Resolved Question: Babysitting, what rate per hour sounds right to you?

I am babysitting for my aunt while she is going back to school. She has a grant that covers childcare, so I am being paid through social services. She has 3 girls, an 8 year old, a 5 year old, and a 4 year old. I work mondays through thursdays every week. My job includes bathing the two younger girls, getting them dressed, making breakfast and lunch, and getting the 5 year old on the p.m. kindergarten bus. I stay at the house with the 4 year old and then get the 5 and 8 year olds off the bus, make them food, and help with homework. On tuesdays, I put them to bed and stay there until their mom gets home. During this whole day, I do art projects with them (I am an art student). We do scrapbooking, all kinds of painting techniques, mixed-media and creative projects, and more. I'd say we do at least one or two projects a day. Basically they are never bored. Social Services pays me 3.75 an hour per child, so the most I can really make at a time is 11.25 per hour. However there is a lot of coming and going on and off to school so I'm only with all three girls at once for a few hours a day. I kind of think that I should be making minimum wage at least, even if I only have one girl with me, especially because the girls are learning a lot while they are with me and there is not much lounging around going on. Also I come in to watch the kids a lot on very late notice, and end up staying later than planned a good amount of the time. What do you think about this? Is social services being fair? I have car and cell phone payments I need to make, and I didn't even mention the fact that I get my checks from them at least 2 months late every time. What would you charge if you were doing this amount of work? I do not want to make it sound like I am complaining because I am very grateful to have a job but I am just curious as to what others would charge. Also, is there anything I can do to get social services to throw a little bit more in there? more

Resolved Question: WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?

I don't understand. Of course you want something. In the middle of the summer you get pissed off because your parents refuse to buy something for you. Then ask for it for Christmas! Aye aye aye. And if you honestly don't want anything, go buy stuff for the homeless, or work in a soup kitchen, or go read/tutor poor kids or something like that. I've done those kind of things, and believe me, the feeling is better than any feeling you get when recieving a gift. Anddddd here are some ideas if you are stuck. Some of them are for girls because well, I am a girl. Oh well. Sucks for you. (if you are a boy, that is.) Onward! -ipod -itunes gift cards. you can never have enough music -books, bookstore giftcards. Books are good. read. -a ringlet curling iron or a straightener. different hairstyles are fun. -makeup -green day cd -puzzles. puzzles are good. -brain teaser puzzles book. when you bored, you should spend your boredom doing something productive. -nintendo dsi. that thing is uber fun. -a camera. cameras are good. -sims 2 double deluxe. best game ever. -calvin and hobbes comic books. best comic ever. -a zebra snuggie. YES. just plain awesome. -fuzzy socks. -converse. i love converse. -an ihome -target giftcards. i love target. -victorias secret gift cards. underwear is good. but only good if you choose them. -glee first season dvd. one of the best shows ever. -a glitter embossing thing. THAT THING IS SUPER FUN. omg. -uggs. uggs are soft goodness. or you can go to target with your giftcard and get some good looking fuggs. they are just as good but the fur goes away after like the 2nd time you wear them. real uggs have softness FOREVER. this is a good thing. unless you live in arizona. -a puppy. puppies are goodness. -a mardi gras mask. why not? -abba greatest hits cd. -a purse and wallet to carry all of your giftcards. -puffs kleenex with vicks. heaven when you have a runny nose. -starbucks gift cards. because its too expensive to go out and buy with your own money. -footy pajamas. warm goodness. -laptop. coolness. -a car! yay! A nice little used one. or, if your parents are rich, an environment efficient hybrid. -donations to charities in your name. -a brand new super cool cell phone. (recycle your old one, but make sure to get your contacts first, haha) -a giant stuffed bear/tiger/duck/panda/cat/gopher/mickey mouse/dog/bunny. because you know you've always secretly wanted one. -mall giftcards. clothes are good. -scrapbooking kit. because scrapbooking is fun. admit it. -brand new school supplies. why do we have to only get them in the beginning of the school year? enjoy the newness of your school supplies. -temporary tattoos. because those are AWESOME. -hot wheels race track sets. the kind where the monster eats you in the middle. very definition of AWESOMENESS. idk what else. soooooooooooooooo. have fun. more

Resolved Question: Parents: Have you turned into the mamarazzi/daddyrazzi?

