Family - February 2007

My Stepmother and I do not get along very well and due to this my Father and I stopped talking for almost a year. I recently decided that I wanted to try to rebuild our relationship because I Love my father very much. I have recently started calling him, talking and whent to go see him. I have been living with my boyfriend now for 5 months and we just found out that we are having a baby! We are very happy since it was in the plans for one day. I am in my late twenties and my boyfriend his early thirties, so we are really excited to having the baby and I so want to tell my dad asap, but I'm not sure how to go about it! I just found, in my sixth week and was wondering since I'm not showing yet if I should wait and try to get them to meet each other, tell him anyhow or either way wait until I'm into my second trimester - I hear that is a common pratice anyhow? Any suggestions? How did other people tell there parents? It'll be his first grandchild so I'm sure he'll be excited!

My daughter is very motivated professionally she is a pharmacist at age 25 in a large metropolitan city, Yet in her personal life she will travel out of town to hangs around with her former highschool buddies who are nothing but total losers, unemployed, uneducated, druggies, alcoholics who live in a small rural community 125 miles distant.
She wastes her money on buying their booze for the weekend parties they have. Now i learned last night that she's hooked up with a drug addict younger brother of her former boyfriend also a meth addict.
I have done everything i know to encourage her to find a better class of people to be with and to put these losers behind her but nothing works. Its as if she does this just to make me mad as H ell.

Other than beating some sense into her what else can i do to convince her to drop these people out of her life?

Should I tell them that their "father" is not their biological father, as he was found to have a low sperm count and they used Donor Sperm to have twin boys and an older girl? My sister will not tell them the truth, they are 14 and 17 years of age now, and they need to know the truth.

Mom & dad live on social security. Dad's share is about 2/3 of their income. Will the nursing home take all of dad's social security share? Mom wouldn't be left with enough money to live on. Do they take the house from the "remaining" spouse?

We planned this baby and were due to marry, but after telling EVERYONE I was pregnant demanded I have an abortion. Anyway I have moved house, I get on great with his Dad and so on. He has moved and refused to tell me where he lives and refused to pay child support when the baby come. I will not be having his name on the birth certificate, so he will have to prove he is the dad and pay child support and take responsibilty THEN he is welcome to meet his baby. I am not on benefits I work full time and have just paid over £2500 in nursery stuff and prams, why should he get off scot free and leave me and my family to foot the bill, for food, clothing and education?

Ok here is the thing, I am a freshman at college, i have always wanted to go to the air force, but my parents are dead against it. Everytime i would tell them about it, they would turn me down, thinking it was all big joke and just stage im going through. Recently i have contaced an Air Force Recruiter, and really going to go forward with it. I want to become an Air Force Physician, but my parents dont want that and wants me to become a civilian physician.

so few days ago I told my parents, and now I hear my mom is really SICK, and its all my fault, because of the news. I am very confused and don't know what to do. Either follow my dreams or listen to my parents. And if I listen to my parents, I am 100% sure i won't ever keep any ties with them, I just wouldn't be able to forgive them.

So my question is, when will we learn to let children do what they think is the best for them, and stop trying to make decisions for them?

I feel this way all the time. I live with my mom, brother and sister, and they always seem to be on the same page. My thoughts, opinions and way of life always differ from theres. I can never go out with them because I'm always getting critized for being different. My mom says its part of being an Aquarius, but I dont know. Does anyone else feel like the black sheep of the family, maybe from a different perspective of mine?

Ive never known what 2 fight 4 in life. I always wanted my dad more involved in my life, I used 2 take every chance I got 2 spend time with him. After years of fighting 2 be with him, he still was never there. No matter if I cam down to his place he was always working, or spending the day in his truck with him on his phone, & being only a client. Spending time with him consisted on me sitting in his truck for an hr or 2 while he worked, or being dropped off at a store only to be there 4 half an hr, but spending 2 or more hrs, once going to a restaurant he left to be in a confrince call leaving me alone to eat dinner on our what was supposed to be father & daughter day. He has always had excuses, & boughten our love, for he never took the time to spend time with us, & have the get the real love for a father for being one & spending the rare time he had with me, & getting 2 know me better rather then putting me aside & doing work not needed.

