Family - November 2006

got pregnant and we decided to give him up for adoption, even though his father said what he wanted most in the word was a family. we were not emotionally or financially ready. well, he left me last month for his ex girlfriend that he already had a kid with (i think a very big reason is because of what i described above). i had my baby a week ago, but the adoptive family backed out because he had a stroke. he's probably going to have some kind of lasting problem, but it's too early to tell now. anyway, i've been at the hospital every day and now i don't want to give him up, but i honestly don't think i can handle it by myself. i feel like i'm being selfish but i don't know what to do. and his father wants nothing to do with him, but that doesn't matter to me. either way it's going to be hard, whether i keep him or not, and i know in my head i should give him to someone who can take care of him better, but in my heart, i can't let him go. what do i do?

me to have a baby with him. We already have 6yr daughter. He wants a boy. We both want kids. He is seeing someone that can't have anymore children. I told him I would like to do it right (by being married). I still love him but I think he is being selfish. I do believe he still has feelings for me. We have previously talked of getting back together but I think both of us are scared it won't work. We don't want to keep upseting our daughter with the back and forth.

Do you think people are happier (or more fulfilled) now with so much technology or do you think people were happier when they had to do more of the work themselves? Why or why not?

This is our first Christmas without my Dad. He died February 17, 2006. I'm dealing ok with it (I have my moments). I'm worried about my mother though. They were married for 60 years & he was her whole life. Now I worry about her becoming depressed over the holidays. She lives 150 miles from me, but I went to get her for Thanksgiving & she spent a week with my family. She seemed a little distant & withdrawn. We truly enjoyed having her around, but she kept apologizing for "being in the way". She wasn't in our way, but these comments really hurt me.
We bought her a small tree & set it up in her apartment when we took her home & she seemed happy at that moment. But when we left she cried & that really bothered me. I just want her to be happy.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything more I can do for her?

Were involved with the police. I have to make a phone call to try to get him to confess. He lives with my parents. My parents know my brother tried but it didnt get that far. Turns out it got much further,involving mouths. My parents are angry and on my side but Im sure they expect me to "let it blwo over". Theyll be so mad,Im sure. I wish I could give them heads up so theyre not shocked with cps or police show up. Were very close. But if I tell them theyll give my brother a heads up and there goes the case of trying to protect other kids from him. Im not happy Im doing this,I was very close to my brother,but this is unacceptable and my son needs to know speaking up will give him results. What am I to do about my parents? How do I keep cool when they put the heat on me?

I love my Mom. And while we get along, I think Our relationship could get better. I have always felt my Mom doesn't care about me as much as she does my other siblings. Ive tried to talk with her about this but get nowhere. And this morning we had a little tiff over the car. I raised my voice a bit about 10 minutes late I realized that wan't very respectful so I went o her and apologized. But as always instead of accepting my apology she turns it into a lecture abut how I do everything wrong. The thing is I propably spend the most time with her out of all my siblings but she doesn't seem to care. I don't know what to do.

My stepmother and I do not get along. Everything she says seems to be negative, and she always has to complain about what she is given or just her surroundings in general. Many times I have gone out of my way to do something I thought she might like and it seems like she just can't accept me for who I am. She is a spiritualist, they are usually happy people. she goes to church and teaches classes about getting what you want being happy and stressfree etc. but then lives the opposite. This is why I avoid her as to not cause arguments. I occasionally have a messy room, or forget to bring down my laundry, i might leave the bedroom door open and the cat might lay on my bed. I dont normally have time enough between school and work to do dishes or other chores around the house. though i do mine. I'm a high school student graduating with the class ahead of her this year. Im working hard and im very stressed. what should i do?

