Not allowing your boyfriend to see his kid

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 29 Apr 13

This girl I went to school with who back then we were close friends. She has changed a lot to an immature drama queen. I think to myself how were we ever friends, she is so immature, lives with her parents, doesn't pay a cent and...

rocketking If she went to court for maintenance fees, can't he use the same proceedings to request for access to the child as well? I am not sure he himself is keen to spend time with the child otherwise legally she would be forced to give him access especially since she...

rocketking Yes my prayers for him and his family. I feel really sorry for him, he must be killing himself for not taking that phone call. Of course it was not his fault but I can understand that he is blaming himself. Hope he gets over it, no one could have known.

andrewbarclave @andrewbarclave (485) • Ireland 29 Apr 13

I recently am having trouble with my net connection. I first thought it was my laptop and did all the usual things to try make it run faster, turns out it's just that work is being done locally and the connection keeps getting...

Do you celebrate your monthly anniversary? How?

secretbear @secretbear (19448) • Philippines 29 Apr 13

Today is mine and my boyfriend's 3rd month of being in a relationship. We're in a long distance relationship and it's kind of hard to celebrate with us not being together. It's sad but I'm still happy that we've reached this far...

rocketking I guess this is the first relationship for both of you. When you are young and in your first relationship you will tend to celebrate monthly, as the relationship matures you will soon be celebrating yearly instead which is not a bad thing, it does not show...

my father used to work abroad and when he finished his contract there, he found it hard to find a job here maybe because of his age. he stayed home for some time and took care of em since i'm the youngest. he would cook for me (he...

rocketking Yes it is a reversal of traditional roles but in this age where women are increasingly accomplished in the workplace I think it is acceptable. If one spouse needs to stay home to look after the family, it makes sense to have the lower-earning spouse stay home...

rocketking Is it possible that she herself does not mind? Sounds extreme but some people may like to be "controlled", they feel there is someone loving and taking care of them. If your friend didn't even see it, it sounds like the situation may not be making her...

People who are rude to you and say positive things about you to other people

Porcospino @Porcospino (31365) • Denmark 29 Apr 13

rocketking I find it ok if there aren't a lot and not very oily too. It is much better than ironing the clothes, that is the one which is bad for me since I find it hard to iron well, some parts always still end up wrinkled.

rocketking Just go for it! Even if you are not selected, it is ok just to know what it is like. And you will be surprised, it is not only those who can sing well who participate, there are those who sing very badly and do not even realise it, so don't worry.

rocketking The washing machine uses a lot of water so we hand-wash as much as possible, and use washing machine only for blankets. Of course that is more tiring for my mother. We also use laundry water for washing the toilet too.
