Family - December 2006

I was 14 and I was in 10th standard, I used to study most of the time, and my mother used to beat me up with shoes, brooms anything she could find,and she used to starve me, sometimes for upto days,I was a shy and quiet kid,not rebellious as I am today, can I be blamed, if I feel bitterness against my mother sometimes?

My future mother-in-law is the most frightening person I have ever met, she is rude and impatient and treats my poor little fiance and I like naughty children (he's 24), she never knocks before letting herself into our flat (she is the landlady so has keys) and we just hear this screech up the stairs that she's arrived, and I am actually starting to think I can hear her voice, even at my parents house or shopping, and I think I'm going mad!!!
How on earth do people cope with mother-in-laws?

your aunt did not visit you for the festive seasons?
she is my mom's younger sister. i feel very sad for my mom(eldest) coz the two and family of dem did not come over to visit .
coz our culture is like the younger sister will visit the older ones 1st.. this has been going on for 4 years.. my mom wonders what did she do wrong. almost all the other 2 years my family visited them 1st like thinking ok nothing wrong to visit ..

the thing (i found out) is one cousin of mine has a caucasian boyfriend (we are south east asian) and imagine brought him along with my aunts family to visit every other relative except of us.. its like saying my family is too poor to introduce..
i can feel that my mom is crying silently... but she say its ok and giving all sorts of reason to cover them when i asked..

what should i do ..

She is rude, flirtatious towards my husband, judgemental, speaks thier language(Korean) even though she his perfectly skilled in English, takes over my kitchen by getting up to get them drinks or food without even asking or impling the guys need refills or whatever, she's neglectful mother, parties too much, and never seems to want to conversate, but when she does she's putting me down or tries to argue any opinion I have. The point I'm trying to make is she a person I could never be friends with but because my brother-in-law has to bring her over with him I want to respect his wishes, but damn-the girl is 26 going on 16, and I'm loosing my patience. How do I tactfully step-up and regain respect in my own home? I had a problem with my husband's cousin-in-law, but I finally called her and told her that in my culture the women respect a man's wife...etc...whicj was easy because I only have to see her at church. i'm not a push-over, in fact I am strong spirited...I have to be tactful.

when im with my dad in public he'll make it completely obvious he's staring at women, by mumbling stuff under his breath. it makes me feel so uneasy cos he'll stare at girls my age too. I know he wouldnt perve over me but it makes me feel so uncomfortable. ive told my mum about it and she just accepts it as 'all men stare at pretty women' but his is not just a quick glance. besides i think he has put my mum through some sh*t before i was born. I'll try asking him a question, say were out shopping, and he won't pay attention to me cos of him staring at a girl's backside. Ive tried talking to him about it saying it makes me feel uneasy but he'll just get really angry with me (he has a nasty temper). he has a food problem also (i think he's anorexic), so when i go to get a dessert he'll stare me down as if to say 'i don't think you should be eating that'. i'm not making out he's the worst parent ever cos he's not, but he just doesn't fill me with confidence, so as a result i have none.

15 years ago, i helped an aunt and a younger brother set my oldest brother up for a fraud crime. What we did is simply make a police report that he'd stolen money from my mother's life insurance policy. He paid for all the funeral and medical bills, did just what the will said to do. He didn't keep very accurate records, and couldn't prove he'd paid the balance of her estate to me and my brother he paid with cash and didn't ask for a receipt.

He ended up being convicted and although he never had any previous convictions he was sent to prison and served the entire sentence of 7 and a half years.

My co- conspirators and i had asked the prison to prevent outgoing mail & phone calls to the family we provided a list of the entire family along with addresses.
He lost his wife, she divorced him. he lost his business, and was financially ruined.

Many of the family have tried to contact him to reconcile and he refuses to speak to any of us. How can we fix this?

How long is the proper time period to keep running between your families (spouse's side, and your own side) for the holidays, before you make it your own? Do you keep it up until you have kids? Wait until (I hate to say) they pass away? Or what?