My dad had a piece of rental property. It was in bad shape the last tenants trashed it, breaking numerous windows ruining all the plumbing by cutting it, the wiring everything. We came in remodeled, and paid rent. He then decided that wasn't good enough he also wanted us to remodel at his house as well. We went there every day we had off and expected us to come out every night as well. We couldn't afford it with driving to his house 40 miles away and still get to work. He didn't care he demanded we be out there. When we went on holiday for Thanksgiving he told us we had no right to any form of personal time. We owed him. My husband wants to move NOW but we can't afford it. Barely able to afford a gallon of gas. My dad has other children too and they ask for help and he doesn't require "slave trade" from them or their spouses. Should we quietly save money up to move away as far as we can? I am greatful he's given us a place to live, but how greatful must I continue to be?

I have a 12 yo daughter that started wearing bras a month ago. She doesn't like it that much, but I thought it was time for her to get started. She resisted a bit, but no big problem, she's a very good girl and I treat her with much love. She promised me she won't disobey and will try to get used to her bras. But sometimes she tries some tricks: She doesn't disobey or make fusses, but sometimes she "forgets" to put her bra on. Then, she gets close to me so that I can see she's braless and maybe let it pass. When I tell her she's braless, she says Oh I forgot. And I make her put it on.
Another trick is resisting learning how to put her bras on. She says it's kinda hard and says I gota help her. Well, I do, but this can't go forever.
Of course, those are childish things and I don't see any big problem, but I'd like opinions on how to handle this situation.

My mom is kinda cool, a great mom. She's a modern woman, a byologist. She strongly encourages me and my 11 yo sister to go to college in the future and become independent women. But in some points she's kinda traditional, so she's a bit overprotective, but I know ot's out of love. Though she's graduated she thinks some of the tradional female roles should be preserved, so, in addition to what modern girsl do, like playing sports, etc, we had to learn a bit about sewing and cooking. When we do our chores at home we have to wear those tradional frilly pinafores with a bowl in the back. She got me and my sister some of them and loves to see us wearing them. Sometimes we have to keep them on even when we're having dinner or lunch or anything else. I get embarrassed, but to mom this kinda important. When we're not doing chortes, we're not exctly forced to wear them, but we ene up keeping them on just to make her happy, cause she asks w/ love. What should I do?

When my baby woke up this morning her ear was red and very swollen. I called the doc and told her what was happening. She said that more than likely she has an ear infection. She told me the best treatment for it is to boil some tea and let it cool for 10 minutes and then slowly pour it into her ear. Is this a good treatment for an ear infection?? Have you tried this method?

I've just started a new relationship, about two months in, and we have been spending a great deal of time together. My girlfriend has a 5 year old daughter whose father is not in the picture. My girlfriends daughter is starting to play up and getting a bit jealous of our relationship. I have spent a lot of fun time with the daughter and tried to do things together. We are now at a point were the daughter is starting to rescent me and I am backing away because I don't want her to hate me. I have talked openly with my GF about spending less time together, so they can spend a bit more quality time together, but she see's me as getting cold feet. I seriously want to be a big part of both their lives, but don't want to intrude either.

We already have two daughters (9&7). My husband is 40 and i am 30, have been married for 10 years now. Everyone around keeps telling me i should have another baby. My husband keeps telling me he has no problem, having or not having another baby, he will still be happy, but then i hear him asking our daughters do you wish to have a new sister or brother? And their answer was a big YES.
I do not know what i should do. i love my family a lot , more than anything else and yet i do not think i can go through all this again, i do not have this patience anymore. I think in my age now i need to relax and look after myself and my family too.
Do you think i am being selfish to think that way?

It seems to me that grandparents love their grandchildren more than their own sons and daughters. Why do you think that is ? Or is it a wrong assumption and grandparents just miss the period when their children were young, and their relationship with their grandchildren is their way of bringing back those feeling of having kids and watching them grow up, after their own children grew up and are no longer dependent on them and barely even visit ?

she doesn't want to listen. We live in a neighbourhood that once was decent, but is now gone to druggies on the left and right of us.. I am waiting for spring so I will move out of this neighbourhood.. I wonder why she is acting like this when I raised her properly, but on the other hand, as a child she has always been hard headed. My automatamatom is straighten up or I will have to walk away. It hurts very much, because it is my children. She says she is not doing anything, but I have seen many questionable evidences.
