I need to help hubby be a better step parent?

We Answered:

I know you love your children and they come before anyone but that should NOT mean your husband. When you married your husband you two became as one. You need to have a united front with the girls. They do not need to hear you changing the rules when you feel it easier or will make you look better. If you and your husband laid down the law of how it was going to be - then by golly you stick with it. You were wrong in agreeing to let her go without first consulting your husband..

Of course your daughter was being "good" she was trying to get you to concede and let her go to this dance. Guess she won and guess what? come this Monday when it's back to school and studies, she will do the same thing all over again.

When you go against your husband with your children, your children pick up the fact that 1) you're easy 2) you don't respect your husband and neither should they and 3) they can continue to screw up without consequences.

I think you were wrong an you should apologize to your husband in front of your child and then turn around to your child and say . .I was wrong and your punishment is still in event. Hard lessons mom build character. Allowing your girls to run the house and / or make your decisions for them is not healthy for you, your husband, your girls or your relationship with your husband.

It bothers me that you so willingly considerd divorce and would if you could afford it. WOW. I feel so sorry for your huband. Poor man tries to be a part of YOUR family and he is made to feel like an outsider. His opinions are disregarded however way it suits you. He is used for his money and the monetary things he can give you i.e. SUV. You have caused your girls have no respect for him whatsoever and YOU do not see him as a father after all he's only been in their lives since 2000. Lets do the math here - 1 girl is 10 so he's been in her life since she was 2; 1 girl is 15 so he's been in her life since she was 7. That's a very long and significant amount of time to be in anyone's life. Especially at their ages.

Respect your husband's wishes and DON'T let her go. She doesn't deserve it and hasn't earned it. what you're doing is equallivant to telling her she can't have a piece of chocolate cake but letting her have the icing.

tired of wasting paper, can i print double sided sheets for documents?

We Answered:

Try fine print. they print a small line on the page "printed with fineprint" or something unless you pay for the full version. I use it for notes and stuff.

It doesn't print double sided pages, it just fits up to eight pages onto one. It's very easy, it installs as a printer then you choose it like you usually choose your current printer.

Homeschooling method?

We Answered:

Hit your local library and see if they have a copy of The Teenage Liberation Handbook. This book is chock-full of advice and ideas that you can use. It's written for teenagers who would like to take their own education into their own hands, treat it seriously, and take the road less traveled.

The author was a teacher in public schools, private schools, and settled on respecting teenagers instead of trying to control them, and focusing on her own passion: Dance.

It's a very worthwhile read, has great outlines, advice, suggestions and questions for you to ask yourself.

do you think this teacher is really suitable for teaching?. (explanation inside)?

We Answered:

It sounds as thought your teachers reactions are due to his class making him feel stupid. Many teachers have dyslexia (a good friend of mine is a kindergarten teacher) and that in itself doesn't make them a bad teacher. But it sounds like your teacher has had a lot of harsh criticism concerning his problem (is he older - a lot of times older teachers are more hurt or more likely to be this way because they didn't get the understanding and support that many people dyslexia have now).

I think with correcting him publicly, also embarrasses him. What would any of you do if someone kept correcting you over and over again? I am sure if would get on your last nerve (but that doesn't excuse his outbursts). I think with his disabilities, and being older, he's still stuck in a rut of a person with disabilities instead of going out and embracing his differences for the better.

I think he has some emotional issues surrounding his disabilities. If he got help or some form of counseling, I believe that would help him work through his issues. If you and a number of students have a problem with him, try talking to your parents, advisor or set up a meeting as a group to talk to your principle. They might be able to talk to him about relaxing or suggesting alternatives. I think he really is suffering from emotional issues and low-self esteem.

It's not that he's not suitable, he just needs some help. Teachers don't make that much money, but he might be living at home because he feels he can't live on his own. I'd show some compassion for him in this situation (but that doesn't excuse his behavior). There will be bad and good teachers everywhere. Many college professors are like this and even talk down and belittle students. Not that you need to get used to it, it's just a way of life. Some people shouldn't be teaching or can't teach well, but they will always be out there.

Hope that helps somewhat. Good luck.

pls help me with more homework! (p6 maths)?

We Answered:

1) Well, since Li drove 50km in 36 minutes and the whole trip was 200 km, it took her 4 * 36 minutes = 144 minutes.

2) T = YJ - 10
J = T x 2
J = D + 30
D = 90 minutes to complete
So, J took 120 minutes; T took 60 minutes, and YJ took 70 minutes.
To complete 4/5, YJ took (4/5)(17) = 56 minutes
To complete 5/9, John took (5/9)(120) = 66 minutes and 40 seconds.

3) Too tired - sorry!

4) F = # of $5 notes and T = # of $10 notes
4T = 7F
We also know that T = F + 108 (I assume you meant $5 notes in that last sentence, not $4. If you meant $2, I am too tired to work it out that way.)
So, 4(F + 108) = 7F, or 4F + 432 = 7F
3F = 432, and F = 144 and T = 144 + 108 = 252
The value of F = 144 * 5 = $720, and the value of T = 252 x 10 = $2,520.
The total # of $5 and $10 notes = 144 + 252 = 396 notes, which is 45% of all the notes in her bag.
So, the total number of notes in the bag = 396/.45 = 800, which means that there are404 $2 notes. The value of these notes are $808.
Total value = $808 + $720 + $2,520 = $4,048.
