My husband, my son and I recently moved in with my mother in law, in an effort to save for a mortgage (it's impossible to rent and save when you live in the south of England). We will be here for approx 2 years. We are in the process of giving up smoking but have always smoked outside, away from our son. She has always smoked in the house and though she usually asks him to leave the room while she smokes, I know that smoke can linger in a room for up to 2 and a half hrs. His clothes smell as a result and my dad has offered to dress him before he takes him to school at his house, but this doesn't help at weekends. He is 5 and knows it is bad for him to breathe it in and, like my dad, is anti smoking but still wants to play with his Nan, but she spends most of her time in her living room (ours is separate). I want to encourage her to smoke outside as the smoke still gets round the house, but I don't know how to ask, after all it's her house. She's not always approachable. Any ideas?

My step mom receives social securtiy checks for my disabled sister but she does not take care of my sister. My little sister lives with me and I take care of her. I don't have custody of her but since my step mom lost her leg, she's also diabled for now. so she lives with her mother and my sister lives with me. I've had my sister for the past 2 years. ever since I got married. And I have yet to see a penny from that SSi check. What should I do? I'm the one struggling to pay the bills and she's ordering QVC almost all the time. That's what makes me mad. AS for my dad, he doesn't live with any of us. He lives on a ranch where he works. So that's why I have my sister.

My mom has 5 kids total, my brother and I are grown up and moved out years ago but the other 3 are aged 9-15. My mom is married to a in my opinion horrible husband/father. She has wanted to leave him for years but never graduated high school and can't get a job that isn't at a retail store. She once tried to go back to school but he made her feel guilty about not staying home with the kids. He ignores my younger siblings when he gets home from work and always puts my mom down and makes her feel worthless. She is back in my hometown and my brother and I moved to another state. I want to help her but I don't know how. She has no other family to support her and she says she can't move out here because its too expensive (my brother and I told her we would help if she moved here because we can't move back home). What can I do to help her? I am best friends with her and talk to her all day everyday but its beginning to seem like its not enough. Please help!

My mom died 7 years ago so my dad is all I have left. He can't stand my 3 kids. He lives in Florida (I live in Wisconsin) and is coming up in a couple days. He only talks about hisself or his cats, he is not interested in my life at all. He has never really been a hands on dad. I am just not sure how to handle it anymore, my children don't need a grandpa that says get off of me more than he says give grandpa a hug. My oldest has tried to talk to him and he won't even acknolwedge her. It is easier to say tell him off than do it. How can I cope without being drunk for a week?

I am 21 and still wet the bed periodically. My girl friend of course knows about my problem and has been discrete. I generally wear a disposable diaper when I stay over anywhere. I was at her parent's house and it leaked badly. Her mother was polite, but needless to say, her entire family now knows and her younger brothers have humiliated me at a party at her house by announcing to anyone they saw that Lindsey's boy friend pissed up one of our beds.

I'm 15, get along with my parents. I'm a good student and have never got in any trouble. I have many activities, play sports, volunteer for social activities, take courses. Last weekend my dad and my lil bro was on a trip. Friday I had so many things in my head that I messed up, I came home a bit late for lunch, lost my cell phone, did some crazy stuff. Saturday morning mom told me I wasa cting without thinking and would be grounded. It was a shock, it's more than 4 years I haven't been grounded. Ok, Friday I messed up, made mistakes but not moral mistakes. She treated me with much love, we talked, I noticed she wanted to stay w/ me. By 4 pm she gave me a big hug, said she had been selfish, there was no reason to ground me and apologized. She was kinda confused, saying things that didn't make much sense. She went to her room and I know she cried a lot. I'm worried, what is going on w/ her? Her actions weren't normal. I'm not angry just kinda worried.

My son is 5 years old. He saw his dad maybe 12-15 times total. The last time was about 10 months ago. He is aware of who he is, but did not have a bond with him on a day-to-day basis. However, he has created a "bond" with his dad in his head...idolizing him and speaking proudly of his dad (he refers to him by his first name followed by dad...e.g. "my Brian dad") We have not talked about his dad in about 1-2 months, and he has not asked about him recently. My question is, should my son attend the service? He will be cremated.

