Family - March 2007

Parents.... the most important persons in our life. Their policy is to give give give & give. Giving love, care, attention & a bright future to their children. We needed them badly when we were born. Because we were unable to feed ,clean or look after ourselves. We needed their supporting hand on each & every step of our growing childhood. Our bright future was always their aim. Now after growing young, we care about our dreams our future... what about them? our parents? I saw many people running behind their dreams fulfilling their needs ignoring their own parents. Is it really easy to ignore the persons who thought about your happiness, future & succsess before you? Is it so difficult to live with them & give them the same care, attention & love that they used to give you when you were small?
My main Question is... Is it easy to live without parents? And the excuse used is 'we don't have time for them!!!' Can a person be so much selfish?

Ok this is a little bit hard to follow but I'm 21 and I lived by myself all during college, so I've done the be on my own thing. When I graduated I came back to live with my parents. Mostly because I own horses and they're at my parents place, that way I can take care of the horses instead of my parents doing the work. Plus I work some of my job teaching riding lesson out of there place because my horses are there. My other job is near them also. Not to mention I like being around to help them if they need it. My parents like me living with them and most of the time I enjoy it also. However my ex fiancee has now been going on and on about how it's so wrong for me to live with them because "I'm almost 22 and still living with my parents". Yeah umm it's not like I'm 30 or don't have the money to move out or something. So I was just curious of others opinions...

Okay, so my brother had a child out of wedlock. Not his best decision making (the sex, i mean), but now there is this adorable little 6mo old (he'll be 7mos on friday) that i, his aunt, have fallen in absolute love with. But the mother and my brother don't exactly get along all the time (a very long story, in short, she still loves him, but he's not too into her anymore, just wants to take care of his baby). so whenever they get into an argument, (which is usually pretty often) my mom makes me wait until they have resolved it until we can bring him home. I was wondering, is that fair to me, or us (my parents and me)? I know that it is their kid and all, but if they are having an issue, as long as we are staying out of it, there should be no problem with us spending time with him, right? i just don't get it. All i want to do is see my nephew, not get into my brothers' personal life. Is what my mom doing right? I just want some clarification. Thanks

I live with my Mum, her partner, my sister and my boyfriend (we are both early twenties) My mum gives me a hard time all the time and favours my younger sister. My younger sister who is 18 lives at home board free (because she has left school and has no job), free meals, while i have to pay $70 and get no meals. My bf has to pay $70 a wk aswell and we share the same room. I dont earn alot. My mum is always moaning at me and it is driving me nuts. If she isn't her partner is. I want to go flatting but can't really afford it and my boyfriend doesn't want to live with 'strangers'. What can i do? It frustrates me what my mum charges me and my boyfriend to live with my own family in my own family home. However the constant naggin and moaning for usually nothing is really getting to me. HELP any suggestions?

I am 22 years old and my father was killed in a car wreck before I was born, My mother was only 1 month pregnant with me, He never knew my name or anything about me. I am somewhat religous and believe he is looking down and me now, but I honestly don't know how to get over this...I mean you never really " get over" something like this , but how do you grieve for someone you don't know, It's very difficult....anyway I was just looking for someone who maybe is in the same boat. My mother is good and she has always been open to talk about him, but I would rather not ask because it hurts her soo much...I am pretty close with his side of the family ....his mom and brothers and sisters,,,,,,( my grandma and etc.,,,) I want to just find more out about what happend to him ......I don't know......I just want to enjoy my life and not feel sorry for myself anymore..........By the way I do have a WONDERFUL step dad.....who has been here for me since I was 5 so I do feel very blessed

Hi. I am wondering what to do with the $1,100 my dad gave me when we moved. I am 13 years old right now. Should I save it for something big, or spend it on Xbox games and stuff?

P.S: I am not going to have to pay off the money for the car I get immediately. My bro is almost 18 and hasn't paid his and my dad's fine as long as he pays it off soon.

I hate liars and lying. But once and a while it seems necessary to tell a little one. I know I know...there are no little ones.

