Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately Oliver, his aunt and granny are a bit too far away to check on him regularly. Odinn7, the parties are another worry. Smoothy, I agree with you, thanks for...

Hello Everyone, looking for some advice please. My 21 year old son is studying abroad for a year. My husband and I want to visit him for a week. We have to leave our 17 year old son at home and would...

Sorry you went through that Smoothy. I'm just back from the doctor and he said it was an inflammation of the valve at the top of my stomach caused by a tendency for heartburn and exacerbated by the...

Thank you.

Ok thank you.

Hi, Last Saturday night I had burgers with mild chili flakes sprinkled on them before cooking. They tasted fine, not too spicy. I had bad heartburn that night. I took gaviscon and something to...

I will, thank you.



Thanks for all your help. It's wonderful to have this site to go on when I have a problem. It's helped me so much.

"And I read somewhere that maybe, just maybe, we all are autistic to some extent and at various times in our lives."

We are WG. At least I think we are.

Hi, I'm mbyrne.

The consultant who...

Joypuly, yes I agree that we all cloak our more basic natures in prettier fabrics. We have to. If my son can do that, well good for him. It will help him. I just wish sometimes that it could be a...

Thanks for that Joypuly, it's reassuring.

Hi Joypuly, thank you for answering. I'm sorry I should have said before that he also has a mild degree of Asperger's syndrome. I'm not in the habit of mentioning it. When he was diagnosed the...

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with my son.

He is 21 but has the emotional maturity of a 17/18 year old. He is bright but has ADD. With our help (my husband and I) and a lot of...

Ah, thanks very much J-9. That's very kind of you. We're really looking forward to it now. Can't wait to experience it all! :-)

Hi, we're travelling to New Orleans for a family holiday in August. No choice in travel month unfortunately. We're a family of four. Our two sons are 21 and 17. We're from Ireland so we're not used...

Ha ha, I'd rather be eating the pear!

Hi JudyKay, I have to say I agree with you about the English. I light up inside when discussing English literature. I could talk about Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice all day for example.

I also...

I have. The ideal path for me would be studying English literature. Unfortunately I cannot afford the fees to attend college. This course I'm on normally costs €4000 and is run by some of the top...

I'm not sure. I find that after I've read over something, discussing it with someone helps it to stick. I don't want to ask anyone to do that though as it's unfair. Most people I know have no...

Thankfully they have been resolved. We are back on an even keel and they are not impacting on my studies.

My problem is more mundane. It is as I said, my inability to remember so many dry facts,...

Hi, I'm studying financial accounting and advanced taxation. It's a step below studying to be an accountant. If I pass my exams I can stream into the 3rd year of a degree or I can continue studying...

It does actually. I'm not an expert but I've read up on this subject and I believe that a man has to be ready to commit before he can fall in love.

I had an idea that she was playing a game with...

Just wondering what happened between not being interested enough in her to commit and "come December I know I'm madly in love with her and miss her like crazy"?

How did you go from unsure to being...

Yes that's it. I'm actually missing the positive attention I was getting before. I'm probably getting my just deserts because I shouldn't want that from someone as well as from my husband.

If he...

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I will have to adjust my behaviour towards him.

I just hate that I might have inadvertently caused this behaviour and I hate that I could fix it if only I...

Hi, I asked a question before using this title. I'm hoping that the people who answered me before will remember because there are more developments and I was looking for advice please.

Brief...

Not that I know of. I just checked with his friend and she says no problems. She's friends with his wife too.

Thanks for trying to help. I think it's just going to have to remain a mystery. I...

Hi Joypuly, sorry for leaving stuff out before but if I was to write every detail it would take forever.

If that's true about him looking for an affair it's disappointing. I thought he had more...

Hi Smearcase, no I don't supervise him. We work together as part of a team. He just seems to value my opinion lately.

He praised my work a couple of times in front of our work colleagues recently...

Hi Fr_Chuck, thanks for answering me. I have to say that it never occurred to me that he might be attracted to me. You see, we're both married.

He knows that I'm very happily married. His wife...

Hi, I have a good working relationship with a male work colleague and still do. Btw I'm female in my forties. I've noticed lately that if I express an opinion about him that's complimentary he...

Hi, I use Mitchum. I don't know if you can get it where you are tho'. Also Botox for underarms is supposed to work great - don't know why.

Hi KDJ1, I don't know how the relationship ended except that you ended it. If it was complicated or if things were left unsaid, you may feel you need closure. I think you should contact him and tell...

Hi Cat, thanks for replying to me. No, he didn't try walking away and no, I did not make him stay.

You asked how long have I been tense and making my family walk around on eggshells. About two...

Hi Oliver, thanks for replying to me. Yes I have been very tense for the last couple of weeks and have been taking it out on my son. Last night when we had a chat I apologised to him for been bad...

My 20 year old son lost his temper with me yesterday. We were having an argument. I was giving out to him. He shouted at me, kicked a chair and the wall. I was so shocked. After things calmed down I...
