As the holiday time approaches,I wanted to know if there is anyone out there who would like to help out a family in need? I am a recently widowed single parent of 3 young girls. I am in dire need financially and about to lose our home> I know that the holidays are not meant to be about materialistic things but I just want to give my girls a nice Christmas after recently losing their father in a car accident, they could use something to make them smile. If anyone could help us out please e-mail me at emmiegsmom@yahoo.com Thank you to anyone out there who has it in their heart to help out some children this holiday season.

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..

We went on holiday for a week and my son (19 mos) had his routine totally messed up. I’m not strict with it, he generally goes to bed at 7pm but it can be anything as late as 8.30pm occasionally. But on holiday it went to after midnight, he just wouldn’t sleep any earlier and I relaxed a bit as I wanted him to enjoy himself too and didn’t want to leave him crying in an unfamiliar room. But now I really do need to get him back to something like he was before – I work in the evenings (studying a degree from home, and some evenings I do bar work), and I can’t lose my degree or my job for my son’s sake, so I might have to be cruel to be kind. Last night I had work and I ended up having to let him cry himself to sleep with me listening through the monitor as I was an hour and a half late and would have lost my job if I’d been much later as they were understaffed. I felt awful but he was ok. (By the way I’m a single parent so nobody to share the workload – my dad is here with him when I go to work but only on the condition that he’s asleep and he doesn’t need to do anything). He fell asleep much quicker than I thought he would. Now, one side of me is telling me I should do that every night until he’s back to normal, because if I keep him up as late as he wants to be I’m just going to get nowhere and the quicker I nip it in the bud the easier it’ll be for him. But I feel dreadful. Does anybody have any advice? How did you solve the problem after holidays?
And please don’t give me the whole "You should care more about your child than getting personal time" crap. I do. Just understand that if I lose my degree, I can’t give my son a good future, and if I lose my job, I can’t support him right now.
My daughter is getting married in December of 2006. She announced the wedding 12/05 Her fiancees parents told my daughter they were going to pay for everything. When she asked them again in June they still confirmed that they were going to pay for everything.
Now my daughter asks about wedding invitations and reception information and the mother of the groom says that unfortunately they can not pay for anything because they have to remodel their kitchen for Thanksgiving. (The only reason they are remodeling their kitchen is because their older son’s in-laws are coming over for Thanksgiving Dinner and they are financially secure, a.k.a. "well-off)
So, I have not saved any money for the wedding, since I thought they would pay for it and a lot of holidays are around the corner.
So, should I, the bride’s mother (single parent, single income) pay for a wedding that is a couple of months away or should the groom "Man-up" and tell his parent’s to help pay?
