Family - December 2006

I am a single male in my 26th year of life. I'm well off, with a steady job, nice apt (soon to be house from the help of my parents), car, etc etc.

I just found out that i'm going to be a father and I do not know how to approach a few people about it (my parents & family specificly and another girl i've been seeing on & off for about 4 years) Me and the mother have decided to stay single and try to be the best damn single parents we can but at the same time, i'm nervous & excited about the news. Any suggestions?

I would like to know people's opinion on this situation...

This morning, I went into the garage to get my shoes and the garage door was left open all night. My wife and her sister were the last ones to come in after some late night shopping. All the kids were in bed, even myself. I immediately told them that they had left the garage door open all night and left the garage door open to prove it. They told me that they were sure the garage door was closed because they had watched it close because they wanted to make sure it would close behind one of our cars. I checked the doors, they were locked. I checked our cars outside that have remotes and they are locked. Logically it didn't make any sense, but due to them defending themselves and me raising my voice to tell them it didn't make sense it was not a win/win situation. Would have it been easier for them to say it was their fault, since they were the last with no explanation or do you continue to defend your statement?

I am 22 yrs old, the eldest of 4 children. Throughout my whole life I have watched my father verbally and mentally abuse my mother (and at times my siblings and I). He calls her horrible names, and puts her down. I feel angry, just watching her completely helpless. I am not siding with my mother; I try to look at the situation as objectively as possible. He twists everything around she does and says to make her seem like a horrible person, and that he is the one suffering. For example; he tells her that she yells, but in reality she does not. He yells when someone does or says one little thing he does not like. I watch him "attach" her for no reason at all. I have observed that he acts as though he is in charge, and it does not matter what anyone else thinks or feels. Only his feelings seem to matter. I believe he is insecure and does this to feel superior. I am tired of him treating my mother this way. I have tried to confront my father before, but then I get it too. Any suggestions?

My brother and I both want me to visit him in WI. I live in Indiana. I can either fly for 30 mins and ride 3 hours by car (he would have to make a 4 hour round trip to pick me up at the airport - me paying for gas of course), or I can be almost delivered to his door by train (14 hours) and save him the trip for almost the same $.

He wants me to take the train. I have a spinal disease and would much rather fly and skip all that time sitting and recoverying from the trip.

Sometimes I wonder, does he really even want me to visit at all? Am I worth that round trip to him? What would you guys say to him?

I've worked on Christmas day in the past just to avoid having to socialize with them. But I'm "stuck" this time. My sister-n-law is a pretentious, snobby brat with 2 sheltered, bratty children. And she wants to come in my house and sit on my couch and push my dog away, saying "I am not a dog person." Well, I'm not a "you" person, so get the h*ll off my couch", is what I should have said. I need some clever advice on how to "get her goat" so to speak.

When people know I haven't spoken to my sister for years (we're polite but by no means friends) and I stopped speaking to my uncle, that they think I must be a very argumentative person. My father passed away just over two years ago, I was very close to him. Within weeks my mum struck up a relationship with a man she courted before meeting my dad. I didn't want my mum to be lonely, I found her moving on without appearing to grieve for my dad very difficult. Anyway she married him six months ago. In the speech, my mums brother announced how pleased he was that his sister had FINALLY FOUND A GOOD MAN........... I was horrified. It sounded like the fifty years my mother had suffered years of abuse. (My father was one of the nicest, kindest hard working men I've ever known) My uncle knows how upset I was (still am) and I left the reception. He shows no remorse and hasn't apologised. Am I wrong to think that he should?

My dad was never there for me for most of my life. Now he is there for me now and I live with him. I have my mom's last name but I want to change it to my dad's last name. Some people think it is a stupid idea. Some people say that I should not change it because I am a female and I will just get married and it will change again anyways. I don't even know if my dad will want to share his last name with me. Then there is my half brother and half sister. (we share the same father but have different mothers) They have our dad's last name too and I don't know if they would want me to have their last name. They don't live in the same state as we do. Their mom and our dad got a divorce and now they don't even get to see my dad or talk to him because their mom wont let them. So anyways.....I don't know if I should change my last name because my mom will be upset. I don't know what to do. Please help. Thank you.

Does anyone have any good ideas of what to get? I'm not going to do Bath & Body Works, I've done that for the past few years. I'm just stuck. Any feedback on this would be outstanding!

Thanks!

We are perpetually told that Britain (and England in particular) are bairn loving people...and let's face it, when sex cases are blown up in the usual press, 99.9% of us scream our disgust, with most stalking the streets and towns for paedophiliacs - and also paediatricians...just to show us how intellectually sharp we are.
But the NSPCC figures show that the abusers could be not only be hard-pushed families in council estates, but somewhere far different...and not only at Christmas.
Why do we always presume the 'sex cases', 'nonces' and parents who used their bairns as punchbags are in the minority?

From 's Mom's sweet rolls to Aunt Evelyn peanut log, each of us has traditions and rituals unique to our family.

We do them every year, but barely give them much thought, so do they really matter?

And if you don't do them, do we feel guilty?

Ok, as some of you may look and see i have been asking a lot of questions lately. My boyfriend is in a group home because his dad died when he was young and had no other family to go to. So he was in and out of foster homes. He got in some trouble yesterday for getting in a fight and is supposed to be getting some time in Lakeview. A detention center for boys. He will be there for 6 months to a year. I think i am pregnant but i wont be 18 till July. I want to have this baby. But my grandpa will not let me. He has guardianship over me. If he finds out i will be in deep ****. My boyfriend is also wanting to run today until after christmas so he can spend it with me and his mom whom he hasn't seen since he was 3. He's had it really rough. i love this boy and we are gonna get married when he gets outta where he be going. I just don't know what to do about being pregnant and not telling my grandpa. can i keep it a secret till July, at least from him? it's an upheavel of madness

I am in a serious relationship with my boyfriend of 5 years. We're talking about marriage. He has 2 children. Whenever they have events, such as, plays that they are in or sports. I never get invited. I'm not sure what my role is, but how should a blended family deal with this? Am I to stay out or what? They are still in elementary school. Do you think my boyfriend should be the one to say something or say nothing at all? Thanks. I really do love these kids.

My situation is that my husbands 15 year old daughter has moved in with us. Probably a temporary basis as she is having some major issues with her mother. I don't necessarily agree with her just moving out, as she needs to work things out with her mom. My husband works out of state and that leaves me to discipline her. It's a tough position for me to be in. She expects to be able to do what my children do but we have to take into consideration the past several weeks of her own actions. She is trying to push my buttons, asking to do things she knows she isn't supposed to do, staying up late, talking on phone non-stop etc.. I don't want to tick her off but I have to discipline to some extent.....very frustrating. She has been with us for a week now, going to see her Mom and Sisters for the first time tonight. Mom has not talked to me at all about the situation which is strange!
Does anyone out there that has been in a similar situation have any advice?
