Is itt customary to say happy anniversary to your parents on their anniversary?
It has been so for more years than I can remember. In fact I would say that it is more important than saying happy birthday. Your birthday means that you have reached another year in your life. Anniversary means that a couple have been together for another year. Whether it is their second or sixtieth anniversary, it means that they have faced all of the trials that a marriage can bring about; raising children, buying a home and finally paying off the last installment. Settling arguments and all of the tribulations and happy times that couples go through.
What to do if your family think your are crazy?
I think that this depends. What have you done to make your family think you are crazy? Do you think you are crazy? Is it crazy in a good sense or in a bad sense? How do you feel when others think you are crazy?
Perhaps your family just feels you are different from them. It's probably nothing much to worry about. But if you are negatively affected by this feeling greatly, I think it's time to ask your family members about it. And if you feel mentally disturbed to a great extent, possibly seeking the help of a psychiatrist would be a good idea.
But for some teenagers today, they don't really care about what others think of them. If you belong to this category (you probably don't, seeing as you have posted this question), then I don't see the point of your question. Seriously, being dubbed crazy just because you are different and unique is stupid. Lots of us today actually enjoy being called or thought of as crazy.
So don't worry too much about it. But if you really care, then go talk to your family. And if it gets too serious, go to a psychiatrist. That's all the advice I can give. Hope that helps.
A family pattern is when something is learned from an older person of the family. For example, a young boy, of the family, could see a uncle hit his wife. The young boy grows up and starts hitting his wife.
I'm terrified of losing my mom shes not even sick but im scared of her dying can anyone help me?
I went thru a period of time with this- I'm not even sure why. I think it was mostly because mom and I are best friends., I rely heavily on her for support, for a good talk and the closeness she and I share...sometimes I catch myself thinking "What if she were gone? What would I do?" And like you, there's nothing wrong with her- I hope she lives a long, blessed life... so what do you do in situations when you face this fear?
I personally breathe a prayer of peace. God is in control- I am not. I have no control over if and when my mom leaves me, and so I choose to trust in Someone who does- it's really simple and yet I often forget to turn to this Resource in times of trouble

Is it bad for a teenage girl to not fight with her mother?
No its not bad! Its great that you have such a good relationship.
In this particular situation, I would ask the question in English.
How do you be a father to a step son?
- Often the step son misses his biological father; some sons resent another man coming between his mother and the son. It takes patience and time to win over a step son. Don't try to take the place of the biological father, but treat your step son as a friend. Perhaps go camping or fishing together even if he doesn't want to go so you have a one on one with him. If he is into sports then be there for the games as much as possible; help him practice if you can. In time he will mature and also warm up to you. It is also wise to let his mother do the disciplining at the present time simply because you are not his biological father.
If you are asking how many of their plants are flowers and how many are vegetables I believe the answer is 30 flowers and 20 vegetables.
50 (total number of plants) * 60% (percentage that are flowers) = 30 flowers
50 (total number of plants) * 40% (percentage that are vegetables) = 20 vegetables
The family is from the Middle English word familie which was derived from the Latin familia, meaning household or servants of a household.
If you convert to judaism does that mean you have to convert your kids to judaism?
There are three things required of all converts:
1) Mitzvot - they must believe in G-d and accept upon himself to observe mitzvot (commandments) of the Torah.
2) Milah - Male converts must undergo circumcision by a qualified "Mohel." If he was previously circumcised by a doctor, he then undergoes a ritual circumcision.
3) Mikveh - a ritual bath linked to a reservoir of natural water.
A child under the age of 13 cannot fulfill one of the conditions: accepting upon himself to observe mitzvot. So while conversion can begin before the age of 13, it is not fully complete until their 13th birthday.
Children of proselytes complete the milah before conversion. The mikveh is completed at the same time the parent appears before the beit din and the child is given a Hebrew name. However, prior to the child's 13th birthday, they are informed that they are converts in which they are given the opportunity to renounce their conversion or demonstrate their commitment to Judaism.
The key here is choice. When an adult completes conversion to Judaism, they enter in a covenant that cannot be broken. They do not have the option to "opt out" while children under the age of 13 can. Yes they are considered Jewish when their parents are accepted by the Beit Din and all complete their milah and mikveh.
It is just important that parents realize that their children are allowed this choice ... It makes raising a convert all the more important to ensure that they end up choosing this life.
A parent can convert him/herself and lead/raise their children to a certain point, but the child must take that final step on his/her own.

