Resolved Question: How can I tell my Grandparents how I feel....?
I feel like I'm being shoved aside by foster children. In so many ways...Okay. The first was when I was about six. They were brother/sister, and they did everything to make my life a living hell. Once, I accidentally ran into the girl (I was jumping off the dock at our camp), said sorry. She blew up at me, and shoved me into the rocks in the water. They pulled my hair, shredded my books, everything. They stayed for five years. They stole, from my family and from stores, lied, cheated and hurt everyone. The boy left after getting caught trying to bash in our television, and the girl left after threatening to kill herself if my Grandma didn't let her go on a date. Shortly after, they got a little girl. I feel like she's there to replace me. She has stole gum and money from me, and plenty of varied things from my family. I graduated grade eight this year, she from SK. They put her's, mine, and my brother's school and grad pictures up. Hers is in the middle, my brother's in by the side, and mine is behind the china cabinet. No, I'm not kidding. Behind the china cabinet! Do I really not matter that much? I don't hate her, she's very sweet (but kind of annoying at the same time). We got an 11 year old who lies about her age, too. She's disrespectful to my family and our house. She spies on us, went through my diary, our stuff, and goes on my laptop without permission. She hacked onto my Facebook. Tomorrow, we are getting two more. Our household count will go up to nine. Sunday my Aunt and Uncle are visiting. It will go up to 11. The two new girls are 11 and 13, and I know them. They are spoilt and bratty, and I can't stand them! The youngest that is already here sleeps in my room, my bed, and is being moved to a mattress in the master bedroom. We have my Great-Uncle and my Great-Grandmother here; my Uncle is in the basement, my Great-Grandmother where my new room is. The oldest currently here is in my room (upstairs with youngest), in my supposed to be new bed. The oldest three girls are sleeping in my room, with a cot. I don't count. The 13,and two 11 year olds do. I'm the oldest. I don't even have a bed, not even a couch! It really hurts me, knowing that I play second fiddle to everyone. It hurts so much, I cry myself to sleep at night. And yet, I don't want to hurt my grandparents. I'm getting kicked out of this house on Sunday to go with my aunt and uncle at my other uncle and aunt's house, who are at vacation (they told us we could). In the meantime, I get to sleep on the floor. Aside from the portrait thing, my grandparents are very conservative, and bikinis are a no-no. They don't like my one piece halter swim suit, and yet, they bought them two skimpy string bikinis. I hate playing second fiddle. I tried to look up POVs from former foster children, and they made my blood boil. One said, "You shouldn't expect us to be grateful. We got ripped out of our homes, dumped into a random house, and they expect us to be grateful? HA!" It's people like my Grandparents who sacrifice their time and home and everything for them, and this is what we get. I know it's not my choice, but it just kills me everyday. It just..augh! I hate being second fiddle. Am I being entirely selfish? I'm trying to be nicer, to understand, but I'm so stubborn I'm having a hard time. What do you think (I'm not overreacting. All of this is true.)? What do I say? moreResolved Question: Repost of question re my aunt and her grandchildren?
I didn't explain it properly so I don't think a lot of folks reading it actually "got it." My Aunt (actually my husbands aunt) is 60 years old. She is disabled from when she broke her back as a nurse. She is under care for depression, anxiety, heart trouble, etc. Her loser son who is an alkie, and his ex girlfriend (who is now doing a 3-5 stint for passing out drugged and drunk and letting her one year old run around the neighborhood at ten at night via an open door,) have nothing to do with the children and are both excused from custody, as it's been given to my Aunt. She can't handle the two kids. They are two and four. She lives in a cramped trailer with her boyfriend, who is almost 70. The kids share a room so cramped you have to walk over a mattress on the floor to get to the anything! There are five people living here, and I have a three year old of my own. We do not have the room nor the resources to accept the two children. The father doesn't want any part. She refuses to allow them to be taken into foster care, albeit she's losing weight by the second, very ill in health, has not been taking her medicine, has not been eating, and yet refuses any and all help. We have tried to lend a hand, tried to offer to take the children - we warned her before she did this that she was not well enough to be a parent to those two at her age and she should encourage her son to get his life back on track, dump the slob girlfriend he has who doesn't want him seeing his kids.... It's just a big old mess, but one thing for sure is that she is no doubt on a one way ticket to the grave. She just had surgery last month for a tumor in her stomach and her son hasn't even taken the kids for more than an hour. She still hasn't healed. She can't keep the children. They are both special needs, with one ADHA and the other having an 85% chance of being autistic. I had suggestions yesterday to help her clean, offer to take them, etc....but those offers go excused and pishawed away. What is left to do? Truthfully, the children belong in a foster home with parents who are certified to deal with children with developmental disabilities. We can't make her give them up, we've offered the help, and we've been rebuffed. What else is there to do? moreVoting Question: Mattress purchase for my grand children?
I want to buy the very best mattress for my grand children. I understand that three big mattress manufactures are Sealey, Stearns and Foster, and Simmons. On the web, I see, these three manufaturers produce a variety of mattreeses. Which particular type should I buy, from these three manufactureres in twin size bed? Once again, I am looking for the best mattress for my grand children. BTW these are two boys ages 5 and almost 3 years old. moreResolved Question: Do you think i got a good deal or no?

Stearns and Foster or Simmons? Thanks!?
Here's the deal. I'm really active and I play tennis every day and golf alot, as well. I think the time has come for me to purchase a new mattress. I laid on 56 mattresses today (yes, I counted) and I narrowed my search to two. One: Simmons World Class Plush Euro Pillowtop Two: Stearns and Foster Plush Euro Pillowtop The Stearns and Foster feels a little firmer and slightly less comfortable than the Simmons World Class. Right now I have a Sealy Posturepedic Plush (no pillowtop) which is about 5 years old. The Simmons is a little thicker, as well. However, Sealy makes Stearns and Foster and I'm happy with all the Sealys I have owned. I have never owned a Simmons and I don't know much about them. So if you have either, or even if it's just the same make, let me know what you think about your mattress. They both MSRP for about $2200-$2500, but they would do $799 on the Simmons and $899 on the Stearns and Foster. THANKS IN ADVANCE AND SORRY IT'S SO LONG! -Ethan moreVoting Question: How would you respond to this statement?
