Family - December 2006

Ok, I have enough problems of my own, family, guys, friends. You all know the teen drama.
Added to this, my sisters try to use me against my mom who drinks to much. Sandra, the oldest, doesn't even have a mother-daughter relationship with her and it seems like Jenna only likes her for the money. Sandra's 31 and Jenna's 26.
My cousins grandmother passed away yesterday. That cousin plus three others where all crying and I felt like I couldn't cry because I was the oldest and needed to comfort them.
My friend thinks she may be pregnant and asks me everything and I have no clue what ovulating even is!
Most people get one story for our school newspaper but I got 3 and now the director is mad that I'm not there today because I'm home sick so I missed a deadline.
My spanish teacher got mad that I walked out of class yesterday when I found out that my cousins grandma had passed away and wrote me up for truancy so I may have in school suspension when I get back.
What do I do?

I also have 2 older sister, ages 26 and 31. This bothers them so much that at Thanksgiving they stopped talking to my mom. I realize that my mom drinks too much and it doesn't bother me to stay home alone but it's my sisters that have the big problem with this and they don't even live here. Then they want me to tell them everything wrong that my mom does. I refuse to. The 31 year old even wants me to get a job at Sea World this summer and move in with her. I think it's great that she cares but I really don't want to leave my hometown. I love it here in the summer and I love being with my friends. I already have a job and I'm planning to work there this summer. Also, both of my sisters dump all of their problems on me. What can I do to get them to realize that they shouldn't be 'putting all their weight on me' and using me against our mom? What SHOULD I do? Please help me.

I have a friend who's not sure if she should punish her 13-year-old daughter. She' s agood girl, her parents have never had any serious problem with her. But yesterday she didn't resist peer pressure and drank some wine with other girls at a friend's home. Her mom got to know because the girl decided to tell her. She said that after drinking the wine she felt hot and sweated a lot. She ageed it was wrong and said she did it out of curiosity

In my opinion, the best thing to do is talk with the girl and explain why she shouldn't drink at 13. I don't think she should be punished.

Twenty years ago my uncle acted very inappropriately with me on three seperate occassions (passes, cuddling for too long, fondling). As a kid I went to the other adults in the family about this and was confronted with major anger towards me and denial.
Now I have a family of my own, and I get a phone call from my mother about how my uncle and his family are here and want to see my gorgeous house and beautiful children.
My husband doesn't want to even meet the guy, let alone shadow him, making sure he's not alone in the same room with the kids, which is what we would have to do.
What should we do? Currently we're conveniently planning a trip so we don't even have to deal with this, but that seems llike running away every time they say "Boo". The guy is seventy years old now. I don't want to talk with the rest of the family again. Remember, major denial. How would you guys handle this?

Have you lost a LOved one and need something healing?Please read below this may help?
Please read below this may help?
I don't know if this will help but when my grandma died 12 years ago on Dec 5th we started a ceremony that we have continued yearly At midnight on Christmas eve we all gather to light a candle for each of our loved ones that has passed before us.Thye used to have luminary kits but can't find those anymore so we just use those gift bags that you fold over we put cat litter in or if you are lucky enough to have sand you can use sand use long burning candles(the ones called emergency candles the white ones) work reallly well we light a candle for each person and say something about them anyone can say what they want to the person and light the candle. we then leave them outside to burn all night I always check the next morn to see wh's is stil, burning(I use different scenes on bags for each person) It always makes us cry but it is healing at the same time and allows us a moment of silence for those we miss and love. last year was the hardest one ever

my mother in law has not been a good one. I have been married 7 yrs and I can honestly say tat she has not welcomed me once. She doesn't call, visit, or even spend time w/ our kids.

She does however spend time with my hubby's brothers kids all the time.They spend the night, get money, gifts, calls, and visits, Now my kids ask why does granny treat us mean? Im tied of coming up w/ amswers I think its time to confront her but my ubby won't let me. I understand its his mom but he also has to understand our kids suffer too. what do you think?

My brother whom is 17 years old, I've had legal guardianship since he was 10. He has been out of control for the past four years, he got kicked out of two high schools and GED classes for basically not doing any work, walking around, going to other classrooms to chat with friends. He's becoming a father, doesn't work and is disrespectful. Recently I sent him back to his mother for awhile and last night I found out he was picked up in the state next to ours for some unknown narcotic reason while riding along with his step-uncle and friend. My mother expects me to go pick him up tomorrow from court. The court said if one of us (her or I) doesn't show up tomorrow then they will keep him in there until he's 18, which is a month away.
Before anyone ask, my mother is a drug head and alcoholic and my father has a mental disease so that is why I took him when he was younger. No, my parents aren't together and I do not have a good relationship with my mother.

I'm 18 and work as a receptionist and earn less than the minimum wage and I live with my grandparents and yesterday they asked me to pay more than half my salary as rest, I earn about 46 and my sister who also lives with me earns 120 and she is paying 50 and I technically don't think it's fair for me, coz I buy my needs no one else does and how can I support myself with only 20 in my hands when the prices of things are unbelievably high, I tried to tell my grandparents that I couldn't afford to pay so much and they said they don't care coz I would be suffering more if I lived on my own and that they are only teaching me. Think about it my sister is left with like 80 in her hands and I am only left with 20, I don't see how this is fair, my sister told me grandparents how much i'm earning but I know she earns 120 and not 100. I'm suffering and I have no idea what to do...

We have a situation where our extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) don't communicate often, with each other. It's a dysfunction in the family since our grandparents passed away (their kids were affected and therefore, when they had kids of their own, it was passed down). I'm a part of the younger generation, and I remember when I was little, my grandparents always had Christmas and Easter dinners, together, with everyone. Now that they're both gone, NO one has taken that initiative to bring the family together, again, for our annual dinners. I've tried to contact family and ask them about getting together, and they seem to have an excuse for not participating. I have kids of my own, and I want them to get to know the rest of the family, but it's difficult when no one really makes an effort in getting to know us!!
Someone in our family always has a grudge on someone else in the family! It's sad...what can I do?

A cruel father and step-mother makes a life-altering decision to seperate two sisters for over 10 yrs, based on the step-mother's theory that the older sister is a bad influence on the younger sister, whom they have custody of. The older sister remained at a relatives, to live out the remainder of her childhood, until she reached the age of 18. She moves on with her life, and continued to try to contact her little sister, to no avail. Then when the sisters are joined, again, after almost 12 years, the time apart devastated their relationship. They are distant and don't know much about each other. The older sister has a family of her own, and the younger sister is struggling with an alcohol problem. Her boyfriend is verbally abusive towards her and tries to keep her from contacting the older sister. Meanwhile, the older sister doesn't feel the bond between them, and struggles, herself, to find common ground between them both. What do they need to do? Neither communicate with the dad.

i'm undecided whether i should have children or not. truthfully it's more on the negative, but i'm going to get engaged next year and i am thinking about my boyfriend (we both love children, but i had a sucky childhood and i don't want to go through childbirth pains because i feel it's so unrewarding) so i was thinking... what makes us ladies decide whether we should have children or not...
