It does seem to be lucky for you, that's one of the more bizarre coincidences I've heard because it spans a lifetime. :) I've always tried to find my lucky number but I guess it has eluded me all this time that I don't even try anymore. I do like the number 3 as well though. Anyway I am glad...

I do not know much about the law, but I know enough to trust professionals for it, so I agree with tommymac. However, if you cannot get a lawyer who can make a deal with you and it looks like it will become more of a financial burden, then just try to deal with your ex-partner. I would suggest...

I've honestly never thought about this question before. :) I suppose it depends on my mood or probably the time of day. Orange juice tastes better than apple juice in the morning with breakfast, for me personally. Apple juice is more of a "rest of the day" juice because I love drinking apple...

I think it is okay, just don't punish him when he breaks something. Children are literally limitless, and if we teach them that there are things that they cannot do or are not ready to do, then we are stealing potential from them based on our own fears. I think let him go on washing dishes as it...

I had this kind of life as a kid. A long bus ride was very fun because I got to spend it with my friends in the school bus, but in hindsight, I would have loved to just have spent that time practicing something I loved instead. That accumulates to a lot of time wasted if you consider that it...

My parent's used to make me do this as well, and it became a habit and made me a bit fat. I was able to lose it eventually, but it took some time for me to figure it out that I learned to force myself to eat that eventually the limits just disappeared. I'm not saying it is the same situation as...

I wouldn't call it wrong, but it can be confusing. Not that you have to clear it up with other people because you obviously don't owe any of them any explanations, but it is healthy to be honest or at least concise. In the end, yes it probably doesn't matter as long as they are loved, but we...

I read about this when it happened. It's so sad that so many people are unhappy in America that they shoot people. I don't think it's about the gun laws at all. I see it more as a commentary on the lives of people. We should really try to find a way to show our fellow men and women how much we...

Hobbies are really important, especially nowadays when we are forced to focus so much on work and money. We need it to keep ourselves sane. My hobby is just lounging around playing guitar. I'm not that great at it but I'm good enough to make some songs sound right. It's relaxing to play and also...

I know no one around my circles who is divorced. Some of them are unwed couples, single mom or single dad, but I guess divorce is just not really practiced here in my area. Every situation is unique, I guess, and probably complicated in its own way, whatever your particular situation is. We're...

I know what you mean. I have been wondering where the big families are these days as well. I grew up in a household with 4 other kids and there was never a dull moment. I also would like to have that for my own family but I guess the economy isn't very forgiving nowadays.

First of all congratulations, and good luck! I take it that leaving the child with either of your grandparents is out of the question? If it is, then you might want to look into getting some hired help to go to your house and that might turn out to be cheaper since you will be providing all of...

I agree with Foster. Being tired from work is no excuse for neglecting your child. You guys made a commitment when you brought a human being into this world and both of you should live up to your responsibilities equally. By stopping your contribution he will have to wake up and be forced into...

This is very tough. I always say that a happy wife equals a happy life. In this case though, you have to remember that your opinion matters just as much as hers. I wouldn't recommend undermining her authority like you have stated because whatever happens your son has to see both of you as a unit...

My advice would be to break it down to smaller increments, as small as you can. For example, if you break down your tasks per day, and you can still break them down to per hour, then do so by all means. Focusing on smaller tasks will help you get stuff done little by little and by the end of the...
