Today I threw away junk mail for my oldest dd...for a pre-approved credit card. :box: Yes she's technically an adult (barely turned 18) but she still lives at home and is having a tough time financially. We've talked about the evils of unneeded credit cards and saving for things rather than...

My mom called me today and I probably have not talk to her in a few weeks. My dad had a mini stroke(months ago) but they sure as heck wanted to hide that from us kids! I asked a ton of questions!! I told my mom on the phone today that I needed to know what meds and cholesterol and blood...

I just witnessed a dad driving his kids around the city with his kids in a car...a 6 year old girl in the front seat without a carseat and a 4 year old boy in the backseat without a carseat. (Ages are approx.) Even with a carseat, the front isn't the right place to put a child! I followed...

Today we'll be moving my inlaws out of their home that they have lived in since the 60's and into a retirement community. This all on top of Dad having major heart surgery a couple months ago. It's really overwhelming at times. My inlaws have always been frugal to the max, sometimes overly so...

By young, I mean 1-5yrs. of age. What do you think? I feel sorry for this kid because she going to realize when she's older that he's not her real dad but calls him dad or daddy. She's 3 and her bio father hasn't been a part of her life since she was a few months old. Or, if this person's...