Ok, my SIL (we will call Jane) got knocked-up & my brother married her. Jane had nothing to her name before getting prego. He has made a life for them & have since moved closer to HIS mom (we share the same Dad, but not the same Mom). Over the period of 5 years, Jane has molded into the spitting image of my brother’s mother (his mom & now Jane think they are high-class, hob-knobbing, snobby, stuck up, bitches etc…). His mother has always been that way, but since Jane didn’t have any friends (ever) she only has her mother-in-law as a companion. I have even nick-named her “Mini-Me” b/c she acts JUST LIKE her MIL!!! They even have MATCHING CARS!! The thing is, Jane forgot where she came from (her mom is a druggy & her dad is in prison). Anyhoo – She talks crap about me to my brother’s mom ALL THE TIME. My other brother’s wife (whom is nothing like her & I get along w/ just great – We’ll call her Tiffany) has overheard Jane & the mother-in-law talking about me.

I have a younger 14 yr old sister. Growing up she has always been very annoying. She would pester my friends when they came over, she takes my things without asking, she loses and damages my things, she has absolutely no respect, she plays really loud music when i'm trying to sleep, and the list goes on and on and on... So because of all this I admit I have been very rude to her most of my life. I have treated her like the annoying little sibling she acts like. I have ignored her at times thinking that would be the best option. But now I feel like she has turned on me because of this. I really do love and care about her but I feel like she actually hates me. She glares at me, ignores me when I ask her to do things, tells me mean, hurtful things, and even gets pleasure out of making me cry. I have even tried to make things better with her. I've tried to take her out, I've written her thoughtful notes but nothing seems to work. Do you think this is payback or do you think it's a phase?

My mom and I had an unpleasant discussion about this. I owe a lot of money on credit cards and get collection calls, and she says I deserve it and whatever mean things they say I should just... take. I think people shouldn't feel "guilty" and deserving harassment from collectors if their lives change enough that they can't arrange for even debt counseling. I think knowing you're in debt and will pay for it in years to come is punishment enough, and guilt is more well put when someone directly suffers because of an action. How do you define guilt?

Fathers have no rights when it comes to family law. I thinks its wrong for a woman to have an abortion without first having consent from the father since the two of them created the life. And what if the father wanted the child instead of the mother should she give birth and give custody to the father in unwed situations? Should mothers have to show reciept of child support expendatures, instead of getting a free check every month? Roe vs. Wade should be overturned or an ammendment to it. If you disagree I would be intrigued as to why.

This applies to fathers as well so as not to stereotype any gender.

Ok, so about a year ago, my mother did something deplorable. Let me give you a little background. My mother was sexually abused as a child, so she grew up hating men. At a very young age, she would tell my sisters and me that men were dirty and only wanted one thing. She told us not to trust men beacause they had urges.So when I had a daughter she told me not to let him change her or bathe her because men have urges and it did not matter that it was his daughter. So for those of you that have had a baby girl, you know what happens when they poop, it gets everywhere and you gott get in there to get it out. So she saw him doing that and freaked out! He was only cleaning her, she had a really messy daiper. She called CPS on him, the charges were dropped. She got in trouble for making false charges. Now, after a year, she wants to be at the birthday party my in laws are throwing for her. They would not shun her, but should I allow her to be there?

I caught my son (senior in high school) smoking weed. It was late last night - I told him to go to bed because he has school - and we will talk about it after school.

What should I say/do?

Option 1)
Ground him - but I'm pretty sure he'll rebel and do it again later. I really don't like this option - because I remember when I was a kid - I'd do it 10 time as much to get back at my parents.

Option 2)
Control as much of the situation as I can (Ie: no driving, etc). He gets good grades and has a parttime job - so he is not a failure and not lazy. So I'm thinking that 1) I do not let him drive except to work and school and 2) Tell him he can do what he wants UNLESS his grades drop.

I smoked a little when I was young - and still went to college and got a degree and a good job. Thankfully stopped smoking - as I expect he will too. Being high just made me paranoid, self conscious, hungry and horny - still don't understand the lure - it's not a good state to be in!

I was almost 5 mos preg. when I met my husband. My Ex was still trying to grow up and did not want the baby I was carrying at that time. He has since decided he wants to see her. She is now 7 yrs old. I have over the years kept contact with them.(his mom and dad). I would not even consider letting them see her or meet her , but there is partiallity shown between her and her 5 year old sister. She has asked questions about why her sister gets things and she doesn't? I have her in counseling because she is acting out and her psychiatrist says DO NOT tell her. I am so afraid she will find out from someone else. What do I do?
