Family - March 2007

In my daughter's best friend's family the Grandpa committed suicide Thursday, but this brings the subject up in our household also (kids talk). My mother is diagnosed with a terminal cancer and it won't be long until I have to address this directly with my daughter. She is 6 years old. Recommendations?

I have always close to my son, but he always also wanted to be close to his dad. It finally happened when my son decided he liked golf like his dad did - here is the deal.

It has taken over our lives. That is all they talk and think about when together. Lately I have been laughed at when inquiring about their day at golf, I think they think it is wasting their time explaining (I assume, anyway). I try to engage, but don't think they want me to even be there when they get home from the course. They want to talk their talk and they are just trying to amuse me if they even go on about it... how I feel, anyway.

What now? How do I make it back into their lives as golfers when I'm not one? How do I make it OUR time, not tee time every day?

I am at a crossroads right now and don't know what to do. I just finished getting an associates degree (amounts to nothing) and haven't worked for the past 3 years (my son will be three this year). There is a roof over our head and food in our bellies. Here's the question: Should I start my own business and give it two years to start making a profit or should I work full time (for the first time in my son's life) for two years? The ultimate goal is to have a down payment for a house in a better neighborhood before he starts school. The bigest dilema is should I go for the guaranteed 6 bucks an hour or take the chance on making more from home?

I usually don't butt in no one's relationship...but I'm afraid he's gonna get hurt. He's 19, and she's 24. Has two kids, but her ex-boyfriend took them away from her. She's a golddigger. She rather live off men, and her parents. She sleeps around. She starts trouble, because she has back-up from her brothers, and the friends she hang with are some jealous girls. They started a crazy rumor about my cousin all because they have a crush on him, and he's not with them. petty stuff. He had the nerve to bring her in the house, and she totally disrespected me. I cussed her out like crazy, and he didn't try to stop me. My uncle & aunt raised him better than that, so I don't understand what it is with him dating someone like that. Should I just sit back, and watch him get hurt or try to get them to break up?

I'm gonna have a new sister!!!!!?
Her name is Brittany and she is 13. My parents are taking her in foster care and will prolly adopt her later. I can't wait. We aren't going to share a room though because I already share with my sis Bridget (15). Britt will share with my other sis Jaymee (14). I love her. Despite what she's been through in her life, she's still full of giggles and lights up the room whenever she walks in. Somebody join in my excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know it's not a question. i'm just excited. so here's a question:

Are you excited for me? or
Will you be excited with me?

there you go!!!!

I have never met this girl until recently when she showed up at a public function and announced that she was my sister. I know my father adopted her many years ago when he left my mother and me when I was young . I had never met her. This is the first time seeing her but she seems to know all about me and my family. Should I concider her my sister. It's too late for my father, he has advanced alzheimers. She was kind enough to tell me that much. She is also very bitter and says she always wanted a sister and blamed me for not seeing him and her. I never knew where they lived until now. She said I ruined her life.

Well to start off I hate my life more than anything. Im not emo or cut myself or anything. My mom abuses me. They never let me do anything just go to shcool. I hate my family. The only person I love is my dad. He is the best & he helps me with my problems. I want to kill myself but I know its wrong. I used to be a straight A student but now I have all b's. My teacher says I want the old me back. It makes me feel worse & my mom always says i'm bad. I never go one day without crying myself to sleep & i wish either i died or went to a foster home. What should I do? Foster Home. What would it be like. Please make me feel good....

My ex-husband has been exchanging e-mails with my brother about me and our situation. We have a 14 year old daughter whom he has custody of. My brother lives close to my daughter and ex-husband. I live in another state.

I just called my brother and asked what the e-mails contained. He said that its between the two of us. He had told my cousin some of the information in the e-mails.

I said that I am sorry to have involved you and hung up quickly. He then said that I am probably bipolar and need to see a psychiatrist. He is and takes meds for it.

I got upset because my ex-husband says the same thing to me. (calls me a mental case)

My brother is 6 years younger than me and we have not been close in the last few years. He was trying to keep in touch with my daughter (his niece) and therefore exchanging e-mails with my ex. Now there are more problems...

I feel sad because of his comments....

See for a few years now eversince my parent's were divorced I always had to go to my dad's house and he picked me up to stay for the weekend. But now this year he moved to Las Vegas and just left me here and now comes back and says that I should go to his house again and for a while now I've been ignoring him and not telling him the truth and making up excuses not to go over to his house. But this time for the weekend my friend and I were gonna hang out and go to the mall (etc.) and he says that I have to go to his house and he's gonna pick me up tomorrow morning. I tried telling him that I have other plans but he didn't listen to me at all! Then I told my mom about it and she said "No you're gonna go to your dad's this weekend" it's not fair both of them didn't listen to me and I don't wanna go over to his house cause it's so boring and we do nothing over there and I'd rather hang out with my friends. At least my friends were there for me when I needed them and my own dad wasn't.

Okay. My mom and my sister's father split.

Her father remarries, has a girl.

So, this means that it's my sister's sister.

What relation is that to me, if any?

He's 7. Every night the moaning and groaning starts near bed time. Supposedly aches all over - headache, all over. We brought him to the doctor and everything looks normal. During the day he's playful with his friends and brothers. He did leave school one day complaining of a headache. He claims the aches don't bother him during the day because he's distracted with activities and friends. Anyhow - I can't tell for sure if he's fakin' or really in pain. Any parents ever run into this conundrum?
