Wanting to Purchase a Pet

I have an almost 5 yr old and almost 3 yr old. Where we live they won't let us have a cat or dog so I am looking for a smaller animal that the kids are able to hold sometimes and that doesn't stink or get too wild! I was thinking a hamster or gerbil Can you guys give me some advice on this? I have heard so many good things about children learning to care for animals and that it helps also with self esteem that's why I would like one while they are still young and not wait until we can get a dog or cat. Thanks!

18 Year Old Doesn't Want to Go on Vacation

Our 18 year old daughter, whom is bi-polar, does not want to go on vacation with her dad, 14 year old sister and myself (mom). I can't decide if I should force her to go or not. If she goes with us she will probably make the rest of us miserable. If she doesn't go with us I will worry about her staying home alone. She tends to be forgetful and I worry about her forgetting to (or not wanting to) take her daily medication. I also worry about her cooking something on our stove and forgetting about it. Should we make her go?
