How should my friend convince her parents to let her have a facebook?

My friend really wants a facebook, but her parents won't let her. They think she won't be safe or something. They won't even let her use this website, which is why i had to for her.How should my friend convince her parents to let her have a facebook?
Some people, especially parents, can never be convinced that social networking sites are safe, no matter what you show them. However, maybe if you're lucky you can show them how Facebook works, how it protects almost all of your profile information from anyone who you haven't allowed to see it, and how you're only allowed to friend people who you know in real life, and maybe they will be convinced.How should my friend convince her parents to let her have a facebook?
Don't tell them(?) Or say it will be private to everyone but the people she adds. Also tell them that with the recent settings of facebook, you can make it to the point where people can't even add you or see your photos. Make it in front of her parents, even tell them the password (of course change it later) . Does she not even own her own computer? Have you ever heard of lying?
just make it without telling them.








or you could make everything on the facebook private, show her parents how facebook can be adapted so that only a person's accepted friends can view her profile/photos
tell them that its super save and there are no viruses or anything.

What happens if the non custodial parent does not come to court?

What does the law say in texas if the ncp does not come to the second meeting when trying to get child support?What happens if the non custodial parent does not come to court?
It says in Texas what it says everywhere else - miss a court date and the court will assume the matter was not important enough to you to defend so the order will be made without your side of the story accordingly and you will have to move heaven and earth to vary it ... UNLESS you have a really good excuse that is provided to the court ASAP by a skilled, tactful atty the judge has no bad history with.What happens if the non custodial parent does not come to court?
There are meetings in which neither parent has to necessarily show up as long as their lawyer is there as a representative. But if it were the actual proceeding for custody, she could lose by default, giving you the children.

What's proper etiquette for the parents of the groom regarding paying for hotel rooms?

A lot of our family members will be coming in from other states for our son's wedding in New Jersey. Does today's etiquette regarding weddings say that we should pay the hotel bill for our family members?What's proper etiquette for the parents of the groom regarding paying for hotel rooms?
No!





Wedding guests pay for their own travel expenses and accomodations.





If you are supremely wealthy and your relatives are struggling financially, it would be a nice gesture, but it's not required by any rules of etiquette I've ever heard.What's proper etiquette for the parents of the groom regarding paying for hotel rooms?
I don't know what's proper, but in my opinion, groom/groom's family pays for groom's guests' rooms, and bride/bride's family pays for bride's guests' rooms. That seems the most equitable and nobody can really complain about it being unfair.
yes, that's all right. Wedding guests gesture, but it's not required by any rules of etiquette I've ever heard.

No. You can broker a special rate since so many people are coming, but they pay for themselves.
they should pay up or go home!!!!

What newer names do you think parents should stop naming their children?

What newer names do you really hate? Boy and Girl Names.What newer names do you think parents should stop naming their children?
The only names i don't like are:


adyn names too! LOL





but i don't think you should have posted this! Alot of people might have their feelings hurt. I know I actually LOVE alot of those names that you guys hate such as:


Morgan (my little sister)


and Sam is my favorite name!! (no, it is not my name, but i still love it)and alot moreWhat newer names do you think parents should stop naming their children?
Rhett, Gage, any boys names for girls like Riley, Cody, Avery and any names with really stupid spellings like Rian, Kameryn, Jaysen





edit: I totally agree with kissme. I used to be able to say my name is Jennifer and no questions we asked. Now I have to spell it for people because they try and spell it Jenifer, Jenniffer, Jeniffer, Jennyfer, Ginnyffer or something else totally outragoues!
Nevaeh is HORRIFIC. And so many people are like it's heaven spelled backwards! Its still horrible. I hate that name. They -aden names are getting old but they are still cute. The problem is that when a grown man is named Caden it's not cute, its just odd. But I must say Nevaeh wins for me on the most disgusting name ever. I also dislike names that are spelled wrong so that they are different. I.E. Alexis spelled Aleksis. Or throwing ';y';s where ';i';s should be or ';k';s where ';c';s belong or ';z';s in general. I especially hate when people spell Michael, Mikel. WTF? It seems like the younger you are when you have a child the more f'd up the name will be. People think that their child will enjoy being ';different'; but nobody enjoys their name being misspelled every single day. My name is Lindsey (which is normal) but people CONSTANTLY spell my name Lindsay or Lyndsey or (get this) Lyndzie? It's annoying and I vow to never spell my child's name in a way that it will be commonly misspelled.
All those -ayden names.

neveah is BAD.





tatum for a girl is disgusting. along with raegan.





also, i don't like most filler middle names.
Nevaeh.





Honestly, what the heck? It's just horrible on SO many levels.





ALL the -aden names need to stop. NOW. I dread to think how many -adens will be in each classroom in a few years time.





And people need to stop giving girls masculine names. It's horrid!

EDIT: Oh, and I so agree with Alice. Nevaeh is HORRIBLE, as are boy's names on girls.