TARP was instated in order to stop AIG from collapsing under the weight of it's debt. That would be wonderful if they could collapse and the economy could take it, but it can't; there are not enough assets to do so. The toxic assets were absorbed by the US because we can handle the spoilage of a few loans whereas companies cannot. A better example would be shooting yourself in the head (business) or giving yourself a flesh wound. Neither is good, one is better. Even if you yourself can live without banks and prefer the money-in-the-mattress approach to financing, most people have their assets in banks. Others are completely reliant upon loans from banks in order to either start businesses or maintain them. I don't like bailing out AIG, but the alternative is much, much worse. By the way, why is the government separate from the people? In our founding documents, the US is a government of the people, for the people. People run it. People criticize it. People corrupt it and People fix it. Addressing your point on how I have the power to fix the entire financial system, what you have is an ideological wet dream. Of course I can control where my money goes, but people are not inherently group-thinkers. People who are poor will naturally gravitate towards the cheapest option, which does not lie here in America, nor employ Americans, nor foster growth; it will end at China, or India, or Pakistan. Most people do not care where they get their stuff from. It's proven that people who are shopping undergo a dopamine high from low prices, something that American-Made cannot boast. Now I think it would be wonderful for the system to work like you want it to, but the fact is, in the real world, people are self-serving. The poor will buy the cheapest things, the rich will protect their money, and business will put stockholders ahead of morality or long term national prosperity. All unregulated conservatism/laissez-faire systems lead to are race-to-the-bottom economics.Ha, I'm just trying to get some ideas on a response to this!

My house has fleas. We are treating both cats as well as our dog and foster dog. We foster animals so this may contribute to the problem, but the animals are always treated at humane society before taking them home.We read we should salt our carpets. Than vacuum. I woke up two days ago with little red spots, not very itchy. Bites? Were washing all bedding. we only have two rooms with carpet. Everything else is hardwood? Can they live in your couch? Can they live in your mattress? How do we treat that? moreResolved Question: Stearns and Foster Ardmore Mattress Reviews (Canada)?
If anyone has this mattress or any others by Sterns of Foster (in Canada!) I'd like to hear their opinions. From what google gives, sterns and foster has given many people nightmares, but those reviews seem to be based in the US. Any opinions? moreVoting Question: My brother is in a foster home right now and now that i am 21 want to take him in. I am the only one?
in the family capable of having him. My grandparents are too old and my brother has bipolar and ADHD. I have been married for two years and am 8 months pregnant. This does not concern me, but i live in a one bedroom apartment. We are going to move but our lease is over in October 2010. I would not mind sleeping on an air mattress but am not sure if that is allowed. I am not sure what the regulations are and was wondering if anyone had any legal advice. Is there a way i can get out my lease or is there a way i can have him stay with me even if i only have one bedroom?He is in a foster home because my mother has been incarcerated for ten years and his father is not around. We have family, supposively, but you would think family would help out. I am the only one he has right now. moreResolved Question: How should I be dealing with this? My husband has started becoming more feminine in appearance.?
My husband has had an enormous amount of trauma in his life.He was repeatedly raped between 5 and 6 by a family member.He was abducted when he was 9 for a three week period and sexually abused during that time. He has been through forty foster homes some which were abusive. He has been sexually assaulted at least 8 other times in his childhood and once during his adult life in which he was stabbed and is now incontinent because of. He was institutionalized for a three year period at which time he was made to dress in girls clothing for over two years. This happened because someone hid girls clothes under his mattress numerous times and upon discovery this was his punishment. Upon discharge to another facility he continued wearing girls clothes for another year until which time he ran away. Now my husband is an amazing man. I love and support him as he does me. My problem is that he is exhibiting feminine traits and they are escalating. His hair is longer and six months ago he got his ears pierced. His eyebrows are shaped more femininely and now has acrylic nails. He wears women's clothing albeit not overly feminine as of yet. But it is noticeable to me and some friends. Even people from work have commented. Women so far are the only ones who have commented on the clothing and most likely it is because we are more attuned to fashion than men. My husband has frequent nightmares in which he relives the horrors from his past. I know there are complicated reasons for why he is acting and dressing the way he is. The obvious part of it has to do with the three years he lived in dresses and skirts etc. This would be difficult for any one person to overcome. I also know that after a period he accepted what was being done and stopped fighting it. I know that parts of him liked the clothes. But there is also a part of him which because of the sexual assaults and violence upon his manhood dislikes being a male. This comes up in his nightmares in which he cries out a lot and even though we have talked about it he doesn't acknowledge this. My husband and I have been to numerous counsellors previous to this. Most of the counselling dealt with the trauma pieces. My husband is tired of counselling and doesn't want to go again. I understand his hesitation. Counselling is very intense and also expensive. So I have taken to the internet and online forums and online counselling to try and get some help and some answers. I want to be supportive of my husband. But I am concerned about the changes and how to deal with them. One friend says that I need to make him decide what he wants. If he wants to wear women's clothing then that is what he will wear. If he wants to wear men's clothing then he can do that. She says he needs to decide one way or the other and then stick with it. I am unsure of what to do. I do not want to lose my husband.I knew of my husbands past before I married him. I am amazed at how well adjusted he is. This past year has been difficult though. I know he has struggled with trauma and being "normal" . He is an amazing wonderful man. moreResolved Question: What do I do about my parents and whole family?
