Family - March 2007

Hi, I am pretty college student. I have never been drunk, slept over at a friend's place, done pot, party or any of that stuff -no college wild life for me.
Customarily, I call my mom every 24 hours to see how she is doing and let her know how I am doing -although she is a little bit skeptic about my decision. For some reason, this morning my roomate woke me up saying that my mom called. As I picked the phone, she told me that she called the police and was crying out loud saying that I am irresponsible because the last time I called was at 3 pm (she called me at 12 pm next day). Now, she knows I am on finals and that I was planning on studying. This is the 10th time this happens, but this time she called the police! So now my question is. Should I, (1) change and call her even more often or (2) she is just going overboard with her worries? Choose (1) or (2), comments are appreciated!

I have enough money to get a go phone from walmart and i really really want a cell phone..I told my mom that it is a pre-paid phone and so she wouldnt have to worry about a bill or anything..but she doesnt think i would have enough money to keep up on paying for minutes..and she says ''tell me some good reasons why you should get it and then i will say yes'' and ever ason i give her is not a good enough reason...so what should i do to convince her that i should be able to get one??

who was very busy and needed the help.i have a college degree, very computer savvy and in just a few weeks i learned how to do everything his secretary can do.i also became a cargo adjuster for my dad.he does not pay me any more for the extra work that i do. His secretary is in her 60s and is completely retarded when it comes to computers.i have taken my dads company from a paper to paperless office and the place can not run with out me.i have a year old son that comes with me to work two days a week.on the days that my son is with me i leave a little early so i can get him home, fed, bathed ect.His secretary has started to complain about me leaving early and my dad has started to yell at me 4 it.4 the last 2 weeks she has been over an hour late and i have not said anything the way i see it, she gets paid more, does not do half of the stuff i do, gets two weeks of vacation (i don't get vacation) and i think leaving early makes up for all that. Do you think?

Long story short yesterday 2 guys put a gun up to my father's head and made him let them into our house. So when they came in they threatened to kill my brother unless he gave him his car keys and money. They made me, my 2 brothers, my parents, and my baby niece and nephew sit in my brothers' room until he gave up the stuff. One of the guys even pointed the gun at my baby nephew whose only 3 years old. After my brother handed over the stuff one of the guys got mad and wanted to kill my brother. After everybody started yelling they didn't and they ran out of the house. Now we're really moving next month and for the time being I feel weird in the house. I don't even wanna be on the porch, let alone by the outside door. What can I do to make myself feel more safe? I'm only 14

I recently overheard my mother in-law tell my husband that I am a half-brain. She is upset with some decisions that we made recently and she feels that it is my husband's way of acting out and wanting attention. I supported my husband's feelings and because of this she told him that I am a half-brain, etc. The thing is, there is a family dinner coming up. I get along well with my husband's brothers and sisters. I just don't know how to handle the mother in-law at this dinner. Any advice? Before this, she and I got along fairly well.

My Daddy is my hero! I love him, he means the world to me and I don't want to ever lose him (as I'm sure no one else would want to lose their Daddy). However, my Daddy has been smoking since he was in his teens. We (as a family) have tried everything to help him... pills, patches, classes, encouragement, lecturing...even grounding!! None of it seems to work. I know he can do it and I'm willing to be there ever step of the way...we all are! For some reason though he can't stop. It pains me to see a man who is normally so strong willed, to be dominated by a cigarette. I know if it were me in his position he'd be there ever step of the way for me, pushing me to do the right thing and give up, however, I'm not in his position and I certainly can't give up smoking for him....please help I'm not normally the sort of person who turns for help on the internet but I'm not sure what else I can do! I don't just want him to live to see my wedding, I want him to live to see children!

My mama is 48 (I'm 20) and she's in horrible shape. I truly worry about her and her health. My boyfriend is even concerned! When she and daddy got married she was tiny weighing in at 110 lbs. After my birth a year later, she let herself go and instead of getting rid of the baby fat, she just gained more weight. Ten years later she had my brother which didn't help. When I was 15 she had gotten down to a healthy weight and looked incredible. She even had a glow about her. I don't know what happened but she soon let herself go again. I'd always been concerned but it wasn't until she had a mini-stroke last year that I became DEEPLY concerned. She's constantly telling me how proud she is of me because I quit smoking at the beginning of the year (she's been smoking since age 14) and I've begun working out and eating healthier (she has adds a ton of salt to everything). When I tell her to work out with me and quit smoking herself, she tells me she's too old. How do I get her to get in shape?

