dreamy1 Yous SIL needs to stand up to her mother and tell her once and for all. "Mom I love you and I know you just want the best for me and want me to be happy, but I am an adult and I have to live my life the way I want to." "I would never tell you how to live your...

RobinJ so this is not about the man or his having 2 jobs or drinking on his days off, but about a mother who wants to rule her daughters lives, I believe the sister in law should do what is going to make her happy and the mother will just have to live with it, she...

amitksing This is a serious situation. I think it won't be overcomed without hurting one heart. If your sister in law goes according to her wish, her Mom gets hurt and vice versa. I think your sis in law should first make a cool and cosy atmosphere at home and then try...

ky1119 Sounds like my mom. I finally had to tell her to mind her own business. I know that sounds harsh, but if I didn't, she just wouldn't back off. It's enough to make one crazy, that's for sure.

I am taking a geology class and would like to ask a survey among mylot users, answer if you have time. . . If you were a geologist, would you prefer to study contact metamorphosis or regional metamorphosis to gain clues on what...

stvasile It depends on what scale you want to study the endogen processes. On a local scale, I would rather study contact metamorphosis, as it gives clues to the local magmatic intrusions found in the area. On a wider scale, the regional metamorphosis tells you of...

raising kids to live on welfare. I am not putting anyone down, but think about it. If a child sees their parent sitting around and not working, what kind of example are they setting for the child? It just seems parents that...

dip_cool well yes if the parent does nothing but sit around the house all day then they must be setting a bad example for their children.but even on welfare if the kids are brought up the right way,i mean if the parent makes the child aware of the needs of...

mwhisler84 My mother is on welfare (not by choice), and the thing it has taught me the most is that I will not rely on the government to feed or clothe me, they do not try to help people at all and I want the be the only person responsible to take care of myself.

34momma As a mother who use to collect welfare, i think there may be some truth to that but that doesn't apply to everyone. i personally did it because i was a young mother of two children on my own. I went back to school and got me a job. welfare helped me do that....

sweetdesign Good for both of you. I have only been on Food Stamps (and believe me it didn't begin to meet our food needs) and medical coverage for my daughter. But it was hard to get by with such a little amount of assistance. I worked and went to college (I went back to...

pumpkinjam I'm so glad to see this! I was also brought up on benefits and, although I was on benefits myself for a while, it's not something I would choose nor choose for my children. My 7 year old already has a few ideas about what he wants to do(which, if he doesn't...

pumpkinjam No, I don't think that. If you have children, assuming you are looking after them properly, you are not sitting around doing nothing all day, as is so often assumed. I know there are some people who bring their children up that way and their children follow...
