Winter08 It sounds as though you have raised you kids to be self-thinkers as well as caring people who are, unfortunately, vulnerable to guilt-tripping from their father (who, it sounds like, is egged on the his current wife). Have you and your sons done some "what...

I mean, really, seriously, let's get real here! Not only that, but someone who didn't know what city he was in! That's right, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the man who is leading most polls is so dense he thinks...

sandyrusty The best thing about American politics being such an international news item is that we around the world get daily chuckles at the American politicians expense. LOL

Hello All, Can you imagine the New York Times ever refusing an editorial (opinion piece) from Sen. Obama??? Well, maybe when ice cubes flow in Hades. Yet, the NYT has seen fit to reject a well-penned Op-Ed piece from...

soooobored I think that it is totally fair for a newspaper to decide whether or not to run a piece. Especially since the piece in question does not stand alone as an article, it exists only as a critique of Obama's piece. Had McCain reworked the piece to simply state...

TessWhite I would probably be honest with my kids and tell them Dad has married a nutcase, but it was his choice to do so, so we will try to support him best we can. But I would also tell the kids that they can choose when and how they want to spend time around the ex's...

mynameismine I've said the same thing to my kids, or I will when that day comes. Mine are 16, 15, 10 and 2. I swear I really hope they listen. It sounds like your kids are going to get front row seats on what happens if they don't.

Winter08 In a way it's understandable that a 25 year old young woman would be enthralled with new born babies. But from my observations of my various nephews when they were in their mid teens, 16 year old boys have zero interest in babies, especially new borns. And...

newtondak It sounds like your children are old enough to decide for themselves what they wish to do in regards to going to the hospital. As their mother, I would support whatever decision they choose to make.

RhythmWalker1 Lloyd, I agree with you. Someone needs to take him to a doctor. He doesn't think with a rational mind and hasn't a clue as to all the problems that his blunders have really led to. When I see him on TV, my mind says "duh". I think his says that all the...

lloydanthony111 This just shows you how out of touch President Bush is. He doesn't even try to fake it and act like he feels the pain the American people are experiencing. In my opinion, he just doesn't care about "everyday Americans". He caters only to the wealthy. That...

Heather Echola Side note, you will not regret the hysterectomy, that is what friends told me and I found it to be true. I felt great afterwards. You can pm me if you like. Do take a big pillow to hug after the surgery when you cough or laugh, cause that hurts, at first, but...

thebeaddoodler I have to say that I feel for you. You're really in a tough spot. But it sounds like your kids are old enough to make their own decisions and that's the key here. You can't blame them for loving their Dad and it doesn't sound like you want to. You have to be...

Heather Echola I think only the birth of the children will reveal about the developmental health of the baby/fetus. It is more important how your ex feels about the situation. Your kids, and you do not say how old they are, have every right to distance themselves from their...

mynameismine (If they were my kids) I would just tell dad and step mom 'no'. If you kids do not want to be there it is their right and their choice. Esp., if one of the babies is very ill and might not live or live very long (with those type of complications). No one...
