I feel sad because my 15 year old daughter has to witness too much drama. She was living with her father from age 10 to 15.

She now lives with me and my parents and I am moving out this weekend.

She has had to adjust to a new school, state and living environment and now will have to adjust again.

She also has to deal with my problems with my mother who is emotionally immature and my father is very aggressive and dominating like my ex-husband.

I feel bad because she has not had a "normal" childhood with both parents working together for the good of the house and family.

My ex-husband wanted us to reunite as a family, but I could not go back to his controlling and manipulative ways and for that reason my child has to suffer?

My parents woke us 4 up every morning about 6 am (in the summer when we had no school), had us out working on the "fish farm" for about 6 hours a day. We had to bag bait, box worms.... get this, they literally paid us a nickel a box/bag... we also had a list of chores that was to be completed on the weekends... mow the 8 acres, pick up the horse mess, dishes, laundry, etc... I have kids now 16 and 10 and they barely will unload the dishwasher without a huge fight... just wondering if anyone else had to work like this when they were kids...i think they had us for cheap labor....

When you were younger did you ever have to see your siblings in the buff?

My husband and I have to be away overnight and my 16 year old son will be left home. We are both high school teachers and the pupils we teach live in our hometown. My concern is that if we leave my son 'home alone' that he might get some unwanted visitors and could experience some difficulty from the 'boy racers' who park in droves opposite our house. This difficulty could range from simple noise nuisance to a forced entry into the house. Even if he was to call the police, policing is sparse in our town and he would not have immediate assistance. For this reason, I have asked a relative to spend the night here and now he feels that it is a matter of betrayal and that we don't trust him. It is not that at all! What do you think?

My 15 year old daughter and I are currently living in her house. We will be moving out soon.

However, in the meantime my mother says goodbye and hello to my daughter but completely ignores me.

She is also pushing me to move out. I also found an e-mail that she was going to send me listing all of my "bad" points in her opinion. She also said how I should cook, clean and do more in the house. I do help her out, but am now turned off because she is pushing me to help and has the audacity to think of writing an e-mail with 10 points of how I have to change.

I don't know how to deal with her except to ignore her and count the hours until I move.

my mum left my dad when I was born as he abused her and was a drunk. I've never met him but he still asks my nan about us. Now, I need to get something from him - I need to get a passport under his nationality - to do this I need details from him and for him to sign a statement that I am his daughter, as he didn't sign the birth register.
has anyone got any ideas on the best approach?

Nursery is so expensive and his dad would love to stay at home with him during the day. The thing that worries me is he loves playing with other kids but his dad can take him to playgroups and parent and baby things cant he? What do you parents out there think is for the best? We are in the same financial situation wether our son is at nursery or my partner works as nursery is so expensive. He is such a good dad as he has grown up around kids because his parents were foster carers.

Thanks for the help

I'm asking because I have a 14 yr old little sis and she is driving me insane! She is constantly giving everyone attitude, she always thinks everyone is against her, and if you even look at her wrong she will blow up in your face. Living with her is very difficult. I know I went through a stage like this but I don't remember it being that severe. What age does this behavior usually calm down in teenage girlsl?

Please help. A few months ago my gran who is in her 70's got the 'wrong end of the stick' about me - she accused me of picking my dad over my mum (parents been divorced 20 yrs) I have NEVER done this but it caused a MAJOR fall out. Things are getting better between mum and me now but we didn't talk for 3 months....I still have alot of resentment toward her and gran but trying to work it out with my mum. As for gran, she still hates me. she hung up on me 3 times. I won't call her again as I feel after the way she has treated me for no reason it is her that should call me. She also badmouthed me at a recent family do which I didn't attend because of the atmosphere. How can I forget about this? Its eating me up. I am married with a little boy that she has hardly seen. I feel like I've lost my gran through no fault of mine, but I won't make the first attempt at contact as she has hurt me so much previously...

My husband is in the AF reserve. He received an order to do a War Readiness Exercise in Keesler Mississippi. I asked him if my son & I can go with him but he said no, he might now be able to see us or even spend time with us if we all go because they are going to do the exercise at the Gulf Port in Mississippi. I still think that we could go and maybe stay somewhere within the area so that we could all be together. How does this exercise work?? How come he said that we cannot go with him? Can anyone tell me or give me some advise on this? Thanks!

he says the rules for him were different when he was younger. It involves rules about his 16yr old sister staying at her boyfriends house. He says he had to wait 1 year before i would let his girlfriend stay.. Yes.. cos she was only 15 and i have younger children at home too. My daughter was going to stay at her b`friends house to avoid it being too obvious here and she only has a tiny bedroom anyway. My son caused hell at home, turned his music up full blast, woke his younger brothers, swore at me on the phone and said he wont be paying me any more rent till i change my mind. I will not be held to ransom by him. what gives him the right to tell me how to run my house? My house, my rules.He is much bigger than me so physically making him leave is impossible. This is not the first time he had disrupted the household. He held his sister up against the wall by her neck in the past. I want him to leave.. he is working full time and he is upsetting the family home.. How do i go about it?

I found out that my dad wasn't my biological father a few years ago,my mum died few years before that. My parents always treated my sister better than me. I was emotionally starved and rejected by them my whole life.
My dad wont tell me anything about my real father, not interested in helping me at all.
Now my sister is wth my kids dad. I argued with my sister over it and now my dad has dismissed me from his life until i make up with her.
I don't understand why he has done this, my kids are devastated and to make it worse their grandad has turned his back on us.
I feel that, now my mum isn't here, he would just prefer it if me and my kids disappeared.
I feel like going to him and telling him how we feel and what he has done to us or write him a letter. When it was just me that he rejected i could cope, but now its my kids.
He is taking my sisters side and i don't understand why?
What would you do about it if you were me?

I have an 11-year-old daughter. She is from a previous marriage. Her father has a long list of arrests for dui's and everyone knows he does drugs also. He has been out of her life since she was almost 6 months old. He came to a friend of my and my present husbands New Years Eve this year. Still don't know how he knew where we were. My daughter was with us. He tried to start a fight (he was drunk) and I made him leave. Anyway, on the divorce papers state I have sole custody and care of her due to visitation to him. He was supposed to pay $44.00 a week child support. He hasn't paid any. I want to know if he has any rights and if so what are they. He has been out of her life for so long, no contact, and no child support. He hasn't paid it for just over 10 years. I live in Alabama. Does anyone know what I can do? Does he have any rights anymore?

He is moving in with me and she is trying to make him feel guilty by telling him if he chooses me he is ruining his family, accusing him of lying, telling him he can come back home but he has to never see or speak to me again, telling him she hates him and I will never be welcome in her home. I want to get along with her but she is making it next to impossible. He told her he loves me and she will just have to get over it.

Many times I have seen my brother/father pinch/shift/adjust their privates in public - sometimes right in front of me! Why do they do this?
Why am I expected to look away (mom tells me to)? - Why cant i stare just like men do?
What do they adjust? The 'balls' or the 'rod'?
Is this a comfort issue or something sexual/manly to do?
Do they do it because they have a erection or even limp ones need to be moved?
Also do all men have a 'erect*ion' when they wake up in the morning - I have seen a few obscene 'tents' made by my brother in the morning... Hee Hee!!!
I dont see any of us adjusting our breasts/panty like that LOL..! And i am sure men will not look away if we do!!!!!
