I think my husband is tough on our children, ages 5, 2, and 4 1/2 months. He nitpicks at almost everything that the older two do wrong. If our oldest does something that we have told her not to do he won't let it down and then always goes into lecture mode. She is a really good kid and I think that every kid slips up and that the same lecture gets old after the 4th or 5th time in one week at least it does for me. Everytime they throw fits instantly he reacts and puts them in time out or takes something away from them without finding out the problem that is making them throw a fit . Our oldest is in preschool, and when she comes home talking about what she learned or did that day, he never seems interested. He makes the money and I take care of the kids all day. He feels that I do all the decision making when it comes to the children, but I find myself always protecting their feeling. He isn't really mean, just a little tough.

My step dad is a doctor, extremely rich. Our relationship, not so rich. Our communication is severley lacking. We are on good terms, but just there is no content in our relationship. We are polite and respectful, not much beyond that. I have overheard him talking to my mother about the will. He has already planned it out, giving his money to my 3 half brothers, his blood children. And, I am not hurt in a greedy sense, but hurt because I feel so rejected. I help out constantly around the house, always babysitting, being a good person. Am I totaly wrong to assume i should be in the will?I just dont know

I've a sister-in-law that likes to gossip/report to the eldest sis-in-law (who is not staying together with her) on how other family members doing/saying something to hurt/push her around. In fact, she's the one always shouting at her husband, kids and maid loudly at home, sometimes around 2 to 4am. Her maid can only take her dinner at 11pm to 12 midnight. I was staying in the same house for many years before she was married to my brother-in-law, but ever since with her presence, she started her motive to create crisis to get everyone out from my in-law's house. Currently juz left them alone in that house. Not sure what's her next action and also do not know how to inform the eldest sis-in-law to be careful of her? She is having high jealousy, really do not know how to deal with her?

When we are alone he says the worst things. I told my parents about this. They tell him to stop, and that he is going to get into a lot of trouble if they hear him cussing. THe problem is, they never hear him. Also, my parents aren't aware of a lot of cuss words. WHen I tell on him to my mom, she asks me to repeat the word he said. I really despise cussing, and would never say one of those foul words. My brother always knows when I have a tape recorder hidden behind my back or something. Furthermore, I believe he either is trying to be cool in front of his friends, or he is teaching his friends cuss words. One time a couple of his friends came over. I walked by his room and heard my bro go " what the ****" his friends joined in with some more biggies. Some things he says are " what the **** you ***** **** *** you bastard" they don't really make sense. he just tries to have as many words in 1 phrase. What can i do to get him to stop?

My sister in law is getting married on 08' Since she is planning now she and her man has said they do not want kids to attend the wedding or the after party. Which I know is understandable and her choose. My husband and I have a baby and another on the way.By her wedding they will be 2 and almost 1. Now my question is why should I go if my kids her nephew and niece are not welcome? I know it's her day. But she has called us before and asked us to come to a party and asked us if there is "someone who can watch the kid". I am mad because I didn't have kids for someone else to be watching when ever she wants us too. And I only let his parents watch our son. But they will be at the wedding. Is it wrong for me to say if the kids can't come we are not going to attend? (My husband and I are in agreement on this) But I would like to know how I can also tell her how we feel when she says things like this to us.

My parents have recently punished me for "disappointing" grades". Grade 6-8 no marks were under a B (in fact my report card contained ~90% A- to A+). Grade 9 my final average was 89% (with courses that I was forced to take bringing that down). In grade 10 my average went down to 87%. Now I'm sitting on an 83% average in my second term in grade 11, with 50% of my marks still to be gained (reporting is cumulative). I am in the 94th percentile on the PSAT's without studying and I am sure that my only problem is my inconsistency and lack of interest (I am getting 90%+ in the classes that interest me) in the subjects I am learning, and my parents and teachers all confirmed this. Do you think that their punishment (consisting of: no computer, no TV, no going out; pretty much not having fun of any sort; all to be replaced with intensive studying) is fair? Please give me some advice! Oh, and I didn't mention they were Eastern European (Romanian).

Thank you for taking the time to read my story

How do you cope with out a father for 13 years? I'm older than that but he lelt early. Like I said, I don't know how to feel... I love him (not sure why) but hate him for what he's done to my whole family. One minuet he'll be regular the next I'll write him and he'll make me feel like a piece of crap. The funny thing is I haven't seen him face to face for 13 or more years and we both live in the same small town. I love him but want to cuss him out. What should I do to make these feelings of worthlessness and pain go away? I don't want to turn to drugs and alchohol (his way of things) but I feel like I'm starting to slip. And another question...Am I the only one?

okay, he's 56,bi-polar-not medicated and an alcoholic. he refuses to take any meds and admit to any "issues" he has.he can get very mean with his wife. mean is an understatement. he hit his first wife,i don't know about the current wife. he recently started remodeling a house that they plan on living in so the stress level is dangerously high. my sister in law has called and e-mailed me many times and told me about his behavior. i don't mind being a sounding board. i don't think she has anyone else to talk to(no family)and everyone needs to vent. and my bro really is an *sshole. i don't know if there is anything else i can or should do for her. i can't really advise her, i don't think it's my place. is there anything else i can do? say? thanks

I was wondering if anyone out there understood all the things about divorce associated with child support. I have 3 kids of which my x has custody- I told my lawyer I didnt want to see the kids at all- do I still have to pay child support if I no longer recognize them as mine? Is there a way to legally disown your children-Im not real sure they are mine at this point.

I admit I spent more time on the couch drinking than I did playing with my boy whom now is 12. I did still go out and play catch with him lots and watched all his sport games cheering from the sidelines. I went to all his school events, volunteered as a room mom etc.My husband divorced me because of my alcohol abuse. I am in treatment now. I call my son and his step mon says he does not want to talk to me then continues to hurl insults in such a cruel way. She even had my 83 year old dad that I live with because of his alzheimers crying!I have tried to reason with her through my tears that we need to talk and she just yells louder. I pray my boy is not able to hear her. Legally I have my boy on wednesdays plus my share of the holidays.Since to Christmases ago I have not seen my son. People tell me to get a lawyer but I have always been to emotional to stop my crying. I don't want my son seeing this mess.I write my son every week or so with no response. My x says he does receive them

okay so, recently my grades in school have been slipping, but i actually tried hard, but school is getting tougher at my age. i actually do feel really stressed out...like seriously. they're threatening to take away my phone, but having my phone isnt even the problem. its not like i talk on it for hours everyday. i use it mainly to call them to tell them im staying after school for some activity. as matter of fact, i have 1000 minutes a month and i only use about 30 minutes...i dont even enjoy talking on the phone. but still, what if there's an emergency. what am i gonna do? ive actually needed my phone for emergencies before....my phone even has my alarm clock which wakes me up 6 o'clock every morning...i would get an online alarm, but those make my heart beat really fast and i heard that's not good, so im trying not to use those...and being late to class deducts points from my grade. so what do i say to them to convince them to let me keep my phone????

The thing I go to school and work from 8-5pm my daughter's father picks our daughter up at 1:00pm from catholic school and takes her to my place I give him the key because he lives 20 miles out of town. He likes to stay with our daughter at my place since its her home. He then locks my door meets me and hands me my keys and goes to work at 5pm in the same town, does this sound weird do you think he is taking advantage of my home? We are really good friends and can talk civil I don't like him he has cheated numerous of times in the past so there is no relationship between us nomore.
