Family - September 2007

generally speaking (so special cases are excluded)do you treat your friend's/brother's (inlaws included)/son's etc's... girlfriend equal to as if she was his legal wife?...I mean I'd call the wife on her birthday/newborns/new house to congratulate, I'd visit her and try to build a good relationshipwith her if she's willing to as well, I'd send her presents on necessary occasions whereas I dont see it necessary to do these for a girlfriend as I dont take her as seriously as a wife, are you the same?

I am 15 yrs girl and I have an issue with my brother. We are sharing the same room even though he is given a separate room. He has developed the habit of sleeping in the same bed with me. One way I did the mistake of pampering him too much. Now I feel I am grown big I need to be away from him. He could not understand why I need my privacy. He is still a kid and fights with me to sleep in the same bed and share every thing like before. I do not want to involve my parents in it, because they might shout at him. I like him very much and want to teach him why I need privacy. How can I do this?

I knew this when we met. Is it wrong of me to hate to deal with the whole baby mama drama? His son is really disrepectful towards me i try my hardest to be nice to him however he likes to name call me ex cow, *****, etc. He really misbehaves when he comes over to my apartment sometimes even kicking my dog when we are in a store he runs around the store like a maniac and wont listen. If i try to correct him my Bf gets mad at me and tells me let him do what he does hes a kid! Several times hes even hit his dad! We were at a wedding 3 days ago and i got yelled at by someone who works on the ship he told me that i should be watchin my son that hes running around like crazy unatained i was speechless i literally started to stutter i believe i swallowed my tongue! My Bf wants me to play a momie role but i cant have any saying in discipling his son i just feel like this is not my responsiblity and to be honest it s to the point that i just really hate being around his son. Anyone with advice

I'm 18, 19 in october. I'm from Puerto Rico so I think I'm legal in the U.S. Well I'm planning "running away from home" but I'm gonna turn 19 soon so I'm already an adult so I think that is not running away but just moving. I wanna move to LV to live with my boyfriend, but I know for sure that If i ask my mom she wont let me go even if I'm 23. I'm happy with my family, I don't have any problems with them, i just want to do something new and different with my life and well i wanna move with my bf to LV like in january or february. But i'll leave in secret. no one of my family should know this cause they wont let me go ever. so the question is, If i move to LV and my mom call the cops to look for me, they can't bring me back home right? cause I'm the only one that can make that decision cause I'm an adult already, right?......

My husband and I have been together as a couple for 7 years, married for 5 with two small children. My MIL and SIL are STILL gossiping about me and making hurtful comments to and about me. Worst of all, they constantly compare our children to the SIL's children - in front of the kids! How do I handle this?

We've tried confronting them nicely - I've even gotten steaming mad a few times. Nothing changes. The holidays are coming up - I'm already dreading it. The drama..

I treated my family to Popeye's for lunch, & my cousin ate my food & treated me like crap in FRONT of my face, WHILE eating MY food that "I" paid for. She said I'm a worthless nobody. So, later on in the day her dad (my uncle) invited me to spend the weekend. I said no. He said, "Why?" I sarcastically said, "Your daughter is gonna make me hurt her." & he said, "& U WILL GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL!" I said, "I was just joking." & he said, "I was joking, too! But come & spend the weekend." When I drove off, my brother said, "He wasn't joking. He was serious." I didn't even ask for his input. & then he said my uncle was talking DRUNK talk by inviting me to spend the weekend since he's an alcoholic. In my town, we jokingly say we're gonna hurt other people when we don't mean it when they do something foolish. I'm not violent & I fear the consequences of violence. But my cousin got into a fight with a neighbor & her dad didn't press charges, even though my cousin was like14 at the time.

reasons to take care of age old parents

2007-09-08 18:58:38 · 8 answers · asked by bianca d 1

I've always had this plan that I wanted to have be a young mother simply because my mother had me at a decently young age (21 to be exact) and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I see that it was a growing process for the both of us and right now as she's heading out of her "midlife crisis" I'm so glad it didn't happen when I was a kid or when I was in high school. I'm turning 22 this February and I feel ready to settle down and start a family. But my family is telling me that it is nearly impossible for me to do that straight out of college. That I need to have myself "established" and "secure."

