Everyone always says their trying to make their parents proud of them but is anyone proud of the things your parents have done?
My mum has decided to take a degree in child care and my dad has been doing up our house for 6 years and is nearly finished, he works really hard but still works on the house and it looks amazing now. Im really proud of them both!
Is there something that you are really proud of that your parents have done?

Hello.I couldn't find a way to solve a problem that has built between my brother and me for quite a long time.
Basically,he's loved to smoke and drink since he was a very little(approximately when he was 16 he started those)
To make matter wrost,he is one of the smallist guy and wickist guy i've ever known. It just hurts me to watch him smoking and drinking until he goes out of countrol.He's 30years old. I'm his
younger brother(22)There's a big age cap,as a result he does't
really care what i say about these issues.
My parents and me are really tired of this and don't know what to
do. Any suggestions will be really appericiated.
Thanks for taking time to read this!

My husband has two children, a son and a daughter. The son wants ot live with us. The daughter wants to stay with her mom. When my husband was going thru his divorce the son wanted to live with him but the mom wouldn't have it and the son gave in and lived with her. Now he REALLY wants to live with us, but we aren't sure how that works. We've heard that he has the right to make that decision but then we've heard that the courts won't seperate the children. I hate to seperate the children but both are so depressed at their moms. And we know the mom is going to try to minipulate our sons decision, which she has already tried.

I was curious about when you should end family nudity? I am 16 years old and my parents raised us in the nudist lifestyle and we often attend nude gatherings and clubs etc. But I am wondering if I should tell my parents we should stop. My cousin sister Courtney is13 who my parents took after my aunt died lives with us and is in the 7th grade and lately when she has been walking around nude, I have been feeling a little different. I dont know if I like it anymore. She is mature and developed now and I am feeling a little weird around her especially when I am nude also. Things are starting to happen. What should I do?

I am a father to a 15 year old boy. His mother and I split about a twelve years ago, and have never lived together. we verbally agreed on sharing his care. 50-50, about 3 years ago.She has since moved twice, and now refuses to let me have any involvement within his life, bar 1 evening per week, for 3.5 hrs, and alternating weekends or alternatively getting back with her, which is something that I am not prepared to do, after serious contemplation. She takes him off to visit members of her family and friends, and everytime I try to schedule any activity with him, she claims that he is too busy. I have been told that I should wait until he is 16, before allowing him to make his own mind up, but by then, knowing her, she would have brainwashed him into thinking that I don't care about him, or want anything to do with him. We have already tried going to court, of which they refused my application, due to the lies that she told forcing my son to side with her or not being allowed to go home

Me and my mom take care of my grandma. For months, my mom and me have not had a decent night sleep. Grandma keeps waking up every 30 min. to use the restroom, drink a sip of water, or because she is not tired anymore and wants to go watch TV. My mother has lost many jobs because of my grandma being in the hospital so often for little minor things, so im the one that has been paying all the bills at home. My mom has brothers but, lets just say they turned the other cheek on us. When we give grandma all this attention, she takes us for granted and behaves worse with us. My mom cries to me everyday telling me that grandma doesn't let her sleep and on top of this all, my grandma does not want to do anything for herself. And no she is not depressed for behaving this way. I hope you can help us out with some good suggestions. Thanks for reading my complaint. And sorry for any typos.

I do not understand the big debate over staying home with children, especially if it is only for four years or five years. This does not mean one is giving up a career, just taking time off. Are most stay at home moms going back to work?.

I'm 15, have strong ethical and moral principles. Since I'm a teen I live with my parents and since I can remeber I've always been told I should never lie, especially to my parents. Of course, like every kid, I lied to them a few times when I was under 12. But as I gor older I learned the importance of honesty, though for several times I didn't agree with them. I had several arguments with my parents, but we don't lie to each other.
But I've learned this is true only when it comes to kids and parents. Because in the adult business world, especially when involving money, lies are acceptable and even encouraged. Sometimes under more beautiful names like strategy, perception, etc. Lawyers lie on behalf of their clients and it's OK, it's their job. CEOs lie for the good of their business and that's OK, it's business. Politicians, well, needless to say anything. Actually, it seems the capacity to lie makes you more competitive. So, should I be a liar in making

my great grandmother, grandparents on my father's side and my father refuse to talk to me because of what i did when i was 17. when i was 17 i ran away from home cuz i was old enough to imancipate myself and legally be adult. i ran away because my father had been beating me for about 10 years atleast once a week. basically it started when my parents divorced. it's been almost 4 years since i've ran away. i've lived on my own, worked, put myself through college and whatnot. now when i talk to my sister who's 15 she tells me that they are all saying i'm a bad influence and that i can't do anything right. that i owe everyone money and need to pay up cuz holding money from family is bad. i haven't had anyone in my family give me money since i was 16 and got a job. and i even sent them all christmas and birthday gifts after i ran away. so am i really a bad influence for showing i'm strong and can stand on my own without relying on others to support me?

My ex-gf and I have a 3 month old son. She doesnt let me see him. She has a really long record. She has done stuff in her past and she is also mental in many cases. She is bi-polar, adhd, still in school, and a criminal record like runaway and assult. I have a clean record, and everyone around her says I should fight for custody of my son and would most likely win. Do I have a chance? Oh, and she does have an aunt that takes care of her and my son. Her aunt was a social worker for 20 years and getting money from the government... about $2,000 a month. She interferred so much that I am not even on the birth certificate. If I take this to court, do I have a chance to win? I am currently getting a job out of state, sending money once a week, making copies of it, and getting an attorney. I am even notorizing letters recommending me custody of my sons from friends to church officials. Do I have a good chance of getting my son back?

My roomate is a total basket case. She wasn't always like this, or maybe she was but didn't let on untill recently. But I can't move out untill the end of March and i don't know how to cope anymore. She's over 30 but acts like she's 13. She has no respect for my family or friends and I think may actually be certifiably insane. I won't go too into detail but here is one story to give you an idea of what she does:
My mother, brother, and a couple of friends are sitting in the kitchen. My roomate comes home. As usual, she's in a really sour mood. She walks up to the kitchen door, looks in with her crazed look in her face, doesn't say a word. Slams the door shut, the door doesn't latch so she slams it again, still doesn't latch so she slams it one more time. I'm walking towards the kitchen as this has just happened. She turns to me and barks: ''Can you get me some food?!!''
WTF???!!!!
My family lives thousands of miles away and it was a really special circumstance.

I hear on yahoo answers and many other forums about single mothers and children born out of wed lock to single mothers and the % of children of single mothers or why are we not doing anything about the number of children born to teenage girls.

Of yes, you can argue that the girls are the ones 'having' the babies but does not one understand that IT TAKES TWO MAKE A BABY!!!

There are MEN (boys) out there that are not raising their chidren. That thre are teen BOYS that are helping get teens girls pregent.

And PLEASE do not give me the 'girls should find ways to not get pregnent" speach. Are the men out there responsible AT ALL??

Should this not be group problem.? Both men and woman and/or teenage girls and boys being taught ways to not get pregent and that they are BOTH responsible for their children. ??

but my question is dose anyone know of any jobs or suggestions... he has been convicted of a felony and i think that is why they do not hire him. he also is trying to finish high school but still at a 9th grade level. we are in northern california
