Family - July 2007

My boyfriend, a roomate and I share a 2 bedroom apartment. The first week of June, my boyfriend's mother asked if her and her 10 year old son could stay with us for a few days while she got some medical testing done locally. Of course, we were more than happy to have them visit. After 3 days, they left. All was wonderful. As they were leaving, we were informed that they would need to come back for another couple days starting July 1st for the results and a medical consult. Again, we were happy they would be joining us for a couple more days. This time they stayed 14 days. After 10 days, I was getting restless, wondering when they were going home. When they left at 8am on July 14th, I was happy to once again have a house to myself. I come home from work at 10pm that evening to find them sitting around in my living room. They then informed me that they cannot go back to the grandparents house, where they had been staying, and that their apartment will not be ready until mid-august.

Can you beleive this?, tonight my mum, told me, i used to sleep in the cupboard at the top of the stairs, becuase it was the only place "I" could sleep. Apparently i kept the whole house awake unless i was in the confines of this cupboard. I've never had chlostrophobic tendancies, but now this room feels very small. I often recall a cousin telling me whenever we visited her house that i was to sleep in the coal bunker. I think i have some claim to to trauma from these childhood experiencies, am i being over dramatic, or should i seek advice from my lawyer?

Do you have any such 'humourous' tales from your youth?

I am so heart broken, I went to my in-laws house for dinner and again they were hounding me about their trip to Holiday World /Splashing Safari. I have medical problems, and was told by my OB, that I am not allowed to go. However, they continued to hound me until I felt like they really do not care about me, my baby or my family in general. It is like they only want what they want and to Hades with the plans that my family had already made since WE decided NOT to take a risk of going.Part of it is that we have had trouble trying to have a baby, and after 10 years, God and prayers have finally given us one & she is very precious to us. To my hubby, my son and myself. Why can't they understand this? I explained it to them just as I have done you, and MIL's reply was "Well, you have had almost nine months with this baby, you can all go to Holiday World". Please tell me that I am wrong, that they do care...because right now, I feel like what is more important to us means little to them.

I have 2 kids, a boy 14 and a girl 12, both good kids. My girl made a mistake, nothing serious but I thought she deserved a small lesson. I'm doing research for a course I'm taking, so I selected some texts in several books to type them. I told her to do this. It'd take her about 3 hours, working slowly. No fun for a summer afternoon, but nothing harsh either. I left and when I came back, 90 min later, it was ready. Since I got amazed she'd finished so fast, she confessed my son helped her. He's good at comps and used our scanner (thing my girl can't use) to make things easier. She said she didn't ask for his help, it was his idea. He conffirmed, said he felt sorry for her and decided to give her a hand. He apologized, said maybe he didn't do the right thing, but said, "Well, siblings should help each other right? And now, mom, you have your work done, without typos and even with the pictures." Frankly I got embarraessed, I love heir friendship, but my girl didn't have her lesson.

I don't think we will get a divorce, because we have decided to stay together for the sake of our son. I still love him but also hate him at the same time. Is possible to just live together?

live indepently. I am a full time student doing my pre-med course. we are not well to-do and my brother is the only one working his butt off. we learned that we had to move in september. Because of the distraction my parents are sending me abroad. I am extremely excited about this cause both my parents lived a carefree life until we were born. My brother and I did not get that opportunity even though we want it so bad. I was talking to my mom about my desire of traveling and making new friends, she said there is no point to doing that because there are people who dont have friends from out of the country. (BTW I have never held it against my parents for denying the experience that they both had) I got mad because she did not understand how i felt and old her she would never understand. she became angry and said that there is no point sacrificing for a person like me.. My question is should i go on and study abroad or stay at home and get a job and help them move? e-mail for more info

I have never before thought of myself as a racist. I still don't, but my sisters think I am being racist. Case in point, I am 42/w/f/mother of 2 boys(by the same man). My sisters are 22 and 19. Neither of them are married and both have just recently given birth to mixed( african american&white)children. Imet their boyfriends and new babies this weekend down at my fathers house.The boyfriends do not have jobs, but wear a lot of BLING BLING and the Gangsta type clothes. They do not lift a finger to help with the babies(monitary or even just change a diaper). My sisters are both on welfare and my dad is paying for their Apt's, clothes, cars,cellphones and insurance. Their boyfriends are living with them and not having to do a thing! Am I wrong to think that this is a couple of guys who basically are having cake and eating it too? When I try and tell my sisters that they have been USED and these good for nothings are going to fly the coop when another hottie walks by, I am being racist?

