Questions: Family & Friends

Maternity leave is when the mother can take leave of absence from work after she gives birth so she can have time to recover from labor and delivery as well as time to bond with baby. Or even parental leave where not only the father can help the mother recover after she's gives birth, but also use that time to bond with baby as well.

My friend's 8 year-old daughter seems to be getting worse. She's spoiled, sometimes backtalks to adults and it's really her husband's fault. They already have two sons, 18 and 20 years old.

He never says no to her, spoils her way more than with his 2 sons when they were that age and gave her everything whenever she threw a tantrums, even saw him laughing one day. He really though it was cute and funny. She was grounded one day and the mother said she couldn't go to the park but the father took her to the park.

Any loving parent would protect their child. What if you had to protect your child from hurting others and destroying lives; hurting himself too since he'll be in prison for a long time if he does it.

Scenario:

You find a notebook or a recording, where it's your teenaged or young adult child explaining that he's going to commit a shooting spread or he's going to rob people at gunpoint to steal money. You have to protect him from himself... at the same time saving others. Would you turn him in?

We all know what someone with lots of opinions looks like. It can be difficult to absorb sometimes, but I guess when it tips into being very annoying is when they are stubborn, disrespectful, or always think theirs are right and others' are wrong. Some speak before they think, and figure it out later that they may need to recalibrate or refine their conclusions; but it's the ones that have no flexibility in their thinking that can be problematic.

Then the other type is a person who seems so noncommittal, it's difficult to know what they truly think about anything. Maybe they don't want to offend; maybe they truly don't have an opinion, but you often wonder where they really stand, or what might be revealed later, because they seem so vague and noncommittal.

I'm just curious which people find is the more difficult situation/person.

Please expand on why.

A couple of weeks ago like I have previously posted I went for an Italian with my frined and was delivered a poor service of food. We were delivered a obnoxious waitress, and after food was ordered Lamb steak and Lasagne the food was poor so it was sent back via the waitress to which she decided to ell me and my friend how the food should or should not be. We decided to get up and leave at which point the waitress told us both we couldnt and mocked my tan so I threw a cup of Pepsi over her at which point security and a off duty officer intervened, I was hancuffed and made to wait for authorities and whilst sitting at the entrance waiting *still furious* I see my friend paying and the waitress looking over laughing and smiling in my direction to which I then decided to tell her some home truths and let customers know the kind of establishment they were dealing with and which point secuirty placed a piece of white duct tape on my mouth and half the resturaunt started clapping and cheering I was made to wait this way for half an hour!

Its been over 2 weeks now and I am still getting daily jokes about either being throwing a drink or being "gagged" which is the main one im getting silly jokes about and I dont get the hilarity!
