I share your thoughts too Tyler. I think what most young people do is not looking for mentors as they plan to settle down. All it takes is willingness to accommodate the other person.

If the boys are old enough, then they will gauge your brother by what he truly is. It is unfortunate that the wife is dragging the kids into the whole picture when they actually need to be brought up without any sort of prejudice. From experience, I have noticed boys better bond with their...

Life and character is a chain. I would like my son to be like me and be able to correct my mistakes and imperfections. In most cases, we will borrow some attributes from our parents and the cycle goes on.

My friend in college had an interesting personality. He would share anything, however small it seemed to be. One day, I implored him to tell me everything behind his generous side. He said these were important lessons from his father, even though they parted ways a few years on. That halted...

Yes, they have to deal with the jibing but at the end of the day, those criticisms yield nothing. I think it is best to brush them off and live your life.

That is true Salazar. There is no good in lying but at times circumstances force that. There are people who will want to snoop at everything you do so disclosing your location is not something you become comfortable with.

I know sounding as an optimist when many divorces are taking place seems like going against the grain. What do you think are the major causes of divorce? Is it couples not taking enough time to date or the love dying off after a while? An old friend who has been married for years tells me...

The best way to sort differences out is behind the scenes and away from the glare of the children. What they see is what they will grow up to know at the 'right thing. '

I suggest you observe the 21-year old dude and depending on his behavior, make your next step. It seems you have already made up your mind about him not steaying there. Did you have a chat with your wife about this before you got married? In a way or the other, he was to come up anyway.

I have a friend who resides in a one-bedroomed flat and feels it is too big for him. I have managed to get a bedsitter that goes for the same price and that would suit his needs. He feels it would have been cheaper but I think its location to the city center plus demand justifies the price. I...

I once lost my keys and had a difficult time tracing my spare ones. I almost spent the night at my neighbor's. At work, I keep losing my biro and have to snatch someone else's anytime I see it lying without use. I tend to be careful and I just lost my phone for the first time, a fortnight ago.

Initially, I was skeptical about using my monitor and T.V Combo because a lot has been said about functionality slip ups. Nonetheless, I bought a monitor and tried it out. I have not had any difficulties so far. The reception is crystal clear. I then repaired a C.P.U I had been using back in...

It is said that sons bond better with their mums. It was the same with me until she passed away in my late teens. I had to get used to my dad and the best time to relate is when you are out of his and independent. We talk occassionally but the guidance he has extended right from childohood...

Do you sometimes do things to your children and feel sorry but your pride cannot let you apologize to them? When I was growing up, I never heard my dad say sorry to me, eben in the event that he was the one on the wrong(or so I thought). Now as a parent, it strikes me that we also make...

A joint account is not a bad idea after all. We do not have an ATM but any of us can draw the money from the bank. It is a matter of trust but I know it does not work for everyone.
