Family & Relationships - 5 September 2007

My little brother doesn't like to go outside much so 3 years ago, my parents made rules that when I go swimming, bike riding, etc., he had to go too. At the beginning of summer, my brother and I were fighting about his going bike riding with me and our mom took his side and didn't make him go. The same thing happened with swimming later in the day. I tried telling my brother Mom said he had to and that worked for a little while until he confronted Mom, and I got yelled at for lying! I tried telling him Dad said he had to, but when he went to Dad, Dad grounded me for lying about him saying something he didn't say. Our parents also allow his friends I don't like coming over. They aren't "bad" kids, just people I have nothing in common with. We've always gone to the same school but this year, our parents sent him to a different school. Now me, my friends, and their siblings in his class can't watch him and nobody I know knows anyone at his new school. How do I get our parents straight?

well first im 15, im an only child for my dad and mom and i do everything im supposed to do. i make excellent grades and as a female i think i hold my self very well. my mother is my world. i respect her and she is the most important in my lfe. she would do anything for me and i couldn't ask for better.

now im turning sweet 16 and all i asked my father was to get me a phone (note its 300 dollars) i am very understanding but this is ridiculous because i never ask him 4 ANYTHING. and the minute i do he has to ask his wife or my grandmother. personally i think its sad and all he is looking at is that its a 300 dollar phone. its always something with my dad and his family and im tired of them trying to break me down. it hurts because i am his only child and my mother does everything and he acts like he cant do anything and that im just spoiled. (which im not u can ask anyone) soooo my question is am i wrong about this?, because im tired and its tearing me apart

my boyfiend have been together may was ayear.i have only had 4 orgasims with and the last one was this past feb.
we have talked about it he is aware that he is not satisfing me and the sex gets really good but he isnt into peforming oral sex and i cant seem to keep him focused on my pleasure areas.sometimes i get mad because he never comes back the second day to please me after a couple days i just take care of it myself.its just not the same and it often makes me sad i wonder if i will ever be able to have that feeling again that you get when you are in love and the emotional satisfaction you get when you are satisfied sexually.

cheating is not an option.
other than this issue.he is a very good man and i know that he cares for me intensly.
he is very sweet and attentive.just not into my body.or something. it is really stating to hurt my selfesteem.

This is a very touchy subject and one I'm embarrassed to admit. 2 years ago I sent my 4 kids to live with their dad (my oldest child's father died 3 years ago so she lives with her uncle). I have no patience and yell all the time (even now when I see them, I just have no patience). My life sucks and sometimes I want to just kill myself and end it all, but how can I do that after seeing what my daughter went through after her dad died. I have been seeing counselors for 15 years and have been on every type of medication. I love my kids more than life and would do anything for them, they just annoy me. What is wrong with me? I block everything out but every once in a while it hits me... that I'm a rotten mother and don't deserve anything good in life... then I just cry for days and try to figure out a way to make things better - with them, for myself, etc. Then it all goes away and I'm back to my usual blank self, with no feeling, no hope for anything.

My boyfriend has a coworker that keeps flirting with him. She does it right in front of me when I come to his job with lunch. He ignores her and would never do anything but I know to him its flattering. To me, enough is enough, its getting annoying. When I bring him lunch she will purposely come over and stand there trying to chit chat with him. I am a somewhat jealous person but only when there is cause to be. We've been together 5 years have lived together 4 of those years so this is a very long term realationship. I feel what she is doing is disrespectful. He tells me not to worry about it that he's with me we have a life together and she is nothing but a coworker. But, I still feel her doing it right in front of me is disrespectful and it drives me crazy. What is everyone elses thoughts.

I was wondering if ladies enjoy phone sex as much as guys do..I recently tried it and really enjoyed it, but it seems like women aren't as interested in it as guys are. Any reasons for that? I'd love to hear honest answers!

My brother passed away a little over 2 weeks ago and I feel like I am going crazy!! I want him back so bad!! I spend so much time on the computer trying to find ways to fix him and I know I can't fix him, he's gone...FOREVER!!! That drives me crazy!! We were so close, we talked daily and I don't know how to laugh anymore, all I really want to do is stay in bed!! But I have a family who needs me and I need them!! I can't talk to my parents about this, they are dealing with their pain and of course I am the strong one for them~~ When you talk to your friends they don't know what to say to you!! So you really are just left alone, I do talk to God a lot, and I know He is helping me!! I just need to know if there is anyone that understands what I am feeling?? Is it normal or am I going crazy???

