Why do men choose work over family?

You are wrong in thinking all men choose work over family. Only some men choose work over family. And, in deed, some women as well. Happiness to me, and I'm a man, is spending time with my family and making them happy. I want nothing more. For other men, happiness is found in satisfaction of their own egos. They desire a sense of self-importance aka a passion for something else besides family life. Ego is a very powerful force - and may overcome even love of one's family. As ego is not love, it can be very selfish and destructive.

What was Athena's family background?

Athena is the goddess that was truly Zeus and Metis' child but ther was a prophecy that Metis would bear a child more powerful than the father. To solve the problem, Zeus swallowed the pregnant Metis and Athena was born within Zeus. Soon Zeus was in great pain and Hephaestus--the god or goddess varies depending on story--took a double-bladed ax and cut open Zeus's head. There Athena came out, clothed in armor and fully-grown. Most do not think of Athena as Metis's child but just Zeus's because she had come from his head. Athena was the daughter of Zeus. She came out of his head, and so it is believed that her mother was Metis, who Zeus had changed into a fly and swallowed. Zeus had 2 brothers and three sisters, they were consequently Athena's uncles and aunts.

What if your friend seems very depressed and scared They ask if they can stay at your house since their father has moved back with their family?

If you are both minors and you are living with your parents it's a good idea to have your parents talk to your friend so they can help should your friend be abused in any manner. It is highly possible that your friend's father may be verbally or physically abusive and that's why he is afraid to go home or, the father could have kicked him out of the house and he is too embarrassed to tell you. This is something your parents should be told and they will know what steps to take.

Try talking to your friend and tell them you are there to help in anyway possible.

What do you do with an annoying big sister?

There's not really much to do about a big sister. They see you as twice as annoying as you see them. The best way to deal with them is to not do things you know will upset them such as asking tons of questions, hanging around them when they're with their friends, tattling or complaining about them or anything else you know will get to them. Most importantly don't take a lot of their actions to seriously. Sometimes they just get irritable just like every other person.

What do you do when your brother is a crybaby with a bad attitude?

To be quite honest this has everything to do with your brother and little to do with you personally. By that I mean, your brother is angry and disappointed in himself (though he would never admit that.) He knows he is a personal failure at this point in his own life and he wants you to feel as bad as he does.

I realize it's difficult to ignore while living under the same roof but you have to put this in it's proper prospective (understand the problem is HIS,) and try not to take it so personally. Keep the focus on your own life and avoid interaction with him as much as possible. Until he gets his own life under control his attitude isn't likely to change much.

Another Perspective

The advice presented above is very good. However, since we don't know either one of you personally and can only guess, there is always the possibility that you are a bully and because of your own behavior you perceive your brother as a "cry-baby". That is a common situation among siblings. You might want to think about that possibility, analyze your own behavior regarding your brother and others, and ask a trusted (peaceful) friend for an opinion (not one of your buds). If the response is not what you expected to hear then be calm and think about, and ask your friend for help and advice on improving your own attitude.

Why does my aunty talk with her mouth full its so annoying and gross she never says a word accept for when shes eating or she eats and goes mmmmmm delicious and stuff how do i stop her?

You could politely pull your aunt aside and ask her to stop. Always be polite, and never just be blunt. Start it out with a compliment, like,
"Aunty, I love it how you always compliment the cooking, and I don't know if you realize that you're doing it with food in your mouth. It's kind of embarrassing, would you mind stopping?"

NEVER use the world "but". It's like cancelling out the compliment.

"Aunty I love you BUT--" it sounds like you're attacking her.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

How do you decide whether to spend Christmas with the husband's family or the wife's family?

This is a hard one for most couples. There are many options. You can spend every other year with each. Or you can spend the morning with one and the evening with the other. A lot of people also spend Christmas Eve with one and then Christmas day with the other. It's a compromise either way for someone, but that is what marriage is about. You need to sit down and talk about what you would each prefer and go from there. Some couples even split Thanksgiving and Christmas between them and switch every year. This is a good idea when one or both live far away or far apart from each other. Another idea; Christmas doesn't have to be celebrated on the 25th. One family can celebrate a little late or early.

Oh, oh, this is a tough problem in many families and here is what you can do:

Alternate years! One year either go on Christmas Eve (or Boxing Day) to one of your parents, and the next year alternate. That's the only solution to this difficult problem I have found.

If you all live close, then perhaps you could have one large Xmas dinner (get everyone to bring something for dinner ... someone could bring a salad, another the dessert and so on.) If you have to travel, then I suggest what I said in my opening statement.

Merry ChristmasMarcy

My parents live in town as do my wifes.

Last Christmas we had 20 people over for Christmas at my house.

My wifes sister feels like that was to many people and even though with both families over, this year would only be 13 people, she has convinced my wife to move Christmas with my family (Mom, Dad, Brother, 2 kids) to the 26th.

So we are now arguing about why it is MY family that has to move to the 26th and not hers. I don't see a big deal between 8 people and 13. Am I being selfish? Or should I tell my sis-in-law that's my fam is coming Christmas day and if she doesn't like it, she can stay home.

--Today, My wifes Mom (I work with her) came to me and asked me how I felt about this Christmas,because she is not comfortable with the seporate christmases and she is going to call my wife and tell her it is everyone on the 25th, or they arnt coming. So it looks like it is all just my Sis-in-Law that is the problem--

My dad is always angry at you starting arguments and your always fighting but then when your mum comes home he says its your fault so she wont get angry at him what do you do?

Tell your mom, stay away from your dad so he cant start arguements

Just don't talk to him, don't be around him, its just the best way

If you are quiet and your mom sees this, she wont blame you because she will know there is something up

And also, your the kid, your dad is the adult, he should act like an adult, and even if you do start it, he shouldn't react like a child

What about social relationships in children with ADHD is true?

Well I have ADHD myself and can tell you it is the opposite of asperger's disease. Kids with ADHD are very excitable (of course),very outgoing,very fun to hang out with. I'm not basing this on myself. I know several friends who have ADHD and I have talked with my doctor about my adhd and can garantee that these are the characteristics of a person with with ADHD. Well the positive characteristics. The negative include the following: obnoxiousness,rambunctiousness,blurting out things,getting distracted really easily,forgetting things quickly,and sometimes a total hyperactive meltdown where the child could be acting completely out of control but cannot help it. So generally the child could be just weird and obnoxious and hyperactive or just fun and crazy. Hope this helps.
