Family - April 2007

Okay, so my grandma has been living with us for almost ten years now, ever since my grandpa died. In the last couple of years, she's gotten alzheimer's, and can barely even get out of bed by herself. Someone has to get her up, feed her, clean her, dress her, etc. And since my mom works most of the time, its automatically my responsibility. I'm 18, and I like staying away from home sometimes. Well, sometimes, I need to get away. And I rarely do get out at all. But, everytime I try, my parents call saying they need me at home to help with my grandma. So, I feel guilty and come home. But when I am home, all they can do is tell me I could be doing more than I already am. My mom has told me she doesn't just want me here so I can work, but I always feel that way. It feels like they're using me...What do you think?

I mean, they don't, right? That would be gross. Tell me girls don't poop.

Also, girls do frequently have down pillow fights in their underwear, right? RIGHT?

Heres the Deal-My grandpa is 81 and he lives with me and my sister and mom and dad in my house.So,My Grandpa's doctor said he has blood clots which were reversable with Lovinox shots,and a blood thinner pill.So we got that straightened out,but the side affects of Lovinox is that you get really weak.So Me and my mom,sister,and dad,usually go to church every sunday,but we just stopped because the flu went through my church,and so one of the deacons of the church came over,and we told the pastor to tell them NOT To come back over to our house,because my grandpa's immune system is not able to fight off viruses yet,so then they keep comming back over,and in my observations,thats called "House Touring",because they always want to come in,and we are NOT that type of family who is like "Oh Yeah,Please,Do Come in".Thats just Not us.So,What and how would be a polite way to tell them NOT TO COME Back?We also do plan to go back to chuch sometime this April or May.

My mother in law refuses to tell her family or her husband's family about me or my son because she said she's ashamed to tell them that her son married someone that she didn't approve of. She said she's afraid that her family will "scold" her for being a bad mother. My son is a year and a half old and none of his family on his father's side knows that he even exists. Her family is talking about who they can find for my husband to marry, and she still wont tell them because she doesn't want to "break their hearts".
I've tried explaining to her and my father in law that doing this is eventually going to hurt my son very badly and they need to be proud of him no matter what they think of me, but they don't care and still refuse.
What should I do? What would you do in a situation like this?

I am stepmom to a wonderful little boy, aged 7, with mild cerebral palsy. It was told to his father and I by his physician the following two things: He must wear his orthotic brace everyday so that he may eventually get better and not need to wear it any longer as an adolescent. We were also told something similar regarding his glasses - that if he wears them everyday all day - his vision may correct itself. The child's mother and primary caretaker has also been told these things, but she refuses to make the child wear either the brace or his glasses. We recently confronted her about these issues in a non-threatening way, and she was still extremely defensive and denied everything. The child's grandparents and school teachers have all said something to the mother, but nothing has been done. I don't want to get into a nasty family fight, but I care deeply about this child's well being and I would like to help anyway I can. Is there anything to be done to make her be a PARENT?

I am looking for a website that helps people like me. I was not taught very many life skills growing up. I have learned more raising a young family, but I often feel inadequete. I am not very good at the "correct" way of doing laundry, folding fitted mattresses, and have limited recipes in which I can master. Is there a housewife-in-training site? As ridiculous as that sounds, there has got to be something out there run by the truly knowledgable "grandmothers" of the day. Can you help?

OK, I come from divorced parents so the real problem started about 19 yrs ago. I grew up with my dad in HOUSTON, TX. My mom, in SAN ANTONIO, TX, opened an income tax business and asked me to "help" her out. I agreed to move 3 hrs away (into my own apt) to help her out; i thought it would be a good oportunity to get to know her and spend more time with her. I started off working 60+hrs/wk with no lunch hr. I am responsible for answering every call, attending every person that comes in, all the paperwork, i do EVERYTHING basically except clean and pay rent for the office, and shes hardly ever here. My checks arent that bad but when you break them down by hour, its not worth it. And I have a son and husband that i hardly spend time with. I do extra around here and all she does is complain to me about the things that go wrong. I dont want to quit on my mom but she doesnt give me any reason not to... she IS MY MOM and she has done a lot for me.. other than work we get along well.

No one in the world, including Tobey Maguire, knows what it is like to be raised by a bully father and a mother who is not only a monster-in-law, but wants nothing at all to do with you as well. My mother says that I am an embarrassment to the entire world, and she also says a ton of hurtful things to me. In my 33 going on 34 years of living on Earth, my mother has done the following:

1. In the summer of 1984, she blamed me for hiring a heavyset white man to be my Bus Camp Counselor.

2. In Halloween of 1986, she and I had an argument over a boy because he was white.

3. In the fall of 1988, she said, "You fit it perfectly, Louise. You and your white boyfriend."

4. In the summer of 2004, she said, "He's in his world, and I'm in my world." When she said that, it involved Tobey Maguire.

That is why I don't want anyone in the world, including Tobey Maguire and his daughter, to get hurt because of my family and most of all, me, the main embarrassment of the world.

My father and i has never really got along every since I was 7 when he spat in my face from taking up for my mother. Right now he is in jail and my mother wanted me to write a letter for him to make parole and i told her no for the simple fact everytime i see him it brings hate and anger all over me again of everything he has ever done to our family. Ex: having no christmas presents on X-mas morning cause he stole the car my moms credit cards, jewelry and made her go bankrupt. Also never being their when all 6 of us were born. Always on the street doing drugs and in crack houses. He also told my mother and my sisters to lie so he couldn't be sent back to jail, when he choked me and when i was running for dear life when i thought he was gonna kill me. I got sent away when i was 17. I'm now 20 and living on my own. He tries so hard by writing me letters but I don't respond. I just don't like being around him for what he's done and what he's capable of doing. What should I do?

Im just wondering if I can get other people's input on what to do. This happens to me every time that there is a big holiday (ie Christmas, Thanksgiving) and now that Easter is here, well here we go again. My parents have been divorced for almost 10 years and are not on speaking terms with eachother. Both my mom and dad have large families and usually I try to see both sides on the holidays. The problem is my dad's family doesnt seem to think it is important to plan ahead. So, three weeks ago my mom told me where Easter was going to be with her family and what time it was going to be at. I called my dad right after talking to her asking if they had any idea about Easter so I could try to make plans. My dad just got back to me yesterday and let me know that Easter will be at noon and at an aunt's house that lives about an hour away from the rest of my father's family. To make matters worse I am in a serious relationship and I am close to his parents too. I would like to spend

For example, it's important for parents to be there for a child's important events such as school plays and dance recitals but, in THE SIXTH SENSE, the kid's mother works 2 jobs and misses his performances in school plays. She also weeps when he tells her that her mother did see her dance recital. The poor kid has to settle for Bruce Willis watching his school plays.
