Family - July 2007

They get annoyed whenever I ask to go out with my friends, and I always have to beg them. I'm not even allowed to have sleepovers.
My cousin's parents on the other hand, allow her to spend time with her friends, have sleepovers....they even allowed her to watch the 5th Harry Potter movie at midnight, they're allowing her to go to the Harry Potter midnight party on Saturday, and she can get the book at midnight. She can do fun stuff like that.
Me...my parents would NEVER let me go ANYWHERE at midnight. Which is totally not fair.

So who do you think is more reasonable, MY parents, or my COUSIN's parents?

Right now i am in seatte visiting my younger brothers and sisters and i have a 20 year young sister... she has a boyfriend, a job, and seems so happy. I am three months pregnant, i've accepted this as a single mom, i have my career job, i'm 22, going on 23 soon, i have my own place so my life is very set...
I was looking through my sister's phone and by mistake came across a video that she made with her boyfriend, i think you all can get an idea of what kind, i didn't continue watching cause of course i don't want to see that.

Right now for some reason I am feeling a little down and my mind is just going to the fact that yes i've had a lot of fun partying, dating, drinking and whatnot but i will not be able to do things that she does b/c obviously i'm pregnant and my life is going to take a drastic change.
I know my life isn't over b/c of my baby but i guess i'm missing already the things that i can't do and seeing her do it just reminds me....What do you guys think?

My father and I have had a horrible relationship for the past year and a half. He doesnt agree with the fact that im dating. The guy im dating (and have been dating for 1 year and 1/2) is great, he is going to college in the fall, and yes he is older than me but only 2 years(i am a junior in high school). He has never had a lower than 90 average in high school and he has a job and has never been fired from a job. My father has met him, but never gotten to know him. My parents are divorced and my mom is ok with me dating. And i understand that my dad might not like the fact that im dating but he takes it to an extreme. He never tell's me he loves me and i havnt gotten a hug from him the entire 1 year and 1/2. i love my boyfriend and we are great together. And he has been my best friend for a long time (before we dated). But i dot know what to do. Should i move out of my dads house, considering we argue non-stop. He even got mad at me for going to a funeral. What should i do?

Okay so I was informed today that my soon to be mother in law doesn't like to speak english. I am a hispanic in nationality only, other than that i'm as white as they come! my fiance even calls me a redneck (no cruelty intended)! However last night he told me that when i meet his mother she will probably only speak to me in spanish. I don't understand spanish. I took four years of it and the extent of my spanish is still Yo quiero taco bell! is there a really good program for learning the language, or at least some way to fake it well enough that she doesn't make me look like a complete idiot. My guy loves his mother dearly, but he has no suggestions, only that i attempt to learn because she will do it even if he asks her not to. (gotta love mother in law's right?) Anyone have a similar situation? how did you handle it? What happens if i'm just too dense to learn another language? Any help would be appreciated!

It's like there's an invisible person there, and it's not his imaginary friend, it's like he's actually talking to someone, yet nobody replies back, it's getting creepy, my mom thinks he's hallucinating, it's kind of scary too, HELP!!!!!! Oh, he's young too, 6-7 years old, and he's talking to someone about something, he even talks to them when i'm right next to him, I think something is wrong.

My ex-sister in law never knew her father. The parents were divorced before she was born, the mother schizophrenic and she and her older sister were brought up by their grandmother in England. The older sister went looking for the father. He was American and returned there after the divorce. The older sister found her grandfather, a retired policeman in Detroit who did not make her welcome and warned her not to persue her father. She did and discovered that he had remarried and had about 5 children, all grown up at the time. He had never told his wife or children about the first marriage. On meeting there newly discovered half sister only one of them showed any interest, he though, was adopted. The father, who shall remain nameless had a successful career as a weather anchor man on a local TV station. I think it's mean of him that he never tried to make contact with his British daughters. He is now dead.

