Family - May 2007

My aunt gave my husband and I some money to get our car fixed (a lot of money). We didn't ask, she offered. She has it to spare and she insisted that we take it. I want to send her something nice, but something other than just flowers. I don't know about food or jewlery. I want to send her something special and different. Any suggestions???

So my fiance and I are have been together for 2 years and we have set a wedding date 2008. I love his family for the most part, His dad and mom are wonderful to me. But his brother who has been dating the "devil" since high school just got engaged, and they plan on getting married before us! She is seriously the devil, she controls my fiance's brother and won't let him talk 2 me when she is around, She also ruined a family vacation last year by indirectly cussing me out through a bathroom door 4 no reason, ignores me when I am in the same room, wouldn't congradulate my finace and I on our engagement and treats the family like SH*T! but the family tries to just forget things when they need to just put her in her place!I really cant stand her & we all wish he wouldn't marry her.She has been such a horrible person to me.I know she is just super jealous and envious, but that doesn't make it alright for her to treat me like this. Fiance and I want to put her in her place w/o the fam knowing

My family is opposite of the rest of the world. My mother is constantly getting into trouble where I (her youngest child) have to bail her out. I don't hear from her unless she needs or wants something. She is constantly lieing to everyone about even the smallest of things and I am sick of it. Now she wants me to give her $800.00 to pay her rent and she can't tell me what she did with her SSI check. I have the money but it's supposed to be used to pay for my daughters birthday party ( her only grand child). Would I be wrong to tell her "NO" even if i know it means she will be evicted.

They are the typical do gooders but they aren't there when I need them. Then when they are they make it seem like they are sooo helpful. How can I let them know how I feel without hurting their feelings?

My boyfriend & I are expecting a baby boy in July, but lately he hasn’t been much of a boyfriend he half- way stays with me (some of clothes & shoes are at my place). Every since I got pregnant it has been rocky, this is my first child but not his. I thought because of that he would be more understanding about how hormones and mood swings occur, but he wasn’t. Now I hardly see him, and he screens my calls and rarely answers. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not stupid, I can read between the lines I know something is going on. When I do talk to him of course he tells me he loves me… Blah Blah.

I know I can’t stay with him just because we are having a child, but it’s hard for me to imagine my self with anyone but the father of my child. I have family & friends, but I desperately want him to be with me when I have him, and honestly I don’t know if he will, he will probably just say he is busy, like always.

I guess the question is “Ladies does it ever get easier living without the father of your child that you love so much, when you have a constant reminder of him everyday????”

My boyfriend and I are moving soon as we're currently living with his parents while we're in college. His parents are also moving which is why we have to move - they're getting a smaller house and don't have room for us so we're getting an apartment. Well, I keep my family up to date on everything in my life we live 3 hours apart. My biggest issue is the fact that although we are not married and don't plan to be until we're done with college, she's acting like we are. She wants to keep track of his parents' new address, and I don't think she has any right to. She also wants us to invite his parents over for dinner once a month and let them know when so they can come visit once in awhile. I love her but I don't really feel that it's her place to have their address for any reason - or to get to know them over dinner several times either especially since we are college students and it's not like we cook. What should I do? I don't want to upset her but she's pushing her rights.

I am greatly troubled.I love someone & i am loved back.The person is a wonderful person & i am sure that i will be happy for the rest of my life coz not only does he love me he respects and care for me alot.I love my Mom very much also.Now the problem is that this boy is from another religion. My family r dead against Love marriages & if they know that he is from a different religion they would rather have me dead. My mom would want what i want ie is my happiness even if it means that she has to face critisims from everyone. Everyone in my family say that i am selfish.The boy himself knows what i am going thru & he dosent want me to come with him after breaking everyones heart. He says that it is my decision.If i chose him he will forever be with me & take care of me. If i choose my family by marrying someone else He then too will support me in my decision and he will remain my friend for life.I love him and i love my mom too. I just cant choose from them.What do i do....

My mother and I always have this fight.
She says that she is my mother and I should respect her.
I do! But her respect is beyond something I define as respect.
She always uses the "Im your mother phrase".
But her terms of respect is, I should always respect her no matter what, even if she is being a (you know what), that i should just bite my tongue. Not only that, she doesn't listen to the things she doesn't want to hear, even if its the truth. I say this is childish, coming from a 16 year old. Whom my mother is 50.
I just cannot handle it. She makes me so mad to the point that I want to hit her.
And no she isnt the one in the wrong as well.
I'll keep going on until she cries.
Because I live to a code: If you give me respect, in return I will.
Should I do what she wants me to and just be a pushover about it? Or Fight back?
So, I just wanted to ask you a question and as well let it out, telling someone else (Yahoo!Answers.)

Thanks

1) if you don't start acting right, i will beat your little ***.
2) if you don't behave in school they will kick you out.
(she hasn't even started kindergarden yet)
3) or they will send you to reform school.
4) if you don't be quiet so I can sleep, i'm going to get a motel room.
I don't agree with any of these, I just need to know if i'm wrong. should these be said to her?

I am 21 years old. My parents divorced when I was about six. They have never gotten along. I just started speaking to my dad again after almost 8 years of not seeing him - not by my choice, but because he made himself unavailable. He really wants to make up for lost time, but he keeps talking crap about my mom. My mom and I fought when I was a teenager, as most do, but now we are really close and I tell my mom everything. The thing is, my fiance's family is finally going to be in one place at one time (rare!) next month and I want to invite my dad so he can meet his parents. My mom doesn't say anything bad about my dad AT ALL, but I'm concerned my dad might be a jerk and antisocial. The MAIN thing I'm concerned about - if I don't invite my dad to this event, of course he will be invited to our wedding (not for another year or so though, we're having a long engagement) ... I'm sure this is a semi-common problem for kids with divorced parents. How did you deal with it?

