Family - March 2007

Many people think parents, or parental figures are the most important thing a child needs when growing up. Why do you think they are? (teach kids, etc.)

I recently gave up my home (and essentially my whole life) so I could move into my mums house to be her carer and I'm starting to resent her so much. Initially she needed me because she broke a hip, but that's healed now and she needs me around because she has severe arthritis in both her knees which gives her serious mobility problems and she needs a Zimmer frame or crutches to walk. She tends to sit down ALL the time and very rarely moves out of her chairs, in fact as far as she's concerned she's getting exercise if she gets up and goes to the toilet! Her doctor has said she needs to "use it or lose it" about her knees and she's already losing it because her legs are wasting away. She's only 5ft tall but weighs about 17 and a half stone so she desperately needs exercise. I've tried coaxing her but she won't listen and all I really want to do is scream "You're a lazy fat bag" at her. She won't do anything, except eat and watch TV or use her computer. Any advice? (She's 69.)

I love my Dad dearly. He sold his home up north & bought a home down south just 1 mile from where I live with my husband and 2 boys. My boys & I are very happy my Dad is moving here (just him & his little dog), my husband isn't as happy. My Dad hasn't a car, he can't drive, he's semi-retired on disablity but he does well for himself. There isn't the convienence of busses like up north, but he does have a scooter. Dad is so excited he can be closer to me and my family. I moved away 15 years ago after I got married. I've been up north visiting at least 1-2x a yr by myself & w/my husband & kids. My Dad & I are very close & we get along well. I wonder if we'll get on each others nerves living so close to each other and being together more often. Also I hope I don't hear from my husband that I spend more time @ my Dad's then @ our home. If anyone out there has gone thru this type of experience & has any "Do's & Don't" they can share, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

my brother inlaw finace is always rude and bitchy to me. she has said nasty comments about my son and plays childish games. if you read my last question it will explain a few things more. i know now that she is going to great lengths to exclude me. do you think that it was stupid of me to say to the cousin inlaw that she sees all the time what i should have said directy to her. i told the cousin that i dont know what her problem is but feel as though she is jealous of us and feels threaten by me. this cousin told me months ago that she is jealous and now has just told me that she has been aware of bitchy comments she say to me. you see my sister in law threw a party and invited all other family members & not me. i said to the cousin that she made herself look stupid & that she is showing everyone just how jealous, & threaten she is by going to great lengths to exclude me. the cousin thinks that i need to ask her what the problem is. was it wrong saying these things to the cousin

I don't smoke, and don't really appreciate it around me, so my boyfriend, after coughing and spluttering for ages decided to give up. He done really well until we were out and had a cigarette, I was just disappointed in him, simply because of his health, and he swore blind he wouldn't do it again, only for half an hour later, he did the same, and a third time in the night. Also he just lies to me about it. I care about his health, but it seems he doesn't even respect me enough to be truthful to me. He treats me like I'm a child and I'm just getting sick of it. what should i do.

my dad has always chosen both my bro and sis over me. He trusted them for everything. They asked money like lots of money and he gave it to them until we finally had to sell everything we have. Now, everything has changed. I have to work my butt of to get a scholarship to study because dad can not afford it. He said that I am a victim of a situation that he trusted my bro and sis too much but disregarded me. Now, my bro and sis totally ignore him and my mom. My sis still want to help but with those money she has, she only help my parents only 0.1% . My bro and sis only have a year gap between them but both have more than 5 yrs gap in age with me. They both are helping each other but none of them helping me. My dad always said that I shouldnt worry bout things thats why I need to let the time help me or something like that but I need the problem to be solved now because my situation is about to stay or leave this country, while my siblings are successful people here. What should I do

So, my bro has destroyed not only my parents retirement life but also my future. He lied to my dad one time to have him sign a power attorney, so that he could take over my dad's money. My dad has helped him buying a house, buy a car from VW Jetta '96 to an Audi A6 '00. He used all my dad's money. He took the money that my dad gave me to buy a car and he lied to me by saying that the money from him and his wife. It was $6k. My bro bought me this $2k worth of car and kept the rest. He also did not want to put my name on the title of the car instead he put his but when there is somethings wrong with the car, he doesnt want to help me. Now I need the rest of the money that he has to complete my study, so I can graduate but everytime I told my dad, my dad would say that the more I want to fight for the money, the more he would upset to me. I can not forgive my bro because my mom is sick and he doesnt even help a bit. He also told me that I should forget about the money.

My stepdaughter is 14 and doesn't get along well with her mother. There isn't joint custody between both parents, but she is thinking that she would like to live with her dad in another state, and visit mom when she has time for her. But mom says no way, at what age in Indiana can she choose, and how does the process go? Any info would be great. Thank you.

I had to tell my mom to back off again and she keeps saying she is acting perfectly normal. So my question is...

-Is it normal to believe that your daughter is going to hell and will have consequences for how she is raising her kids AND expect that daughter will let you be close to her grandkids anyway?

-Is it normal to NOT hear your daughter's 'stop it' or 'no' until she is 'rude' and makes an ultimatium.. 'you make plans with my kids without asking me again and I will take the phone away'. Finally hearing the boundry, the mother responds in a wounded manner?

-Is it normal for a mother to want you to make choices that would make HER happy, assuming that would make you happy too... even though you tell her you are happy now?

My mother is so certain that I am rude and hurtful and she is acting normal (even though I have told her 'stop, you are pushing me away!') Is she right, is she acting normal?

I am 21 years old and have been married two years. We are expecting our first son in August. I did not meet my dad until I was 18 and my parents hate each other. My dad was at my wedding and mom did not attend due to their problems which was heartbreaking for me. When my dad found out I was pregnant he stated he and my mom could not be there at the same time (of course) and he thinks he should be there at birth and I should lie to her and state I went into labor in the middle of the night and have my mom come the next day. Heres a twist my mom has been sick for a few years and a couple weeks ago was givin six months to live. I feel like I am being torn in two many directions and I am at my end. I honestly do not know what to do. Am really obligated to anyone? In my head my dad was at the wedding so my mom should be there for the able to be at the birth especially now she does not have long with the baby. What is your opionion on the RIGHT thing to do. Im so confused. Thanks!
