I read your reply of 27th of May. You quoted: \" money caant b evrything for us.\" You should never hold negative thoughts toward money. Nor should you condemn it. You should think POSITIVElY.
I am a great believer in positive thinking. I practise positive visualization everyday. You should too.

Go to Google, type in Successconsciousness forums and click the icon \" I' m Feeling Lucky.\" You learn plentiful lessons on what makes you rich.

Anyway, you CAN get rich in varied ways. If you want to know how, first try practising positive thinking and visualization. Secondly, subconscious mind often brings you ideas as how to create wealth for yourself, your husband and your family. I promise you' ll find something worthwhile and inspirational, if you go to Successconsciousness forums.

Subject:  How sad.....



I am sad that your own parents are doing this. I suggest, now that you are pregnant, to try and stay calm and out of their lives. You seem to have a nice, loving hubby. In the end that is all that matters. Parents want their children to be happy and you should ask them why they would want to make you sad. Better still, walk away from any situation that would make you argue back. It will be hard but it will make you feel so much better.

If you have had issues like this with them before, don' t expect them to change.

I suggest that you thank God for giving you a loving hubby and tell him that all the time. Start building your family life and look forward to moving away from your parents. Once you feel financialy stable, move away and once you have your own place, it is your rule and you will get the confidence to stand up to them. And it will be them coming in to see their grandchild. Even if it costs more to live on your own, it is money spent well. Until then, have patience and take care of yourself. Look forward to your bundle of joy. Be Happy.

Subject:  You should move away from your parents



I agree with what Sheila said - about moving away from your disagreeable parents. Get out your paper and pen. Start planning your life NOW. Don´ t wait until next month or next year. Plan right NOW. Plan EVERYTHING - your finances, careers, etc. Can you and your husband change jobs and opt for better-paying careers or alternatively business (or even a home-based business)? Maybe, you and your husband could buy a house on mortgage - to make investments by renting or re-selling. Or rent out just one room to an university student.

Your parents should be happy that you´ ve got a lovely man who loves and respects you - and he treats your parents with respect because of his love for you. However cold and rude your parents are to him, your man has never retaliated with insults or rows. That´ s TRUE LOVE. He behaves most like a gentleman. You are lucky to have him.

Had you married your parents´ choice of man, you might have been treated much worse - perhaps far, far worse than your parents ever have imagined. In reality, there are too many SUPER-RICH husbands who despise their wives´ parents for having less money - even marginally less. If you ever married to such a man like that, he would have insulted you with ugly names or taunts for your parents, siblings, etc. He would have continued that behaviour every day for years on end. What would your parents think of him, if he ever openly insults them, spits in their faces, mocks their life limitations and so forth?
Naturally, they´ d regret their choice of a husband for you and would have finally preferred your current husband.

Dont worry about these kind of things. Now u r pregant , so, be happy. Coz of ur lov marriage ur parents r treating like this. After the baby born everything will be ok.

Keep ur mind calm and peaceful to give a healthy born to ur baby. Concentrate more on your interested things.
