    Now I am debating whether I should get a subtitle myself (be it my own creation or ask the mods to think of something)

    They could have the same wants but I feel the parents aren’t looking for a son-in-law, they are helping their daughter find a husband (if they were looking for a son-in-law then they would be looking to marry the boy-kinda a reverse situation to someone marrying a girl for her family)

    Just my opinion

    I have watched (and still do watch) most of the shows mentioned here, and I am surprised that the cosby show has only been mentioned once. It is most definitely up there with I love lucy and the honymooners (and no it doesn’t show our age at all (I haven’t even been on this earth for two decades just yet (I am getting there-quite close actually)

    I am confused. Who said anything about wanting to marry the boy’s parents? And how, in any way does the question imply that at all?

    To answer the OP, I don’t think there is any overall set standard, nor do I think anyone can make such a thing. Each person is different and some people are looking for an immature person (sometimes because they are immature themselves) and others are looking for a very mature, settled person. While on the other hand you have people who prefer learners to earners or you have people who prefer earners to learners then you also have those people who prefer a combination of both (and within that you have different ratios). Unless the girl and her parents (which guess what? There are different kinds of parents also) are on the same page the likelihood of them wanting the same type of boy are slim. Let me as a question though. As much as a person would like both the girl and her parents to be happy, sof sof is the boy marrying the girl or her parents?

    I am not trying to push here and I am not exactly qualified to give advice but as a person who went through (and sometimes it still is hard and may feel like I still am going through) the “bumps” myself I did find that as uncomfortable as it may be you must talk with someone or else as maynish put it you are destroying yourself. Now if you can get someone anonymous (which I didn’t) good and fine but if you can’t, as hard as it may be, go speak to someone you know, a real friend/mentor/etc, the type of person that no matter what happens will always be there (I spoke with my father and my rebbe and I feel that not only do they not respect me, on the contrary they think more of me for coming to talk to them. This is not saying that I have no problems calling them up/talking to them in person but there are times due to the fact that I have already spoken to them, that the next time is easier)

    May Hashem help in all that you need

    Find something else to concentrate on? (I started to do it but only after healthy living came to a point of habit that I didn’t have to pay as much attention to it-and no I haven’t lost much anything except my inability to function (run, jog, bike, etc) properly)

    Not exactly the best place to turn to for advice rather than just hashing things out but in my opinion if she feels that by having a rich zivug it would be a positive addition in the marriage then I don’t see any reason not to (simply put if it is for good reasons then why not?)

    I don’t mind doing laundry, dishes, or putting away groceries (or vacuuming, sweeping, etc) but it seems like an odd occupation for a guy (similar to babysitting which for some reason is a “girls job”) (unless it is for someone I know then I don’t feel odd doing it-hey for all you here who don’t like these chores why don’t I come and do them for you? I’ll give you a special CR discount 😀 )

    I don’t see the problem if you use a second name because it is understood that they are just representing what you are feeling at the time and you are being open and clear about what you are doing (just don’t pull a joseph and start talking to yourself (or as my father is fond of saying, there is no issue with talking to yourself just so long you don’t answer yourself)

    as jaymatt pointed out, this isn’t an issue with lefties, it is a difficulty in helping the kid understand that he can’t do things exactly as his parents do it

    Jaymatt19: there are seforim that deal with this or you could learn halacha (kitzur shulchan aruch, mishnah berurah, etc) and work out for yourself which situations require the right hand regardless

    Real-brisker: some times when halacha mentions using the right hand it only means the dominant hand not necessarily the actual right hand and it can be confusing (there are quite a few “switcharoos” in my family)

    I was told that the proper way to do things is go through the parents and only go through the kids if the parents are being obstacles or if the kids are entirely independent (and even then people go through the parents) them again it depends on your circles

    Ok, eclipse I will oblige, you get to eat all the posters 😀 (only if you like paper though …) Though I am not authorized to say it being that I can’t be a judge (unless I become a mod before the contest starts or during if I haven’t guessed yet then again I don’t really like paper) lol

    Hot (and I mean as hot as you can take without burning yourself) shower, physical exertion to “good tired” tire you out and to relieve any stress (physical/emotional known/unknown), check mattress/pillow/bedding if it is comfortable, making sure that the linen on the bed is always fresh (never more than say at most a couple weeks old) can also help (I have personally have experience with this). This is the best I could come up with off the top of my head (as I head off to travel to the land of nod myself)

    Wow this is a shock. And my writing style (to my chagrin) has changed in my absence (from not being here for so long apparently the way I write has been allowed to change or maybe I changed) though I don’t feel that my interests have.

    ICOT-based on my statement I would like to put forth that if a person changes (which I hope joseph will for the better) they can legitimately come back without being recognized for who they were

    Wait I think I just figured out what was meant with the title. It is an over tired mother (along with one of the kids smacking their sister while the mother is telling them not to) am I right?

    Hmm I say it definitely works both ways (male or female) I don’t have a wife yet but I will definitely keep this in mind. One thing though (as chayav pointed out) what does this have to do with the title of the thread? (And what happened to my usual lebedig self? I used to fly all around with non-serious comments (ok on occasion there were some serious ones-mods I know this isn’t the place for this just gimme a bit and I should be back into the swing of things please?)

    Why am I making a mistake? A person was put into this world to live in this world (obviously (using the physical) in service of Hashem) Hashem doesn’t want a person to be a hermit on a mountain top that defeats the purpose of having been put here in the first place
