Family - December 2006

I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters, and none of us seem to be able to get along. Over the years we have all gone our own ways. Our parnets have not helped matters either, they dont get along with all of us. How can I get us all together and hash all our issues out. My mother pits all us kids against each other too. We are all grownups, if she is mad at one of us, we are all suppose to be mad and not talk to them because she is not talking to them. But nothing is ever her fault.

Hi I'm a mother of 3 boys, 4, 8 and 13. I've been having some problems with the 8 year old. Well yesterday after school the 13 year old and 8 year old got into again for the 3rd time this week so I sent them up to their room for time out. They share a room and they started fighting again. So i went up there and got a little mad.

I told the 8 year old enough is enough and told him he was getting spanked (he had this coming a long time). So i grabbed the desk chair, hauled him over my lap, and gave him a good one on his bare bottom.

My 13 year old was laughing and thought this was funny. So I told I him "I don't know what your laughing at because your next." I wasn't planning on this, but after I was done with the 8 year old, I grabbed the other one and he put up a bit of the fight, but he ended up getting the same treatment as his brother.

I feel bad and am not sure i did the right thing.

When my daughter was pregnant with our grand-child her Mother in law would tell mutual friends that she feared my husband and i would monopolize the baby and never let her have the baby for visits or anything.She told people that we were possessive and that we didnt like her.
After the baby was born i sat this lady down and i told her she was wrong about my husband and i and i extended an open door invitation to out home to get the baby or visit when ever we had her.And her Mommy and Daddy were at school or work.She accepted and life went on.
Now she only wants the baby on her terms.She refuses to keep the baby when asked because she feels used.In 14 months she has kept the baby 4 times. She rarely visits and does not include the baby in any of her side of the family functionsShe still tells people that we wont let her have the baby and when we do it only because we need a setter. This person has me confused and a bit angry at the way she acts.What would YOU all do if it was you?

My husband & I had a pretty big falling out with his mother about 4 years ago...He basically cut her out of our life 6 months before our son was born. She has never met him...& she has only seen a picture of him once when we ran into her at the courthouse..other than his newborn pic that I sent her & she told me that it would be best if we didn't communicate. My husband didn't want me to show them his picture, but I was trying to do the right thing, & that is the repsponse I got. She has not sent him one single card or present since he's been in this world..nearly 3 years! She has another "grandson" that is alledgedly my husbands, but there is a pending DNA test for him. My husband wants me to send one of our son's Christmas picture greeting cards to her..basically so she can stare at the picture knowing that it's her biological grandson that she seems to want nothing to do with. I don't really want to send it to her because I don't want her to take it as "everything must be ok"?

I tried asking this question before and left out a few details - so I"ll try again. My 30 something year old brother is being irresponsible with his money and his life basically...he has a wife and 2 kids and has never kept a job longer than a few years. They've been homeless, they've been foodless and they've been car-less. The more and more time that goes by that I don't say anything we grow apart more and more. I care more about my brother than I do about the irresponsible life he's leading. I miss him in my life, I miss him in my kids lives....do I tell him or just let him do his thing? He and his wife are very self involved and I think saying something will only make him drift further away, but I'm afraid trying is the only way I'll ever know.

pretzel position with his arm under his leg. I am shocked!!! To say the least. I think he knows I caught him. He turned around just as I took off down the hall. We haven't spoken all day. I am upset my Jerkins hand lotion has been disappearing; now I know why. Should I break the silence? Make a joke about it? Pretend it didn't happen, or what? Stupid "Girls Gone Wild" caused all this drama. Can't we girls stop flashing our goods for the sake of little brothers world wide?

Ok, so this is the story. My sister is 16 and I am 19 almost 20. My sister came to me and asked me to have sex with her. I told her no, and she said if I didn't that she'd go have sex with some stranger. Knowing that my sister would do that just to prove a point (this is going to sound disgusting) I ****** her. Anyways i thot that was that but then she asked me last night to have sex with her again. i told her no it's wrong and i won't do it. then she said if you don't i'll tell mom and dad that you raped me. do you think she will really do this? what should i do?

