Family - September 2007

I sent my cousin (she's 41) a few photos of us ages ago, and not once did she even have the decency to reply. Each time she sends/emails me photos of her, I eagerly thank and welcome them. Now my mum wants to send her a handmade card with photos of her when she was a child. I said to her,"But she hasn't even answered our photos yet from a year ago". Do you think my mum is being too nice, because I certainly wouldn't send her a card like that when she rarely appreciates/acknowledges my communication with her.

Oh, and a kitchen.

I already thought of 'pulling the emotional heart strings'...but exactly HOW?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

She offered to take my daughter in since I'm seperated from my husband and I also like to go out and have fun not to mention the fact that very recently started hooking up with this guy at my job and he spends the night at my house often. My mom says it's not good for my daughter to see me with another man besides my husband. Plus, it's hard having to do everything by myself, so I'm really considering it. Should I or is being selfish?

My 14 year old son came in the other night dressed as a female with make-up, a wig, a mini-skirt, in full womens dress. I am a very old fashioned, traditional person. I dont like girly boys or crossdressers. I want my son to be a masculine man. When he came in I shouted "what the hell do you think you are doing?" and he said it was girls night out at the club. I threatened to ground him for a year and he called me a close-minded redneck piece of sh*t that will never be worth anything. I gave him an old fashioned beating with my belt and it left a small mark on him. He called the police, and I was arrested that night, and my son said things like "stupid dumba$$ redneck is going to the cage with the other animals" all the way out the door. the police did nothing in response to my sons behavior. I am out of jail now, and there is no restraining order to my knowledge. what should I do? My son told me I will never change him. My wife(who I love dearly) and him currently live alone

He has become aggressively disrespectful, not only to family, but also to peers in his social circle. He doesn't attend school regularly. Nor does he listen to any authoritative figures. He is using POT and alchohol. Recentely I discovered that perscription pills are being experimented with amongst his friends. He won't do what is asked of him. & when I discipline him, he blatentely defies me. I've reached the point of physically trying 2 pound the right back into his mentality & his decision making. I am a single divorced parent & I have three other kids, all his elders. Never have I had 2 resort 2 using physical force (abuse) with his siblings. There is a concern that this direction is only going to land me in jail along with everything that acompanies these type of offenses. My financial resources r already at capacity level & I reluctantely feel myself giving up on him. I already have continuos interruptions at work about his inability 2 get off 2 school. Or from the school staff.

My mother is very emotional and sensitive. Then, she has a big ego and thinks that she is always right.

My daughter (age 15) and I are staying with her temporarily. She asked me to move out and says "the sooner, the better" on Sunday.

She told my daughter today that she is tired of my "attitude." I don't know what I have done to her.

She cries for no reason and is rude and snappy with me. Then, she blames me for everything.

I know that my daughter and I have to move out soon. My daughter sees that she "uses and abuses" me.

I feel bad that she said negative things about me to my daughter.

How should I handle her in the meantime?

What is wrong with not joining family gathering? Teenagers need space from their families. Also, everyone is different. Some people like family gatherings and some don't. We all like different things. It is the same as some people like baseball, some don't. Some people like boxing and some people don't. What is wrong with us liking to do different things? If the teenagers are 15, shouldn't parents give that choice to the teenagers. They are 15 not 5.

The old saying fish and guests tend to both stink after three days doesn't really apply since it is family.

My husband will be deploying for Baghdad sometime between November and December. The situation is that my father and step-mother are pressuring me to come out and visit them.

The holidays are basically out the window now as we can't be sure what day specifically he will deploy (the military changes dates a lot and can't be reliable). So I mentioned to dad about coming out in the next month before he leaves,with the new baby. He said he doesn't want to see the baby and wants me to bring my older daughter but he is so small I can't leave him with dad even. I have two babies (18 month old daughter, and 4 month old son) and it is impossible for me to fly there alone with them both. I explained all that to him and he acted weird. Truth be told, I want to get the visit out of the way because once my husband deploys I won't be able to fly and I can't understand why it's so hard for them to hop on a plane and come see us. My step-mom is a trouble maker but I ignore it, so what to do???????

My mother in law has always been a pain. Lately though she has been worse. We asked her to let the plumber into our apartment when we were working. When I got home that day from work she had snooped through our home including bathroom and bedroom and preceeded to tell me how dirty my home was, how cluttered, how I don't have the right cleaning supplies, how my laundry isn't sorted right , my beds weren't made and on and on! This is a weekday when both of us work. I was appauld by this! This isn't the first time this has happened either. She wants to control our lives right down to the day I do my grocery shopping. She tells me she is so upset because I don't go on Thurs when the store has sales! i go when I have time and when I CAN! Does anyone know what to do in this case and is this crazy or am I overreacting?

Today he gave my sister this big lecture about how sacred marriage is and how its important for kids to not be born out of wedlock. Which is fine but my dad has been married 5 times. And he has seven kids and apparently he takes pride in never concieving a child out of wedlock, my mom divorced him before my brother was born so they were not married when he was born. Now granted for the most part he praticed what he preached but how can a man on his 5th wife that cant stay married for more then 6 years preach to someone else about how sacred marriage is? I told her she should have laughed in his damn face.

I have a nephew that hates his younger brother because he is a good kid and is really active in sports. So he walks up to him, calls him the "golden child" and punches him right in the face. Now my younger nephew is threatening to run away because he can't deal with it. Would you have called the cops on your older son? Isn't it still considered accessory to child abuse if you don't report it? If you were at your wits end with the problem child...wouldn't you just want to call the cops and hope it teaches him a lesson?

When I was a child I thought I would die if I didn't see my parents every day. Now I find it strange that I don't have the same relationship with them that I used to. They only live down the road so I see them heaps but I just don't feel like the connection is there like it used to be. It seems like once I had children of my own everything changed. Do other people find that or have my parents and I just gotten lazy with each other?

My mom and my younger sister (15) are best friends. -So totally BFF!- That's not me. I like doing things myself and don't have to be talking to someone every second, like they do. I've told them many times that my not talking is not necessarily my being mad, upset or angry - they always say it is, it's not. I get in trouble or yelled at or grounded for it, and it really is starting to piss me off. Anything I say to my mom makes her mad, a lot when we talk about this kind of thing. How am I supposed to deal with this??? I don't need constant attention like they do and I get punished for it???
