Family - December 2006

I have several step kids... One flew in on Christmas day and ended up messing Christmas up completly... I worked all day and we were supposed to open presents hen I got home. Instead my husband drvoe to another city to pick up his son. There went Christmas...

Now.. his daughter flew into town.. with the *supposed* money bags boyfriend of the month and she is asking her father to rent her a veh on his credit card so it will be cheaper ?(they are under 25 and rental cars charge a surcharge) I am against it for several reasons.. 1.) She is an adult and needs to learn to be responsible for herself...2.) Its new years weekend... not exactly safe on the roads to be out at all hours... 3.) The rental car is now our financial responsibility should she get in an accident. 4.) Her brother is an alcoholic and will likely try to drive it.

I am against it.. and its causing a problem with my husband.. am I being unreasonable?

Input greatly appreciated

My sister is in her third trimester with a baby boy due in April. This is the first grandchild for both sets of grandparents-to-be and they are all excited. My sister wants HER parents to be there when the baby is brought home to help out the 1st few weeks etc. The in-laws are insisting on being there as well.

The problem is, the in-laws are such a handful when they visit. They leave their stuff everywhere and do nothing but sit around and eat. Lots of meddling occurs as well...

My sister is real good about being polite and patient with them, but this time with a new baby and all she wants to put her foot down. Anyone out there know a good way she can still have the in-laws around to see their new grandchild without going crazy? We were thinking something along the lines of encouraging them to stay elsewhere, come later or stay for a very short amount of time. Anyone have any thoughts on the best option and know a good way to casually suggest/encourage this option?

I married my husband almost 18 yrs ago. I had a daughter and he had a set of twins. Over the years one of the twins has grown to really dislike me. He has told me to my face that I'm not a good parent to my youngest son and if he had his way he would take him away from me and not let me see him at all. well I know theres no way he can do this. I have not done anything wrong to the twin to make him hate me so much. Now he's getting married and has told me I am not invited to the wedding. All I could do was cry (after he left of course), I feel like he ripped my heart out and stomped all over it. I love him and his twin brother so much. How can I get him to see I'm not a bad person and see how much I love him? Please help!!!! I feel I'm fighting a loosing battle with him. He's starting to get the other twin to dislike me now. I can't handle loosing both of them. They have been in my life for 21 years and feel they are my kids too. Any help out there?

Had a family christmas with the in-laws this year, and like many families we played a game. The game in question being trivial pursuit. Unfortunately I had to go for one those brown art and culture triangles. The question was "What book in the bible tells the story of Moses" and I didn't know the answer - and since then my mother in-law has been less than friendly, and I am quite confused by it.

I am the only child home now. I just turned 18. When I wake up and I have done nothing wrong, I get called dumb and stupid for just having the cordless phone in the bed. I get called ignorant all time. I just want to leave. but I have one more year in high shool. I have to beg to go places with my boyfriend, like I have given them a reason not to trust me. I am so unhappy here. I try to read the bible and my mom tells me that I am the devil, so put the bible down. She talks to me like I am nothing, I just want to make something out of my life so I can leave here and never come back. She puts me down and tell me that I'm not going anywhere. I could go on and on, but its not enough space. I have good times too. But when this happens it gets unbearable. What should I do?

I recently got home from 2 off an on years in Iraq. I guess I haven't really been around to be the best father but yesterday I was going through our computer and I saw some videos of my daughter and her teenage friends ages 15-17 dancing around in their underwear and I also found a bunch of Pictures of them in our bathroom wearing hardly anything! I mean she is lucky she wasn't naked or else I would be in Jail right now for Killing her! But When I confronted her she said thats just what girls are doing these days!!! Is this true? I mean I spent a little while searching through myspace.com and I noticed alot of half dressed girls...what the heck is going on? Does anyone else think this is a problem? Why all of a sudden did it become cool for teen girls to put pics of themselves in thongs all over the net?

Ive just had an arguement (again!) with my mum, but she always calls me a c*ow and a b*itch mainy a time during the arguement. Im sick of the way she treats me and i feel she has no respect for me. Why should I forgive her this time? If a friend spoke to me like that it would be goodbye forever. I wanna wash my hands of my mum and never speak to her again, am I wrong with feeling this angry?

is it fair that adoptions be forever sealed or should the adoptee be able to access those records when the chils turns 18... should the adoptive family be able to access the files when the child turns 18?
I personally feel that the records should be avaiable to the child when the child turns 18 so that if the child wants to find his birth family he can.... a birth parent can choose to give away a child then the child should have the right to find them later... and no the birth parents/family should not have the right to find the child at 18 or later because they already gave the child away once.... I am just lookin for peoples opinions on this

I have been married for three years now. We have grown apart. At the moment I'm not sure I want to get divorced. Is it ok if I move away for 6 months or a year and still stay married. We do not have children.
