| If your parents are not your guardians, then you should have the right to get your social security in your own name, deposited to an account that you control. Negotiate with your parents for how much of it to pay them for room and board, and the rest should be yours to control. It probably won't be ... |

I understand you are frustrated, especially since she seems to have a history of taking your stuff, but you really need to find another way to get your point across an... |

| My suggestion is to, best you can, tune into your child and try to see the world from their eyes. Then mold the world to their needs as much as practical. You've probably absorbed a lot of general information over the years, and know that ASD individuals can vary quite a lot, with different suggesti... |

| What you should have gotten from her is an apology and confirmation that next time she wants to give away something of yours she will ask you first. To insult you instead was an inappropriate response. Forget the money value. As a family, all the "stuff" in the home is considered, by some ... |

There is lot that Biden manages to get done by directing behind the scenes and allowing others to take credit, instead of banging at the public gates. I follow a political history professor who often writes up things Biden has acco... |

| It's pure misogyny disguised as protecting kids. If they cared about kids, they would care about the potential emotional scars from harassing a child. It's become an excuse to bully any female who isn't fitting their messed up vision of what perfect femininity should look like. Make no mistake, aski... |

| My kid asked me what ruined the spirit of the Olympics. I told her that the USA ruined the spirit of the Olympics.. as popular as the American "Dream Team" was in the USA.. The plain cold hard fact of the matter is, it was a completely illegal team. Once you accept money to earn a living ... |

| I think it is extremely hard for kids to come out to their parents. They know so many horror stories, and for most a parent is someone they don't just want approval from, but need it. So despite how I thought my kids would know that we would accept them as they were, it turns out our second child di... |

| But reading it from a medical professional just floored me I remember feeling this same way. The language they use is so stark, so cold, so negative. Remember one thing: your child hasn't changed. All the good things are still there (albeit not in the report) and may more than offset the negative. ... |

| We've had indoor HEPA air filter/cleaners since the bad wild fires a few years ago and they definitely help. My office has the blue light style to help reduce the spread of COVID. It all does help, and prices start just below $100 for a small room size. Masks for outdoors on smokey days, filters for... |