It was so high schoolish because her friend is not one of my favorite people and they are thick as thieves. Not a holiday passes without her in attendance.They both snapped at me all day, I was unable to leave the area so I just sat quietly untill my ride came. After the other woman left I told my mother in law how crappy I thought they both were to me and she proceeded to kiss my rear. Now my feelings are just plain hurt and I help my mother in law financially which I plan to cut her off pronto. My hubby's mad at her for disrespecting me and told her so and there's a big ruckus started. I feel bad. Any suggestions to end this mess would be much appreciated. In the mean time I'm mad at myself for not standing up and walking home!! Thanks for listening.

My parents have been dealing only weed (to my knowledge) from my house. I am 20 now, and have very little money since my parents have stolen the bulk of my money. Is there any way for me to get the police involved while protecting myself and being able to keep my home? I live in Ontario Canada. Any information or advice is very much appreciated. If there are any more questions, please refer back and I will add more details later.

Thank you VERY much

I was living in a foster home with this lady and two other teenaged girls. I will be eighteen in a couple of days and I have been living with this lady for 2 years. I am on my way to college and I have 2 jobs. i'm not a trouble maker at all. One of the girls recently cursed her out and she still allowed the girl to stay in her home. I recently snuck out of the house to meet my boyfriend at the park late at night. I was only gone 30 mins at the most. The other girls on the other hand didn't come home until 4 a.m. My foster parent found out about it and now she is putting me (and the other girls) out. I feel like she gave the other girl a second chance so she should give me one too. She said she is dissappointed in me because she had more trust in me. I feel like it was nothing compared to what the other girls did. I also feel horrible. This is the first time I ever did something like this and I feel horrible. Why won't she let me stay?

I have a terrible, basically non-existant relationship with my father. He mentally abused me for about 8 or 9 years until I basically cut things off with him (when I went off to college). The other day he physically abused me for the first time, at my grandfather's birthday party in front of everyone. I don't want answers such as "just cut him out of your life" "your an adult, just don't talk to him." I know all that, I've already ignored his emails and will not answer the phone if he ever calls and I will avoid future family parties if I know he is going to be there. I miss everyone else but its just not worth it. The reason I want to be legally separated from him is because I know that he has a LOT of debt and when he is gone I don't want anyone chasing after me for the money. I don't want to have to deal with his mistakes when they have nothing to do with me. If there is some secret cash when he dies, I don't want it, I want nothing of his, debt or cash or otherwise.

My boyfriend and i have been together for 5months, i'm 20, he's 26. I live with my parent still and my boyfriend lives an hour away so he comes to see me every thursday -sunday. His mother also lives about 5 miles from me since this is his hometown. He has been staying with me at my house overnight every time he comes down and recently my mother told me she doesn't want him staying over anymore because it looks shabby and it's against her beliefs..why does she wait until we're five months in our relationship to say anything?? After we're so much more close than at the beginnning of the relationship? and we're both well above 18, so i don't see what the problem is. She also loves him and gets along with him great!

I am currently living with the most annoying, jerky, self centered drunk who unfortunately fathered our son. (not married) Some days he's tolerable, but most the time not. He is constantly at me about one thing or another, and when he drinks his Jack and Cokes after work, or any other time, he becomes a real a$$ (verbally abusive in front of our son - it doesn't effect me, but I am worried that our son will pick up on his mouth soon) . Anyhow, we moved away from him for 2 months to live with my parents earlier this year. However, my parents live in a retirement community that doesn't allow children under 18 stay for more than 3 mos. So currently I can't go back. I don't want my parents to move because I am 35 and they shouldn't have to move out of their community b/c of my problems. I am working so I do get an income, however, it's not enough to actually get a place of my own unless it was in a questionable part of town. Bottomline, I've had it with him and his crazy ways...any ideas
