Family - April 2007

I'm turning 26 in two weeks. I have a highly successful job with great income and I have decided that I definately need my own space. I have had surges within the last 5 years where I felt I needed to move out already. But was still in school and wasn't ready financially. Now I'm super excited but I can't help feeling guilty because they are amazing parents. Although I think what has detained me is also a feeling of insecurity. Sometimes I feel as though I can't survive on my own (or they have lightly hinted as much). I know it sounds ridiculous but sometimes the guilt sets in and I wonder if it's true. Does everyone go through that? I mean it's not like I'm getting married or going to school somewhere or moving for a job I'm just doing it because I think and feel it's time. But then the guilt sets in and I wonder if I am truly ready.

She can call me, my other sisters and brothers, but we cant call her because her cellular number is restricted. She does this on purpose because she says people upset her and she cannot handle phone calls. My older sister will not even accept a call if it is restricted because she knows its her.
I put up with it, but today was the last straw. Should I just cut her off and change my number?

my moms boyfriend is ordering me around like a dog. i want to know if there is any legal action i can take, or a link to a website showing my rights, as well as showing him he is not my father and for once and for all he is not the boss of me. him and my mom live together and most likely sleep together, and i just absolutely hate him, for he acts like a big baby and pouts for hours at a time if he doesn't get his way.

I am grown with a two year old daughter of my own. I live about 2 days drive away from my mom for a reason. She has six children. I am in the middle. She seems to have a better realtionship with the baby of the family. When I talk to her all she does is talk about her. She is graduation from law school in may and it is all she goes on about.

I have not talked to her for periods of time. I am trying to find the happy medium of having a relationship with her that I can share my life and her grandchild and not deal too much with all the crap any ideas?

My mother issued this rule where I must study/do homework for two full hours. This really gets on my nerves, as I study plenty while I'm staying after school (I usually spend a full hour out of the three that I spend after school). So basically, this leaves me with very little time to relax and stuff (I come home sort of late from school).

I mangaged to slide away from the rule by using small excuses. But I don't think they're going to work for very long. Don't call me lazy or anything, but does anybody know a way to get rid of this annoyance once and for all?

Hey,
recently during a conversation with a girl friend of mine, who is a mother of a 16yr old and who works and she is also 32yrs old...informed me she could never be an at home mom, because she is "too business driven", I kinda chuckled and responded to her with, well why would you think I am not business driven, just because I care for my kids, and husband? lol...actually it was eye opening..I have worked and stayed home my kids are 6yr, and 4yrs. I just was surprised...The question is are at home moms' not driven or dont we provide a need, that alot of people consider priceless? Any thoughts!??
Thanks.

My girlfriend and I have been together for a little over a year. She's about three months pregnant and we've been trying to figure out where to live. We practically live together the way it is but she lives in a really little apt. She has a prob. with even staying at my house so I always stay there. She has been living with her bf/ cousin for as long as i've known here. I own a 3 bed. mobile home about 20 miles away. She dosnt want to move in with me because its too far away from her home town. It's a 15-20 min. drive from where she's living now. Insted she wants me to either sell my trailer or move it closer to where she lives. The point of living together would be to save money expecially before the baby comes. It would costs over $2,000 to move it. The reason why I got the trailer is because I was sick of renting. But now she's talking about looking at apt. closer to her home town. Her cousin is also gonna live with us untill baby gets here I guess. I cant get through to her. HELP!

Help, I am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old and a 1 year old and I feel like my husband thinks I'm lazy. Recently during fights he throws the fact that I "don't have a job" in my face!!
Over 3 months ago I offered to go back to work and take our kids to daycare, he immeadiately (*without any thought) told me that I should stay home until our youngest is at least 1 year old (his birthday is in 1 month.)
I am happy to go back to work but I would rather stay home. I have issues with daycare.I don't want to go back to work just because he thinks I'm lazy. We are ok for money, I can't help feeling completely unappreciated.
He chips in around the house plenty.
Should I just accept that since he isn't home to see it he can't appreciate all the things I do?
Also, he loves to sleep in on his days off, is there anyway to get hime to offer to let me sleep in once in a great while?

Been dating a really sweet guy. He's 43, smart, a bit immature. Admittedly pretty dense.Say he 'doesn't get women', or many things.
He leaves out pertinent facts about situations; letting me assume he's going home, then doesn't. When I found out he says that's not lying, but then apologizes.That leaves me wondering; mistrustful.
His roommate hit on me in a crude way. Bf didn't think it was a big deal, still wants to hang out with him.

He is helping his ex live-in of last yr.Says they weren't bf/gf she needed a place to stay, but were intimate.
He's taken care of her dog for 2 mos.now, they talk on the phone. They had lunch last week! He 'stated' it to me after the fact. That's it. Left it to me to ask anything further. I did much later and he felt 'cornered'
Expects we'll hang out with her at a weekly event the 'gang' goes to.We did; they were huggy/kissy, but he was to me too.
Leaning toward ending it. I'd like to stay friends since I'll be around him there.
I need words!

I was just curious as I felt that I have hurt my mother feelings on several occasions and have put her down and made her feel bad. I am unsure why I may have done so... but was curious about whether this made me an abuser? (Age 14-16 at the time)
If a male, son of 19 was to have hit/mentally targetted his mother/father, I would have counted that as domestic abuse.

Arguments have ended in mental/physical violence occuring within my family, but where does the line separate disaplining a child and abusing a child?

Where is the line?

My mother doesn't want to send birthday cards and cash to my older kids. She has been doing it for 18, and 22 years for my kids and my sisters kids. She puts $40 or $50 in the card. She says it has to end sometime, and how long should she do it. She is mad at my sisters kids. She doesnt approve of the way they are living, like with their boyfriends, without being married. So, she doesnt want to send them cards or money, so I told her she couldn't send my kids any either. The other 2 sets of grandparents still send cards, with money in them, and I think it will hurt my kids feelings, if they don't at least get a card from my mother. Two of the grandparents are only step grandparents, and they want to sent cards to my kids! My Mom seems selfish, and judgemental to me. My son and Daughter are good to her, and they are going to get hurt , just because my mom doesn't like or is mad at the other grandkids!

Am I overeacting? Am I right? Or is my mother right?

Okay, I’ve asked this question before. But I’ll recap, a child I know was being raped by his father. And his mother was allowing this to happen, to suck money from the father. Long story short, they moved to Houston after hurricane Katrina, and the father comes to visit off and on.
Now they’re living in two places. They go down there trying to rebuild their home. Thing is I don’t have an address in New Orleans. I only have the Houston address, what can I do? Because they do live in both locations off and on.
I have insomnia every night worrying about his well being. And when I do fall asleep I have horrible nightmares.
My question is, simple which police department do I report it to? NOPD or HPD?
Also, does anyone know if I can do an on-line search to find a current address. This secret is destroying me slowly. Please, any help or advice I will be forever grateful.
