Putting a large flower pot at the end of the driveway would work, and it looks much better than an ugly bright orange cone!

Okay all of you seriously? Half of you have no support to this situation and the other half is saying let him drink, ignore it and a tinnnny other half is saying seriously deal with it. I can tell you one thing right now that it takes “TWO” people to have a baby, not just one. Just because your carrying a child does not make “YOU” the only one needing to change. YES he does have to change because he did this with you, and to be frank its his seed that got you in this mess in the first place! He wants to continue to drink then this means he does not care about you, or the child. You and this child come first above ALL things in your relationship. Men are mostly providers in any relationship, but they also have a duty to respond to and respect. If he is not willing to stop drinking for you, then Im sorry but he is not worth it at all. Tell him to go talk to a profressional, and believe me they will tell him to clean up his act. I dont care who you are, what you are. You as a mother need to be treated with all respect, understanding annnnnd he needs to start doing his part as a dad! If any guy ever tells you no sorry “Drinking makes me feel good. Drinking is nice to have. I like the taste thats why I drink. Well the guys are going out so I am too.” These are all things men will say and use against you. Its called guilt on their part, but they will always put something inbetween their wanting to drink instead of themselves. You do not deserve a man who is not willing to stop too. You have a HUGE job being a mom, and if he can not take responsibility for being a dad and stop too…. Then im sorry hunnie but the cards are already dealt to you and it proves and shows you the true side of him. He needs a professional, or a family, maybe a friend to get through to him if he wont listen to you, or to your feelings. Its a “TWO WAY STREET” not a one way street, you dont deserve to do this on your own. Best of luck!!!!!!!!!

You said it, Cadillac Girl!

Mike, if you only knew… finances? promotions? the pain of “having to live with an unpredictable, upset person”? Holy cow. Poor, poor you. If that’s how men suffer through a pregnancy, than you deserve a sticker… a gold star.
How do women suffer? They give up themselves. Every part of themselves. Forget the career launch. Say goodbye to your body as it was (and it will never be the same again after you push a watermelon out of something the size of a grape…). Say goodbye to your freedom.
Men just don’t get it. You’re selfish by nature, and your “logical man-brain” will never ever wrap around the concept.

Comment on I’m scared to take this job because I’m afraid of being intimidated. by e

Take the job & bear in mind that many of the skills you may use to cope with ‘being a slow learner’ will be perceived by others as positive personality traits e.g. being conscientious, being detail oriented, a good note-taker etc. Furthermore, many of the job functions a receptionist performs are fairly repetitive once you get the hang of them – so even if you are not a quick study on multiline phone systems, it will not be an issue for long If your primary concern is the relationship with your friend/mentor, she should understand if it turns out to be ‘not a very good fit’ and would likely help you move on, if it comes to that, with a good recommendation and a resume line that you didn’t have before taking the position. I have to agree with the previous post to some extent, but at the same time it seems to me that your question is not whether you should take the job but rather a request for some advice on handling yourself in an intimidating environment. As far as that goes, I often have to remind myself that what others think of me is none of my business. Take the job. Do the job. Cash the check. Buy your groceries. Try not to fret about it.

The comment left above is utterly ridiculous. Obviously it is coming from a irresponsible parent. Did you read the comment about her drinking liquor during pregnancy. I believe cutting down on the liquor is reasonable maybe to 1-2 drinks per week. Or even a drink per day as long as he is not getting intoxicated. He probably is nervous and one drink can calm his nerves. Now as far a partying is concerned,yes, he should cease that completely. Being pregnant is not an easy thing to do especially in the beginning, you at home sick, depressed, and alone only adds to the hormonal depression that comes with pregnancy you need a coach to be at your side. While he is out drinking it up as if he has no responsibilities. This is a joint venture and both parties need to invest and sacrifice equally. Once the baby is born is he willing to stay home nine months while you catch up on your partying and drinking, NO. Know if he wants to invite the boys over or plan an outting that includes you then you both can feel involved, active, and happy. I knew of a girl who guy left her alone a lot while pregnant, and he came home to 2 dead bodies, unfortunately she choked to death. You are vulnerable when pregnant and you should be treated as such. It shows the dedication and discipline that he is capable of, he wanted this so he should experience it with you not watch you experience it alone.

Comment on How do I get my wife to pay attention to me? by Anonymous

Same Boat here, I have a contracting business, my wife works part time. I wake the kids, make lunches, help with grocery shopping meals, home repair and maint., art in spare time, she pays more attention to our dog than me. We are a blended family so that has been an additional stress… things have been this way for the last 5 or 6 years I guess, intimacy is fantastic but I initiate 100% of the time. I would be happy with a garden variety “hello” when she gets home. The only patterns we can change are our own, but I continue to “hope” we will become closer….

I just read I Hate His/Her Ex by Alex Cooper. You can get it on Amazon or other bookstores. It helped me to deal with so many issues that I had with my fiance’s ex – who I really hated!! Now, my relationship is perfect xxx
