Family - July 2007

Does anybody here feel obligated to stay close their family when they move out, or do you think it is ok to go and explore living somewhere else? I want to, but I have a guilty conscience and I'm afraid that my guilty conscience will hold me back. How do I help myself get past this whole feeling guilty for moving away?

I have been playing soccer for nearly 10 years now, and I have became worn out on the sport and no longer wish to play soccer for my high school. After telling my father that I no longer wished to continue playing soccer and he then threatens me by saying that he will no longer do anything with me and my friends and that i would have to start doing a certain number of chores everyday. Do you have any ideas about what i could say to my father to help him understand that I no longer wish to play soccer for my high school. I am playing on another team, and that still seems to be not enough for him. What are your opinions, thoughts, and suggestions?

I looked after the children of a family member for over 3 months for a quarter of regular fee - this a was a favour to her as she claimed she was having difficulties. I had been going to her home with my children as the situation was only supposed to be for only a few weeks, but she asked me to make it permanent. I informed her that she was going to need to start bringing her children to me. (As an aside, what she was paying me barely covered my transportation, the groceries I was buying to feed all the kids during the day and activities.) I won't go into details about the fit and attempted manipulation that erupted from that - she didn't want to lose the 'nanny' that came to her home! She, ultimately, chose not to bring her children to my home and I no longer care for them.
She still owes me more than a months pay - which she feels she doesn't need to pay as I, apparently, ruined her life, according to friends and family. Do I let it go or demand the cash?

Me and my cousin and planning to move out in 2 months . But i have no motivation to move out .
We are discretely planning to move out because we both had been abused ( mentally and him , more physically ) when we were young , when we raised our voices . We were called crazy , he was put in a mental institution , and as for me ,my bro called the cops on me cuz he said he's so scared to live with me , and my parents

My mommom came down from Delaware to stay with us for two weeks. (Mommom means grandma.) I love her to death, but all she does is clean and watch The Price is Right. (I swear to God that's all she does. Lol.) And when she cleans, I have no idea where she puts anything! Like I bought shampoo last night, and it is a special kind of shampoo. (The straighening kind.) I can't use the kind she got for all of us. (Suave) because it makes my hair so knotty I cry when I brush it. So I have to get Herbal Essence straightening kind, and now I can't find it! Yeah, I know I should have taken it upstairs last night to the bathroom where it belongs, but I was so tired I forgot about it. But now she doesn't even know where she put it. I know it is only two weeks, but come on people, I'm 13, and right now, two weeks seems forever. I can't just tell her to not touch my things and I can't just tell her to not clean, because she raised 8 kids and she just likes to clean. So what should I do?

we have asked for the necklace back and he just smirkes and says he hasn't seen it, but understand this is not the first time he has stolen something he, took my husbend and i's wedding rings off our coffee table and tole us that we were not old enough for them (we were 24 and 28 with a child). eventually the rings were returned, the thing with this necklace is i had it specially made for her, you see her name is egyptian so on one side is her name in hyroglph on the other is her name in english, she has had the necklace since she was 5. the only reason she even took it off was because we went to the lake to swim, and she didn't want to take a chance of loosing it in the lake, so she wrapped it around her glasses and left it on his kitchen counter when we got back her glassed were the but no necklace. and he lives alone with no pets or anything he's the only one who had access to it.

She says I shouldn't be like this or hang out with other "punky" people, but she did when she was young and she turned out fine. I told her that just because they're like that doesn't mean they're bad or druggies. I asked her once if she thought I was punky. She said yes and didn't seem to care. Now she's all... against it. Shouldn't she let me believe what I want to? I mean, I'm a church girl, I'm not going to go out and get high or anything! Seriously. I don't fit in with preps and stuff, and her telling me not to hang out with people like me is like setting me up for emotional disaster. I wish she would just accept me for who I am. I'm "emo" and I like it. Tell me what you think and help me in how to get her to approve. And be realistic. Don't tell me to tell her to "shove it" or something.

Kthnx.

Well my bro-in-law has been living with us for almost a year now rent free. This was suppose to be temp, til he could get a place. I'm beginning to feel hopeless about him leaving. My husband helped him get a job, even gave him a truck to use this past year. My husband has talked to him and his bro says he's looking. I think he has it way too easy. He has kids over every other weekend and they make messes and it seems like I'm cleaning up after them and I'm tired of it. My husband has been gone for work for 3 weeks and he has not offered to do anything to help me out. His gf sleeps over everynite. He borrowed my husb. Jeep because the tire was flat in the truck, returned it with no gas I didn't even get a mile away from my house without breaking down. I just feel like he is taking advantage of us and it's starting to interfere with the relationship between my husb. and I because I expect him to talk to his bro about it, cause it's his bro.

