My DS12 and DS7 have been eating us out of house and home (literally!) in the last few weeks. DH has experienced an increase in his appetite since we've moved. He's lost a few pant sizes. Every time we eat dinner, he's always eating a bowl of cereal about 30 minutes later. I ask him if I'm...

We have just read the Dave Ramsey books and are looking forward to start working his plan. We don't have much debt - two cars is essentially it right now. We do own a rental house, but the rent pays the mortgage, so we're putting that at the back of the list for now. Our house is on the...

My ds seems to think it is unfair that my dd doesn't have as much school work as him. He is in 4th grade and she is in 1st. She is very diligent and he is a dawdler. She sits right down and plows through her work immediately, he whines and complains and gets up and down repeatedly. I have...

I would like to know how others handle disagreements or misunderstandings with their husbands? I have a very mild temperment and cannot stand upsets. Sometimes it seems I don't know how to handle upsets. I try my best to understand why the upset and then try to talk it out. If it is a larger...

My girls have been really bad about excluding their brother lately. There are very few kids in the neighborhood so he really has no one else to play with and it really hurts his feelings. It drives me crazy because I have never taught them to treat people this way. How do I handle this? Should...
