I just want to make it clear staying home with my kids, daycare & everything is how *I* feel. I never once said anyone who works or goes to school is a terrible parent. I may or may not chose to...

From what I can tell most people drive an hour to go to the much better, regionally accredited college. Which is why they have 200+ applicants. The one in my town takes anyone who can pass the TEAS...

Thank you. Yes. I asked before & I really didn't understand why they said no. I also have gotten different answers from them before about other things. And they also fire their director &...

So I finally had to block someone. I've never had to do that. Usually I get into a spat with someone, it might get heated but it ends. I never thought I would have to block someone. But this was just...

Thank you SO much! Well he has over 50 hours (so far) for his long paycheck (pay period goes Thursday-Sunday) as his crew was the only crew at the yard. I am always looking in the paper for different...

No we did not get divorced, we reconciled. I guess I feel guilty because my husband is gone for so long & I don't want to be gone too. I don't want my son to feel like his parents are absent from...

Because those are the only jobs? I said I would move my family hours away. Relocate my family. If I have to drive many hours & it affects my health then obviously I shouldn't take the job. I've...

Thank you. My son really does mean a lot to me. When I was really young, both my parents worked a lot, made over 6 figures. But when I told my mom I wanted to spend more time with her she decided then...

Well this is where I'm at in my life, I'm not embarrassed. That's what parents are for. If my son needed help when he's older, I'd be there for him. I didn't mention any health concerns in my first...
Well on a large scale, yes they are both biology based. But overall, not really. As long as you take biology before A&P & micro it doesn't matter if you take A&P or micro

Yes I have epilepsy & it hasn't been easy but so far I've been able to raise my son just fine. I might not have been able to have a normal pregnancy & put on bed rest a lot (which is why I...

Virginia & Texas are two very different southern areas. I know a bunch of people who live at home in an extended family household. It's very common in the Hispanic culture. We obviously have two...

Well I can't work nights, I have epilepsy. Last time I did that I ended up in the ER. Honestly, my situation isn't as easy as it seems. Our families play a big role in our lives. I'm not about to...

I never said it won't happen EVER. I just said it doesn't seem like a possibility now. So if your job wasn't doing well now, you should quit? I've been taught not to be a quitter. Just because it's...

I have to add, it's tough since my husband works in the oil field. I have wanted to go back to work but who will take care of my son if I do? I am, in essence, a single parent. If I go back to work I...

It's because his company took away the guaranteed 40 hours & there are only 12 rigs to work for. He doesn't make that much per hour. Everyone assumes everyone in the oil field makes big money,...

Lol. If you knew me, I have matured a lot. I just want to do what is best for my family. I am the financial advisor for my family. I try to save when we can. We cut out any frivolous expenses but we...
