Family - February 2007

Seriously, After 6 years of being let down too many times, My son has come to terms with the fact his (REAL) Dad isn't going to be around for him.. (i have court order against him) and he is desperate for Male companionship.. I haven't got a partner, or any male family around me to spend time with him, and he's feeling very insecure, He's having 'Berevement councelling' and also has a support worker at school to help him cope and come to terms with things, But he's Desperate for a 'Daddy' and i don't want to find a partner on the bases of looking for a daddy for my son.. I've been on my own for years, and in every relationship i've had he's attached himself TOO quickly only to get hurt.. So.. Does anyone know of an organisations or anything that run some sort of scheme for fatherless children? in the US i know of a 'Big Brother Scheme' but i'm unable to find anything else??? Please help me.

My husband is deceased and now my father in law has died.
My husband was heir to 1/3 of 1/2 of the estate. since I am not blood kin to my father in law do I share in the inheritance.

My husband works, and I stay at home with our daughter. I am with her 24/7. I love her with all my heart, but everyone needs a break don't they? I see it as he gets to go to work and get a way, but me, I am here, I no longer have the friends I use to, I moved on with my life and they are still partying it up.

I am just really stressed out about this situation because he gripes that he does not get to go fishing, but what is my fishing? I can't just up and leave. He is a wonderful father and husband its just he doesnt see that things change when you have a family.

*No sour answers please* just because we are a young married couple with a child doesn't mean we screwed up*and just because I said I moved on with my life doesnt mean I am just a dumb high school graduate, I am planning to go to college when she is about a year* So no rude answers such as, you should have kept your legs closed, or your to young for a baby.
i am 19 and he is 21

my husband exwife who he shares 2 children with got diagnosed with cancer last month.its curable and she has a huge local support team(mom,dad,sisters,freinds).the problem is she relies on my husband for everything.we now have both girls(which i love)almost full time(as she needed surgery and chemo) but continue to pay full child support to her.we are not rich by all means and this is really hurting us.plus she allways wants my husband to come visit her with the girls,or have my husband pick her up to bring her to the girls sports/school activities(her mom/sisters could do this to just as easly)the reason i seem so much like a b-tch is this women made our lifes hell befor she got sick i can't even begin to tell u the stuff she has done.now that shes sick she wants my husband to be her good friend.the problem is my husband does all this stuff for her and even throws extra money her way that we don't have.i do feel sorry for her but i can't forget all the things she has done to us.

My bf is so laid back and so chilled out till its making me crazy. We recently purchased a home together and I am doing the lion's share of the work. I have spoiled him rotten.
I think that his parents, who he lived with before buying the house with me also spoiled him rotten.
Now, he's a great guy!!! He does anything in his power to make the best happen for us. But, here's the problem, everything that I want done in the house, I have to ask or suggest first. It's like he doesn't see that the door needs to be fixed or the dogs need to be walked or whatever...He's a great guy, like I said but the only way anything gets done in the house is if I ask or suggest it?
Am I being unfair? I am tiring of asking for the obvious. Help, please.

Here's the deal.my sister has bothered me with my wedding planning, not purposely, but has been picky with everything because she's pregant and is due within 2 months of my wedding date. There's not one particular thing, it's just her attitude about our wedding in general. My fiance told me that he was going to call her and talk to her about it if she said one more thing negative about it. And of course I opened my big mouth and said she mentioned that she didn't like one of the meal options we're offering, and he's like, that's it I'm calling her to talk to her. He was calling her to remind her that it is my day and to start being supportive. I told him that I didn't really want him to, but he called her when he was at work and left a message saying he'd call back. So, my sister called me and asked me why he called. And I was caught off guard and told her the truth.Now she's mad and assuming that he was going to talk harse to her and he's not allowed over there.Was he disrespectful?

My step-daughter has lived with us for 6months. Before that she lived with her mother and her 9yr old brother. The two of them were inseperable. Now when he comes for his weekend visits she treats him like dirt and won't spend any time with him. She also tries to manipulate all her father's time so that he cannot spend time with her little brother. Any suggestions on how to get her to get over her jealousy or whatever it is that is going on?

My younger brother stopped speaking to me due to a very petty problem. We haven't argued, and I let him know that I wanted to resolve the situation. Prior to this, I thought that we were close. When I asked my mother why he wasn't speaking to me, since she indicated that she knew, all she said was that he thinks that I'm living in another world. When I asked what she meant, she said that she wasn't going to get involved. I think what she said made her involved, especially since she obviously has spoken with my brother about the situation. My mother and I have never really gotten along, and I think that she is wrong for not hearing my side especially after speaking to my brother about it. My older brother also is in on this in the same manner. I am at the point where I don't want anything to do with any of them because of this situation. I think that my brother was wrong to even say anything to my mother due to the fact that he knows she is usually against me. What do you think?

My dad is 40yrs old and goes to work everyday. He works in a office doing work on the computer. He then comes home and goes straight to the internet and plays the Sims and second life games until dinner. He then eats and goes back to the computer until bed. 11pm. He is on the computer ALL THE TIME. My family is very upset with him. My grandparents travel 300 miles to visit. Where is my dad? On the computer. The family is starting to think that he has something against them! He has a very addictive personality. He is a recovering alcholic and now he has a internet addiction. He also never wants to go and do anything and doesnt hold a conversation. How can we tell him nicely that we want to see him more? When we ask him to visit us, he tells us to go in the home office with him while he plays games... Please help us.

I am worried about my sister. I am married & out on my own but I stay so stressed out about her & my mom. They live with my grandma & all 3 of them argue constantly & even my mom & g'ma argue more. My sister is almost 16 & treats my mom & g'ma terrible. She talks back, she stays to herself, and she isn't putting any effort into school anymore. One minute she is happy & the next she is spitting fire. Just this morning she woke with an attitude towards my mom & didn't want to go to school. She cries alot & I really feel like she has anger built up inside of her. My mom doesn't have a lot of money to get things but she does get more than what I use to. She doesn't really tell me anything either. I guess because we are 11 yrs apart & she looks at me like a "parent". She has successful friends so why isn't she trying in school? I tell her all the time that her education is important but I don't think it sinks in. She's been ill-tempered since she was little.
Do u think she is bipolar?

Taking away health insurance from stay-at-home parents and their kids? How, exactly, does this contribute to or protect the "sanctity of marriage" or benefit even a single family or child? EVERYONE knew this was the likely outcome when they voted Yes on Michigan's "marriage amendment"- every newspaper in the state predicted it- and though the "Family" groups denied this was their goal, they wasted no time at all filing lawsuits once it passed.

This will probably get removed by a Bible Thumper who values appearances over real people and real families, but people with Family Values like this positively sicken me!
