophy. But it's also about having a clean conscience. So the best way to enjoy life is make it about things and people you like and do...

Can true love stay forever?

sarahlqf @sarahlqf (11) • China 25 Oct 09

Nowadays, more and more couples divorce. The reasons are common: the husband has another woman outside, or the wife has another man. They don't really hate each other. they just happen to meet another person they feel in love....

stephwrites We don't 'celebrate' Halloween really. We just let the kids go out and have some fun. I don't let them wear anything 'scary' or witchy or bloody. They have to find something pretty fun and neutral. And now that they are older, the 19, 16 and 13 year old don't...

stephwrites I too have had this problem. They start to take you for granted after awhile and it sucks! But as Dr Phil says, 'you teach people how to treat you.' First analyze. Do you tell them thank you when they do something or give you something? You have to set the...

Do you make your kids help clean up their mess?

CRIVAS @CRIVAS (1815) • Canada 22 Oct 09

Or do you find that you have an easier time, if you just clean it up yourself? Do you think that it is important to teach your children to clean up after themselves? Why or why not?

stephwrites yes, definitely make them clean it up. if you don't they will expect you to do it and not do any chores or cleaning for the rest of their lives. and you are not going to be there to clean up after them when they leave home. their coworkers, roommates, bosses...
