Family - January 2007

It's not that I hate my grandparents, but they are always critcizing me! When they had kids, back then kids were a lot different. They were helpful and cooperative and angels. They told their parents everything and they were never rude. Kids arent really like that anymore, and they practically hate me for that. Plus, whenever they come, they treat my mom like she is the best person in the world and they dont respect me. Also, they don't understand why I don't like to sit in their lap and have them hug and kiss me anymore. I'm 13!! And they always say that I'm acting badly and rudely. And they ignore modern technology and always talk about feminine hygene and stuff like that with my mom. The worst is when they're in public and they start talking about bras!! It's so embarassing! And they are nice to my little cousins, just not me. They act like I tire them out when little kids are more tiring and I spend most of my time talking to my talking to my friends. Help me please!

I was eating potato chips and one dropped out of my hand and went onto the floor. Well my step mom said she was going to kick me out if I had crushed the potato chip with my new blender I got for Christmas. She said I needed to drive over it with my bicycle and that I needed to seriously re-consider dropping a chip onto the desk and then the floor. Is this fair to me????

This is a really bad situation - it's a long story but I'll shorten it - 6 years ago I had a really bad argument with my family (parents, 2 brothers, 1 sister) and they cut off all contact with me. I was living alone and had no money and was scared, but my work colleagues helped me out and eventually I got promoted and am comfortably off now. I've just got a note through the post from an ex boyfriend (who I want nothing to do with as he is violent) who says my mum has walked out on my dad and gone to live abroad. Also my brother and sister want nothing to do with him for some reason (I don't know where they live) He is now living alone (he is quite elderly) and is about to be evicted as he was always badly in debt. My ex thinks there is some scandal about being a paedophile and the bad debts. If you were in my place would you get in touch and help him, or just accept he cut me off and left me to 'starve' and let him get on with it?

There is a member of my family that isn't a nice person. This person has caused nothing but rifts between members of my family, on both sides, for longer than I can remember. I am not currently in contact with this person and I have been so much happier but I'm constantly made to feel guilty about it and told 'they're famly'. I dont want to have to pretend to like this person to keep them happy when they make me so miserable. So what if they are family, I wouldn't have anything to do with them if we weren't related. What would you do?

I know what i'm about to say may sound stupid and everything but oh well. I live in this house with my sister and a bunch of friends, a while ago these other kids moved in with us. They've been getting on our nerves and between me and my sister and friends, they don't belong here. I know i have been treating them terribly, there's this one 6 year old, he's VERY short, he looks as though he's 2 or 3 instead of 6. We tease him about that. People online has been telling us to stop doing this, i tried, but i can't. I tried to tell the others to stop, but they won't. this 6 year old is always cold, so we steal his blanket. this kid has a backpack with all of the snacks in it, we try to steal that to. The kid is scared of the dark, so we sometimes tease him by stealing his flashlight and nightlight. We call him names. The people who are supposed to look after us are never here so we tell him that they're not here beacuse he's here. We just want them out. Would anyone agree to this?

we currently live with my parents together.
We need things and we are not married. We dont plan on getting engaged until after we move in together.
If I buy a home, would it still be allowable to do a house warming party? Any other ideas?
We do need things like kitchen stuff etc.
Any ideas?

My mother in law is dying and my wife's sisters and brother have made no effort to see nor have they ever helped my wife and I in the past 13 years with her care and I find it so hard to believ that her three children do not care if she dies or not. She never beat them, never made them look bad and did just about everything she could as a mother living on the Jersey Shore could do for her kids. My father in law dies in 1991 and since 92-93, we have been taking care of my mother in law. I know I sound bitter (and I am), but I am a Christian and I am fighting with this. Not with God, but with the ill feelings I have towards my wife's siblings. My son is very ill and he worries about "Nana" allot because he knows she is not going to live. Which makes his condition worst. I am not asking for sympathy, I am just aksing someone (anyone) who knows why anyone would give up on thier mother (the person that brought them into this world) at the age of 87 and on her death bed. Please help me.

My nephew (aged 14) has been staying with us for a couple of weeks. He's sleeping in our spare room where we keep the computer. I've notriced that the light is on very late at night. I checked the history on the PC and found that he's been visiting porn sites (no hard stuff, page 3 girl sites, playboy video clips etc). I don't see any problem with this. I think it's normal and healthy for a 14 year old boy to want to look at naked women. His parents are very strict and don't allow him any leeway at all. My girlfriend thinks I should take away the computer and report whats happened to his parents. What do people think?

I was drinking hot tea while my mom was vacumming the needles from the tree. I am very sick with a cold for two weeks. My dad berates my mom can't she (me) do that? Then my dad says that I don't realize how frail my mom is and that she is old She isn't that old. My dad never has any concern about my mom all he does is to put a front to everyone that he is concerned about my mom but he is not. He always verbally abuse her and feels that he doens't want to help her. My mom didn't say it but she felt that I should have vacummed. I am the one who disassembled the tree and put all the ornaments back in the box. My dad never ever does that. Also my dad has made indirect comments that I never going to buy a house (Yeah, I cannot get a loan duh?) My brother broke the news that he is going to try to buy a townhouse this month. My dad berates yesterday because I cashed out my mutual fund to pay some off my education and bills. Yes dad I am a f-up but a person's character about ast

They haven't spoken for years, it's nothing to do with abuse or anything, they just don't see 'eye to eye' on things.

I have three kids (21 and twins of 15) and they and my partner are all dreamy types who love floating about the house reading, they leave stuff everywhere, cups and plates where they were sitting, clothes where they took them off, books, papers, homework, possessions. They all rush off all the time and leave jobs half done, I wonder if they suffer from ADHD. They do minimal bits of housework usually when I get to shouting at them - they say they mean to help but they only help if I remind them all the time. I suffer from stress and I'm just about to start a new job and I've said if they don't help more, then I am leaving. But I don't suppose they will change and I just get more and more miserable. Any ideas?
