Family - September 2006

My brother in law is driving me crazy! When we visit my grandparents he lets his kids run wild (yes my sis too), and he encourages his kids and my kids to wrestle with him in the living room. My grandpa is very nervous, he's 87, and he cringes everytime the kids screech and hit the floor. I tell him over and over to stop but he acts like he's five and stops for a minute and then starts again. My five year old, who loves my brother in law knows better then to wrestle with him at grandpa's because I warn him before we go...but my 18 month old just doesn't understand...he's confused by me telling him one thing and my brother in law doing another...it is driving me and my grandparents crazy. i try to visit at seperate times but occasionally it's impossible. Idon't want to make my Brother in law angry, but how can I get him to stop...should I just lay down the law...
by the way he is 8 years my senior! And his two girls are the awful ones I wrote about before!

Please help

So she thinks she is pregnant. She say abortion is out of the question. fine by me, but I already have a baby's mama. I don't need two. That means Im marrying this time. but she doesn't want to get married. But the way I feel is all or nothing. If she doesn't want to marry me then I don't want to pay child support. can I sue for this? what to do?

My grandma is 75 and has arthritis. She has some trouble getting up from seats and walking.

When we go to family get togethers at her house, she wants to bring everyone their drinks and food like a waitress. She doesn't want people to bother getting stuff for themselves.

She will even be in the middle of eating, stop and get someone a drink. And eat after everyone is done because she spent so much time getting out of her seat.

My wife won't let her do this all of the time.

If my grandma is already sitting, my wife will get up and get whatever she needs. She just politely excuses herself so my grandma doesn't have to feel left out.

My wife says something like this to my grandma, "Thanks for the offer, but you enjoy your food, you work so hard on it! I can go grab what I need and be back in a second!"

After a few years my grandma is cool with it, but my aunt seems to think its rude.

Is it?

My wife has three brothers and is the only girl. She is the second eldest child of the 4. She is in her 20's now, married obviously, is a home owner with a college degree and a career.

Her mother is very hard on her! Nothing she does makes her mom happy. My wife is an overacheiver, she feels she has to be the best at everything to have her mother's approval.

But her mom always has something to say to make her feel like she isn't good enough. Sometimes she seems jealous of her accomplishments too!

Her older brother is an alcoholic, but if my wife drank (which she doesn't) and got drunk then her mother would be disappointed.
Its okay for her brothers to be losers, but she has to be perfect.
She expects so much of my wife, and its impossible to be so the perfect daughter.

Why are some mothers like this with their daughters?

I have heard from other women that this is common.

I'm struggling under credit card debt. Accrued a $20,000 balance. Actually cut up all the cards about around 1995, and for about 5 years after that I did a great job of making payments, cut balance down to a little under $10,000. Then seems like my life fell apart and I couldn't find work, sold my vehicle to have money for rent. Stopped making credit card payments. Moved around a lot and stopped receiving billings.
For several years now I've gotten by without credit cards, living off what I make, oftentimes volunteering at places which provide room and board.
My parents have offered to pay off my balances. They offer, I assume, because they love me. But I'm finding it so hard to accept their gift. I think of it as a mess I made, and I should clean it up, not them.
I know other people who've let their parents give them money, sometimes way more than this amount.
Why can't I just say yes to their gift? Please share if you have similar story. Thanks.

My mom and I have always disagreed and fought on EVERYTHING! I'm 22 now, don't live at home, I am a mother, and a wife. She has always been controlling, and is still trying to run my life. I have never wanted to lead the life that she wants for me, and that really upsets her. She said that she doesn't want to have anything to do with me, and that really hurts, but I'm ready to just accept the fact that she is completely nuts and there is nothing that I can do to try and salvage this situation. The problem is, is that her and my daughter (whom is 3) have a good loving relationship. I trust my mom with her to a point, and don't know how to let them have a relationship if her and I can't have a relationship...it just isn't normal or right in my eyes. What should I do? I feel that I've tried reaching out to her so many times, and she just doesn't want to accept me for who I am. We are both very hard headed people, and I don't think that either one of us are going to change.

