Family - January 2007

my girl asked about trying to get custody of her little half sister yesterday... i'm the bf she lives with if you read her question. anyways, i'm all for it, i mean i've never raised a kid before but i'm sure we can do better than taylor's mother can. she loves that girl with all of her heart. and she's sooooo good with children. every kid she's came across has fallen in love with her. she use to work at an elementary school when she was 15... volunteer work and she still has little pictures all the kids drew her saying they love her and whatnot.

anyways, i'm afraid that if she goes through with this that i might not be a good "dad" or whatever figure for taylor. i know tasha can handle it and i just want to be supportive. she's going to be a magnificant mother someday and a role model to everyone. she's my hero, my world.

am i stressing about my role in this or what?

Okay so my mom pissed me off yesterday by taking my phone just because I SCREAMED AT HER because she wouldn't say PLEASE turn your phone down! So now I just won't talk to her I have nothing to do with my mom anymore! To tell the truth I'm a 100% Grade A Daddy's girl! None of that goes to my mom! She says she shows appreiciation for others and is caring ya right to who her imaginary friends and Kyra(baby sister) I'm just venting sorry I kept this bottled up all night long! So what do you think? Honesty people no lame jokes to be funny! I'm like almost crying so I need your feedback!

when I defend myself against his painful insults. I actually respond in a challenging way, to ask for the basis of his insult. But he just says "I've had enough of your backtalk". I just always thought it was a reference made regarding child-parent relationships, and not adult. What do you think?

My family is the most judgemental bunch I've ever met,and half of the time Im the target. Ive pointed this out several times but it doesnt help at all..so how would you deal with this when confrontation doesnt work? I know I should "just ignore it" which is easy when its strangers but when its your own family its a bit more difficult. Here are some examples of what Im talking about.

- When I was 17 I decided to become a vegetarian. at 19 I changed my mind but only started eating chicken and fish again. Im 24 now and to this day at EVERY family function someone brings up the fact that I dont eat a lot of meat and they call me some freak animal lover. My sister will offer me something with beef and I'll simply say no thanks and she gets all pissy and says oh i forgot, you're weird.
-Im into piercings and tattoos and theyre not, so they always make fun of my body modifcation choices and tell me how ugly they are all the time.

My mother and father are supporting my brother, his wife, her mother, and their two kids... this is putting my parents in a stressful financial situation. They are depressed and my mother was in the hospital for a suspected heart attack after arguing with my brother about bills. they are asking me for money and i dont want to pay for him i have my own bills. he is older than me too. I dont know how to tell them they are adding to the problem rather than fixing it by giving him money. Any advice on how to address the situation...

He says the girl needs to be in a setting where she won't get into trouble. The son hates school, gets bad grades and wants to be a mechanic. He says that the kids are his and even though I don't like it, he has to do what he feels is best for his kids.

About 2 months ago my husband of 3 years lost his mother in a car accident.At the time I was overseas in the UK working on a business deal.He asked me to fly back but when I tried explaining to him that I had to stay for another 2 weeks to close this huge deal he hung up on me.I've been back for 6 weeks now and things have been very strained between us.I hate this and if I can't make him understand I'll have no choice but to leave him.How do I get through to him?

Inspiration or just a Funny Phrase

My kid thinks that the big bad wolf hides under his bed and is convinced he sees its ears at night time. (I am getting freaked too and slowly starting to believe him haha).

So I told him it only eats little girls and pigs (from books "Red riding hood" & "The 3 little pigs").

He ended up asking about his wee friends who are girls... my husband said "big girls". I started to think of the ASBO teenage girls around here so agreed.

Only to have my son ask about his friends big sisters who are nice girls.

Gee...I was losing the battle.

Can you help?

And i don't like that. Whenever she does something, or can't do something, she sends me a check. The last time she did it i almost decided to just rip the check up, but instead i bought a little girl some clothes with it. I wish she would be normal. How could i tell her how i feel without upsetting her (she's easily upset. Gets angry quickly)? I love her, and i want her to understand that sometimes i just want to spend time with her, not just go shopping.

Please, serious answers only. Don't give me any crap. Thank You

My husband is a volenter(SP?) fire fighter in a small town. He is in two dertments. He hardly home. His work, his dad's ranch, and the two fire dertments to keep him busy. We barely see each other on the weekdays. He works at a mill and the swing shift, Like 3 PM to 1 AM. His family is in one of the departments, and he will never leave. He keeps saying that he will quit the other fire department and he never does. I kept asking when he is going to do it but that only annoyed him.So, quit asking him if he was going to quit. A couple weeks ago, he had a game to go to and he was sick. I said I think you should stay home and just rest. He said that he was still going. I felt that the fire department is more importane then me. Last year, I wanted to do something for my b-day but he just schaled a meeting that weekend. I was really hurt and sad. What do I do. I just want more of his time. When ever I ask more of his time, he gets pissed at me and says "Don't start." then walks off. HELP!!!!!

I am 32 years old and recently moved back with my parents, OUCH! The kicker is that I am romantically involved with someone from my dad's work. Does anyone have any ideas of ways that we can be alone without my dad finding out. His place is NOT an option and my parents are home ALL of the time. If he as much as calls or pulls up to our house they will know something is up. I know that I am old enough to do what I want. But, trust me, them finding out now is not a good idea.

- not stopping when my or my kids say 'no, I am not having fun anymore' and he does't stop
- picking on me on a regular basis and making fun of me as a joke
- argues about my decisions and puts me in the position of defending myself and my decisions
- blaming the me for any personal conflicts between the two of us, often by calling me stubborn, senstive, etc.


What's up with this.. is this control? Bullying? What is your take on this?

He is not your usual mean person. He is together, sucessful, funny, handsome... I don't get it. When I stand up for myself he gets mad at me or thinks I am too sensitive.

Im having problems with my family. Ever since my father passed away, my mum has changed alot. She is always very bitter and angry. I've tried so many times to talk to her and she just yells at me or doesnt want to talk. I understand she is upset, because i also miss him too. I dont know how to deal with this anymore, i've tried over and over to try and sort things out but she just pushes me away. I really dont know who to talk to about this but i need some advice, i can't deal with stress anymore. Please help : (
