Family - January 2007

she thinks im forcing her daughter to go back to work after having our baby.
My son is 4 months old, things are a little tight where money is concerned, because my partners maternity allowance is due to be stopped, so it has been decided between us that shes going to look for a part time job.
I offered to get a part time job myself, aswell as my full time job, but my partner said its not fair on either of us, because she looks after the baby all day, and if i was to get a part time job as a barman, which is the job i would get, then i wouldnt get to be with my son very much, and also my partner wouldnt get any time to herself.
so anyway..
theres been a history of hostility towards me from the mother-in-law, after i confronted her about taking my son out in her car when she hadnt put his seatbelt on, and i was definatley polite, but she still kicked off.
So she will be reporting me for not supporting my family, although my partner and son has never gone without.
Please advise!!!

When you have already filled out your childs birth cert and you gave your child his father surname(parents are not married) can you still change it with out father consent? or put your name on child as wel lik a double bar name. the child is a year old and the plan eas we would eventually get married but doesnt seem that way now. as i am the mother and he has his father surname does that mean he has all the right if we ever spilt up?

My step-daughter age 25 moved back home a few months ago, my wife/gf travels alot in her work, but this past week has been 5 days has been out of town attending to her mother's final affairs, I have been with her. But had to come home a day early. I had called my step daughter and told her i'd be home around 730pm.

When i arrived home around 745pm, i entered my house, and of course our dogs began to bark etc. I walked upstairs to my master bedroom and found my step-daughter in my jetted tub.

She wasn't running the jet's or i'd have known someone was in the tub. I walked in the bedroom and saw her completely naked and she didn't even seem startled.

My question is this: Do i perhaps have a problem looming with this young lady?

When her mother is home she always closes the door to her bedroom, when her mother is away on business she always leaves it wide open. Some nights when i've gotten ready to go to bed i'll go up to the bedroom and she's laying on the bed watching tv

I get angry at my mother on occassion. I feel that since I have gotten married, she is not very active in my life. I live an hour away, and I work two jobs. She is retired. It would be easier for me if she would make a little bit of an effort and pick up the phone or make arrangements to see me. It has been that way for 3 years now, and I dont see it ending. Am I being unrealistic? Being the daughter, should I just accept her behavior and just chase after her? We do have a lot of issues and I find her hard to get along with, but she is my mother. I just get resentful that I am the one doing all of the work. And if I stop, I wont hear from her for months at a time.

I'm sure by the time she's gone she won't leave me a dime. I am so angy with him that he has made no provisions in his will for his kids from his first marriage. Whenever I talk to him he makes smart comments. I am so angry I can't even sleep at night. I am sorry I ever spent any time at his house. He's always been a miser. I can't believe he did this. I'm not talking to him anymore and either is any of my side of the family. He doesn't seem to get it. He acts like the stepmom will give us a part. What a wimp. She only married him for his money. She immediately got his kids out of the picture and now she's taking his house. I hope that woman falls into a manhole and is never found.

I'm so down, my neighbors who I used to be great friends with are suddenly mad at me and harrassing me (which really hurts!); last month 4 days before Christmas I had to have my favorite cat of 14 years put to sleep because he developed an arrythmia and I miss him so much!, my daughter will be getting divorced in a couple of months and her husband is abusing her- they have twin 8-yr-olds and he is putting them in the middle, my money situation is very bad, and I'm manic right now from all of this- I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a week (right now it's 3:41 a.m. where I am.) If you could please do this for me, I'll be so grateful. Thanks in advance and may God bless you.

