Family - December 2006

Well, not exactly "right" but I guess I just wanted an opinin on this... So I'm only a freshman in high school, almost 15, but my parents (mostly just my mom) talk to me a lot about thinking about college and taking the right classes now to go to a good school and is putting some pressure on me to go to a really good school. I do want to go to Columbia actually but it's reeeally expensive, like $32,000 per year. And my parents never started saving for college!!! Isn't it a parents job to prepare their children for life as an adult, when they're no longer living with their parents? Whenever I bring that up, the subject of starting a college fund, they get all mad and tell me to stop telling them how to be parents. I don't get it!!! They tell me to thing about college, and when I do and I try to get them to start a fund (though it's too late now to really save any money) they get mad! What do you think? What should I do??

My mother has never really been close to us kids. You'd think that being a single mother would make us a really close family, but it hasn't. I've allways felt let down throughout my life by my mum.
It's my twenty first birthday next month and i'm having a big family and friends dinner to celebrate, and my mother told me she isn't coming because she was booked to do a band job that weekend.
This was just the final straw for my mother. Now i'm so upset with her i don't even want to see her for christmas.
This morning i was told that she might be able to come for a few hours, now i'm torn. Do i forgive her and welcome her to my birthday or do i hold my ground and let her know how hurt i am?
The hardest thing is she doesn't even know that i'm upset or that i feel like she constantly lets me down. What do i do?

I lied and told my Mom, Aunt, and sister that we had planned on going out of State for Christmas and that I won't be around to celebrate with them this year...that we could do Christmas another time. My family never agrees on anything and Christmas always seeme "fake"....like no one wants to see each other anyway. Today, I called my sister and told her that the trip got canceled and if my Mom stays overnight with her (she resides at a group home for the mentally ill) that we're free to either have her over for a few hours Saturday night or we could come over there. My sister didn't like this idea....not at all. That I should have my Mom over too since she wants to see my 17 month old daughter. So...I agreed and planned a small lunch on Sunday and also agreed to take her back to the group home which is 1 1/2 hour drive each way. Then, later in the evening, my sister calls and says that my Aunt called her stating that she will come Monday to my place and pick my Mom up, but there's

Serrious answers only, please... This is important...

Okay, My mother and i used to be best friends, before i moved out of the house... This last few years though have been pretty rough.... When i can't afford to run the hour and a half down to her place to fix something, or clean the house, or take care of the kids, I'm selfish, I found the man that i knew i was going to spend the rest of my life with, decided to get married, and because i wouldn't put off the date, because she didn't have a boyfriend (Her and my father got a divorce about a year and a half before this) I was selfish, Even though we had waited already 5 years...
Now because i don't have all the money in the world to buy her a car, pay some of her bills, and help her and the kids, i'm not worth talking to unless i have something for her...
We used to be so close... Now i just think it was because she layed in bed all day while i mothered my 5 younger brothers and sisters, cleaned the house, and cooked the meals...

I will be putting these on a cute christmas plate with red cling wrap tied with xmas ribbon. My question is, What else can I put on the plate? I will have chocolate candy that is mixed with crushed candy cane-which they love, chocolate dipped double cream oreo cookies with some candy cane on that. I thought of making rice crispy treats, but what else can I put in there?

In an arguement with the father of my son, he pushed me. We had been together for 4 years, and I decided that push leads to shove and then to hitting and I am not up for the ride so I left. But, his family does not seem to understand (even though, they were once abused by their spouses) so they are pretty much meddling and trying to involve my three year old as a bases for a reconcilation. I just want to be left alone, even though I voiced that it just get through to him nor them. Any advice???

I have some health issues and a family health history would be most helpful. I know 'birth name' but not much more. Any suggestions as to where to begin would be great.

I get along with my dads girlfriend in most cases, but she eats his money. My dad works 80+ hours a week, and he gets paid for 40 hours. I feel terrible for him. I told him to find a new job. She has a job, she has her own daycare, but she's off work on doctors orders. I'm worried he might dig his hole deeper, what should I do?

I'm seventeen years old and very conflicted about what to do for Christmas. My dad died when I was eleven and just this year I moved out of my mom's house because I could not longer endure her abuse. With Christmas fast approaching I have no idea what to do. I want to spend time with both sides of my family, but I don't think this is going to be possible. I can either leave on Saturday and travel to dad's side of the family or stay in the area and celebrate with my mom's family. My mom has been very unhelpful in the matter and told her family members essentially that I don't want to be with them. Although, she invited me to the family function I get the impression she doesn't even want me there. I have suggested plans to my mother to work with both families but she is unwilling to do so, and plans on preventing my little bro from seeing my dad's side of the family. I feel bad about choosing sides, but what can I do? Does anybody had any advice for someone who is a hard place?