My sister came into my room to ask for one of my books but when she came in she literally slammed the door open so hard that it sounded like it could have broke so of course I shouted at her and told her to get out. HOWEVER, when I did this my dad called me and I started telling him what happened and he automatically assumed I was lying! He got up with anger in his face and hit me really hard about 3 times on my face. When I tried to tell him what happened he got even worse, went into his bathroom, got a stick (the type you get from gardens) and whipped me with it really hard about 10 times swearing and saying I was a liar and things like that. I still have to scratches and bruises all over my body. When I was sent to my room he then came 5 minutes later taking my TV and PS3 and everything and told me to take my mattress and sleep in the garage. If it wasn't for my mum, I'd be in my garage sleeping tonight now. When he found out that I was telling the truth he didn't feel any remorse, he didn't give me back my play-station and still won't let me do anything except study claiming that I'm always horrible to my sister when she usually annoys me like that first and he treats me like dirt. I really hate him. In fact words just cannot describe how much I hate him and I want to show him I hate him but if I do things like ignore him and stuff he'll probably kill me. I need advice please. Is there anything I can do to show him I hate him without me getting into trouble myself? Do I call Childline? (I really don't want to do this cos I don't want to live in a foster home or change schools). Do I carry on like nothing happened? (I really don't want to do this cos I hate him that much). Please don't say I should talk to him because well you know how awkward that would be and how he will probably just shout at me or something again. I can't talk to my mum because she always and I MEAN ALWAYS sides with my idiot dad. Thank you for reading this because I know this is quite long! moreResolved Question: is my dad abusing me?
ok im only going to tell you the worst thing my dad did while my mom was gone my dad got mad at me because he thought i was COMPLETELLY un-responsible he claimed i was a failure because i couldent cook wash dishes or clean *in his perspective* he hit me around choked me a few times broke my necklace multiple times and andd because i wasent responsible i was nice to him he just dident like it he got so angry while my mom was gone he put an air mattress infront of the front door and one pillow and a blanket i wasent allowed to get off the blanket my dad did give me food and if i had to go to the restroom i could when my mom got home she got MAAD and i had to do push-ups until she stopped arguing with him me and my mom left and went to a hotel for 2 nights he still hits me like that but... idk he is my dad so i have a love for him and he's ok to be around most of my time but when he's mad he flips out he is bi-polar and needs anger managment the main thing happened when i was 12 but i never told anyone because my dad allways tells me before i do ill have to go to a fosters home if i do and he will get rid of me so is he abusing me should i tell someone and what should i tell him next time he does it !!!HHEELLPP!!! moreResolved Question: Am i a good writer, i am only 13 i have a little paragraph also.?
"Wake up!" yelled my foster mother as she kicked me in my ribcage. "Wake up!" i jerked forward as she kicked me once again this time with more vigor. I was awake but lay on the floor clutching my aching stomach. "Wake up!" my foster mother screamed once again with irritation. I began to sluggishly detach myslef from my worn-out, stained matress. I was extremely tired from the night before's occurences and found it hard to force myslef out of bed. As i sat on the corner of my mattress my foster mother instructed me to begin preparing breakfast and cautioned me not to be late for school then left the room. I sat on my mattress, head in my hands trying to savor the last minute of sleep i may get for the next 10 hours. I could hear my siblings arguing over who got to use the shower first, at least they got to shower i had to endure the unpleasant feeling of uncleanliness all day, or at least till nighttime. I steadily made my way downstairs in order not to wake my foster mother's boyfriend Joe. Joe was a tall, heavily built man. He was of German ancestry and spoke with a slight stutter. I knever knew what my foster mother saw in him, in my opinion he was neither charming nor good-looking. As i tiptoed into the kitchen, i could feel the vibration of the neighbors early morning heavy metal music. I opened the kitchen cabinet and retrieved a large pan from the bottom shelf. I placed it over the stove and triggered the fire. I fetched the eggs from the fridge placed them on the counter and began breaking them into the frying pan, they sizzled in my face and i retreated towards the sink. The sink was piled high with dishes from the night before. They were encrusted with a thick coating of last night leftovers. I began washing them, coating them with a thick layer of dishwashing liquid and scrubbed them vigorously with a scourer pad. moreResolved Question: Horrible Stearns and Foster Mattress Issue?
Did anyone else have such a bad experience with their Stearns & Foster Mattress. I spent a few weeks researching mattresses all over and came up with they had the best for the least. Having a bad back from an old military injury, my mattress is important to me. It was great for the first two years then I noticed it started to slump in the middle - I weigh all of about 130-135lbs so I don't think I was the issue, plus I lay all over my bed. Since I don't have the money to buy a new one I put books under the mattress and it got better for another six months, then more books another six months then I just kept waking up in pain from the divot still in the middle - now I can feel where the books are and I had an extra deep plush bed. I'm mad I bought this mattress at Macy's and it was a rip off, I went out and bought a sleep number and it's been great but i've only had it a week...i sleep so sound- I guess I'm making up for the numerous months of gradual back pain that snuck back into my life. moreResolved Question: which type of mattress is this?

Okay here it goes summed up as best as possible. My mom started foster care 5 years ago and last year adopted 5 children. Last month I found out that her oldest son (fixing to be 13) had been touching and doing horrible things to my daughter (7) and my moms two daughters (both 5) for awhile now. (FYI- it happened on the nights my daughter stayed with her grandma) I wanted to kill this boy, I really did, it took everything I had not to. After he left we found all kinds of letters he had written under his mattress. Stuff like he was in love with my daughter and she better not tell "or else" stuff like at night time the evil spirits posess his body and make him do evil things. Real weird stuff he wrote, he drew a bunch of pictures, etc. Now he has been staying with one of my moms friends untill DHS and the court decided what to do with him. He told the person he's staying with that he never sleeps, he just acts likes he does and he knows everything everyone does. (see he needs help) Yesterday was the court date, he talked to the District Attorney, the Judge and Counslers. Now this kid had been in and out of counsleing for his whole life so he knows how to fool them and well he did. There decision was to put him in a 'boys jail' for 30 days and then he is to return home. Thats is no counseling, no nothing. So what the fuc* this screwed up child that did this to my daughter and my moms daughters is to return home to them? The courts are treating it like it was a "child - child exploration" "that's a normal thing for children to expierment" Let me repeat the fact that this boy is almost 6 years older than my daughter and did several things to her that she told him no.

