Family - May 2007

How do I tell my son to stop having kids? He has 26, nearly all with different women. He's a good father and all, but sometimes enough's enough.

Hi, I'm like 15, but I will be 16 soon (this summer). I felt like I was going to burst, I was suffocating at home. Some times I want to run back home to my parents & other times I get so angry thinking about them that I make my mind up all over again not to. My mom and dad say they love me, but I often don't beleive them when they say it. I have had a lot of blow outs with my parents (they keeping telling me what I'm to do and not to do- I'm so tired it) . * If * I move back home, not sure, how would I go about it, I'm just so angry with them and like... I guess I'm hurting inside. Should I bide my time until I'm 16 and then stay moved out? I don't want to move back in and then feel like I'm going to burst all over again, so how do I deal with my parents so *maybe* we can be a family again? Frankly, I don't think I could move back, I'm just so... ur... umm... upset with them. Please feel free to e-mail me mady3571@yahoo.ca

My family isnt very nice and I just want to cut them off completely. I barely speak to them anyway. They just cause me so much grief. I am so much happier not dealing with them. How do I say it and be heard?

i signed up for choir just to have a breather away from my mom and because singing makes me relax. my mom signed up with me. at first i didnt mind but her reason of signing up with me, was to watch me if i talk to guys or what not. i told her that i`m going to sign up at the gym with my friend and she wants to sign up to watch me if i talk to guys. basically everywhere i go my mom always tags along WHEN i need some air away from her. i go to school and 2 more years til i graduate, i take care of my siblings and pets, i cook and clean the house, i go to work. i cant even go to hangout with my friends bcause my mother doesnt let me. i cant even make my own mistakes or my own decision becuse my mother puts it on my face and keeps a grudge about it. she still does reverse psychology to me to get what she wants. sometimes i even just put what makes me happy aside to do what she wants. im a responsible person so why is she like this to me? im 22 what do i do to get my life the way i planned?

i spyed on my grandma. she took my brothers to her house. grandma never did for me. why hadnt grandma favored me the way she did to the boys? my feelings for grandma turned cold. the women who used to take care of me had turned into a moster. now all i have left is hatred. i heard grandma giving them cookies, telling them stories and giving them snacks. i heard them eating their snacks. those lucky ducks! it made me feel sick inside. i hated seeing them get good things. i didnt even deserve a glance at the good life. i am a stupid nothing to my grandma and im just a pawn in her stupid games. at night, i no longer dreamed. during the day, i no longer thinked. when i woke up, i was no longer refreshed. without my dreams, i felt hopeless. i told myself my grandma does love me, that always made me smile. but deep down, i knew it was a fantasy. whenever i walked outside, a feeling of darkness came over me. it dawned on me that grandma no longer loved me. i felt so rejected. even the sun tried to avoid me. as i spyed i could hear her soothing voice telling them a story. i hated each and everyone of them. it was bad enough hearing her tell them the story. it reminded me of the good grandma i had many years ago. now the boys even refused to let me come. i no longer cared when my brothers made fun of me. my soul became so cold that i hated everything around me. i hated the sound of my brothers laughing and them getting treats from my grandma. my stomach coiled when i heard grandma saying i love you to my brothers knowing it wasnt meant for me. i hated grandma and wish she were dead. but before she died, i wanted her to feel my pain. as i spyed, i imagined i was one of them and i smiled.

My father has terminal cancer- we know he'll be passing soon. (He literally hasn't eaten anything in over a month- I don't know what's kept him hanging on this long.) I'm grown with a family of my own, but I still feel like a child when I think about losing my father. We've always been really close. I'm trying to hold it together for my daughter, but I'm really scared. How do you get through this? I think about having to go through his funeral service- and especially worry about how it's going to feel leaving the cemetery. These are things I never thought I'd worry about. I know people get back to their normal lives after losing someone, but sometimes I wonder how I'm going to do it.

My boyfriend is hitting 30 this year, just got a great job and is doing pretty well in life. I'm really proud of him. We've been dating for 3 years. I'm a few years younger and finishing grad school this year.

Today, at a family picnic his family was joking/playing around and teasing my boyfriend about when he was finally going to propose. It's pretty clear we will get married someday, but he seems to be taking his sweet time in asking. I'll admit, I'm a little antsy about it. I want it to happen, but I don't want to pressure him. So, I don't. But, today his family was doing enough of it for me. I just kept quiet, laughed and added a few quick little neutral comments about it. I surely wasn't going to admit to him, in front of his family, that 'mI waiting.

But, part of me is wondering if the increase in family support/pressure will have any effect of his final decision on when to ask me? We are both very traditional and so are our families.

Ok I'm a 16/m and my younger sister, 12.5 just started wearing trainning bras. I was teasing her and giving her a hard time and she complained to my mom who warned me but I kept teasing her and she eventually started crying and my mom flipped. As a punishment I have to get a bra fitting and wear bras for a month. My mom says that it fits the crime and I will learn something from it.


