Everything my son has he wants. He cries if he doesn’t get his own way or doesn’t have the things he wants. obviously my son gets more than him because he lives with us whereas he doesn’t. I can’t afford to keep buying this child things we have to pay his mum a lot of money to keep him and when we do have him every other weekend we still have to feed and cloth him as well as buying him things. I think its up to his mother to buy him toys and games. it would be different if he actually lived with us because it would be our responsibility to buy for him and we wouldn’t be paying his mother. She doesn’t work, so gets everything paid for her by the government and gets all this money to do what ever she wants with. She seems to be spending a lot of it on smoking and weed as well as alcohol.

I just feels so fed up, when we’re not working we got the kids and my boyfriend just seem to want this child of his whenever he can and has forgotten about us!! if we didn’t have the child it would be easy to ship my son off to my mums but i feel guilty to ask of her to have 2 kids.

We do visit my mothers every now and again as wells as other family members and this child is o rude. he does not greet them and has to be promted. when you ask him to use his manners its like getting blood out of a stone!

I don’t want my son copying this behaviour as he has been brought up with manners. My boyfriend and i always seem to argue everythime his son comes. i think the problem is his son because any other time we’re fine.

Please help!!

-good initial combinations that people actually use, e.g. D.J., A.J. etc.

-Names to go w/ initial combinations (including J.D.)
And tell me what you think of Chevy and J.D. (also considering that we already have a Jayden.)

So, what do you think?
Thanks loads for your help…
I told you, I ask for your opinion because I just can’t help feeling that maybe what I think is pretty good is regarded as trash. And, besides, if it turns out that it’s really good, I might publish some time later, when I’m older…
Okay…someone deleted their answer…sorry about the first comment…it was a reply

The arrow pinned itself straight into the mid-point of the board. Louis heard someone clap from the side, breaking the former silence.
Louis knew he was the best soldier his race had seen in centuries. He knew that he was the head of the army, that every military move in the galaxy was under his finger. That with the click of his fingers, hundreds- thousands even- could die.
He remembered when he was a child. When this was what he wanted the most in the whole world. When being head of the military was like being titled God.
Louis still enjoyed it…why on Earth shouldn’t he? Still, a small, bug was nagging at the back of his concsious. He was fighting for his race, a dream he had snatched when he was a little boy. The problem was, as a boy, his life was an us and a them. There was no in the middle. You defend the us and you kill the them. He was taught what his brothers were taught as well. If they’re not on your side, you try to move them. If they don’t move, you kill them.
This was so much easier to comprehend when he was a young boy. When he didn’t know that the them weren’t devils. That the them were quite very much like the us. Still people, still souls, whatever they believe.
And now? Now, Louis was wondering whether he was going to hell.

Thanks for your help!

My brother (my son’s Uncle) has been drinking a lot of alcohol for quite some time (he is in his mid 50′s). He’s been in jail for drugs and no longer uses, but his drinking is so severe that he cannot work. He is currently on unemployment. When he got out of jail I gave him a place to live and have required that he pays rent which he does. He drinks excessively but I cannot make him stop – he has to want to stop. There is nothing we can do as a family to get him to stop. I am not enabling him because I make him pay rent and he is the only one who will stop drinking- I can’t make him.

He has two children- one is in her 30′s and married with kids and his son is in his mid 20′s. Their Mom is no good. Their Dad (my brother) hasn’t been able to help pay for things for them because of his drinking and he is unemployed because of drinking, so I have helped them out financially. I cosigned on the daughter’s house. I have helped pay for his son’s college.

My son makes more than both of my brother’s kids. I don’t tell him straight out that he needs to contribute to his cousin’s college, but I let him know the situation so that he gets the hint. His cousin almost missed a semester of school because his dad didn’t have enough money to pay for it. I gave him money but I expect my son to help out too- just a couple hundred dollars or more.

Now my brother is very sick from liver failure. His son is almost finished with college and wants to go to law school. Because my brother’s health conditions he has massive medical bills. I am helping out with those. I expect my son to help financially with his cousin’s college and continue to give just a couple hundred dollars a year when he begins law school.

the problem is my daughter in law who is married to my son. She is upset that I am hinting to my son that he should help his cousin out with school expenses. She says that my husband now earns at his new job 20% less than he did at his other job from which he was laid off and that they have two small children who do not have a college savings account at all and that they come first.

I told my husband that I already have a college savings account for them. My daughter in law says that they should not be depending on me to finance their kids college and that because me and my husband have health problems that we might have to dip into the account I set up.

It is not my brother’s kids’ fault that their dad is not able to pay for things for them. I feel my husband has a duty to help out his cousins and that his wife is making excuses and just wants their money for them. My son’s cousins are family and my son has an obligation to them since he earns more money than they do- it is not their fault that the have financial problems.

So I think my son should help them out and when my brother dies I think he is obligated to help out with the funeral expenses too (just a few hundred dollars- why is his wife so upset over this?) because my brother is destitute. This is my son’s family.

How can I convince my daughter in law that she is out of line to object to my son’s helping out his family financially? It’s just a few hundred dollars once a year and always has been.

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter,
with trembling hands.

“Dear, Dad.

It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and
you. I’ve been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I
knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercings, tattoos,
her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.
But it’s not only the passion, Dad. She’s pregnant. Stacy said that we
will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of
firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more
children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t,
really hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it
with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we
want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS,
so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!! Don’t worry Dad, I’m
15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I’m sure we’ll be
back to visit, so you can get to know your many grandchildren. Love, your
son, John.

PS : Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Tommy’s house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school
report that’s on my desk. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come
home.
