You first have an obligation to your son to teach him how to be a man!  You are not raising a child.

I would have a talk with your ex-husband who apparently has figured out how to treat a woman and have him talk with your son.  But most importantly, it has to come from you that you are special also and deserve recognition.  So many women will tolerate this and it is not acceptable. 

I would also have a serious talk with your current husband about his job as a husband, friend, lover.... but also his obligation as a role model to your son as he is the man in the house and he should have done something, made a card, cooked you diner, did the dishes and in front of your son, explained why...  *Lets do the dishes for Mom because it is her day!* 

I feel very strongly that raising a boy to be a man in these times is very hard, respect, love, tenderness, concern, compassion, understanding, kindness.... these are all things not being taught to our young boys. 

Many, many times I will walk into a store and a young man will walk in right in front of me and not hold the door.  I always follow the young man in and make mention of the fact that he should hold the door for a lady, children, or the elderly.  Yes, sometimes they take offense to this but I do not care.  Someone has to enlighten them.

Good luck to you Mom, and do not forget to call that ex-husband on Father's Day!

Finally have my 14 year old trained - but he had to go without birthday presents or Christmas presents from me last year before the light would dawn.  No amount of preaching about my feelings, lectures about reciprocating good wishes (even IF one has no money to shop for gifts - a phone call or card will NOT bankrupt anyone!!!!), or anger could get through to him.  No amount of pointing out people he knows who whine that "nobody remembers their special day" that do nothing for others on their day seemed to matter.  But the golden rule did - and he realized that he DOES want to receive something from ME, so I better receive something from HIM.

His 31 year old sibling cannot and will not see the light, and continues to moan that nobody cares on x-mas or birthday; forgetting all the years that presents were received and were not even acknowledged, much less any gratitude expressed or reciprocated.  Guess that person is doomed to a lifetime of lonely special days.

OP, your husband sounds like an entitled, lazy turd.  Its not your job to be his secretary, or remind him he has a mother.  Good grief, if he can't remember THAT on his OWN, he deserves whatever the fallout will be.  I sincerely hope on his next birthday she "forgets" him in return.  As for father's day - ask him why hasn't he reminded you to call your dad, and why hasn't he gone shopping for a present for your dad for YOU?  Maybe then he'll see how stupid and ridiculous that is.

He is just looking for love and now he is getting played by Donna (who in my opinion looks like a tramp and is acting like one).  I do agree that the look on Stephanie's face will be priceless...and then she will lunge at Donna and try to kill her....good times, good times!

I had a vaginal ultrasound every month and if things looked good I got an HCG injection.  I was on my last month of being able to do this and got pregnant and my child is now 13.   The Clomid alone did not work for me.

Also, DH had to be tested for counts and on the test he was found to have white cells.  He was put on antibiotics.  My doc said that it could possibly prevent conception.  If you aren't ovulating yet it might not be something you need to be concerned about, but if DH hasn't already been checked it is worth checking into. 

This was my second pregnancy.  My first pregnancy I had no issues, but I had also been on the pill for 10 years so things were kept regulated.  I didn't go back on the pill after the first pregnancy.

Good luck to you. 

is that they are trying to ban smoking everywhere and get everyone to quit however, the tobacco tax is a bit part of what pays for our states education (along with alcohol and any gambling).  So my question is, if everyone were to quit, how would these things get funded....oh I know it would be moreso on a burden to everyone and then people would complain about that.  It's a no win situation.  Yes smoking is bad for you, we know that, but ya know what I ENJOY it.  Do I like people smoking in the cars with their kids, no.  Do I like people with kids sitting in a smoking section of a restaurant (not that we have those here anymore) no.  Do I like seeing pregnant women smoke no.  But as an adult I have every right to make the choice to smoke and it is not up to anyone else to tell me to quit.

My MIL gave me the first three and said I would love them.  I did but too much because I stayed up until 3 last night to finish the last one!  I went out today and bought 4 through 13!  I feel like a junkie but I absolutely love them!

Keeps me roasty toasty...In that picture there the wind chill put the temperature to -25, the kind of cold where your eyes steam and then that steam frosts your lashes up.  It's very dangerous. 

HOWEVER, these coverall things are designed for dudes with no curves, so the crotch winds up going down to your knees and you wind up walking like a penguin.  I have wiped out in it and I feel like the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka where they have to roll her away.

No way, no day would you find me in California or anywhere outside of New England.  It's best I don't venture too far away from my mental health care providers, know what I'm sayin?

I just some at Tractor Supply I've got my eye on (Man, I'm such a hick!) that are actually specifically tailored for women, so a set of those are on my wish list along with that split keyboard. 

You did the right thing.  He needs to learn otherwise you are going to have a yo-yo on your hands.

I wish I had stuck to my guns the first time my son did that.  It took me a few years to learn.  Moving away from home is NOT something small.  It is a BIG thing and you son needs to realize that.  I WISH I had listened to someone besides my mothers advice and maybe my son would be better off.

IMHO--- People should get real - You took YOUR key back  You did NOT kick him out you were giving him what he wanted.  You did NOT put him out into the streets.

Stick to your guns mom and I think that one day he will be a better man for it.

can all drink it too.  Come on guyz... my Mom won't mind, have a drink and have some fun.  Bring the chocolate syrup!  Doesn't she have big nipples.  "My Dad likes 'em too and my baseball coach!