Hi everybody, i need some help.

My girlfriend and I have been together since high school, were going on 6 1/2 years now. She had to move to another city (about 70 miles) away because her brother bought a new house. She lives with him because the parents are in another country.

Anywho, we saw each other on the weekend and everything and things were going okay. Well recently she got a part-time job, which is good and now she is also going back to school now for 3 yrs.

We talk almost everyday, email, phone calls, IM etc. But am a little concerned about a few things.

First of all, he has this group of guy friends she works with, and she says she's just friends with them, which i do trust her but i dont trust them. I told her how i felt about them, and she understands but she wont give them up (am not trying to make her give them up) since they are nice to her and everything. Nobody has tried anything with her either.

Now, she doesnt want me to meet them, or tell them she has a bf (she says its nobody's business, she is like that with everyone, even girls, if she is asked about bfs, she'll say she has one).

With her working and with school, she barely sees me anymore. She tells me she still loves me and wants to be with me, but right now school and work are a prority and now am kind of a lower prority.

About our relationship, she says its good to get space from each other, and how we should use this time now to do what we couldnt do before. Like for instance she suggested i should practive my guitar more, work out, that sorta thing.

When she was with me, she was so focused on our future and she said she wants to be with me and all that, I don't think she feels different but to me it kinda feels that way since she doesn't mention it anymore or like really talk about it. She says right now she wants to focus on the now instead of the later.

I might be moving to where she is in about a years time (due to work) but she feels that maybe we should still stay apart for awhile.

The truth is, i dont want to lose her, to anything or anyone. What do you guys think about this? i know i should trust her and have faith in her but since she started work and school and those guy friends showed up I barely eat and sleep, like it gets to me.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I'm begining to feel like I could do this and be happier alone..b/c I'm bascially alone all the time anyways. Should I work harder??..When I'm the only one working at this anyways???

My hubby has children that live about 2 hours away, I have children who live close and have shared custody of. Every year his one son plays football and we have to drive 4 hours RT to pick them up on Fridays, 4 hours RT on Sat to games and 4 hours RT on Sunday to take them home. Either I go with him to the games or he feels neglected, we leave all of the other children at home, because they don't want to go. This summer he said that he was not going to do all of the driving and work out an alternative arrangement. Last night his son called and sure enough we are back on the same schedule. I am upset because he just jumped in to this without letting me know that it was going back to the same old routine. There are plans that have been made by the other kids during this football season and now they have to be told that they can't do these things, or I have to tell my husband that I don't want to go with him because the other children need me. He likes me to go with him to support

You did not want to do anything big for your 18th but decide to invite about 10 of ur closest friends (ones youve been friends with since year7) to your family party which is on ur actual b'day ...you asked them on tuesday last week and they said they would come..You feel so excited that they actually want to come to one of your family parties.. But on Friday a girl who they are obsessed with, but hardly talk to invites them to her huge party on the same night...Then you find out all except 1 of them are going to leave your party early to go to hers..U really wanted them to stay at yours and they know it...Everyday they continually talk about how excited they are for the other girls party right infront of you..They can see that your upset about it but they ignore it and stick to their plan.
Would you care? How would you feel? What would you do?

my fiance's 18 yr old daughter hates me. Her mom and him divorced 3 yrs ago before I even came into the picture. she blames me for the breakup of the marriage. Her mom and dad both have told her they had problems long before that. they were married 25 yrs and had not slept in the same bed for the last 15 yrs. he stayed because of his 2 daughters. Her sister is 24 and has accepted me and we get along fine. I have did all kinds of things to try and win her over. I gave her a sweet 16 party. the first party she ever had, I let her drive my car when I first met her, and I always buy her nice gifts at christmas. she has cursed at me and told everyone she hates me. she says she wont come around to see her dad because of me. I have never kept him from seeing her, i even encourage him to do things with her. she wants him to come visit her at her mother's home while her mom is there. she quit school and does not work. she is also into drugs. she even told her dad she wants to whoop my rear!
