Family - August 2007

A while ago my daughter came home from her weekend at her dad's house and literally explained to me how her dad makes "blunts" with "weed". My daughter is 5yrs. old. No 5 year old should know what weed or blunts are. She also stated that he smokes it in front of her with his friends. We are going to court on this coming friday. She also watches rated R movies over there which she named off for me (Kill Bill, Black Christmas & House of Wax). I have seen none of these movies, but am 99% sure that it is nothing a 5 year old should be seeing.

My parents bought me a car, my computer, my video games, my furniture, hopefully a new computer. I barely buy anything out of my own pocket. Everyone else i know have jobs, and buy their t.vs, or cars. Sometimes i feel like im spoiled. I'm 16 btw. and no job.

Whenever I am at my fiances house, I am always surrounded by lots and lots of cigarette smoke. His mother smokes, as well as his brother, sister-in-law, and many friends that are over at the house at the same time that we are. I am very sensitive to the smoke, to the point where I can have a bad headache for days after I leave their house. When I am in the setting, I sit off to the side because I can't handle the smoke, and I am called "anti-social" but I tell them I just don't like the smoke, but yet nothing changes.
I am at the point where if they don't take it outside when I am at their house, I will stop going to visit. The smoke makes me feel nauseous, very short of breath, and gives me terrible headaches.
How can I ask them to take the smoking outside without being rude? I feel as if I am telling them to get out of their own house. I respect smokers rights to smoke, but I also feel that I have rights as well, and don't want to be around it all the time.

My father is very weird. My daughter who is 15 is living with me now. She had lived with her Dad from age 10 to 15 and us both before that.

Well, now he tries to dominate and take over her life. He tries to act like her father. He is very irritating to both my daughter and I.

I have to tell him to back off and not be so pushy.

He also tries to tell everyone that he is a professor. So what?

He wants to petition the school so that my child has a bus since she will now go to a school farther away from the home.

He also looks at dirty websites and my daughter saw him doing that. I have told him to please be careful because there is a child in the house.

His intents may be good, but he does not control his mouth at times and is very controlling just like my ex-husband.

I am also disgusted with his Internet habits.

What can I do except talk with him or just ignore him?

He's 22, I'm 27. It's so hard to have lucid conversations about emotional topics because he blows his top before you even finish your say. Sat. night he calls upset about a big problem with school. He asks, ASKS, what I think, what to do. I ask clarifying questions and start to talk. I don't even get to FINISH as he thinks I'm b!tching at him and hangs up on me. I call back, leave a message about growing up (reference to the hang up) and taking responsibility w/out lashing out on others trying to help. He calls back (I don't think he got the message yet) and proceeds to CURSE at me for being the "superior older sister." I hang up, I don't need this abuse. He seeks me out when it's too late, doesn't like what I have to say even when I try to be sensitive, and makes me the bad guy. Funny since he always accuses me of being too nice to people. I'm flying home from out of state for the weekend and don't know what to do, what to tell our parents if he refuses to see me, I'm so fed up!

My mom and I have been fighting for years. I am 16 and she often gets angry at me for talking back or being fresh. I will admit that I am not a perfect angel - I have started SOME of these fights and sometimes fight back or swear at her, too. She has told me she hates me, but on the "good days" she denies she has said that. Now, she makes sure that she tells me "You deserve every bad thing that happens to you...when you're like this" or "you are an embarassment to our family...when you're like this." She does hit me a lot, and not on the hand or butt, but on the arm multiple times once after I got a blood test on the same arm, and across my face REALLY HARD (once so hard that I blacked out in one eye for a moment). On the day of the blood test, when I hadn't eaten all morning, she threatened to drive me home the long way so I couldn't eat at all. She also threatened to postpone my driver's test, yet refuses to drive me anywhere I want to go to "teach me a lesson." I can't deal. HELP!

My coworker was too shy to come her so I told her I'd ask this for her. Her 2 children, daughter 13 and son 11, have a conflict over the issue of friends. The son is kind of shy and sometimes has trouble making friends, while the daughter is more outgoing and finds making friends easy. For the past few years when the son has made a friend, the daughter will often get involved and the son's friend will push him aside to be friends with the daughter. It usually happens when he has the friend at the house, and she finds common ground between them in different areas than the son, so they push him aside. It really hurts him when this happens, and he won't bring friends over unless the daughter isn't home. My coworker is worried because she wants to know who his friends are. She wants to intervene somehow but doesn't know how, while her husband thinks they should sort it out between themselves. What is a good way to handle this?

What I mean by close is that we can talk about anything together, and we've seen each other naked before. We've seen each other's penises before and we're not ashamed being naked in front of each other. Like one time my dad was getting dressed in the bathroom and I had to take a shower so I just came in, stripped, and entered the shower while he changed. And if I have a question about my body I go to him instead of here sometimes. We never "touch" each other or do anything sexual, but does anything think we're too close?

she keeps doing this. Coming over all the time unannounced, especially during our dinner time.I think my husband should tell her. Its his mother, and she doesn't listen to me she always cuts me off all the time to tell her stories or theories. I will be just ganged up on if I do it myself. She always chooses to say these things while my husband is out of town.
P.S. He gave his mom a key to our home so she could just barge in whenever she wants..should i change the locks?
my parents have a key but live 500 miles away, they always call and when I lived near them they never came over un announced we were not raised to be obtrusive and pushy people.

any help is appreciated..

At 28 he's single and still lives with me and my wife! But, contrarily to what my question may suggest, he doesn't live at my expenses. He's a brilliant engineer, has an excellent job and contributes a lot to our expenses, actually more than I do, to be honest. But I'd like privacy with my wife, now that our 2 kids are grown up and don't need us anymore. He's a good boy, but we never got along, his ideas are different from mine, sometimes he makes me mad, he doesn't do as I tell him He lives with us becaus my wife gets along with him and though his professional success he didn't feel the need to leave home, he doesn't think it's degrading. Once I suggested he should move out, he just said "OK, if you want I can leave tomorrow, I'll spend some days in an hotel until I'm settled. I must say you, of course, won't count on my contribution any more". So, I backed off. What can I do?

Ok i know i posted this question before but i just want people to tell me how the sentence makes them feel. Thanks.

Ok, if YOU were looking through a magazine, just a normal magazine. Then you came across and advert it was a family having there family photo taken, the dad is sitting on a leather chair and the mum is sitting on the arm of the same chair (Which my parents moan at me for doing that) and there is a girl standing behind them, she is smiling. You think that's a nice family, then you look to the right a bit and see the same girl looking sad, she is peering over the happy girls shoulder. It's not her twin sister it is her hidden inner self.

Under the picture it says in capitals "IF YOU'VE BEEN PHYSICALLY ABUSED, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE IT ANY MORE."


How does that sentence make you feel, please give a strong descriptive answer. Thanks. Just tell me how the sentence makes u feel nothing else (just incase you forgot).
