    16 yr old wearing dirty socks day after day

    Anyone have any insight on this kind of behavior? My very bright daughter who just turned 16 wears the same socks and bras numerous times. The bras aren't as troubling as the socks, but she will wear them and not be aware or care that they may smell. This is the third time I have found that...

    Back from the land of manners to selfish CA

    This is really just a vent and maybe a reminder to someone. I just got back from a trip escorting my mom back South to visit family. You know, the land of, "yes maam, yes sirs". I sent my mom off yesterday to see another sister so it was just me and my dd flying home today. While waiting...

    No question, just venting. Feel better about your situation

    This morning my husband gets his son up and immediately I hear complaints from him that he doesn't have any shirts to wear. I heard this same statement last night and I was asked if there was any laundry in the washer or dryer and he was advised that there wasn't. His dad tried to get him to...

    Ughhh!

    I really felt like taking my dd and just leaving for a few hours today to get away from all the strife that was worse than usual this weekend. I know God is in control. I have to keep believing that He will equip us with what we need to deal with now and a possible custody change soon.

    Getting remarried

    After so many disappointing false starts, I'm actually engaged. This will be a second for both of us and we both have Biblical grounds for our divorces (lest this turn into another discussion). I've had many dates and a few relationships in the last 5 years, and this one was only supposed...

    to thoughtiwas

    I don't think the pm function is working right now. To answer your last question I had asked a few people who didn't have any personal knowledge of your area and they advised me to look for Calvary Chapel churches. (I don't go to a CC church, that was just the suggestion I got). It's kind of...

    Half rhetorical relationship, dating site vent

    I met my ex-bf 11 months ago on a free dating site and we both closed our accounts very shortly after starting to date after he wrote a testimony about meeting "the one". It ended up being a very confusing on/off thing after he ended up taking on full custody of his dd. We always stayed on...

    Addict addiction

    I think I need a 12 step program to help me overcome my addiction to men who are no good for me. Officially I'm no longer "family" to my addict since we're not dating anymore and I'm doubting if a friendship is even possible. He goes to three meetings a week usually and has tons of...

    Beginning an Asperger adventure

    I have spent the whole day almost on the computer looking for resources and info on Aspergers. Both my kids were diagnosed with ADHD in K and 1st grade. My 16 yr old has always had trouble with eye contact, got teased in school and only has one friend that comes to the house (yeah for that...

    Don't know what I need

    I'm thanking God for answering my prayer request two weeks ago for direction and peace with a decision about ending the relationship with the guy I was dating. Marriage wasn't something he was heading toward anymore, but he was willing to compromise sexually. He was trying so hard to be...

    How long do you stick around when you have different goals.

    Keep in mind I'm 41, almost 42. My "un-bf" and I have been dating for 7 months. At the beginning he was an every other weeked dad and when we hit it off, he thought for sure God had brought us together because he was getting off all the dating sites and I was the last person he contacted. He...

    "Preppy" guys

    I don't know how else to word this. The guy is extremely well-groomed, well-dressed, and has some interesting mannerisms. Both my friend and I said feminine at the same time when we talked about him. I just want to hear some comments on this subject. It's not like he's asked me out or...

    I quit

    I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want...