I need to tell my mom that I am dating a guy, my age, my school, nothing out of the ordinary. I have never dated a guy before, I am in 8th grade. It is nothing serious, we have not even kissed or anything. He just puts his arm around me and we talk and stuff. She thinks that I really want to get revenge on him for some weird thing that he did a while ago though. I have no idea how to tell her that I am going out with someone! There are other people going out in my grade and stuff, more serious than me, but I have no clue how to tell her. My mom and I are REALLY close, so I tell her almost everthing, how do I tell her that I am now going out with a guy?

I got answer on my last question that because they're my parents, they know what's best. So, if my parents are racist, should I be too? They know what's best right? Parents aren't perfect and they don't always know everything that's right, because they're people too, so I think I should make my own decisions if I know something they do is wrong. Do you agree?

...like to just be alone sometimes? For example, away from your mate. Do you feel bad because they say you don't spend enough time with them? Do you put yourself out so you don't dissapoint? I wish I could run away to a dreamworld and relax on a cloud....

My ex left me 8 months pregnant. Moved to better our lives with a higher paying job..I was moving there with him..he called and broke up with me..saying that he is tired of my bullshit and drama..well he tells me this now..never said a word of it before..I'm emotional because of the pregnancy..I really love him, was together for almost a decade..got together very young. I don't think he knows what he wants. I'm seeing more stories like this everyday..He says he loves me but doesn't seem to want to make it work. He says there is no other woman...I don't want to give up..I can't wait to see my lil son and I hope that will open his eyes..maybe he is scared? He says he isn't..

its been about 3 months since we moved in. we pay way too much a month, and my dad is really stressed out. he wont admit it though, that he made a mistake in buying the house. my mom thinks that he can handle it, and barely helps about 1/5 of the whole payment. and since he works all the time, with only 4 hours to sleep, no fruits, little veggies, and lots of stress, with no medical insurance, im afraid that his health is at risk. but what can i do? im not old enough to get a job yet... and he doesnt listen to me.

We live in California and my mother-in-law lives in Arizona and it's becoming difficult for her to visit and us in turn. My husband's concrete business has slowed down significantly and the cost of living is high and we're barely making ends meet, but we love the area and the climate. She emailed us today asking if we would like to move to Phoenix or the outskirts of Phoenix and my husband is willing to jump at it, but I have never been to Phoenix and don't know anything about it. Needless to say, I am terrified of going. I've heard that it is extremely hot in the summer and I don't know about the job potential there, the average pay, the average cost of rent and if it's high like California's, and which area are the best to live. I don't want to hurt my husband's feeling nor my mother-in-laws feelings if we don't move because of them now reconnecting after 13 years, but I am seriously terrified. If someone knows more info on Phoenix it would be appreciated.

I was adopted at 7 months of age, the details of my adoption are complex and too much to get into, but My birth mother lost her rights over me, and a year or two later, lost her rights over my brother. She was murdered when i was around 11 or 12 years old. Apparently, she had twin girls, but they passed away. I would really like to know more, but have no idea where to start and i am not willing to pay for services i cannot afford when it is not a sure thing. My brothers birth name was Jeremy Easly, his DOB was March 1st of probably 1983 or 84. My birth name was Katrina Danielle Guitano, Feb 1st 1982, and my birth mothers name was Carol Anita Guitano, she was murdered November of 95. My alleged birth fathers names are either Gary Easly or Tony Cook. If anyone has any idea of more info or knows of a route that i can take, please let me know. Thank you. P.S. I need to know medical info as well, such as hereditary disorders, like autism and MD.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried that and what are some ideas? I want him back..he moved so far away to take a job with his dad but we stayed together but he called and broke up with me over a month ago..I am 8 months pregnant..I am concentrating on my lil baby boy but I can't but want him back also. He thinks I am dating someone and is calling more often but today we decided not to talk on the phone for awhile while we clear our heads. What steps do I take for him to realize what he is giving up? We are young 22&23..been together for 7 years. His dad walked out on him when he was a baby and my father did the same to me. I can't help but feel like the same old patterns are repeating themselves. He has no family here but me and his son. He says he won't move back here and that if we EVER get back together I would have to move there, which I would. Ideas?