The courts are treating it like it was a "child - child exploration" "that's a normal thing for children to expierment" Let me repeat the fact that this boy is almost 6 years older than my daughter and did several things to her that she told him no. Please help, any advice you have, I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sick to my stomach, I can't eat, I'm drained I can't even cry anymore I-----I just don't know what to doYes my mom adopted him, he is now her legal son. She can't turn him back to DHS, it would be "child abandonment" or some stupid shit we checked into that. Madison is in counseling, even her counsler said the boy needs serious help. I will def. keep her away from him but what about my moms girls? O just dont understand how someone that did such horrible things that I cant even type here would be allowed no told to return home to these poor littlr girls that got brave enought to tell on him. He's going to turn into a grown man and continue to do this if he doesn't get help. What he did, what he took from my daughter she will never get back, this little innocent 7 year old girl will never be the same and the courts just dont seem to give a fuck bc its not there kids.Misty, yes he was molested as a child by his grandpa/father (yeap his mother screwed her father and had him and his sister-one of the girls he did this too) His grandpa/father was also in a cult and did many devil worshipings in the house with him present. I'm telling you this kid is evil and has some problems.

My wife and I are looking to buy a new queen mattress. We don't know which would be best for us. memory foam, pillowtop, etc.... We are considering getting a sleep number bed, but are afraid it may not be good overtime. Also considering memory foam, but that is supposedly warm, and gets saggy. Also considering pillowtops, but they supposedly sag very easily as well.. I also see many places on craigslist selling beds that are "cosmetic defects" of name brands like seally and stearns and foster. Are these actually "cosmetic defects" or is it a scam?

I have absolutely nothing to live for, nothing at all. My name is Ayla Jackson, 13 years old and I'm a servant, a maid, or anything else you might want to call it. When I was 9 years old I got in a horrible car accident with my parents due to a drunk driver. Unfortunately, they died.I also suffered from the car accident. It was a miracle I even lived. I was sent to a foster home because they could no contact any of my relatives, there I was picked up my a women named Samantha Dickinson. She owns a boarding school and has forced me to cook and clean for the kids of the school. Ever since then I have been working for Ms. Dickinson. When I was 9, she had hired other people to help, but she fired them all and left me to do all the chores two years ago because she thought I was old enough. The boarding school wasn't big, but it still took me all day to do the chores. I had to cook, which took a big portion of my time. I also had to clean the dishes and make sure the kitchen and the dining area was clean. On top of all that, I had to keep the floor, main hall, and one a week clean the dorms. They always say that when you are a foster child to be grateful, but I can’t. I am forced to wear old clothes from the kids at the boarding school. I also don’t have a proper room, I sleep in the kitchen on an air mattress. An air mattress isn’t always comfortable. I also don’t even get to have an education, but the teacher give me history books and books of that nature to me. “ Ayla,” yelled Ms. Dickinson. And that was my cue. I had just finished making breakfast. That was the easiest meal of the day. On weekdays I only had to make cereal and cut up fruit. I quickly started pouring milk in the bowls filled with cereal. I also set out cups filled with orange or apple juice, and the fruit. Then I opened the door as a signal that the kids could come in the kitchen 5 at a time to get their breakfast. There were only about 50 kids at the boarding school, so serving meals was only a 15-20 ordeal. I also had to keep up on getting the bowls out and filling them with cereal an milk. Once all of the kids had all gotten their breakfast, I started cleaning up. When I was done cleaning up, all of the kids brought their dishes, then it was time to hand wash them all. After that, it was tim to make lunch. As I was saying earlier, I have no life. This was my daily routine. The last couple of days I have been thinking about running away form here. There was so much to think about. We had an alarm system on all of the doors and windows. But, I was the one who set up the alarm system, the only thing was that Ms. Dickinson was the only one that new the password to turn of the alarm. I had decided that today I was going to look through the booklet I had used to hook it up and maybe I could find some other way to turn off the alarm. After a couple of hours of making lunch, I searched in the recipe drawer and found the booklet. I had remembered that a couple of years ago I had put it in their, just in case something went wrong. I opened it up and started looking through it. I found the page that taught you how to set up the password. I started reading through the page. As I read the pages, my hopes vanished. It said that you needed the password to typed the password in the control box. I knew I couldn’t do it. I could never get the password out of her. I was going to be stuck here for the rest of my life, miserable. I looked back down at the page hoping that some kind of miracle would pop out the pages. There was a picture of the control box. I showed the word Password written in the drawing, then right next to it, it said Password again. That’s when the idea popped into my head. Ms. Dickinson wasn’t exactly the brightest person. Just by her seeing the picture of the control box and the word Password right where you are supposed to make up your own, she might have thought that you had to use Password. It was a brilliant idea. The control box was in the kitchen. I could simply type in Password then escape. I was excited. I couldn’t believe that after all these years f being at this horrible place, I could finally escape. I had decided that I would leave at 11:00. By then Ms. Dickinson would be asleep and I would have about 7 hours before they would re moreResolved Question: I can't decide what mattress brand to pick?

