Family - December 2006

Yesterday I watched a movie by Van Damme where his brother's wife told her daughter that he is her uncle...

I am african and according to our tradiction, I am an uncle to my syster's kid (s) and not my brother's... so to my brother's I am still a father to them (kids).

What's your suggestion on it?

Tchao!

Thanks for the answers, true, they should not tell us how to lead our lives or how i should bring my son up, i am a working mom and should keep away from negative people to keep myself positive and sane.

My mom wants me to stop carrying them around the house and get rid of them. But I really like them, plus they keep me warm at night. I plan to keep them, but should I?

My bf and I have been together for 1 1/2 years. When we first got together, my parents loved him. He treats me like a queen, is very respectful, loves my kids, and makes me truly happy. 9 mnths into the relationship he moved 900 miles away from here to be with his kids b/c their mother is a drug addict. He flies in once a month to see me and his family and we talk at least 2x a day. This works for us. We plan to get married next year when I finish college. The problem? My mom has said in the past that if I have anything to do with him she's "done with me". My bf is flying in for a week during christmas and I want to take him to my family's Christmas Eve get together. How do I tell my mom that I'm bringing him with me and my kids and that if she doesn't like it, none of will be there. Both my parents are very good to me and I couldn't have asked for better parents. Its just that I feel, at 29, its time I live my own life and stop letting my mom act like a dictator. What do I do?

No parent is perfect and they make mistakes. My mother has made mistakes in the past. But that is the past I have moved on and I have forgiven her. Yet any time I'm upset about something, family related, she feels like she is a failure? I was upset with my dad about something that had nothing to do with her, yet she felt like a failure. I love my mother so much and even with her mistakes I would never trade her. How can I make her understand that she's not a failure as a parent??

I have a step-daughter that is 17 years old that i have been very close to for 14 years now. About a 2 months ago,she came to me and informed me that she is sexually active with her boyfriend(her first) and asked if I would take her to get on birth control. Of coarse I would be there to help her since she stated that she did not want her mom to know about it.Now her mom found out that I was trying to help my step-daughter and is VERY MAD at me and says she can not trust me now with her kids because I did not come to her behind her daughters back to tell her about this situation. She claims that she is not mad because her daughter is having sex but angry at me because we are sapposed to be friends and I did not tell her. So am I wrong for not telling her mom or am I right to keep my word to my step-daughter and not say anything? Please help me out...Thanks!

I am the odd ball out and my mother only comes around when it suits her schedule, or when she needs something. I'm thinking of telling her to kick rocks. I know I may just be speaking from anger so I want to hear from those who have severed ties to their moms and why. Do you miss her? How long does it take to adjust?

Ok I am 22, 118ibs, tall(5'6) and long but smallish medium frame even though only large clothes can fit me because I am so wide. I am skinny with a pot belly.

My mom said I am obese and shouldn't gain more weight. Uh I thought obese is FAT?? I'm nowhere near fat lol! The reason she said that is cuz I said I'd like to reach up to 125 and stay there.

People tease me that I'm skinny and I'll blow away jokes lol I think they're cute! So what you think is wrong with my mom? lol

am I really obese?

Is it weird to be attracted to my sister? I've jerked myself alot thinking about her, sometimes afterwards i find it kinda awkward and feel like throwing up. Theres like a 2 year age difference between us.

I Live in NY and called my Stepmother in Cali. Only to find out that our family is in turmoil. She stated that one of my nephews (age16 or 17) was accused by another nephew (5 years old) of being innaproprite. This only came after a doctors vist confirmed the 5 year old might be telling the truth. When confronted the older boy denied it and his mother and father refused to press the issue.
This is all the info I was given. It was not enough to know if the police have been called. Should I call just to be on the safe side? Or should I leave it up to them. ( I don't have contact with either step sister ( the mothers of the nephews)). Should I also cancel my plans to visit if i do call? I would like to add that there is EXTENSIVE sexual abuse with in my family ( hince why I live in NY) and my step sisters will never contact the authorities.