If your ex-spouse lived 60 miles away, would you expect him/her to travel in blizzard-like conditions for visitation? Keep in mind, that the trip also requires for your child to be taken, in extremly bad weather, 60 miles back down to parents home. Errrrrr, I am mad because my son was expected to do so. I told my son that I would rather he did not make the drive and the grandson's mother got upset and got my grandson mad at his dad and me. I am mmmaaaaddd.

I had a family that was there but then slowly started drifting apart till there was no more. I had a loving father who drifted away 2 which became a phonecall relationship I had a loving mother who built a wall 2 block us out of her life I had a brother who became violent & angry at everything i did. The world was bright, but began to darken. My house was my home till it became a hell with prisoned bars that began 2 hurt & torture me inside. Everything in my life I was broughtin into was taken from me & left me stranded 2 fend 4 myself. Having to relearn my communication, ability, defence, emotions, my trust, & how 2 to live in my home I didnt recognize anymore. I was pushed into a dark deserted world & was never acknowledged in being saved.

How does life change so dramatically in the blink of an eye? Everytime I look back on the person I used 2 be, compared 2 wat I am now is why I hate being me. Ive been blind so many years I can now notice the steps & incidents that has led up 2 being the nobody I am today. Looking at kids today I hate them not for who they r but wat they r. They have life, which makes them the happy human beings they r. Half maybe more will loose that by falling in2 many of lifes deadly traps as I have. Ive been in all & still am Ive created all into 1 dark hole that I now live in & may 4 the rest of my life. All I have no is a choise I can either use all my strength 2 come out & face the 4gotten light that shines above all or stay in what now has become my home, until the day I die.

I
In my free time I like to listen to music. Music is relaxing and it helps me fall asleep. I like it when after a long day of working, I play a song that I love and it helps clear my mind. It's like I don't worry about anything around me but relaxed. I also like music because music helps me fall asleep. Some nights when I can't sleep, I just pop a smooth song and after the first few hours I just fall asleep and wake up latter with so much energy. That’s what I do on my free time.

Well, it hasn't been going so well around the house and my parents are fighting all the time because my dad didn't pay taxes last year because he was gambling. Anyways, i've been getting in trouble a lot lately and i shoplifted a few times and i didn't know y i did it.

i am trying to plan ahead. I have told 2 people in my family to knock it off and show some respect. The other family memebers don't 'get it' (they are passive and just want the family together no matter what... just shut up and show up kinda thing). So now if I go to family gathering and someone starts in on me with guilt, or telling me what is best for my kids, picking on my kids, picking on me.... I don't want to cause a scene (I am already looked down upon because I stand up for myself). How to handle this situation as quietly as possilbe so not everybody frowns on me and gets mad at me....

To make an extremely long story short: I was supposed to go away to Miami for school, but that didn't work out. Before I left for school, I was a hostess in a restaurant for 2 years. Since coming back home, I've gotten a job in a department store, which I hate. The managers at the restaurant are begging me to come back and work as a waitress. I want to, and the rest of my family wants me to, but my mother doesn't want me to because she's afraid I won't go back to school. Technically I can do what I want, but since I still live home, I don't want there to be a fight or have my mother mad at me.

How can I convince her that I am not making a bad choice? She wants me to either stay at the department store or work in another store, but I will not be able to pay my bills with those jobs because I won't make enough.

we worked so hard for our own expenses but at the end of the day, most of our earnings end up being borrowed. they always have some sad stories to tell. we couldnt bring ourselves to say no. and bad thing is, they take a loooooooong time to pay. and before they even pay up, they borrowed again. "they" are our siblings. thus we have to go around borrowing to cover our own expenses. both hubby and me doesnt earn much. today is our 1st anniversary. i am so sad cos we cant even celebrate, for obvious reasons.
