  • My ex threatened to files charges against me with my human resources department?

    Singles & Dating - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I dated her for 8 months and I broke the relationship up several months ago. She was fine with it and never came after me and didn't make a big deal at all at work. (We work in the same company, but in diff building, so we dont work together). I tried to be friends and would show up to say hi every so often. I'd ask her for lunch, but she declined. She never really reciprocated and once I asked for lunch again...she finally said no and asked for me to stop. She told me she had found emails that I had sent to my ex during the relationsh (true) and had no interest in pursuing any kind of relationship with me. She threatened to go to the human resources department if I insisted. I think i made the situation worse by trying to be nice. Am I missing something?

  • My Mother Is Quite Overbearing And Is A Very Negative Person?

    Family - 10 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I am 26 years old and I have recently moved back with my mother. I am not allowed to go out and socialise with my friends e.g go clubbing, to dinner or to movies after 9pm because my mum is scared that I would get murdered or someone would rape me.My mum also told me that friends who ask you to go socialising with them means that they are a bad influence. That means I wont be going to the two christmas parties I have been invited to. My mum also thinks that if I went on vacations with friends or my boyfriend, they are going to get up trouble like plant drugs in my suitcase. If I tell my mum I am grown up and can take responsiblity, she would say 'If you think like that, then you are going to get yourself into a lot of trouble, social norms are rubbish'. My mum feels that if you dont go out at night or socialise with friends it means you are a very sensible and mature person. I have three brothers and they are allowed to do whatever they like. I am in a process of looking for a job and when I have setlled down, I would save up for a place and move out. But my mum would want me to save and buy a flat, it would take me up to 2.5 years to save up. I can't do that because I am in debt of £7,000. I got a CCJ for getting into £2,000 and I would be focusing on that as soon as I get a job. I have every right to get myself a flat. My mum is 65 years old and thinks she is right all the time. When I tell her she is wrong, she would fight with me. Tony you are chatting crap

    my father died. I am his only kid Im 27. my grandmother took a life insurance policy out on my father. I was never told the details. The arrangements was no funeral parlor 2 days after he died we went to the family church and had mass then went straight to the cemetery. I am unsure of how to find out if I was lied to. or if my grandmother was the one to end up with what ever the life insurance paid off. I have heard that she may have been the primary beneficiary as long as she survived his dying. and I would then be the secondary, only being beneficiary if my grandmother was deceased when he died. can someone put this in perspective for me please?

The Moving Day Blues

We’ll be moving this summer. How can I make the move as easy on our kids as possible?

By Ann Douglas

Once it’s official—the family is moving—share the big news right away. That way, your kids can start getting used to the idea of the move sooner rather than later.

As moving day approaches, try to get a sense of how each of your kids is feeling about the move—excited, worried, or sad. Then help your kids to come up with practical solutions for dealing with the issues of greatest concern. For example, if one of your children is worried about losing touch with her friends, she could spend some time collecting their mailing addresses and email addresses and entering them into her address book.

Look for ways to address any specific fears your child may have related to the move. For example, “How will I find the washroom at my new school?” or “What if no one wants to be my friend?” A pre-moving day tour of the school combined with the chance to meet some of her future classmates may help to reassure your child that switching schools won’t be quite as horrible as she may be imagining.

Your child may find it comforting to savour connections with her old friends while she’s waiting for new friendships to bloom. Preteens and teens may wish to connect via instant messaging and email. Younger kids may enjoy writing letters, flipping through photo albums from the old neighbourhood, and picking up the phone to chat to the friend that they’re missing.