My Grandma and Grandad were 81 and had been married for 63 years. My Grandma had an anurism about 8 years ago and had become quite demanding to live with since. We were also told that too much stress or worry could make her have another anurism or stroke.
However, my Grandad become close to one of her friends (who was being very sympathetic) and it grew into something else. He told the family (we are all v v close) he didn't want to spend his last years in misery looking after Gran and was gonna leave and move in with the friend.
The family made it clear we thought that was wrong and that Gran had not long to go anyway and also that it will devistate her.
She had stuck by him with 4 kids, 8 grandkids, 4 greatgrandkids, 2 businesses and 5 affairs and still loved him.
But then against all advice he left and although myself, my mum and a couple of uncles and aunties were there to help her through, she had a stroke and passed away.
I need to find a way to get rid of this resentment.

It seems like his mother likes to search for things to complain about me. First she was upset because he spent most of his time with me intead of being at her beck and call. Then she hated how I would spend my free time in my room(when I was living with her). She constantly talks about me to other family members. So now his extended family doesn't like me. When they haven't even met me! She criticized my room when I lived with her, saying it was a mess just because my bed wasn't made. She never kept up the rest of her house to the standards that she expected me to follow. I am bipolar so she looks down on me because or that and because it has been hard for me to hold down a job. I found a job that I feel I will be able to keep, yet she still thinks I'm not good enough because of my disorder. Also, my tongue is pierced and she has a huge problem with that. How can I get her to back off and let me be?

First, my father is an ahcoholic. Tonight, my 8 year old son had his end of the year program at school. My mother and father came together. I sat next to me father and he reeked of alcohol. I was upset with him and somewhat embarrassed. I am on PTO, a classroom volunteer and am respected at the school. I feel like he should not have come like that. I knew I could not say anything to him because I have learned you cannot reason with an intoxicated person. I should point out that he did not "act" drunk. I knew he was beacuse I know him...he just smelled awful. Anyway, as we were leaving I said to me mom "why did you let him come in that condition?" She said " I did'nt LET him...talk to him." She called me 2 hours later crying and asked me if I knew what it was like to live with an alcoholic and was upset that I "crawled all over her" for asking why she did not say something to him. She hung up on me. I dont understand what I did wrong. Help.

My sister and I were raised together until our parents divorced when I was six. When our parents divorced, I stayed with mom and she got to live with dad. We would see each other frequently, until five or six years ago when my dad and sister moved out of the country. In november my dad died in a car accident and my sister had to move with us again. She is now 17. Recently I have become very attracted to her. I have even seen her naked once when I walked into her bedroom. I don't know how to deal with this because we live in the same house

Her nutritionist said that if she continues what she is doing, she will kill herself; without a doubt. She can't do any normal things, even walking up a flight of stairs is a laborious task for her. Her mother talked her into counseling, but she hasn't improved since. If anything, she has only gotten worse. My friend came over a few weeks ago, and had to leave. The sight of my step sister's bones sticking out was too much for her... even though I warned her how bad it was. Her father asked me not to say anything about it, because it is only going to upset her. He thinks that if he lets her do things on her own than she will get better. She isn't going to make any improvments on her own, and if someone doesn't do something I am scared that she is going to die. Everyone is too afraid that talking to her is going to make things worse, but what else can we do? I think she needs to go to a camp or a place that speacializes in caring for people with eating disorders. But no one will step...

EVERYTHING together,she raised me since i was a little kid, and was always there for me,when i went to school,she would walk with me there.. she would play games with me when i was a little kid.. but then i did bad things to her too like make her cry at times..the doctors would always lie to my family (we only had 5 ppl in our family) they would say she had H. Pylori when she had Gastric Cancer.. we tried finding cures for her.. but none of them worked.. she stayed in bed a lot but like yeah,in the end the doctors gave her bad blood and that gave her blood clots in her leg.. it spread to her heart sooner or later,i went to her on the day she died, she was the last person i saw, she tried telling me something but i couldnt hear, she started breathing strangely and i asked the nurse what was happening but she didnt do anything after half an hour she died..

You see I have been in Boy Scouts for 8 years and I use to enjoy it. However my troop almost does nothing and I haven't really been as enthusiastic as I used to. It's been like this for 4 years now. I have been trying to convince my parents. However they never listen especially my dad who was only in it for a year and then quit. How hypocritical is that. They say that a Eagle Scout award will help me in getting a job later in life. Plus I'm really busy right now and I have to go every monday to Scouts. I'm always real tired and have really no energy to do anything while I'm there. Right now I'm 1st Class and I have a long way to go to Eagle expecially at this pace and only 3 years left. What do I do to convince my parents that I'm too busy and that I don't have enough passion nor energy for Boy Scouts.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

She is driving me crazy, especially since I don't think much of the way she's bringing up her kids, but I keep my mouth shut because it's none of my business. What really drives me up the wall is all the "medical" advice she gives me. She does not agree with the opinions of my daughter's doctor regarding the way he's treating her allergies. She acts as if she were a doctor (which she is not) and offers alternative treatments. She's done horrors to her kids through her "treatments" and I just feel like telling her to shut up and mind her own business. However, I don't want to offend her or upset my husband by having an argument with her. She does not seem to understand my hints that I don't want her advice. What can I do?
