I keep seeing all these questions about moving out at 22 b/c "you're an adult" You can be an adult by law all you want. But, if you don't have the financial backing, than your screwed. Why leave home at 22 to incure debt? It's just stupid. It doesn't build character or hard work. It just breaks down the soul when you're 30 and realize you don't have anything. You pay rent and don't own a home. I'm sorry, but I think its more sad to be over 30 and paying rent, then is it to be 24 and living at home. The first seems much sadder, the second more forgivable.

What do people think? In this day and age, with our economy and gas prices at $3.50 a gallon, isn't it better to be 24, debt free and living at home, than moving out a getting into debt. America has a huge debt problem, yet people think moving out to learn financial responsiblity and build character are more important.

My advice is to go to school, get a good job, save up for 2 year or so OR pay off

I just had a baby about a month ago, and yes I gained about 20 lbs. that have NOT COME OFF!!! I have a small frame so those 20 lbs. look like 50!!! My son is embarrassed to be seen with me now, because some of his little friends called me fat and he does not want them making fun of HIM! I do live in San Diego and the majority of mother's in the area where I live are thin so compared to them I look like a whale!! I'm so disappointed that my son is being this shallow and selfish, I didnt raise him to judge people on the outside. I've never had anyone embarrassed of being seen with me so I'm not sure how to handle this. How do I handle this situation... I know he's a little boy but I'm still so very disappointed in him and I'm hurt that he would be ashamed of me because of my weight :(

The dad is a pushover, His son is a habitual liar,and the girlfriend is trying to push everyone around. She is only 16. The son is 18. The son works fulltime but does not pay for anything in the house and gets his dad to buy his cigarettes and gas and insurance. The girlfriend gets money sent every month from her dad for food etc but does not buy anything. Execpt for gifts for the boyfriend. But they all seem to have rules and regulations for my daughter. So what am I to do. The dad pays all the bills and the mortgage etc. They pay nothing. Then the son complained the other day because my boyfriend bought my kids a new bike and he didnt get one.

She is adopted and certainly has issues being in bio family for the first 2 years of her life. We have given her much love and consider her our daughter. She is sexually active, doing drugs, and just about kicked out of school. All of our discipline stategies have failed. She is now walking out of our home. She is staying with an older daughter, but I need to know if there is anything family court is able to do so we can get her into some sort of facility to help her. thank you

We got a phone call last weekend from my sis in law, for fathers day he wanted some bushes planted. I told my hub I did not think he meant us (me and 2 kids) my hub wanted us to come. So we did. It was horrible. I was so right he did not want us there. The kids were not even allowed in the house, except to use the bathroom. I am a very experienced gardener and when I went to grab a shovel to help, my sis in law shook her head no. I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere in all my life. At one point my daughter, who is two went for the landscaping rocks and grandpa flipped. telling her he was going to smack her.. a bit later my hub put some rocks into my nieces lil wheelbarrow and grandpa freaked on him, don’t f$%^ing give them rocks I am going to kill someone if I hit them with a lawn mower.. the last straw was when my 2 yr old hopped off the patio, onto his new “dirt” bed and grandpa started screaming for the switch…any advice?
thanks...

My dad loves marvel comics so i thought of getting him one for old times sake.

He is 34 and came to live in our area and is staying in our house until he gets sorted. He has money (he got from his mother) for rent, deposit etc for new place and got a job (my husband got it for him) and he started work but he has not even mentioned looking for a place, hasn't looked or even talked about it. He has never worked as he was in college for a long time and he has always lived off his parents. I have a feeling he will stay a long time, am I right to be concerned? Or should I just relax and see how it goes he is only with us a week so far.

my uncle jimmy found out that my cousin sophie (18) lost her virginity recently and he went nuts. i mean i know hes concerned because shes his only daughter, but its not like shes a baby.! My mum had a word with him and said that itl be alright and that shes not like some girls who are lossing it at 13-14. I just dont see why he is so angry! all dads are different i know, but i think hes just being a bit over the top. Sophie was upset because he makes her feel ashamed about what she had done and he only found out because of her email message from sophies friend! Is this wrong, what do you think?

Fathers out there please put your views too.

At first my son who has a daughter who is 8 from a previous relationship made every effort to involve her and all his family in his new relationship, things went well and soon they were living together and his daughter stayed with them at the weekends. His partner then became pregnant and then started to sever all connections with his side of the family including his daughter who was devasted. Its now 2 years down the line and things have steadily got worse, I now have 2 grandchildren who I never see, after months of trying to keep her happy by visiting in the evening when my son was at home with a check phone call to make sure it was convienient to go over. My current situation is now that I feel i have lost a son, a grandson and grandaughter and they have lost one half of a family who love them unconditionally.

