Move Your Money: A New Year's Resolution
Commented Dec 31, 2009 at 18:12:49 in Business
“I have been with B of A for many years. Being in a small community, the local banks are not an appealing option, and the credit union is an hour away. I just switched to Wells Fargo, with whom I banked in the past (many years ago) and really disliked. Now, however, I have been treated with nothing but extremely pleasant help, I can visit the inside of the bank without a fee (shock!) and I happy with the switch. The whole CEO arrogance with B of A made me switch, along with the nasty attitude whenever I called.”

“Veronica: I discussed this with my married daughter who has two children, 10 and 8, and it is her first marriage. She totally agreed with me, and in fact, said we gave her a wonderful example of how a marriage can work, with the children being part of a mixed family. When I speak to people with broken second marriages, it is 9 times out of 10 due to children issues, his or hers. My children call me all the time, they adore my husband, they are happy. And they assure me that I was always there for them. I think you are projecting your rough go (which I can respect) into what I said. If I put my spouse second, then my children would not have respected "our" views and decisions.”

“I have a terrific second marriage of 27 years and still going strong. My kids love their stepdad to pieces. I put him first, not the kids, and it is your attitude about this, IMO, that makes second marriages fail.
And BTW, wow, you sound bitter.”

“And honestly, if you put your spouse over your kids, that's your choice, but don't expect a freaking medal or parent of the year award, or be annoyed that some people find that objectionable. You contempt for kids who object to being second in their parent's lives couldn't be more clear. I wonder if you would call a child who is currently going through that and struggling with it "bitter" as well, or just adults who previously went through it and happen to comment on it when the topic comes up.”
Veronica replied on Oct 20, 2009 at 13:29:59
“Oh, right, it's the KIDS' attitudes who make 2nd marriages fail. Really nice, putting the burden on the kid. I may be an adult now, but that is the perspective I'm writing from.
I sound bitter? Uh, no, but I did experience a mother who put her husband before me and made sure I knew it. I'm talking about my personal experience as a KID and you're calling me bitter? Maybe I hit a nerve with you.
"And BTW, wow," I have to at least congratulate you on being so honest about your preference for your husband over your kids.”

“Actually, I had two children, he did not, second marriage for both of us. 27 years later, best move I ever made. We were united as a front, which meant I had to support him and trust him to do the right thing with my children. I did. Most importantly, I went into this marriage knowing the kids were leaving, and he hopefully never would, so yes, he came first. It worked for us, and the kids adore him.”

“Great! Thanks for your efforts. In CA, too many absentee ballots had gone out when red alert was sent, and I still maintain that the ballot itself, in respect to the way the question was presented, was confusing and cost many votes.”

“Bobby, I totally support gay rights, marriage. Both my children are gay. However, your anger shouldn't be with Obama, he is only one guy with a full plate. Spend time supporting gay marriage in your state. It is going to take a state by state referendum before the Federal Government will jump on the wagon.”

“If you even dare mention the famous jeweler on Fifth Ave. NYC, you know, the little blue box company, it is very easy to get frozen out on eBay, has happened to me several times for very petty things I didn't even know violated the rules.
My issue here is eBay. McGinniss obviously is gracious about it, but eBay allowed a rule violation with this auction and that really makes me angry. Has anyone spoken to them about allowing manipulation of an auction? I would have been suspended and I have a 100% rating.”
