Family & Relationships - 8 November 2007

My husband has two kids 1 girl and 1 boy from a previous marriage (he married young). Now his kids are grown his daughter is 20 with 2 kids and his son 19 with 1 kid. The only time they call there dad is when they want something or need help with something, I see that but he doesn't. His daughter will lie to get what she wants and I have brought that to his attention and every time his daughter calls and need something he always jumps to his feet and go to her rescue but when his son calls and ask for something he always turns him down. I asked why does he always jump to help his daughter and why can't he say no to her but he always responds with "she's my daughter and I'm her dad". And I tell him she only calls when she wants something other than that you don't hear from her unless you call her, she never call on her own to see how you’re doing. He makes so many excuses for her actions and I am getting tired of it. Two weeks ago was his birthday and he did not get a call

and they were both checking me out. (I don't know either of them) Then one guy said to the other "I can't tell". Does anybody know why they would say that? I wasn't dressed sexy just normal everyday casual.

I really need to get him out of my life and I'm trying to. I have feelings for him but it just can't be. He refuses to leave me be and continues to ask for me. I don't want to soften up and get closed to him again. What should I do? How do I get him out of my life?

Hi, I have a serious situation, my 11 years step daughter, who doesn't like me much because her mother keep poisioning her mind against me.I tried my best to win her heart but all in vain.We are planning to go on long trip, wherever she goes with us, she keeps nagging, crying, throw tantrums and non stop talking. She won't let my husband discuss any serious matter even for one minute. She is very verbal and has lots of anger. Previously, I tried to take some music cds, Nintendo, books, her fav. food and toys. She has no interst in anything. All she wants attention and keep talking non-stop. Sometime, its annoying and give me headches. My husband won't go anywhere without her.And If I am holding my husband's hand, she will take him away and then I have to walk alone behind them. She is the only child so very spoiled, and my husband won't say anything to her. Now, I am very stressed and afraid going with her and I can't say no to my husband either, then it means I will stay home alone.

I was planning on having an adult only reception (of course though allowing the three family members that are IN the bridal party). I asked one of my bridesmaids for her address so I could put it correctly into my database...When she gave it to me she gave me her name, her hubby's name and her new daughters name.

I asked her if she was going to bring the baby and she said "Yeah why do you have a problem with that?"

I was kind of put off by that, i mean, yeah i wanted an adults only reception (mostly because my dads paying for food and it's 8.95 per plate for kids).. she said she would bring jar food for the baby...

Did any of you find it rude for her to respond to me like that?

There'a this girl I really like, she's really pretty, smart, athletic and nice to people. But the problem is that she hates my guts becausre I was really annoying to her last year. She's starting to be nicer and friendlier to me and I really like her.What should I do? Should I ask her out or keep being nice to her?

My mother had an addition put on her home so my grandmother would not have to be placed in an elderly home. She runs a business on her property and is trying to take care of her too. She's partially paralyzed on her right side but does not require a nurse so insurance won't help. It is physically taking it's toll on her. Her brother and sister refuse to contribute by sitting with their own mother or bringing her meals. When my mother wanted to hire a home healthaide worker they refused and my grandmother doesn't want one either.

They know she will not neglect my grandmother so she has no choice. My aunt and uncle work too but she just wants help on the weekends. Neither of them have spouses or children at home. They go on with their lives and my mother is taking care of her 24/7 and trying to run a business.

Any suggestions, she's under so much stress it's hard to sit back and be so

The jerk-off formerly known as my boyfriend sent me this email today. We're in a LDR. Should I dump his *** TODAY? Here's his email:


"I'm sorry! Have been quite busy. Have still to hear (tomorrow) from my travel agent. It is getting close to Xmas time, so the chances are that I wont get (any!) ticket at all. Will let you know tomorrow morning the outcome. (I am bracing myself for the worst - i.e. having to spend money that I dont have for a new ticket). I should hate that. Hope you are well and fine and not to cross with me. You called me a couple of times when I was on the run, standing on the threshhold and being late already to my work. Hope you ll understand I could not answer you then and there. There is a time difference, you know. have to run again back to my books now."

If it's done by a female and it's only one thumb can that be seen as a gay act.

I am sexually curious but I don't want to spend an eternity in the depths of hell for one little appendage insertion.

My sister and my mom haven't spoken in 8 years. It's messy, but my sister decided to put her kids up for adoption because she was having some drug troubles and didn't think she could provide for them.

