What's the best way to make rooms go together?
Q. We are moving to our first house soon and the entire house is tiled. I really like the tile, except for in our kids bedrooms. My husband refuses to carpet the rooms so I'm trying to figure out the best way to make the rooms look right for kids. The tile is ceramic and in one room has a 10x10 area that is black tile with an outside border in a tan tile and the other room is a 6x6 area of black tile with the same tan tile on the outside. I don't feel like the black tile is going to look right in the kids rooms so I"m trying to find a cost efficient way to cover this as much as possible. Thanks!
A. Rugs are probably the easiest and least expensive way to cover the black tiles, but they can still be expensive. When you give the area of black tiles you don't say if the 10x10 is a measure of feet, or tiles. It is important� 10 feet by 10 feet is most of a room with a narrow outside border. That is a lot to cover, and perhaps a carpet remnant would be the most economic buy. If the 10x10 space is 6-inch tiles you only need a rug that is 5 & 1/2 feet wide, and that is a much easier size to find on a budget.
Regardless, it is important for safety to make sure rugs won't slip on the tile, and a non-slip rug pad will also extend the life of the rug. Below are some links, but you should visit stores in your area to see what is available, especially if you are looking for remnants.

Ny neighbor is unbearable!!!?
Q. So I live in an apartment and my next door neighbor is SO LOUD. Don't underestimate, he slams cupboards shut and all I hear is the banging, kis kids throw balls against the walls, he has NEVER picked up one pile of dog poo and I take my dog that same way...I counted 22 piles yesterday in a 10x10 radius. What tops it all off is his alarm clock. For a while it was everyday, but not as often now. It will go off from 5AM until 7:30AM against my bedroom wall. I get up at 8. I have asked him nicely about his clock, which is why it stopped for a while. I complained to the fron toffice TWICE about him. I don't know how much more I can take, but I don't want to be the tenant that complains to the front all the time. I wake up at 5AM with the urge to key his car or something awful. I don't know how much more I can take or what else to do. Oh, and he is not technically allowed to have his dogs or his kids (it's an upstairs apt.) WHAT CAN I DO!!
I am a waitress and can't afford a house and my lease is up in September of 07'. He moved in shortly after I signed another lease. so moving is out of the question. And I have tried talking to him. It made no difference.

A. you should complain again. i don't think there is anything else you can do. if it persists then you could try getting out of your lease. i had a very noisy neighbor at my last complex and i complained several times. nothing was ever done. i eventually got fed up and told the landlord that i had to move as i couldn't live like that. i was allowed to break my lease without penalty as they had all of my complaints on file. you may not get as lucky as i did but it is worth a shot. good luck
My boyfriend spends to much time at parents house, Should i say anything?
Q. Ok. My boyfriend is almost 30 and he is literally at his parents house like 24/7. If hes not at work hes there. We have our own apt so its not like he has no where to go. Im always welcome there but sometimes i want to sit on my own couch and watch tv. Thats the other thing, his fam doesnt hang out in their living room they all sit back in their 10x10 bedroom. We recently had a kid so i know the "grandparents" want to spend time with him but when im at work they babysit so they see the kid all the time. This is really straining our relationship and i dont know whether to say anything or not. If i do hes going to blame me somehow and then im sure tell his parents what i said. Also we have a hard time communicating anyway. What do ya'll think i should do? Go for it or keep my mouth shut
A. wow.....
i have a strange picture in my head of his family being 5 or 6 overweight people sitting in various places in a 10x10 bedroom drinking beer, watching an old tv.. the smell i could imagine is deplorable.
i could understand why you don't wanna go!
aside from that, this guy kinda seems like a wuss. a total and complete mamas boy with extreme separation anxiety.
would you consider him as someone who's moderately selfish?
whatever.. i'm probably way off....
as far as how to approach this, you obviously cant make him ween himself from his mom's titt until his mom is ready to do so....
I've literally heard of people well into their teen years breast feeding from their moms.. they see no problem with it, and either do their parents. but to people outside looking in, it's sick..
your husband probably isn't literally doing that at 30, but he may as well be.. he needs to start his OWN life, with YOU, and move out of the nest..
i almost guarantee if you told him "hey... i found a new job in new york" he'd be like "WOW that sucks... i'll never get to see you or the kid anymore! "
i dunno...... this is a hard one..... he needs to learn to be a man. a REAL man.....
wow........................ well.... i don't think i really offered any advice here, but, i hope you're able to stay strong enough to get through this and somehow change the tides a little..
could you possibly talk to his parents??????????????????? that's probably a bad idea huh????
start doing things at home that require him to be there... like... cook dinner a little later at night so he has less of a chance of dining and dashing....
buy some sexy clothes and lay them out in the morning so he knows what to expect when he gets home.... then make sure to make it wait until right before bed so he has to stay there waiting...
i dunno.. buy a big screen tv...
other than that, see a counselor.... You are going to need some help getting him out of that habit...

