Family - August 2006

I have a brother who is 14 years older than me. we shared so much life together and faced family dysfunction due to parental alchohol and physical, emotional abuse and recovery together.He married a woman 30 years ago who was very jealous of me and my younger sister's relationship with him. We accepted her but she kept finding fault with us. Two years ago she was finally able to cut us out of his life. For awhile he'd see us or call us secretly. But another sibling who is accepted by his wife told. He was told to choose. Now he is terminal. My younger sister has talked to him on the phone. I was told by his daughter-in-law that " They were not ready to talk to me." I said I'd respect that without rancor. Now my other fmaily members take issue with me for that. They say if I loved him I'd insist. i say I need to respect his wishes and hold him as I always have in my heart and memory.What say you?

well i am going thru divorce and his child continued to live with me, which is fine ( I loved her as one of my own) well she has been going thru some rough times lately and started experimenting on things that EVERY teenager does so I dont blame her for that. I called her father to come and get her and tell him I can't be responsible anymore for her actions... 1)she isn't technically MY DAUGHTER and 2) I have another daughter that I have to be responsible for...Well she was very insistant that she didn't want to live with her dad before all this started but I felt as though she started taking advantage of me? When I told her it was my choice she said she never wanted me in her life again..THAT HURT cuz I thought i was doing what I could to keep her happy and she came back yesterday to get some more of her stuff and didn't say a word to me... did i do the right thing by making her go with her dad? I loved her as she was my own, but the decisions she started making effected all of us???

In the UK "do gooders" are trying to get a ban lifted by the authorities so that Fat women can get free IVF treatment.

This seems wrong. If Fat women have caused themselves to be unattractive that no one is prepared to have sex with them. It's their own fault.

On top of that as an issue, when their kids grow up they have to live with either:

The social stigma of having a fat Mum
Being fed sh*t food cos the mum obviously can't feed herself properly, and will pass this "skill" on so her kids will end up fat as well
and also that she is likely to die early from heart failure or some other Obesity related illness and leave her kids stranded or having to care for her.

Anyway i've said my bit. Anyone agree or disagree.

I'm 22 and just got married last month. My hubby and I both want to start a family quickly. It is logical for us to wait until next August because we will have year to adjust to being married, also we are both graduating from school in April, and if we wait it will give me time to get a good job and be able to go on maternity leave. However, I really want to get pregnant now, he is okay with this, and we'll both be graduated by the time the baby is born, the down side to this option is that I won't be able to get maternity leave (so less income), and I will be pregnant while finishing University, (and I hear pregnacy makes you dumber). I just don't know if I could deal with that while at school. What do you think?

My mother and I have always had a shaky relationship, as did she and her mother. She is anxious, self cautious, insecure, tight with money, she snaps at the least little thing, and you never know what mood she'll be in from one day to the next. We went a year and a half without speaking, and now we're back on good terms. In some ways, it seems like she's changed for the better, and in other ways, she's still the same old person. I live with my father, and she dislikes him. He's helping me pay off a bill that I have for college, and she isn't. She hasn't said anything about helping, either. How do I deal with her now? Is there anything I can and should do?

I am a stay at home mom w/2 small boys. I used to have a great job that made me feel important and independant but gave it up to raise my own kids. It is important to my family that I do stay home but it leaves me feeling unfulfilled. I wipe bums and clean the house and cook dinner and play with toys. I feel very unimportant to my family. I've been told SO MANY times that I am doing an important job and to be grateful I am in a position where I can stay home with my family, but it still doesn't make me FEEL important. Any advice on little things I can do to improve my life?

We have 2 children and mom has plenty of space for us. I can't decide what to do, I plan on going to school while he is gone, If I stay here, a friend will watch the children, if I go there I will have to put them in daycare while I go to school, also If I move there we will get our housing allowance, which will help me save more money. I am sad to leave our house though, and a little anxious about giving up my "own" house.

I have a 1bdrm apartment. My sister decided to move in with me from out of town after she graduated. At first I rarely stayed the night because I would stay at my bf's apt. But now he's been staying with me until my lease is up and we find a 2 bdrm to have an extra room for family/friends. I allow my sister to stay in the room while we are in the living room. She basically claimed the bedroom since she's the oldest. I really don't care. My problem is that when her male friend comes over and they are all up in the room and have their privacy but every night me and my bf are in the living room.
She said that her friend is coming over tonight. I said that they can stay in the living room tonight because I'm not going to let no dude I don't even **** with come up in my home and do whatever while I don't get the same privacy in my own damn place. To myself I'm like, "I pay the damn rent, yall take yall *** in the living room!"

Am I right or wrong?

I'm 13, my mom worries a lot about my breats health and don't want boys staring at them. I'm a C cup, so, she makes me wear bras that give much support and no see-through. But she goes overboard, I don't like those bras, they are confining and hot, especially in the summer. I complained and complained, but she says it's for my best. I don't want to rebel, I know she's sure it's for my best, she's a nice mom, but kinda strict on her bra rules. The bras I gotta wear are at http://www.anita.com/de/en/0,1,104,1478,39236__products-detail.htm They have 4 row of hooks in the back. Not OK for a 13 yo. 1 hour ago I talked to mom again. She said she already told me a lot of times why I need such bras, it's her mother decision, won't back off and doesn't want to hear any more complaints. I Got a bit mad, said I'd take it off at school. She said she'll get to know and I'll have to spend a whole afternoon writing lines like I should keep my bra on. Actually I dont lie to my mom. Am I stuck?
