Family - June 2006

My mom grew up in poverty.When young,she worked hard 2 earn money so that her brothers and sisters can get proper education.When she married, it was not exactly a happy marriage but she held on for the sake of me & my brother. My father died 10 years back & she had to work again after a gap of 25 years.I became an engineer and my brother a doctor because of her hard work. i had a love marriage 3 years ago,not exactly against her wishes but she was not exactly happy with it either.Now, after a big fight, my wife has walked out of my home.and my wife has flatly refused to try to reconcile.
my mom, in her old age, has to witness all this. She is upset all day. I WANT 2 MAKE HER HAPPY, BRING SOME CHEER IN HER LIFE. HOW DO I DO THAT. PLEASE ADVICE, PLEASE HELP ME.

About a year ago, I met and fell in love with a man. He put on a pretty good front. After I got pregnant, we married and he began to change. Two months before I gave birth, we broke up and he went back to his father's house - I found out later that his ex-girlfriend was living there with them. He lied and made a fool of me. He told me that he wasn't going to pay me a dime in childsupport and he wanted nothing to do with me or my baby. With that in mind, I too wanted nothing to do with him. As per his wishes, my daughter was born w/o her father. On her birth certificate, under father - it is blank. Her last name is the same as mine. The only tie that holds me and my ex together is that we are married. Does he still have rights to her? Can he one day say I want to take her away and visit with her? When we go to court, does the child suport come into play since we are married? Can't we skip all of that and pretend we never had a child if agreed with my husband?

or in fact NO budget, besides TV?
I watch too many movies for escapism because i cant go out or accept invitaions for outings and nights out, Its depressing when my new other half talks about his life and where he;s been and what he's done, it all sounds so foreign to me, i grew up poor and am living poor, I'm a single mum, I amuse the kids, plenty of free stuff for them, the beach, park, garden etc...but me? i feel like a nobody, never flown, nver been abroad, cant do clubs/sports or anything invovling money, people always say picnics or park jogging and such but i want a social life, lights action, fun. AARRGGH! seems like life is ticking by without me. I'm late 30's amd BORED with the monotony

My 17 year old daughter says her curfew is too strict. It is 10:00 on weeknights and 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. I actually thought I was being pretty lenient. I am considering both increasing it as well as shortening it.

My dad has recently been going to lunch with this woman. He says that she is just a work friend. Sometimes he spends a night at her house and doesn't come back until 12 midnight. Whenever he answers his work phone and she is there, he closes the door. My mom doesn't know anything about her, just that she is his "co worker." Is he cheating on her? I don't want to ask becuz he might think i m trying 2 but into his business.

I have to work, BTW. he commutes 1 hour to work, and works long hours, I only see him 1/2 a day 2 x's a week and he is home every night, but I am usually asleep since I go in early, and he goes in later. Any suggestions on how to express myself better, or hobbies that may be easy from home. I get so bored.

About a year ago my mom remarried. Ever since we haven't been getting along very well. We don't fight all the time, but we do disagree a lot. She's neurotic about her faith, and preaches to me a lot about what I do wrong and what I should do. (ex: I don't listen to Gospel music. She thinks that's all you should listen to. She thinks you should go to church twice a day, I think once a week is plenty.) I really want to get along with my mother, but without having to hear her preach about everything that I'm doing being wrong. What should I do?

Do you think its ok for the mother to work and dad stay home and care for the kids, or should daddy be bringing home the bacon while mama holds down the fort?