I am 21, I live with mother, my 18 yr.old sister and my daughter. Recently me and my mom's boyfriend got into a BIG argument between each other. Im talking about to the point where we were fighting and cursing each other out. This was not only the first time we have been into it. So she decided to put him out. But he continues to call, come over and spend nights here , and God know whatever else when I'm at work.. He is 54, hasnt worked in over a year. When he does get money he spends it on beer and drugs and doesnt give her one cent. Me and her pay all of the bills, take care of groceries, and purchase everything for the house.. He doesnt do or give her anything.I play a big part in paying bills because my job pays more than hers does.. And I dont feel comfortable, doing that when she has a man that stays here. I feel as though Im taking care of him. I want my own place but if I move she wouldnt be able to take care of all of her bills.. What do I do????

I keep hearing so many negative things being said by people who are an only-child in their family. It's making me sad.

I have a 1 year old daughter right now. My husband and I had WANTED to have 1 or 2 more kids, but I had MAJOR complications with my pregnancy and she was born 3 months early and both my daughter and I nearly died. I've been STRONGLY advised by doctors to not attempt another pregnancy. I always wanted to adopt and we've talked about that, but with the expenses of having a preemie and me not being able to work now because of that, we can't AFFORD to adopt a child right now. I have a 14 year old stepdaughter, but she's already so much older than my daughter that my daughter will essentially grow up as an only-child.
I grew up with a younger sister who is 2 years younger than me and we've always been very close. Not to mention that we grew up with TONS of cousins around. So I don't have any idea what it's like to be an only child.

What's your experience with this?

I hate feeling the way I do, but I am really resentful of my bf's 3 children. I am really a good and giving person who loves children, but I feel used an abused by him and his kids. Could all you ladies out there please tell me what you think of this situation. First of all he lives with me in my house. I would be lying if I said he pays his fair share. he doesnt make as much as I do, so doesnt contribute half, but trys to make up for it in other ways. (ok, maybe he does). His 3 children come every single weekend from Friday thru Sunday night and they pretty much take over the whole house, and boy can they eat! Not to mention all the other expenses. Sometimes he doesnt have money to buy food for them because he pays his ex wife child support almost his whole check because he wont get it reduced. Now comes the real kicker. He ignores me when they are there showering so much affection on them its a little extreme. I love my daughter but this guy is obsessed with his daughter

I'm 19 years old and have a 17 year old sister. This year for christmas my parents told me they were having a baby. Now i'm very happy for my parents and happy that i'm going to have a new sibling but at the same time i feel weird about it too. I keep thinking how this baby will change our lives and how everyone else will change as well. Also i come from and indian family where there is always a push for a boy. Now my parents don't beleive this way but my grandparetns who live with us do. They don't treat me and my sister well and i fear that if the baby is a boy that this view of favoring the boy will carry to my parents. Also a 19 year age difference makesme seem as if ppl will see me as a second mother or aunt to this child and not a sister and that becuase of the age difference i won't be able to have a proper sibling relationship with him or her...maybe thats why i feel weird. Does feeling this way make me a bad older sister.

My daughter just turned 17 I wrote this in regards to that




On this day 17 years ago I had the most thrilling event to be had It was the most exciting day I shared with your dad
You were so easily admired by our family and friends as well.
When Daddy first held you I saw his heart swell.
His love was apparent and instantly shared.
New roles and worries were also declared.
Your infancy went by in a flash and toddler years flew.
I’m scared if I turn my head you’ll be out of view
I used to fuss about you wearing shoes when you’d go play.
I couldn’t wait to hear your stories at the end of the day
Those things seem silly when I reflect on the past
The rest of tomorrow I hope is not as fast.
It’s all so different now that I am this age that my parents were seems like Just the other day
Your future is Right now please make certain you don’t piss it away




Thats it thanks for reading it.

She is almost 17 and her exboyfriend is threatening her and verbally abusing both her and her new boyfriend. This is the third time it has been taken to the school and they dont want to do anything about it. My sister is even afraid to go to school now because of him. He is one of the only colored kids in the school so the school doesnt want to take a stand and risk it coming out as a racial issue of some sort which it is not. He treated her like crap and called her names when they were together. Our parents are getting a restrait against him, but his friends are also threatening her. She is so scared of him, and I dont know how to help her.