How do i get out of it? She took away my tv, ipod, and cell phone and said I won't get them back until after the month and that if I'm bad it will be longer.
What other punishments could I suggest that aren't as bad as this?
The fitting is schedualed for wednesday morning so please hurry. I'm nervous about what will happen at the bra shop and stuff my mom won't tell me? Please help!

see I live with mygranmother(she doesn't look like it and shes not that old so i really don't care), and she is the one who takes care of me and does everything for me. Well I'm still in touch with my real mom and stuff(which i call her by her 1st name, Rolonda and i call my grandmother Mama). Well sometimes me and my mom fight, not big or terrible fights just normal everyday parent and child fights. And this time rolonda has decided if i talk back(I really don't consider what i do talking back, and I bet a lot of white parents wouldn't either but hey its stupid black culture), that she is gonna beat me up(well she didn't say that but thats what she meant, she a mean and violent person, she beat her son just because he answed the door to family, and he knew it was them, not some total stranger! so I definitly know thats what she meant! Shes nothing but a mean, witch! One time i put aleo in her other sons hair and she beat me with a extesion cord, in front of our great grandmother.

She is cool and everything but she won't leave me alone sometimes. I count my blessings that I have a normal family but with her hanging out with me so much I get frustrated and need time away from her. I don't want to upset her or be mean to her in anyway.

he's always tossing off at night so I started telling him he'll go to hell and burn for all eternity if he carries on.

My wife says its cruel to tell him that and instead we should tell him he'll just go blind instead.

Who's right my wife or I?

Does anyone know how I could really ignore & distance myself from family. I hardly ever attend family functions & when I do I sit on my own & hardly ever interact with anyone. At home I am on my own mission half the time. Does anyone know how else I could actually distance myself from the family????

In public I deny having any links to them & if I do it is very distant. My boyfriend & I are not yet ready to get married,although he said today 6months from now on average. Which could mean a year

I live with my brother. He announced to me that I should get ready for company this weekend. I guess that means I was supposed to make everything sparkeling and go shopping. Well, I decided NO WAY! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm his maid. She is staying here with her 2 year old for 4 days!!! I'm just up to my head!!

Do you have rules for instances like this? What would you do? Would you even let her stay?

my father cheated on my mother twice for almost their entire shaky long marriage of 30 ys, one with a family friend that lasted 15 ys.
everyone found out about 1.5yrs ago. since then it's been nothin but lawyers & divorce papers, each parent tryin to claim the most $. my mother claims he refuses to pay child support. my father claims he's willing to give w/e money is needed. both parents keep lyin about EVERYTHING. my mom threatens to disown me if i continue to talk& hav a relationship w him. "if you lie to me there will be consequences". i love them both but i dont know what is truth or lies anymore. both hav been amazing parents all my life but divorce& anger has turned them into cold, heartless, untrustworthy ppl.
i havent spoken to my father in several months. he isnt srry& doesnt think he was EVER wrong.says it was justified cuz mom treated him badly. i hate him so much but cant help remembering our happy past. was it all a lie? how do you forgive someone who's not even sorry?

I graduated from high school a week ago and deciding on which University to attend out of state, (University of Nevada, Las Vegas or Portland State University) One of my sisters goes to college in Tennessee and the oldest one is a doctor in Nigeria. My sisters do not want me to leave CO because my mom is diabetes and once I leave she will be on her own. I DON'T want to stay in state or live at home forever. I DON'T get along with my mother, we are consisting fighting. If I stay at home with her much longer, I will either commit suicide or go crazy. But they do not understand this, their augment is that their mom adopted me when nobody wanted me and brought me to the US so I owe her that, but what about what I want or my happiness? My school is already closed so if I do start applying to college in CO, there's no way to send in my transcript, test scores or anything else. I don't want them to blame me if anything happens if i leave cuz i didn't stay. Any advices would be appreciated?

To be with your child every single time u could just play with him/her, you could take him/her to the park, and play whatever sport u want to play. Be the parent that he wants to have, I have kids and I always play and mkae some jokes when they are very sad, sometimes you could tickle ur child when they are mad or talk about the feelings each other , so they could know that parents does solve problems. Don't be so mean and say *NO* to them when they want to do with u . Play and join. Pretend that ur a kid . If u have problems you could just contact me and I will tell u the steps how to be with ur child.

Ok so here's my dilema. We just moved into an upstairs apartment in a really nice neighborhood. I was standing in the kitchen last week and noticed the teenage girl next door changing her clothes with the blinds and windows wide open (and when I say changing, I mean she was standing there completely naked). I thought to myself "Oh geez, she would be so embarrassed if anyone saw her" and I walked away without thinking much about it. A few nights later as I was closing the blinds at night I noticed she was laying on her bed in just her panties. I'm married and have a 9 year old son. This day in age how do you approach this? Igorning it seems dangerous, running the off chance risk of my husband finding himself in legal issues for seeing an underage girl changing, and non-legal issues of my 9 year old watching her change or lounge around in next to nothing. If it were ~my~ teenage daughter, I'd want to know - but I know not all parents are the same.
