I would try to get to the bottom of it, what he did, why he did it, and make sure he knows that you know this. I would also let him know what the consequences are for this. For me, I wouldn't be able to trust him again, and I would detach myself from the friendship, even if it's just partway...

I think some people grow crankier as they age because maybe life hasn't turned out as they'd hoped and they are bitter. So minor irritations become major ordeals for them.

We're having steak, too! And baked potatoes and salad, and a grilled shrimp appetizer. Currently, I'm avoiding doing take-home work, my husband is working in the garage-turned-shop, and my kids are lollygagging.

Having moved several times during my childhood, I can tell you that it's much better to finish out the year at the current school than to move with one month to go. Seriously, let this go and be patient with the delay. Seems selfish to me to cause your daughter undue stress, when it's easy to...

Humor. It takes lots and lots of humor to live with teenagers. I have two boys - 17.5 and 15 years old. I have to find ways to have fun with them. Like it annoys the crud out of my youngest when I tell him lame jokes, so I deliberate search for them on pinterest - puns are my favorite - and...

1. I'm waiting on butter to soften so I can make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a pound cake. 2. I'm doing some planning for 2019. 3. I'm listening to my cat chirp because she's in heat. She gets fixed Jan. 2.

The good cop/bad cop scenario only works if the two cops are working towards the same goal. That's not the case here. As the parent of two high schoolers, one of which is a junior and almost 18, I'm in this transition as well of letting my kids take ownership of their education and me doing...

My kids both finished their braces in the last year. They had the normal ones, same as I had a few decades ago. The only other kind I know of is invisiline. Never heard of the other you mentioned. Regarding GoingByzintine's post, I agree with her that a smaller, more personal shop is...

Doing laundry at the moment. About ready to go make bread because my youngest son wants homemade bread. DH told me which recipe he wants me to try from this book he's read, and it seems simple and fast enough, so I'll use that one. Decorated the house earlier today. It was a pretty trick to...

First, my husband and I will work with our sons on schoolwork, because they have make up work to do to raise their grades. Hubs will take on physics and spanish, I will take on lit. We've been working all week on it all. Then we will go to my ILs house for dinner. I am bringing green bean...

" Before getting married or even getting to far into my relationships I made it clear that I wanted another child and we agreed we would both be open do talking about it because he did not see ever wanting anymore children. " The last 9 words of this quote from your post tells me that he told...

We have two sons, ages 17 and 14.

If the telling of the story is going to harm innocent bystanders, then I don't think it should be done. Who wants their 8th grade grandson being told in school, hey, I hear grandpa was a perv? At least get permission from everyone who could be affected by it. It's not just about you and your...

I miss swinging on my grandma's porch, and drinking coffee (with lots of milk and sugar) out of saucer, because it stayed too hot if left in the cup. I don't miss zits, because as a woman of a certain age, I still get one on occasion.

I struggle with this Malachi text. Because on the surface it smacks of support of prosperity gospel and treating God like a vending machine. People can misinterpret it to think God has to do their bidding because they did X, when actually, we are asked to be obedient to him and his will. God...

On the rebaptism thing, in our denomination, it's done on occasion. (Southern Baptist here) Usually for someone who made a profession of faith and was baptized, but then later questioned if the profession was sincere. Baptism isn't in any way tied to your salvation in that you have to be...

Who's to say that your friend is hearing God right? What if what she sees as a calling is actually a distraction from the true calling - the one her husband is pursuing, or something else entirely? Or what if it's all simply Satan's way of destroying that relationship? In any case, I don't see...

Mom of boys here, and I am required to watch all Marvel and DC movies the first week they come out. I like them both. My favorites of the current movies are Wonder Woman and Black Panther, but I've enjoyed them all. I didn't really like the Spiderman movies of a fews years back, but I think...

Your post doesn't read like you're talking about marriage. Many people in this world have life partners without the benefit of marriage, so I understand why people aren't just automatically assuming you're talking about making love after you're married.