Do you find yourself following your kid around with a camera taking pictures all the time? I swore I wouldn't be that parent, my father is/was like that and it bugged my brother and I so much, LOL, but alas, resistance was futile. My question: where/how do you store all the pictures? I'm not into scrapbooking that much, I have a large album for every year, but I still have tons of prints/memory cards full of pictures and I have no idea what to do with them all.I keep some, really precious ones, on memory cards because I simply don't trust my computer not to crash on me and lose them, LOL. more

Voting Question: Why can't I make good choices in the rashness of the moment?

I feel as if everything I do not only in school but at home with my family is wrong. I'm constantly battling myself, my "friends", if any, and my parents and brother. Why is it that I feel like it's the Me vs. the World...Why can't I change. I need help, i realize that. I continue to trip up and make huge mistakes which are costing me my reputation, or whatever is left of it. I want friends. I want to be liked, and I want people to ask me what I think, or invite me places eagerly and willingly. I want a normal, happy, child life. I'm 14 and all these bad things happen to me, and I KNOW i bring them upon myself...How can I change this. How can I tell myself "No this is wrong" or "Yes, this is the smart thing to say/do/want." I need to know how to make decisions and how to come across as a friendly, loving person. To be honest, I like gardening. And scrapbooking, and I want to write a book on my life, but im 14, so who would buy it, let alone publish it? I am a good writer too. I've done some kick-face assignments for English and I'm great at it. I want to go for a run every morning at 5:00 before school. I want to go to an Italian culinary school. I want to do all these things, but for some reason I don't. I always care what others think, and I'm never myself and I just want to be me. I think the more I'm me, and the more I respect and like myself, the more others will too, so how do I make that first leap from the hated kid in school to that quiet sensitive kid who plays piano and cooks the best Rosemary-Oregano Chicken Picatta ever. So really this is all background information on how I'm doing, so here are my questions: 1--How can I make that first leap 2-- How can I just stop making wrong choices in the rashness of a "popularity" moment. Like...I need to have that 1 minute where I ask myself is this right or wrong...will this backfire on you, will this hurt or help you? Help me remind myself to make that 1 minute. 3-- Help me help myself be a nicer person who is tolerant of others. who doesn't judge or pick on or make harsh judgements before knowing the full story. There's one girl i know, she's new to my school, and EVERYONE loves her. she doesn't have one clique she hangs out with, she loves everyone and everyone loves her. It might be a little late for me to love everyone or them love me, but how can i start to be that all around friendly person? I'm really messed up...Everytime someone says so&so hates you, it used to come as a shock but now I just say "I know"...I shouldn't have to say this. it also kills my mom to see her kid is struggling so please help D: more

Resolved Question: Why do people use abbreviations?

I was reading some Yahoo! Answers and it is sad to say that I dont understand them!

And we wonder why our kids are failing English.... What happened to full sentences? more

Voting Question: Why do I feel like I can't get up, or feel heavy?

I have been having issues of feeling tired for quite some time now. I have been to the dr. I have had my thyroid checked only to be told it's totally normal, I had my iron levels checked to be told they are totally normal, I even had a complete blood test and a CBC doen for it to come back totally normal. I feel lazy but I am not mentally wanting to be this way, I want to be active like I was once I want to get up and do things but I just can't. Let me tell you how a bad day feels; I get up and it takes me awhile to actually wake up once moving around, I feel heavy and sleepy. I get my husband ready for work and get him out of the house (this is around 9am) and I have 4 kids 11, 7, 6, and 3 all homeschooled, I sit down while they eat breakfast and then feel so heavy I cannot get up, I will litterally sit here until I almost pee my pants because I cannot get my limbs to move to get me up, I am awake, I watch TV but cannot change the channel, it will take me all the energy I have to do it. I cannot get up to make lunch or clean or go outside even. I do have RLS symptoms but do not have insurance so my dr. prescribed me Klonopin but I have yet to try it because I know it will just make the tired not moving feeling worse. I did take Tramadol and it helped a lot for both the legs and the heavy feeling but when I run out and she won't give me more I felt like I was going to die everything hurt. I do not feel depressed I am happy about things, Iove crafting and scrapbooking, I am getting ready to start teaching this to people for the first time which is great I am so happy about that. I am just scared this will happen on a day I need to teach and I won't be able to get there. I have such a hard time even forcing myself to move. I was hoping someone here would have felt the same way and let me know what they did. My MIL said she feels sort of like this but she takes Adderall now for it and that helps but I am worried my dr. will say no to a stimulant, and what would the effects be of stopping that suddenly probably not good.add on: by heavy I do not mean weight, I do not feel overweight I feel like rocks or weights are tied to my body. more

