    And to old man,

    I am not an adolescent or semi-literate… it does not seem that this couple is in need of professional counseling at all. The money they would spend on a therapist can be better used on cleaning help.

    New Husband,

    Household help is quite common these days, so I’d say bite the bullet and get her help. You can have someone for a few hours once a week… from personal experience this goes a long way.

    As far as your concern about building resentment if you constantly give in: Don’t fret so much about the future. If you are able to be gracious and understanding now (especially because she is pregnant) then do so without worrying about how it will affect future communication. Marriage is about giving. If you are better at in than her right now, embrace it.

    I know each home is different, but to me it sounds like Torah Mom does not trust her 12th grader.

    I am not advocating giving children access to things that they are truly too young to handle, but the internet has become an integral component of societal functioning, and to deny all access to young adults is essentially an unhealthy form of coddling.

    With parents like these, how will young adults, our future, develop the competency to view the world through their own eyes, and not through the eyes of their hovering parents?

    A message to all the Torah Moms out there: Trust your children. Trust the chinuch you have worked so hard to instill.

    There is a big world out there, and there are many useful and practical advantages to the internet, for example 12th graders getting feedback on sem options. It seems you do not allow your high school age children internet access, which is your rightful authority to exercise, but perhaps it would be wise to not be so concerned about other people’s children, as many good bais yaakov girls have some kind of internet access in this day in age.

    The assumption that your sheltered daughter would not be safe in an environment with girls who know how to navigate the internet… well it seems a bit naive and harmful.

    If your daughter is old enough to attend seminary, she is probably old enough for a little bit of exposure.

    Its Mesores Rochel. Girls range from the Bnos Chava to BJJ spectrum, some with a little Hadar-ness mixed in. A great place for growth oriented girls. They look for fun personality in addition to the good marks, hashkafos, and all that. “Work hard, play hard…”

    K so “naughty and nice” is my favorite, then “minimalist” and once I did “body language” and was quite pleased, but it was a bit grey for the conservative.

    BTW if you do one coat of “madamoiselle” and a top coat of “Fiji” it comes out awesome….tried it by accident cuz the first coat was too sheer…these are all essies btw

    No I’m passionate about this and I’m angry because there is no excuse for people to have to be dying because ambulances can’t get through! This is brooklyn not hicksville! (Yes Hicksville is a real place)

    And Goq, this is not hupitzville I meant the only train in brooklyn running is in hupitz.

    You misunderstood me completely, I did not berate Daniel for distinguishing between different groups of Yidden, I merely questioned the apropriateness of the implication of his post. Please read or comprehend before you make statements.

    the study was not to determine who actually is amale or female. it was only to gather everyones opinions on what sort of screenname they felt would belong to either a male or female.

    Wow this CR is a tough crowd… I feel like an outsider, like I’m not part of the history, like you’re all telling jokes and high-fiving and I’m left out of all the action…. I’d share my snack to break in to the “in” crowd, but I’m at a little disadvantage here with the screen and all. sniffle.
