You don't pay rent, you don't pay a bill, you don't even buy food!

It appears that the mother's shock and grief are manifesting in a way that's neither fair nor kind to your granddaughter. As his blood relation, she may be able to dictate who has access to her son, depending on the hospital's policy. Your granddaughter may want to reach out to hospital administration to see what their policy is and if there's an option for her within its scope.

My life now is much lower key. I make enough to pay my bills and enjoy a life out of the office. Here is the thing: I bought a lot of stock for my nephew, "Jonah," my brother's son.He was the only kid on both sides of the family, and I wanted to provide for him. The stocks went really well. Jonah has over $100,000 set aside for college when he graduates in a few years.

"The fact of the matter is that almost everyone over the age of 18 needs some estate planning documents," he said. "It may not be anything fancy, but having documents can spare your family a lot of financial and emotional suffering at a time that may already be trying."

Care and Feeding is Slate's parenting advice column. Dear Care and Feeding, Have a question for Care and Feeding? Submit it here. My parents have always had some issues with respecting boundaries that my wife "Mia" and I set for our two boys, ages 5 and 7, but last weekend they did something that has my wife ready to cut them off for good.

My son "Emmett" is 29 years old and getting married towards the end of the year. His girlfriend, "Leila," is a lovely woman, and I do wish them happiness. But I also don't want to go to the wedding. Over the years, I've become firmly convinced that marriage is an inherently unfair practice that subjugates women to men, and that we would be far better off if we dropped it in the ashbin of history alongside other revolting concepts like slavery and child sacrifice.

My mother insists that Aiden can stay with friends or at a motel! The reason? They want to visit with their dogs, and Aiden is severely allergic to dogs and cats. Dear Not a Hotel, Even if I were willing to entertain this idea (which I am not), the entire house would have to be cleaned after the dogs left, and even then there would be no guarantee that Aiden's allergies wouldn't be triggered. It's not a risk I'm willing to expose him to.

My kids' maternal grandfather (my father) is declining rapidly with dementia. Christmas is right around the corner, and making plans has been a last-minute thing due to figuring out whether maternal grandparents would be able to host Christmas. In the previous 25 years, we have worked around the schedule of [my daughters'] paternal grandparents and [my] sister-in-law. This is the first year that we informed my mother-in-law that we would be going to my parents' [house] on Christmas Day.

By the grace of G-d, my daughter survived breast cancer. The woman who used to practice yoga, jog, and not keep red meat or chips in the house, is now drinking a glass of wine more nights than not and spending her days off binging shows and movies. Her logic is, she was healthy before and still developed cancer, why not indulge?

I thought the penultimate episode of this season might be about putting the pieces in place for an explosive finale, so I was admittedly caught off guard by the tragic ending. Also, as a person of Donnie Darko experience, playing Gary Jules's cover of "Mad World" over the credits is the easiest way to wring tears out of me - it almost feels like cheating. I can't really be mad, though.

After a recent gathering for my granddaughter's graduation, I am feeling depressed and upset. Unflattering pictures of me were taken during the event and later posted on social media. I wasn't asked, and I think it was done maliciously by the grandmother on the other side. She posted no candid pictures of herself, only ones that were planned and staged. I don't feel I can ask that they be taken down without causing a rift.

"Nichole" was 10 when I started seeing her at her school. The school counselor reported that Nicole was talking about wanting to "cut myself in half," prompting concern. During our first session, she reported that she lives with her mom during the week and visits her dad every other weekend. This is common for many kids whom I see, as we live in a time of many diverse examples of family and parenting. In therapy, she began to talk about feeling scared to mention her dad around her mom. When asked why, she shrugged and said, "Because it'll make her mad."

My first marriage left me a wealthy widow where we had several vacation homes but sadly no children. My second husband has two adult sons and a thriving business that is basically his third child. Despite us both being retired, he is still very involved in the business. Neither of his sons ever showed interest in taking over, so my husband has been approaching his lifelong employee, "Mike," to take over.

The situation escalated when a phone conversation about finances, including a loan to my older sister Carolyn, was leaked without my knowledge. Mitzi recorded the conversation without my consent, and now both sisters are upset with me.

A family source revealed that Mr Gibbon and his son no longer speak, and last year Mr Gibbon Jr was jailed for trying to drive a car at his estranged father.

Lisa Flaherty stormed out of the packed room, visibly angered. The suggestion that she had been in a relationship with Joseph Grogan since she was 16 had caused his family "endless anxiety". Solicitor and senior counsel Damien Tansey noted, "It puts Joe Grogan into the realm of a paedophile."

"You said, 'I'm fuming over this,'... This is a total disregard. ... I love you and I want to make this work, but this frustration isn't worth it.'"},{

Cane Buckley's day takes a dark turn when he learns about his father's cruel torture, pushing him into a dangerous confrontation with the Parker family.

I think house flippers are a scourge, a huge reason why prices are becoming so high and may have been a huge factor in the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

The rift in the Beckham family is supposedly because of Brooklyn's brother Romeo's relationship with his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Sources have claimed that David and Victoria are on Romeo's side.
