I am not very close with my mother, but I need to get her something for Christmas. I have absolutely no idea what to get. She likes to play piano, and sometimes she reads fiction. Help me!

I know it's awesome! I actually just read an email from xbox live, and they are adding a whole bunch of other new content too!

I think that any couple who separates or divorces and has children needs a custody agreement filed with the court. So many people think that they don't need one, but it protects both parties and the children. You can always amend it later if need be.

We just found out that my aunt (who pretty mcuh raised me along with my grandmother) has stage four kidney cancer that has spread to all of her reproductive organs too. I don't even know what to say to her right now. :(

Thank-you very much for that 2andalone. I have always wondered how people could view watching their children as "babysitting"! Bear, I know what you mean, my wife is going out shopping this weekend and leaving me home witht he rascals...gotta stock up on energy drinks and sleep ahead of time! ;)

Well, in the past month I would say maybe a little over $100? My wife got most of our kids stuff at a great price way back in the Fall so we didn't have much left to buy.

I am pretty sure that all that is meant by this is like Stongenough said. Just a member of the opposite sex that you work with that watches your back and you do the same for them.

Have they done anything specific you can get a protection order for? Something like harrassing phone calls or texts, threatening physical violence to you or your spouse etc.?

I saw the update of this story, and both kids have now passed away. What a sad thing for the entire family. I believe the mother had a history of mental illness.

I think if I lived in that county and I had not paid my fire fee I would be mailing a check. I guess they felt like they had to make an example of someone or no one would pay!

I hope that your wife is recovering well, and two more weeks isn't so bad after going through four weeks. No more family in the house will be your Christmas present!

From what I read, a lot of his problems are financial. With all this hoopla about other women people stopped donating money and their support.

We have done this before and I am sure we will again. This year we are so strapped for cash we are just going to donate some toys to Toys for Tots.

Did your kids have imaginary friends and if so at what age? My daughter will be three in January, and for the past few months she talks to her "friends". We always have to look for them...sometimes they are hiding under the bed, or outside.;)

Which baby is this? Sadly, there are several missing kids right now. Baby Lisa and one in Arizona are still missing too. I read a neglect story yesterday from Georgia where they nailed the child's bedroom door shut, and kept the poor three year old in filth.

We do not do Santa, the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny at our house. My oldest knows who Santa is like in the movies, but she does not expect him to bring her presents. In our opinion it IS lying to your kids...and for what? So they can think some imaginary man brought them toys you busted...

We had a family tragedy this year that for the first time, put some of that burden on me. I will readily admit that before this I never viewed my parents as "old".

Do you have your Christmas tree up yet? Ours has actually been up for about 2 weeks. Our oldest (almost 3) is VERY excited about Christmas this year so we went ahead for her.

I don't think it is cut and dried like that. Sometimes you should be a friend to your kid, and other times you need to be the responsible parent. I don't understand why some people think it has to be either or.

I don't know, I read an article about this and they are taking a different tact than they did in Mississippi so it just might pass.
