My parents watch our children (ages 1 and 3) for us during the weekdays while my wife and I work. We are very grateful to have them around to do this for us and we let them know this quite often. Occasionally they will do things that we consider stepping over the boundry of being a grandparent. For example, my wife and I had been talking about taking the kids to get professional pictures done very soon since my 1 year old has never had any taken. Well today my parents gave us a "wedding anniversary" gift, which was proffessional pictures of our kids that they had done without telling us. My wife and I were a little upset because we were looking forward to taking our son for his first professional pictures ourselves. We didn't say anything because we didn't want to come off as ungrateful for the gift. They've done other things along these lines, like buy them holiday outfits when we feel this is our responsibilty. Are we right to feel a little upset by this, and should we say something?

My husband is starting to really get back into his religion(muslim) and he was talking to me last night and informed me that he doesn't want me wearing shorts around the house anymore cause he thinks it would give our daughter the wrong idea but making her think she can wear them! I don't have a problem with her wearing them at all!I have given in on alot of things and I am starting to wonder if this is every going to end and I know this is silly as far as something like shorts but there as been lots of things: she as no middle name and it was always my dream to have my daughter have my grandma's middle name he didnt like it cause it was not an Islamic name so I gave in, Christmas and Easter I am still Christain but so she wouldn't get confused we don't celebrate it here, the school she attends is an Islamic School and they say the dress code is for the girls head to be covered I don't agree but I went along with it! So, my question is will this every end or do I just put my foot down?

About a month ago, my cousin died of a blood disease he's had for a while. No one in my family has ever died before, not even grandparents. I thought I had dealt with his death somewhat well, but I've found that all of a sudden I'm paranoid beyond belief. I'm so SO scared that someone I love is going to die. It's made me insane how scared I am. . .I want to see a psychiatrist or something, but I don't want my family to think I'm having a breakdown. They think I'm dealing with it well, and I don't want them to think I'm not. Please help.

last summer i didnt have the money to go visit my family in a different state. my mom offered to loan me the money, then my cousin told me he would just give me the money. usually i wouldnt accept it but at that time i took it cause i wasnt doing well financialy. a year later he brings it up (out of nowhere) and tells him that i owe him the money, even though he just gave it to me. i had just finished paying back some money that i "felt" like i owed him (no, it wasnt from another loan). when i calmly explained to him that he told me i didnt have to pay him back (the way he asked me for it was totally inappropriate/rude). after that he told me that i was a liar, i was worthless, and he didnt want to know me anymore. then he mentioned small things that he bought in the past (we take turns picking up tabs, etc..) we havent talked in about 2 weeks. then he sends me an e-mail telling me that i still owe him the money and that he wants/needs it. what would you do in this situation?

My husband and I just got married and will live with his mom for a while (6 months up to a year) until we get our own place. Several of my friends who I talked to about it say it is a stupid idea, it will be awfull, etc. What do you think? If you have ever lived with your mother-in-law, could you tell me whether it was a good, ok, or bad experience?
I mean, his mom is nice, she seems to like me and I do not anticipate many problems; of course, some compromises will have to be made, but everything will be just temporary. She is a working person, invoved in charity after work, so barely at home. My hubby and I work too, so won't get onto each others nerves too much. Her place has four bedrooms, plenty of space. What do you think?

My wife and I are planning on starting a family inside of year. One of a number of concerns I have is with my mother. She is extremely religious-a fact she often times reminds me of. Typically, when we go over there, she will basically force my wife and I to attend her church. She has also stated on several occasions that she thinks my wife and I (and any kids we have) should attend church. We very well might but think it is not her place to say a thing. One thing I do not want to see is her forcing her religion down my children's throats. An offense like that would likely result in her not being permitted to see her grandchildren unless supervised by either my wife or I. I feel that she should be warned; however, any time I bring up anything that even has a hint of not going along with her religion she immediately take offense. Any ideas as to dealing with this situation?

My life right now is really messed up. I'm 14 and have a pretty boring life. Nobody knows me at school. My dad caught me with marijuana and my mom thinks I'm a psycho. I feel very depressed and quit marijuana but I can tell that my dad still thinks I smoke. My friends constantly betray me and I feel sad about the way things are going for me. Everyone that I used to know is so much farther in life than I am. I'm thinking of running away to a youth hostel or something else. Please don't say talk to a counselor, I've been there and moved on. I need some real life solutions, talking isn't going to solve my problems.

My in-laws are too much into religion and worship. All they watch on TV is sanskar channel. I think this is a big reason that they are completely disconnected with our generation. When my father-in-law visits us I find it very awkward watching any light entertainment stuff in front of him.The result is I get terribly bored in his company. They never watch any new movies or anything entertaining on TV. They still talk about stuff like girls are meant to be given to another family and their previous family does not have those rights on them any longer after marriage! God! Being a well educated and independent woman it's so frustrating to hear all this. They are nice but extreemly overbearing. They want complete right over me and find it difficult to accept my family in my life.I have started confronting these views but still have a long way to go. Any suggestions?

i was just reading a report about the jamie bulger case. iwas young when it happened, but now i ahve a two year old son and i cant contemplate how anyone can do that!?

why has the world gone so screwed up? i cant get my head around it. i know everyone asks why...but they do it half-heartedly. i honestly want to know why people want to bring children up in a world were things like this happen.

im terrified to let my son out by himself. i know that at some point it has to happen, and that terrifies me.

am i the only person who thinks like this. and if not, if theres lots of us, then why isnt more happening? why are we just brushed under the carpet.

living scares me. it shouldnt be like that, i dont what to constanly be asking why.

I'll start.

I have hair on my upper lip and when I was about 12 or 13, before I discovered the miracle of waxing, my moms older sister came to visit. When she sees me she looks at me, runs her finger across my upper lip saying "Everyone in our family has this problem" GGRRRR!!!! I wanted to smack the s*** out of her.

Oh and did I mention it was in front of people too?

She likes to tell me her problems and everything else I don't want to know. I understand if she needs to get issues off her chest, but if she wants to do that it should be with a friend, of which she has many, not me, her daughter. I find myself worrying about things I should not be worrying about.
For example, about a month a ago she told me that she was going to ask my father for a divorice, but she was going to wait untill the end of the summer. I don't think that is something I should have had to worry about. The proper time for me to find out would have been when they were accually getting divoriced, not months in advance. So, now I have the weight of that on my shoulders untill it happens.
I get it if she wants to tell me SOME of her problems, but she's gone too far. How can I get my mother to stop telling me her problems and such so I don't have to listen to them or worry about them?

Someone that knows both me and my ex-mother-in-law says that she was telling her that everything bad that has happened in the family is my fault.

She says that I have ruined her son, her granddaughter and my own life.

I left my ex-husband because he was abusive and controlling. Yet, she still blames me for all of the problems.

I know that I have not been strong and have promised them many times that I would come back and then did not follow through.

She also said that my brother does not want to talk to me and everyone is tired of me. My own parents have been the cause of all of the problems.

I don't think that she is right. I wonder if I was different (stronger and more assertive), I could have made our family life better.

I do worry about my daughter a lot though.

I am upset about my brother making comments about me to my ex-husband. I can't trust my own family also.