What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?

I want a meal idea which isn't too expensive or hard to cook. I need to be able to cook it in the afternoon and then like heat it up in the evening also could do with an accompanying starter and dessert. Any ideas?What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?
Starter: I would go for a garlic bread. You can buy them pre-made and frozen and then you just have to pop it in the oven.





Meal: Some sort of pasta with white sauce. Fettucini Alfredo maybe.





Dessert: Tiramisu-you can also buy these pre-made. Or you can bake them a cake and write Happy Anniversary on it. Or maybe a cheesecake-you can also buy these pre made.





Then get them a nice bottle of red wine to go with at fabulous Italian dinner. If you're not old enough to buy the wine then buy some sparkling cider :). If you need any more ideas just let me know :).What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?
make a simple salad of prepared mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and maybe open a can of artichoke hearts. Assemble and then dress w/ their favorite dressing table side. For the main course serve a pasta dish. Prepare the pasta ahead of time and put in the fridge. Buy prepared pesto in the refrigerated part of your grocery store, also buy some parm cheese and sundried tomatoes. When ready to serve heat up pasta, stir in pesto and sundried tomatoes and heat up to get chill off pesto. Plate it and sprinkle cheese on top and serve. For dessert make texas sheet cake. It has to sit after-awhile after its prepared so the frosting can set up. Its delicious. Enjoy

1 cup butter


1 cup water


4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder


2 cups all-purpose flour


2 cups white sugar


1/2 teaspoon salt

pasta with a really nice sauce, followed by pavlova which you can prepare earlier and leave in the fridge. you could make a starter of melon and parma ham which is a little bit pricey but yummy and no cooking. :)
do they have a favorite? you could cook some steaks or burgers with potatoes and a simple dessert like ice cream or a cake? its hard to give advice if your not giving a price limit.
What are their favorite foods? It's a little hard to advise you on what to cook when I don't know what they like to eat or what they're allergic to etc...
Appetizer- Chicken wings


Meal- Steaks, string beans, mac n cheese, rolls


Dessert- Sundaes
bread. everyone likes bread.
Lasagna with easy mixed salad with italian dressing for desert fruit pies
Hard to anwer,

At what age do you think parents should let their kid start dating?

Some people say that kids should start dating at age 12 while other parents don't let their kids start dating until they are 18. What do you think?


Do you think that some parents are too strict when it comes to letting their kids date?At what age do you think parents should let their kid start dating?
Well my parents never had any set ';limit';


As far as I'm concerned kids should be able to hang out with whoever. Unless the parent thinks the kid isn't someone they want their kids around. Kids in elementary school will have ';boyfriends'; and ';girlfriends'; but until you get up to maybe late eighth grade or high school, these kids don't have any money to take the kid anywhere, and will most likely be just hanging out like they would with any other kid. Sure they might kiss. I think that it shouldn't matter, as long as they know there is a responsible adult present, so they won't be getting into any promiscuous situations before they're old enough. =]At what age do you think parents should let their kid start dating?
when the child is old enough to understand what it is. when they can afford to provide the money to pay for the date and gas in the car. and after they know enough about sex and how to be protected and be safe

How can u convince your divorced parents to move back in together?

The reason i need help with this because whenever i see them they don't talk and i just want things to be right because now my dad has this HUGE house all to himself and i wanna move in with him but i also want my mom to come!Those who have divorced parents because someone cheated i feel sorry because i know what you are going through.When i was little i thought my parent would be together forever and i always wanna stick to what i think.(im not bossy!)just please help me!How can u convince your divorced parents to move back in together?
I am sorry but I really don't think that they will get back together any time soon. If one person cheated on the other then the trust is gone. The person feels betrayed, hurt and will also have low self esteem about being cheated on. If they stayed together they would probably still not talk to each other or else they would just fight all of the time. This doesn't mean that you still can't love both of your parents-you should love them they are your parents, but please try to understand them and try to get along with your different life now. After my parents divorced they became really good friends, but it did take time.How can u convince your divorced parents to move back in together?
You can't force or convince them to move back in together. They obviously separated for a reason and believed that was the best option for them.





I know this is impacting you right now, but are you even pausing to think how it would affect your parents by moving back in so that they can play ';happy family'; for your sake? It could be so emotionally gut wrenching for them
you cannot convince people who don't want to be together to get back together. I wish life was like that but it's not, unless your parents want to there is nothing you can do or say that will change their minds. I hate hearing stories like yours because it makes me sad, just trying and spend as much time with both parents as possible and love them. good luck hon
Your parents will NEVER get back together. NEVER. Get over it. What you want is not going to happen and trying to convince them otherwise is pointless. They divorced for a good reason and staying together just because you want them to is selfish and pointless.
you will have to make peace with the idea they will not ever get back together, sorry but that is the reality of it, hope you do find peace in this situation
