Hello, millenials! I am here to ask a question I am wondering, could you please answer?
I am trying to have a better relationship with my grandson, who quite frankly seems not to want anything to do with me. I want to become educated on the subjects he is interested in so we can be better pals. He is interested these things, known as "Fidget Spinners", "Dank May Mays" and a tragic death of someone named "Harambe". Please could you help me to learn about these subjects? Today's youth could learn a thing or two by socializing with elder generations... But oh well, if they won't come to us I suppose we'll have go to them. Many thanks to all who answer this question!
Gay son's boyfriend, son asked me?
If they are going to do it they will and you can't really stop them. Personally I would rather know where they are and that they are both safe, even if you have to get yourself some earplugs! Joking sorry.. Edit - you sound like I really supportive dad. Well done you
I would like to ask a question I swore to get my son a PC this month but he has been arguing with his sister, should I just not get it?
Whenever I considered either a punishment or a treat for my kids I thought about how I would feel as an adult if my boss treated me like this. That’s the most important thing: treat your kids with the respect you’d want from adults you are sort of beholden to.So if my boss promised me I’d get some new equipment for work and didn’t give it to me I would never trust her again. I would expect that equipment because she told me she would.However, let’s say your son arguing with his sister is sort of comparable to me messing something up at work. And my boss tells me: hey, Andrea, I was going to give you this equipment but you screwed up. So, no, forget it.Nope.But if she said, hey, I know I promised you this equipment, and here you go, but man, I need you to not make those mistakes again. Ok? You’ve done a great job in the past, that’s why I trust you with that equipment. Mess up when I know you can do better, I’ll get someone else to use that equipment.It’d be irritating, but I’d think, yeah, she’s got a point.So that’s how you treat your son. You give him that pc. Here you go. But hey, I know you can do better with your sister. Next time talk to me about it. If you can’t be mature about it, I’ll take that pc. And it’s the same with your sister. She keeps being immature, I’ll treat her the same way.

My 7 year old son asked me if Santa is real or not. Should I tell him the truth?
I can only tell you what I answered when my daughter asked me the same question. (I’m Austrian, here it is the Christkind [baby Jesus] who brings the gifts, but it doesn't make any difference, so I will carry on with SC)I told her:“…that Santa Claus is responsible for the children. That's why adults can't see him, and why some adults think he isn't real. We adults tend to forget how to believe in something, so we always need evidence. The older we become the more we forget. Think of your grandfather! See?The thing is: Santa doesn't want to be seen. I tell you why; What would you do if you saw him standing in the living room? Ask him questions? Startle him? Have a glass of milk with him? As much as he loves all of us- especially the kids- there are so many of them…he doesn't have the time to stay too long in one house! You know how stressed out I am before christmas? That's because I have to get the presents for your mom, for your grandfather, your grandmother and all the other adults of our family! Remember, Santa is responsible for the kids worldwide! Can you imagine how stressed out he must be? So don't worry just because you haven't seen him yet. Be happy, because even though he has so much stress he’d never forget to come by here for you!”EDIT: I was surprised to read that many suggested to tell him the truth. I think being a child of 7 years doesn't necessarily mean to get rid of all dreams and fantasies.
My boss keeps asking me to do his son's homework and it makes me very uncomfortable; what do I do?
It seems like your boss is not being fair to you and perhaps has no idea what you feel. It is very unprofessional of him...however I am not sure why you are putting up with this. I understand that you do not want to lose your job but what if this comes to a senior authority's attention....wont they question you as to why you put up with this? at that point you would seem weak...right? So lets hope it doesnt get to that and I would suggest that you assertively say no to him....you dont have to confront him but you could say something like: I do not feel comfortable doing this as it can affect your son's studies since he would not be able to do well in exams if he doesnt do his homework himself..............or something along those lines. If he still asks you to do that then talk to someone in HR or relative department as this was not in your job description.
Why don't I have any kind of bond with my son?
You need to see a Professional counsellor as soon as possible. I could be wrong but it sounds to me like you had post natal depression after having your oldest, which is not surprising considering everything that happened, and this has stopped you from bonding properly. Perhaps part of it is you withdrew from him when he was really sick to protect yourself. Lots of people are going to give you hell for this question. I am glad that you are at least reaching out for some help. You need to see someone, I can't stress that enough. Your oldest son is being hurt and that is not ok in any way. What is happening right now could damage him forever and it is your job as his mother to protect him. See someone by yourself first and then organise family counselling as well.
If God comes in front of you what will you ask from Him?
“Oh my God! Is that you?“Yes Buddy, It’s me.” God Smiled.“Are you really real. Right now. Exactly in front of me.”“Yes” God nodded.“This is something Impossible” I was surprised.“No, Remember you believe ‘ everything is possible’ - So now why don’t you believe me?” God Asked.“Okay, Do something that will let me believe you.”“ Darshita, It’s 2017 today. And I can’t take you back to 1999. It was the horribal day for me as well and I know you won’t forgive me at all for that.”I said “Obviously I can. I am over it now.Sometimes those horribly things takes one part out of me. But after sometime I’ll be back to my own version. today that year gives me strength, some lifelong lesson, I learnt a lot at my little age and I am thankful for that.”He Replied “ Every one’s destiny is already pre - decided. You are here just to perform the task given to you to the best possible manner. I am here to give you the blessing - What you want my Buddy. Today, I’ll give you anything you’ll ask”“If you are saying I am just playing my role, than there is no need of asking anything. I don’t want to change any plans you have made for me as I believe in you. - All I want is PEACE and HAPPINESS for everyone.”“Tathastu” - ‘Bless you for the same’And I woke up from the amazing Dream.
A guy at work HATES me because im the owner's son, this makes work very difficult. help!!?
My dad owns a successful business here in town. Its a store at a local strip mall and me being his only son he hopes that once i graduate university with my business degree, that i can take over. this is my last year of university, so it will be in the near future. this all seems fine and dandy, however there is an individual at work who hates me because im the owners son. he somehow thinks i have special privileges because my dad is the owner. this is not the case, i clock in and get paid normal wages just like everyone else. I am a good employee, in fact i recently received a letter from corporate commending me on my customer service. i work hard and i enjoy the job, however this one guy makes it very difficult. If i make any mistakes(i am human, so this does happen) he makes a big ordeal out of it. He talks negatively about me behind my back to the other employees. Every chance he has to put me on blast he does. to make matters worse, this guy is in his early 60's and im in my 20's so overall this whole situation is quite childish. But on the other hand, this guy knows how to push my buttons and ruin my day every time i go to work. He has even told me and my dad to our faces that he thinks im getting special treatment and that i should be fired. this isnt the case! aside from my dad and me having the same last name, i am simply an employee, and he is my boss! the problem with this guy at work is that he isnt necessarily a bad employee. he shows up on time everyday, he gets his work done, and hes reliable if someone calls in sick and so on. so we cant fire him, plus hes worked there for a while so he knows the ins and outs of the business. this guy is making work a nightmare! both his availability and mine are similar so we work the same shifts. how can i overcome this? what can i do to make work more pleasant? i cant wait to take over and fire this damn guy! in the meantime i despise waking up and going to work everyday simply because of this one guy.
