Part of me hopes I did break it up. I like the boy well enough most days (though this certainly has clouded my opinion), but my daughter has confessed a few times lately she feels she is mainly with him because they have a child together. maybe this will lead to an actual break-up.

I "got around" as a kid and had my first daughter out-of-wedlock at 17, so I don't know if I have the same perspective as you, but I can understand the nervous thing.
I don't want to tell you to assume it will all go swimmingly or that it will be horrible, because I don't know what it will be for you.
Read the mentioned books, ask questions, let your man know you're nervous, and just take it one step at a time.

The alternative is employers being forced to hire people incapable of meeting their job requirements.
Which I get, but it's hard when kids don't get a chance to learn how to do the job. If a parent could give advice, what's the harm in that?

Do you at all feel you've been "superior" in any way since you became more active? Not meanign to point fingers, but even a little thing might make him feel bad about this.
Sit down, affirm to him your love for him, and maybe even be willing to compromise on a few faith issues. My sister-in-law is married to my a Methodist man--she goes to his church half the Sundays in the month. He doesn't attend hers, but isn't super-active in his church but appreciates that church time together. They've been able to work everything out.
I don't mean sell out on your testimony. Keep up your LDS faith, I just used that as an example.
I agree that he definitly isn't used to his "new wife" and will probably need a lot of extra love and assurance.

We did something last night. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I feel jubilant about it.
We kicked one daughter's boyfriend out last night.
He broke our rules for drugs plus hit one of the other kids (not his). My husband ordered him out of the house, threw all of his clothes in a bag, and threw it out on the lawn. Our daughter's boyfriend isn't ordinarly violent (the hitting has never happened before) and was even apologetic about it, so we're not worried that way (though locks were changed today and we're looking into laws.)
My daughter said he's bunking with a friend and says she understands, but she's in tears over it.
I feel quite empowered, but I hope I didn't break up a family.

I say bring up the topic. You don't have to spill everything, but bring it up casually ask her thoughts on "knowing everything" about another person. I can see both sides to this, and I say it's up to you and her.

I've been using the plain cotton due to allergies... I guess I'm so used to it. Never thought about the heat.

I guess I agree with dash a little bit on this. Just because the kid is legally adult does not mean he acts or thinks like an adult. Is it fair someone loses out in the workforce because he was expected to be more than he could do? I agree someone should not attempt to do a job they can't do, but if a parent could give a little boost... I guess I'm not sure where the line would be drawn. With my adult kids, I kind of wish I could attend them on a job interview in order to help them to know to say (assuming I trusted they could do the job), though I do see the point of view of employers.

What do you think of this article?
I have to admit, part of me really wants to help my children get jobs.
-
My suggestion to your co-worker and the groom, at this point, is to secretly tell their people to come significantly early and get a seat. The temple patrons really will only let so many people in.

It turns out this was just a big misunderstanding:
Although, it's been fun seeing all the insane conspiracy theories that have been going around the internet about this.
Hah. I believe it. Little kids get confused. And that certainly explains the result of three chicken nuggets.

I'm going through another rough spot with this. One of my daughters has been in tears for a few days now becaus she can't find work. She has told me she feels unloved and unsupported. My husband told her she's love, just not supported as much anymore. He also told her she is being far too picky about jobs. I'm feeling stuck in the middle of it.

So are atheists opposed to the idea of free will, or the idea that a deity and free will might be combined?
-
It is a curious notion to me. Where does atheist assumptions about the nature of God come from?
-
I know people that when times got hard, did apply for food stamps first (they were also a younger couple who still did not have the best food storage). Their bishop supported it.

What a pretty little thing!!!

Some people say the pill hormones will stay in your body for a few months but that's not always the case. So just eat healthy, exercise, and take care of yourself! That way, you'll be prepared for a baby. If no baby comes quite yet, hey, you're healthy anyway!

Yes! you are right! I am going to scurry off and make a tiny edit...
-
I think you're right on that, chaplain. Thanks.

I might be the minority here, but I'm kind of glad about it.

Jayanna, I appreciate your post, but Mormons are not the only religion that have committed massacres on that scale. The point made still remains.
While I do feel we should admit what people did, how do we? Are we supposed to beat ourselves up about it? Vort is right: we didn't do it. Where's the happy medium?

As someone who did this some decades ago, I advise you to seek help, both spiritually and with a qualified doctor. It's not good and any feel-good benefits you might get are merely temporal. No, it's not your fault for mental health issues (woefully misunderstood among culture) but there's still no excuse not to seek help. This is covered by the Atonement!

I'm having a moral dilemma. I have a girlfriend who is going to be investigating the church. We want to marry one day and she is willing to join the church then after the one year waiting period is up, lie about actively supporting homosexuality yet getting a temple recommend one of the questions that is asked is "Do you actively support anything contrary to the Church?" and her answer is that "God will forgive her" if she lies to get a temple recomend using James 1:9: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Anyways, I live in Canada where the homosexuality thing is moot anyways 'cause it's legal. I have bipolar and am depressed and confused about all this and the feeling are AMPLIFIED because of my bipolar. I love her dearly but she said don't try and stop her. I want to marry her and it to be honest. I support homosexuality (but that's a whole other matter.) I know I won't get into the temple because of this but I don't care. I don't want to and will not lie. Anyways could someone help me please?? What do I do??
Unless you guys are throwing rotten fruit at General Authorities over homosexual rights that probably isn't an issue. I support gay rights to a certain extent and at my last temple interview it wasn't a problem.
The big question here is if you and her are legitimately interested in the temple for the temple's sake.

The final one is the best!

I've often wondered if we as humans have more or less the same amount of hardships, but they appear so differently. People may have been hardier back then, but it was part of their lives. If we had been raised in the same conditions, we would be about the same. Did they think of themselves as particularly hardy?
Its the emotional turmoil that makes things harder for many ofus. But that's why we have that atonement. it's not just for our own sins, but anything that does cause us pain.