my mom bought me a really good bed about 6 years ago, it was a serta. This bed is for my fiance and myself. I weigh about 250, and he weighs atleast 300. I had a bed bug problem, and had to throw it out and at that time I had no money to buy a really good bed, so I ended up with a cr@ppy one. If I sit with my knees on the bed, I can feel the springs poke me. My real question is besides temperpedic what is the next best bed to buy. I can't go over 1,300. I heard sterns and foster hold fat people better than sealy, serta, simmons. I've never had a constant back pain, or ache until this bed. What style is best for a aching back, I mean once I get a new bed I'm hoping my back pain will stop. I know I don't want a soft plushy mattress. I want a high bed, with a pillow top. Do you have to buy special sheets for a 14 1/2 inch deep mattress? I'm afraid if I get a firm mattress, my back will still ache. I need something thats not to soft and not too firm, something that is JUST RIGHT. I know its a long question in many parts but, I really want to make sure i get a great bed. I'm a first bed buyer, and I don't want to mess it up. THANKS SO MUCHThanks so much for the comments. What kind of bed did you get? Thanks again. moreResolved Question: URGENT! One of my cats knocked over the mouse cage! (oh the irony)?
I don't know when exactly it happened, but it happened less than 24 hours ago. I just got home to find one that one of my cats had tipped over the mouse cage. There were 4 mice in this cage. There is one mouse behind the television that I can't get to, and one that I already found (or 2 of my 4 cats found in a shoe lol). So only one is back in the cage. I know exactly which cat did this, and even though it is in a felines nature to do such a thing I feel like ringing her little neck. Let's just say this is not the first time something like this has happened, and it won't happen again as she is for sure going to a new home this time. She's destroyed WAY too many things in this house- all my cats are rescues and she came with too much baggage and unpleasantness, definitely not made for "city-living". But anyhoo, back to the mice. What should I do? I have 3 mice loose in my home, and it just FREAKS me out! It makes me not want to sleep in my house at ALL! The thought of them climbing (and pooping) on me makes my skin crawl. Or, should I just let nature take its course and let my cats take care of them, as horrific as that sounds? Are there any tips that anyone has to take care of this situation or at least put my mind at ease? Just to clarify some points: I did not buy the mice, I took them in for a friend that went into the hospital. And they were in a spot that, I thought, was unreachable. And I know this cat- she's a good jumper, she gets around very very well. And when she goes to her new home she will either go to a rescue that I've fostered for before that will do good by her, or I will approve of a home for her on my own. I'm not giving her up just because of this one instance, it's a series of instances that have just become too pricey for me. 2 sets of new furniture, a new mattress, destroying everything she can, it's just all a bit too much for me. And we don't need to worry about the mice reproducing- we're 100% sure that they're all females, and none of them are pregnant. Does anyone else find this situation extremely ironic or what?! moreResolved Question: I'm getting ready to become single, once and for all, if only it were that simple...?
I have been with my current bf on and off for almost 14 years. We have two beautiful kids together. My son is 11 years old, and has a variety of behavioral problems some due to his fathers emotional detachment and some due to my immaturity because I was a teen mom. My son has taken wonderful steps and is on the way to becoming a successful student and is a very caring person. My daughter is a little diva and was brought up quite differently because I was older when I had her. My bf though doesn't seem to have grown up at all. We started dating when I was 15 years old and fresh out of treatment for an e/d and in a foster home. I have done a lot of growing up to help my kids' home life improve greatly. The one thing holding me back. Their dad. It's awful to say and I feel absolutely horrible saying it. He is completely detached from the kids. He sleeps all day and is up on the computer all night. God forbid one of the kids actually wants to play with him, it won't happen. I have become the one stable mainstay in the kids' lives. He has been in and out of their lives for a better part of their lives. For the last 3 years, he's been here, but I am beginning to believe that we would have all been better off if I wouldn't have taken him back. He has developed a gambling addiction. He actually took my daughter's girl scouts money and to this day denies he did it, but I know that I didn't take it and I know that my 7 year old didn't take it. If she had, there would've been money laying around the house. I honestly don't know what his hold is on me. I do feel sorry for him because no one in his family will allow him to stay with them. He's 29 years old and has never supported himself. I finished school and went on to college. He is a drop out and is laid off until May and now he just lays around like a slug. My family jokes that he has grown into the mattress. The man hasn't taken a shower in 2 weeks and I just can't take it anymore. His ship is sinking fast and I feel like he's taking us down with him. I just wish I didn't feel so bad for wanting to get rid of him. I know I need to think about my kids first and the effect that he's having on them. It's not healthy, but how do I make myself stop feeling sorry for him? As someone who has battled an addiction (alcohol), and won, I just wish he would fight. But that won't happen, so now what? The only way I'll get rid of him is if I leave MY house and wait until he can't pay the bills anymore and then the landlord said he'll take the legal steps to have him kicked out for good and then he'll let me come back, gladly. Has anyone else faced this situation? How did it work out for you? Does the pity ever go away? I'm sorry it's so long, I just really need to get it out, I could actually go on, but I won't.My son is currently at a school for children with behavioral problems ( I had him placed there), which is why he is thriving. I am in the process of coming up with an escape plan and working with the local woman's shelter because I have had problems in the past with stalking etc. I think 14 years is just too long to wait for someone to change and the damage done to my son is heartbreaking. I also know that children are amazingly resilient. So I will never give up hope! I know that my son will not be like his dad, already he so much more caring and sensitive than his dad ever was, and his therapist says that he is doing amazing. So it's not like I'm not doing nothing. It's just trying to be strong and secretive at the same time, because I'm not secretive by nature. That's been tough to keep everything inside and not spill it out to anyone that will eventually end up telling him. I'm trying though. moreResolved Question: Are parents legally required to provide kids with a bed, dresser, etc.?
I recently learned that a relative's daughter has slept on the floor for quite some time now -- she has no bed or dresser. However, while recently there, I saw a lot of books and movies for both the mother and the child. Judging by release dates and when I know movies came out on dvd, what they've spent on media in the past few months alone could've provided her with a bed, mattress, and probably even new bedding. Now, she is finally getting a new bed. But it made me curious -- are parents legally requried to provide one? I know foster parents and occasionally parents without custody are, but what about just an average couple with a child?It seems odd to me that foster parents are required to provide these things, when the child may not be with them for more than a few weeks, and "real" parents aren't.Yme -- I agree. I trust that the child is well-cared for, and she actually doesn't seem to mind sleeping on the floor at all. She had a toddler bed, but grew taller more quickly than most kids in her age group, and grew out of the bed. She started sleeping on the floor every now and then, and eventually, kept doing so until the bed was just for her dolls. Her mother is a single working mom, and takes good care of her in all other respects -- she always has clothes, always has food, she's never been without a decent place to live, etc. The bed was one of the few things that was off about it, and the kid never complained or seemed to think it was a negative thing. So, I never said anything. moreResolved Question: What price would you put on comfort?

