Family & Relationships - 18 October 2007

I ve been an @ home mother for the past 8 years. I didnt go to college and feel quite intimidated to go back. I really would like to hear from moms that went through this transition. Leaving the house work and kids to pursue a career. How did you deal with child care expenses and school at the same time. It seems impossible!!!!! I really would like to accomplish this soon. Thanks for your help!!

When I was younger I pretty much went through 13 years of hell during my school years (K-12). 95% of the kids in school treated me like crap or just wouldn't even talk to me. Now that I've been graduated for a while I sometimes run into people that I went to school with. When they find out who I am they act like we're good friends or something. My general motto is "If you wouldn't talk to me then, I won't talk to you now." How many of you forgive the little kids and think that they grew out of it?
(I think that people don't change, they just learn to hide their more undesirable traits, but they're still there.)

My mom and I have been having this really bad fight. My dad isn't home he's on a business trip. Lately, we have been having stupid arguments over everything and turning into fights. I don't know what to do anymore. She'll say a mean comment to me and I tell her I hate her. I only say it because that way I can get my anger out. Then I get really mad at her because she dosen't want to be nice. I now she can be, but for some reason she doesn't want to be. Now we are both mad at each other, I try to tell I am sorry and if we can start new. But, she is oo mad she ignores me and says I have pysciatric problems,which i don't. I really don't know what to do anymore, or what I am doing wrong. Please help me. How can I break the ice of out argument and start new and get her to be nice? Please help me....I just don't know what to do anymore. I so desperately want to be friends and just get along.

My sister in law 51 and neice 10 is living with us. My sister in law was last seen on Monday morning leaving her daughter in our care. She called her daughter last night indicating that she is not coming home again, last time she saw her daughter was Monday morning. What do I do, she constently lies to us as to her were abouts and is always drinking. She cares more about herself then her own child.

there was the prettiest girl in my class last year, and even though he was always looking at me and trying to sit net to me, i never really talked to her, well last friday i met her at a party and got her number (she came up to me). i couldn't call her to give her my numbre inside cuz i didnt have service, so i called her like 3 hours later and she was like "kindd of a late reaction", i dont know if that means anything, but anyways i called her on tuesday to do something on friday and she said she's busy the whole weekend because her friend from out of town is coming, and as soon as i called she said she was busy studying, so she couldn't talk, so what i want to know is do i still have a chance with this girl, and also when should i call her again?

i have a serious boyfriend, but we had split a couple times.1 of these times I met someone new.I was really attracted to him.I saw him for about 7 months but then my ex & I ended up back together. It wasn’t expected. My ex was a cheat and so on, so our relationship was up & down. Well anytime I broke up with my man, this other guy (who I couldn’t leave alone) would always be the one I started seeing. It never got too deep with him though b/c he seemed to pull away when I got to close. I never really understood it all. He’d act like it was all great one minute and the next, he would avoid me almost. But he still continued to see me anytime I broke up with my boyfriend. I know this seems terrible of me to seem like I was playing games with them-but theres more to the story & it wasn’t like that. I just always wonder if this other guy really liked me & was just scared to let his guard down or if I was a booty call?

Does that make it ok for my father to say that I am "living as his (my boyfriends) whore?" I am 27 years old, and we have been together for 2 years. I told him I thought that was an inappropriate thing to say.

I posted a question earlier about the serious issues I'm encountering with my mother-in-law who has resisted me from the beginning. My husband is an enabler of her manipulation and refuses to acknowledge her twisted behavior even after she begged him to leave me (for no reason at all other than her wanting her little boy back) My question: Does a Mamma's boy ever grow out of it? How can I deal with this? I love my husband & this is the only marital problem we have, but it's becoming very very serious and we've only been married a few months

It seems as though most guys these days are only interested in sex. I have a guy who's been interested in me for a couple of months and won't letdown, but I've been warned that he's not interested in relationships. If he's still interested in me two months later wouldn't that mean he's actually interested in me for me though? Wouldn't he give up two months later if he was only interested in sex?

together forever, thats what you said
thought we'd be together ever after we're dead.
You said all the right words and did all the right things
when you held me, you made my heart sing.

You tell me you love me and act like you don't
I can't deal with this confusion, I just won't!
I'm not your ride or die chick,
I want to be.... But I can't take this
SO

F**k you and your un-necessary bullshit.
you're not even worth it.

I have a male friend that always loves talking to me and enjoys my company.

We talk every single day - but past couple of days he hasnt even made an attempt to call or get in touch. No texts - he usually does this when we dont see eachother.

