I understand your worries. Does your father have any other options for medical care? If he doesn’t, and most of us don’t, you can help by helping him keep on top of things, watching him for symptoms, going to Google University, and being the daughter at his appointments with lots of questions. He might not always…

Its 10am Boxing Day and I am just about to start work.

Yikes...

Project Secret Home Improvement is going AMAZING!! After a rocky start my first project of repainting the range hood turned out great and makes such a huge difference in the room! Here’s before and after:

I could see him not wanting to have any more involvement with the woman (who seems to have an ulterior motive) unless he has to. Donating to research or an infertile couple guarantees that he has no further financial and personal responsibility.

When embryos are donated, parental rights are legally severed. But if either bio parent decides to keep the embryos, then the other parent is automatically on the hook for child support. In just about every state, it's impossible to sever parental rights before birth, except in the case of donated eggs, donated sperm,…

But so does the ex partner wanting to use them without his consent

Her argument is that the embryos are already people. So having them given to answer ther couple is legally like adoption. no child support, no constant crazy interactions with ex. He’s fighting on two fronts. it.actually reminds me of Sherri Shepherd’s case.

I disagree completely. There are good reasons to be fine with having an adopted child out in the world but not to want one to be born if you will have ties to them. Having a child with her could lead to future financial obligations, more years of custody negotiations, or simply complicate his relationships with the…

I don’t think so, when you create and store embryos you can request for the unused ones to be donated to another couple. I think there is a possibility that if the ex-wife/mother used these embryos he would feel compelled (or be legally compelled) to have a relationship and/or pay child support. Whereas if they were…

Idon’t think it’s odd, wouldn’t is basically be like putting your kid up for adoption? He doesn’t want another child with this woman but he’d be perfectly fine if he could help out another couple.

I see a huge difference between letting your ex take the embryos to have more kids and donating them to an infertile who you will never see again. Presumably he will maintain a relationship with his twin boys. How awkward would it be to pick up the kids for dad’s weekend and see your other biological kids hanging out…

How is it vindictive though? If she truly believes these embryos are already little lives (they’re not, but she seems to regard them as such), then this offers a solution that allows them to be used and eventually become actual living beings without forcing him to become a parent with his ex against his will.

He may have reason to believe she’d be unsuitable or even dangerous to children.

I know! I love how everyone is polite and not super ragey and competitive like most cooking shows. The Great British Bake Off is such a delight with Mel and Sue and I love learning about the history behind cakes and pastries.

The media reaction to Nadiya this year was utterly breathtaking, not to mention how much she was loved on Twitter. I think this calls for a Nadiya gif...

I’ve been describing this show as the most British show to have ever Britished. Even the description of what the competitors do in their spare time is just amazing - like the one who builds TINY HOMES FOR HEDGEHOGS WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. My bf could not stop making fun of me...until he sat down for one episode and then I…

There’s about thirty seconds after she takes a bite of anything where, just based on her facial expression alone, you have no idea if she loves it or hates it. That alone is drama enough for the show.

Ohhhhhh the joys of GBBO. It’s my favourite time of the year when it comes back. And Madeleine I knew I loved you but the above confirmed it. The above is everything I love about that show. More importantly it’s like a beautiful antidote to the mean spiritedness and nastiness of shows like the X Factor which is now…

I just love Richard, he makes me so happy. He seems like such a sweet humble man who just loves to bake. So cute! Love this show!