If you were backed into a corner and had to make a choice with your dad do you stand your ground and for what you believe is right or do you just give in? For the full story you can read my other question about my dad moving. But this is what it comes to I either stand my ground against my dad who was never there for me or just throw in the towel.

My sis inlaw (both married into the family) were pregnant at the same time. My mother inlaw threw her a babyshower. We both had a shower already. Hers thrown by her family & I by my friends, I have no female family. I feel this is rude and I got my feelings hurt and MIL can't understand why. I did attend SILs second shower by the way. At my shower my MIL did not even talk to me other than a hello. Rude?

My parents got divorced almost 4 years ago when my mom found this other man. Soon after the divorce my dad had a steady girlfriend. The whole thing was hard since I was only 16.

The current situation is that my mother has let me move into her boathouse while she lives with her boyfriend. My father and I dont get along so it worked out for the best. Well every single day since I moved into her house she had called me almost every single day.

This week with finals, and work it was just too much. My mom calls me for silly things too...Every day three missed calls from my mom on my house phone and cell phone. I feel confined and constricted...Its driving me crazy!!! Here Im almost 20 and my mother treats me like a child!
So today I couldnt hold it in I exploded. I told her that her constant calling was driving me insane, for just one day I didnt want her to call. She took it so offensively and said its either she calls me everyday or I move back with my father...

What do you think?

every time she walks the room its annoying, because i'm trying to answer you guys' questions. i don't think she will approve of me going here, so i just shut this down when she comes in the room. For the last week she was accusing me of "doing something that i shouldn't be doing".

She said that again today and i just walked away because i felt harrassed. it was funny on monday, but now it's not.

how do i come here without having to sneak? also, how do i gain my mom's trust bacl

P.S my mother is very smart and nice, but this assumption is unexceptable

No this isn't Cinderella.

My step sister whose 18 had a baby boy a year ago when she was 17. Before she had the kid she dropped out of school, and now she won't go back. She doesn't have a job either. But this isn't about those problems. She spends maybe 4 hours a day every other 3 days at home with her baby, and even then she only yells at him and tells her parents that they don't know how to raise him. The rest of the time she is out drinking and smoking with friends and her boyfriend. She sleeps at her boyfriend's house and basically lives there now. The only time she comes home is when she needs to do her laundry. My father and step mother have had to re-arrange their jobs and scheduals to take care of the baby since my step sister is hardly ever there. Is there something that can be done to teach her about raising the kid herself? Or should I just ignore the situation and let the boy grow up without knowing his mother?

OK, I’m 15 years old and when I grow up I want to be a stay at home mom with a large family. I want to have 5-8 kids and also adopt 5-8 kids, so yeah, we’re talking a really large family. I want to live out in the country somewhere not the city, preferably Tennessee. This is what I’ve wanted to do since I was really little. I have no other career choice in mind, nothing appeals to me. All of my friends want mini coopers, I want a mini van. I love to do chores and clean the house, and also love babysitting for other people. Also, I like putting together baby names and have all my future kids names picked out. Is this normal? It’s not like I’m 20 or anything, only 15. and is there really a guy out there who would want to have as many kids as i do? Please offer any advice that you can. And please no stupid remarks. Thanks!!!

What should I do? Should I just leave them alone and let them do their thing? Am so scared for my 3-years-old daughter co'z my step-son is not been very good at her. He never treat her like his sister. I'm scared that when he's high on pot, he might hurt my daughter and me when his dad is not home.

Can anyone give me advice on what to do. Thank you.

WDF is wrong with people these days. My friend, sixteen, was abused for a long time. I found out that his mom did drugs and his dad abused him. So we went to the police station, they blew us off. I reported annonomusly several times to social services, they NEVER did anything about it.

I'm afraid to let my friend go back at his house at a.ll. I've tried to talk to my parents, but they won't budge. I'm thinking his dad is paying somebody off, but I don't know what to do.

HELP!

And there is eveidence of abuse!! A lot of it -- he's showing most of the symptoms, and I even witnessed some!
