Family - March 2007

I have been with my partner for 6 years, and am having his second baby. He comes from a fairly well off family and i grew up in a large family with no money. I often get a bad vibe from his parents, they make comments when he is not around that i take offence to then if i ask my husband to question them they say they didnt mean it in a bad way. He alwyas believes them and thinks they are saints, when I know they are not. He has told me when he was drunk they are worried im going to take everything they worked hard for, which I have no intention of doing, but if they keep being mean it will make it alot easier to do. Im sick of a mumma's boy at 27, when will he grow up??

I babysit for her 2 kids on occasion. Recently, my SIL has been dating a man from India. Now, all she cooks is Indian food, which her kids hate. She makes stuff with coconut and ginger and big pieces of onion--- not stuff kids like! But when I babysit, she tells me to make them eat it. I DONT make them eat it though. Today I made them cheese sandwiches. What do you think? Is she out of her mind? It seems unfair to the kids to me.

and she said its none of my business. I told her if she's not happy than get a divorce but she's insists she's staying for my brothers and I. I know the right thing to do would be to tell my dad but he would be devestated. I have cut all contact with her and she has done the same even though we're living in the same house. II have 2 brothers which only 1 (the youngest @ 17) seems to care. I feel like the other has blocked it out of his mind. My mom keeps insisting its her business and for me to stay out but i think as long as i'm her daughter and she is still married to my dad than its my business!!!

I have an alcolholic father who is down to nothing. I live closest to him and my sisters tell me i should check on him and help him. I decided i could not. I have a family of my own. To add to things i emailed my sisters this heart felt message reveiling my own secret. I told them i joined AA because i could not deal with dad. And that i am an alcoholic. I also added i could not check on dad cuz that would be to hard. I quit drinking and can not deal with him. I was very open with both of them. So i figured by this evening they would have both emailed me back. One did she forwarded me some stuff. NO MENTION to what i wrote earlier this morning.
I want to know now how to deal with people who dont beleive in being open and talking about alcoholism.
My mom divorced my dad over this. She did not want her girls to grow up that way. So i now have my dads problem and i saw my moms light. What is wrong with this family. These sisters of mine.
I want to cry cuz they just dont get it.

So my mother and I had an argument and after we did she's basically done everything BUT disown me [really].

Now, I feel like I’m not wanted in my own home. A few months back my cousin moved in with us, [he's 29, living rent-free, doesn't pay any bills, has my mom waiting on him hand and foot, something even I don't do, she doesn't even do the things she does for my cousin FOR my dad! am I missing something here?] and ever since he moved in things haven't been the same around here. He's always sucking up to her and putting her against my dad and me, and the funny thing is that he always succeeds. So now, I find myself alone and a bit hurt, she's been sayings things about me to my dad, and every time I walk into a room she walks out [and so does Mr. Freeloader right along with her]. I try to talk to her but she basically ignores my every word, it’s like I’m invisible to her!

Now I try to play it off as if it doesn't bother me none, but in all reality it's killing me inside...

i don't think he wants her back as he left her and she would take him back in a heart beat.they do share a young child together so this maybe part of it. he tells me all the time how awful and controlling she was to him thats why he left but he still allows her to call the shots.why?its like thier still married just not living together and i'm the 3rd wheel.he seems more conserned about what she thinks/feels than me.

My fiance got in a stand off with me. He refused to listen to me, then got in a bad mood and walked out of the room. I had told him that I could not take picking up after him anymore. I cleaned our place til very late at night. The next morning he woke up and left his towel hanging on the door, handcream on the table, blanket thrown in a heap on the sofa, etc etc etc. He even told me it was unimportant to put his dish in the dishwasher. (after I cooked him lunch). I do so much from cooking every meal for him, ironing his clothes, you name it I do but he says these things I ask are small and unimportant. If they are so small why won't he reciprocate just to make me a little happy? He said he got in a bad mood cause I nagged him. I feel taken for granted, used and frustrated that to even ask the smallest things ends up in an enormous fight. What do you think?

