My hubby was married before he has a child from that marriage that he hasn't seen in over 6 yrs. We have a 5yr old together and I was wondering when I should tell her about her half sister. I don't wanna to tell her and ask to meet her knowing that isn't going to happen anytime soon. But I think she should know. Do you think she is too young to understand?

My Indian friend living in America is at wits end. She wants to bring up her children according to the values she has learned and some of the Indian traditions that families follow. But the children have trouble with their peers and are torn in between.
So how can she help her children to balance their life between the parents' values that they instill in them and the peer-pressure of following the culture?

My boyfriends parents are paying for the lunch afterwards and since we don't have alot of money they are asking me to send invitations only to certain family members but not others.The family members that they don't want to invite are sure to find out they weren't invited because the family is extremely close. And it just so happens the the ones that are being left out are the most gossipy!! I feel like I'm being put on the spot since it's my daughter's baptism and I know I'll be the one getting asked why they weren't invited. Is it rude to just ask that everyone pay for their own lunch so that I can invite the whole family? Help I need to send the invitations out today!!

I am watching this show 10 years younger and there is a divorced mother on here. Once she got divorced she moved from Oklahoma to LA and took her daughter with her. Her daughter hated life in LA and being away from friends and family and was going to only get worse and harm herself if kept in LA so her mom sent her back home to Oklahoma I guess to live with the father. The mother is still in LA and has no job so it is not like she has to stay there she could move back to Oklahoma but says she only likes the city life. When asked why the city would stop her from moving back to see her daughter she said it is not like she is still attached with an amibical cord. Why would a mother do such a thing? It seems to me like she doesn't love her daughter.

I need advice. My mother claims I am responsible for my one year old getting sick recently. She thinks I do not dress him properly. I put him in his cold weather coat, gloves and hat and warm pants with an undershirt and shirt over that. I have tried to convice her that it is his exposure to germs at daycare that are making him sick. She thinks otherwise. How do I get her to stop making these hurtful comments?

I have controlling parents, my dad more than my mom,i live in canada born and raised here. I have modern ideals and stuff but i have parents arn't on the same level as me . My mom's lived in canada most her life and my dad about 20. Dad has a problem with me and my sister wanting to go out and having fun. We go out 1 every two or three weeks at the most. My mom dons't really have a problem but almost always takes my dad's side, i guess in order to keep her marriage peacefull. However becuase of this i'm not allowed to do anything. I'm a college student, work part-time, responsible and everything but i have a 12:00am curfew at the latest. The main problem is i do'nt have many friends after highschool, everyone went there seperate ways but i am extremely close with my cousins. They are all allowed to do as they wish and i'm always either nto allowed go out or have to be home early. This has caused major tention between me and both sides. I'm always dealing with pressure...help me please!

My grandmother has been living with us for a year. We have call waiting on our phones but she never hears the beep. I have been out on several occassions trying to call home but I am unable to get through. I am very tired of this because what would happen if I were to be in a situation where I need help? I just recently transfered from a community college to a university and I keep recieiving phone calls from them but when someone calls me she will tell them to call back later and will just tell me a women called for you today. This college has so many numbers how am I to know where to call. Today she gives me a message from yesterday with the wrong telephone number and tells me this morning someone else called. She can not take a message down correctly. Also when someone calls the house and leaves a message she will play the messages on the machine and ends up shutting it off. I have suggested to my parents to have her get her own line but they won't tell her to.

I'm wondering if I should try and find my sister. She stole money from my Dad whilst he was dying, my mother walked out when I was 3 and had no contact with us and I think she blamed my Dad. When Dad died she moved into my Dad's place 9having been thrown out when we found out about the money) where my brother and I were living with her alcoholic boyfriend and caused so many problems, in the end my brother and I wanted to sell up and I haven't seen her since which is nearly 3 years ago, there is more to this but too long to go into now. I don't have much family and I'm wondering what she's up to nowerdays. I am 26 wks pregnant and I'd like to at least know she has a neice on the way but she's not exactly a stable person and has a personality disorder. I could never trust her around my baby but she's still family. I couldn't tell my rother or my uncle (my only family left) if I did try to get in contact, they are still so upset with her. Am I better off leaving it?

Fifteen years in a wonderful marriage and a friend of mine ask when does he stop being the only person giving to his wife's sister and their family. We were talking last night and he has constantly has been giving nice items to his sister-in-law, to her husband and their children. He only communicates through his wife but not once have they given anything back; their hands have extended more since he makes good money and has nice things. What struck the questions was when he gave to some very, very poor friends of his family and they were so appreciative they used some of their money that he gave to buy him a cake to show appreciation. This made him feel good but the next day his sister-in-law asked if one of their children could have one of his computers. Now he feels used since she has never given anything back; not even a thank you card. When is enough enough??? I know we should not give to receive but at the same time, I don't feel he should be sucked dry.

My husband's family is worlds different than mine. My in-laws are from NC (they are country type folks) and I'm from the north. They snatch my daughter up and don't like me to interact with her while they are around. They insist on doing everything for her. Granted, they don't see her that often... maybe once or twice a month, but I'm still her mother. This causes me to absolutely despise them. I dread our visits. My husband says, "That's just the way they are." He doesn't want to stir the pot by confronting his mother about my problems with her. (Did I mention that she ALWAYS second guesses everything I do for my daughter and how I keep my house...) I would love to enjoy their company! I don't like having ill feelings toward anyone. Any advice?
