Family - July 2007

My grandma on my moms side moved into my house from the Philipines when i was only 4 years old. I am now 16 and i still havent seen my dad talk to my grandma. She tried to talk to him a couple times but he just nods his head or something. My grandma hasnt done anything wrong to him. As a matter of fact, my grandma was the one that introduced my parents when my dad was in the navy and had to go to the philipines. My grandma has done nothing but help us and he still wont talk to her. Why?? I asked him before but he just turned around and told me to eat my food. So why wont he talk to my grandma??

I think the trans on my car is gone, my uncle said he'd look at the car but he is very busy.I go to college and need a car to get to class so my mom is letting me use her truck and staying at my house and watching my son.However she is very agrumentitive with me and I REALLY hate dealing with her.Last time I had my uncle fix my car it took a month.Should I just take it to a shop or have my unlce fix it?
I will be paying for it either way.

just to add and let you know, I didn't do anything to push her away. It was her mother. She was always telling her I was bad. I had a great realtionship with her until her mom took me back for well deserved child support modifiacation. Her mom put her in the middle of it and said many things to her that were untrue. I have been heart broken that she will not talk to me. She wanted to do whatever she wanted and she didn't feel she needed to come over here. Her mom told her friends were more important while going to school. Evey time I called, I just said hi, it is your dad. Just calling to see how you are. I never demanded anything from her. Just never dreamed that she would not talk to me. She is also from a very wealthy family and is due to inherit millions. I was a bit surprised by some of the assumptions in the responses to my origional post. I have done nothing but what my counselor told me to do and it has been her choice to not talk to me. I never did anything to push her away

I moved out when i was 17yrs old with my ex-boyfriend I got into drugs and at 20yrs old i ended up in rehab. My ex boyfriend got deported to honduras for selling drugs. The only reason I left my house is because my mother and I used to fight about my ex. Well he is out the picture now. I am now married to a wonderful hardworking man, My mother is going through finanical problems and wants us to move in to help her pay half the rent. I would benefit because I am having a new baby and it would really help me out a lot. I am just scared about arguing with her or my little sister she is 12 and argues with my kids non stop. I want to help my mom cuz she always been there for me, But i am scared of problems arguing. What should I do??

My relationship w/ mom broke up 2 years ago. I, was immature, joined bad friends. I apologized, promised to change and meant it but she didn't trust me, I got a harsh punishment. I begged for her trust, she said I had to abide by the consequences of my mistake. It wasdevastating to hear this from my mom. I really loved her and her trust was important, for months I suffered a lot. Then I got over, found comfort and trust with people I joined in volunteering activities w/ children. Mom lost my love. This Sunday there was a small party at the school where I work w/ children, they like me and decided to please me with a simple but touching party just for me. They asked me to bring my parents but I didn't. It was wonderful, the best moment of my life. Mom got to know about the party and got kinda hurt cause I didn't invite her. Well, she didn't trust me when I needed her most, so why would I invite her to something so important to me but that has absolutely nothing to do w/ her?

My husband and I do okay, my married children not so good. Should we offer to pay some of their bills to help them out, or should we just let it go unless we are asked? BTW, in general they don't go out of their way to spend time with us, but that isn't really the issue. When I was a young married I could have benefitted greatly if my parents had helped us out a bit, but of course they did not.

You have your child for the specified visitation time and the last day has come and you have to have your child home to her mom's house by 6. The mom says she isn't going to be there because she has to go to school and is unwilling to make arrangements with any family members to have the child taken there. What would/can you do?

So I grew up in Michigan with a mother who has been a poor decision maker and has let herself get walked on and taken advantage of several times, and lower income considering the size of our family (6 kids, im the oldest). I moved out when I was 17. When I turned 21 I moved to Arizona with my best friends, I got a great job. I'm now almost 24 and have worked very hard and now have a six figure income, I'm having my first house built and have met a great girl, all from nothing things are going great for me. My dilema is that my mother is still in the same rut, shes allowing my 19 year old brother, who has had a kid with his 18 yr old gf btw, freeload and do drugs at her house while my other younger siblings are there.When I talk to her on the phone, she just blames everything on everyone else, and she never takes action to make things better. I can't take it anymore, I can't afford to sacrifice what I have to support them, I dont want this in my life, is it ok to cut her out of my life?