My mom found a can in the room where she had woke up and peed in that instead of simply walking to the bathroom (which is very close to their room) she will pee in middle of the night and then hide her panties. My mom has tried possibly everything, any other ideas? This little girl used to ccome and stay the night with my daughter (6 years old) about twice a month for a slumber party but now i'm don't let her as much because last time she did dhe peed all over my daughters feather bed mattress and ruined it.

i was raped and i havent been with any man since, i cant even try without crying!, im getting better but thats not what i really wanted to talk about, what i am trying to say is this pregnancy is a result of a rape i am 13 weeks i am guessing and i already have one beautiful baby boy that i love verymuch, but i am in a hard spot right now, i had lost a job,but found a new one, but i dont make as much money, i live with my mother again with my son, no child support, car got totaled so no car right now, and i live in a storage room on a fouton mattress on the floor. even though i feels wrong in my heart to get an abortion i cant live with having this baby and giving birth to her and then handing her off to a family i dont know especially after feeling her inside of me and my mental state right now it tottering from all the stress idk if id be able to handle it and i feel that its just as wrong to bring a baby into this world who isnt wanted and cant be taken care of as it is to get an abortion. my sister was in foster care for a while and it was horrible for her she got molested and everything so im scared of that too i cant hand my baby off like that so n e way guys i guess i need some closure what should i do?i understand a lot of your views and appreciate them. to the lady who pretty much called me a idiot for not taking the morning after pill has a piont however is not in my shoes does not know whats in my mind and does not realize that i was on birthcontrol at the time and it took me 2 weeks to even say n e thing to anyone for hel p or talk period it was pretty brutal and i know other people get through it but everyone is different and heals and deals differently. obviously i know how developed the child is i already had one if u stopped to read the whole thing! its easy for you to say i can be strong because you dont know me and you are not pregant by a rapist. i did not know the difference between foster and adoption i thought it was about the same, but i still think it is wrong for me to have another baby and i also think it is wrong to get an abortion i am going tomorrow to talk with someone and get some help but there is no need to be rude about it i never said i was going to do itby the way if you are so against abortion then why recommend the morning after pill in my eyes that is the same as an abortion as is birthcontrol because if you had not takin the birthcontrol then a baby could have formed the morning after pill also denys a pregnancy and is the baby worth less to you just because it has not formed yet when it is still a "baby" think about that b4 you judge someone who came to u for help i never said i was going to get an abortion only considering it and again yes i know how developed the baby is i have a 9 month old son. i cannot imagine have a little boy or girl out there that i could not love, protect, hold, care for and not being able to see him or her bcuz open adoption is out of the question for me sorry. moreResolved Question: Please take 5 min to read this inspirational story?
All the hardships I faced together with my family have made me who I am today .Throughout my short yet eventful life, my dream of becoming a professional soccer player has never left me. I have been determined to achieve this goal through hard work, determination and devotion to God. When I was six years of age, living in Ethiopia, war broke out between Ethiopia and the neighbouring Eritrea. All Eritreans living in Ethiopia were ordered to go back to Eritrea and vice versa. To say we were in a quagmire would be an understatement because my mother is Eritrean and my Father is Ethiopian. At this time, my father had been in South Africa for about five months studying theology on a scholarship. My Eritrean mother was going to be forced to go back to Eritrea. My siblings and I are half Ethiopian and therefore weren’t going be granted entry into Eritrea. Since my mother was a single parent at the time, my mother was going to be forced to be hand us over to the Red Cross or a foster home. My mother was distraught, and even though I was a six year old child who did not understand much, I knew that I was going to be separated from my mother. We prayed day and night, and to our relief we received a letter from the South African government granting us entry into South African as refugees to join my father. Since my father was a student in university, we did not have much money. Therefore, when we arrived in South Africa, our family of five had to share one mattress in a single room for a month and a half. Thanks to the grace of God, we finally moved out of that room and kept on advancing in life until we landed up here in Canada with many luxuries and privileges. Throughout all this, my dream had always been to become a professional soccer player. I played soccer in the slums of Ethiopia since as far back as I can remember. The passion and love for the game has stayed with me till today. Soccer has made my integration into different cultures a fairly easy one. Without soccer, I would not have been able to make friends as easily as I have in the six different cities I have had the pleasure of living in. Soccer has also given me an opportunity to exercise the determination and work ethic instilled in me by my parents. My hard work and determination has helped me to me to earn an invitation to go on trials with the Alberta provincial soccer team. Lastly, I am glad to say that soccer has given me a goal to work towards because goals are what give us the drive to work hard every day. The thing that has stuck with me until this day is the courage, determination and goodness of my parents. They tried to help others around us through charitable works and by spreading the word of God even though we were in dire straits ourselves. These events have strengthened my burning desire to become successful in not only soccer but also in business. In the past, I wanted to become a professional soccer player because I felt this inexplicable feeling every time I kicked a ball, but today, in addition to the joy soccer brings me, I want to become a professional soccer player so that I can use my future financial resources to help the poor, those who are oppressed and those who are in the position me and my family were in.