Resolved Question: Would you kick your parents out of there room if you bought there house?

My husbands parents are almost 70 and my husbands dad got laid off work and he was like 2 years from retiring and they have this big nice house that they have lived in forever and my husband was raised in it and all the family gatherings are at this house. They have mentioned that the idea of one of there kids buying there house from underneath them and letting them keep there master bedroom and bath...There closet literally is one third of the bottom floor of this house. She had it built that way on purpose. If it were my house theres no way that closet would waste all that room. I would make the closest half the size and still have a good size room left over for scrapbooking or sewing or whatever. What do you think? I ask in this section to get real answers from decent people...his parents refinaced a while back so we would be paying on a full price house. My husband and I are actually in the process of putting our home up for sale.i wouldn't kick them out of home I'm saying they stay in the guest room with the attached bath and we take the mastermy husband and his dad are best friends.

Resolved Question: Parents, there's gotta be an easier way (photo album help)?

Resolved Question: okay how would you deal with this problem child?

alright i got a call to day telling me to appologise to my cousin. what for? sorry this is so long but i wanted to thoroughly explain. im 19 and im just fed up with her and her mom saying its always me! well LAST month my cousin had been telling everyone she wanted to scrapbook she is 11, so my mom arranged for her to scrapbooking with other kids her own age. she told her and her mom the time and they all agreed to it. somehow i got dragged into driving her i didnt mind. i drove over to her house to pick her up. they were still asleep at 1pm. so i had to sit outside for an hour while i waitied for them to pick up the phone. this event was paid for by my mom and her friend and my cousins stuff was already bought by my mom and said friend. well i finally get her out we drive over their and she announces "you are intruding on my time with my mom i dont know anything about this and i dont want to do it!" then points at me and calls me a liar. the friend of my mom is shocked all of my moms other friends and kids are shocked she completely snubbed the other kids. well she did the scrap page and we left. i told her "that was VERY rude and had your mom been their i think she might have popped you" well today she started bawling and saying "she threatened to slap me!!" omg i hate this child i told them straight up i wasnt going to apologize to a sniveling lying brat that manipulates people!" if i really had threatened to slap her she would have told them LAST MONTH. why cant they see this is yet another lie? i babysat her and it was the worst experience of my life i asked to have my tubes tied. she would make up all kinds of lies to get what she wanted and i was always left apologizing for something i didnt do and she was always wearing a smug smile. >< im tired of this. i dont even have to be in the same city for her to make something up about me!! im sick right now REALLY sick ive been rushed to the ER a couple times this month and somehow im still the bad guy when im not even there? what would you doi put my foot down after that last thing and told them i wouldnt drive her around or watch her ever again i had originally done all of this as a favor. i have told her mom and dad about all of this but somehow im still in the wrong? i had told them the day i brought her back to their house what she had done and what i said. they chose to believe the liar. more

Resolved Question: I need some creative ideas for christmas gifts?

