I am looking for a gift for my little brother, who is turning 13. I don't want to get him any kind of toy (that includes video games) because he is spoiled rotten by my parents and has way to many toys as it is (2 rooms FULL, 1 room used to be the garage, converted to his playroom). I want a gift that is mature and useful for his age. Any ideas?

Okay. . . My sister's husband calls me on a regular basis, (approx. twice a week). He has never come on to me, he's never made a suggestion, and my sister seems like it doesn't bother her at all. He calls at the most inconvenient times, like during supper, or during my shower, or what have you. Just to talk about regular things like how our days were. Is this normal? Is he just trying to be my friend, and get to know me, or not? Should I allow it to continue? Should I just not pick up the phone any more? I don't want to distance myself completely from my sister, so how do I get around the brother in law BEFORE an uncomfortable situation arises? I don't want my husband, mom or dad or my in laws or my sisters in laws or any of my relatives to get the wrong idea and make a rift in the family. There are so many factors to consider!!! What do you think!!!

Her other children always say they are broke. My husband and I usually end up giving her money.

With the upcoming holidays and family members moving out of state, each year it is becoming more difficult to "get together" for the holidays. It has been customary to gather at the family home for many years. Now the children and grandchildren are grown and have families of their own and some have moved far away. I know it's an old habit that's hard to break and we're a close family and enjoy getting together. When is it time for each family to begin their own traditions? What have you tried and what works for your family?

She never listens to reason. Somehow, she thinks she's in love.

He was convicted of trying to solict sex on the internet with what he thought was a 14 year old girl. It was a cop and he was busted. I found out recently that she let him purchase her 12 year old daughter a cell phone. How can I make her see that this is a huge mistake? Or do you think that she will figure it out someday?

You go home for a visit; Mom stocks you up with food and supplies; Dad asks if you need some money.

I have a question about cousins. I am aware that people can have cousins on both sides of the family. I guess you would call them maternal or paternal cousins. What kind of relationship do a persons' cousins from each side of the family have with each other? I know it is not blood related of course but I was just wondering. My dad's sister(he only has a sister) has been married twice with one boy from the first marriage and one from the second marriage so of course their kids are my first cousins. Her husband, my uncle by marriage, has a fifteen year old son. What relationship would that have to me for example? Cousin by marriage? I am just curious.

ok, well i havent seen my dad since i was 3. and ive been having real problems w/ it. i feel lke part of me is missing. but then i met the one female teacher at my christian school and we have gotton pretty close. i starteed doing things w/ her and stuff and soon clinged on to her husband. she seemed perfectly fine w/ it too.

its been while now and im still really close to the both. ive slept over at there house for a week while my mom had to go to court and stuff. i have become really attached to this man. to the point where i actually act like hes my dad.
but lately i feel like hes almost been pushing me away. its been several years that weve been really close and now hes just kinda cutting himself off from me and i dont understand why. i miss him to death and i love him alot (not sexually.) why do i do? do i talk to him or just leave it be?

he argues with me everyday about his homework it is getting very tiring for me.I have taken everything that he likes to do away,and have tried everything that i can think of. But it comes down to us yelling at each other and him usually crying because he get so frusrated. I have been to his school and his teachers and staff are being no help. I am at the end of my rope.And hate seeing him cry, his teacher says just let him take all the trouble at school that he is old enough to be responsible for his own actions but he hasn't been to lunch or recess at school in over 2 months, it is hard on him not being able to have something at school to look forward to but not enough to do his work. I don't know what to do, should i try counseling or will he get through this without my help.

My husband is from Israel and all of his family lives over there. We have 2 children. Lately he has been talking to me about the prospect of us all going to visit his family. I'm hesitant to accept. I don't know how safe it would be, espically when I hear about the bombings. But I feel bad about being selfish because I know he hasn't seen his family in some years-- and he really wants to introduce the kids to his mom, whom is terminally ill. Am I being too selfish? Should I consider his wishes? I don't know what to do!
