Family & Relationships - 25 November 2007

My wedding is April 5th and we're having a "cinderella" type theme. I need to find the dresses as soon as possible so that I can let my bridesmaids know. I want the dresses to be beautiful without my bridesmaids going broke in the process.

My wife and I are in our mid-20s, and we always return home for the holidays. My extended family is all on my mother's side, and my wife has family on both her mother's and father's side.

This means having to visit with three families on Xmas day.My mom is working on Xmas day, so my wife and I plan on visiting with my mother-in-law's family at lunch, then have dinner with my mother and her family, and then spend a little time in the evening with my father-in-law's family.

My mother is upset because we plan on visiting my father-in-law's family in the evening, as this would be the second time that day we spend time with my wife's parents.

My wife and I are not trying to spend more time with my in-laws rather than my parents, we simply want to see ALL our extended family members at once, and then spend the remainder of our vacation with our parents. Are we being unfair to my parents? To us, it's just the nature of having three families to visit with in one day. Your thoughts?

I've been with him for a year and 3 months. Both his and my longest relationship. Everything had been going fine, but now he says he's bored. I told him to break up then but he doesn't want to, because he says he loves me. I asked what has him bored, he said he doesn't know, but it's a feeling of not being totally satisfied. He doesn't want to see me. He says this happens with me, not in general as if he was stressed. He has been quite busy with school though, but why doesn't it happen with his friends also? He says he can't really describe what bores him about the relationship. All this happened all of a sudden.

I'm so hurt, but I doubt that'll make a difference if I tell him, it'll probably make it worst actually (he'll say I'm a drama queen). What should I do? Will this pass? Is this normal? I'm so sad right now :(

My little brother is turning 18 next month and is not doing well living at home. My older sister, who lives in the house next to mine, agrees that he needs to get out of my mom's house. She bashes our self-esteem and makes us feel like crap. We all love her because she's our mom and we know she means well, but it never ends well. I'm asking my little brother tonight what he thinks and if he says yes, we then have to go to my mom. Technically, he's 18 so she can't stop him but I don't want to cause a family war over this. I just want him to be happy. I would have rules for him, a curfew, he has to have a job, etc. I'm only 23, my husband is 24 and we have a 1 yr old son. It would be a lot to take on but we all agree that he needs to have positive people in his life. How should I approach this with my mom so she doesn't feel attacked?

Maybe i'll get more response asking the question this way..... what should've i said to this lady?


was getting my nails done a while back at a salon that has Vietnamese people working there. My 5 year old was with me and was "being a 5 year old" Just getting bored. So she 's doing my nails and then stops looks at my son cause he was fiddling with something and says


" If you don't listen to your momma, I'm going to cut your tongue out and feed it to you!".


.. with a mean voice. Then she goes on to tell me how her neices and nephews are scared of her because she is so strict to them.

I guess i am a pushover because i just didnt say anything to her but inside i was in shock and actually felt bad that my kid got on her nerves so bad she felt she had to yell at him. What is wrong with me?! I probably should've got up and said i wasnt paying for it and drug my kid outta there and never went back.......

what do u think?

I am a 24 yr old female. My dentist is 28 yrs old.
I know he is not married, but I am not sure if he has a girlfriend. He is extremely flirtatious when I come in for appointments, but I have a hard time telling whether he is like that with everyone, or me specifically.
I am afraid he may never confront me because he is at his place of work and he may not think it is appropriate to ask me out while he is at work.
My question is : How do I let him know I am interested in him?
Should I wait for him to confront me? Or, should I confront him? If so, how?

Do you think i am being unreasonable?
My partner recently when to a strip club for his friends birthday, well i was fine with that. He has been a couple of times in the 3 years i have been with him & ive never tried to stop him. However i discovered that the last time he stayed at the club while his friends went to another pub talking to one of the strippers. He has her number. She is bi but he tried to tell me she was lesbian. She apparently does have a lesbian gf and 'has never been with a guy' but i think that makes it worse. and probably the guy bit is a crock of ****. Anyway do you think i have a right to be mad about the number? he has normal girl mates that i have always been fine with... but im not so sure how i should react to this..

I know well enough not to dress up the little ones cause they'll just be running amuck having fun.
but what about myself? being the mother and all & I am the one putting on the party.
should I at least wear a dreass pants & shirt?
or would that be over-done for Chuck E Cheese?

ok so i need some advice, me and my boyfriend were kinda low on money and its around christmas. i had just gotten a new job but they were working me like 12 hour shifts and i would do a close and then an open the next morning well it was just honestly too much and so yesterday my foot was so swollen i couldnt even get my shoe on. well i call into work and they yelled at me and were kinda mean to me for missing. some other stuff has gone on there too. and i just needed to quit. this morning when i dropped my boyfriend off at his work i could tell he was dissapointed in me. when i go to pick him up how do i tell him i quit and have him feel compasionate for me. i'd work in a factory for him , id do anything, it was just too much to handle. so how to i make him see im not a bad person or a failure , it was just too much.

Okay, 6 months ago my dad admitted to me that he had cheated on my mum 3 times.(he told my mum a few months earlier - she forgave him) before he told me he used to accuse my mum of all sorts like having affairs flirting with men - and he used ask me what i thought was going on with my mum and say 'help me.' (He had an incredibly bad upbringing) I had to try and be my dad's 'brick' and help him through his insecure state. But that got me thinking all sorts about my mum. I thought she was a fake. He kept saying there was more to the story, and he would tell me when i was older. My Dad was so confincing, I had no idea it was him who had been unfaithful all along. He used to sware at her and everythin he was never violent. I was torn between 2 parents.Now i feel like the emotion has just hit me. I cryed for hours today.i told him that it was his fault that i lost all my confidence at school. I told him i'm so angry with him. Did i over react and bring up the past??

Me and my broke up a year ago and he ended the relationship. I begged him for 3 weeks to take me back before giving up and walking away. It took 2 months to finally feel slighly normal again and I am finally happy again. Ive been with my new boyfriend 6 months and hes amazing and I wonder why I cried over my ex. Not worth it. Now my ex calls constantly after me already changing my number once and texts saying he loves me and misses me and my boyfriend doesnt love me. Hes also threatened me. What do I do? This is getting out of control.

I have been having trouble lately and it's been troubling me for quite some time (3 years) .. Whenever I speak I tend to pause for a few seconds and speak 5-10 words and pause again, it'll happen to me even if i'm nervous or not. I have a presentation to make in front of the class in 2 days and I'm afraid it'll happen to me again. I have asked many people and they always tell me to relax or breathe normally, I tried doing both of them but it never helped .. so does anyone know why I am pausing so much ? and does anyone know how I can fix this situation?

Ok my b/f and I went to a dairy farm about an hour away.
He used his car but asked I pay gas and tolls since it was my idea. When we got to the farm, I paid for over $20 in goods we both like. He wanted some things for himself and asked I buy them too since the trip was my idea. I told him he's crossing a line, especially since I brought us to a fancy Thanksgiving dinner at an upscale hotel that cost about $80.

Now I don't mind being the one to pay for special occasion things because he pays most of the rent and it is his car. But I pay all the food, and he likes to eat out a lot, and his gas and oil changes, and charges thousands on my credit card for his music equipment.

So when we were driving home, he said he was starving and wanted to eat all the food now. I told him I bought the salad, soups, and rolls for now, but the sandwich and two pastries were for dinner. He kept arguing he was hungry like a horse and wanted them now. I said if we eat all this now, that will be like a...