what are the chances we could get custody of my b/f's son?
Q. Currently my boyfriend and I are having a lot of issues being able to see his 7 year old son whom he has joint custody of with his soon to be ex wife. Now, please hear out all of the details and tell me if we stand any chance whatsoever of getting him to come live with us.
My boyfriend and I live in a spacious one bedroom apt together. His ex lives with her new fiance' and their one week old newborn son along with my boyfriend's son in one 3rd of her mother's finished basement. The baby's room is 4X6, her bedroom is the living room, and my boyfriend's son's room is 10X10 with no doors, no windows, and it's actually the center of that whole area. You can't get to the bathroom or the baby's room without going through his room.
Last summer she filed a motion to get full custody because she decided on a whim with no proof and no allegations that my boyfriend was an unfit parent. The court decided to have my boyfriend do supervised visits twice a week with his son with his ex and her fiance' supervising. Now, we've finally established a temporary agreement where he gets him for two hours on wednesday evenings and 5 hours on saturdays. we live 45 minutes away and we have to do all the traveling to get him by the way. His ex does not have a job, does not have a license or a car, and her boyfriend is a cart pusher at walmart. she's on welfare. my boyfriend and I both have fulltime jobs and pay our own bills. he pays her 86 bucks a week in child support.
His son has been extremely upset for weeks now because he wants to spend more time with us and he hates living in that basement. he says that all the grown ups in his house are constantly arguing and fighting and no one gives him any attention. His grandmother tells him bullshit about his father about how he's trying to use him and take advantage of him (she's a huge manipulator, constantly fights with her daughter about how to raise her kids, etc....). Regardless of who he lives with, my boyfriend and I or his mother, we think it's best he moves out of that basement because there is too much dysfunction from his grandparents.
My boyfriend goes back to court next month and they will finally rule on if she should get full custody or not (which isn't a chance I'm sure). They've both had to speak to the department of children and family's and they were both supposed to schedule a home visit. We did our home visit but she still has not done hers.
Also, my boyfriend says that she is a very lazy and messy person. He said when he lived there she never did anything, didn't work, while he worked 2 jobs and cleaned the house and fed their kid. he said he would come home from work and his son would be crying he was hungry and she'd be on the couch watching soaps.
We have no proof whatsoever that is submissive in court to prove that she would be an unfit parent or that he'd be better off with us. The way we see it, since there are 3 people in that house who don't work, there's always someone there, and that looks better in court than 2 people who work 8-5 mon thru fri. I suggested that she be allowed to pick him up from school everyday and my boyfriend pick him up from her house on the way home from work, but she doesn't have a car and we live 45 min away, there's no way she'd do that. I think his son would be a lot happier living with us because we don't argue alot, and anytime we do disagree, we take it in the other room away from the kid. We also would be more flexible with his mother as to when she can see him. This way, he gets to see both his parents as much as possible, whereas right now he's inconsolably crying day in and day out that he misses his dad, and they don't give a crap.
So, what should we do?
it is in the state of CT and he does have an ad litem. The only thing is, I don't think he knows that. Which is why on his next visit my boyfriend is sitting down with him and explaining to him what an ad litem does and if he wants to talk to him and tell him how he feels, that he will take that into consideration in the court room for him.

A. You should have a guardian ad litem through the dept of children and families and have that person evaluate the situation. Remember, the judge is only interested in this.........What is the BEST interest for the child? Be objective, not forceful. Be caring, nurturing, understanding, and humble. the judge and the Dept of Children and Families has way more compassion and understanding for that kind of parental behavior. Finally, pray, put this in God's hands and he will help you understand the path you should take. Good Luck.
