Family - July 2007

I have 4 brothers (7,13,14,15) and I have to share my room with the 7yr old!!! the 13yr old and the 14yr old share a room, and but oldest brother has a room to himself!!

Why do i have to share a roomwith him? I'm a 12yr old girl and I think my older brother should share a room with him.

I have to get ready for bed really early so I don't disturb him when he's asleep (cos he has an early bedtime)
I feel really embarassed when I have friends round cos my brother has all these posters up of dinosaurs and reallly babish boy stuff and I have to just go along with it.

I asked my parents if I could change rooms with Jack (15) but they said a 12 yr old doesn't deserve her own room if it means kicking and older sibling out.

How can I change their minds?

Thank you!

As an atheist living with a VERY religious mother, there have been obvious problems for years now, particularly in regards to me bringing 'evil' into the house in the form of fantasy novels and odd items.

After bringing yet another 'evil' item into the house, she told me either it goes, or I do. Although perhaps I'm being a spoiled brat, this has just been the final straw. I've dealt with this for over 5 years now and I'm so thoroughly tired of it all it's making me physically ill.
She is sick and dragging me down with her.

The problem is that I work as part of her family cleaning business. I'm not financially independent and have only about $140, no car, no close relatives(They all moved away from her) and few close friends(none I can live with).
She thinks she can keep the business without me, but she can't really do all the work herself and no one will agree to work for someone who can't always give them their whole paycheck due to rent being due.

Any advise would be welcome...

I moved with our baby from UK to USA to be with my husband.

Right now we are saving like crazy to put debts aside so we can buy a small house of our own.

His parents own a 6 apartment building, and we have been living here on slightly cheaper rent, they live in the one above us.

But I am getting so fustrated b.coz I feel like I am being watched and commented on all the time, about absolutely everything!

Like if it's a hot day, I put the a.c on and she comes and tells me why don't I just open the window like she does, when it's 90 outside. Then if I tell her we are ordering food later it's too hot to cook, she tells me his ex wife used to put the a.c on and get cooking so why can't I.

Then she tells my my 22 month old daughter is small b.c I didn't eat much so she didn't take from me or my breastmilk. Now she is 22 months old, she tells me she is too young to have been taken off a bottle she should drink milk in a bottle til shes 3.

Aaaargh I know it sounds petty...

She is always telling me that I dont feed my daughters enough food (they are 6 and 7). For example, I would make for lunch a ham a cheese sandwich and give them some yogurt or a banana along with the sandwich....thats a good little lunch. My mom tells me thats not enough food. She tells me I dont feed them enough food. Shes just so overbearing and they are not even really her grandchildren. The girls are really my stepdaughters. Yesterday, she told me I wasnt giving them enough for dinner and the next thing I know, I get a knock on my door. Its my dad with a bag of KFC for the girls. First of all, i wasnt dressed properly, secondly, they should have called and asked me if it was ok. It just makes me feel like they think i am incapable of being a mother. I also have a 9 month old son. It really hurt my feelings and i tried to tell them, but they wont listen. my mom hung up on me! any advice????

Im 13 and a half. I know about emancipation and i plan to get emancipated when im old enough. I never get along with my parents, we always fight. My mom just goes off and cries but my dad shouts. Sometimes i hear my mom scream and i think he might be hurting her. Lately he's been shouting at me more and more. Sometimes he gets so mad he gets this crazy look in his eyes and i get terrified. I just freeze and pray he won't hit me. He has never actually hit me. And i have no proof he hits my mom. I am just afraid he will lose it one day and hit me...i have one younger brother whom i love. He's 11. I do not think he is aware what is happening. Just to be clear, My dad has never hit me and i have no proof he hits my mom. I am just afraid he will hit me and i don't want to take that chance. I am 13 and a half and my brother just turned 11. What do i do? Help me please.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it a lot.

I know nothing about cocaine. My boyfriend comes home from work and is extremley mean (yelling, cussing, throwing things) at me and my children. I know that a guy he works with does cocaine. He is been hanging out with him a lot lately. My question is when you come down are you mean.
I just dont know what is going on with him. He has no other symptoms like runny nose, red eyes, sniffling or anything like that, he is losing a little weight and hardly ever sleeps. He goes to bed at like 12:00 and has to be at work at 4:30. Like I said no other obvious signs, unless they dont appear until youve been using for a while. When you come off your coc high are you mean and irritable. How long does a coc high last? Im very confused at why he is treating us so bad, I thought it could be from coming dowm off a coc high, I have never done it so I dont know. If someone knows how people on coc are or some early signs could you please let me know, I'm at the end of my rope. Thanks a lot

I found out that some family members were talking very badly about me. (they are know for being "gossipers") She is upset that i bought a home in her neighborhood (10 mins away from her) i dont visit anyone.. I am a mother of 2 and truly just dont have the time. I've had a rough life and finally things have started turning around for me. (recently got married, bought a house, got promoted at work.. 2007 has been good to me so far and i am very thankful for that) But i just cant get over that my family of all ppl are putting me down and taking away from my blessing. Just recently she thru her daughter sweet 16 and everything from the gown to the decor was exactly like my wedding. That hurt! Because of my confrontation, (which was extremely civilized) she started threatening me like if i am an enemy.. Should i have stayed shut or did i do the right thing by standing up for myself??

