First Home - List of Bills

I'm trying to put together a list of all of the monthly bills my boyfriend and I will have once we move into our house, but I would like to know if I am missing anything.

Strange Question, but - Is Anyone in the Funeral Services Career?

Hi moms, I'm trying to find my passion and career direction, and for some reason, I'm being drawn in this direction. I'm still in the research stage, but the few people I've talked to about it have responded with "I could totally see that". I am attracted to the compassion part, the counseling part, the "event planning" part of making a family's transition comforting and special. I am looking into the science and anatomical part to see if I can "take" it. I'm not afraid of blood, and deal well with CSI/forensic shows - I actually find...

Should My Teenager Date This Boy?

I need some advice about my teenager. Her name is Angela, and she's 17. She really likes this boy Andy, but her father says that she's too young to date him. The only things is....he's super sweet and she totally crazy about him. He's very courteous and a gentleman, but he's 22. Is this too old? Should I allow her to carry this relationship on in private, without her father knowledge. I have 5 other beautiful children and we're just now heading into the dating years. What should I do?

Visitation and Clothing

Do you provide all of the clothing for your child when they go to visit dad? I have in the past, but recently stopped due to things not returning, or them not even being used, etc. Her dad says it is my responsibility to do this since he pays child support. They have made her wear the same outfit 10 days in a row and then again 4 days this past weekend. My daughter said she tried to put on some clothes from her drawer there (stuff that had not been returned from before) and step-mom would not let her. She said "You need to wear the...
