Family - December 2006

Lately, my Dad has had a very negative attitude and is making me want to avoid him. He is getting older now, maybe his personality is changing a bit and/or maybe he's just getting grouchy and I'm not used to it.

Last year he broke his leg and had to have an operation and luckily he's able to walk again. I wonder if his leg never fully heeled and he's in pain. Also, my mom & dad have been married almost 30 years and in our family, it's her way or no one's way. I wonder if he's a little tired of that. She has alot of strange idiosyncrasies!

The last month or so, I have had my own personal stress/anxiety issues that I'm trying to work on. It's so hard to stay positive and have an upbeat personality around him, when he's down and complains alot. What can I do?

Well, what happened was me Llama Shadow and mother went xmas shopping in Cheltenham. We left brother behind to look after the kippers, they were a bit upset after 'Old Father Rumples' departure. When we came back we walked in and there was a strange noise comig from the livingroom. We went in and our family album photos were scattered all over the floor! Brother was naked with his back to us and there was something spraying everywhere onto the photos and brother was grunting and his arm was moving quite fast! At first I thought he was dancing to Chris Rea but then Mother shouted at him and said 'Stop sperming on the family album!' , She started to dance and Llama joined in. I mean, it would have been ok if the photos werent getting ruined. Anyway, my question is, is there any way I can save them? sent

I have a 10yr old granddaughter, & I'm having a hard time thinking of good gift ideas for her. She's at that age that I really don't know what she's interested in anymore. At age 10, she is no longer a little child, but she's not a teen yet, either. She's a middle child (older brother is 16, younger sister is 6).

The last time she stayed with us for an extended visit we read a book to each other, & worked on some children's crafts. She'll soon be starting her 1st yr playing b-ball for her school. She is a creative & fun-loving child, but I also believe she has a inferiority complex, partly because she's a tiny bit overweight, & her little sis takes the limelight. I doubt if there's a gift out there that will help her with that though!

We're low-income, living on DH's soc. sec., so we can't spend a lot. I figure around $20-$25 is all I can afford for each of my grandchildren. I have more than 3 grandchildren to buy for, plus everyone else on my list.

Any suggestions?

for the past 6 years we've done the family thing, we would like a bit of time for just the two of us but we've got mums to think about. Our siblings are tw*ts who do whatever they like at Christmas but I dont want my mum to be on her own or my girlfriends mum to feel left out.
Any suggestions please?

I have been looking for my father for 13 years. I just know came across him or should I say His wife. She says that she dose not know where he is and she will let him know that I am looking for him. I have a feeling that he is right there and no one is telling me.. I was a result of an affair my mother had with a married man. I Just do not know where to go from there. How do I find him if no one will let me talk to him? Where do I go from here? I just want to know my father that is all.

I need advice on staying strong when it comes to my sister taking advantage of me. See I live w/her and her family. I moved in like 2 yrs ago to help her take care of her kids while she worked. But now that she's unemployed, it just seems as though she's being meaner towards me. I do the cooking, cleaning and on occasion take care of the kids so that her and her husband go out. But at the same time, I STILL pay rent. I don't know how to stand up to her demands and not get kicked out. I can't afford to move out. I'm trying to get a 2nd job but my sister is looking too. She expects me to take care of the kids if she does find a job. How can I tell her she's on her own w/o her or my bro-in-law hating me? I hate the tension.

Help please?

I cant help it but I really fancy my Sisters-In-Law, 1 is 16yrs & the other is 18yrs, they both have gorgeous bodies, both are very pretty & both have the best chest you could ever see. I'm in my 30's & have been living with their older sister for the past 8yrs. I have watched both of these Babes grow-up, but I can't help myself, I really want to bed them. (Although the thought of bedding both my Sisters-In-Law at the same time would be one of the first thing I'd wish for if I ever found a Genie.) & I would be lying if I said I hadn't fantasized about that on more than one occation. It all started a few years ago, just before the 18yr old left school, She would flert with me, KNOWING that her young newly matured body, dressed in what was a VERY skimpy school uniform, was turning me on. At only 15, she enjoyed knowing she was making me hard, as she pushed her very large breasts out, almost popping the buttons on her blouse & rub them against me. HELP What should I do?

My 36 yr old daugher is a mother of a 9 yr old daughter. She will not bath regularly she refuses to take care of her personal needs. She is very pretty but she goes around town with her daughter looking like a needy person. I refuse to go with her when she looks like this. We fuss over this all the time. I did not raise her like this.As a child she bathed twice a day, always emmaculately. I know she has a depression problem but not so bad she can't bath. I have been told she does this just to anger me. All the family is disgusted with this behavior. I know this is embarrassing to her daughter. She does not have to work so she has plenty of time to take showers.It really makes me sad. Please tell me where she can meet a nice guy to make her take an interest in her appearance. I try to tell her she will be old before long and her nature beauty will be gone. She thinks I am a prune when I advise her to wear make up, dress up, who knows whom she may meet while she is out. MEN TELL HER!!

well this is a long story and may take some time but her goes nothing. when i was 16 my mom met this guy who was then 21. it was wierd but i thought the relationship would pass. i was wrong. me and my mothers boyfriend didnt get along at all and fought all the time and my mother would ALWAYS be on his side. when i turned 18 i decided i wanted out of there. i was tierd of the fighting and the fact that my mother would never let me leave the house to get a job or even met new people. so i had to leave. i left this past spring and she got over it for awhile everything was good until recently. she ran off to marry this boyfriend who is now almost 24 her amlost 37. and didnt tell me about it. my little sister did. that was a week before thanksgiving. i have been trying to call her about my wedding which is in the summer of 2008 and she wont return my calls she wont even let my siblings talk to me. i think its her husband setting these rules not her. should i keep calling? or give up........

My dad has been an alcoholic as long as I can remember and has been making life miserable. Approximately 2 months ago, my dad and I got into a fight and he swore at me, and hit my car and shut off my cell phone service. We hadn't spoken since then as he told me I wasn't welcome in his house.
But today randomly he called me and talked as though nothing was wrong and asked me to come over so he could change the tires on my car.
I don't really want to talk to him, but he his ill (his liver is failing) so I'm not sure if I should go and try and talk to him or just say I'm done taking his crap...etc.

This wouldn't be such a big problem if it didn't happen all of the time. Generally, he gets drunk, gets mad and then expects apologies from me... I just don't want to deal with it anymore, but he IS my dad... So confused. Help, please!