Her boyfriend is on disability(obviously), the police reports say the accident is his fault, he owes $12,000 for his hospital bills. My sister is working. A LOT. She works overtime every single day,and on Saturday as well. He has her give him her check, & gives her a small portion. Seriously small. And puts the rest in his account for bills,rent,etc. She has to ask him if she wants to buy shoes,a new top,etc. Then he says we are broke, cant afford it, so on. But just last week he bought a remote controlled helecoptor,it was 80 bucks. He spends a bunch of $, but gets mad when she wants to spend $. What the heck?

My husband's brother and his family gave me a used airline bag (the ones airlines give away for free when travelling business or first class) for Christmas. The bag contained used socks; earplugs and a used toothbrush covered in toothpaste and muck. The bag itself was stained yellow due to age. I mentioned this to my brother-in-law and he apologised immediately, he explained that his wife kept presents and recycled them, she must have just grabbed this for me without checking it. I subsequently received a call from my sister-in-law saying that she had paid good money for the bag and was very angry, no apology. My mother-in-law was annoyed with me for mentioning it and said that I should have just thrown out the bag and forgotten about it. Was I wrong in pointing out that they gave me a used toothbrush for Christmas ?

12 yrs ago I had sex with a family members friend. Yes it was a one night stand. I had just broken up with my b/f a few weeks before hand. When it got around that I was pregnant the family member asked the friends mother if the baby could be the friends. When the mother confronted the friend he said yes he had had sex with me. Later on the mother became my aunt by marring into my family. At a family function she had taken many photos of my child that was then three and compared them to her own son when he was at that age. They looked like twins. She then showed my mother the pictures who was also convinced that he was the father. I had said nothing to no one on who the father was. Now everyone in my family had known who they thought the father was, but she (his mother) had said she did not want me to persue him as the father because according to her he would not be a good parent and they do not even acknowledge my child as being her granddaughter.

I cant stand living with my mother, she is fat and lazy and doenst do anything for herself. She never wants to talk to me of go places or do things and even if she did, I wouldnt want to because she is such a terrible person. Her and her rotten boyfriend. I want to go and move with my dad. My dad actually wants me to move in with him. He has an awesome wife and a wonderful step son. My mother nor stepfather went to college but my father and stepmom did and I think that because I plan on going, it would help me to go stay with them. We have awesome chemistry, we can like talk and then hours just fly past. My mother doesnt want me to leave because she is on welfare and then she would have to work. She is just using me and I am tired of it. I dont even think that she really loves me. My father wants to go legal but she doesnt so she can get that welfare money. I am 15 now and I think that I am old enough to decide where I want to live. What type of legal action do I need to take?

I've been reading a lot of the questions on Yahoo Answers and it seems like the ones in the "Family" section are the most depressing. I don't think it should be that way, so I invite people to read the source and either comment on it or say something they like about their family.

Ok so I have this really dead beat dad who after he got a divorce with my mom moved nearly half way across the country from us and I roughly see every two years or so. We get phone calls about 6 times a year and letters for holidays about 4 times a year. Is it wrong for me to take the money out and not read the letter? I mean its not that I only care about the money but this guy decides to just forget about his family, marry some lady on a cruise that we weren't invited to or told anything about until about 2 years later, and acts like he's this saint minister when he doesn't even know his own daughters. So why should I care what he has to say at all neverless sloppily written in a crumy papercard? Any advice?

If you know you said one thing and your mate tells you you said another and makes you question yourself and tells his family and friends that you made fun of him, and they treat you bad because of his insecurity and b.s., what do you do? It is not an isolated incident, it is often.

My mother-in-law has always had issues with me marry her only child. She has been very possessive over my husband his entire life and is very controlling.

Ever since she found out we are having our first baby she has been making a lot of comments like, “How is my baby doing?” and “How is our baby today?”

I don’t know why it bugs me, but it does. I know she is excited because this is her first grandchild, but this is my husband’s and my baby and she doesn’t own our baby.

Did you have family members who did this? Do I just ignore her like I have been doing and let it go? I am afraid her possessive behavior is just the beginning!
