bbjwlsn Hello TnWoman, you are a kind person for taking the boys to school. I would have done the same. But, I would also have stressed that they couldn't make a habit of missing the bus and expecting you to take them to school. With kids, you never know what might...

A thought have passed through my mind, that of reporting my friend for child neglect. I recently learned that my friend has left her 8 year old son with 103C fever and his three year old child at home all alone unsupervised. It...

bbjwlsn Hi ronaldinu. First, may I point out that a fever of 103C would equal 217.4F; I think you probably meant 103F. Anyway, even if the 8 yr. old had a temperature of 98.6F (which is "normal"), he should NEVER, EVER, be left alone at home, much less to babysit a 3...

bbjwlsn Hi eabaterina, how are you doing? Thinking back in history, the government tried to prohibit alcohol back in the days of Prohibition, but, look, we still have alcohol today. They couldn't stop people from drinking alcohol, and they would not be able to stop...

bbjwlsn Hi xcammie, how are you? The reason we wanted a healthy, white infant is because this was in the 1980s, and I felt that people were not as tolerant of mixed-race families as they may be today. I could love a child, no matter what their heritage, but I also can...

bbjwlsn Hi seeths, how are you doing? Yes, my husband and I did consider adoption several times. After being married for two years (and living together for two years before marriage), we really wanted a child. We went to an information meeting at our local Department...

My husband and I are staying up late, watching a CNN special on Sarah Palin, followed by one on Joe Biden, in our continuing effort to learn more about the candidates. They mentioned that Sarah and Todd unexpectedly eloped on...

bbjwlsn Hi spalladino, how are you doing? Of course it's not mudslinging or nitpicking. You are merely stating facts, but it seems that some of our republican friends don't like what you have to say. I could really care less whether she was pregnant or not, and,...

bbjwlsn Oh, yeah, and you aren't doing anything wrong. Now is the time to stop and think about it, BEFORE you do something you might regret.

bbjwlsn Hi Taura, how are you? I am 59 years old, and have been married to my second husband for 28 years now. Number one, there are no guarantees in love or marriage. I would be completely heartbroken and devastated if my husband told me that he wanted a divorce, but...

I consider myself a very good speller, better than average, in fact, so I wonder why it is that there is this one word that plagues me because I can never get it right. I always hate it when I need to use the word(like in a...

bbjwlsn Hi Kat, It is correctly spelled vacuum. Sorry. I do wish I had some magic way to tell people to remember how to spell words. I have always been lucky in that I am an excellent speller. That being said, there are one or two words that I still have trouble...

I painted his bedroom wall the other day and was very proud. He got me the paint and knew I was going to do it. When he came home he inspected it and was unhappy with the job I had done. He said there was a line and he could not...

bbjwlsn I agree 100% with you, medney. Of course, only hearing about one incident out of the relationship, it's really hard to say that he is being emotionally abusive. Although, she does mention, I believe, that he is only a perfectionist with her and not others....