My ex-husband and I have been divorced for 11 yrs. and we have two sons together and live 600 miles apart. Two years ago my oldest son made the decision to live with his Dad and because my youngest son did not want to live with him, his father has stopped contacting him. My ex called him a couple of weeks ago for the first time in two years and acted as if everything was just peachy and told him he couldn't wait to see him when we went to pick his brother up for X-mas break. I dropped my youngest son off at his grandparents so he would get to see his dad and visit with him for awhile. He waited for 3 hrs. for his dad to show, his step-mother and half-sister came, but no Dad! She told him she was sorry and couldn't believe his dad wouldn't come. On top of that we found out his step-mom is expecting anyday now with a baby boy. He is so heart-broken and I don't know what to do, can anyone offer some healing words for him?

My x brother in law moved into my home a few months ago, long story but my hubby and I decided to help him out. Last night his son was here visiting his Dad as he always does on the weekends. Last night my x brotherinlaw decided to go out for an hour so I said no big deal but he didnt come back til 3 am. I called him 2 x on his cell asking him to come home and he didnt until way later. I know why he stayed out, he has some sex addiction which I didnt know until he moved in. What should I do? Should I confront him before xmas or do it after? I have a feeling he knows I'll wait til after xmas which makes me even angrier. His son is 14 yrs old but I didnt sign up to be a babysitter when I let him move in.

If I want to invest dollars I go to the bank first, but where do I go if I want to borrow some lives to invest?
Do you think Rice would mind if I invest HER life? Do you think she will have a good Christmas? What about the “lives”, or their families, will they have a good Christmas too? Is that kind of cold hearted, arrogant, insensible, inappropriate way of thinking and way of talking typical American or what?
And I am not saying I am in favour or against the invasion of Iraq, that is not the issue here.

If you've asked both grandparents not to smoke around your baby, yet they continue to do so after promising they would not. Would it be too drastic to tell them they can no longer watch your child without you being there, and future visits will be supervised?

I have a 5 year old little girl who is a chatter box. My husband is always picking on her. He fights with her like she is his little sister. He thinks it's playing and it's hurting her feelings. When I call him on it, he says that I'm going to make her into a punk. When they play video games and he beats her he gloats and makes her feel bad for losing, and now she really feels like a loser when she loses at anything. They play fight and he NEVER lets her win or pretends to be hurt like normal parents, instead he lets her know how strong he is and that he'll never be beaten by her. Sometimes for no reason he'll trip her and think it's funny, or when I scold her he says, " ha ha" and laughs at her for getting in trouble. She forgets what I just repremanded her for bc she's 2 busy concentrating on Dad laughing at her. Help me, this is ruining my marriage. I don't like to see my daughter hurt all the time. I'm starting to hate him bc of this.

So my son has been taught from day 1 there is no Santa and has also been taught never to impose our views on other kids. These kids asked him if he believes in Santa and he replied with a simple "No". Then they said get off our trampoline. My question is would I be wrong to go over there and put a slice in the fabric? Then see if Santa brings their a$$es a new one by tomorrow.

im 20 and my cousin is 17, and since we've been little girls there's always been this competitiveness between us. everything i got, she got. the stakes have been getting higher and higher as we've gotten older. 2 years ago there was talk of me getting a car for christmas. then her parents talk about getting her a car for her birthday (in march). christmas came and went and i didn't get my car. march gets here and she get's her car for her birthday. i get mine 3 months later. just recently i brainstorm about getting a new car, and not even a month goes by and she get's a new car. this really pisses me off because she can ask for something and get it the next day and i can't. i may sound jealous, but im not. im just tired of her biting off my idea's. please tell me what you think.

I posted a while back on my sister being a 43 yr old alcoholic with 4 kids. Christmas is tomorrow and ours is starting off with the usual horrible messy alcohol induced drama! My sisters bf of 8 yrs who is the father of her 3 yr old just left tonight saying he has had enough. It is hard because he is kind of playing both sides of the fence. He sees a glimmer of hope with my sister and then he doesn't want to do what he knows he needs to do and that is to work with us her family on any way possible to get her the professional help she needs. I do not think my sister can stop drinking on her own. My dad is an alcoholic who stopped 4 yrs ago and he is so worried about my sister because he knows HOW bad it can get and my dad is far from a "drama king" if you will.
Last night I was called by my 16 yr old nephew to come over. Things were bad and when I pulled up. My nephew came down and told me his mom slapped him 3 times in the face. He called her a well bad word, however......