I am not making any purchases for any gifts simply because i have absolutely no money. Zilch. So this year for Christmas, I want to make creative things for the people i am giving to. Any other time i have tried to make gifts they turned out cheesy and unappreciated. I want to make something special and not just a homemade card or something obviously last-minute. The people i am giving gifts to are: My mom, dad, my friend Jill, and my cousin Candice. [Short description of each person]: Mom: Loves cleaning, but doesnt like to admit it, and loves decorating. Dad: Sports FANATIC. Will pretty much watch anything sports-related. I was thinking football tickets till i discovered how much they cost. Jill: Art Genius. She can draw fantastically. She is the best artist i know, and is personally into anime and wolves. Candice: Loves shoes,kids, scrapbooking, picture-taking. (Remember guys, NO purchases. This is a top secret operation this year lol i dont want anyone to know that i am even getting them anything.) Also, I would like to add that I do have one gift done for my best friend Taylor. She lost her home to Katrina back in '05, and still has trouble calling it home over here. So I made her a DVD with a slideshow and a song playing in the background called "This Is Home" by Switchfoot. Do you think she would be offended - or do you think it will make her come to a realization? Thank you for any tips/advice/ or help! *P.S. I can sew small things such as pillows and blankets, but nothing else. more

Resolved Question: I have a business idea- asking here because it has to do with parents..?

Resolved Question: TEENS: Your kids or your future kids?

What sports/activities do you want your kids to be in when they are a child/preteen/teen? Boy & Girl. Mine would be: Boy: Tae Won Do Baseball Soccor Track Basketball Swimming (Def.) I really don't want him to be in a sport that deals with weight. Like wrestling & football. Boys at my school are always like oh well I gotta lose 10 lbs by the end of next week, etc. Of course when he gets older I would let him chose what he wanted to do. For my girl I want her to be artistic so: Tae Won Do Gymnastics Photography (start out young, get better when she gets older) Scrapbooking (about the age of 12) Pottery and/or Painting Soccor Swimming Softball Track And whatever else she would want to be. I'm not sure if I could have a cheerleader/football player as a kid, but I'm going to let them be what they want! Also, would you accept your kid if they were gay? I would. I mean its how they are. Let them be already. How many kids do you want? And in what order? I want 3 at least. A boy then about 3-6 years later a girl then 2 years later another girl. I also want to foster kids and/or adopt but wait til my kids get older (14 at least) and they are okay with it.Oh and I plan on living by the beach, so surfing for both. And, then I like to go to the mountains, so Snowboarding/skiing as well.How does it sound like I'm pregnant?Let me just say that I'm not forcing them into these sports. This is when they are like 5-9 and need direction in there life. more

I'll put their first name initails so you'll know what to call them(lol sorry) 1)Ok, my frist friend is "M.She likes horses, and things like scrapbooking/stamping, etc. SoI'm thinking of getting her something that has to do with horse stamps or something? Is this a good Idea? 2)Her first initail is "A" I have known her for sometime now. Maybe a year? So not that much. We are practicallysisters, but don't have that much in common. She is completley a girly-girl/tomboy. I am in the middle but she plays both roles very well. She wears High heels alot, but sneakers are fine too. She's not snobby or anything. I am thinking of getting her a heart necklace. I don't want something that looks cheap, but isnt like over $10(I am buying these gifts with my own money, and I don't have a lot-I'm not selfish or cheap either) 3) "E" I have known her since the beginning of this school year. She calls this other girl her 'bestfriend' even though, when nobody else wanted to hang out with her cause she was the 'wierd new kid' I did. But still, I'm not her bestfriend. Even though she prolly is mine? No, it doesn;t make sense to me either. Her sister is in college, her mom is always traveling, and her dad is working alot but still they spend time together as a family. She gets whatever she wants-most of the time- So I'm not sure what to get her. Any simple ideas? Thanks!! 10 points for best answer!!(: more

Resolved Question: Does your MIL do this to you? I'm so sick of it. Now she's making me second guess myself.?

I finished Christmas shopping today for my kids and thought I did pretty good. Since they love hunting around the house looking for their gifts, my mother-in-law keeps them at her house. I just brought the things I bought this morning over, and she told me "Wow, this is all you're getting them? Why did you take-in the extra 3 kids if you would have to sacrifice things for your real children?" I thought I did good considering we have 8 children this year instead of 5. So the question: Is she right? Or is she just trying to make me feel bad? 13 year old: silver Tiffany bracelet black Uggs Coach purse Wii Fit picture frames for room 10 year old: digital camera brown Uggs new bike DDR Hottest Party 2 (for Wii) scrapbooking kit 7 yscrap-booking for room (the only reason she's getting it is because my husband has a bunch of points from work and used it to get a new tv FREE) Disney's Hannah Montana DVD Game Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House Hannah Montana Wii Game Wild Planet Hyper Dash Game 6 year old: American Girl Doll karoke machine Wild Plkaraokeyper Jump Game Apples to Apples Kids Learning Journey Desktop PC 5 year old: Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep LeapFrog Leapster Learning System LeapFrog Leapster Game: Dora the Explorer -Wildlife Rescue Moon Sand Treasure Kingdom Totally Me!

