OMG I so agree!! I had hoped for Zack/Dick final

I HATE THE FACT THE DONATOS WON - I want to vote at cbs site for Eric to push Daniele to win because then she and Dick will be at each other's throats once again - because he'd probably want half the $$ if it all goes to her.  *LOL* - money matters and family often cause problems *laughs*

After a divorce is final...what are your thoughts on the mother and her child requesting that their names be changed back to her maiden name?

"Traditionally, courts ruled that a father had an automatic right to have his child keep his last name if he continued to actively perform his parental role. Although there is still some bias in this direction, it is no longer strictly true. Now a child's name may be changed by court petition when it is clearly in the best interest of the child to do so. When deciding whether to grant a name change, courts consider many factors, such as the length of time the father's name has been used, the strength of the mother-child relationship and the need of the child to identify with a new family unit (if the change involves remarriage). The courts must balance these factors against the strength and importance of the father-child relationship. What this all boils down to is that it's up to a judge to decide which name is in the child's best interest."

What would really be in the childs best interest if he doesn't grow to know his father anyway? keep the last name? or change it?

Katee, Courtney, Joshua and Twitch.  Then they did the first elimination, which was Courtney and the second was Katee. 

Then down to the final TWO:  Joshua and Twitch.

JOSHUA IS THE FINAL WINNER!!!!    $250,000 PRIZE! 

I dearly loved Twitch too!  When Joshua won Twitch hugged him and he held up Joshua's arms!!! 

I would rather them be locked in a car driving than strolling or walking alone - In Florida - we have had MANY YOUNG KIDS killed (murder) by being alone walking to and from school.  My children are VERY responsible and pay for everything, except that car insurance (which is wayyyyyyyyy too much) which I offered to pay until age 28.  By the age of 28, they'll be earning more $$.  My OLD brother (and he's very old *LOL*) did this for his son until age 28 (think he's about 38 now) because of the exhorbitant insurance rates.  I decided to follow suit.  If we have it, why shouldn't we help them.  I'd rather help my children while I'M ALIVE AND KICKING rather than what they get when I die, IF there is anything to get *LOL*

Y'all have a GREAT day! 

Remember, we can all agree to disagree without being nasty and rude. 

One of my children saved all the Xmas/holiday/birthday $$ ever received from toddler-hood so that at 17 had $6000+ and put it down on a BRAND NEW SMALL CAR, albeit I had to co-sign the balance.  Child did pay the rest off.  I too am very proud of the children who are  young still, one has worked for 10 years already (started off part-time at about 14 after school by own choice).

Yep, I want kids to hang out in multiple numbers today - never walking alone - too many CREEPS out there in the USA today and they are EVERYWHERE....really creepy to me.........

Let's sing out for the responsible good kids who are out there trying to live life in this messed-up world!!!! 

HOORAY FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!  They are our future and if we don't back them, well then we are up the creek without a paddle, right?   

My husband is far from dispensable!  He's my best friend too.  He's a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, everything!  We've been married for almost 20 years and I love and need him more today than I did in the beginning.  Men are getting an unfair wrap here...although I completely sympathize with the OP.  That's her situation, though, not every marriage comes down to that.

Like I said before (and my post was deleted for some reason) I am looking forward to growing old with my husband...raising grandchildren...hopefully finally getting to travel.  I do believe the best has yet to come for us!

actions speak louder than words - if he wasn't guilty he would've stuck around..........would have had nothing to run from if he was innocent......and that's another thing - in the case, he was NOT found NOT GUILTY - he was found innocent by a reasonable doubt....(pssst - cause he's still guilty)...LOL

if it looks like a horse, smells like a horse, acts like a horse, it is not a swan! 

RIP Ron and Nicole......

And it was even worse in the days of pay toilets what we had to endure. 

I remember sitting there broken heated.

Paid a dime and only farted.

Definitely don't get tempted on the business trip, and if he wants you he needs to get rid of the other one. 

It is really easy to cheat on a business trip and come home to the wife/steady girlfriend like nothing happened (for some anyway).

A lot of teens are going to have sex before marriage.  My 17-year-old daughter came to me last fall about wanting to go on the pill.  She is in her first serious relationship, so I took her.  I had a pregnancy scare in high school and it was not fun and I was very honest with her about that. 

My daughter is not getting the vaccine because it is too new and I don't think anyone knows the long-term problems that could come from it.  Hopefully by the time my daughter is having this discussion with her daughter, it will either have been proven safe or pulled off the market, but my daughter is not going to be a guinea pig.

He's no Judge Judy or Judge Millian (Marilyn) or Judge Mathis or any of them.....he seems to be merely an ATTENTION SEEKER.

Judge (*and I use the term JUDGE loosely here*) Larry Seidlin is a 3-ring-circus unto himself with his one-liners and cliches...remember folks, he is a former cabdriver in Bronx, NY and is exactly what he *sounds* like in the courtroom....chastising the attorneys, calling them/addressing them by state , i.e., *Texas...sit down*....or things to that effect...and yet taking every single momentary opportunity to push his OWN agenda, and what I mean by that is HOGGING THE SPOTLIGHT and CAMERAS!!!  He's nauseating!!! 

So, Irish Mom....GMTA (great minds think alike) !!!