He's a control freak with ego problems. I'm 25, & he treats me like I'm too stupid to know left from right, & he publicly embarrasses me & goes off on me for NO reason at all. He caused me to have a panic attack last night, & I was thinking about suicide. He drove me to THAT point! He made it clearly evident that he doesn't give a DAMN about me! I've done nothing to deserve this mistreatment & abuse. We used to be in foster care. & when he was 18, he left. So, I thought he might've changed over the years. No, he got worse. Back then, he used to beat us with metal clothes hangers & lock us up in a hot, steamy laundry room, & he would pick us up in the air & shake us for NO reason. He also did other things. He's very cruel. His ways haven't changed. If I would've known that, I probably SHOULD'VE stayed in NYC to leave myself to get killed. I left NYC to avoid that environment. I had JUST gotten out of the mental hospital last April. & he's SO stupid, he doesn't give a damn. I had already attempted suicide because of my roommates in New York chasing me with knives. The abusive cops just laughed in my face. Cops in Brooklyn are cruel & don't need to be police officers. But anyway. After attempting suicide with the roommates in New York, my brother sent me ALL the way here to TX, just to USE me to pay all his bills. So he started cursing me out & harrassing me because he had to struggle by himself. The reason why I said he was stupid is because he was so selfish & greedy to get my $$ that he didn't care if I would've committed suicide or not. He gives me no privacy. He snoops through my belongings. He has NO respect for me. He would have gum disease & use my toothbrush, & then have NERVE to ask me if I brushed my teeth. Like I'm a 3-yr. old. I'd rather be funky-mouthed with NO disease, damn it! It's questionable of whether he has HIV or not. That's what the family says. & I suspect that he has pubic lice since he has spray for it, lying around the house. He's always telling people what THEY need to do, but his OWN life isn't straight. Everything he tells me I need to do, he should be doing, too. I'm glad I have my own apt. now. & now that I have my place, he cut his internet service off, just to come & freeload off of mine & go on those gay sites & put viruses on them. & he makes me feel uncomfortable & unwelcome in my own home. I tell him not to smack in his food, & he thinks I have nerve telling him that. He makes me really wanna choke & beat him when he smacks NASTY! It hurts my ears. I told him that. & it's a shame how he smacks louder than he talks. That's how bad it is. He sucks AND smacks on his food. He has NO manners whatsoever. If I don't want you smoking in my house, even if you go outside & smoke, I don't want that freakin' residue on my bed sheets! & he walks on my mattress AND pillows, with his dirty shoes on. (I have a mattress on the floor. No bed frame.) He knows this is a racist town. & he's trying to trap me here. There are NO job opportunities, & there's hardly any transportation. It's sad how I have a college degree (BA in Spanish), & STILL can't find a job here! Not even with the school system. Every time I mention about moving out of this town, he attacks me like a rottweiler, but verbally. When I had my car a few yrs. ago, it was BRAND new. He always wanted to DRIVE it. In fact, he wanted to drive it before riding it. He's been driving for about 20 yrs., & STILL can't drive! He's a wreckless driver with road rage. I even offered to PAY him to let me practice driving so I can get my TX state license. He took my $$ & made up an excuse not to let me drive. I am not a wreckless driver. In fact, I have OCD, so I try as best as possible to follow the road rules. But every day he calls & nags me constantly about using my computer. I had a license, but when I moved here, they wanted me to take the test ALL over again. I'm messed up ALL kinds of ways, living here in Denton. I resent him, & my schizophrenic mom wants to try to call it jealousy. But for what? He also keeps trying to pressure me into getting a phone service I can't afford. Why? It's not like he wants to talk to me anyway. I KNOW I don't do anything annoying to him. But he'll call ME & within 45 seconds, he'll make up an excuse to get off the phone with me. But when it comes to everyone else, like other family, his gay friends, & his female friends, he talks to them about any & everything for hours & hours. But he only talks to me about computers & jobs, & nothing else. If I try to talk about something else to him, (even in MY house), he'll ignore me & then get an attitude. He doesn't even care how important it is, what I have to say. He'll decide on a weekend to send for me to come all the way to his house, just so he can pspsychologically torture me. & he tries to trap me & make me spend the WHOLE weekend. Be in the house ALL day, & I don't exist. He waits until his mouth is stuffed full of food to start telling me things. & it's bad enough that even earplugs or my earphones with CD/mp3 player @ the LOUDEST volume, WITH bass, don't even block out his smacking sound. I'm not overexaggerating. It's THAT bad! When I was living with him last yr., he lied to me, saying I didn't have to pay anything. He was mismanaging his OWN money & asking me for money every day. He was working 2 jobs, @ that! Still asking me for money. I was only getting paid like $643/mo. or something for SSI & Social Security. He would lie to me & say he needs my $$ to go pay the light bill, & he gives it to his gay friends & buys pizza & cigarrettes. But if I buy toilet tissue or dishwashing liquid, he'd publicly embarrass me & yell @ me, talking about me spending ALL my $$, when I'd spend only $2. He would only come home 2 days out ofout of the week & he would order me to do chores & clean up HIS mess that he made just before he left! & he'd come home grouchy towards me. When I had my car, he would say, "Don't slam your door. Ur gonna make ur car raggedy!" I''m wondering what the hell is wrong with him because the door CAN'T slam! It was 1 of those new cars with slam-resistant doors. When his gay friends & when my other brother came to stay with him, they got to do whatever they wanted, & they didn't have to pay him a PENNY! Not even have to do chores to stay with him. & BELIEVE me! They were very filthy & messy. I didn't ask to come down here. He's trying to make everyone live here. I don't know why. I can't even try to talk our problems & misunderstandings because he falsely accuses me of talking crazy & starting my sh*t, when I'm not. I can't even ask him why he treats me so differently from everyone else.The former foster family gave me post-traumatic stress disorder because of their abuse. This brother right here, is making me re-live my past abusive situations. He was sort of treated the samw way by them, so why is he trying to finish where they left off, with their abuse? ***Sorry so long, but I had to give a bit of a history of what's been going on, for you to understand where I'm coming from.I do NOT "choose" to deal with this. & I have no way to get out. I can't just up & move ANYWHERE. I'm glad I have my own place now, but he wants to treat me like my apt. belongs to him. I need assertiveness training. He's very intimidating & threatening. Also forceful. Lack of money & having no job, are what's holding me back. moreResolved Question: My daughter's very close friend's father is..
