Paying for Wedding Expenses

My husband and I pay a lot of their living expenses every month and keep the children so he can work. He is engaged to a 27 year old and this is her first wedding.

Advice on Texting

Hello All!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this. My boyfriend has a 15 year old son who is only with us every other weekend. We currently provide his phone for him. In the last month he has racked up 9,000+ texts. Most of them occuring after midnight. He does have an odd sleep schedule, which I'm guessing is normal for summer time. I have a problem with the fact that he has that many texts. Not to mention, after we talked to him about this, he sent & received 1,000 texts in a week. Is this normal for a teenager? ...

Gift-giving to Older Nephews and Niece

Hi, moms. Wondering if any of you have some suggestions on how to handle this. I have two siblings. My sister has twin 7-yr-old stepsons. My brother has two sons, 18 and 21, and one daughter, 15. About five years ago, we stopped exchanging gifts among the adults and agreed to give gifts only to each other's kids. I'm not very close with my brother or his family -- we've always lived at a distance (13 hours away) and I see them once or twice a year. Same with my sister. My dilemma is this, at what age is it appropriate to stop giving...

College Tuition: Whose Responsibility Is It?

I have thoughts on pros and cons of both sides to this, but I'm very curious as to what your thoughts are. * Provided college is the right choice for your child, the time is right and they truly would make the most of the experience*.... 1.

This isn't an all or nothing issue for sure, so I'm looking forward to a variety of responses to consider...
