Family - January 2007

My child has a birthday coming up and his father is in Mexico now. I would call him but I am afraid that his parents will answer and my Spanish is not the best unfortunately. I know some Spanish, I can pick up on some words but I can't speak it fluently. I sent him a letter written in Spanish ( translated via a computer program)a month ago and have not reiceved a letter back. He can speak English but I don't think he can write very well in it. Should I call him or should I write him a letter?

Are you a witness that this is true because it is the case with you and your mom? If so, please share. I didn't know as a child this was me and my mom, but looking back it always has been. How do you deal with this? I used to go against my mom but I've learned it does no good, only causes more trouble.

Do they not realize the pedephiles & rapists this will attract & possibly motivate to commit more acts against children or otherwise?? Sick!!

I am 24, been with my hubby for about 3 years. However, one thing is wrong- he thinks all women should be a perfect mother, like his apparently was. She is a great lady, has had a career thruout having children (shes an accountant). She also cooks all the family meals (she is an amazing from scratch cook), cleans her house to a shine every day, does everybodys laundry, remembers all birthdays, anniversaries, and to send out get well soon cards to people who are sick. She also works 8-10 hours a day, and works out at the gym every other day. Her house is immaculate, her cooking amazing, and she is the nicest lady ever.
The issue is- my boyfriend grew up with this as a role model, and now we fight a lot about how I don't cook every night, clean every day, remember to send cards, etc. We have a 4 yo son, and I am 4 mos preg. Yes, our house is CLEAN, but toys all over. Laundry is done, but not folded right away. How do I get him to see that I'm not as together as his mom?!

This is for parents of adult children.

How often does your adult child call you about how now she or he and the spouse have been working for six months on a job and now think they deserve to own a home, new car, or some other expenive item? Then, 24-hours later, is calling you because their gas got turned off and they need to "BORROW" money..................................................

Sorry, the A.I. Module in the computer started laughing at the idea that my daughter actually said she is going to pay it back.

Borrow money to pay the bill, and send it back tomorrow.

my girl friend is a half asian girl, nice and smart, not dumb at all and does not fall in the category of a submissive person.
anyway shes sort of with this white dude from ..some town.
they mail each other every christmas, silly stuff like bears and books and food. one time his dad found out and he said "you should be careful of what you receive in the mail, they check it" and he had the audcity to tell her this and now shes very hurt.
anyway she lives across the universe from him, theyre both of the same age too (mid 20s).
i needed to ask this so she'll stop asking me, and i really have no idea what advise to give.
does his dad have issues w/ asian girls being w/ his son? lets just say shes from thailand (like a place where you easily get stereotyped). but he doesnt even have a job, and theyve known each other for half a decade.(purely platonic).

Obviously, it's embarassing, especiallywhen I bring girls over. I mean, he'll try to cover himself when he sees someone else in the house, but regardless it's fairly uncomfortable

my oldest son, whom is 5, only knows my ex husband as dad. he is not really his father but he has been there for my son since he was born. my ex and I had a baby (13 months old) but have decided to seperate. of course my ex comes around to visit the baby and my oldest son always calls him daddy.

is it wrong of me to allow him to keep calling him dad? or should i make him stop?

certain family members of mine think that because when i was a baby they helped take care of me and my brothers and yet we owe them our lives when all they do is treat us like their personal slaves.

Dad recently out of jail about being gone for 10 yrs - has maintained phone contact with daughter for last 5 yrs. Dad out of jail almost 2 mos now, and they have spent some time together - I am confortable with him for the most part, do you think it is okay for me to ask for a basic outline of what they plan on doing while together or where going. Also he has a new girlfriend now - do you think it is okay tht I request he does not introduce this women yet and instead take the 24 hrs with his daughter alone since he has been gone 10 yrs. I know we still have feeling for each other and I really don't want her to meet the girlfriend.
Me and her dad have a love/hate relationship - passionate but painful, and one that cannot be , but I don't think he needs to introduce the new girlfriend yet. advice ....

It is only with her that I lose patience with. I've decided to live away from her although this is not acceptable in our culture (a woman should live with her parents until she marries). But I think she's better off without me and vise versa. I just hate her so much. Some may think its childish but it has gone beyond that. I hate her I know I can kill her.

If you say or do anything that upsets my sister in law, she ignores you. She and I don't see eye to eye, but I have always keep my mouth shut. She lives with her parents and her 3 kids, doesn't have a job and doesn't do much around the house. Because of this "lifestyle" she gets on my nerves, but I say nothing. Last year she accused me of ignoring her, I said that I wasn't, didn't know what she was talking about and left the room. Since then, she has ignored me! My husband tried to talk her, but she is blaming me for not talking. I once apologised to her because her parents insisted, even though they knew I didn't do anything wrong, for something that I STILL don't know what I did. So, this time around I am standing my ground, I am not apologising for something I didn't do. But, the family is divided now, we don't go over to my in laws anymore, we don't see her kids, I think it's sad. Any ideas about what can be done?

My son came from the day care and they told me that he hit another child and the teacher had to separate him from the boy. Once home we realized he had bruises on his chest, back and arm, consistent with what he told me.
Day care said they will investigate but the teacher denies that he grabbed him hard.
Somebody told me I should call child services, I just need an honest opinion, should I call them so they can do their own investigation??

After my daughter was born i lived with my mom and dad because i had no money and i wasn't able to work because my pregnancy was a rough one i was high risk and had high blood pressure my parents helped me out and let me stay with them for a few months until i could get on my feet and move back to my place. My daughter is now a year old and i have been with my fiance for almost a year and i am moving in with him.When i told my mom and dad that i was moving they were supportive. But i feel bad for moving because they have helped me out. I repayed them for all the money they handed me and i have even helped out with their bills but i still feel bad for moving even though it's only 30 minutes away why do i feel bad about moving?

She's been kinda sad lately, she doesnt talk, avoids friends, wants to be alone. Sometimes she goes to her room and stays there for several hours. When I ask her what's going on she just says "nothing". She's a wonderful teen, we have a very good relationship, usually opens her heart to me, so I can't understand why she doesn't tell me what's wrong. There was no fight, nothing I can see that could make her so sad. I'm sure this has nothing to do with a boy, she's never had a boyfriend, she's much more into her studies and her family than into guys. Yesterday there was tears in her eyes, I almost shouted at her Hun, please, tel me, what's wrong?? But she said Nothing, and Mom, please, if you love me, leave me alone , I gotta be alone. She said she loved me but wanted to be alone. Why doesn't she trust me any more?
I can't bear with this, I think this night when she goes to bed I'll sit at her side and won't leave until she tells me everything.

CAN ONLY ONE PERSON CHANGE A DIVORCE DECREE? Please help and SEE DETAIL.?
I was divorced from my wife last Friday and the next day she was arrested for dem viol against me. Our house is for sale and I had an offer on it that I know she would accept. She will not contact me back about or anything else including bills and taking now her dogs from our home that I am living in.

The judgment states she can reside here but is choosing not to which is better anyways.

We were getting along fine until the arrest and now I think she is trying to get out of the divorce judgment.

Can she? Not to get married again but I think she now has decided it isn't fair or something. I don't know but it's fishy she doesn't want to close on this house ASAP??? The judge signed off on it but is there a so called 48 hour free look or something were it can be voided???

Please help. I am talking with a lawyer Thursday but was wondering now. It has me stressing!

Thanks!!!!!
