She looks fabulous and the pony is darn cute also!

I wouldn't worry as much about the cost of the car as what the cost of her insurance is going to be. I sell insurance and if you have as many drivers as cars and one of the drivers is a new driver, you are going to be paying ALOT of money. Your daughter will have to be rated as a primary driver and she is probably going to get inexperienced driver surcharges on top of a higher premium for the vehicle she is rated on. Just my .2 cents!

My now 20 year old was an anxious child. We didn't go to a counselor. I just let her know that her fears are real and I just spent alot of time holding her

The Long Shot

So sorry. Give your daughter a really tight hug from my family

This might get long so bear with me. I am a 50 something year old single mom of two really great girls. One is 27 the other 20. They've honestly never given me a day of trouble and for that I am so thankful and grateful to God. I became a Christian at the age of 33. I was pregnant with my youngest and not married. Her father and I were going to get married though. until I got saved. until my over the top (I didn't know it then) born again SIL and her sister got ahold of me. I thought this SIL was the greatest thing ever and I believed and hung on every word she said. for 12 years. In those 12 years I allowed her to be my god. I didn't know I was doing it. she was very active in our church almost like the female leader if you will even though she wasn't but everyone liked her and everyone wanted to be around her and I thought I was pretty cool because I was able to be around her. Well, fast forward to the last few months or so I've come to realize that this SIL is a huge mess and most of what she told me about the Lord was wrong...at least about the Lord that I want to know. She showed me a lot of things about her "lord" but I don't want to know that one. that one is mean and angry and if you don't do the right thing nothing is going to work out. well in my life today, it seems like nothing is working out and I feel myself praying less and less and trying to just survive on my own self and decisions. I don't really pray anymore because it doesn't seem to work. I know, I know He is right here with me but when it seems like none of my prayers are being answered and things keep getting more and more overwhelming, praying is the last thing I think to do because I'm just thinking about making it through one more day. I am afraid that I am going to walk away from Him. I'm afraid that he's mad at me because I'm allowing my 20 year old to date an unbeliever. I'm afraid that He's mad at me because I don't really like people anymore(!) and I'm afraid that He's mad at me because I just feel sad and overwhelmed so much lately. I keep going back to what I was told I had to do back them....leave my daughter's father, not talk to my unbelieving family members (most of them are unbelievers), I'm rambling now because I have so many things I want to say and I can't think of any of them now but the bottom line is that I'm just so tired of trying so hard to be the Christian that I think I have to be that I don't even want to be one anymore. I just got another text that yet another thing hasn't worked out. I know He works all things out for the good of those who love God and that He won't give us more than we can handle. I know all of that and I know one day I will look back on all of this and say "what was the big deal" but it is a big deal right now. I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread and I don't see the ground that I need to hold me up. do any of you have any idea what I'm talking about? edited to add...I don't have a relationship with that SIL any longer and as for my daughter and her relationship, I am fine with it and that makes me feel guilty. she isn't going to marry this person and I know she is probably the only believer in his life so I feel like her good values and morals will make an impact on him so I kind of push her on this subject of seeing him. we have started going to a new church but I have such a large wall built around me that I don't know if I can let down any of my walls. this just sucks really, really bad. I don't want to listen to praise music or read (I do read my bible every day but more of a duty than a pleasure (and I feel guilty about that too)). I just want to cry all day long and that's not really possible, I have to keep up a good front for my girls because they don't need to see my like this.

If you can afford to buy your daughter a horse i suggest you do it. It is so much more than just a girl and a horse.

Can you tell me how they differ from 20 year old girls when it comes to the dating mentality? Does that make sense?!

No no no. No brown shoes with those colors.

Oh and I will inherit the house.

My mom.has dementia so nothing is in her name anymore as far as I know. I do have power of attorney. This is so overwhelming and I'm just trying to find a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

Anything about elder care type stuff? We live with and take care of my elderly parents in their home. Everything is in my dad's name (my mom's name came off the house 4 years ago). Dad is in the hospital and might not come home/live. (Prayers are welcome especially for his salvation) my question is if my dad doesn't make it, can we put my mom in a nursing home and not lose the house? There is no way I can care for her without my dad's help. Does anyone know about this? I know I have to talk to a lawyer and i will but I can't until Monday and I was thinking about it now.

Thank you all so very, very much. He isn't doing much better at all. now they are talking surgery, going up through his groin with some super glue like stuff but the consequences are stroke or going blind in one eye, etc. gee whiz this is so scary and tiring for so many reasons. Lord please help our family.

Poor thing. He's 87 years old...yes I know he's "old" but he doesn't act or look it, until now. He recently got out of the hospital for blood clots. He was put on a blood thinner and now he is back in the hospital (since Tuesday) because he gets nose bleeds due to the blood thinner due to the blood clots. He had a transfusion because his blood count was so low. I feel so badly for this man. He's never been sick a day in his life really. He isn't a believer either. For those who pray I am asking from the bottom of my heart that you will pray and ask anyone you know who prays to pray. This man is so awesome and I detest seeing him this way. Thank you very very much

She is 20 and it's an AYR8

My daughter rides/shows hunter jumpers. She has a Charles Owen. When she was younger she had the JR8. If your daughter is going to show in the hunter/jumper world she cannot wear a Troxel, even though they are great helmets!

I didn't read all of the posts but ALL of the ones I did read are very rude. You guys really suck. I was a section 8 tenant for many years and NEVER were my places filthy or trashed. I am so offended by some of you perfect human beings. Must be incredibly awesome to live in glass houses....hopefully you will never find yourself on Section 8

Aykm? A heater? I have a beta on my desk at work. He lives in a large vase with about a half gallon of water. I clean the bowl about once every two weeks. He gets two pellets a day and he is thriving!

Red squirrel....you are incorrect. I live in NY and sell insurance. Insurance follows the vehicle and not the person. I have never heard of what you are talking about. My company requires a driver to have had insurance in his/her name or have been listed on an auto policy for at least a year before we can write them theor own policy. Young drivers (especially boys) are going to pay ALOT of money but I'm sure everyone knows that!

2014 and ty lawana!
