My mom has been lying to me! I work with my mother for over 2 years now, but I don't get paid. She says that because I live free under her room and eat for free she doesn't have to pay me. I have a son who lives with me, and I...

callahanb78 I think its kinda a touchy topic. Some moms would agree with your mom and some would agree with you. Yes she did give birth to you and you do live free or have lived free but in my opinion thats what motherhood is, no one pays you to keep your children when...

wahmivy I think she should pay you, and then you should give some back to her as your contribution. It should be an amount that would cover rent, utilities, food, etc. The thing is, you're an adult and while it's expected of your mother to help you out when you hit a...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Reading through what others have written and your responses (and having checked that you live in the US), it seems to me that you are well within your rights to demand payment for your work - at least the minimum wage, which I believe varies from state to...

It was our first experience to observe Earth Hour last March 28. We switched off all our lights and electric fans and went to our front yard. I was disappointed that my neighbors seemed unaware or unwilling to make the 1 hour...

coldmoon I agree with the idea of Earth Hour, but I disagree with the way they carry out it. They burned candles to create light. I think candle is also, even more harmful to the environment. But I still took part in this event, I just didn't touch a candle. Many...

trickiwoo I purposefully did not participate in Earth Hour this year. Instead, I decided I was going to limit my electricity use every single day. I am getting in the habit of turning off lights when I'm not using them, not leaving chargers plugged into the walls when...

aisaellis22 Hello pmcepe! I guess it that videoke should be petitioned. In our province, the videoke owner have curfews. At 10 oclock, there shouldn't be videoke anymore. I don't know if it applies in your place too but I guess the regulation is the same.

blungel0830 In our subdivision, I don't know if there is a standing regulation to lower the volume of not just videoke machines but sound systems in general from 10pm onwards. Even if there is not such ordinance in our place yet, we can always ask our village guards to...
