My husband and I have been married for 10 years now. We have three children, ages 4 to 8! Every single year it seems as if Christmas gets worse and worse. Since we have been together we have always went to my parents on Christmas Eve, I have asked my parents to come to our house this year, my parents smoke and we don’t so I hate being in all of the smoke and having my kids around it, they agree to come over around 5 and stay to about 7. Well now my FIN decides that he wants to do something on Christmas Eve at 6. He has invited his mother, sister, aunt, uncle, etc over at the same time, yet he just told us of the plans tonight! We also have my MIL (his parents are divorced) and they want us to come over on Christmas night or Christmas Eve! I want to be home on Christmas Day, Everyone wants to do something on Christmas Eve, but at the same time! What do I do?They don’t all want to come to my house at the same time, so that is not an option. The problem is that his parents change it every single year, my parents always do it the same, they have since I was a baby! Please HELP

It seems to me that the reason there are so many fatherless homes is because nobody is educating people on the benefits of marriage and family relationships, how to build them and how to keep them. How long do we have to tolerate the nonsense going on of single parent homes and fatherless children? Where are the schools when it comes to educating our children on the importance of family? Why should we sit back and let the States get rich on our inability to get along and instead look forward to marriage as people did only decades ago? Do we never learn from our mistakes? Are we not looking at the statistics?
I know, it’s a lot of questions but it’s something that needs to be addressed in every state and every city. Especially where poverty runs wild. I can’t believe how cold hearted our nation has gotten since I was a child. How uncaring. How disrespectful to other human beings. It’s overwhelming to think about it. But something has to be done.

I have only known him for 5 months but I feel like I’ve known him my whole life.. We used to spend almost every night together and see each other as much as we could in the day.. One night he went out with his friend, I wasn’t there, and the two of them got into a bar fight with a group of 10 young adults.. my boyfriend’s friend was knocked unconscious and is in critical condition a month later.. so my man was left to defend himself against 4-5 men.. he pulled out a knife and stabbed a few of them to get them off him and his friend.. he saved his friends life! he was scared and left the scene but turned himself in after the holidays. he has a daughter and is a single parent. he is such a good father.. his baby is so smart and healthy and loves him dearly. he treats me like a queen. it was just a bar fight and stupid decisions were made.. but he does not deserve to be in jail. he is a good person. does anyone know how i can write a letter to the judge? i have no idea where to begin.. I don’t have any experience with dealing with jail and inmates and judges and hearings.. but i love him and i want him back..
Do blacks in this country typically play the "race card" more so than other minorities? It seems like its always the "white mans" fault for 90% of the problems facing the black community. Its hypercritical to put all the crime and murder rates on the white mans treatment of blacks. Other minorities are statistically far less of a problem than the black community (crime, uneducated, single parents) But why? and please dont use the argument that there are more blacks than the other minorities i am talking about comparable statistics.
