Family - December 2006

I've asked a couple of questions about moving with my child. Who I went to court over and got custody. WHY IS IT SOOOO BAD FOR THE DAD TO GET CUSTODY? The mother never even showed up for the custody hearing.

I have 4 beautiful children, and each one of them have their own ways to make them the unique person that they are. But my oldest daughter is 6yrs old and she mimics anyone of her sibilings when she thinks they are getting any kind of attention: like if her sis is singing and I comment on good she sounds thats when she will start singing over her until she gets a compliment. Also she has to try and to get approval/praise for everything she does! And she always have to be right and if she not or she will go into her little shell & cry to herself, like she have did something wrong or let the world down. I know she is going to be a perfectionist, but how do i let her know that she need to be herself according to her age.

Well, here's the deal. I want to surprise my mom and dad with breakfast in bed tomorrow! Problem is, I'm not a great cook, lol, and I'm so used to having stuff prepared for me, that I am afraid I will mess something up! :( This is the menu so far:

Apple Crumble
Biscuits (fresh and homemade!)
French Toast and
Some sorta egg dish

My question is, will this recipe work (FYI...I totally and completely just made this up from the top of my head):

If I take the same dough from the biscuits and put scramlbled eggs inside it (like the dough will be in a fancy cup shape) will the eggs burn, and will the meal taste good overall? What if I put raw eggs inside the cup shaped dough balls?

Thanks...oh and any other enticing recipes (that are easy) are welcome as well.

My parent's had me when my dad was like 38, an same age for my mom. I'm 15 and OMG they are like 53 and my dad is almost 54. What an embarassment. Like seriously O.M.G. I can't even let my friends see my parents ... and I'm popular ... so people are around me alot and it's hard to not let them see my parents. My mom almost has like grey hair, and I'm like "mom, die your freaking hair ok?" Like OMG me and my mom where at Food Lion and the girl at the checkout goes "Awww your helping your grandmother at the grocery store?" , I felt like telling that gothic skank to mind her own business.

I can't go on like this. I'm going to loose all my friends and my reputation and popularity if they are exposed to my parents any more than they have been. What the hell am I supposed to do?

My sister and I got into a psyhical fight on Friday. Twice....I was on the sofa screaming at her and she started to hit me so I kicked her. Then I was sitting on the kitchen floor and she started to kick my stomach. I tried to kick her back but was in pain....my dad didn't do much just laugh like a ***. Then I just cried my eyes out...she also threatend to kill me. I finally got hold of my mom (who she yelled at me earlier saying she didn't give a **** about me) That hurt me so bad when she said...I told her what happened. Then called my friend Mike and told him what happened. He got pissed....he wants to get me out of my house but can't cuz of no ride. Alot of people told me to call the police but I cant cuz my parents put a code on the phone where I can't dial out. Also my cell phone was cut off...I tried to leave on Friday and my dad blocked me. I am tired of this ****. I need to know if theres a place I can contact by e-mail. Cuz I can't dial out

Saddest poem I've read. Don't read if you are already depressed. here it is:

I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead
I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending
Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road,
the other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say,
the other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm lying here dying, Mom.. I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.

Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

in canada, or maybe the uk if you don't know about canada, what is the legal age when instead of listening to your parents pi$$ and moan at you, you can tell them to just get f**ked?? (in other words when are you your 'own boss'). Please help! I'm eager to stop listening because I'm starting to get pissed off about being told what to do and my parents thinking that they do stuff 'because they can'. GRRRRR! I don't want to run away from home or anything drastic though.

Thanks people!!!

We split up 8 mths ago, as we never made each other happy, however throughout these months he's been trying to get back with me declaring his love, making promises, I know he'll have no intentions in keeping. In the meanwhile he'll be telling lies about me to my mother, and recently one of my sisters, making them feel sorry for him and talking ill about me. After our split I had no choice but to move back home, but his vindictive motives is making home life very difficult. He acts like a schzoid as he's nice one moment and completely mean the next. I'm on an emotional rollercoaster and if I had a choice would have nothing to do with him, but I could never deny him of his child and will always give my baby the oppourtunity to know his father. It's hard because this is all very heartaching and mentally draining. If he can turn my mother against me what else is he capable of? I told him today i'll never get back with him, amongst other things he stated " i'm a darkhorse" I'm worried?!

