RomanceRe: Possibility Of Falling In Love With Someone Overseas by SoWhat77(f): 4:36am On Jul 14, 2008
I have no shame in saying my husband and I met on the internet. I was looking at a dating website with one of my friends and saw his photo. I thought he was so cute and told her to send him a message. When she sent it he looked at her photo and I guess wasnt interested but I decided to take a chance and send him my photo and let him know who it really was that was interested in him. He finally responded back the same night and the rest is history.

I must admit that at first I did not take it seriously becuase he was soo far away. He in Asia and me in the States. However as time went on we grew to love each other and the distance made no differance. A year later we met and then 9 months after that we married. We now have been married 3 years and have a two year old duaghter. Sure there are things we would have known better about each other had we met face to face and physically dated, however if you are truly fond of the person dont let the distance stop it from growing into true love. Love has no bounderies. It doesnt know miles, kilometers, borders, or bounderies so why let them stop you from finding the love of your life?

The only thing you can do is sit your husband down and peacefully try to explain to him how you feel. Give him the same examples that you gave us here on the board and hope that he can see through this one sided friendship. If he still is unable to see the reason behind what you are telling him, then the only thing you can do is continue to support him in his decisions and pray that he will eventually come around and see the truth.

Abraham did not listen to the advice of his wife Sarah until Jehovah God spoke to him and told him to "listen to her voice. Unfortunately God cannot speak to us outright anymore. He chooses to help us gain wisdom and understanding and when that does not work sometimes he allows us to learn the hard way. It is a hard lesson learned in this manner, however it is just that. A lesson. SO maybe it will take him getting tired and fed up before he can see the truth. Either way, he is your husband and you married him for better or for worse. Stick by his side and be the best wife and friend you can be. Respect his decisions and when he falls hard from this unbalanced friendship, be there to catch him.

FamilyRe: How To Deal With A Maid That Steals by SoWhat77(f): 3:32am On Jul 14, 2008
There is no excuse for employing a 12 year old CHILD. There are a few exceptions to a child entering into a contract for employment such as delivering papers, cutting grass, or washing a car. However in these situations the child would fullfill his duty collect his payment himself and return home to the parents or caregivers that love him and have his best interest at heart. This is far from that!

First of all the boy cannot be under contract for service because he was not the one deciding to perform the service. His parents or guardians were.

Second, if the boy was the one that entered into the contract with his own free will then why does he not receive the salary himself. If he was receiving pay for his services then he would have no need to steal!

Third, a person who is forced or coerced to perform a service in order for a third party to get some form of monetary gain is plain and simple A SLAVE!

If your mother does not feel that this type of arrangement is modern day child abuse and slavery then why doesn't she let him go and simply request that you "HELP" her yourself? If this work is not something two grown women can do themselves, than why on earth would you employ a 12 year old to do it.
This is utterly ridiculous! And no I am not being dramatic or a humanitarian. It doesn't take that kind of thinking to realize that this is wrong. You may have grown up in a society that thinks that this is OK but as human beings that grow, learn, and become wiser, you come to a point that you as a person, a individual, must realize right and wrong. And the fact that you will not do this work yourself yet hire a child to do it, tells me that you KNOW this is not right.

I think that under any economic situation it is shamefull for parents to hire out their children for money. ALL children need to be at home with the love, affection, and understanding of their parents. There is no excuse to send your children away to make money for the home. In fact isn't the child a part of the home? If you have sent them away then who is there to make money for? What is the struggle for if not for the family? Why doesn't the parent go and slave away for the child? Isn't this the way God intended family to be? Two adult parents that cannot find suitable employment for themselves but yet can find it for the child! Monstrous!

So no the poster and her mother are not the only ones to blame here. The main fault and blame lies with the parents and if the child did not go to the poster and her family then there will always be someone else willing and immoral enough to do it.With that said, [img][/img]I have often heard the saying "It takes a villiage to raise a child" but doesn't it also take a village to eradicate inhumane behavior?
