I used to work for my Dad, then after finding out my husband and I were expecting our first child, we handed our 5 weeks notice and moved back to the UK. During the 5 weeks, my Dad was spiteful and rude and always made me cry (I was very emotional - and gave up smoking!!!) so I was even more stressed. Now I'm back in the Uk I haven't spoken to him in 2 months. I've tried to keep in touch with emails and sent him pictures of my scans and what we're up to, but all his replies are 'off' and distant and I got one today, bulleted points of how we left him in the **** and all this work he's had to do. not even asking how I am again. I think we did everything right. Surely at 24 i have the right to make my own decisions in life.
Should I just give up on him, or just realise it's HIS problem not mine and keep trying to fix our relationship? I've just realised I don't like him as a person.

My mother is very protective and she wont let me go out without her. She dont even want me to have a boyfriend but I do anyway. She has always been this way but it was understandable when I was younger but now that I am 18 is seems to be more of her not trusting me than her protecting me. We havent really been getting alone lately and our way of fixing things are not working. What do you suggest I do to fix our relationship and get her to losen her reignes?

My husband and I are in our fifties. We have had our own business for the last 10 years. We sold our last business in January this year. The sale went terribly wrong due to the buyers defaulting on payment, shutting our business and emptied our shop, of stock, and assets. We had to give up our home, put our furniture in store, and are living in a little back room. I feel as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel, and instead of waking up with a smile, I open my eyes and think "Oh God am I still here"? My poor husband could only get a barmans job. Works from 4pm till sometimes 2-3am in the mornings. Its so hard and so unfair. We are honest people and worked hard for what we had.

My husband has 2 kids from a previous marriage. His daughter is 12 & son is 10. I have a 4 yr old son also from a previous marriage so now we have a joined family. My husbands son is a well mannered, easy goin, wonderful kid, & his daughter is just the opposite! She's very disrespectful to her dad & talks to him like a dog but for some reason he kisses her butt & babies her & lets her get away with everything! And if his son does any little thing wrong (which is hardly ever) he jumps all over him! He's not really that loving & jumps all over my son too. Everyone can see that he makes a difference in all the kids but him of course. He told me that he'll always love his two kids more than my child because you love your own kids way more than a stepkid. Everytime i try to talk to him about it, he gets defensive, makes excuses for the way his daughter acts, & denies that he treats her better than his son or my son. Can anyone relate to this? Anyone got any advice? Is this fair?

yesterday i got grounded because i unplugged my dads cell phone charger. he said i need to learn that i cant just do what i want when i want. he calls me disrespectful when im really not. i never do anything against my parents. i never did drugs, drank or had sex. i dont even have my license and im 18, my dad doesnt feel its his responsibility to teach me to drive. he also gets extremely mad when i spend the night at anyones house. i asked my mother if i could stay with one of my friends without asking my dad first and he pounded his fist on the computer desk. calling me disrespectful. its gotten to the point where i dont even want to be around him. i avoid being in the same room as him. i really dont know what to do, i feel like im in a prison living with him. i wish i could move out but i dont even think he'll even let me. he also yells at my mom, saying she f***ed us kids up. that hurts a lot. im a good girl and try hard in school, and i am respectful towards other people.

for any of you who have read my questions about my neighbor and how horribly she's raising her grandaughter. (whom she tells is her daughter)I recently noticed something, all this lady ever talks about is how she thinks god sent her the girl so she wouldn't be lonely & how the girl loves her more than her son did. This makes me wonder if all the things she's doing with this girl: keeping her morbidly obese, teaching her to be racist against blacks even though the girls real mother is black & the father half black, keeping her out of school saying she's sick but then going shopping and out to lunch, calling her bitches and whores almost all day long. The father whom she also "raised" is a hot mess right now at 30 & everyone knows the little girl is going to be screwed up in th head later in life, I wonder now is she doing it on purpose so she'll have nothing to do but stay at home all her life & keep her company. Is this some kind of disorder or is this lady just selfish?