Ok, I'm sure this applies to quite a few other people. My mum insists that I am in bed by 10:00pm and I am 15 frikken years old!!! It annoys me and sometimes I answer back (big mistake!). Does anybody have any tips to convince my mum that a 15 year old should be able to make this decision himself, or maybe even go to bed at 10:30pm or something. I feel like a little kid and I get f**k all freedom. Please help!

My sister and I use to very close but 5 years ago when I got pregaunt she started hating me (she has always hated children)
and for years she has been very rude to me and my husband and son. (like slamming doors in my sons face and yelling and storming off to her room when we go visit my parents) and now I find out that for years she's been slandering me on her online journal that everyone can see. She has said alot of mean and cruel and untrue or extra exagerated things about me. Including that she's ashamed that I am her sister. She calls me a breeder on there and she is plotting on how she can ruin my life. She once said on there that she was going to call social services on us for things that are not true. She thinks because my son has ADHD that we must be bad parents. and we are excellent parents. She has used my first name and my husbands and sons first names too in her online journal. She doesn't use anyone else's first names only mine and my familys. Please any advise?

Okay, now that I've taken time to collect myself and call my mother, let me calm down and tell you what's going on.

We adopted my brother "Jess" about two or three months ago. Anyway, he came from an abusive background, and for awhile, it was rough around the house.

When I learned that my uncle had been abusing my brother (my real brother) and "Jess," I pulled a few strings, and to make a long story short, he's arrested.

He's been threatening my real brother ever since he was placed in prison - I don't know what kind of threats, but it was enough for my bro to admit he was freaked out. (He's 15.)

Now, my brother is three hours late past his cerfew, and we have recieved news that our uncle's broken out of jail. My brother asked a question to my dad, and my dad punched him.

Shortly after I asked a question here I called my mom, and she's on her way home. I'm scared that my broter was kidnapped but no search is going on. What should I do?

One of them is missing. I wouldn't normally worry, but he's an hour past cerfew and we learned that my uncle (who had been abusing both of them) broke out of jail 4 hours ago.

My dad got really stressed out. I understand that, of course, but my other brother asked him a question and got punched in the eye, hard. He's freaking out (my brother). He comes from an abusive background.

I'm a mess. My mother is still at work and doesn't know, my dad's upstairs in his room, and the police won't start a search for my brother until tommorow morning (mostly because it is dark out.) I don't know what to do. Should I call my mom? Should I calm my brother down? I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dad won't let me leave the house to search for my brother, either.

The parents have been very laxed with her. They have given her a lot of freedom without any limits. She is unable to make good decisions for herself and is lying to them and doing things they would disapprove of behind their backs. Stuff that will harm her in her future. I told the girls sister and parents. The 'rents are angry with me for telling the sister. They somehow want me to take responsibility to reform the situation. I am a relative who lives far and am not the same age The girl doesn't speak to me except maybe 2x a year. I have gotten nasty emails and phone calls from the parents. Do I respond to them? Do I remain silent? What can I do/ I really don't want to take responsibility for the situation. She is so far into things that I don't feel she will change. And when she doesn't the blame will be on me for not getting her out. I can't take the emotional blackmail. What would you do?

I'm a single disabled mother and therefore my daughter and I live with my parents. They do a lot for us and I would really like to get them a Christmas gift, even though I keep saying I'm not doing Christmas because there isn't money for it. I recieve assistance because I am unable to work(for now, I am working at getting better) - that is how I support my daughter and myself (as much as possible). I can only afford about $30 total, and even that is tight. My parents do so much for everyone else and are very close to us. Please help with some ideas ASAP.

My dad has only been doing that for the past 2 year or so, and that's when he started drinking more...

One of my sisters invited everyone of her friends and family to look at her online journal and so I went to it and there was a lot of stuff on there about me but it was blown way out of proportion and It was very hurtful and I didn't know that she hated me and my family so much. In one thing she even said that she is ashamed to be my sister. oh I was the only one that she used there real name on her journal and she also used my son's and husbands names too!
She is sick in the head but I have still loved and cared for her. She is still living with our parents and I'm thinking on telling my folks that I will not be going there anymore untill she moves out... Would that be bad for me to do because my parents are not the ones saying all this stuff?