my brother has been with this girl for about a year now and no one in my family can stand her but we still do respect and be nice to her. they are both 17 and are about to have a baby and he is going to be there for the baby even if they are not together. she smokes even though she is pregnant (sometimes dope) she is not clean and does not brush her teeth. she does not even treat my brother good she punches him in the face and calls him names all the time. i am 14 and she is rude to me sometimes. she wont leave my brother alone she has to do EVERYTHING with him litterally. i miss him so much and i dont know what to do about it. and every time they break up she keeps calling and crying trying to get him back. and it works because he is too weak to say no. he has no friends anymore cause she is always by his side and she said she dont even want him to get a job. he mowed once for a neighbor and she went with him just to stare at him for hours. this kills me! what do i do? thanks!

Okay, here's the problem. I'm a 13 year old girl. My parents are both smokers and I'm getting really worried. I don't like confrontation so I put this piece of paper that said "Please consider quitting, we're all worried." and taped it on the inside of the carton of cigerettes (big box). Then I taped a piece of paper that said, "You haven't a clue what's happening to your lungs." on the back of the lighter case and a picture of a lung with lung cancer. I was thinking that maybe that would help somewhat.
Now they've saw both papers, and I'm worried. I'm worried that when they get home, they're going to yell at me. They usually do and I was just trying to help. They just won't understand what's going on in my mind because the nicotine has got their brains all screwed up. It's what happens everytime I try to convince them to stop or to say anything, in general.

Please help me. I don't know what I should say when they get home. (should get home in an hour) Thanks to those who helped.

My wife and I have been together for 16 years and its been great. The last 5 years have been really good to us. We have two kids, my wife just finished a year of school, my job is going great, our family lived over seas for a year and 2 years ago we bought a nice house.
The problem is that my wife is "out shinning" her older sister. Her older sister is not married and has no boyfriend, her business does well and she enjoys spending money on vacations and expensive clothes. She only visits about 2 / year. She can be a lot of fun when not over run with jealousy.
Two years ago thier dad died and her sister talked their brother and my wife out of any inheritance. My wife just finished becoming a certified yoga instructor, her sister never showed an interest in yoga when my wife was going to yoga sessions but now her sister is now enrolled in the same course.
When she visits she pushes buttons nonstop and when she leaves we always fight. my wife does not want to confront her.

My sister submitted my story of alcoholism to the show INTERVENTION. They chose me, lied and said they were doing a student documentary, taped my personal life for a week, did the intervention with my family & I agreed to go to rehab in Flordia for 3 months. I sucessfully completed rehab & moved back to my L.A. Calif home clean & sober only to find they had cleaned out my apartment & moved ALL of my things to Florida because they do not want me to live in LA anymore. I have requested my sister to deliver my belongings to me but she wants me to pay. Can I take her to small claims court? This is a huge expense for me right now as I am on the verge of trying to rebuild my life sober. Oh, she is not satisfied at all by the way that I have completed the program sucessfully. She just wanted me back in florida where she lives- that was obviously her main objective. This doesnt seem fair. She has my clothes, computer, camera equip, guitars, EVERYTHING. Do I file small claims in LA or Florida?

yesterday my 16 yr old granddaughter visited me and she told me that she was planning to commit suicide later this week, but before she told me she made me promise not to let anyone she knows find find out. Now in life, I may have lied, cheated(board games) and even stole before but I have never EVER broken a promise nor do I plan to. Once back in 'Nam I had 9 men under my command, me and Srgt. Wolmers, A fellow Sergeant in the war decided to set camp outside a POW camp, Wolmers said that he and his men would take the night watch, when I woke up the next morning Srgt Wolmers and his men were gone along with most of our ammo, leaving me and my men to be captured, the night before I had promised him that i would eat a steak dinner with him, a year and a half ago i found Srgt. Wolmer's grave(in Virginia) told the mortician my story and ate that steak dinner with him, that man left me for dead but i held my promise, so what I'm really asking for is a loophole
