The earliest lock in existence is an Egyptian lock made of wood, found with its key in the ruins of Nineveh, in accent Assyria. In construction it is the prototype of the modern cylinder lock. There is mention of locks of simple design used by the Greeks and Romans. With the exception of the development of ward locks, however, little was done to improve the efficiency and convenience of locks until the late 18th century.

In 1778, Robert Barron patented a double- acting, Lever-Tumbler Lock that remains the basis of the modern key lock. His design called for the use of a single key capable of raising the locks, two tumblers together. Like that key, communication keeps a family working together. So what is communication? According to one dictionary, communication means, " to transmit information, thought, or feeling so that it is satisfactorily received or understood." Another dictionary defines it as" A technique for expressing ideas effectively."

Meaningful relationships require good communication, getting to understand one another, our needs and joys, telling one another how much we appreciate all the kind things that have been done for us. In other words, significant conversation shows that we are not taking others for granted.

Never would you want to allow a communication gap to develop between you and your spouse. Talk together freely. Your being open and honest can help cement your marriage bond. Open communication means that the parent will try hard to be available when your child needs to talk if you are a parent, make sure that communication is open at least from your side. This is especially true for teenagers. Teen years are turbulent. Adolescents experience emotional ups and downs. Teenage boys and girls may want to be more independent, and they may resent limits placed on them by their parents. Remember though that such youths are still quite inexperienced and in need of loving, patients help from their parents

When your teenager feels it is a good time to talk, it may be your time to keep quiet and listen. We may be involved in other matters at the time, still if your youngster wants to talk to you, try to adjust your plans and listen. (OTHERWISE, HE OR SHE MAY NOT TRY AGAIN). Teenagers need the reassurance that their parents are there for them if needed.

Remember that good communication like Barrons Lock can unlock many happy and joy filled years as a happy family.

Help with family situation, I am dead inside.
By: KcSlumper | 08-09-2008
I don't know how to handle out family current situation.  I started watching my 1st born grandson when he was 3weeks old while his mom and dad work and whenever needed (which is quite a bit). I have spent just as much time, if not more then his mother (my daughter). In the beginning my daughter said they would buy me a carton of cigs for my payment. I told them that a little suprise now and then would be great. I love having suprises and baby so ...ok, that works.  In the year I have been watching him, they have bought me 4 cartons, and they were good about brining me a pop, candybar, just little things (which I was fine with). I din't want them taking me for granted  I have been witness to some of the ways they blow their money, ie...150 at the bar, 4500 new(used) truck that blew up within the fisrt 50 miles, a host of things.  My daughter is very good with money in the since that bills are paid, she has very good credit.   After chatting with a few women on online about payment for babysitting, and the fact that I wasn't getting cigs. or surprises, I wanted to start charging them. I ask Yahoo, what the going rates were and should I indeed charge, responses where overwhleming to charge. My daughter then told me that they were broke and she had to pay this and that  etc.... as I was thinking.....geez you alll go out to eat all the time(never call me to go) you all blow money on bah... bah... bah..., get my point.  My daughter told me that her and hubby had discussed paying me someone every week, but they just never did, and kinda just forgot about it.  Sunday they came over after eating out, (again no invite for me), my daughter offered me her left overs, which really got to me. She was leaving and told me that she was looking for a babysitter and that I would be needed anymore. I blew and that, even to the point of throughing crap out the door telling them to take all of their crap! Big fight... They took baby away baby away from me. The fact they would pay a stranger the going rate for care and will not pay me anything..... I am crushed, broken hearted, empty.  My eyes are swollen from crying so much.  My heart is in my stomach, I am....sick about this......I can't even explain what/how I feel except that I am dead in the inside. WHAT do I do... Our unemployed daughter is watching him now, tho she needs a full time job to pay for the car we just co-signed for, (yes she lost her job less than week later after buying car). We all get along, we have bad times as any family do. I cannot deal with this. I'm lost,  I just don't know how to stop this hurt inside, the anger, the rage, the feeling that I can't make another day like this. I'm sorry to run on like this.....someone out there..... please help me make since out of this..please   Thanks for your time, God bless  Teresa