"I did what I thought was best - now they have a chance," she says. In her mind, making the decision to give the two boys up was difficult, but

The problem is that my mom takes this all very personally.

"She took my grandbabies away from me, and I can never forgive her, ever," she says, and the anger and in her eyes is geninuine. In her mind, raising a child is the only option - there is no other option, come what may.

Today, they still swear they will never say a word to one another. They speak of one another with such vile that it makes me nauseous; but I keep trying with each of them, explaining the other's point of view.

Now the old woman is getting sicker and it isn't looking good. What can I do to change it before it's too late?

Like mother, like daughter.

i want to a couple of things...

why is that married men esp the ones who had love marriage, want to veer out of the marriage.. what is the thought that goes in their mind... is it that their wives will never know or even if they will what would they do... also why do they get bored in the marriage, in the end.. is it all about sex or do they really crave attention cos their wives are not what they expected them to be... ( only serious answers, preferably from people who have been in such a situation)

I have been with my wife for about seven years now and we have a nine month old son. I would say for the past two years things have been different, we fight a lot and dont really have much to talk about. My wife has had a very hard life, her mother died very young, abuse and attempted suicides. So at times she is very hard to deal with.... actually almost insane. I think this is really beginning to get to me but I try to make things work for her and most importantly our son. I feel like I get no respect or appreciation, I work six days a week and take care of our son at night while she goes to school. All I ask is she take care of our son and clean up around the house but lately that has not been happening and she complains about how I dont show her any attention or help out. I feel like I do more than my share and Im really tired of it. Of course this is only my side of the situation, as she may see things differently. We have talked but it only seems to help for a short time.

I am divored with joint custody of my kids. I am moving back in to my house in July of 2008. I got the house in the divorce and told her she could stay there until july 2008. Okay so I find myself with the kids about 75% of the time. I take them to all of thier practices, school functions, etc. She doesn't go to any of their events. Also, she doesn't get home until 7:00 at night from work. I pick up the kids after school and make them dinner and help with homework. She doesn't make dinner but orders take out and then she sits outside and smokes and talks on her cell phone while the kids watch TV or play X-BOX.
I am thinking of asking for full custody. Am I being fair to her? She isn't a bad mom; she doesn't abuse the kids or anything, but she doesn't pay attention to them or their needs. What are my chances of getting custody?

Had a heated argument with my parents on last Sunday & all becoz of my young bro's attitude. Was on my way to work, midway thru the bus journey, searched for office key & realized the key was left @ home. Called home asked my bro to help take the key down to office & I'll pay for taxi fare. Told me that he doesn't want to go by screaming & shouting @ top of his voice, said why am I like that & etc. Hung up his phone coz no point to listening him screaming, called my boss & colleague to ask client to postpone timing. Came home took key, slammed the gates & left for work. Came home pressed the bell, bro opens door, I slammed the gate & told him off. Told my mom to tell "his son" better change his stupid attitude. Told my parents off that if they were so good why not teach their son some manners. Dad got angry, both of us started a screaming comp. Dad dared me to hit him, told him I don't do such thing. Dad gave me 2 tight slaps on my face for not talking to them in a civilized manner.

I am Catholic and I used to go to a Catholic school so I have a uniform but it's so small now (it was from middle school) but I can still fit into it as I am petite. But, I'm really nervous about doing this... what do you do when you're trying to make someones fantasy reality? Clearly I don't have that much experience but can someone help?

I am 16 years old and my parents divorced when I was 8. I nver thought that it would have an affect on me like it has. I have done things that my parents never dreamed I would do. At the age of 14 I had sexual intercourse and tried on 2 counts to have a baby. I have been asking myself if my dads absence could be to partially blame for this but I'm not going to blame him completely. I don't even know how to explain to my mom that I may need to spend a little time with him for a while because she feels like his lifestyle is too much for me and all he's gonna do is let me grow up and be a teenager. I know how much it will hurt but it seems like he wants to be in my life but she keeps pushing him away

I have recently had a family upset, not with my immediate family but an extension. I have grown up with these family member. Especially thier child, whom I have been close with since she was born. They recently have just stopped all communication with my immediate family
( mom, dad, and myself) I had nothing to do with it. They have never called me to see how I was doing since I just gave birth to my daughter. I think about them all the time. But they never call me. What should I do. All I want to do is keep in contact the their little girl, since they really don't care about me. I just miss them so much. I just don't know what to do.... HELP!!!