I didn't tell my parents about a student holiday comin up because they make me do a lot of chores everytime I stay home(EVEN WHEN I HAD THE PHEMONIA) so I told them I was going to school tomorrow. I get home around 4 o clock but my dad gets home somwhere around 1 to 6 so should I hide somewhere from him or should I just say suprize when he walks in the door and act like I just found out about it in the morning and I wanted to suprize him?

My parents are mad at me for the stupidest thing - taking a bus. They say I've 'spiraled out of control and that they need to reign me in before I get really bad'. I don't understand this response, because I've never done anything bad before in my life! I'm so confused.... so please, parents, tell me what I did wrong, and tell me how to make things better.

I live 250 miles away from her and she rings me every day and expects to chat for an hour. I'm in my final term of uni and just haven't got time to talk every night. Plus I'm 27 years old!!
She always asks me exactly the same questions - have I got my essays back (not that there are any due back), are the locals friendly (I've now lived up here for 4 years), etc etc. And worse still she keeps nagging me about whether I'm going back down south to live, knowing full well that I bought a house up here 2 years ago, and when I'm coming to visit, although I try and get down to see her at least every month

I know she's old and I try to be tolerant - I do love her to bits, but she's driving me nuts! Any suggestions?!

I'm wondering if when couples decide to have children, they think about what will happen if they split and step parents come into the picture.

I am really not liked by the biological Mom. But partly, my attitude is - well - I wouldn't be around if you hadn't left your kid's Dad when she was only one year old (I came into the picture a year later).

Are you a parent who has a step parent in your child's life who you don't care for - and don't want around your children? If so - did you ever consider that this scenario could happen before you split - and how much baring did it have on your decision?

Well I will ask for advice and I dont want rude answers either. This is a huge problem. Yesterday morning about 7 am I went to the store and came back home to find my fiancee and my 3 year old daughter both tied up and gagged on the floor. My fiancee was half naked. They both were shook up and when my fiancee came round she told me two men broke in and robbed us. They stole several things and held down my fiancee and raped her. They also cut my daughter on her little legs and she is till sore but thankfully they did not rape her. The police ran tests and are investigating. Thankfully the hospital says she is not pregnant and has not contacted anything but all of us are shook up. My fiancee was so scared last night she slept in the bed with me (since we are not yet married we dont sleep together) and my daughter had to take a dose of medicine to sleep. But I would appriacate any advice how to help my shaken family? Please dont recommend the police they are already investigating.

3 hours ago I posted a question pertaining to the site myspaceforteens which I made for my 3 teens so I can keep a eye on them while chatting with there friends, my question to the community was is there anything else I may do to make it even safer(I put password protected password chatroom on the site for that reason) I got 7 good answers (all positive except one) who promptly states "I DONT CARE IF YOUR KIDS ARE SAFER. I HAVE ALREADY REPORT YOU TO MYSPACE AND WHEN THEY FIND OUT THERE GOES YOUR KIDS SAFETY AND YOUR 5 MONTHS OF WORK ." Well I do not have ONE MONEY GENERATING AD on that site and do not make ONE PENNY off that site I have spent $3K so I can keep a eye on my kids (my teens friend recently meet up with a stalker because of this issue) and is what promted me to do this. How can someone have the nerve to not only be critical of a father protecting his kids but also have the nerve to shut down my hard work and my kids own site? My kids are devasted there site might be gone.

I was just wondering how many parents think that children should help with the house work. I have four ages 8, 10, 14, and 18. None of them think they should help with anything around the house. I don't agree with this. Having a family of four is alot of work, especially when im the only one doing everything, even the garbage, yard work etc. My husband drives a truck long haul, so he is rarely home. Thanks in advance for any advice.

My mom passed away. She was homeless(don't get it twisted, we tried to help but you can't make your mom do anything she does not want). Iwas adopted and did not know her until 12 years ago. At the time I was 17. I was growing into my own and we clashed a lot. But towards the end(last 6 yrs or so) we've been real cool. She loved being a grandma and my 5 yr old loved her. Being on skid row was dangerous and dirty but she survived from when she was 14. (some family stuff I don't want to know about) She was 52. She also battled alcohol and drugs. What really bothered me was that she tried to contact us and through circumstances(someone forgot to give the message) she passed away in the hospital with no family. I think my stepdad was there but we can't find him. Last we heard he just walked off into the vastness of downtown L.A. and disappeared. I really worried about him too. They were really close. I have an 17yr old brother that they made together. Just sad and need real friends. Bye
