Family - September 2007

Like with MySpace, most parents are now limiting or blocking it, but, it seems that a lot of ADULTS on here are more than happy to give kids advice on how to go there anyways without their parents knowing.

Parents, your take on this issue?

My daughter hangs around girlfriends that sometimes cuss. Problem is when I say the slightest thing against what she wants to hear I am called a *****? I have gotten mad, expressed my hurt etc... She will not stop it. How can I teach her that she should not talk in this disrespectful manner? How can I understand her?

I have a Step-Mother who has been my "Mother" since I was 4 and I am now 35. She has taught me everything that a woman needs to know and has been there for me growing up even though we didnt have the BEST relationship when i was younger, we now get along great (i am older and more mature and appreciative) and I also have my Mother who left when I was 4 for various reasons (very young, drugs, mostly alchohol). I have struggled my whole life with wanting my Mother in my life no matter what she has done or hasnt done. Time has not changed that any although I have had periods of WTF, why did she leave and why did she stay away? ANYWAYS... To get to the point... This summer, my Mother came home and we visited for three weeks and really got to know each other and she wants to move back to Maine to have a relationship that we both have always wanted, I want that very much too BUT, the burning question is, how do I have a relationship with both MOTHERS and not hurt the others feelings?

I reported my nephew as neglected to the state, because he and the other two children are not being cared for at all really. The youngest is just a baby. The oldest is 3 and cannot talk or go potty. The house is always horrible, like I wont even take off my shoes or use the bathroom there. Anyway, the report was justified.

Now, the state is threatning to remove the children if another report is filed. There are a total of 3 from this weekend. Only one was from me. I have played dumb to the whole thing to save conflict, but he keeps calling and is driving me crazy. Do I just tell him like it is or keep playing dumb as long as I can? This is driving my parents nuts too. Right now they have the oldest child, but are bringing him home as they can no longer deal with it. They are with me 100%.

Advice?

I used to think I was just crazy, there was no way my whole family one one side could just despise me but I feel now i am not crazy.
They all are a bunch of alcholics, drug addicts or are incredibly self consumed people.
The problem is up until now I could handle it, but the older I get. I am now 28 the more it effects me when they hurt me.
So my question is, if you were me would you just completly shut them all out of your life. I know they will never change.

I have a unique living situation. I am 30 years old, single and no kids. I live with my oldest brother (45) and his son (23) in a home. Neither one of us owns the home, its my mother's however it the family home. My problem is this....my brother's girlfriend has moved in. She is 27. Along with her having Grand mal seizures, and a "smart *** mouth" she and my brother have loud sex. Granted I have had my guy over and things got rowdy, but I aplogized for it and took in consideration the noise level the next time. However they are ridiculous. I have to get up at 5:30 a.m. to go to work and this is going on at odd hours of the night. I would much rather hear loud music then the moans and groans of my brother getting his groove on. Its almost like hearing your parents have sex. What should I do? At this point moving out is not an option. I'm not unhappy here. It beneficial for me save money rent, close to family, but this situation is causing havoc on my sleep.

Okay, I was cleaning up the yard a couple of days ago, and I just threw a couple of camping chairs inside the garage ( half way in and half way out). Later my husband went out and shut the garage door and the opener happend to break (it is 13 yrs old and been hit by lightening twice). Any way the garage opener broke and he blamed me for it, which I understand. I said that he should have looked before closing the door, I mean for crying out loud they are neon orange and neon yellow, how can you miss them!!!! Any way we got a new opener. We are not mad at each other or anything. I was just curious...who is to blame...me or my husband?

Do you feel pressure from society on what you should raise your children to become so that they will benefit the society, or do feel that society has nothing to do with it and that you will raise your children in a way that you believe will make them the most happy.
I'm not a parent, since I'm still a teen. I was just curious.

My family loves my brother more than me.No,I'm not being a 10 year old or any emo teenager.It's a fact.And I accept the way it is.The problem is,I just can't really open up to anyone anymore.I just can't,knowing that the sooner any friends of mine or whoever it is gets to know my brother,I would be the one getting left beside.I don't talk with any of my family members,when they're trying to be sweet and stuff,I just reject them,same with other potential friends.And to make things worst,the only person whom I think truly cared for me is not here anymore.She left,for something better I think.And my parents,they have their own problems(please kindly rule them out from any solutions).I'm going to college next year at 16 and any person with a brain will know that it's not a good idea,but it's the only way I get away from everything...and I'm not ready yet.(please also rule my brother out as a solution).He yells at my mother.When his friends are around,he act like a saint to her.

My nan was really ill in may. Had pnuemonia. When she left hospital it was decided that she was too frail to live back at her home alone and went to live with my mum.
My mum has had her for 2 months now and finding it a struggle as mum is disabled herself. Ps she is 84
Mum has called a meeting with me on Weds without nan knowing... really worried she is going to say that she cant look after her alone anymore... I have a small house and 2 kids so i couldnt take her and my sister is in the same situation. Would you encourage your elderly relative to go into assisted accommodation in these circumstances or what would you do?
She would find living alone too hard. She has had previous heart attacks and cant manage the housework alone so living back in her own house isnt an option!

Okay. Almost two years ago my parents split up. Only like a couple of months in our new house, my dad introduces me to this girl he's been taking on dates. I didn't know what to really think of it at first but I wasn't happy with it. She began staying over night in my house when my dad went to work. So I was basically left alone at home at night with a complete stranger. This lady began to stay more and more and before I knew it, we were moving all over again and she was moving in. My dad said I could say yes or no, but I'm a really passive/shy person and he just sort of shoved it upon me. I didn't really want it at the time and I actually said NO. But somehow he weaseled her in and she's lived with us since. I've gotten to know her since then and she's a bit weird. But the bad thing is whenever I want to talk to my dad alone about something, I can't. She is ALWAYS there and it's like she knows I wanna talk about something private with him. But I can't anymore.

My significant other has a 14 yr. old daughter, I have a 14 yr. old son. We are thinking about living together, but I just don't know how much hassle it's going to be with his daughter going back and forth every other week. He adores her, so presently she gets all his attention the week she's around (because we're in separate houses, we rarely see him, and hardly ever see her the week he has her), and her parents seem to compete with each other to keep her happy and entertained (holidays, vacations are split or have to be negoiated with the other parent). Already the kids don't like each other, so my question is: will this just be too much for me and my son? (I'm widowed.)
