here is the cycle: poor. get an education. get some money. realize money doesnt buy access on its face. try figure out how to fit in by asking about "old money". start to adopt old money habits. become established. kids are born into it. grandkids spend it. poor. repeat.

Not a Scarsdale mom, but grew up there, parents on school board and many village committees, and I'm stunned that the budget was defeated. The schools are at the core of the property values and the whole reason to live there, as far as I'm concerned, but then again, I chose to live in NYC and send DC to public here, rather than move back.

I am not certain why this happened. The Board pressed forward with a "Wellness Center" and a bunch of other things that acted a lightning rod for people that wanted fiscal resonsiblity.

Neither on its face if a mature adult is selling services. But if there is poverty, pressure, underage issues or whatnot it's a different story.

How often does this occur outside of poverty issues? Especially when it comes to prostitution, I would bet most are related to age and poverty. Surrogate parenting involves a wider range of candidates. Not always a money thing.

I think prostitution is more commonly damaging to one's psyche. There are plenty of surrogate mother arrangements that are quite supportive.

Just sit on the edge and gently scootch back until the tush fits. Helps to say excuse me. In most cases, it's not the tush that's the problem, its the boys that need to open their legs wide. Can their thing really be that big??!!

We had a list of "must have" characterisitcs - we would not consider an apartment that didn't have certain things - then we had a list of "would be nice" characteristics. Depending on your budget, obviously the first list can be longer or shorter. It was our first apartment purchase and we didn't have tons of money so we tried to be very realistic and keep that first list short. However, we always saw this as a first apartment. If we had been buying an apartment for the rest of our lives, it would have been different.

I guess this is a logical extension of helicopter parenting but no, you shouldn't say anything to her. MYOB. She is an adult now and a young one at that. You don't know whether or even if she wants to have kids. You don't get to decide that for her.

Best one I've ever attended was in London. Held by a Brit for an American. Food and buck's fizz (for guests--mom passed), gifts and chat and more buck's fizz. Home. Don't measure the mom with tp or guess which kinds of candy bars are melted to look like shit in a diaper (I was once at a shower where the chemicals in the diaper made it catch fire in the microwave--lol!).

Eh some games are cute (or at least harmless). That said, UB is not the place for this (they are anti-cute and anti-tacky, and baby showers are going to be a bit tacky). For favors, I have done blue flowers to decorate and everyone can take a flower home, or blue cake pops.

Really? If there's going to be one single game, like a 5 minute celebrity baby-daddy match game? I think they're silly, but certainly not offensive, and some people like the games. So why not accommodate them, and give a conversation starter to people who otherwise may not know each other?

They use their phones. Also, this has been going on for a long time, even pre technology. A boy I knew in the 80s in middle school killed himself over it. He was so picked on that he had permission to leave every class 3 minutes early so he could safely get to his next class without being beaten and threatened in the halls. There was a gang of kids out to "get him" because they had been disciplined for beating him up.

I know this is going to be unpopular but I don't believe cyber bullying is the sole cause. Plenty of children are bullied and do not committ suicide. There have to be underlying mental problems. Having said that - maybe people will think twice now about the trend to give young children access to computers/ phones etc with little restrictions. It's an open invitation for this kind if thing

But you have to remember that bullying nowadays is much different than it was when we were kids. Rumors and nasty comments can be spread to pretty much an entire student body in seconds. And schools really have no control over what goes on off campus.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to do that. Kids have been disciplined for abusive online behavior at our school. I'm sure you're right, though, that a big donor's kid wouldn't be kicked out unless the behavior was so rotten it made the 11 o'clock news.

Why would you not wake him? What does he do? Is it not a big deal if he is late or a no show or will he be fired? I know you are pissed but think this all the way through.

Look for books with plenty of graphics. Reluctant readers tend to favor them. Don't know of any specific titles, though.

This sounds lame but I liked the love languages book (website actually) and just disregarded the more cheesy and overly Christian parts. I also found a few sessions of individual therapy to help me talk about things constructively with dh

Love the Love Languages book took. Have him take the quiz and find out his love language. Do everything you can to please him. Once he starts becoming happier again, then you can fill him in on your needs.

Gangnam is an upscale neighborhood in Seoul. The Korean lyrics are sort of silly, about how cool the singer is. Maybe people just liked the funny horse dance.

Yeah, it's mostly popular for the dance...specifically him doing the dance in funny places. Isn't that obvious? And the lyrics are clearly meant as sarcasm.

Yeah, it's sort of like that. It also gained fame first in a non-American market, so the style is bound to be different.

Psy parodying something and it's really funny. We "get" the parody even though we don't really know the idea of the Gangnam subject
