My daughter is a teacher of 8 year old, most from low socioeconomic backgrounds She hears things she would never had thought children that age would know about. This subject has come up and like she said, if this is the worst thing that would happen in a day, it would be a blessing of a day. And, yes, she says the child does get embarrassed even though others may laugh...... so when does one decide whether it happened by accident or on purpose? I suppose this has never happened to you.

Is my anger justified? Opinions welcomed
Here's the story: My ex-sorta-sister-in-law shares a child with my brother. They both have DUIs and neither one of them can drive. They only call me when they need help getting their child (who is the same age as mine and attends the same school) picked up after school and delivered to either one of them.
I own a home in the city, a pretty bad neighborhood, and I happened upon this magnificent house very near her house, in the correct school district. This house is on a dead-end dirt road surrounded only by trees and nature. Truly the perfect house for me.
So, here's what happened. She needed me to pick her up and then go pick up her child after school. On the way of returning them home, I said to her, "Oh, Sue, let me show you my dream home." I drive her past it, saying how I so want this house and I'm going to make it happen. She says, "Wow, that would be perfect for me and my family" (she has three other kids, having had this child with my brother while having an affair outside her marriage).
Well, sure enough, at the open house on Sunday, there she was with her four kids and her her toothless husband -- making plans for who gets which room. I told her I was less than pleased that she was trying to snatch my dream, when her husband stated, "Whoever gets to the bank first gets it."
My feeling is that she was out of line. There are thousands of houses for sale in this town and I had displayed extreme interest in this one. Sure, it's no one's house until the financing is in order, but I feel like she stepped on my toes. Now, when she calls me tonight asking to deliver her child again, I really feel like I'm out fo favors for this woman. She obviously has no regard for me. Am I right to be so miffed?
I get the most relief from...
Running a HOT, HOT bath and laying down in the water, belly down, and allow my nose to run and run. It really helps to clear it up...for a little while but after a few times of this, I'm better. Hope you feel better..
That's a relief! (nm)

well that is a relief
You made it sound like he could not get out of bed, so it is just you who has the problem. Maybe you need the counselor.
some relief for your baby...
Try hemorrhoid cream to the blisters...I swear it will significantly decrease the itching. My daughter was around 4 when she got the chicken pox and I put Preparation-H on her blisters and kept it on them and she barely noticed them. Please try this, it honestly will help! Good Luck...and BTW, sounds like the doctor isn't the only one that is a jerk!!!  ---to your "husband"...
Sure hope you get relief! (nm)

What do you do for stress relief?
I am having a tough time blowing off steam lately and looking for some stress relief ideas...some for in the moment and some for just routine daily/weekly life stress.
I am pregnant so moods are crazy and I am just having difficulty letting go of even the smallest of things. Looking for some pointers, ideas, suggestions. 
My garden tub used to do the trick but now that I work until late at night and have a child home from school for the summer, it is difficult to find the time for that or mani/pedis which I also used to enjoy.
The relief has to be indescribable for all of them. What an ordeal.
It is such an amazing thing to have something like this turn out in the best way it possibly could. My heart breaks for all those families who will never have such an opportunity but takes joy in this, a very special day.
debt consolidation/relief
I'm seriously considering going with one of those debt relief companies to get myself out from under a mound of credit card debt. I feel like I'm drowning. Has anybody had any experience with these companies, good or bad?
good deal, oh the relief! nm

Before considering the CCCS or debt relief (sm)
places, first call the companies. If you haven't been charged off yet, most will work with you and have hardship programs. The accounts will likely be closed, but after 3-4 ontime payments they will "re-age" to show as current, will lower the interest rate so payments are lower and you will pay off over a 4-5 year period (in most cases, you can't use the cards as acct will be closed to further charges in exchange for drastic reduction in interest rate). Going with CCCS or similar, has the same effect as a BK, even worse, on your credit rating. The accounts will report as "closed, paying under debt management plan." While bankruptcy is an option I suppose, if you're a homeowner or have any assets, you'd have to file Chapt. 13 which will allow for some payback. I'd call the companies first and lay out your situation and see what they suggest. The credit industry is in a mess right now so they are willing to work with you if you're upfront and showing good faith.
Ah, that sounds like a relief. Thank you so much for that info! nm

Oh, what a relief. --sooo happy for you!.nm

Update, heavy sigh of relief. sm
My daughter just got a text message, her friend's time of the month arrived. Thank heavens. Thanks for your advice. Hopefully she learned her lesson.
credit card debt relief
Does anyone have any experience with those companies claiming to reduce debt by up to 70%, etc. ?? I'm drowning in debt. :(
Actually, it was a relief. Family spread all over the country,
shopping-for, standing-in-line, buying-the-gift, wrapping-the-gift, boxing-the-gift, driving-to-P.O., standing-in-line, mailing-the-box, etc., x 5 siblings, + 1 mother who needs & wants nothing, & myself, who has no storage, counter, or closet space for anything anyway, it was just getting to be a pointless rat-race. All of us enjoyed the holidays a lot more this year by just plain enjoying them, without the usual related stress involved. Our big day has always been Thanksgiving, when we do all try to get together at mom's.
Creams make me itch even more, what I have used is Aveeno skin relief body wash, not the packets
you dissolve in the water, but the actual wash that costs anywhere between $6-7 depending on where you live and was with that 2-3 times a day. You can try that too and see if it helps her any.
