What Would You Do?--Instructions:

Each person poses a situation (real or made up) with the ending, WWYD? The next person says what they'd do & then poses their own situation.

Here is the last entry from WWYD #1:

Maybe ask her if she is having trouble figuring out how to put it together the way he wants. If she says yes, help her in person, with one paper, explaining what you are doing and why so she knows how, tell her to let you know if she has any questions, then only proofread in the future.

You have your hair done and you love it then, but it has to be done every day and you just can't get it to look anything like your hairdresser did it. People tell you it looks nice but you really don't like it. WWYD?

[misty]

Not much you can do really. I've had it happen to me before & I just do the best I can until it grows in. Next time, I'd go to a different hair dresser!


You see kids walking to a different bus stop than they should be at. When you ask them why they say the kids at their stop are being mean. You know at least one of the kids & you know his mom will punish him more severely than necessary if she finds out, busy roads the kids are traveling. WWYD?

I would give them a ride in my van, no wait I've got to clean it out first. Yikes, what is all this junk ! Paper - Paper EveryWhere . . . By the time I finished cleaning it out I think they'ed be very Late for school.

You come home and see the lights are on in the basement (AGAIN) so you go ask the usual suspect ~ Yes # 1 son. Your spouse is nearby and hears you. She responds (somewhat hostilely) ''Why are you grilling him, don't you know how that makes him feel.'' She then goes on about how her Father was allwas telling her things like this and when she left home she was still angry at him about it.

Whoa, did I get an EyE-Full (somewhat) of how her childhood/teen years might have been. So after it over for a few days, this is what I decided.
If I find lights left on, fans still running etc, I'll just mention to the kIds, when spouse is out or out of ear-shot something like this, '' Hey I'm sure you didn't leave on/running on purpose, but could you think about trying to turn it off next time''.

I'd do EXACTLY what you did John! It sounds like you found a way to keep the peace yet still get your message through to the kids!



Your child started a website about rodents but no ones coming to it. You dont want to advertise TOO heavily & have a bunch of strangers who could be weirdo's come to it, but you want her to have SOME success with it. WWYD?

[Tigger]

I think, I would advertise just a little bit more than I was. Hopeing that no weirdos come in. And if they do I sure hope we can boot them off. But I guess it is just to try and see what happens. I am not sure what the best answer is but all y ou can do is try. Sorry Dawn I was not that much help??? That is a tough one because I know where you are coming from.




Ok here is one for you all.


Ok you have this phone company you sign up for and you get it. Ok you have to have phone line in order to have there internet. And there is not to many internet sites out here. So you take this one you never plug in a phone to it because all you ever use is you cell phones, and after over a year you get you bill. and there are two charges to 1-900 and they are over 100.00 each, so you call the phone company and dispute them and they accept it but the next month there are 2 more on there so WWYD

I'd get a new phone company.

Your husband has been snoring EVERY NIGHT lately and you are getting tired of sleeping on the couch.
WWYD?

[misty]

Buy him those nasal strips! If that doesn't work, take him to the Dr . If you find no medical solution, then tell him its HIS turn to sleep on the couch!

your 13 year old wants to start going places without you (the mall, kennywood, the movies) & just with her friends instead. The friends are allowed & their parents don't seem to mind, but you just aren't quite ready for this yet. WWYD?

[charliegirl]

I would consider each trip she wants to make as it comes up and let her start doing some things with just her friends. It would depend on how safe I thought a few girls together would be and use that as my determination.

When you do let her go make sure she has her cell phone on and get promises that the girls will stay together totally. Drop them off and pick them up and tell them they are not to go outside (the mall or leave the park, for example) until you are there and tell them on the cell that you are outside.

For the record, its very hard to allow them to take those first steps, so you will never feel completely comfortable with that decision until they have done it safely a few times.

You want to get a job and you know you can't do the physical part of the jobs you have had in the past so you need to consider something else. You want to find one you will enjoy but aren't sure what that would be. WWYD?

[misty]

Well, I'd get all the papers, pennysavers, etc for your area & look...you never know, something might jump out at you that you never new existed. If not, then I'd look at your local unemployment agency or at local colleges...they often have programs to help people get back into the work force. I know the ones here are FREE to use if you are a PA resident. You could probably find out online where you need to go & what you need to bring with you.

Your child wants ANOTHER pet (Yep, Shannon wants a ferret now). You tell her NO but she keeps obsessing. She looks up local ferret shelters online, even posts on the free press that she's looking for one. Every time you try to reason with her or even tell her to at least wait awhile you meet with resistance, tears, slamming doors & screams of "I AM getting a ferret!". She insists that its HER money shes using so she'll just go get one! WWYD?

[katiekat]

Ok-to answer this question I will pretend to be a pet lover...or at least a pet liker. If she was paying for it herself and showed that she was already responsible with her other pets I would probably say yes, but if the novelty of the pets she already has wears off and then I became responsible for their care then I would probably say no until she was older.

Your very best friend is a realtor but she is fairly new at the job. She listed your house before but it didnt sell and after 6 months you took it off the market. You want to sell your house again but aren't sure you want to go with her this time but you do not want any hard(or hurt) feelings. WWYD?