I need some changes in my life. I am tired of living in the desert and I never liked living here in the first place and I do not get along with my dad. I am 15 almost 16 and its gotten to the point that once I get my drivers licensce and a car I am thinking about running away even though I know that is not a good idea. I honestly dont think I can take two more years of living at home. I have no relatives that live nearby and no friends that I would be able to stay with if I needed to. I have always been independent and I've taken care of myself for years . I have a job but I would not be able to afford an apartment on what I get paid but I do think I would be able to support myself if I lived with a couple of roomates. Help. Advice please.

My husband's family is having a reunion in 3 wks. Over the last 20 years my husband has been disabled and unable to work. I have worked two jobs and established a nice home for us. This does not leave much for extras. In that time his family did nothing to support us, some of them not even a phone call or a "can we help." I want to take him back to see his roots but costs are exhorbitant. I feel so guilty by not going and yet recognize that we have been "abandoned" for a long time by these people with the exception of two sister in laws (married to his brothers) who keep in touch. Should we go and see his family one last time or stay home and save for a cruise of something we would both enjoy. I feel like a B****. Help me....please.aaaaagggghhhh

Recently my daughter (18mos.) has pulled a Tyson (bit) my younger half brother several times. This last time my mother was very angry and refered to my daughter as a "savage." I was so angry!! But what suprises me is that my daughter has never taken a bit out of her other playmates. She plays well w/ her older and younger cousins and w/ my other toddler brother (father's son). So why does my daughter only bit my older brother? Also, everytime we both go to my mother's my brother is on her case constantly, raising his voice and always being negative towards her. Demanding that she leave everything alone, and don't touch that, and don't get this..... I feel like bitting him myself. Should I stay away from my mom, and demand that if she wants to see my daughter she can come to my house???

Please Help, Thanks!!!

She has picked up smoking and hanging out with other girls that their parents don't care if they sleep over at their boyfriends all weekend. But, her home life is really great she just wants to believe that its the worst, like her friends lives. We gave up the option of me working so I could be a stay at home mom and raise them right. She feels we dont hear her or care for her feelings. When that is so far from the truth. Help and very concerned dad and mom.
Thank you any answers could hold a little glimmer of hope. If not for us maybe some other family with our same problem.

We've been together for year and share such a close bond. We never fight, and I honestly see no reason at all why I should breakup with him now. I have always followed my mother's rules. She's decided that after getting to know him for the past year that he is not the one for me because: he is of a different race, religion, she feels as though he is unattractive and a momma's boy. She expects me to end things with him as soon as possible when in relaity that will simply break my heart. I do not want to choose between her and him, and when I explained to her that i respect her opinion but want to stay with him she just becomes more infuriated with me and says how she's given her life to raising me (single parent) and that I am basically awful for not listening to her wishes.

I'm typically quite good at debating her, but this time is just too much for me. Anyone have any advice?

My brother left our house a few years ago, and he won't take my calls, it's odd. I don't think he hates me, but I'm not sure why he won't answer when I call. I mean, even talking to him in person seems like a chore to him, when I do see him. He barely speaks! Maybe he's just self conscious because he stutters a bit, and is depressed.
My problem with him, is that when he left, he went to go live with our abusive alcoholic father, who spoiled him rotten after the divorce, to literally buy his favor. He still does it because he bought my brother a house! The kid's never had a job in his life, and he has a house already. Mind you, his Dad still drinks like a fish so he's gonna die one of these days and this kid has no real life experience at all, and he's gonna have to deal with all of that. I think he's expecting our Mom to help him with it, which she probably will. Sorry, Im ranting again. I am gripey about some things with my brother, but he's still my brother, I wish he would pick up

I live in South Orange County right now, which is basically the "nice" safe part. I don't live in a mansion or anything, but it's safe in the part of O.C. where I live. Well, I'm 21 and I mentioned to my parents I'm going to move out in 2 months. My Dad was extremely adament and almost yelling about how he's not going to let me move to L.A.,

The problem is I can't just "move out." i NEED a cosigner, and I could have my brother do it, but my parents are going to find out where I'm living!! It's not as simple as taking my stuff and dashing in the middle of the night.

How can I make my Dad more open to the idea of me moving to L.A.? (this will be the first time I've ever moved out-I'm only 21...so that in itself is jarring to him, and L.A. is like "scary" "shootings" "Danger Danger Danger" in his eyes.

We don't exactly communicate well as it IS, let alone when humongous issues like this have to be discussed.
