Family - August 2006

My great uncle died, he gave my mom a lot of money.

My mother was already well off before her inheritance.

She is not married and I am her only child.

It sounds kind of greedy, but I was hoping maybe she would share a little bit with me.

Like $2,000 or so for a future baby.

My wife and I are not hurting for money, but are planning to get pregnant soon with my mother’s only grandbaby.

I was kind of hoping she might buy a crib or give us like $1,000 when our baby is born.

Am I horrible to even think that? I felt guilty wanting anything from her.

Our thoughts are to have a 50's theme.. e.g. music from the 50's and set pictures to this music... but I'm really struggling with the program itself. I need video shots from old movies that I could use in the program or ideas for the top ten secrets to being married 50 years.. or something that will not bore our audience to tears. If you've been to such an anniversary, or have ideas, pls let me know!

thanks! Rane

Everytime my in-laws call long distance to talk to my husband, I am expected to talk to them one by one. I love them, but I am not used to that. I never know what to say, and I don't like spending alot of time on the phone. Lately, when I know it is them I find something to do to be busy, or find an excuse to run an errand. Should I be more patient?

He is 10. We aren't allowed to use the computer and we can't play with our consols (DS and PSP), we have to watch tv together and play only out dreamcast together (Yes, dreamcasts are OLD). My brother is really bored and really sad. What are some things we can do together?

My mother has issues with me being an adult and marrying another woman.

She says she has “empty nest” and feels lonely. She tried to break up my engagement.

She has been divorced for 15 years and hasn’t had a boyfriend or date in 10 years.

I see her once a month at family gatherings and I bring my wife with me.

At the all day family event I spend alone time with my mother talking about life.

People suggest for me to create a date night, like once a month, for just me and my mom to go out and spend time together.

I refuse to do this! I am a grown up and I am not going to baby my mother.

I think its fair for her to see me once a month and talk to me on the phone twice a week.

A lot of times my wife and I go to dinner with my mother and spend time together on top of seeing her with the family.

Am I jerk for not spending all this alone time with my mom?

She wasn’t the best mom and I don’t really like to see her more than I already do anyway.

Yesterday during our conversation my girlfriend said to me that the thing she most likes about me is that I am sweet and humble! What does it mean when a girl says this? Is it a good thing? For some odd reason I am wondering whether she will lose interest if I stop being funny and if she will become bored of me?

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Well we are sisters but not really close because this has happend before.. I told her about her previous boyfriend hooking up with a girl I know and she didnt believe me... our relationship as sisters was almost ruined cause I was honest.. and the reason I caught him at the hotel was because McDonalds is right across the street and like I said I already had a bad feeling about him.. I want to tell her but I dont want her to be unhappy with me cause she already accuses me of always trying to put her a step behind me... When its not like that but sometimes she can be very naive and her being my sister I hate seeing her this way..

I'm South-African, and my wifes Hungarian. My mother tongue is English, but I also speak Afrikaans, German, Zulu, Hungarian, and Spanish. My wife says we should only teach our 22 month old son Hungarian and English, at the moment. The problem is that: we live in Hungary, therefore our child hears this language every day, and I'm an English teacher, so I don't think he'll have a problem with Hungarian or English. The question is: should we also teach him the other languages that we speak?

I love my mom, but she isn't smart like my dad. We've always known the one who got my dad's brains was my sister. My dad made a lot of money before retiring because he kept getting promotion after promotion. My sister is just the same; she got out of college and kept getting promoted. Right now she makes 5 times more than me.
Should I feel bad I just can't compete?
and should her fiance feel bad 'coz he doesn't make as much either?

I just found out that a relative of mine has cancer, and will die. I have not had a relative die since I was a child, and though I knew this day would one happen, I am feeling really lost and confused. Now as an adult, married with a child, I'm facing the fact that people around me will die. And I just want to know how to prepare? How should I feel? Please, no religious answers (i.e., God will lead you, etc). Real life answers only.

I feel everyday is a challenge to achieve joy, peace and harmony as an individual and as a family unit. How do you feel about this, and do you have anything that you contribute to achieve this, in your daily routine?