I'm turning into a very bitter person nursing a very bad 'loathing' of people.

I think it all stems from home. My mum is crazy. I just got hit by her because I didnt comb my hair. She hit me with her towel and my face stings.. That is not the only thing she's done to me..

Whenever she's angry, she throws everything of value to me, my handphone, my ipod (which I am using as a thumbdrive to store THREE years' worth of school documents - i'm still schooling) she nearly broke my ipod, which I spent $500 on five years back..

Pls take a look at my other question - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak9EJkuxiDbrAddbQUMvKunty6IX?qid=20070722015433AAGFB7Y

I'm sick of this, and I'm sick of cringeing badly whenever she comes near me. I hate her. I just taunted her with: "you want to hit me, come on, hit! every time angry always like that" and of course, she hits me.

She's menopausal. Are all menopausal women like that?

I put my daughter in some tutoring classes. I asked my parents to pick her up and drop her since its during the day when I work.

My father basically gave me the third degree about how much they cost and asked all of the details.

I just wanted him to drop her off and pick her up which he had volunteered to do.

I felt like I was dealing with my ex-husband agan by the way that he gave me the third degree.

I think if I am paying for the tutoring, I should be involved with how much I am spending not my father. Its my child and I am responsible for her development.

I am getting married April 2008 and my fiance & I were disscussing kids. He says he won't be able to afford a home, bills, food, and kids on his ($120,000) salary b/c he also pays $1000 in school loans. We have no family near us and I really do not want my kis growing up at a daycare. I must admit I grew up with my mother staying at home. My sister also worked for a nicer daycare & said she would never put her kids in daycare. I told him I would go back to work once they are both in school but that I wanted to work at the school for I could have the same time off as the kids. I am willing to have a part time job 2 or 3 days a week while my kids are small but my air traffic controller husband would have to be home. Yes, air traffic controllers have all sort of weird hours.
His friend who works with him even thinks I should stay at home b/c my salary right now would not cover the cost of daycare, gas, and clothing (for me at work). How do I convince him or what should I do?

Ok here's the deal. I'm a 21 year old college student living with a controlling dad. My life is a living hell because he nicks and picks at every little thing I do. He even gets mad at me because I stay out all night. The reason why I stay out all night if I stay out past 10 is because he didn't want me coming in late like 3 a.m( you know respect the house stuff). When I told him I was moving and my plans he blew up and started tripping on me(Called me stupid and crap like that blah blah blah).You guys have pretty good idea on how controlling parents act.

Ok , Me and and two friends got a deal on a apartment for
$560 a month. I've been planning this for while. By living at this place I would have to commute until may of next year, then I would be going to a school in that area. The commute is a total distance of 32.14 miles. Should I do it or wait till I'm done with school in the area that I'm in? extra info:I have a 219 car payment and I have a $4500 loan support

I have the most beautiful, most smart wife and I cannot see myself without her. We have been married for 9 years and have been dating since she was 15. I love her and have done everything for her including putting her through school. About three weeks I found out she had an affair for two years with another and was planning a future with him. Because I married her really young I tried not to be in her face alot and gave her alot of space. She has always taken good care of me as a wife, cooking, cleaning, managing my finances well. We have no kids. She graduated from university of honors. She now has a way better paying job than me. She is 24 and I am 36 about 12 years older than her. She was to leave me. Even though she cheated I am willing to forgive her. Even if I ever lost everything in this world I want her. Everything was going well until I saw emails and pictures of her with him and his family. His family loves her. Everyone who meets her loves her. I can't let go, Please Help!

used to know a girl when I was a shorty (family friends) but we never used to actually speak to each other, but I used to go play with her younger brother a lot. 20 years later I saw her while I was overseas (we now in our late 20's). We went out to dinner and theatre to catch up. She told me when we were little she didn't speak to me as she didn't know what to talk to me about. Now we get along pretty well and we talked for hours - she told me about the past and what she been upto since. I payed for dinner so she asked if I mind if she pay for theatre. I notice she put her hand in my pocket so she can see the money clip I use. when I suggested I send her something when I got back as a thank you gift, we stopped at her place and she gave me a gift to take home. She hug me goodbye.

I sent her books coz she reads and she went and told her family members and now her older brother is upset because he feels left out.

Can you plz translate her signs that a man can understand?
