Family - February 2007

My ex mother in law has terminal cancer. She doesn't have that much longer to live, maybe a month or two. I was married to her son when she was diagnosed 2 years ago, but we have since divorced. We were married for 14 years. I have been dating the same man for a while now and she as well as my ex father in law have met him and get along great with him. I am still close to my ex in laws. The topic of the funeral has come up and they both say to attend, and that if I want to that my fiance should attend with me. My ex husband and I are cordial to each other and we have a son together. His girlfriend - the main reason for our divorce - however, has not been welcomed into the family and no one cares for her. I doubt she will attend the funeral. Even though my ex-inlaws say I should attend with my fiance, what do others think? Should I bring him with or is this something I should go on my own? My fiance says it is up to me as he doesn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

Every Sunday my father-in-law is guaranteed to visit (he lives about an hour-drive away). He's told us to assume he's going to be there, but just to be sure we told him to call. Sometimes we ignore his calls on Sunday morning in hopes he'll not come, but he'll come anyway!

He's coming to visit my children (two-year old twins), and we love that he wants to do this, but at the same time, my wife and I would like our Sunday afternoons once in awhile. We always feel like we have to entertain him and feed him dinner.

Don't get me wrong, we love that he wants to spend time with his grandchildren that much, so whatever we do, we want to say it nicely!

What can I do?

I am 15, and have a 37 year olf half brother. My dad won't speak of him after what he did, but I have wanted to get in contact for some time now. There is a little thing in the local paper, as his mum has just died. I could contact the funeral service and get his details, and get in contact, do you think I should or just forget about him. I don't think he knows I exist, and it would open the wounds between him and my dad, and if my dad ever found he would never speak to me again, but i really want to contact him. Should I?

i have already posted this question, but it ended up in mobile phones!

ok it is my boyfriends little sisters 21st in a couple of weeks. Her and i have always been very close and i want to do something really special for her. I always thought we would just go out together and get really dressed up and really drunk and i would shout the night. but she ca'n't drink...she has chronic fatigue, but only in the very early stages, so it doesn't effect her too badly, she has glandular fever and a staffi infection. So she can't drink obviously. she isn't having a party as she would be he only sober one there which would suck. her interests are dolphins, surfing, music. we live in south australia. The best i can come up with is getting a hotel room for me her and her older sister and having a girls night like a really girly sleepover with chick flicks, junk food, gossip, magazines etc etc. but i want a better idea than that! something she will be able to remember forever!please help!!!

I'm engaged , recently, I have known about my soon to be mother in law's affair for about 5 years now, of course my fiancee does not know.. I am losing sleep and feel as if I am cheating by keeping a secret. She uses me and her grandchildren , as excuses to sneak and see her boyfriend because my house is so close to his.. I can not take it anymore, I want my marriage to work and I would feel betrayed if he keeped something like this from me. She promised me that she was trying to leave, of course that was 3 years ago... I can not marry him, with this burden on my shoulders, i feel as if this will in the long run destroy our relationship.. I am planning to meet with his mother and tell her how I feel and let her know that she needs to tell him.. Also she is partying with my fiancee ex- girlfriend. She shares all our information , pictures with her.. It is hard not to be angry/ jealous and resentful, especially when she will not let her son know. What is the correct way to act?

I am trying to think of something to give my little bro for his birthday.(He's turning 9). I got him a cool skater hat and some sugarless gum, but I need 1 other thing to give him. He loves the book Bone and he watches any movie he can. His favorites are HP and Star Wars/Trek. The gift needs to be under $7 and somewhere my parents will be willing to drive me. Can you please help me find something?

What about your parents made you rebel? Did they pay too much attention? Too little? Did they influence your sexual activity? Did you experience more because of what they told you or didnt tell you? I know this is kind of personal but I need honest answers for a article I'm doing.

My sister is going to NYC for the weekend with some people she works with (all over 21) and is BEGGING to borrow my ID (I'm 23, she's two weeks shy of 21). We don't look that much alike, so that worries me, but mostly I just worry that something would happen to her and it would be MY fault! What are the chances of her pulling this off? I feel like a heel for not giving it to her, since she will be the only one in the group underage, but my motherly/sisterly instinicts are telling me not to do it. Am I justified? Does anyone have any scary "i borrowed my friends id" stories that I can use to convince her it's a bad idea? What would the consequenses be if they didn't believe the ID was her's?

Please help!

His exwife gave him custody of his daughter once she found out we were together. She does not pay child support (she won't work) or help in any way with their daughter. We have full responsibility for her, I mainly take care of her because her dad work 2 jobs. However, her mother has the right to see her or call her whenever she wants if she wants to, and when she is sick I am the one that has to take care of her. She might call to see how she feels when she is told that she is sick. I can't help but feel a little upset that we have the full responsibility of the child and the mother has no responsibilities at all. While I am taking care of her sick child, she is care free. How do I not let this bother me to the point where I get so frustrated. I know that her mother is not a good role model for the child and lives with several different men, however, I still get ill thinking that I have her responbilities and she can play mom when it is convenient for her.

I have been living with my new partner for a couple of years. We have both been married before and have children from these marraiges. My partner has 3 boys that live with there mum and I have a son of 19 years who moved in with his girlfriend about 6 months ago and a daughter of 11 years who lives at home with us. We also have a baby girl between us.We have a 3 bed house and when my son moved out we gave my daughter the large bedroom and made the smaller bedroom into a nursery for our baby. Occasionally my partners sons come to stay and we make do with blow up beds etc.
Today my son came home and said he has seperated from his girlfriend and has no where to live and wants to come back home. We have just finished the nursery and are settled and there isn't really room for my son . I feel really sad as I love my son very much and hate turning him away but my partner says he can only stay for a couple of days. I don't know what to do. Do I upset my partner or my son.

Our daughter is our 1st born out of 3. girl 16,boy 13,girl 11.
She's always been and extraordinary child, excellent grades, wonderful disposition, outgoing, fun, a delight to be around. Then it happened...... she turned 16 starting seeking her independence, which is natural but her attitude is unbearable. I spend more timing disliking her than liking her... I love all my children deeply, let me clarify that. But there are times when I don't like her. She thinks the world revolves around her... cliche, I know but true. She is moody, lazy, disrespectful and unappreciative. She is nothing like she was a year ago...Is this a faze... Will she grow out of it... I know i need to pick my battles but I feel like I am battling constantly. She recently lied, she has never lied before. She was the kind of child who would confess something because the guilt was killing her. You didn't even have to ask, she would confess before we even knew something was broken for example. help
