It is not normal 6-year-old behavior, despite what others say.  It is normal bratty, spoiled 6-year-old behavior, and it is not acceptable.  Since your husband won't correct him, you are just going to have to let the kid know that you aren't his sibling and you don't compete for slushies and you are happy that they have a good time together.  Try and stay in that mindset.  Also, if you don't mind my commenting on something I think you said earlier about them cuddling and stuff and how you thought that was strange - it might seem strange if it is not something you have witnessed before, but that is an important part of bonding.  Six years old is still pretty young and they should be doing a lot of cuddling.  It will end soon enough so let your hubby give him that affection.  The kid might not be getting it from his mom or others in his life.   

I also don't understand why others are saying you are humiliating your husband in a public forum.  That's silly.  Now if you posted it on a billboard in his hometown, that would be different!

if he doesn't he could at least smoke right by a window and blow the smoke directly outside - maybe in just one room in the house.  I think he should definitely smoke outside but if he refuses, blowing the smoke directly out the window will help a bit.  My father-in-law smokes in the house sometimes right by the window, and his house doesn't smell nearly as bad as a lot of smokers' houses.

I'm sure you know your husband is putting your health in danger by doing this.  My step-grandpa died of lung cancer and never smoked, but both of his wives chain smoked, and I'm sure that second-hand smoke was a factor in him dying of lung cancer.  My husband also has asthma, and I wonder if it's partly because his father smoked in the house his whole life.  Dr. Phil always says you teach people how to treat you, and it sounds like up until this point it hasn't bothered you too much, so you will have to teach him something different now that it is really getting to you.  Good for you for putting your foot down!

7. Call the 3  national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert  on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number.  I  had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me  an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name. The alert  means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen,  and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.   
By the time I  was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had  been done. There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the  thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the  alert.  Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves  threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in).  It seems to  have stopped them dead in their tracks.


Now, here are  the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc., has been  stolen:
 
1.) Equifax:  1-800-525-6285

2.) Experian  (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

3.) Trans   Union : 1-800-680-7289

4.) Social  Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

We pass along  jokes on the Internet; we pass along just about everything.  

If you are  willing to pass this information along, it could really help someone.

A battery up here in Michigan lasts about 3 years, then you're gambling on whether or not it'll start.  I carry jumper cables in the trunk just in case.  It's not that bad.

LOL, hubby and I had a car that would not start if the temperature was less than 10, even with a new battery.  It would start if it was 11 or 12 even, but if it was 10 or less, no way.

or lie to him about birth control, your marriage is not very strong...what would you advise your daughter if she asked you the same thing?

Are you just being sarcastic?  I hope so.  I love kids, but seriously, this country can't afford to have women having more children than they can afford.  Look at the mess we're in now with welfare, not to mention the abuse and neglect these children suffer.  I live in a very rural, low income area.  I have seen so many children whose parents don't care for them, yet they continue to "pop out" more babies to get more welfare benefits. 

If this becomes a new trend, the govt will end up removing the welfare caps in order to support these children.  I know it's not the children's fault, but it isn't my fault either.  I'm tired of paying for the welfare system as it is.

I viewed the ad online at walmart.com and when I clicked on a particular item it said that it would be available in the store and online on Friday.  Yeahhh!!!!

I've been doing it for a couple of years now and I love it. Sure saves on the ever increasing postage.

I just did my taxes last week on TurboTax online and got the refund already.  It was very convenient, but I wish I had known that in advance.  I definitely would not have used them. All companies should have to say where they are and who they are.  USA!!

I'm having a heck of a time finding a bathing suit anywhere locally (Wisconsin).  The only place I see them are online, and I'm a bit hesitant about purchasing because it's a hassle returning, etc. Any suggestions?  Goin' on a cruise in December.  Thanks for your suggestions.
