• (3 votes) How do I get my 13 month old daughter in pageants?
  

  [quote spiratec9]The real cause of this ladies interest in pageants is economics.
  She really is living in poverty. Many children around the world
  are required by their parents to work . This is because of economics.
  They are poor.We interpret her situation as unacceptable because
  she is exploiting her child for money. We have failed her, however,
  as a society to provide her with meaningful income. She lives in
  the richest country in the world. Not Bangladesh. Therefore it is partly
  a disgrace on all of us collectively. No one in United States should have to
  look towards a 13 month old baby as a source of income. It’s appalling.
  I believe this woman is simply trying in her own simple way to better her life.[/quote]
  
  I hate people who shift blame to others. Whose fault is it? It’s hers. No ifs, ands, or buts. So circumstances have her down, don’t blame others for her actions. Her actions are hers.
  
  My parents started their marriage out with $0.97 and no place to live and they worked hard their entire lives to get where they are today. Many immigrants come to the US each year with nothing and somehow they make it.
  
  
  There are no free rides in life.

  If you’ve never played before and you have to break in a new pair, I’d suggest coating the inside of your skates with thin layer of petroleum jelly, it softens them up. It’s always worked for me and I’ve bought about 8 or 9 pairs of skates.
  
  PS: If you have a choice between skates made in Canada or some Asian country, go for the Canadian ones. Bad experiences with Asian made skates.

  Geez, this reminds of myself when I was your age.
  
  I couldn’t do anything either. I had a saxophone for a little over 3 years and the only thing I learned was a decent “Twinkle, Twinkle little star” and a bad “Mexican Hat Song”. I played hockey for 12 years, and the only thing I could do is stop without falling. I took years of french classes and all I remember is to say I don’t understand french, in french.
  
  I hated myself too(still do really, but not as much), because everyone else did. I drove away all of my childhood friends and alienated my family. The only thing is I never got hooked on pot/booze, instead I got hooked on caffeine(not in the cute way, that everyone jokes about). Trust me, it’s only going to get lonelier if you stay on the same path.
  
  I know this sounds like I’m preaching to you, but you’re too humorous(from your posts) and too young to just give up and waste away on booze/pot. I understand that you feel like you’re life isn’t worth much, but you are worth it. It took me six years to realize that I was worth something.
  
  The only thing I hate about you is that you’re a habs fan.

• (1 vote) What do I do when God isn’t answering my prayers?
  

  You can’t count on god for anything. If you want something in life, you have to get it yourself.

• (1 vote) Sibling help!
  

  My own life, I’ve got both brothers and sisters, when the chips are down they are the ones I count on. If you always run to Mom and Dad when you’ve got a problem with them, then what happens when you get too old for that to mean anything?
  
  You have to learn to sort out problems with your brother, even if he is looking at inappropiate material; turn off the computer when he is looking at it.

• is it ok for a husband to get mad when another man violates his wifes boundaries?
  

  what do you mean by violate? As in touch his wife inappropriately? If so, I think it would be okay for the husband to get mad at the guy.
