[ - ] Repost: i posted yesterday morning about dh slapping me across face and possibly breaking my nose. First time this ever happened. I put him out. He's been crying, apologizing, telling me he will do anything to save marriage. He's a functional alcoholic. Should I tell him we need counseling? Should I just separate until he gets better? Don't know what to do. 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

[ - ] Moms with part-time sitters.... How did you find them? I need a sitter for 8-10 hrs per week. We usually hire college or grad students. I do work around their schedule. Do you find college sitters a little flaky? We're in the interview process again. We weed through all the applications and what not. But some of these girls just don't show-up for the interview or call out a lot when we do hire them. I know it's just a babysitting job to them. But are you finding the younger generations work ethic to be so much worse? Some of these girls come to the interview with their LV bags and tori burch shoes, haha! 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

[ - ] Last night I had a 4th date with a guy. He lives a few blocks away, so when we have gone out he texts me when he is nearby and I meet him downstairs. Last night he texted and said "On my way. I will come up." I responded that I would meet him downstairs, to which he responded "I wanted to come up. Reservation is not for awhile." I held my ground and met him downstairs, and he acted very annoyed/pouty that I would not let him come up. If he had said something earlier like "hey our reservation is at 7:00 but do you want to hang out at your place beforehand for a bit?" I would have been OK with it - but I did not like his presumption or his annoyance when I said no. Am I overreacting here? 23 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

He probably should have phrased it differently, like asking you instead of telling you, but do you like this guy? If so, why be so difficult/weird about him coming up?

Your husband, or another affair? This is very confusing. But if it's not a work husband. Those are, by definition, men you work with and have a daily/ domestic type routine, not guys you meet for flirty lunches. [ Reply | More

There's no necessary interaction, no sharing of drudgery. That's what makes a work spouse, as opposed to, in your case, a potential affair. Work spouse, by definition, is someone you work with. Not someone you go out of your way to meet up with, as you do with this guy. And though there's no physicality (yet), there is clearly flirtation -- he wants to sleep with you. [ Reply | More

Agree with this, and thought of that article when I was reading the popular post of well behaved children. It's about self control and discipline. Too easy to blame the nature of the kid and become a lazy parent. [ Reply | More

most of the time, yes. i agree. when you dont teach your kids to self regulate, eventually, drugs are the way. that being said, this isnt true in 100% of cases, and the author's tone of blame takes away her credibility. [ Reply | More

I didn't read the article but French children are raised much differently. The standards for behavior are different. I speak from experience having spent time in France as a child an an adult. I am not sure which is better but the French do have different standards. [ Reply | More

while i agree with much of the article, i cannot help feeling that author does not have children of her own. the tone is smug and lacks nuance. it attaches blame. and I'm the parent of two kids that runs an extremely structured home and has two well behaved, disciplined kids. that author was tiresome.

Both of these are traditional curricula. If both of them are similarly academically oriented, I think it makes more sense to decide which school fits better with your family's values and lifestyle. Which is the most convenient to your home? Does one have a particularly friendly/welcoming atmosphere? Or perhaps one seems a bit cultish, and you'd prefer a school that doesn't become the center of your life? In general, what is taught is less important than how it is taught. [ Reply | More

Seems you're either comfortable with catholic or not. If you are comfortable, and that school is good but significantly cheaper than the private, I'd go with that. But we're not rich. [ Reply | More

You don't sound like you are Catholic. Are you comfortable having your child spend so much time on a religion you don't believe in? It is usually woven into the curriculum, especially in grade school. Every Holiday, almost every school performance will be religious. [ Reply | More

How hard is it to be on time? Sure, everyone is late occasionally, and sometimes things are out of your control (traffic, stuck at work, etc). But to be habitually late shows laziness and a lack of respect for other people's time. If you know you have a tendency to be late, make sure you leave 15 minutes early or whatever. [ Reply | More

I have a friend who is ALWAYS late, and it drives me crazy because she always leaves people waiting. For example, if we have dinner reservations at 8pm, she invariably shows up at 8:30. Inconsiderate when you have a group who can't be seated until the whole party is there. [ Reply | More