My boyfriend and I have talked seriously about getting married and having kids "someday" but I haven't really specified when to him. How should I go about telling him or should that even be a concern of mine? Am I an idiot for wanting this?

I have 3 sisters (1 older, 1 younger, 1 my identical twin) & my parents let my older and younger sisters have their own rooms but make my twin & me share!!! We can't stand each other and always have these huge fights about touching each others' stuff. My older sister and my twin are really close and would love sharing a room but my parents won't let them do it because they think 'it would cause problems' even though my twin & I already have major issues with each other. They also think that because we're twins we'll be able to work anything out, BUT WE CAN'T. What should I do???!!!

I am tutoring a sweet but somewhat slow kid in math. I got the job through a teacher’s recommendation and Billy has already improved a whole grade. Others before me were not so successful, but Billy and I have found the right approach.

But now that we are making progress and Billy’s dad is contemplating to have me help in other subjects too, he asks a lot of questions about me. He is however very judgmental and prejudiced. I don't doubt, that he’ll fire me, if I tell him that I am a minor living without parents in a somewhat unsavory neighborhood and paying my own bills.

I don’t want to loose this job, not only because Billy’s father pays handsomely. If he knew my background he would also make a ruckus at school about my tutoring and being a bad influence. He’ll probably scare off some of my other students. Also, Billy will certainly fall behind again, and he worked so hard.

So should I invent a nice average family life for myself or tell it like it is, no matter the consequences?

My fiance and iare due to be married in october and are both very excited.... But my fiance's sister in law has issues (to many to type here) she is driving me crazy she is always "playing the victim" and has a constant "woe is me" complex. we were friends until a conversation we had got me soooo frustrated i had to tell her "i cant talk to you about this anymore i have to go" in a firm and authorative manner. and hung up the phone. now when we speak it is very strained she is to be my matron of honor in less than 6 weeks and is neglecting every duteis MOH's are supposed to do. I'm not really sure what my question is i guess i need to know how you deal with someone like this she is going to be a part of my family and my fiance does not have a big family so what little he has i want him to keep even if she does make me want to grab my hair and scream. Just thinking about her makes me itch.....should i just let her do her thing and restrict our convos to the weather??

I always here about how someones Mom was an alcoholic for years.
Or someones father sexually verbally and/or physically abusive to them when they were young.
One thing that I never hear about is a family where when one grows up, there is a good nurturing structure where the children love and feel loved.
Therefore do better in life because of it.
Most achievers are either workaholics. Some earn success and some steal it.
Then there are some that are so damaged from their childhood, they can barely function.
So are there people out there that grew up in a healthy environment?

My mom just visited, I didn't even get to see her for ten minutes. She was crying and telling me how her stupid boyfriend threw her cat out the window of the car because they got in a fight, that bastard! Now she has no where to go, she does not live with me..My dad is like satan and wont let her into this house. No one understands what I'm going through right now, I am so sad.
I have a lot of family problems, too.
I just miss my mom the most because she's the only one that cares enough to listen to me. I don't know what to do anymore..

How can I through this without killing myself?..

okay, i dont get along with my parents. my mother use to try attack me but i would always stop her and my dad would just stand there and not protect me. we would get in fights because i defend myself when she tells me i cant do something or calls me names. and once because i wouldnt giver her my check. anyways, over the years i have lost respect for both of them. I am very religious and am really involved in church. I am the only one in my family who is and I tried teaching my 6 yr old sis some prayers and she loved it, then I suggested they enroll her in cathecism and they blew up in my face and said they don’t need no help or anything from me and my opinion does not matter. By now comments like that don’t affect me cause they always say it.
