I bought a cruise for my boyfriend as an Xmas gift. I was a fun way to give it to him though, not just give him a few papers that says we’re going on a cruise. On EBay I have purcased a little Southwest airplane, a plastic Princess Cruise ship, postcards from St. Thomas and a mug from St. Maarten. I don’t want to arrange them in a basket, I want it to be a bit more challenging, like open one at a time but I don’t just want a stack of gifts…what’s a good/exciting way to have him open these items that will slowly start to get him mind working and trying to figure how these all tie together?
My Aiden is 9 months he is cruising all around the house and even takes a few steps and sits down he so ready to walk . Me and him have thrush so we started gentian violet treatment yesterday and his whole mouth is bright purple he has been looking in the mirror all day and laughing at his purple mouth and face. lol I bought him alot of pj’s and warm winter clothes that he oh so needed. I also filled his stocking up with gerber snacks and I got him a push walker by playschool and some building blocks. His dad still has not started x/mas shopping typical man lol but Im sure he’s gonna buy him a big toy he does not need because that’s what dad’s do. Hope you all have a great xmas and I just like hearing about what the Lo are up to I really don’t have any other friends or ppl that like hearing about baby stuff like you guys do
IM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY ADIVSE PLEASE COMMENT!!
SERIOUSE ANSWERS PLEASE.
My dad has been playing this video game called Second Life for over a year now and he has began a relationship with a woman named Stacey who he says is JUST a friend but she calls the house CONSTANTLY during the day while my mom is not home. She talks to my dad about GOD knows what and i cant stand it. I dont like the woman simply because she is HALF HIS AGE and talking to a married man! they talk on the Second Life game EVERY SINGLE DAY and she calls him day in and day out on our house phone and my dad cell phone, even sometimes while my mom is at home. One day she called while my dad was asleep and i answered it and asked to take a message for him and she hung up on me!
its breaking my moms heart when hes away on that stupid game talking this woman all day long and he doesnt give us the time of day for ANYTHING. recently we went on a cruise together (that my mom paid for) and she had to FORCE my dad to go with us because he hates leaving the house for anything but ciggarettes and beer. he wouldnt have gone if me and my husband werent getting married while on the vacation. so he went and he tried to have fun the first day or two then he complained the rest of the entire vacation and sat in his cabin and slept and watched TV. my mother had to do everything ALONE. it made her so sad and i could tell she was so lonely.
SO weve been putting up with him and this other girl talking for over a year and last night ON CHRISTMAS DAY while the family was all together eating dinner and watching my brother, his friends and my husband play a playstation game in the living room the house phone rang and it was that STACEY woman! i was SOOOO MAD. SHE CALLED HIM ON CHRISTMAS DAY! THE ONE DAY WE REALLY NEEDED HIS PRESENCE WITH THE FAMILY! i didnt say anything to my dad but i silently said “its his Giiiiirrrrll Friiieeend” in a teasing way and then i said “Call Me” quietly in a really girly voice and my dad heard me while he was on the phone and he yelled WHO SAID THAT!? and i didnt own up to it so he got even more pissed and said “If yall are gona be like that then ill just go to the other room and play my game! i dont HAVE to be in here with yall anyways” so my mom tried to calm him down and said “they didnt mean anything by it just calm down dear” and my dad said “Bullshit they need to keep thier mouths shut! its YALLS fault i play that game anyways!”
and so i tried to bring the christmas spirit back and said “Hey Merry Christmas!” and my dad said “Yeah same to you ASSHOLE” so i kept my mouth shut (cause my dad has a bad temper and will start throwing and breaking stuff if you push his buttons too much) but my brother decided to be an idiot and said “We learned it from you” and my dad went “FINE! THATS IT. IVE HAD IT. IM LEAVING TO PLAY THE GAME.” and he walked outta the room and went to his computer room and threw his plate full of turkey stuff away and almost broke the plate. my mom went in there to try to reason with him and apologize for my brothers dumb remark and he told her “Well you know its YOUR fault too! theres other things too and they have been going on for a long long time” basically saying he doesnt love her anymore and hasnt in a long long time, AND on top of that he complained about how the food was and that the turkey was bad. My mom almost died from a collapsed lung last week and spent 2 days in progressive care so the doctor told her not to cook or clean or over work herself at ALL over the holidays or else she will get worse. my mom explained that thats why my grampa had to cook the turkey (which was were we got all our xmas food) and he just said “Well thats a different story”. never even apologized or offered to help her clean up or NOTHIN.
