My parents are still not supportive of my pregnancy!?
I am currently 22 and have been married for 9 months and I am 18 weeks pregnant. My husband and I are stoked and can't wait for the arrival of our baby. This is the first grand baby on both sides. It seems like my parents are embarassed of me because they don't invite me and my husband over and my parents best friends and even family still don't know that I am pregnant! They didn't even invite me over for Easter or my dad's birthday even tho my family was there. 'I had my brother call me and say "Why aren't you at dad's birthday, mom told me your were "Sick" I got a call last week from my Mom's friend from there country club asking me If was available to baby sit during the summer and the fall. I told her 'I am having a baby this fall so I won't be able to" her response was "Wow your mother never mentioned it" When My cousin was pregnant my mother told everyone! "I am going to be Auntie again, she would even tell people in the supermarket line...But she keeps her OWN daughters pregnancy hidden! I am so saddened by it. I graduated college, got married, bought a house and live on my own. I don't see why my mom is acting this way. My dad said "We had bigger plans for you, at 22 your just too young to be having a child, you have your whole life ahead of you" We didn't become parents till we were in our 40s. "We were married for a long time, traveled and when we adopted you, we were financially ready" I feel all alone. Advice.

Which of the following written sentences is right: “I am awaiting your response” or “I am waiting for your response”?
Which of the following written sentences is right: “I am awaiting your response” or “I am waiting for your response”?Both sentences are grammatically correct, although by using the present continuous tense you might make the recipient feel as if you are “breathing down his neck.” A better way to say it is “I await your response [or reply].”
Is it correct to use the following sentence, “We will keep you updated once we receive an update from team.”?
It's not. It's kind of awkward -in form, and in appearance. And not very pleasing to the ear, either. The repetition of a word (update here) is identified as a language disorder, which better be avoided.‘We will keep you posted on any further update from the team’.We will keep you posted on updates/developments as they come in.We'll keep you in the loop about any update/ word from the team.We'll keep you updated on the latest developments/latest news from the team, if any.We'll keep you posted if there's any more update from the team.We'll keep you posted on additional developments, if any.We'll keep you posted if we hear of any interesting news from the team.We'll fill you in/ clue you in, if we receive any news from the team.We'll keep you updated on the latest news from the team.
Is "thank you for letting me know" correct? Why or why not?
'Thank you for letting me know' is perfectly fine to use in conversations and to me, its grammatically correct as well. At least from the perspective of evolutionary grammar.Although, the most appropriate way is 'Thank you for letting me to know' but hidden 'to' is just fine.
Is my boyfriend lazy or do I expect too much?
"He is very nice, doesn't drink, and I know he would never hit me. He will listen to me tell a story 1,000 times without getting mad, in fact, it's hard to get him mad at all. He loves my dogs and takes good care of them (taking them potty, giving cuddles, and feeding them)." He's in extended childhood. All his needs are being met without his having to lift a finger. Even taking care of the dogs is like he's playing with dolls. "Lazy" doesn't even begin to describe him! Thirty is not anywhere "over the hill" or "too late to change", but you'd better get off dead center and make the change yourself. You know what you have to do ...
If my friend says that she will always support me but her activities are not supporting her sentence, how should I react?
Stop having expectations from people and you will be lot more happy. Try not to be dependant on anyone for support. Be your own support.Also stop judging people . She may have said that she will support you but that does’nt mean she agrees to whatever you do and will give you support in everything. Or it could be that she is going through something else in her life so may be is not able to provide you support. And lastly follow people’s actions and not just their words. If its the same everytime you could talk to the friend first and then decide if you want their support.
Is it correct to say, "your understanding and patience is greatly appreciated"?
As a general rule, use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by and.Example: A smartphone and an Internet connection are all I need.The exceptions to the rule are terms that include the word and and are considered a single noun, such as breaking and entering, bed and breakfast, rack and pinion, etc.It is not always easy to determine if a combinations of nouns connected by and is to be considered as a single noun. For example: Cookies and cream are not included in my shopping list, but cookies and cream is my favorite ice cream flavor.Patience and understanding (or understanding and patience) are commonly used together, so they have come to be treated as a single noun in some contexts:We thank you for your patience and understanding.Your patience and understanding is appreciated.But,The strongest qualities of a teacher are patience and understanding.Answering your question: Yes, Your understanding and patience is greatly appreciated is correct. If two words connected with and may be considered as a single noun, use the singular form of the verb. Otherwise, use the plural form of the verb.
Which is the better phrase to use: "I look forward to hearing from you", or "I'm looking forward to hearing from you"?
Hi Ilona,Good question. In English, we talk about formal and informal language, depending on whom you are writing to. Formal = job application/government official/etc. They would get the “I look forward to hearing from you.”Informal = friend/relative/family. They would get the “I’m looking forward to hearing from you.” Hope this helps, Paul
