How can i get my mom to get me a rabbit?

My hamster just died ( died in her sleep :( ) and i want a rabbit instead of a new hamster. I’m too upset about my previous hamster get another hamster, so i decided a rabbit would be great. My mom and dad of curse said no. So…i wrote them a 5 paragraph persuasive letter and they still turned me down. So i gave them an informational paper from the internet and they turned me down again/ I then decided to start claning the house and other stuff so i bathed my dog and took him for a walk. Dusted the house except my bro’s room, vacumed the whole house, took the recycling out, did the dishes, made the beds, cleaned and rearanged stuff in the house, and a lil more. Basically i did a lot and i actually stayed up all night doing it. As you can see i’ve been working my butt off and its not getting to them. All my mom says is thank you…but i was hoping for a reward you know what i mean. I am even researching things about caring for rabbits and making sure iknow my stuff. I don’t get what i can do to get them to say yes. They said they wouldn’t even get me a rabbit for my 13th birthday which is a few months away. I wanted a rabbit as an early birthday gift…don’t you think that would be a good idea especially since i did all that work. So plz tell me if i’m doing anything wrong what i could do to make them say yes…i really need help thanx!!!

Ever wish your long time partner would Die?

I can’t believe I’m admitting this, I think I may be going crazy, but lately I’ve been wishing/ hoping that my partner would die. Yes, I’m gay, if it’s not your thing, don’t need your closed minded judgment right now, serious answers PLEASE! Sorry this is so long, I’m pissed, too.

Background: We’re coming up on our 7th anniversary and he just seems to keep getting worse… at everything. He won’t do ANYTHING around the house- he only has 2 responsibilities now, cut the grass (he fired the landscapers because he said that cutting the grass was "his time" to think and be alone and get some exercise) and take out the trash/ recycling once a week. He hasn’t done either in over 3 weeks and to get him to do it before, I had to constantly nag him. I have to do EVERYTHING else- take care of the cars, dogs, housework, laundry, cooking, home repairs (alone), cleaning the pool and I work from home 30-45 hours a week. He will only shower twice a week, I hid his toothbrush in February and he still hasn’t asked about it (eww). It’s like living with a teenager, not a 45 year old. His "excuse" is that he works 70 (or 80, depending on the hyperbole) hours a week. I worked with him for 5 years and to him, being out of the house means that he’s "working"- whether he is there or not or being productive. He was told that he has to take off 2 days a week by his company, but he still goes in 6 days a week, even though he’s not getting paid extra and makes it sound like he’s behind even though I know from experience that he’s either just driving around, socializing or on an extended break for a majority of the time. On his one day off (Sunday) he sleeps until noon, plays online games for 2 hours then has SOME errand that he just HAS to take care of that he’s gone for the rest of the day- when he was cutting the grass he would make sure that he would get home an hour before dark and make a big production out of having to cut the grass, get the front done and stop because it’s too dark. On work nights he shows up whenever the hell he feels like it from 9 until midnight and expects to be fed, eats, watches CNN, plays with the dogs and falls asleep within an hour of getting home. In the 2 hours that he’s home and awake he manages to create 3 hours of work for me between leaving clothes, coke cans, dog toys and anything that he has touched laying around. He’s 12 years older than me and looks even older. He’s gained a lot of weight and is unattractive. "Relations" are nonexistent. By the time that I clean up his messes and get drunk enough to do him (yeah, it’s that bad), he’s asleep and no longer interested. We don’t go out anymore together and when I thought about it last weekend, everytime for the past 5 years we did, I planned, arranged and paid for it. I know that he’s been unfaithful at least once and I think that he may be fooling around again but this time I don’t feel "hurt", I feel sorry for the other person (because he’s "lazy" in bed, too). I honestly don’t think there’s "love" anymore, just codependency. I’ve tried everything that I can think of to get him to care- went on strike- stopped cooking, cleaning up his messes, doing his laundry- he ate cereal and left the milk in the bowls to sour (that the dogs couldn’t get too), dishes and cans everywhere until they drew ants, made paths through the stuff he left on the floor, eventually washed his clothes when he was out (all at once) and put a red shirt in and got red stains on everything, then went out and bought all new clothes because he ruined his old clothes and didn’t pay his part of the bills that month! I tried not showering- went a week and was making myself ill, no response from him. Stopped doing dishes and he filled up the kitchen sink and counters, then the laundry sink- ran out of dishes and he washed 1 bowl to eat cereal out of and said "Do you plan on doing dishes anytime soon?" The grass is so tall the dogs won’t go to the bathroom outside, so I have to keep cleaning up messes inside. He just doesn’t seem to care and uses the house as a place to flop and expects me to do everything. When I say anything he ALWAYS says "I work 80 hours a week" and I just want to punch him in the head, because that excuse is so BS and I don’t know how to put into words how much of a lie it is and he works in an office, not like he’s a coal miner or something.

***So the QUESTION is: Has anyone else genuinely wished that their spouse would die, like in a car accident or something? I find myself daydreaming of different ways that he could die, or just not come home one night or wishing that he would just burst into flames. Is this psychotic?