my mom cried and me and my brother ran to her and spent time with her in the other room just talking about how much we love and appreciate her. she felt better but my dad never said a word the rest of the night. this all happend infront of like 3 of my brother friends and my husband. it was humiliating and sad…
I WANT SO BADLY to tell my father im sick of him treating us like were the worst thing thats ever happend to him. It is breaking my heart to feel like i dont have a father to talk to or spend time with or go out to lunch with and just talk about life and ask advice. it KILLS me to see my mother struggle to make the bills and then spend her last dollar on me or my brother when our car breaks down then when the holidays come around we always end up BROKE and cant buy her anything! she has been the person holding our family together and im almost in tears now just thinking about it. i want her to just feel loved. I just dont know what to do or say. i want to find a way to make him understand how he is affecting the family. I know he loves us he just NEVER shows it and sometimes i wonder if he really does love us or not. its always a rude comment or hes criti
its always a rude comment or hes critisizing us or hes telling us to do something or hes complaining about how WE lost his stuff, or how he puts it “you always run off with my things”, when really HE just got too drunk last night to remember where he puts his stuff. noone ever touches his things because were sick of getting blamed when something goes missing. everything is always OUR fault. everything is always because of Me, my brother, my mother or my husband. he has never blamed himself for ANYTHING. ive never heard him say I LOVE YOU since i was a little girl. he never buys my mom gifts for holidays. my mom has to buy gifts to the family and write his name on them and pretend its from him too. he didnt even care to see us open our presents this year. he doesnt know how to show any other emotion except anger. I honestly dont know why i keep trying to keep a steady relationship with him.. i try everyday to ask him how his day was or how hes doing or tell him about my day and he just
he just Nods and says OK. them he starts complaining again or ignores me altogether.
IM SO SICK OF IGNORING HIM AND TELLING MYSELF HE DOESNT MEAN IT AND HELL CHANGE SOMEDAY AND ALWAYS HAVING TO CHEER UP MY MOM BECAUSE MY DAD IS BEING A JERK TO HER I WANT IT TO STOP NOW! i want him to acknowledge that hes hurting us instead of pretending that everything if fine…
i feel horrible for saying this but i think if he were to die tomarrow i wouldnt cry. ide be sad but there would be NO tears. i dont know how to tell him that he is breaking my heart everytime he talks to Stacey while my mom is away. he made my mother cry and my brother completely hates him (he moved out to get away from him). how can i tell him that when i move out with my husband i dont plan on trying to keep a relationship with him anymore. i pray everynight that he would give mom a hug or tell her he loves her or gives her a kiss or b
or buy her a gift to show he actually cares…. but he doesnt and it makes me wana cry for my mom.
i have told my mom exactly how i feel and she always says He will cahnge and eventually get tired of this Stacy woman and the relationship will end [hopefully]. she says she worries that one day her kids will move on and she will never see them again because of my dad. shes worried he will leave her one day. shes worried he will hurt himself or another out of his temper. she is just FULL or worries and fear from HIM.
WHAT TO DO!! I JUST WANT THIS ALL TO BE BETTER FOR MY MOM! i dont care about my dad anymore. i just want my mom to be happy.
My mom has told me if it wasnt for her responsibilities and the house payments and her $600 car payments she would leave him but she cant afford it. she doesnt wana lose our home and she doesnt wana live in an apartment. its sad but she is stuck where she is until there is a miracle…
There are 2 reasons why I LOVE christmas!! 1. Sales 2. Day after christmas sales. Usually,I end up buying myself things more than I buy for anyone else.
This year consisted of like 5 trips to the mall. i got:
2 pairs of abercrombie jeans. (one had no security sensor attached so I’ll let you guess about that) 40% OFF!
3 pairs of jeans, 2 sweaters and 1 T shirt from Ruehl NO.925 Everything was 50% off, even clearance and jeans were 50% off 38$ because the store is closing
1 Military Jacket from Banana Republic: $198 but I got 40% off because I opened their credit card so it came out to 118!!! (now their all sold out, and even on sale after xmas you couldn’t buy it for less than 140!!
1 pair of newly released shorts that will look amazing on my cruise this winter!!!!!!
i sent a girl flowers for xmas. she told me that i am the last thing she thinks about every night before she sleeps and that she really likes me a lot. however, i don’t know if that’s true.. i sent her flowers and she got them yesterday and i have not gotten a thank you or anything from her. we both go to the same university and are on xmas break until the 9 of jan. we live in states that are separated by 900 miles. before last week we spent 2-3 hrs each night talking on the phone but i wasn’t able to talk to her this week bc i was on a cruise and she knew that.
we both had a thing for a month back in sept into october. she stopped it because i would go and talk to her friends about stuff.. but then at the end of the semester she text me when she was drunk saying she wanted to talk.. i talked to her and she told me that stuff i wrote above.. she spent the night with me that night. but when she was saying that stuff she said that she didnt think a relationship would work out between us..
idk. i think i’m going to give up now and leave her alone. however, if i do this i will never speak to her again. not saying thank you really hurt me this time.
i am confused. was she playing me? insightful answers please… i dont know where i went wrong
I worked for Royal Carbbean and met this wonderful singer named Robbistine Myles on the ship. For the Christmas cruise we had prepared a version of What Child is This and decided to record it. Enjoy!

No offense taken, but I chose Xmas just because it was a bit shorter. I will be sure to use CHRISTmas in my other questions!
I have thought of a few ideas like putting a model of a cruise ship on the tree but was wondering if anyone else out there had some good ideas as well. Thanks in advance for helping a man out
Any more ideas out there?
Also any ideas that do not involve kidnapping her? lol