Parents often make such statements in response to their teenager’s objections with regards to curfews, chores, etc..
How helpful are those words, really. What are we teaching our kids about life when we say this is my house and these are my rules?
And when does the house become our children’s house also, when do they have a say in the rules?

My boyfriends mom(Jane) and dad(Joe) are divorced and have been for at least 4 years. Joe was ordered by the court 2 pay Jane maintenance around $330ish I think a month, if she has her OWN place. For almost 2.5 years, she has been living with her boyfriend and is still receiving her maintenance. Joe found out that she had been living with her boyfriend and is now taking her to court, so he will no longer have to pay her, since she now lives with her b/f. The only thing is, she is asking her son (my b/f) to lie and say that she lives with him in our house. He first declined, but now she has him on a guilt trip and told him that his father lied to him, right to his face. Jane has done a lot of things for her son and is now basically DEMANDING he lie to his father to "pay her back". Is it right for my b/f 2 lie 2 his father, just because Joe lied to him? 2 wrongs don't make a right! Is it right of his mother 2 demand he do this for her? I think my b/f should be left out of their mess!

Ok I have posted so much stuff about helping me with my mom but I have a huge problem. Her friend just told my mom that I dragged my brother across a drive way which I did not. I told her I did not I was told to be lieing. So I call my aunt who was there and saw everything (my bro is 4 and freaked out and got mad so I tried to pick him up and he refused too!) and she told my mom I DID NOT drag him at all just pulled his arm. Her friend was the one who lied but that does not matter I am grounded for "lieing" and hurting my brother and she still treats her friend like gold (even though she is teh problem and lier!!) and treats me like s***...what do I have to do about getting my mom to realize everything that is going wrong is alllll her friends fault?? And help me get me ungrounded for something I did not do!

This morning, my husband, my son and I, took my daughter to catch the train. She joined the Job Corp and she will be gone for 6 month's to a year. (depending on how fast she works) I really broke down crying at the train station and even more, when she boarded the train. Although I am proud of her, I miss her terribly already and coming home to see her room literally empty, didn't help matters. How do I deal with this, I miss her so much? Not only is she my daughter, but she's also my best friend. I will say, i'm very thankful, that she's only 3 hours away from us, as far as the distance goe's.

We were born in TX and moved to OR when I was 11 and he was 4. I moved back to TX in 2003 after being laid off. My brother came with me and we stayed at my grandmother's until I could find a place. We moved out and my brother moved back to OR because he couldn't find a job and didn't have transportation. Unfortunately TX has poor bus service, especially if you live in the suburbs. However, OR has an excellent transit system for just about anywhere you live. My brother has decided to move back to OR (after being fired from his job 2 weeks ago) and will be leaving this Friday. I am so crushed. We are very close and he is one of my best friends. We do everything together. It has not been confirmed that he is gay, but he is kind of like the girlfriend I never had. He helps me shop for furniture, decorations, clothes, etc. and he always listens to me and he never judges me. My husband and I have a terrible relationship. We are working on things, but I get no companionship.

About 18 months ago she messed up, was hanging out with bad friends, did some bad stuff, got disrespectful, lied. We had to give a severe punishment. She apologized, said now she could understand she was wrong, promised to change. But I was very upset, hurt and even after the punishment it took me several months to trust her again. I told her flat out she'd have to regain my trust, this broke her spirit, she didn't expect that. I didn't know my trust was so important to her. She got in a deep depression, buy anyway I thought I should be firm, told her I understood how she felt but I needed actions, depression wouldn't solve the problem. She went to counseling, got out of her depression, but our relationship was destroyed. Se found teachers who gave her great proofs of trust, everybody says she's a wonderful girl and actually, now we're proud of her.She's everything parents want, but avoids me is extremely resentful. I tried talking to her, but she avoids me, says I hurt her.

I am an American Arab... I was visiting my family over seas 2 years ago, and they were great... I remember them from childhood - but 7 years later - going back as an adult, I was more of a guest than a family member. I always told my dad that seeing his family was great (and it was) but when I happned to mention (2 years later) in a conversation about letting people go - that I was not really "family to them anymore but more of a guest" my dad got upset - and called me a "Bastard" (which is a big insult when spoken in Arabic).

I love my family... and I wanted them to go back to normal - but lets face it... things change - and I lived in the United States for 9 years- they don;t look at me as one of them anymore... am I right in thinking this? Should I just let them go?
