Family - March 2007

Whenever we talk about progressing or doing something productive...family always gets quiet and says nothing or changes the subject.....do they not have faith in us?Do they think we're lying or full of it?..It hurts our feelings that they aren't supportive and stay mum when we talk of our plans.....What could be the reason?

My sister always hangs with this girl, and when she comes home she's bitchy, mean, and thinks she can get whatever she wants. My parents "ban" her from the girl, but it never works. I'm 2 years older than her and I was never like that. How can I make her grow up a little quicker and make her understand that she is a totally different person around other people?

OK so basically, my mother is older, has not-so-great health and is very religious/traditional. My fiance' and I are planning to get married out-of-state for several good reasons (problems with his family, we are afraid his ex-wife may crash the wedding, its romantic, also we want a very small wedding). Anyways, I am petrified to tell my mother. She's the type that likes to tell her children what to do and give them guilt trips if they dont abide. I am her youngest child and I understand that she wants to be there but I need to have my wedding MY way. We plan on having a reception here at a later date. What do I do when my mother goes pyscho about this?
I'm just so horrible at confrontation and I've always avoided it with her my whole life. This is one thing I can't avoid and I dont really know how to handle it.
Thanks for any advice

About 5 years ago, my parents got divorced. Lets just say that my Mom wasn't interested in keeping the family together at the time, which I think is a source of guilt for her today. Things have been going OK, but sometimes she thinks that I'm distancing my self from her. Recently, she has began to cook excessive amounts of food for my brother and I. I'm talking like a 6 pound tray of brownies every week, and tons of other unhealthy food. I am always trying to be healthy, and I have told her many times to stop making this kind of food. In addition to my concerns, my brother is beginning to become overweight. He is starting to spend more time on his computer, and less time with his friends due to his worsening problem. Between these two factors, I am absolutely dumbfounded that my Mom continues to make ridiculous amounts of food. Dose anyone know why my mom is doing this?

I feel trapped by my own mother. I have friends of my own age but feel as though I never get to go out. I understand that she loves me and doesn't want me to get hurt, but I wish it were different. I do not do drugs, I don't have sex, and I don't smoke or drink. I'm not really planning to either. I have no history of doing any of those things. I'm 15 years old, and a 3.8 average student. I understand that I am kind of pretty, which could make me a target for some things. She won't let me even have a myspace, even set on private. I'm not allowed to take the city bus after about 5, even though I don't get home until 4:20 on a school day. She won't drive me places because she is too busy or because I ask her to drive me that day. When I ask to go places a week ahead of time, she says she doesn't know because it's too early for her to know. I've tried to explain to her that I feel trapped, but she just brings up excuses about bad people in the world. Please help.

My parents are on a tight budget for the wedding esp. the bridesmaid dresses. This is because I have found a dress that I like that is a little over my budget, but what the hell you only get married once (well I am anyway!) so therefore the money-pot has gone down a little more on bridesmaids dresses. I am paying for my maid of honours (she has just brought a house and is broke), my godmothers' daughter is paying for half of hers, my cousins' father is paying for one of their dresses and my flower girls dress is therefore still left to be covered. My fiance family are quite "well off", so why the heck couldn't I ask if they could pay for the little one's flower girl dress. I have even thought about saying don't worry about giving a present it would mean a lot to pay for the dress. Which woulfd only be about 50 quid anyway! ($90)
Am I about to be very rude or what??
PS. My fiance's sister is expecting a baby anyday soon and I have just brought the baby 2 cute outfits!!! hehhehe

My inlaws have offered to buy my daughter her first big bed for her 2nd birthday. Now I have a certain theme going in her room and would like one style bed in particular. They asked me to choose a bed, which I did, then they said no it wasnt good value for money and tried to convince me to get the style bed THEY liked. I said no, I dont want that bed for her room, but I feel as though they think i am being difficult. I am more than happy to buy the bed I want for my daughter myself, but they keep insisting. Should I stand my ground?

I am 17 years old and I have lived in NJ all my life. My parents have had plans of moving to NC when me and my older brother graduate, [ ever since I was a little girl ]. I have family there and my brother just graduated and Im about to start my senior year in high school. They just found a house with acres in NC. We are down for the weekend and they are trying to decide what to do. Move Now? Move in a year? Buy a house? Buy acres? there are so many things we need to consider. We don't even know where my parents can find jobs but for their career fields it shouldnt be hard for either one of them. Today they asked me if I am ready to move down here now or if I want to finish school in NJ. I dont know where I will be able to go to college, I have been wanting to move and start a new life bc I have gone thru a lot especially in these past few years, but I don't really want to leave behind my 2 best friends and job even though, my friends will be leaving and going off their seperate ways next year anyways [ because of college. I don't know what to do? or how to go about this. I would love to hear your thoughts and what you would do in this situation. Thank you =]

My mother is/was an abusive, two faced person with immense love and immense abusive issues. She beat us up, called us every obscenity in the world and yet would defend us to the end when we were in trouble and would often cry for forgiveness. She put us before her in all things, but was physically and verbally too much. I moved across the US to get away and start my life. I swore to learn to be not like her. But I find many of my habits like hers (short-tempered, mood swings, depression, and lack of financial education) My mother was always depending on men to pay her bills. She did not know how to manage her money. I feel like I am becoming her. My bf is so good to me and I do not want to become insane like her. What can I do to work out those traits she has influenced me with? I am a lot more happy and confident since I ran away at 19, but I still feel her habits have rubbed off on me. I know nothing about money management and common sense stuff. What can I do to truly start fresh?