The boyfriend might not be there, he may have to go to jail. (fifth offense D.U.I.). I'm expecting some resistance because this would definetly put a new spin on the holidays. Am I out of line here?

Strongest Dad in the World
[From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly]

I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to
pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots.

But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.

Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in
marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a
wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming
and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the
same day.

Dick's also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back
mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. on a bike.
Makes taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?

And what has Rick done for his father? Not much--except save his life.

This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick
was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth, leaving him
brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.

``He'll be a vegetable the rest of his life;'' Dick says doctors
told him and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. ``Put
him in an institution.''

But the Hoyts weren't buying it. They noticed the way Rick's eyes
followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the
engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was
anything to help the boy communicate. ``No way,'' Dick says he was
told. ``There's nothing going on in his brain.''

"Tell him a joke,'' Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed. Turns
out a lot was going on in his brain.

Rigged up with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor by
touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able
to communicate. First words? ``Go Bruins!'' And after a high school
classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the school organized a
charity run for him, Rick pecked out, ``Dad, I want to do that.''

Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described ``porker'' who never ran
more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still,
he tried. ``Then it was me who was handicapped,'' Dick says. ``I was
sore for two weeks.''

That day changed Rick's life. ``Dad,'' he typed, ``when we were
running, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!''

And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with
giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such
hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston
Marathon.

``No way,'' Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyts weren't
quite a single runner, and they weren't quite a wheelchair
competitor. For a few years Dick and Rick just joined the massive
field and ran anyway, then they found a way to get into the race
officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the
qualifying time for Boston the following year.

Then somebody said, ``Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?''

How's a guy who never learned to swim and hadn't ridden a bike since
he was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon?
Still, Dick tried.

Now they've done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour
Ironmans in Hawaii. It must be a buzzkill to be a 25-year-old stud
getting passed by an old guy towing a grown man in a dinghy, don't
you think?

Hey, Dick, why not see how you'd do on your own? ``No way,'' he
says. Dick does it purely for ``the awesome feeling'' he gets seeing
Rick
with a cantaloupe smile as they run, swim and ride together.

This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th
Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters.
Their best time'? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992--only 35 minutes off
the world record, which, in case you don't keep track of these
things, happens to be held by a guy who was not pushing another man
in a wheelchair at the time.

``No question about it,'' Rick types. ``My dad is the Father of the
Century.''

And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he
had a mild heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of
his arteries was 95% clogged. ``If you hadn't been in such great
shape,'' one doctor told him, ``you probably would've died 15 years
ago.''

So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other's life.

Rick, who has his own apartment (he gets home care) and works in
Boston, and Dick, retired from the military and living in Holland,
Mass., always find ways to be together. They give speeches around
the country and compete in some backbreaking race every weekend,
including this Father's Day.

That night, Rick will buy his dad dinner, but the thing he really
wants to give him is a gift he can never buy.

``The thing I'd most like,'' Rick types, ``is that my dad sit in the
chair and I push him once.''

Here's the video....

as theydo not respect her,and behave with her personally very rude.they keep on taunting.they are in mumbai,but want to come and stay with my sister in DXB.she is very tensed as she has to handle them.how much ever she does,they are rude.she feels very lonely,no doubt her husband supports her,but men are always under limitations-as his own parents.her sister-in-law stays in DXB,so its going to be a gang of people,and she will have to follow their way of living-spending the day as per they want.Eg:as when she visits at mumbai,they cook food only once,does'nt matter if she's hungry,and is served at 5 in evening.things are even sick,as they keep on comparing things with her sister-in-law.where my sister is thousand times better in looks,study,creativity etc.her mother-in-law,bitches about her to everyone she meets,so people do not talk to her frankly,so has limited people to talk.her in laws keep on asking for more and more money(giving to daughter) from them,as then she has less savings.
