How can I make my essay more descriptive?

  • Posted on August 31, 2010 at 4:17 am

The loud, pounding music coming from a large ornate phonograph awoke Sir Edward Windsor from a deep and rapturous sleep. Gently rising from the bed as not to awake his sleeping wife, he crossed the room, tossing on his dressing gown on the way. Arriving in the parlor, Sir Edward saw his five year old daughter tracing the first steps of a classical waltz, trying to keep rhythm of the music.

Arena had just started her dance lessons a week ago, and had rose early in her excitement to the upcoming session. The dance tutor praised her for her natural grace and patience to learn and had insisted extra time to instruct. Seeing great talent and future in their daughter, the Windsors had agreed wholeheartedly. Though they were proud of Arena, Sir Edward needed to quiet down her sudden energy for early morning practices.

Striding across the room, Sir Edward touched his young daughter’s arm when she did not notice him. Arena started as she was jerked from her daydream back to reality and quickly turned her gaze to her father.

“Arena, it is six in the morning. You know your mother dislikes being roused so early and I must say, I don’t care for it either,” said Sir Edward in a firm, but gentle tone.

Arena big, innocent blue eyes flew to the phonograph as her father lifted the needle off of the record to still the music. She looked back up to her father’s face and replied, “I am sorry, Father. I cannot read the clock, though Mister Evans has tried to teach me. I saw daylight out of my window and heard the servants, so I thought it was morning. I’m sorry, can you and Mother forgive me?”

Sir Edward looked into his child’s eyes and sighed, giving out on any strictness he had held. “Of course, my dear. Your mother did not wake up this time, but please wait until after breakfast to practice. Are we understood?” The adoring father smiled gently at his daughter.

Arena sheepishly smiled back at him and wrapped her dainty arms around her father tall legs. Happy that he was not mad, she held on to her father tightly before asking, “Must I go back to bed?”

Sir Edward laughed at his daughter’s frankness and replied after a moments pause, “Well we are both awake and still have two and a half hours until breakfast. Why don’t we both retire to dress appropriately, and meet outside in 15 minutes to race hoops?”

She beamed with excitement, bobbed her head in agreement, and then ran back up to her room. Sir Edward watched daughter as she hurried out and had a thought, She must learn manners soon, but for now, I will love her binge a child. He followed Arena up the stairs in quick steps.

What must I do to keep from losing my daughter to her father?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 10:19 pm

My 2 year old daughter is slowly being taken away from me and her brother because her father thinks it’s best for her to go to school where he lives 2 hours away and he has a lawyer who can make that happen. My daughter is not better off with her father or his side of the family. They are alcoholics and drug addicts that come out smelling clean as a rose just because they are great actors. How can I keep him from ruining our daughter’s life? He is a very selfish spitefull man who only thinks of himself and not what’s best for his little girl. The life I have made for my children is the best anyone could wish for. I have worked very hard to pull us out of the ghetto when their father left us, and was able to buy a beautiful house out in the country. Everything is clean and fresh, and the people are kind and giving here. He still lives in the ghetto and thinks it’s great. He drags her around from party to party and totally exhausts her. He’s not good for her. How do I get my kid back?

i’m a young mother getting stressed out from other family members’ issues?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 10:18 pm

My brtoher, my only brother and sibling (no sisters), got married at 23 going on 24. so for him, kinda youngish. also he had just got out of college, it wasn’t the right time really. well a year later he developed a bad habit of binge drinking, which got him 3 dui’s in the same year, 4 emergency hospitalizations bc he drank rubbing alcohol after running out of regular alcohol, and several times in rehab. his wife got pregannt about 2 months b4 i did, and about 5 months into her pregnancy, he stopped his binge drinking and seemed to have changed. well 2 months after their daughter was born, he was back to it again. his daughter, now 6 months, has wound up getting hrut from it. the day afetr ym baby who si now 3 months was born, his wife claims that he had tried to kill their daughter by trying to choke her—she told my father this and I found out through the grapevine—in a drunken rage when she was crying. then, just a week ago, in one of his drunken states, he held her and she fell, with him, and had bruises on her body so she had to be examined. that was when his wife made him go to our aprents’ hosue and he stayed for an week. well hes back there again, and he got drunk again, with the baby with him alone. my sil went to work tonight, and she called my parents and said she was frantic that he was doing something to their daughter or neglecting her. I felt bad for her, but couldnt help but wonder why if she was worried about the very life of her daughter, she didn’t just leave work? she claims she would get fired bc she was the only one there 9it’s a store in the mall0 but is anything worth more than your daughter/ I told her this and got her to leave work. But I am still in a state of shock over my brother whom Ive never known to be a ‘bad’ or violent person. I am terribly worried about my niece and something happening to her, and also him, bc of his drinking. I also feel bad for his wife and my parents, bc his wife always calls them almost every time he “acts up” (b4 their daughter was born too), which in a way is not fair to my parents bc they’re older and hes a grown man, 28 years old. anyhow, how can I help my brother?
i have a 3-month-old myself and am afraid to even leave her in the same room alone with him for a min now. (when eh comes over and I’m there with her). I am also wondering if I should offer to watch their daughter for a few days/ (her parents already have their hands full with her siblings)?
also, I know this is babys ection, but I posted this in family as well, but I wanted to psot here bc it does involve some aspects of aprenting. also bc I’m stressed otu for ym brother, and terrified of soemthing happenign to him or my niece, and feeling bad for his wife, and also my parents, bc he is their only son, how can I not let this affect my parenting/ bc also my parents were partly my support system, and now I have almost no support system, bc they are now trying to focus their energy on helping him, which I think si what is necessary, but its also scary for me
is there any1 at all who can give me some advice? also, any1 else who has similar issues with their family that is also a new parent?

