It depends on your family dynamics, if they're close, if your own relationship with them is strong and healthy and you are well-regarded. It will also depend too if you do pursue the relationship...

No we have separate bowls for them, and we do feed them at the same time. I was worried that feeding them at different times might create jealousy, what do you think?

I posted a while ago that our dog had died, and everyone was very nice about it, thanks. I'm still grieving for her. However the problems isn't me-our younger dog took it pretty hard, she was like...

Definitely don't go overboard for the first birthday of a new relationship. I agree with the cupcakes idea, baked goods are always popular because they're personal (I went to some trouble to do...

It sounds like a fairly explainable misunderstanding, UNLESS you were seen switching price tags or altering the packaging before purchase. If you haven't done these things and have merely tried to...

Belgia is right, not being able to stand up for yourself is an issue beyond this relationship, and is likely to be carrying through into other relationships, workplaces, friendships, family. Being...

Firstly- remind yourself that your date already likes you and you him! Don't stress too much, the first few moments might feel a bit awkward but you'll both warm up and get into the swing of it. I...

'communication' not 'communications'!

"If someone have no power of communication what should we do?"

Try: If somebody is unable to communicate, are we able to correct this or assist them to improve their communication skills?

Best wishes for your and your family and soon to be new arrival! I hope that your baby's father is a decent man who decides to be a good father. You sound strong, you sound very practical and that...

It's an interesting question whether to have children but I'm more interested in what you are doing to yourself with this viewpoint. You are focusing on children as being representative of the...

sorry I meant to say that respecting you is actually all about respecting your values!

There's a great expression about virtue untested, meaning that it's easy to be virtuous when temptation doesn't come knocking. It's knocking love, and it just means your values are being put to the...

I absolutely see that as controlling, why should she have to SMS you every day, and so often? Why do you need to have her repeatedly prove she's thinking of you?

No it's not awful, they are dearly loved and cherished, and it's been a good life. I just want people to not romanticize life as a young parent, keep their eyes open, why do a degree then rush into...

Holy cow, we're in Australia, so yes free health care, and both of us got free university (college) degrees. So we went into it without loads of debt.

I am really sorry that no-one answered this even if only to acknowledge this situation and express sorrow at it.

It doesn't sound like you are going to change much here at the moment. Do you...

Once it is sorted though, do get in contact with her. She may be very helpful to you and once it is sorted, it sounds like it's going to be the case that she is also a grandmother. I personally...

We had a baby when we had $800 in the bank, and a bomby old car, these were our total net assets. We watched all of our friends have lovely weddings, holidays, save money, buy houses, learn new...

This is sad, unfortunately the longer it goes on, the harder it will be to build the bridge back. Can you visit him? Or write him a letter telling him how you feel, that you miss him and would like...

All good advice from answerers. The other ones I do is one you've described, think of an image, but it helps if the thing you are thinking of is something that makes you feel safe, secure. I like...

This is a good answer! The theory is: mind equal body equal- we can't sleep if our thoughts are racing, we can't sleep if our body isn't relaxed. Good techniques described here to address both.

I am really concerned about you being pressured. This is not cool, even if he talks to you about how much he loves you, or gives you any other story about why you should do what he wants, he's...

Hiya. This site and this type of question is going to attract people who have very strong views. People like me do believe that there is a choice in whether to proceed or not with a pregnancy, and...

Puberty, the sexual maturing of a human, begins at any time between 11 and 14, so of course kids at 14 are aware of their emerging sexual identity! I don't think CuriousTeen that you are asking for...

So sorry to hear this Danielle. It's very, very hard to move forward but inevitably we do. I'm sure your mother knew you would be sad but if she could talk to you again she would want to know that...

Look abortion is a tough thing to contemplate. It's not something a person online should say yes go do it, or definitely don't. I definitely say seek counselling, even by phone and start talking it...

I wonder why people feel the need to control others, because ultimately you can't and they just end up disliking you. A great relationship is one where you actually do have some privacy, some free...

Romance and sexual feelings are sometime not the same thing! Romantic actions can be all sorts of things, anything that lets someone know you are thinking about them, making their favourite meal,...

Your house isn't haunted. Nobody's house is haunted. Old houses have old wood, old structures, cracks and nooks and crannies, they can often give you the creeps especially when you're alone- thank...

Ok her behaviour is a little odd and it might be worth mentioning it to a school counsellor if you're in the same school. I wouldn't be prepared to say it was a mental health problem, it could just...

I think he might be playing you along. If you liked someone would you go out with someone else and keep them as a friend 'just in case' it didn't work out?
If this isn't consistent with how you...

Yes I was one of those women who didn't have a single period after my baby's birth but got pregnant when the baby was 10 months old!

Many women have different signs and symptoms for early pregnancy for me, it was initially cramping but no bleeding, the nausea came a few weeks later for some of my other friends it was a different...

Jumanji?

I've moved out on a room mate, the rest of us just found a new place to live and didn't include them in the lease.

Really leave, this isn't going to change, and he's got a lot of enablers around him. The worst of drug or alcohol use is that you are never really sure which version of them you're talking to, and...

No seriously, there are no ghosts. And if there were why are they wasting their time letting your puppy out of the laundry and making perfume smells? If I were a ghost I'd be relaxing in a Thai...

I'm frankly not surprised that he's acting a bit confused. He was in a relationship, went out of that one and into one with a single mum with 2 kids, and now he's going to be a first-time father,...

Good on you for asserting yourself. It can be very hard to say no to someone we care about (or thought we cared about). This feels like a very transparent act of manipulation. You saw right...

There's some good advice here already. I read your message and can hear how much you don't want this relationship to end. As a person who is getting older and hopefully wiser, I know life is...

Thank you so much, it is comforting to hear your words. I am grieving profoundly for this animal and am consoled only by remembering that she had the happiest life of any dog and a peaceful death...

SweetDee, thanks for this, it all went so fast yesterday and because it's Christmas we were stuck in that few vets other than our local, who were all heading out to holiday today. I REALLY wish we'd...

Hi, thank you for your answers.

Unfortunately the vet did exploratory surgery and identified a large tumour in her colon. The prognosis wasn't great with expensive chemotherapy over many...

I read an old post here about a dog refusing to eat from a member called MClaren, and I was so desperate to find out why and what happened but the post is closed. His dog had exactly the same...