The previous answer is not true.(See related links for the source of this article.)The conversion of an infant or child has Jewish legal sanction. According to the Talmud (Ketubot 11a), it is permissible for a religious court (a beit din) to convert a gentile infant. The basis in Jewish law is that it is a privilege to be Jewish (Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh Deah, 268:7). Therefore, a minor can be converted even though not mature enough to understand the act because making the minor Jewish is performing a favor for that infant or child.
Jewish law also allows those people converted as an infant or child to renounce the conversion when they reach maturity. After girls reach 12 or boys 13, converted infants and children can legally reject the conversion and go back to their previous religion. If they accept Judaism or are silent, they are deemed to be considered adult converts.
One potential problem for parents seeking to convert minors is that not all movements accept conversions performed by rabbis in other movements. Thus, Orthodox rabbis, for example, do not, in general, accept conversions performed by non-Orthodox rabbis. Conservative rabbis, in general, accept all Orthodox conversions and all Reform conversions, if the Reform conversions conform to the Conservative legal requirements discussed below. Reform rabbis, in general, recognize all conversions performed by Orthodox and Conservative rabbis. Because of this confusing situation, parents ought to discuss their choice with their rabbi.
Conversion Procedure for ChildrenThe conversion of a female infant or child according to Conservative and Orthodox practices only requires tevilah(immersion in a ritual bath called a mikveh). A male child also requires immersion in the mikveh. Prior to the immersion, the male must have a brit milah (a legal circumcision ceremony performed by a mohel, traditionally an observant person trained in circumcision). If possible, this should be done on the eighth day after the birth of the boy. If a circumcision has already been performed, a drop of blood needs to be drawn in a ceremony called hatafat dam brit. A Hebrew name can then be given to the child, though some wait to give the name until after the tevilah ceremony. There is usually a wait of a couple of weeks between the circumcision and the immersion.A beit din, usually consisting of three rabbis, is convened for the immersion. Parents can enter the mikveh. If the children are old enough, they recite the needed prayers; if not, a rabbi does so for them. After the tevilah ceremony is completed, and a name chosen if one has not already been selected, the child is declared by the beit din to be Jewish.
Reform requirements for the conversion of infants and children vary. Some rabbis may simply have a naming ceremony, while others will include some or all of the same requirements used by the Orthodox and Conservative rabbis.
For detailed explanation of all of these ceremonies, it is crucial to consult a rabbi.
The conversion of infants and children is, of course, a moment of joy for parents, but it is also such a moment for the entire Jewish community. New children add precious lives to the community and bring with them that most valuable idea of hope for the future.
Keep your mouth shut, it's not your business. Should you become the step mom, it will be your business when the child is in your home so respect the parents opinions now and there's a better chance that yours will be respected when/if the time comes.
A family consisting of a married couple and the children or one or both spouses from their previous relationships. The couple may then have more children, leading to half-siblings. It is also known as a 'blended' family or more commonly, a step family.
In what ways can people in a family be similair to each other?
People in a family can be similar in many ways.
They can be similar in looks: same color hair, eyes, or skin. They can have similar features such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. They can have other similar physical features such as height, bone structure, shape and size.
Then, there are similarities you cannot see. Families often have the same gene structure and similar DNA. This can result in having similar medical conditions or chances of developing them. Some families share abilities such as artistic or vocal talent and athleticism. However, not all similarities are based on physicalities. Families can share similar personal characteristics such as sense of humor, religious and political opinions and views, and traits such as punctuality, perserverance, and/or emotional outlook on life.
Even families that are not biologically related can have similarities: Mannerisms, speech patterns, and habits.
It really doesn't matter how much they have that is similar, it is often more about what they don't want to live without.
That depends on how she needs help. Houswork: dishes, laundry, sweeping, vaccuming, cleaning your own room, cooking. Dating: well, there's not much I can tell you. Try to find what she's interested in and take it from there. Bills: hire her an accountant, get a job, help her get a job, (if it's REAL bad) file for bankruptcy. Anything else should be self explanitory.

Help you get your little brother to shut his little pie hole he calls a mouth?
It depends on how old he is. If he is older you could give him video games to play and if they are younger, food tends to work.
yes, because your family needs your help. But if your a baby that would be acceptable.

What do you do when your mother is mean?
You might think that your mother is being mean, but often what seems like a mean mom is just a caring mom that is trying to set some limits for her kids. If your mom is really mean, like if she hits you or does other things that hurt you, tell an adult that you trust about it so you can get some help.
What does it mean for people to share common interests?
This can mean almost anything, but since that answer isn't very helpful, we'll break it down a little for you:
To have 'common interests' could possibly be defined as having something which both individuals are interested in to the extent that a conversation on the subject with equal and easy input from each individual could take place. - i.e. you both know about something which you both like or dislike well enough to have an animated discussion over.
Examples of common interests:
- political (i.e. same ideas about governments, MPs, PMs or Presidents, etc.)
- films/movies (you like the same ones / same types or genres)
- foods (share favourite foods)
- places (you've visited or would like to visit the same countries, cities...)
- exercise
- sports (e.g. you both go horse-riding)
- books
- animals
- religion
Etc.
