I have two teenage children 16,18 Boy & Girl, My sister who also has an 18 yrold son has to continually make remarks over the years on How her child dosent have to wear brand names to be somebody. My daughter 16 does choose to wear mostly name brands my son could care less. We dont buy our kids alot of clothes just as gifts at christmas and birthday's and they have 2 grandmothers who spoil them with most of their clothes. I dont ever judge my sister on the rearing of her son but she seems to always have something to say about the job I'm doing. My kids are good kids they stay out of trouble and do well in school and sports. I never hear anything about that. she is driving me insane. We don't live close..thank God, But I am finding myself avoiding calling her and visiting. She never really talks to me she just give's me constant advice in every area of my life. I never ask for it nor do I need it but she seems to think she's knows best and gets upset with me if I don't follow her ways...AGHHHHHH Anyone know whats up her @#$%^

I'm 39 weeks (I'm a new Mom) this wednesday. Me and baby is doing great! I go to a large private practice and you don't normally see the same Docs but I tend to see my regular Doc and maybe another one if isn't available. My regular Doc has been on vacation to Hawaii ( I love my Doc...he's the best!), so I've been seeing someone in the practice that is pretty good.

Today I went for my weekly check up. The doc said my cervix is very soft, I'm 3 centimeters dilated and he felt the Babie's head. We discussed my birth plan and how I didn't want pitocin involved in my laboring. The doc then said...well how about you choose a date and we get you induced. He said while everything is going good...lets induce. The doc even tried to convince me that pitocin is actually god's greatest gift to laboring Women...LOL! I said...hell no! I didn't fight him too hard but I said no firmly. Why would he suggest such a thing when i just told him how I feel about being induced. There isn't any reason for me to be induced. My BP is stable and I'm strep B negative and the baby is fine. I know I'm full term but what about the baby coming when my bod is ready. He kinda suggested for me to induce now while things are good, then maybe something could go wrong later. Then my crazy hubby had the nerve to agree with him. Really my hubby is just excited but anyways..isn't my Doc kinda rushing things? I'm in no rush...I want him to finish baking in the oven.

Moms...I have no intentions on doing it this soon unless I get to a point where we need to do it for medical reasons or 41 plus weeks. My hubby is terribly excited and the grandmothers are ready as well. What to do?

My sister started going to church about 2 years ago. Since then she has been saved and baptized and goes to church regularly. The problem i am having is that she has cut our mother, myself and my son out of her life and her kids as well. We believe in god and follow his beliefs and thank him every day for the gifts and blessing he has given to us. We just dont go to church on a regular basis and talk about God all the time. There has been no communication between us in months, just the other day my sister calls our mother. She tell my mom if we want to see her 2 kids for there birthday and Christmas we must meet her in town for dinner and that we cant go the the birthday party or the Christmas party either. My Mom asked if she would come over or meet somewhere so we can discuss what is going on and get back to being a family. My sister replied no, my mom asked why and my sister went off on her. Saying she talks about people behind their backs, she lies, and she dont wont the her kids around to see that. I personally know my mom very well and she is the one is not the most respectful, honest and helping person i have ever met. I know we didnt have the best childhood growing up but who does. I know deep down that my mom has done everything in her power to give us what we needed and kept us as happy as she could in all points in our lives. What i dont understand is how she can call my mother up and yell at her and talk about people behind their back to her mother, lie to her about why she is really mad at her, and when she is keeping her kids away from their grandmother and aunt for unknown reason. She cusses my mother of doing what she did in a 30 minutes conversation. What i am needing answers for is how to fix this so we can be a family again. I so miss those kids along with my son as well. I have seen my mother heart broken over all this and i wont this to come to an end soon. So what should we do, should we meet her in town or what. Please please help. thank you and God Bless
I thought about contacting the Pastor at Church. He knows us from going a few times to church when my sister got baptized and also saved. we also went when My sister oldest(9) got baptized. I was hoping we didnt have to go down that path, but it looks like we might have to. Also to mention she has deleted both my mother and i from Facebook and also has blocked us from evening looking her up. I know her actions are not what God would want. I Just dont know if the pastor that has somewhat lead her here can help.
Thank you for the wonderful advice and the prayers. they are truly needed and i am continuing to pray for my sister and her family. Again Thank you

Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.

I attribute my success to many people in my life. However, none of them stand out from the crowd more than my mother does. She is the person who has had the greatest impact on me. Without her help, I wouldn’t be where I am today, ready to receive the best education that I could ever have.

When I was a child, my mother divorced my father, and I moved in with her to my grandmother’s house because she could afford to take care of me. She worked two jobs so that I could attend a private, bilingual school. She wanted me to have a better education. Although I didn’t see my mother very often because of her tight schedule, she was my role model: her hard work, perseverance, and determination could be seen in my hard work in school. My mom’s efforts compelled me to work hard and strive to be as good as her. Her efforts completely changed who I was. I went from an awkward, shy boy, to a more social, responsible, and well-rounded student. My mother was always there when I most needed her. She taught me that something good can come out of every tough situation and that all I have to do is look for it.

As the years went by, I saw my mother suffer and go the extra mile for me. It pained me to see her go beyond the call of duty to provide me the things I needed. In late 2008, thanks to our family and life’s circumstances, my mother met my step-father. After their marriage, we moved from Honduras to the United States. Thanks to this unexpected gift that God bestowed upon us, I will able to fulfill my lifelong dream of attending college in the United States. I will be able to show my mother that her efforts were not in vain and that I can be as good as I can be. It’s time for me to repay the favor and to show her how much I love and respect her. My mother expects great things from me, and I know that I can exceed those expectations with her unconditional, everlasting love and support that never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks in advance!

When the men of the Greatest Generation, who served in World War II, came home, they produced one of the most destructive generations to the once great country we know as America.

The Baby Boomers were the ones who:
-introduced drugs, specifically marijuana, to mainstream society
-spit at the soldiers who served in Vietnam
-took prayer out of schools in 1962
-took the 10 Commandments out of office buildings
-brought homosexuality into mainstream society
-whine that God is brought up too much in society

I have heard Baby Boomers themselves admit that their generation destroyed America.