I'm 13, my mom worries a lot about my breasts and don't want boys staring at me.I'm a C cup, so, she makes me wear bras that give much support and no see-through. I agree, but she goes overboard. The bras she makes me wear are at http://www.anita.com/de/en/0,1,104,1478,39236__products-detail.htm They have 4 rows of hooks in the back. Though I agree they are good quality bras, I don't like them, they are confining and hot. Not the bra a 13 yo would enjoy, don't u agree? But I have no way out. I did EVERYTHING I could for her to let me wear other bras, but she didn't back off and no one else succeeded either. She says it's for my best and is out of love. I know, but, don't like those bras. She's nice, we have a wonderful relationship and I'm afraid if I rebel or disobey our relationship can be damaged. Is it worth fighting over this bra thing? Since she wont really change her mind, how can I live with those bras? When it's hot they make me sweat!

I'm having surgery, In the past my sister has just invited herself into the hospital rooms when she visits ppl; the Drs allows because she's family or acts concerned and like she belongs. When I'm distressed and coming around I will not get comfort from her pressence. How do I discreetly tell her stay in the waiting room till I'm moved to regular room? There is always a Dr or nurse that doesn't 'know' so that is not an option. She always finds a way to get to the center of activity in these types of situations. What to do/say? Any constructive words I could use to kindly say?

I was just wondering how many people get along with their husbands/wifes parents? If your not married but have children do you get a long with your childs grandparents?
Do you think it is harder to be happily married if you don't get along witht the inlaws and if you don't get along does that contribute to getting a divorce? I would like peoples oppioins and others experiences...Man and Women...Thanx

My wife and I are hoping to conceive soon. We have been together for 5 years and this will be our first child. I am an only child and this will be my mother's first grandbaby.

She doesn't know we are even thinking about conceiving and I have noticed a few things. She said she is getting rid of her truck so she can get a SUV so she has a safe car for children and it could fit many people.

She doesn't have any friends, a boyfriend or anyone else to ride in the car. It would literally just be my mom, me and my wife and any kids in her car. My mom is planning her buying a vechicle because she assumes she will be a grandma soon!

Should I expect her to go overboard, like buy a crib for her house and rearrange her work schedule so she can care for our child often.

Has anyone's mom done this?

My child will be the first baby in many YEARS for my entire family, I think she is getting super excited.

Is this normal for moms to plan things around future grandbabies?

My parents went on a trip and for a month were out. I did what I regret, joined bad crowds, was about t get in seriuos trouble (I didn't). Mom came 2 weeks ago and got to know what I did. I know I messed up, but though mom is treating me with love, she's going a bit overboard w/ my punishment. I only go out with her. Cell phone, internet and friends are controlled. although I can swim on wednesdays, fun only on weekends and with some restrictions. Shes controlling my clothes, only nice shirts over a bra (this will be forever) At night I stay home and spend quality time w/ mom, when we talk about life, right and wrong. This is not that bad, I know I was sidetracked, but such restrictions suck. And since mom wants me full of activities, I'm taking a culinary course. I complained, but mom was inflexible. I hate this course. Tthere are "homeworks", so I spend good part of my free time including saturday mornings in the course or in the kitchen wearing a cute apron, oh!. Till october

My wife and I have been together for 5 years and married for 2.

For the first 3 years of our relationship my mom tried to break us up.

I am her only child and she hasn't had a boyfriend in 10 years, so she was very upset I "left her" for my wife.

For our 1st year of marriage my mom was polite, but didn't seem like she really cared about getting to know my wife.

Now, for the past 6 months or so she has been really nice to my wife.

We go to dinner together and she actually seems like she enjoys talking to my wife.

She has been writing in cards that she knows we will be good parents one day.

She has also written that she is happy I have found a wife that I love very much and she knows I am happy.

The big thing I have noticed is sometimes she kisses my wife on the cheek when she hugs her, she always did that to me, but no to my wife.

Do you think she has finally accepted my wife or do you think its an act?
