OP, some people desire what they aren't getting, and despise what they do have. It's a stupid and self-destructive addiction that leads a long trail to nowhere.

Nice tune!

Obviously she is a nurse because she loves nursing. Also, with a PhD she can become a professor, or she can be the director of a nursing program. She can be easily making $150,000 every year for the next 20 years. Can she do that as an actress? Is Nollywood paying 60+ year old women a huge some of money these days?

all of you guys are full of crap. you guys make america to be some kinda utopia. utopia it is not. this is not a good place to be in, especially for a nigerian who has spent the better part of their life in nigeria (talk less of one who was adored as a celeb in nigeria). i can bet you that all the nurses in america (and i mean every last one of them ) if offered 5 million dollars and told to return to nigeria OR if offered $150,000 per annum to live in america, i can bet my last dollar that every last bit of them will be on the next thing smoking out of america. there is no such thing as rest of mind or comfort in america. its not possible.

True.

Unfortunately the Naijaness and bad belle in us seeks to try and pull people down and equate monetary millions with happiness. Money is needed to have a good life but don't feel that oodles of cash will make you any happier. I know, I've been there !!!! This isn't to say Millions make you unhappy, NO !!! What I say is that financial wealth is not guarantee of either HEALTH, LOVE, or HAPPINESS.

Regina has made a laudable choice to be out of the limelight and 'enjoy' her life privately. I can bet you the piece of mind she has in he US is better than providing cannon fodder for the gutter journalists who go round trying to smear people's names in the name of 'News Scoops'.

I've also seen comments about 'wiping butts in America' and it really showed me the shallowness and ignorance of whoever made such comments. I can bet you that person (or those people) are 'stuck' in Nigeria with little hope of ever crossing our borders. Let me educate YOU, Nursing is not about 'wiping butts' and has moved well ahead of the Nurse Eliza's you come across in Nigeria. Before you ask, NO, I'm not a nurse, will never and don't aspire to be one !!!!!!

Massive kudos to Regina , To me she's the kind of role model a lot of girls should aspire to be like. She's been there, Done that and I wish her all the very best !!!

This is sick and disgusting.

They should contact a local news agency and get more publicity so that a local lawyer will take their case free of charge.

Please my people, I need sincere and informed advice on this serious issue:

My new girlfriend resisted me the first time that I tried to have sex with her. She was storming out of my house during the episode when I threatened her that "you walk out through that door and you ve walked out of the relationship, ". she stopped in her tracks and came back.

[size=4pt]IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS RESISTING YOU, THEN YOU NEED TO BACK THE HELL OFF! END OF STORY! SHE IS YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND MAYBE SHE DOESN'T WANT HER NEW BOYFRIEND'S DICK IN HER PUSSY! THE VERY FACT THAT SHE HAD TO STORM OUT SUGGESTED THE LEVEL OF FORCE THAT YOU WERE TRYING TO USE WAS UPSETTING HER. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORD NO MEANS? YOU THREATENED YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND WHEN SHE TRIED TO LEAVE DUE TO YOU TRYING TO FORCE HER WHEN SHE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU SHE REALLY DOES NEED COUNSELING SINCE SHE TURNED AROUND LIKE A TOP AND WENT BACK TO YOU. YES, I AM YELLING BECAUSE THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS PISSING ME THE Bleep OFF TONIGHT!!![/size]

Poster, it doesn't matter what happened to your new girlfriend. You shouldn't pressure her to have sex, or attend sex therapy. She is right to avoid sex, since she had to go through a whole lot of pain at the expense of some sick twisted person's pleasure. If you decide to marry this girl then during the serious courtship period you can both go to therapy and she can learn to trust you enough that she feels like you won't hurt her. Right now you are a mere new boyfriend and she will feel unsafe, and the fact that you threatened her has compounded the issue.

Only females can pass the "twin" gene on.

These links have some interesting stories on the subject.

Females can pass on the fraternal twin gene, but it seems that men can pass on the identical twin gene. Something to do with an enzyme in the male that causes the egg to split.



I'll have as many kids as my hubby wants me to have. _{(But no more than 5 total)}

[quote author=Miss_Ife link=topic=651431.msg8182924#msg8182924 date=1303493629]I see so many adults around me who are "successful" in terms of career, money, or other society standards but who actually feel miserable deep down. Conjugal violence, marriage problems, alcohol problems, constant stress, fear, family pressure, I also met so many "successful" older people who told me that, really, they'd rather have followed a more humble but more fulfilling path.[/quote]Great point!

He can eat real foods, like rice, bananas, carrots, applesauce, oatmeal. Just make sure that u mash it up as finely as possible and don't add any salt, sugar, or seasonings.

[quote author=~Sissy~ link=topic=651431.msg8174065#msg8174065 date=1303342688]I'd rather strive for balance. I prefer authoritative parenting to authoritarian parenting. With authoritative parenting, your chances of raising a well rounded and well balanced kids both socially and academically is high. unlike, authoritarian parenting. yes, with authoritarian you might get a well rounded academically sound child but at what cost to their social, and personal development?


While i do agree that there are equally important things we can learn from Amy's parenting skills, i feel that in some instances she did over do it. i do think however, that it is a bit early/premature to be over-glorifying yourself and your parenting skills when your kids are barely out of high school. they still have many years ahead of them to prove how [i]really [/i]good you raised them and certainly, things can change.


yes, her daughter sohpia got accepted into havard and yale which she might/will attribute to her "tough" parenting, however, there are many ivy league students/graduates who, while they didnt goof around, still enjoyed reasonable personal freedoms and still achieved big.

as the saying goes in parenting, do whatever works for you.[/quote]That's so true! Some children grow up high academic achievers and end up 'book smart' but are unprepared for the real world. Also, like you said her kids have years to go before they prove their overall success.
I googled authoritative parenting and got this website, http://www.extension.umn.edu/specializations/familydevelopment/authpar.html. It seems that a balance is really very necessary.

The author of the book 'Tiger Mom' is a U.S. born Chinese-American who is struggling to raise her children like her strict parents raised her. She has recieved a whole lot of public criticism for her tough parenting methods. I haven't read the book yet, but growing up with tough parents myself I can kind of relate to her methods. It's more of a memoir than a parenting guide, but many people in the U.S. are outraged at her methods she uses with her children.

Is tough parenting the answer? I know there are children of strict households that go astray and there are children who grew up with laid back parents that gave their children 'privacy', and 'freedom', and these children still ended up successful. I think I'd rather go the strict route myself.

I can't believe some men on here are blaming the woman. So, because a woman is 'confrontational' to her BOYFRIEND and doesn't back down in a disagreement, she can provoke a man to physical violence?

I can bet you this same man will not hit a police officer that is being 'confrontational', and this same man wouldn't hit his boss.

Punk ass fucking coward.

The goal would be not to find such an emotionally damaged woman that hasn't taken the time to work through her issues.

I can remember back to 18 months when they first put my little sister in the same crib to hang out for a few minutes. She must have been about 4 months old because she wasn't sitting by herself yet.

The laws of who you can list as the father, and also what last name you can give vary from U.S. state to state. You can probably check the state specific laws online.

What to tell your family is a very tricky subject. Being truthful causes you the least headache, but the most potential scrutiny. At this point, you can create whatever reality you want here. I would advise you to simply tell them the truth, but wait until closer to delivery in case they start stressing you out about it. You don't need to spend the next six months getting beat up by family, because it sounds like you are already beating yourself up about the situation.
