Family - December 2006

I am 31 and pregnant with my second child (not married). My family is die hard Christians, who are course right, because God is with them. So this x-mas while they sit there all hurt because I am so disrespectful (they don't take boundry setting very well) and they tell me what is best for my daughter and how I will regret my life when i see the light. When they wonder how I could be such a hurtful person to them... What should my stragedy be? My plan of action???

There is a strong chance they won't say anything, and will just try to 'love me to God'. But I am pregnant and proud of my belly with my child in it. I am proud of my already born daughter that they accept because it is too late.

They may not say anything, but I will feel it. I always do feel the vibes. But if they do lay a guilt trip or try to manipulate my feelings, what should my game plan be?

I've aready begun feeling bad about leaving for college in San Francisco. Does this mean I should stay home? I mostly want to stay home because I don't want to lose touch with my siblings (they are thirteen and eleven). My brother is a bad influence on them and I don't really want them around that without me. Please help.

I didn't graduate from college with any fancy technology oriented major, just a simple BA in something i dont even use. I don't have job cause i'm having a lot of trouble finding one, and i'm not a communicative person, i'm a shy person. I just sense it in my father that he thinks im a failure even though he doesn't say it . My father is an immigrant from mexico and he was the success story in his family, he worked since young ..accomplished the most in his family coming to the usa and buying ahouse, making money, taking care of his parents financially and even helping all the other family members..and so on. But then he sees me, and i'm a nobody. right now i don't have a job but i'm going to probably end up with a simple office job but he expected alot more. wow that feels bad. But i can't do nothing, i'm not the kind he wants me to be. perhaps i dont' have the success he had cause i'm shy. should i feel bad, or let it just be?

Knowing that my ex can get into crazy situations, listen to this teory that I have put together about what was beengoing on with him. Remember that I don't want him back!
As of last thanksgiving we were on good terms and he was wanting us(my son and I) to visit him for the holidays. I knew that he had slept with a woman and I could not say too much about it since we were not officially together but trying to work on it. He told me that she told him she loved him and he told her that he did not feelthe same. She got upset and he also likes to talk about his son and I to people and she was one and she didn't like me cuz she jealous. After Thanksgiving he was arrested for a violation that is in the system but it does look like a mistake cuz he was locked up at the time anyway.Well she bonds him out and after that he calls and tells me that they are in a relationship and she is pregnant and they are living in a motel. I was shocked cuz it came out of nowhere.

I don't really trust my dad at all. I don't relate to my mom at all and she's too critical of me.. I'm 15 female.. I guess all teenagers clash with their parents..

but really.. I don't trust my dad at all.. I have some resentment still.. when I was little he used to have such a bad temper! Cursing, yelling, hitting things (not people at least) I used to get really scared of him, and he had such a short fuse I was pretty damn scared...

.. I'm I just being a big baby..? should I get over what little of past there was.. lately I've noticed myself .. like trying to get other.. well not quite father figures but close enough.. like with teachers and stuff.. I know I should have a good relationship with my dad.. but guys with tempers I just cant stand.. but I know everyone has a temper

.. how do I just accept people have tempers... and get pissed off.. I dont know how

actually, not that bad but she is annoying the crap out of me. she's been home for five days from college and already i have the urge to run away. everything she says or does involves me being bombarded with "blah blah dead actor from the fifties this blah blah blah obscure eighties band that blah blah blah do you remember this video from this song blah blah..." or i'm having to chaueffer her around or listen to her torture a song that i've never heard of. it's okay up to a point, but after hour 5 i'm ready to bolt. I'm not very into entertainment past or present, so it's hard to find a common interest. i did express interest in an actor, but she ran it into the ground with her fangirldom. I've told her that it annoys me. Usually I get called a b****h or have my interests called dumb. i love her to death and i want to find a solution, but barring that, how much does a camper for a pickup truck run? I need a place to hide!

I have a curfew of 10PM and I am 18 years old. At first I just disregarded the rule because I thought it was ridiculous considering I'm an adult, but then my parents took the car away (which is legally theirs). I completely understand that because they are allowing me to live in their house and use their car, I should obey the rules. I don't have the money to move out, so how should I explain to my parents that 10PM is....well, f*cked up.

If you sister or brother in law (your husbands siblings) would get married, would you be related to that person at all? would they still be considered to be a sister or brother in-law even though it isn't a sibling of yours that is getting married?

He has made it clear to me he has no intentions of making a committment in our relationship. He has told this his daughter very private things about my life. He told her I am divorced because I was in an abusive relationship and was beaten by my ex husband. My adult children do not even know about these things. I wish he had kepts his friggin mouth shut. I am so offended. I told him his adult daughter needed to get a job so she could quit mooching off of everyone else (including him). I feel like they are using my very painful history as a way to gossip and have something to talk about. His daughter spread some pretty vicious rumors about me and I truthfully cannot stand her. She is an immature brat. How should I let this all go?

For the past few years Christmas gift-giving with my hubby's side of the family has seemed really difficult. I'm looking for new ideas! There's his Mom/Dad, his Sister/Her Hubby/2 Boys and our family of Me/Hubby/2 Kids. Everyones on a tight budget. We're not very close so we never know what to buy eachother. And drawing names from a hat seems silly cause we're such a small family. Any suggestions?

I just found out my sister-in-law, (husband's brother's wife) who is "making" Christmas Eve dinner, (and who I've seen "helping" at my inlaws' without washing her paws) is serving the leftover ham and turky from HER families' dinner. My mother in law left a message that we're supposed to bring a lettuce salad only. Now I'm sorry. If I want to be served Christmas leftovers, I'll show up on the 26th, not the 24th! I want to bring fresh food. Am I the one who's unreasonable?

She was in these see-thru little panties and bra set, and he was in boxers. The both looked as tho they meant for what they were wearing to be seen by the other.
His hand was very inappropiately placed.
Should I wake him and tell him to wake her or just yell and wake them both??
Will she be all embarassed cuz she is paractically naked?? Will he be mad or worried about how my husband and I will react??
Should I quietly wake my son and tell him to wake his g/f or just wake them both at once by freaking them out?? they are both 16.
Should I wake him and tell him to wake her or wake her and freak her out?? My hubby wants to put on some pjs, wake her and let her sleep in our bed and then he wants to climb in my sons bed and wait for him to go and feel up his g/f, realize it's not her, and wake up. Should he??

She is only a child and we have reason to believe that the step father is a suspected pedophile. Mother is not a stable person either. Her father and I are worried that she may be sexually active and possibly not by choice. How can we find out for sure. She does not live with us but her mother so would like some help as to what to do and where can we go for help. This is from Australia so need pertinent answers for this country and it's rules and regulations concerning this. Not to say we would not like anyones opinion from wherever. Here's hoping someone may be able to help us. Thanks!