He knows Im a busy person with work. He's fine as well because hes been chatting to other people past couple of days.

So what could be wrong?

How SHOULD I react to his behaviour??

i've been with my guy for 8 months. i'm at a dorm an hour away from home and he's at hometown university so we only see eachother on weekend. we're doing really good but one of my girlfriends told me that i'm not being a good girlfriend...
let me explain how i am around my guy. i spend time with him, i don't flirt with other guys in front of him, i don't cheat, i let him know that i love him, i like to make him feel appreciated (because he's always so sweet), i let him know i'm always there for him and provide him with a listening-ear. i try to talk about it whenever something is wrong but i don't nag and i try to be positively reinforcing, i help him whenever he has a problem, i am affectionate towards him, we have fun conversations and can joke about silly stuff but we can also be serious. i do sweet stuff for him like getting his favorite pizza before he comes over. i am affectionate towards him. we hear from eachother every day because we miss eachother, but i give him his space.

I have been best friends with this girl for ten years. About a year ago her and her husband got into heroin. This past summer they hit rock bottom, they sold all their stuff for the drug, even the kids x-box and gameboy! Eventually social services came and took their kids away and it seemed to me that she didn't even give a crap! She even changed her myspace page from being "proud parent" to "love kids, but they're not for me" !

I don't want anything to do with her anymore, i have two kids of my own and we don't need to be a part of that messed up world. She thinks i'm a b**ch because i won't talk to her anymore. Do you think i'm wrong to not talk to her?She was in rehab and she says she is clean for two months now. but i can't get the image out of my head when i let my 7year old son stay at her place with her son for 3days last summer and when i went to pick him up they were running in and out of the house like nuts and she was locked in her bedroom(i know now what she was doing)

I'm 22 years old, I'm inactive It's so hard for me to get back on track,my husband & I r spiritually weak , we want to serve Jehovah.I was disfellowshiped when I was 17. I re-established then met my husband joe at a get together, I realized he was not spiritual, he was leading a dbl life,I didn't, I just stopped going b cuz I broke Jehovah's laws along with him(again). I would never lead a dbl life I'd rather just not serve. we got married, talked to the elders,disfellowshiped,re established we had not been making meetings for 3 months. we started going again regularly 3 wks ago,but i feel very guilty bcuz when we had just re established we'd go 2 worldly dances,drank alcohol. bcuz I've been disfellowshiped b4, ppl think I was bad influence on him they don't know bout his previous dbl life.I know better but i'd like words from other MATURE JW'S. is this inappropiate(asking this online)? I mean, I can tell who's a witness. ok let me know.

My Dad and I do NOT get along. As far as I'm concerned he doesnt love me. Yesterday he kicked me out of his house so he could be able to have a "normal dating life" and move to another state. I could definitly be a better daughter and I feel guilty for not approving of his dating as much as I could.

He is a therapist, but he says stuff that is so hurtful. He always calls me a liar and when he makes me cry he tells me to shut up and go to my room, sometimes for the rest of the night. One day I told him I wanted therapy because I think I'm depressed and he refused saying I'm not depressed and have such good life and i dont know what deppresion is. I think I want to live with my mom and now my Dad wants me back. I'm having trouble saying no because when my sister cut off her relationship with my dad My dad manipulated his family (who I am VERY close to) into thinking she has mental problems. I dont want that to happen. What do I do?

My husband and I are seperated because he's a chronic cheater. Everytime I decide to move on and get out and meet new guyz he comes right back wanting to be with me again. If I'm at home alone with the baby crying and upset he could care less. But when he sees me out at parties or with another guy I can guarentee he will be calling or showing up at my door. How come he never cares until I move on? This can't be real love. Right?

There have been so many things happen in the four years since I married her son. 1)Tried to convince me he was cheating on me. 2)Manipulated our relationship until we almost got a divorce 3) Tried to control when we had our child, etc.

My newest dilemna: My husband's younger brother is 15 and watches our 2 1/2 year old daughter twice a week after school until I get home from work. He gets $16.00 a week (for 4 hrs.). I just found out that each week my brother in law is forced to give his mother all of it but $5.00. This has apparently gone on for months and months. This woman is controlling this boy..makes him take a med for ADHD he doesn't have, is verbally abusive, never lets him leave the house but to come to ours and now takes his money!

My question: What do I do or say to stop this? I refuse to give him money so she can steal it all. Should I talk to her or my brother in law? Should I keep all the money until he needs it? This just isn't right and I want it to end.
