I agree! Having to address your own thank-you note is tacky. They might as well hand you the thank you card too and just have you take it home with you since they obviously can't be bothered to take the time to write it out themselves.

I made my little cousin take back some stuff from the grocery store when he went with me. His mother was a bit upset with me for doing it, but to my knowledge, he never stole again. Sometimes, the immorality of it doesn't sink in, but getting caught and confronted by a non-family member can scare them enough to stop it. Also, you could tell her you simply cannot trust that she won't do it again, so she is no longer allowed to go shopping until she can convince you that she will behave appropriately. It may take a while, but she'll see the consequences and miss the outings with you.
I'd definitely bring it up to a counselor if none of the above worked. They may be able to bring up the behavior of her birthmom being wrong, so you won't have to seem like you're downgrading her to the child. I'm sure it's got to be confusing if she saw this behavior much.
Good luck!

Ditto for me
 I am no good on the keyboard before 9:00 a.m. lol

Put it down and leave it. It could take a couple of days but hang in there. Forget the baby food, etc, as that does not have the vitamins that a cat needs. I have always fed my cats on the dryer away from the distractions of the house and family....might try something like that too. Good luck!

Now, Antonella could probably model, but she can barely sing compared to Lakisha. Hope she wins it all!!

Woo-wee..He made night manager at the Pizzaria in 3 months...or was that weeks. Guess she could not see her self the wife of the new owner of the Pizzaria chain! How many mink coats and cars will that buy!

I had one of those husbands as well. He actually called my job a "hobby" I know exactly what your going through. I agree with the other poster, have him sit down and do just one report, he won't. Like mine said, I don't know how to type, I asked him to at least listen and he still refused. Lots of luck to you.
Ditto!
Me too!

I wish someone would put her under house arrest! Actually, I just wish she would take herself and her wonky fake British accent and LEAVE. I can't even go to the yahoo homepage without having to see something about her. It isn't that she doesn't understand her actions, it is that she doesn't care. There is a big difference there. She is putting other people's lives in danger and possibly their kids lives while she is out driving around aimlessly having 30 cars of paparazzi following her driving in the wrong lane. Any other celebrity in Hollywood doesn't seem to have the same problem Britney does, and its because they know she is a walking trainwreck and they get a good paycheck out of her. But she is SO attention-hungry it is ridiculous. Luckily I live VERY far away from her and hopefully it will always stay that way :)
And on that note, I have come to the conclusion that either her doctor is ignorant for letting her go this early because obviously she is still not right, OR she is simply doing all of this for attention. Could go either way.
Ditto. Like it here better now, better than ever!
Boring over there at that other place.

Gimme a break, imagine a queue of mothers waiting for their turn to get milked.
PETA shouldn't go this far in their love for animals to make humans act like animals.
There are lot of risk factors involved as well.

Fabulous advice. At this point, also, I'm not sure I would worry so much about Mom's sensibilities. It sounds like she already knows something wacky is going on with the husband. Strongly recommend/encourage her to get a power of attorney that is not family and have the executor of her will be someone who is not family.
Good luck. That's a horrible position your sister is putting you in, and it sounds like she is not being a good daughter.
Add me too to that ditto...nm

Ditto on above.
I went quite a while ago. Stayed on resort (The Oasis) most of time. We did go downtown once, rode the bus down and back one night, and also did a tour to one of the Inca(?) temples on a bus. But played it safe and stayed at the hotel the rest of the time (4 women). Watch out for the bees though. I am not allergic to bees but stepped on one on the beach (ocean side) and got really nauseous and dizzy from it, spent most of that afternoon in bed feeling sick from the sting, was a huge bee too. The Oasis had it all there though, 1-mile long pool, pretty cool place. Hot and breezy, ocean was too rough the whole time we were there to go in though, red flagged the entire stay. Have a good time, beautiful place.

I'm a big fan of living up to commitments and making marriages work, but this one doesn't sound like it has a chance. He's going to destroy you if you let him. Momma has already done a number on him. He's never learned to pick himself up and do for himself and at 30 he sees no reason to change.
Let him move. Can you handle the rent by yourself? Whose name is the lease in?
One important thing, though: If you do let him go, file the paperwork for a legal separation. That way any debt that he incurs after that point is his and his alone. Close any credit cards that you have that might be in both your names. Change your bank account/s to ones that only you have access to. Make sure your direct deposit for work is going into one of those accounts.
Don't let this guy ruin the rest of your life by his complete selfishness. Good luck.
Ditto on that!

Mac got married at around 17 and he would've had to be around 16-17 at time of his *donation,* but MJ could get anything he wanted. The resemblance is absolutely striking!
Ditto, didn't get much here either..

ditto - I agree with you on that......SM
people got shot over the new play station or some electronic thing I saw.......on TV news early morning of Black Friday......

Ditto on that, I am an A on one side, AA on the other - sm
talk about fun! Either go without or those stretch ones since I don't need any support really except on the 1 side a little bit. There are more AAs out there now but 5-10 years ago other than shopping in the girl's department it was impossible!

Ditto and NEVER again. I'd rather pay double! lol
Amazing what some people will do to save a buck.
I ditto what Hayseed said below - sm
That is a great idea she has and will foster lots of goodwill for future encounters. However, I definitely would not feed another person's animal anything because some are on special diets. Best of luck to you! 
Ditto......our truck tag is $600....
When we lived in Florida, I paid $60 for a tag on a brand new car, and we are paying $600 for a truck about 3 years old now. One county over it is much cheaper. This county is ripping people off. Even property taxes are ridiculous here.
Ditto this!! If you adopted me, then you
could be the greatest grandma that I wished my kids had now. Mom and did don't live too far from us (couple of hours) but don't make any extra efforts to spend time with the grandkids. Apparently, their idea of grandparents and mine are different. I remember spending nights at my grandparents and tooling around in their garden, building train sets, going for walks and adventures and even walking down to the corner donut shop with my g'pa for donuts and coffee(hot chocolate) every saturday morning. I practically beg for my parents to come down - I send them schedules of the kids activities, special school events, everything but there is always a reason they can't come (mainly they don't want to leave any of their critters alone for any length of time - but they are willing to animal sit for their neighbors all the time). At Christmas, the kids get one outfit and a book. If you ask me - to all the grandparents on this board - spoil them with your time, hug them, kiss them, and keep on creating memories.
Sorry, didn't mean to rattle on but this is always a touchy subject in my household because I had such fond memories growing up but my kids will have none of that.
Ditto used to be that before the kids - sm
now 1 x a week at the most, sometimes we go 2-3 weeks or longer. Didn't help that the minute I got pregnant the first time I totally lost my sex drive....that was 10 years ago. So I can take it or leave it really, still enjoy it just don't have to have it.
Ditto...men don't have the legs
Ditto this great post! Also, maybe your dog needs
a 24/7 true friend, like another dog. Obviously having major separation anxiety issues, and understandably. A friend would sure help, as long as you don't crate both a long time. I understand the crating issue - I have labradors, and about the first 2 years of their lives, they are very goofy. Will eat anything if it moves or not, including sofas, tables, chairs, etc. I am a big pro-crater when you are not around, for the dog's sake. I crate all mine at night until they mature and settle down. Maybe that is the case with you? Maybe your pooch is mature enough now to want to be out of the crate at night.
Ditto that, love the Colts.