ex boyfriend is homless now…feeling guilty?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Ok so, me and my ex dated for 3 years. He wasnt homeless at the time, but ill get into that later. im gonna say this flat out, he was an asshole to me. He stole my credit cards, and used them..he used my car without permission usually when i was sleeping, wrecked three of them as well. He cheated on me and was physically and verbally and mentally abusive. i provided him with a roof for alomst 2 years, food and supported his alcoholism, and i took care of his daughter for 3 years as well. I am only 21 and he is 29…we met when i was 18…this is actually quite a long story with alot of details. so ill make it short… He was living with a girlfriend for about 6 months.She kicked him out, so he moved back into his parents house. He was supposed to go to court for a felony warrent that he has, but he didnt go so his parents kicked him out, so he went to a friends house and then HE kicked him out as well. We talked on and off while he was at the last friends house, but he recently got a hold of me on facebook (he was at the library) and told me he was homeless and that he was sleeping under a bridge. Why the hell do i feel so guilty? I cant take him in…i know i cant, and i wont, i just feel so damn guilty, or am i a heartless bitch for not giving him a temporary roof over his head and helping him out? i was crying all day because the thought of him sleeping under a bridge makes me sad, even though he was such an ass to me. His status on facebook was “i wanted someone to talk to but all i heard was silence” That hit me really hard, im crying now as we speak, i dont know what to do. I know he was a f****** ass to me and everyone else, but i need something to make the guilty sad feeling go away, i need some advice. i sent him a long msg on facebook explaining why i couldnt take him in, i told the police i didnt know where he was,(theyre looking for him) and if they catch him over my house, thats big trouble for me, i told him in the facebook email that he needs to turn himself in, then hell have food and a roof over his head…i dont know what to do… :(

Mom and Daughter addicted to Halo..at my wit’s end. HELP!?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 10:22 am

Sorry this is so long..
My 15 year old daughter started playing Halo on XBox Live a few months ago. Ever since then, things have just gone downhill. It would be easy enough just to shut the game down but the problem is my mother. She lives in my house and I have supported her for 7 years. She used to watch my kids while I worked until I was laid off in January, since then I have been at home. Any way, my mom sits there with my daughter for the entire DAY (I am not joking) and instructs my daughter to say this and that and talk to this boy, say that to this boy, etc. etc. I feel my mom is living vicariously. I thought it was a passing phase until they would get up at 8am on non school days and literally stay on that thing on the couch, barely moving until 1 or 2am. In the meantime, it has been a daily struggle trying to keep the sound down. I have a 3 year old boy with special needs (sensory disorder) that is acting out the stress caused by the constant gun and death noise. Those two (mom and daughter) sit on the couch all day and one of them might get up to get food but mostly they barely eat.
Last week came to a head when my mother (totally without permission!!) took my daughter on a week long trip to go meet a boy that they met on Halo!!!!!! I called the cops and was told I could not do much since she was in the custody of my mom and was old enough to decide that. It was an awful week. They came back 2 nights ago and asked me to come pick them up from the train station. I wanted to leave them there but it’s still my daughter. I told them there are new rules in the house, this has got to stop. So what did they do?? They dragged the entire tv (flat screen and all!) console into my mom’s room and locked the door.
I am at my wit’s end. I don’t know what to do at all. This is beyond crazy. My daughter until now was a bright kid who was doing well in her online school, making A’s and B’s..she is an awesome artist and used to spend lots of time drawing and sketching. Every year for the last few years she would enter her artwork at Comic-Con for sale..this year she did not one thing. I got her final report card this week and she was failing 3 classes!!!
I am at my wit’s end and the stress is taking a toll on me. I could deal with it better except my mom is there every second of every day to “protect” her grandkid from this evil mom that is trying to “keep her from having friends”.
help, please.

