Family - December 2006

their daughter and daughter -in-law. The Moms complain that the food is not cooked just right, that the silver is not correct, that the coffee is not good, that you dont have the kind of cream they want, that your decor is not right and my Mom critizes the way Im dressed my hair and my weight,

What is the real problem here. I hate to get together with either one of them. I feel like a nervous wreck.
is this their way of putting you down as they are jealous that it is your home and you are the one in charge now? Is it that they dislike you. Is it a way to get attention? It makes me not want to include them in any more holidays.

My sister received a jar of pickle bums from her father in law. My mother in law gave me ear rings that had a rusted stem on them (and could not be worn) mY mother in law also bought us a comforter that looks like the inside of a sleeping bag. And she got angry when I told her I didn't much like it. How about you what are your worst experiences?

My brother went to jail last year for breaking and entering, while he was high off weed. He's still on probation, and his girlfriend just told me he his selling and smoking weed.

He's 19, i feel for him, I really do. He recieved the majority of the physical abuse from my dad, who recieved a traumatic brain injury at work 8 years ago.

We spent 20K on lawyer fees and phone calls to jail. Because my dad is fully disabled and my mom is the only one who works, I graciously offered the 12k I made working two jobs to help pay for his fees. It was my college savings. I gave it to my parents because he promised to live a better life, and that he would pay me back. One year later, he's smoking weed, selling drugs, and lazing around being an unproductive member of society.

He's my brother, but he has screwed me, and my family, over. So, how do I tell my parents this scumbag has broken his promises and returned to his old ways?

She always tells us to come over but when we do we just sit on the couch and she never makes dinner and there is nothing to eat. Then I talk to her and she acts like I am bothering her. We also have to drive an hour over. Would you stop going over or say something?

For the past three years, my family (Dad, and two of my brothers) has come to my house for Christmas Day. The other brother lives 2 hours from me and has never come here on Christmas because they are always doing something else. This year, they do not make it to the pre Christmas family thing, and tell my Dad they are coming to his house for Christmas. My Dad has told me two days earlier that everyone would be at my house as usual. I bought $100 food for the family and this AM I am informed they all will be going to my Dads because the other brother will be going there. I am hurt...then later on into the morning I am called back and told that no they have changed their minds and now they are staying home with her folks. So one of the two bros call to inform me that they will be coming to my house so it is all back on again....... How do you like that?

This is happening as we speak.

My mom and sister are arguing about something that really doesn't concern me. I don't want to jump into the argument and try to defend either side, because I know I am going to end up in tears like my sister.

Usually at the end of an argument, both my mom and sister are in tears. My sister can get really crabby if I try to comfort her, she is really independent, so I always just go hug my mom, but I don't know what to do now, because I agree with my sister, but I don't really know what to do at the moment, I hate the sound of them arguing.

This is also kind of frustrating, because the letter I have been waiting for has finally come. I have been waiting for a month, and I have finally been accepted into this fine arts program, but now, no one seems interested in it.

This is pretty wierd and im probably just taking this farther than i should but i have a college buddy. He is a rich popular frat boy. He has a smoking hott 16 year old sister. The thing that makes me question his sanity is the way he talks about and acts towards his sister. First of all he talks hours on end with his sister on the phone like a guy regularly would with his GF. 2nd, no homo, but he is one good looking guy and so far he only sleeps with hott *** sorority chics but neva flirts or has been in a relationship with one. When he goes back home, he constantly hanging with his sis, going out to dinners and, he even buys her diamond jewlry and tons of gifts. When they kiss, its always on the lips and it always seems to long and deep. When he walks with her, they always hold hands, and they talk and act like there in love. the kicker came with the fact that during summer, he took his sister with him to brazil, who does that? Is it just me, and should i say something, or let it be?

After 47 yrs of marriage, a marriage, where my mum was very selfish, had affairs, and treated us kids badly, she has now left my dad, run off to spain, with another man. I am doing EVERYTHING i can to help him. He has been left alone, aged 69 yrs, has to sell his home, the lot, cause she is claiming her half of all finances. It is so difficult for all of us, but for the first time tonight, he said, he has nothing to live for now, feels like ending it all. I know he loves me, and his grandkids, but he is not coping at all, with what my mother (if you can call her that) has done. I live away from him, 60 miles, have my own family, i am getting so stressed with worry about him. Should i just keep in touch, all the time, or what? I begged him to see a doctor, but he won`t.

My mother and I don't get a long that great or should i say at all. We try and try but it seems as though after a week of trying we just stop contacting each other and what not. Well my dilema is, is that Christmas is now 2 days away and I have not yet spoke to my mom. Its not that i don't want to its just that i don't know what to say and i don't want to yell at me for not calling (because thats what she normally does when i don't call) Oh btw I'm 21 living 1hr and half away from her with my boyfriend so having the no communication isn't that hard to achieve. But i don't want to miss being with my mom over the holidays but i can't just barge in and if i called her she is going to ask why i haven't called before and then we will just get into another argument. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what i can do to make this weekend a happy joyful one with my mom involved without me having the feel like a piece of sh*t.... please help i don't want to lose my mom.

Ok. My man's family is hasseling us to make 3 hour drive to visit for Xmas. We would leave the 24th, return the 25th, because of work obligations. The catch is, his sister is BEYOND awful. Insults me any chance she can. She also gives him **** because he hasn't appeared enough for visits to fall all over her new baby. I don't want to do it, but would for him (grudgingly). He sent me here for answers to help make a choice, so please help. Thanks!

I have been married for 6 years and we have always had Christmas with my family in the morning and eat dinner then in the after noon we go and have Christmas with his family and by the time we are all done with everything we are soooo tired and it is so late.
So I suggested to my husband that we could have Christmas with his family on Christmas eve and my family on Christmas day.
The reason for that is because my family lives very close to us and his family live out of town and that way we dont have to be rushed to go to their house. My husband was very upset with me after I said that. I dont understand why he would be mad at me for trying to make thing less stressfull for us. So my question is.... Was it wrong for me to suggest that to him? Did I really do something wrong? What would you do in this situation?