And no, I can’t "just leave"- we are over 40k upside down in the house that we co-own and I consider it "my home". I looked into counseling when he was caught cheating before (was playing "sugar daddy" with MY money!, series of lies, trick beat the Hell out of his car when he found out he had no money, and DH was stupid enough to put h
And no, I can’t "just leave"- we are over 40k upside down in the house that we co-own and I consider it "my home". I looked into counseling when he was caught cheating before (was playing "sugar daddy" with MY money!, series of lies, trick beat the Hell out of his car when he found out he had no money, and DH was stupid enough to put his address in the GPS that I gave him for his birthday and he was too stupid to realize that it saves destinations…) and the area marriage counselors "don’t do same-sex counseling" and he won’t make the time anyway. When I try to talk to him he "turns off" and it doesn’t sink in, starts drinking again and makes it known that he’s taking his mood stabilizers again, trying to guilt me.
1) He can’t afford the mortgage alone- house will go to foreclosure- we will be jointly resp. for loss and I will have a foreclosure on my credit- I sold my house and put equity in DP and improvements for this one. Lot’s of other financial "issues", but I would be making myself homeless. I don’t have friends that I would go to and if my family found out that I was broke, they would disown me for being so stupid & they nvr liked him. I’ve burned through a LOT (3M+) of money in the last 7 years with him and made too many bad investments to the point that I’m barely keeping my head above water as it is (financially). No, I’m not thinking of killing him- I’m used to the thought of basically "housemates" now. I’m the type that will make sure that I live to a certain standard with or without his help, it’s just annoying. I was just wondering if I was the only person that had thoughts of someone dieing that they once loved. I CAN’T be the only 1!???

Are these things wrong to do?

My daughter is 6 years old and she was living with her father and his wife through out 2008 school year. Now she is coming back home to live with me. I had sat down with her last night and talked to her about chores she will be having. She had said that when she was living with her dad and step mom her chores there was
1. Clean the bathrooms (such as scrubbing the toilet, bathtub and sink.)
2. Pick up after all the dogs poop in the back and front yard
3. Clean her smaller brother and sisters rooms (such as clean their windows, make their beds, put all their toys away, put their clean clothes away)
4. Take the trash and recycling out
5. Do the dishes (thats including glass but not pot and pans)

She had told me those were her chores. I was extremely bothered about them. I thought a 6 year old chores was to keep her room clean, pick up after herself when she done with something…. I had talked to her dad about those chores they had made her do and his wife started yelling in the background that she’s making sure our daughter knows what its like being a mother.. SHE’S TO YOUNG FOR something like that!!! Don’t you think??? I thought 6 year olds should be able to do things, such as going outside to play… Were they being to hard on her????? My daughter acts as if she isn’t allowed to play until all chores are done. I caught her this morning making her brother (my sons) bed and cleaning his room. She was about to get the vacuum and vacuum his bedroom floor. I told her what she was doing was really nice but she didn’t have to do that and she started crying and said "if i don’t do it my other mommy will get mad." My heart sank!! I held her and told her that her other mommy doesn’t make the rules for my house, I make the rules to this house and those rules she has at her fathers are his rules. Was I right saying that???? I am so UPSET!!! I really believe my little girl whose only 6 thinks she has to do all those same chores here. I think she’s to young to do mother chores. I think that should be taught to her when she’s at least 10 or 11. Do you think her rules at her dads are overboard or do you think they are okay?????? I really thought a 6 year old chores are simple and easy and they play with dolls and stuff NOT be so focused on cleaning my house and after other people. Specially the bathroom, glass dishes, other peoples rooms and even clean up the dog poop. I just find that really WRONG!!! I wouldn’t mind if she helped but not tried to do it all on her own like she has to at her dad’s house. I really don’t like how she claims if she doesn’t do any of those her other mommy(step mom) would get mad at her and punish her. Really!!!! Do people agree with me on this or am I over reacting???

Is this funny or what?

I was browsing through Craig’s List and found this post…my husband and I cannot quit laughing, so I wanted to share with my Y!A friends!

OK I got a doberman mix dog that has a really gross problem, she will not stop eating s*@t!! She doesn’t eat her own because that would be disgusting, but likes to eat my little dog’s mess.. She’s been like this since a pup and thought no big deal, she’ll outgrow it, and I thought she had (she’s now over 1)but I look outside today and she’s acting like it’s an all you can eat buffet. It doesn’t stop there ,if given the chance, she will devour horse, rabbit, cat, whatever she can find. She’s an equal opportunity s*@t eater.The dogs eats better than me,70% of the time she’s in the house,sleeps in the bed. I love the dog, but why does she do this? I believe in recycling,but this is getting ridiculous.I don’t ask alot out of my dogs. I don’t expect them to fetch the newspaper,save me from drowning or anything like that. All I ask is they not eat animal waste and then want to shower me with kisses. All advice is much needed.

PS Obviously I’m going to have to start picking it up now,but basically wanted to know why she does it to begin with. Does she lack a certain nutrients, which is what I was kind of reading about, or is she just NASTY?

how do I make my dog vomit?

She is an 18 month old border terrier. I came home to find her looking rather sorry for herself and with a can from the recycling on the floor. There may have been something like a foil bottle top inside it which she MAY have eaten.

Earlier she seemed to cheer up a bit and had a hide chew, but now she’s a little uncomfortable – finding it hard to settle in her bed and hanging over the side of it as if wanting to press on her tummy. She’s also licking her lips more than usual.

I think she’d feel better if she could throw up. Is there anything I can do to help her to do this?

If she’s still unwell in the morning I’ll take her to the vet, but any suggestions in the meantime much appreciated.
I don’t have any peroxide in the house and when I take her out, she just sits there and won’t toilet or eat grass.
