Are you using a flea preventative on your pets, such as Revolution or Advantage? There are many products available that are not that effective in controlling fleas. When you say you treated the...

Do you actually have someone who will do all of the listed chores? To me, it sounds as if the work load is huge --- entire house responsibility, plus chauffering, cooking, shopping AND complete lawn...

It is fine to use both liquid laundry detergent and powdered clorox 2 in the same wash. The powder is very soluble, will dissolve in the water and get the job done.

I responded early on to this post and having read the subsequent answers, I am going to respond again. I am a migraine sufferer who also does poorly with air travel. I have gotten off a plane and...

You are out of town and he was going to put you in a cab, ill and send you off to a hotel, alone? Absolutely unacceptable.

I work in a vet clinic and am very familiar with the breed. In fact one of the technicians here rescues pit bulls. The experience is that most pit bulls are very sweet and loving with their...

If you are completely unfamiliar with the law, why would you even want to face this situation without a lawyer? Without a lawyer, you will most likely be convicted and have this on your record...

A patient advocate is someone who acts as a liaison between the patient and the health care facility. Usually this is necessary when the patient has some degree of inability to advocate for...

Possibly. If it is on database file that the border guards have access to, you can be denied entry. They routinely send back people with DUI convictions on their records.

Have you tested for internal parasites?

At home tests can give false negatives early on. Seek out a teen health center or speak to your school guidance counsellor for advice. They must keep this information confidential and then you can...

Jake2008 -- Thanks for the legal information. I have printed it for my file.

QLP -- Thanks for the emotional boost. I really feel neither strong nor level headed. I have moments of complete...

I never said the issue of children had not been discussed, explored, tried, etc. but it has not been something we've dealt with for a number of years and considering my age, it seemed that it was...

Thanks for all the advice.

No, my husband is currently not part of the counselling. I have only been once and I really want to do this alone right now. I think it is important for me not to have...

Jake2008 -- All the conversations I have with my husband are about this. Sometimes the decibel level gets really high. It is amazing his perspective on this. He claims he was doing me a favor...

Hi Gemini 54 -- I wish it was a joke. My life is really in such a turmoil. I keep waiting for a miracle to come along and save me.

As for the relationship -- I always thought it was amazing. ...

Hi Jake2008 -- Thanks so much for the kind offer of coffee and talk. We live about 4 hours apart by car along the 401. Might be a bit of a haul.

It is 5AM Sunday morning and of course, I cannot...

To Jake2008 and amicon -- Thanks for your support. I am hoping to sleep tonight. I average about 2-3 hours a night so far. I have started eating again, which is a step in the right direction.

All of this is very uncharted territory to me. Have not booked a legal appt. yet, however, have begun counselling. I'll probably be in it for a long time. This has all been shock to my system that...

To QLP -- No, I have not met the surrogate. She is aware that there is a wife somewhere, and I was also surprised that a woman who was prepared to be a surrogate would not insist on meeting the...

I have been off-line for a while. For those who asked, this took place in Michigan. There is no legal standing for surrogacy in MI. In spite of how badly I feel about how this went down I am...

I have told him I am not on board, however, there is a child on the way. Nothing will change that now.

Outside of this (which I know is HUGE) we have had a really happy marriage. Makes it all the tougher to walk away.

Yes, I am quite aware of how horrible it sounds. Really don't want to divorce, but cannot see how I can be a parent in this situation.

Yes, we talk -- I just do not want to be a mom at this point in my life. Just retired Sept 2009 after 30 years teaching

He so longed for a child and knew it was not going to happen with me, that he did it. Figured I'd come on board.

Child's mom is being paid. No affair -- Artificial

Thank you -- it feels that way to me, also. He, however, is jubilant and cannot understand why I am not on board with this.

No -- he arranged this on his own. I was kept out of the loop. Also, I am mid-50's

My husband is having a baby with a surrogate and wants me to raise it. I am looking for coping suggestions.
