Family - October 2007

My step children are rude to me quite often, and my husband says it is nothing personal and that it is my imagination. I know differently, however they are his children and if this is way he sees it, I am convenienced that there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. My step daughter just called and when I answered the phone, her dad is still at work, she said something to one of her brothers and just hung up on me. She is 16 and I am not mean to her. Should I tell my husband this happened or just drop it. I feel that this type of thing is driving a wedge between us....don't know what to do here....really!!!

I'm 20, in college in the UK. My Mother and younger brother and sister live in Texas. My mother and I are best friends and talk over the phone once a week. I haven't been able to get into contact with her for a month. I've been told that's she's moved with her boyfriend (Whom I've never met) to Oklahoma and withdrawn my siblings from school and thats she doing drugs now. I've phone the police and U.S embassy and they can't file a missing persons report, known of her friends knows where she is, and I don't know what to do. Is there anyway to find her and my siblings? I'm so scared.

My husband and I just found out that we are going to have another son. Our first son is 2. He says that I'll be the special one in the house because I'll be the only female. Is this true? What is it like for mothers who have only sons? Is their marriage better? Do they get respect in the home? Are they special, since they are the only female in the home? Do they go crazy with constant football games?

Last year she was put in detention for assaulting me. We have been seeing a therapist for over 1 year. She has improved a little but living with her is pure misery. My husband recently ret'd from Iraq and as PTSS. His vehicle was shot at and he was wounded in his temple. She is horrible to him and is trying to provoke him to strike her so she can report him for assault. We are both at our wits end and I myself am on several medications to help me deal with the constant defiance and haughty attitude. We live in VA and belive that we are free of her when she turns 19 or graduates from HS. However, we want her out at 18. What can we do?

Hi, both of my parents are retired and living on fixed incomes. Their not rich but their far from broke. I recently received a $300 dollar gift voucher from work that can be used at 3 specific stores. I can't decide on whether to purchase a PS3 using the voucher or if I should take both of my parents shopping for items they might want instead - what would you do?

Okay I have been with my spouse for 15 years and for some time now we have been arguing like every day and a lot of time it is cause of our 15 year old . She doesn't do anything wrong she is always with me , she helps around the house, helps with her younger siblings. The poor girl doesn't get out much at all either cause of my spouse. All she does is talk on the cell with friends and is on the computer when she is not helping me out around the home, but he'll be all over asking who she is on the phone or he will be looking over her shoulder to see what she is doing on the computer and grilling her.The thing is he thinks she is always up to no good.. He always has he's head in the gutter thinking bad. That is because we have 2 more girls that are 6 and 7 and he even comes out saying stupid things.. He's head is so corrupted that I don't know what more to do . Is this normal ? I can not recall my father being like this with me.. & my daughter is more behave then I was growing up..

My grandmother is very mean. She will never let you talk back to her in a respectful way. She does not like to hear your opinion. She wants to be able to say every word without you responding. Why is this so?

My sil said that she has white and Indian in her family. She does not look like it. I have white and Indian in my family but I look like what I sat that I am. I am not calling her a liar. The truth can be told on what I do know. You can look at some people and tell that they are mixed with something. I believe that my sil is jealous of me. She wants to be something that she is not. She is jealous because she does not look waht she say she is..

I'm getting married next year and the only thing that I am stressing about is the "Father/Daughter" dance. I haven't seen my father is over 10 years and don't plan on ever seeing him again. My question is, for the Father/Daughter dance, what do I do? I have talked to my fiance about this and he says to ask his father if he would dance with me. The only thing about this is that I feel it would be stepping on his sister's toes. That is her father and not mine. I don't have any other male figure in my life. Any suggestions???

I'm 24, will have my 1st baby in Jan. Since I was 14 I resent my parents, they were extremely harsh and tortured me emotionally when O made some mistakes many teens do. The knew I regretted my mistakes and was a good girl, but anyway punished me hardly and for months didn't trust me, though they knew I sincerely regretted my mistakes and their trust was important to me. I pleaded for it but they were unforgiving, a true emotional massacre. When I got it back it wasn't so importabt anymore, I had found people who trusted me, gave me moral support and were emotionally more important to me than my parents. I became old, distant, though I made them proud. Today I'm graduated, hubby and I work, I have a good life, fortunately. But I don't talk to my parents, though they insist and want to be with me when I give birth to my baby a boy. Of course he'll make mistakes, but I'll never do to him what they did to me. Am I wrong in writting off my parents? Some people think so, but it's my right.

My mother-in-law called last night to let me know that she and my father-in-law want to come and help me when my father is near the end. They want to help care for the rest of the family so I can spend time with my dad and not worry about carring for everyone else.
They have saved the money for plane tickets and are standing by waiting to help. By the time I got off the phone I realized how great they really are.

I am having a bday party for my 4 year old at a party place. My brother and his family 5 children didn't respond, my sis in law, 3 children didn't respond by rsvp date. My mother and father in law also did not respond. I tried calling but they didn't return the phone calls (this is typical). We are all on pretty good terms. I have to admit my husband and I are probably not the most punctual with returning phone calls or responding to get togethers. We also didn't call sis in law when her twins turned 9 earlier this month. I am not sure if they are coming and feel they don't have to rsvp because they are family. I have to give the party place a count of children and adults. There are already 17 classmates coming and the extra 8 would be a big differenc (financially). Not sure what to do.

Ok right this week my uncle sent me a birthday card with $200 in it and I forgot to say thank you to him. A few days later my mother starts yelling at me telling me that it was so disrespectful. As a result my mother gave me a bunch of "punishments" such as i cant get my driver's permit this year, I cant close the door to my room etc. My mother and her entire side of the family has always brought a bunch of unneccessary stress into my life and criticize me saying that i have little character and talk about me behind my back thats why i dont like to talk to them or see them . Anyways my mother has told me that I Have to do a list of things write a letter to my uncle call him telling him how I have little character and how i can fix this and how disrespectful I am and apologize and call her everday once I reach home from now on.

Im looking for a sec 8 apt. I am also the caregiver for my father. I have a 17 yr old son and a 13 yr old daughter living w/ me. (separated from their dad). Well my question is, is there any type of quidelines landlords would go by? I thought she would have to have her own room. Now Im dealing w/ low income housing, and they tell me that we have to share a room.
I have no problem sharing w/ my daughter at all. I'm sure she won't always be thrilled about it. ;~(
I'm just curious to know if there is some unwritten law??? about that situation?

The screaming esculated into which the granfather veins were popping out of his neck. There was no phycial contact. My grandson wrapped himself around me in fear. His mother did nothing but watch.

Ok... so my 15 year old sister plays video games... a lot. She pretty much plays from the time she gets home from school until around about 11 at night when she finally decides to do her homework . Oh, on a side note she is getting above average grades in school and is at the top of her class. The thing is, if anyone tries to talk to her about anything besides video games she gets angry and screams or tries to hurt that person. She doesn't always do this, just a majority of the time. Nothing to be worried about, right?
