pmcepe Did you approve of your sister's family moving in with you? If it was your decision to let them stay with you it might be good to lay down house rules: What she can and can not, like desciplining your child. On the other hand maybe she had good intention on...

pmcepe Is this the one featured during the turn-of-the-century show (among others)? I really liked it, like water dancing with the music. I was thinking where it was, and now I know! Thanks for the info and other tips.

pmcepe Why is she taking all the burden of supporting her sister and nieces? I could understand her supporting her mother if she is a widow or separated, but it is not her primary duty to feed the nieces. Is your friend prayerful? Tell her to pray harder, but not...

pmcepe I will definitely tell my friend it is wrong to take advantage of another's misery. I'll try to convice her/him to stay within legal rates or else I will report her/him to the authorities, no kidding.

secret

pmcepe I would definitely tell her about it. And if she really feels he means the world to her then it's her call. At least she is going into it with eyes wide open. But I'd be careful to know the truth first: is the affair over already? ongoing? It would be...

pmcepe What we call band aid solutions can't cure a hemmorhage.A spiritual adviser (a priest/pastor/elder in a community) could help a lot. Help her trace the source or root of her problems and direct her into a workable solution. Is the husband out of work? Who in...

bath singing

1 response

pmcepe Yes!! Lalalala is really a rich vocabulary, (did you know you could even pray just by saying those syllables? It's praying in tongues!). I do think also that johns have great acoustics, don't you think so? Or why would bathers sing and believe that their...

pmcepe Children have enormous capacity to learn. Talking to/teaching them in another language is okay. They will learn the common (native)language instinctively. I'd be using our national language when talking to my soon-to-be-born grandchild because she will be...

pmcepe Perhaps because she thinks that another woman in her son's life is a competition? It would really be about perception. I have 2 daughters-in-law and I know for sure I love them both dearly already even if they are still new in the family (17 months and 9...
