Topic : 03/24 Moms Money Conflicts

No, it's not ALWAYS true, but it's a generalization that I think people can make confidently.

My daughter will be an only child and this is something I am very much taking into consideration. I worry about her ability to share and think about other children. He didn't make it sound like only children are DOOMED to be as such, they are just more likely to be and it's something you have to consider while raising an only child.

It's no different then having, say, a child in little league, they are more likely to be hit by a baseball then a child who isn't in little league...so you have to deal with that as a coniquence of having a child in little league.

I HAVE AN INVENTION OR IDEA I WANT TO GET OUT TO THE PUBLIC BUT DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET A LAWYER TO GET A PATENT OR HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHO TO TURN TO FOR HELP ON PRODUCING THIS IDEA ITS IN MY HEAD AND DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE I CAN ONLY WRITE ON PAPER AND NOT ABLE TO PHYSICALLY TOUCH OR FEEL IT I   FEEL LIKE ITS AN ITCH IN THE BRAIN THAT I CANNOT SCRATCH SO I NEED HELP WITH ALL ASPECTS OF GETTING MY IDEA OUT OF MY HEAD MADE REAL AND PUT ON THE MARKET COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME.

 Would YOU buy the Nail21 invention? I think i would for about $5ish dollars.. haha

there is a place called invent tech i dont know if they are a good way to go or not though but i think they give you a patent at a low price or in my fiancees case though it didnt work.  He sent his idea into them and didnt hear anything back from them and about a month or so later he seen his idea on tv as a new invention.  He wanted to do an oven glove type thing with all five fingers so you have more grip and that but either he was to late or the place is a fake.  Good Luck

thought I would pass this along. I am in the process of developing my own business. I found this website that offers a free interactive business planner. It sure gave me a lot to think about. sales, costs, marketing and a whole lot more. Good luck to all those with a dream! planning is the key!

I have a problem that is bothering me a lot. My husband and I both work full-time jobs, working the same amount of hours per week. We both have weekends off. The problem: he makes a lot more money than I do. I have a vehicle payment and I buy all of the groceries (plus any misc. items needed for the household) out of my check. I have 3 children from a previous marriage, and so does he. I pay medical bills, misc. money for school things, clothes... basically anything my kids need, out of my paycheck. He does the same for his. I do ALL of the housework (we live in a 3900 sq. foot home, so it's hours worth of work) every Saturday. I do all cooking, laundry, ironing clothes, etc. in the house. I take pride in that our house is always spotless and I always make a home-cooked meal every night for my family (all while working that full-time job). In the spring/summer months, I even do all of the mowing and trimming outside. I'm not complaining...I love doing all of these things. The problem is my husband, who comes home from his job every day and does nothing but have a few beers. On the weekends he's outside doing things, but it's things he chooses to do more so than necessary things, which is ok. What's not ok is that he makes me feel bad because I don't give him money out of my paycheck for monthly bills...house payment, electric, phone, etc. My feeling is that I take care of myself and my childrens other needs, and doesn't all of the work I do at the home have some kind of value? He makes me feel that since I'm not contributing as much as he is money-wise, that I'm not doing my fair share. The fact is that after I take care of my own bills gas to go to work and my kids, I have no money left. Where is his fair share of the household duties, and doesn't that even things out? I'm also the one cooking and doing laundry for my step-children. He solely gets the pleasure of spending time with them talking and playing when they're home with us. Other that the money, I do everything for them, too. Am I the ones who's crazy?? HELP??

Dear Doctor Phil. I have seen this one before. But I will have to see it again. I like money alot but I donot like to spend alot myself.  Momstown is not aoption for myself but I do like it even though I- 

am not a Women at all.  See you at 03:00 P.M. To 04:00 P.M. Well I had better close now. Sincer-

I can relate to your situation. The difference is that I also work full-time, as does my husband. He still talks all the time about how nobody does as much as he does or works as hard. I do all of the housework, cooking, laundry, you name it, even the yard work in the summer, and work full-time. Just because I don't contribute as much as he does financially, I don't do enough. It does help to know that there is someone else going through the same things. I wish you luck. At least you have the guts to take steps to take care of yourself...I haven't yet gotten to that point. My name is on our house, too, but that's it. He doesn't even tell me anything of importance regarding our finances. If I had to take care of everything myself tomorrow, I wouldn't know how to access anything. Good luck to you.

 first of all what an idiot husband.  What is he thinking, allowing this to go on in his house.  All she does is make the stuff, from what they said she has not tried once to actually sell those stupid things.  If I was her husband I would call the garbadge people and get them to take them to the dump and if she didn't like it, she could go with them.  But on the other hand, first before he does that, he should take advantage of Dr. Phils pros and see if he can get them sold.  I do wish them luck.

Now those two ladies, Lord give me strength.  They were acting like the horrible typical blonde.  They don't have a clue.  I have worked as a cashier in a large retailer for years and just watching and helping the store managers I know how much work there is involved.  They have those two husbands that are ready and willing to help them but all they want to do is giggle and drink and plan the fun part, give me a break, why didn't Dr. Phil have people are there that was really ready to go to work and give them the help they need instead of these morons.    Oh well, that's show business.  But to be fair maybe they got on the show so Dr. Phil could get in their face for a reality check, Stop tossing your pretty hair girls and get your hands dirty. 

I can not even imagine spending that kind of money and not even looking into the feasibility of the product. I have an invention and I have done market research and I have done a paten search for Canada and the USA and then I found out how much a paten was and stopped. I could not even spend that amount of money for something I think is a great product let alone $200,000.00 on something that I have no idea if it is even out in the market place already.