Her father is very strange. I knew him since i was a child, and my daughter and son grew up with same age kids, and they're all best friends. On the fourth of july, he came around 2:00 and left at 2:45. They were very upset, they didn't get to watch fireworks, or anything. So, i asked my daughter to ask her friend to ask her father if it's okay if the two kids can come spend a week here [they did it before]. He promised them. He said thursday, and he said he'll pick him up friday morning. We already purchased tickets to a broadway show, to a waterpark, and everything. I've talked to the father, and i asked why thursday, and he told me because wednesday they are leaving for PA & Conneticut, which i do not understand. He can hardly walk or breathe. About 2 years ago, he was in the hospital for 7 months. He had pneumonia, and lung problems. We visited every weekend, and we took the kids for a weekend. He lost 150 pounds out of the 7 months, and since he's been home he gained 300 pounds. They live in a crappy apartment in queens. My daughter's best friend cooks, cleans, and is basicially a house-wife. He lost his wife to Breast cancer 7 years ago, and ever since that, he's been fine. He sleeps in a hospital bed, and he took the mattresses out of their bedrooms and threw them out. They 10 year old daughter and 13 year old daughter share a bed, next to the father. The 10 year old son sleeps ON the floor,with a blanket and pillow. He said he does not want them to sleep in the bed, afraid something will happen to him. I feel those children are in danger, and they tell me how much they miss their mother and how much they wish they can live with me. I do not want to call CPS, and if i do, i feel they will go to a foster home, but i know they will be better off with someone else. What can i do? moreResolved Question: when is it it it time....

Hello ! We are looking for a new mattress. We always have had a Sealy Posturepedic Plush Pillow Top, and now we are looking for Stearns & Foster Ultra Plush Euro Pillotop. We never have had any problem with Sealy Pillow Top sagging or being uncomfortable. Any reviews ? Opinions? I am dreaming about Strasbourg Park Ultra Plush Pillow Top. moreResolved Question: Toddler gnawing window sill?
My 14 month old daughter has a Montessori-style bedroom with a futon mattress on the floor, giving her access to her toys and the entire space of her room in order to foster independence. The room has been completely baby-proofed, but lately she has taken to gnawing the paint off of her window sills, which she can reach when standing up. Does anyone have any suggestions for preventing this? We are not interested in moving her to a crib. moreResolved Question: If you purchased and have slept on the Westin Heavenly Bed for more than 2 yrs. what is your opinion?
I have had back surgery and want a soft feel with underlying support. I have gone to every mattress store, dept. store, furniture store...etc. The only thing I could tolerate without feeling slightly crippled immediately was the Stearns and Foster 'Orchestra', but about 1 hr later, began to ache... I would like to know how you have faired with the Westin Heavenly Bed before I cough up $200+ to stay in a hotel and try it out. Also if you know of any way of trying it out without staying in the hotel, please let me know. Thanks in advance. moreResolved Question: My new poem, please answer if you like it or not and suggestions would be great thanks.?
She comes walking down the stairs With hundreds of people staring at her They are watching what she wears Just to she if she is wearing her furs She opens her eyes His hand is out in front of her So she puts hers out too This very handsome prince Asks her for a dance or two. They dance around the room And she doesn’t mind the people around them She realizes that the groom Is staring at all of them. As she, the bride, Stares at his face She realizes that he is showing nothing to hide As he looks around this wonderful place. His smile so wide As if to say Ladies and Gentlemen this is my bride And I love her everyday More and more. She wakes and realizes this can’t be true Because at night I pray for you That you rest in peace And that you love me too. She had fallen asleep at the mattress store And everyone heard and was staring at her They said sorry for watching while you’re taking a snore But as you woke up it all just seemed such a blur. She told them the story Of her husband and her She said he always held her as if with great glory They all started to cry as they listened to her They said it’s like a fairytale With no happy ending She said they were following such a happy trail And had not realized such horrible things were pending A little girl asks Excuse Miss I was wondering how did your husband die The little girl was oddly wearing a mask The woman starts to cry and says darling I’ll try I had just found out I was pregnant on our yearly anniversary So I called him at work And told him not to hurry So happy was he and asked the clerk So they let come home and there was no traffic He speeded his way home and didn’t make it From there it gets too graphic Because he got hit Instead of him running to my door It was the police And I hit to the floor But I know he will rest in peace From there I had the baby but every time I saw her She reminded me so much of him So I could not deal with her I put her for adoption And they came right away They gave me the option Would you like to see her and I said NO WAY Now that I realize what I had I miss my darling husband And his beautiful baby girl I need to get out of this dreamland And out of this whirl My life had been a mess And my daughter is probably around eight going to be nine I would put her in dressed And say she’s all mine. I would love her Like I love her daddy And in my arms I would curl her in a hug And say I love you Maddie I would give anything to go back to those days The days when I had her in my arms Those days are such a haze And I’d give her all of these charms The little girl interrupts With tears in her eyes She take off her mask and says sorry to disrupt But this story that you are saying reminds me of mines You see my name is Maddie And I’m just about nine I haven’t met my daddy You see every month I have a new assign I am also a foster child And they tell me my mommy didn’t want me But I kill them with a smile And I run to the tree They talked and talked for hours And the woman couldn’t believe it The woman left to go but Maddie some flowers Maddie started to cry and couldn’t believe it They checked all their paperwork at the foster home And yes indeed she was Maddie’s mom She took her out of there and took her home The woman looked at her darling and said oh dear you’re growing so fast soon you will be going to prom. Fifteen years later Maddie was twenty-four She got married and named her first baby boy after her mom’s handsome prince Life went on for everyone and they all lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END.do you like it? moreResolved Question: Rate best to worst mattresses?
