I read some text messages between my son and my ex. My ex is trying to convince my son to move out of the house in April. My son kept telling him that he wants to move out after he graduates in June. I realize that my son will be...

nmariean I understand your points. Unfortunately you are right he will be an adult and you can't hold him forever. I have a daughter who will be moving to college next September. We would love for her to stay but ultimately it is her decision and I can't stop her, so I...

nmariean I don't think not getting him the things he needs is a bad idea. It doesn't matter when he will move out. I would think about it this way: if he had been living with his father sick young age, would you have stopped buying or contributing to the things he...

It is a question I have been asking myself more and more lately. I have been a teacher for 13 years and although things do come and go, I am finding that recently, things have gone downhill. There is more pressure on teachers to...

nmariean Yes, I am dealing with similar issues. Here in the US, in my state, We are teaching constantly. I suppose that is the purpose of education. But it is really sad when I am so busy teaching that I hardly get to know my students, about themselves, their home...

I have seen pictures on the internet. Many people love them and they give you a real view of what the baby will look like. On the other hand, I have seen some pictures where the baby in the photos looks weird and creepy. I am...

nmariean That is what I'm debating. It is a 20-30 minute session and cost varies. In my immediate vicinity and surrounding areas (15 mile radius) costs vary from $100-150.

nmariean Well, that is the problem. They are elective sonograms, usually done by an ultrasound technician, not by a doctor. And they are usually done after the regular 20 week anatomy scan, which does scan for abnormalities in the baby's organs, etc. 3D/4D sonograms...

There has been talk of possibly having next year's (2014) Superbowl on a Saturday. It will be played in Met Life stadium in New Jersey. It is very rare to play a Superbowl in a cold weather stadium that is not domed. Because of...

nmariean I would prefer it to be on a Saturday. I like to have people over to watch the game. Everyone always leaves early because they have to go to school or work the next day. It would be nice to have social time with friends without having to worry about have to...

I teach 8-9 year olds from low income/ low socioeconomic areas. Recently I have run into problems with students bullying and picking on each other. In a class of 24 students I have about 5 students who are constantly picking on...

nmariean Unfortunately, I work in an area where we have very little parental involvement. Parents are also rarely invited to volunteer and participate in the classroom. When we have activities at night, we have to lure them in with incentives and food! Many of the...

nmariean I saw the pictures recently. I thought they were kind of silly. The boy looks awkward laying there in a blankie. I totally get the point, but perhaps a nice family photo saying " welcome to out family" or something like that would have been more appropriate.

Right (2-12-13) now Mr Obama is stating the federal minimum wage should be $9/hr. That the current minimum wage at full time only earns $14,000 a year and that's unacceptable! Well I say DUH! Where have you been?!?!? Even if one...

nmariean Raising the minimum wage will not make a difference in anything. Whoever makes minimum wage will still be making a poverty line salary. Even with two people working in the household, they will not make enough to survive unless they live in a very low cost of...

nmariean I did that once. Another driver came up the same lane and yelled at me to tell menu was parking " backwards". He was very upset, but I guess I was wrong.

nmariean That's interesting. I am also a teacher and talking about a principal. You must work at a private or non union school or district. it is sad that he was able to fire so many people without anyone questioning his actions. I'm my case, it took almost a year for...

Today was the 100th day of this school year. The elementary school kids tend to celebrate this by bringing in 100 of something. Last year my son brought 100 pennies. This year I went out and bought a bag of individually wrapped...

nmariean Last year my daughter's class had to make a project using 100 items. We used 100 Cheerios to make a poster of a caterpillar. Each body part was 10 Cheerios, each antennae was 5 Cheerios and each leg was also 5.