Each child on average gets about $400 worth of toys. Yes, it would have been more if we didn't take 3 extra children in, but should how much we get on Christmas make a difference bettween leaving them in foster homes or letting them live with us?Oh and another one was that she is only buying for her "real" grandchildren, meaning she's not getting gifts for the 3 childre I recently adopted. So now I'm going to have to buy them something and bring it over there to pretend it's from her.Yes, we have to keep everything fair. I tried to sick to 5 items that totaled up to about $400.We actually adopted them when their mother (my friend) passed away from cancer. more

Resolved Question: Any ideas for a craft/class room?

I have 3 children (ages 3-6). I am finishing a room in the basement for our craft room / class room. The room is 12'x24'. Due to the floor being VERY unlevel and wanting to create division (between the "kids side" and "my side"), we have build a step up platform that we are going to install hardwood - it's the back 11 feet of the room. On the kids side, I'm thinking about leaving concrete and using rugs?? I plan on building a 4' half wall with a 32" walk-thru opening to enter "my side". I want the "wall" to actually be used as storage. It would be a 4' section on the left, and a 5' section on the right, being approx 28" deep to serve as cubbies on both sides of the wall. And a sold "counter top" to serve as additional work/play space. I also want to include a magnet/chalkboard painted one section of the "kids side" wall. I thought about framing a peg board also but not sure if I want to display my supplies. I possibly, eventually want to homeschool so I'm trying to plan ahead. Do you have any ideas for the layout/design for a craft room. My side will contain: sewing machine, fabric, scrapbooking items, etc. Kid side will contain; books, puzzles, paint, crayons, paper, etc, 3 desk or 1 kid size table, possible tv. I don't really want a "play room" but a learning room. Thanx more

Resolved Question: What is the best photo editing/scrapbooking/photo enhancing software program?

I am trying to find the "perfect" software for our families needs.

Resolved Question: Baby Shower question.....?

I am having two baby showers. My mom, sister and MIL are planning one for family and a few friends, and a co-worker and a friend are planning another one for people I work with and a few other friends. I would really like to get my co-worker and friend something as gratitude for throwing me the shower. I am not really close to either one, however, we get together on occasion to do scrapbooking projects and such together. I know they are putting a lot of effort into this shower, and would like to get them something to show my appreciation. Any ideas that aren't too expensive? They are both in their late 20s if that matters. One has two kids, the other has none. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Looking for Watercolor paint infused onto paper not pan...?

Several years ago I was at a scrapbooking convention and purchased a set of watercolors that had the paint infused onto paper instead of sitting in pans. This was a great product!!! My kids and I used this -- no fuss no muss. I punched a hole through one corner of the strips, put a ring through them and hung them on my craftroom wall. I LOVED these. Unfortunately our basement flooded and I want to replace these. I cannot find them on the web anywhere. Has anyone heard of these, and if so, where can I get another set? more

Resolved Question: Im sick of being angry all the time, can you help?

I'm 15/female. I walk around with a frown & when people talk to me i give them short ignorant answers. Sometimes i find myself saying things out loud tht can offend people when i'm meant to be thinking it. lol.

Resolved Question: how would you handle all this?