How to dry up your breast milk?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 7:24 am

I exclusively breastfed until my daughter was 4 months and then started supplimenting some feedings with formula. She is now 6 months old, has solids and drinks formula throughout the day and at night I breastfeed. I want to stop breastfeeding but I get so engorged and sore. I’m afraid of blocked milk ducts or getting an infection. What is the fastest and safest way to stop breastfeeding? Should I just quit cold turkey?
I am not being pressured its just a personal decision. I exclusively breastfed for 4 months and I found it to be very tiring and stressful at times. With bottle feeding my fiance can feed her to give me a break and more satisfied with formula. I know breastmilk has many benefits.. thats why I breastfed for 4 months lol now she is 6 months old, I need more time for myself and I am going back to work right away. :)

How can I file a complaint about being mistreated by a magistrate in the Gary Indiana court?

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 7:23 am

I went to court over child support last year. I had allowed my older 2 kids to stay with their father after an earthshattering experience caused me to have to start all over from scratch. I kept my youngest 2 with me because they are not his and their father is no good. My ex and I had a good relationship for a while. I would provide any help I could with food, clothes, shoes, etc… Then he met someone and decided that I was nto doing enough and the mandatory child support order issued at the custody hearing became something he now said I owed him all along (even though he specifically told me not to worry about it). I am now working part time, going to school, and I have taken back my oldest son and am seriously considering the same with my daughter. Here is the big dilemma. He sent my son here last summer and has spoken to him maybe 3x since then, no order has been signed (he wrote a not to the school board though and told them he lives with me), and now the state is garnishing my wages for child support for my son and daughter (when he lives with me). They are taking 55% of my income, it is ridiculous. I make minimum wage, he makes a whole lot more (around 50-60k a year (thanks to the job i got him). He is now married to someone with money and the only reason he is asking for the money I owe now is that all her money goes on her 2 kids and his has to pay their bills. My daughter gets nada, nothing. I buy her shoes, clothes, school supplies, medication, toys, etc.. Up until this point he had an attorney and I didn’t. When I asked the judge to appoint a guardian ad litem to help with the kids, the GAL got me in with the pro bono commission because he said I was getting shortchanged. Now I have an attorney who wants to file a child support ammendment after the custody transfer is legal, but he wants to file for it to change from the date of filing. I was told by another Indiana atty (a child support atty) that I can request a change from the time my son moved in.
I would do this but I went to court in December and the magistrate presiding over the case (my kids father collected fraudulent welfare benefits in one city while living with his wife in another). I tried to tell this magistrate that my son had been living with me. He screamed at me to shut up. I swear I never met this man and had not been rude or done anything disrespectful. I tried to tell him 2 more times and he threatened to jail me if I said one more word (he could because of the failure to pay support). Now I have seen this man in action on other cases. 2 of my friends sued their exes for support and this man told them that the guy needed money to live and they needed to stop being greedy (in both cases the kids were over 10 and had never received support). I feel he is hateful toward women and I don’t knwo what to do. I told my atty but he said he has a good rapport with him. My whole world is riding on the outcome of this case. There is a lot more details I would need to explain to give the full story but there wont be enough room. I called CPS on their father because the one time he took my son for the day, he came back intoxicated (he is 12). My daughter has medical problems that are ignored due to a lack of money (because it goes on her daughters’ extracurricular activities). I really would have paid what I could over the years but he said it was not a problem. Then last year….wham!! I also tried to explain this to the judge as well as the fact that I buy their stuff and he sent them for the summer with not 1 stitch of extra clothing so I had to go out and buy it all over agian (even thought he stuff at his house was paid for by me); but the guy told me he did not care. I said “Your honer, it isn’t fair to ask me to pay support for a child who lives in my home that I am supporting” then he said “I really don’t care, you will pay it or go to jail” I said “I am not able to pay 75.00 a week and raise my kids” He said “So you are saying you aren’t paying it and I should send you to jail right now”. At this point I informed him I didn’t even make that much money and he said then pay half of what I did make. I have made a lot fo stupid mistakes in my life, but I have never neglected my kids. If it weren’t for me, he owuld have let them wear shoes and clothes that were sizes too small forever while he bought expensive stuff and took trips with his now wife. I just do not understand this state.
So can I file a complaint about the magistrate? If he would have listened then my check would not be garnished right now and I wouldn’t be trying to figure out how to make it till next payday on what is left. Technically according to the child support calculator I would owe him (i think it said) less than 25.00 a week, he would owe me (approx) 135.00 a week. This means after subtraction he owes me 110.00 a week for the last 8mths and plus no one gave me credit for all the money I spent buying their stuff over the years because he would not do it….A
