I have employed a caregiver for my Mother for 6 years now and found her personality to be "bully-like in many areas". She always threathens to do something to me legally if I try to fire her etc. She speaks critically to me and insults me often. I put up with it because she is doing a good job with my Mother. Finally on Monday I just go so tired of it and called her daughter to speak to her about her Mother. I was in shock when I heard what she had to say.The daughter told me that the Mother speaks like that all the time . The daughter has not been in contact with the Mother in 17 years. The other daughter /her sister is like her Mother . The Mother tells lots of lies and has an aggressive /insulting /critical nature to her.
I was surprised to hear that the oldest daughter told me she would not even attend her Mother's funeral if I called her and told her to come. WOW!!
What does one do in this situation???

SHe fed you and put a roof over your head and called that parenting. No emotional attachment, nothing else. Now she is a bitter 80 year old woman wondering why her kids don't cater to her every need.

A friend of mine is getting married. He is 36 years of age and his fiance is 28. He has three older children of his own, age 10, 13 and 14. She has one child who is 6 years old. Recently, his fiance's 6 year old called him daddy. He was offended, and stated thatt the 6 year old has a living father ( The 6 year old sees the biological father at least once a month).My friend feels that he should not be called father, because the 6 year old's father is still living (The father lives approximately 80 miles from his son). He wanted my opinion. I think that it is perfectly o.k, for my friend to be called father, because the mother is looking for a true father figure for the child, but I want to know what my friends at yahoo think about this issue.

I have a 21 year old Step Daughter who has recently been in and out of jail. She is a meth user. We have gotten her a sponsor to help her, but she has only contacted her once. She is doing nothing to help herself by getting help or a job. She lays around the house and does not clean up after herself and rarely bathes. She also brings home not so trust worthing people and I have tried to talk to my husband about putting an end to it. And all he says if I don't let her have her friends over she will leave. What do I do? When my son had a problem we sent him on his way. He has learned to get by and live with the mistakes he has made, but my husband finds it alot different because she is a female. Please help me.

My daughter 14 has been acting a little secretive and has been in trouble a couple of times this month for not making her check in time mostly she is a good kid and I havent had much trouble out of her. She has a bag she carries with her everywhere and my husband thinks whatever she is hiding is in the bag and thinks I should look, but I feel this is an invasion of her privacy and unless she really gives me a good reason not to trust her I should not snoop through her things. What do u think and if u think I should snoop would u tell her u want to see whats in the bag or would u look without her knowing

Story is .. got pregnant at 18, so was he. I had the baby at 19, he never worked, was a lazy bum, who always wanted to be playing video games. When my baby was 10 months I got a job, and since then I started being independent and moved out on my own. She is now 7 going on 8, I have been with my fiancee now, for 4 years and we'll be getting married soon. He has been a great father figure to my little one. She loves him and respects him very much. She misses him way more when he leaves even for a couple of days, than her real dad who she wont see for more than 3 months at a time. He is continiously losing his jobs, going to jail (DUI tickets) and I am never able to collect child support from him. I have always taken care of my daughter on my own, and now with the help of my fiancee he's provided a great home for us, we are his family, as much as he is to me and my daughter. He [real dad] now is out of jail (again) and is calling me because he wants to talk to my daughter, but I don’t want to do that. It upsets me that he just wants to come around whenever he wants to and he never has been there financially to deserve that? Should I feel this way? Am I being unreasonable? I have been the one to struggle and been there in every way possible for my baby and he has had it so easy, why should I do anything to make things easier for him?

I wonder if there is a way where I can have him give me full custody of her, or will that automatically happen once I marry? Will he always have a “right” to her as long as he’s on the birth certificate?

To be honest I was a lot happier when he was locked up, that way he wasn’t bothering me or her…. Any advice?

I am 13 yr old girl that lives with her mum, dad and 4 younger sis. My family are Jehovah Witnesses, which is a religion that does not do christmas, birthday's, easter, halween and all that sort of stuff that you like doing. i get presents all around the yr but not at these certain times in the yr, my friends understand this but at times want to now more which sum times gets on my nerves.
It is not only my mum, dad and 4 younger sis that are in this religion it is also my mums mum, dad, older bros, 2 younger bros and 2 younger sis. And my dad's mum and brother. My dads brother is also an important part of my religions conregation.
My dad does not often go to the meetings that our religion has because of work but, also does not like going because my mums mum used to show him of to every 1 because he was also an important part of our religions conregation but now is not a important.
I like going to the conregation because all the people there are so nice but i feel out of place

Whatever doesn't kill him will only make him stronger is that not correct, so if he survives the alcoholic poisioning he will be better for the experience, is that not good parenting?

For me, it was just something I had to do. I didn't like being there but it wasn't so bad. It would definitely be better to be out and do all normal stuff.

I'm 21 and I've been twice but don't plan on going back but who knows what'll happen again.

Being in jail itself wasn't too bad just all the stuff that goes with it - jobs, arguements, family, girlfriend etc. make it worse.

My parents think it i sthe worse thing ever and seem much more worried about it all than me.

we have been together 4 a year and a half, and have a 3 month old daughter. they are my world. i love him, but he's very critical of me and we fight bad sometimes. he wants nothing more than to get married, but i am worried about his motives. right now as an unwed mother i have full custodial rights, and if something were to happen, i take her with me. if we get married, things get nasty in matters of custody. she is my only child and i love her more than life it's self. i couldn't live without her. then again, i love him and want to make him happy and let him know i want to spend the rest of my life with him...

Because I'm the blacksheep in my family, I constantly feel the need to prove to my family that I'm capable of everything they are. Sometimes I feel that this strange obsession controls major decisions of my life, for example, I recently got into 3 different schools, and I wanted to go to Andover in reality, but knowing that Exeter had a reputation as a stricter school, I chose it so that I can "prove myself" to my family.
Should I continue to let this force motivate me?