this will take awhile..so you may want to wait till I'm finished, I just want to make sure I'm not being the nagging wife, for further info though..I've not said anything to him yet. My husband and I have been married for 9 years now, and before we had kids, we would always go out and have a good time, well, once we had a child, I really lost all interest in going out and partying, my idea of a nice fun night out was dinner with my husband, and maybe a movie, or bowling together, even with his friends tagging along, but not going out to clubs or bars and getting drunk anymore (we were 20 and 24 at the time) but he didn't lose that feeling, and continued to do so, and of course, I couldnt nor did I want to hire a baby sitter every other night to do so, so I began staying home more, and he began partying with friends more, ..a little info here..my family moved around alot when I was growing up, so I really didn't have any set friends, and certainly none well enough to have a girls night out with, which to be quite honest...I didn't want to have anyway, or not the partying getting drunk kind, which where I live? at 20? that was all the girls liked to do. anyway, the habit started of him being out with his friends and me home alone with our baby, until it escalated and I told him it would need to tame down a bit, there were quite a few times of almost divorces, but things worked out. I want to add here..I'm a stay at home mom, always have been since our child was born, and he works his ass off for us, so I don't mind him going out once in a while, but this was turning into an every night thing. so its 7 years later now, and he has totally toned it down, he'll go through these stints sometimes of picking up the pace, lol, but for the most part, it winds up being a once every 2 week thing, but whats bothering me is this....my life doesn't revolve around my daughters, but they are a majority of it, my 7 year old is in school, and she has alot of activities over at the church next door, so most of my friends are married, with one or more children, our idea of get togethers are scrapbooking, and tubberware parties, and child play dates at the park, I take my 7 year old to all her activities because daddy is working, however...all his friends are single, or divorced, and unattached, I have nothing in common with them..nor their girlfriends who do not have children (or do, but leave them at home to go out drinking with the lastest guy.....I have no problem with women going out, but these are the kind of women who do it irresponsibly) whats bothering me is that..it seems like our lives are going into two seperate directions...he works his butt off for us, I never have to worry about the bills or food, etc but at the same time, I have this whole seperate life from his, and vice versa, I volunteer at our church, and I have pta meetings, and I'm studying for school (I pay for that on my own) and taking care of our kids, some of my friends were actually shocked that I had a husband when he showed up one night at our daughters church choir, and everytime he goes out..its always last minute, so there is never anytime to find a babysitter so that I can join in, but I think I would end up feeling like a 3rd, or 5th, 7th ect wheel if I did go along, this became painfully obvious to me last year on his birthday, I always throw him a party, always, and so I did so this past year, and invited all his friends, which were really none of my friends, so that I didn't feel uncomfortable, I invited my mother and father along, as well as his mother and father, and his cousins (we always have a great time with them) well, at the end of the dinner party (where we were all having a great time) he left..with his friends, and I realized..he's never thrown me a party, not once, I get up early on father's day to have our 7 year old make him a father's day breakfast, and then we give him gifts, yet I've never recieved a mother's day breakfast, and thats even after our 7 year old has asked him to help her make me one, we have poker parties on every 3rd friday of the month, and this last one, I looked around and realized, all his friend are there, they are all single, and the party is always right at the time I'm putting the kids to bed, they don't tone down they're talking, nor the words they use, and if I'm not down in time after getting the kids to bed, they start without me and blind me out, till I can get down there. my question after all this is...what do I do? I feel like we are both living different lifes, I don't think he would even know the names of my friends if you asked him, but its not all bad either, he's a wonderful father, and a wonderful provider, and we still have our moments of sitting on the couch and watching a movie together, eating dinner, etc, but we have nothing in common when it comes to friends and lifestyles. I've thought about divorce on more than one occasion just because of the alone factor, while he's a great provider, and father, he's not really someone I can rely on for companionship.Army Wife, its not that I'm taking advantage of his financial support, I feel bad about my feelings because, he really is a hard worker, he works very hard to get us what we need and want, trips, extras, christmas, birthdays for the girls, but he's just clueless that I don't need a bill payer, I need a friend, companionship, etc, we both come from very hard poor hard backrounds, and I know, in knowing him..if I leave, it will be like a slap in the face to all his hard work, but when I try to get across to him that I can get anyone to pay for me, I can pay for myself, he throws off that I'm being nagging, unappreciative, etc, I'm not looking for a meal ticket here, I love my husband, and if we can make it work, then thats what I want, but I need more than just a bill payer, you know, at the end of the day, he should be the one I can tell things to, what I like, what I learned that day, my interests, but one major thing I've noticed, if I have an interest, and its not something he'sinterested in, the conversation ends real quick. I'm into ancient history, and books, and I'm studying forensics, I'd love to learn hebrew or another language, etc...but if its something he's not interested in, if its not electronics, or sports, then I have no one to talk to. more

Resolved Question: Why does she not except my old fastion interests?

