I don't like cheaters and those who don't respect their spouse and their marriage. Unfortunately, a close friend of mine is part of the people. Not sure what would I do to help his spouse with this.
I would teach them to break bad habits by giving examples, and it will usually do the trick. It depends on the habit though. It is hard to teach about waking up early, because I couldn't give a good example for that.
More than just for a friend, I have ever worked part time for my brother when I still studied in college. You guys are right, it didn't work well for us.
My wife comes from a family that has no major issue with money. But she is a great saver and hard worker. When deciding to accept my proposal, she knew that I didn't make a lot of money from my job.
I rarely manage time to hang out with my friends or neighbors. When I do, we usually would talk about our family especially the kids, but never about the wife.
When you are planning another baby, do you take your kids' opinions into consideration? Would you ask them if they want another sibling or not? What if they said no?
I agree with Restless. I think everyone loves to get a gift, no matter how wealthy he is. I would just suggest you use your intuition, or just get nice things for the baby.
Good for you. We haven't officially become vegetarians, but we have tried to reduce our meat, chicken and other animal based food intake. We actually do it for both reasons you have mentioned.
I remember ever reading a quote about relationships and marriage. A relationship or marriage is not just about finding the right mate; it also is about being the right mate. I wonder if I have actually been doing it.
I am with you about leading by example. I know that there are times when we have to lie to the kids for their own good. Just don't unnecessarily lie to them.
It is not a bad idea, but I think it should be the job of the UN? Then again, the UN is known to always make resolutions and usually end up breaking them.
How to tell that you have bad breath, if using a halitometer is not an option? I am a bit paranoid about having bad breath, and it would help much if I could find an easy way of knowing that I have the problem.
She is cute! I believe she would be a successful business person when she has grown up.
When it comes to making money, the only thing the youngest can think of is taking a walk and finding coins on the street.
I agree, honesty and integrity are two of the most important values to teach the children. It is also important to let them know that they are free to speak their mind, and so are other people they are dealing with.
I don't know any classmates of mine who are doctors. If there are any, it would be odd to see them as doctors though. I know who they were in school days.
It actually is a tricky situation, and only the couple knows the situation the best. Like Timothy implied, it is possible that the wife became non-supportive because the husband didn't try hard enough to find another job.
I think that is a good price. I would be more than happy to rent out my unused rooms to "yoga enthusiasts" for that price. It is almost like free money, right?
I love the idea of President of the United States calling me Dad. But I doubt any of my kids would be interested in going into politics. I would just let them be what they want to be.