I am 13 and my cousine is 16, so when i came there i saw that he had 2 friends over 4 the afternoon, they were as twice as tall as me.
They 4 some reason were laughing.
so then my uncle suggests if he takes us to McDonal's 4 dinner, on his new Hammer. but my cousin's friends want to go, so, i think,, should i stay and avoide get bullied by thoes 2 guys and miss one in a lifetime expirance, or go 4 it?
I went 4 it, i got to sit bettwen thoes 2 guys, they looked like my personal body gardes. they were whispering to each other over my head and smiling and laughing, they were the only ppl laughing in the car, so we go there, and while i was eating the 2 guys started copying my moves. I went to the bathroom and when i got back i found out that my sprite has been turned to a fanta, they were once again the only ppl laughing. Wat's wrong with them?

i haven't seen my dad in 2 yrs. He's never seen my daughter who is 1 now. Why? because there was a lot of family issues like money and my parents saying my daughter wasn't my husbands because they just didn't like him so they were mean to him. Well my mom recently called and would like myself the baby and my husband to go to their house for a visit. her b-day was yesterday and this is all she would like from us as her b-day gift. She says my dad often cries because he hasn't seen my daughter, but yet he is so stubborn he won't call me to tell me that! Anyway i want to go see them today and my husband is as stubborn as my dad is and says why should we go over there after all they"ve done.(ex: missing our wedding never calling on my birthday or my daughters etc....) I still love my parents and my heart is breaking, my dad has a really bad heart and i want him to see our child before its to late! my husband dosen't care! he will stop me if i try to go myself! What should i do! HELP!!!!!!!

My life: Infront of me in calss is my enemy who keeps cursing and uses words like "hell" which i am not allowed to use. When i edit her h.w she complains and says to her frenz "What the hell does she think?" "She is just making it worse." She has been rude once wven when i told her to keep quiet. She makes fun of my friends too. I don't like it. I'm too soft-hearted to do anything violent. 2) I keep losing things. I lost my math books, stationary, files, temperature booklet and now my math file. I don't know how they dissappear! I am so irresponsible. My mom and dad don't want to give me any locked drawer so my things will be out of reach to my younger siblings. I'm in top class and people have high expectations of me. I think i just came here by luck. People call me wierd. I keep getting into trouble. I don't know what to do... I have no talents and my determination is lost...i don't know how to regain it either...plzzz help me, if you can??? I want to run away already..and cry..

My daughter and I have always had a very loving relationship. I always wanted a little girl and when I got one my life revolved around her.
My pregnancy came at a very bad time in my marriage(now divorced) and I think that made us even closer. We did everything together and she was "my number one girl" I did and still do love her more than anything in the world.
I have tried to allow her to be part of some of the decision making and wanted her to feel like her opinion counted. Something that was NEVER given to me as a child of a single mom. I also have worked very hard to make sure she has the BEST of everything, even though I support her by myself with no help from her father, who which by the way is back in jail for the 3rd time since I left him. He went downhill quick once I left.

My problem is now that my daughter is 11 she acts as if she is an adult and talks back with disrespect and is hateful to me and non affectionate. I have created a monster& need help.

My daughter is very intelligent, always receiving highest honors in scholl. I mention this because it's my opinion thast this has alot to do with why she feels she is always right. When we attempt to discuss a family decision to be made, if she doesn't receive the answer from me that she expects she begins hollering at me, her Father, and it always gets worse from there. She never respects my questions or opinions. My wife, of course her Mother, never interrupts to correct our daughter, and pretty much takes her side. I'm not a mean Father. I have given my daughter everything in her life that I possibly could. I have never spanked her, which I never believed in, and of course, is too old for that at this age even if I did. I honestly don't receive any support from my wife. If anything, she takes my daughter's side. At this point, Ireally like the best thing would be for me to leave for awile, although I'm probably the one that would hurtthe most. Can anyone shed any light on this?

she's 46, and when she's at home, she generally walks arouns in only a t-shirt and a thong. can you imagine how strange it is for me (her son), to sit at home, while my mom's cleaning up, bending over and stretching her butt out in a thong, only a few inches away from my face?