Ok, so I am a 13 year old girl. I want to stop watching tv. My MOM doesn't want me to. She litterally makes me watch tv with her. The only time we have 'quality' time is when we watch tv. But it is a total waste of time. WHY won't she let me not watch tv, or downsize on my computer time. Next, she hates it when I clean the house. Yes. I try to clean and she yells at me. For example, I cleaned and organized the kitchen(I enjoy cleaning, ect...) one day. She comes home, looks at it and starts yelling at me for doing it. When I stopped cleaning she yelled at me for doing 'nothing'. She is a slob(no offense to her) and my dad works so I am the perfect person to clean. Why does she not like it. She also doesn't like that I enjoy reading, crochet, knitting, beading, embrodery, and scrapbooking. I am sorta old fashon. Isn't this cleaning and no electronics thing what most moms want of there kids? more

Resolved Question: Is this bad?

I know this is not a preg ? but I love your answers!I saw a ? that made me think of this. IS it wrong for me to hate my brother in laws girlfriend,wife thing or whatever she is. This is why I do...She is filthy! Her house is ALWA YS A WRECKthey've had maggots on their floors due to 3 month old take out being left on the floors. When my hubby and I were tryin to get pregnant with our second daughter,after his brother and his chick said they were done after their one child they had...started tryin again and got pregnant before we did and she rubbed it in my face(took me almost 2 yrs to get pregnant andit took her 3 months) She even stole my baby name which I admit I was stupid for telling her the name I had picked out for our daughter(if she was gonna be a girl). She does EVERYTHING I DO!!! When I started scrapbooking..all of the sudden she did...etc..just everything! Also this is what really gets me the most,She is a HORRIBLE mom...she has 7 kids and only has custody of 2,she sold 3of her kids(because I have never heard of the "adoptive" parents giving $3000 checks to the bio mother AFTER they have adopted the children. One of her kids is in her aunts custody(this happened right after she was found guilty and is now a reg. sex offender,and the other child was adopted,legally. She NEVER takes care of her kids that she has now.They both leave everyday and are gone from before the kids get up to after the kids are asleep,and then they bit ch about how rough it is taking care of 2 kids! and I am serious and not exaggerating...they are only home when the kids are not awake! If they are awake they dump them on someone else and leave all damn day! Even when they do stay home they do not pay one bit of attention to their kids,they have my MIL change their diapers and feed them and bathe them and evrything else that involves taking care of them. She also does not work..she has a husband in the military who sends her 1500 dollar check every 2 weeks and lives with my biland no my brother in law is NOT her husband. She throws everything up in our faces that she gets w/ her husbands money,and me and my hubby have struggled the whole time we have had children and veer bfore,which I am not complaining because I love my life but it really pisses me off that she throws all these things up in our face and does these things! Also my MIL's b/f works at a church so the food and toys that go to people who really need it get sent to my brother in law and her...I think that is just down right pathetic and WRONG! She expects everyone to wait on her hand and foot and do nothing in return for anyone else... I could go on and on about more things but the just of it is... Does this make me horrible for absolutely HATING my brother in law and his girlfriend? Because they are one in the same...They make our lives horrid no matter what.And yes we have tried cuttin all ties but they still make themselves known wether we want them to or not...am I mean? more

Resolved Question: Some good hobbies/obsessions?

I've become aware that I need a hobby. Now, I am a busy woman -- 6 am - 4:30 pm at work, have to pick up the kids, clean the house, make dinner, send the kids to bed. My husband works evenings, so I'm usually wiped by the end of the day. However, I need a hobby. An obsession. SOMETHING to lean on instead of Y!A or the TV (which I don't usually watch anyway). I've tried beading, but with a toddler and a 6 month old who will be crawling soon, I think not. I've tried working with yarn, and let's just say it didn't go so well. I've tried sewing, but it's too messy. I've thought about scrapbooking, but I don't have a place to scrapbook. Any ideas? I AM a very craft person, but I just don't have time. I was also thinking of training for a marathon. I've never done that before, and it may be fun? I don't know. Any ideas? more
