Before you call me a heartless parent let me explain. In Singapore raising a child is no longer meant for people with low or average income, as for me my salary is less than $1.5k, if I really want one child I had to marry a man who earns around $3k per month. That’s because I also have to pay $1k to hire a nanny to take care of the baby, if I were to marry a guy with the same income as me and have a child basically our lives will be very miserable because there won’t be enough money to raise a child. I also wouldn’t want my parents to raise my child since they already had a hard time raising me due to financial issues, no way will I want my parents to go through that again.

This man still wants to find his daughter (then 2 years old) that's been missing for 25 years. He had full custody and dropped her off for a supervised visit with the girl's mother. Neither the mother nor the girl were seen since. The girl was allegedly kidnapped by her own mother.

He's not giving up. Would you give up at this point?

So from time to time I have been known to drop a few hundred dollars on friends just because I see them want something I know they can't afford even though they never asked me to do it. I have bought different friends a bed frame and mattress, a Nintendo Switch, sent them money just so they could order out, and even just dropped a few hundred so one friend could start a secured credit card and build credit for a house she wants one day.

I have been there myself and know what it is like to struggle. I remember a time when $25 was our monthly grocery budget. I never asked for money, but it would have probably been nice to get it. I feel like I have been blessed financially now with our jobs, my kids are well taken care of and we have everything we could possibly want. My spouse is perfectly fine with it, but I worry about the perception of it.

Would you be grateful if it were you receiving the gift or would you feel like that person is flaunting their money over you?

I've done both but just wondering what guys prefer? Would y'all want to find out at the together or she takes the test alone and does a pregnancy reveal?

I'm going to start by saying that either parent can be any kind of parent. From stay at home to having absolutely nothing to do with their child (ren).

Everyone's circumstances are INCREDIBLY different & unique. I'm on leave taking care of my newborn & have mixed feelings about leaving him to go back to work, but I still have time before I have to go back. My boyfriend is very involved when he's home, although even then I still take on the brunt of the child rearing because he's still nervous & not sure of himself with our baby. His friend & his baby momma on the other hand... His friend doesn't have any involvement with the child, he claims to only have gotten his baby momma pregnant because "if it wasn't this b*tech, it would've someone else I spread my seed to," & the mom still retains her parental rights, even though she gave up her child to her mother (child's grandmother) & should absolutely sign away her parental rights to grandma so that the child can be enrolled in school, since mom refuses to do anything for her child. Won't even let the child call her "mom". So, where do you fall on the spectrum?

My male friend just admitted while drunk to developing feelings for me during our HS years. After that incident, he has become distant. He's online but doesn't speak to me as much like before.

I really have no romantic feelings for him. Kissing him would feel like kissing a brother. I'm just wondering if I can ever get my old friendship back? I've known him since 4th grade; that's a lot of history. It would suck losing a good friend. I just want things back the way they were. Can we go back to friendship again like before?
