Family - October 2007

My mom did receive a little bit of child support but not much. He owes a ton, not sure how much and my mom has always told me that she was scared for her life to go after him for it. Is there any way possible for me to go after my dad for this money and to keep my mom out of it. Of course it would go to her. Not sure how to do this without including her... you know?

My mil has been very rude to me during my marriage to her son. She has compared me to her daughter. She has compared herself to my own kids. When I am around her she tries to be so nice to me when she knows she has done me so wrong. I try my best to get along with her. She loves reading biblical books. So I go on the Internet and give them to her. When we are around each other she always says off the wall things to me. She waits to say these things when noone is around. What can I say to defend myself around her?

My husband and I are thinking of moving into a 7 bed, 4 bath house with the in-laws to save money. Our financial situation is tough right now and it would help us pay less in rent.

My mother-in-law is wonderful and welcoming, but the sister and her husband are a total nightmare. It's complicated, but basically the sister and her husband have taken over the house and have trashed it. They moved in 4 years ago saying it would be for 3 weeks. They never left and pay minimal rent. Now they occupy 6 bedrooms and 3 of the bathrooms.

The rest of the family wants us to move in and hopes that the sister and brother-in-law will move out because of it. My husband's family tip-toes around difficult subjects and avoids conflict beyond reason.

I want to move in if it can improve his Mom's situation and our own, but I just don't know if we will be able to handle it. Plus it sounds like the brother-in-law will restrict us to one bedroom and a shared bathroom with his kids now. Scary.

Sometimes I wonder why parents choose these 11 letter names that noone can pronounce. And these kids will have to go thru life spelling and pronouncing their name to everyone. Do parents consider these things when giving their child a name? There are getting to be too many weird names out there if you ask me. (My real name isnt Dianna but a variation of my real name which I do not care for)

the place im renting has become unsafe for me to live and I need to make a decision by tonight where I will be sleeping....Here is my question....I can either move back home (6 hours car ride away) with no job, no money, no experience to get a job, but all my debts (credit cards....student loans...cell phone bill...car insurance) will be paied off, I will have free rent, and free food. Or I can stay where I am now find a room to rent (which Im a little nervous trusting craigslist but im not sure where else to go), keep my job to gain experience and a foundation, but I would have to get an advance from my work (which they said they would do) but then all of my debt will still be there, and I would still have no money.Other factors that I have been taking into consideration: I am new to the area I live in right now and have few friends where as home I have a hand full, I am 21 years old with an AA degree but I was thinking maybe I should go back to school

He's been working full time for almost a year now. Mainly we didn't collect rent from him so he could save money. We just found out he hasn't saved much at all. Now he has taken off at least 3 days off from work over the past two weeks due to going to rock concerts. He's buying concert tickets, new amp for his guitar, concert sweashirts, tees, train tickets, etc, We informed him as of Jan 1 he will have to pay us some rent. Also, he's been planning social events on the work week nights and I can't sleep properly if he isn't home and have two other kids that must get up very early for school. Is this fair to the rest of the family? Please give me your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Ok I have been at my present job for 3 months now and it sucks! I am in college and I work at the front desk at a gym. Although it is a fairly easy job, the pay sucks and so do the hours. Also, all I do all day is fold bucket loads of towels and the trainers and my boss think they are better than everybody else because they are "fit". Oh yea and I hate dealing with the public because I get harassed by a bunch of perverted men. Anyways... I applied to this other job for a receptionist and they pay $1.50 more than I get now and the hours are great and fit perfect with my schedule. I go in next week for a 2nd interview.... if they offer it... would you take it if you were me?

Thanks!

Hi I am 30 yrs old and have been married for going on 13 yrs been together 15 and have two girls. I have often been referred as the rock of the family. I truly believe that what dosent kill you makes you stronger. I am stronge for my family, but I have a secret and cant afford to get help. So I thought I would write about it maybe make a book as an outlet. I was sexually molested from the age of 7 to 12 yrs old, by 10 different people, and I have a mother that I couldn't count on and knew it from a very young age, so I kept that with me for a very long time. I recently told her of a few and like I thought back then I shouldnt have, she dosent believe me. She went back and told the whole family about it. I care but dont at the same time. We were never liked by anyone in our family growing up so thats kind of why I dont care. It hurts that my own mother dosent believe me and has humiliated me. I was just wondering if anyone has gone threw this, by multi people? Am I alone? Why me?

I live with them and my lil sister, 12 yo. I'm sure she's much more important to than than me, I feel like trash, though I don't think they have any reason to consider me like that. I'm a good student, have never got in trouble. This used to make me sad and depressed, but I found a way to preserve my mental health, I have older friends who are good emotional substitutes for my parents. I don't have any seriuos conflict w/ my parents, the last time I got a small punishment I was 10. We simply don't talk, I'm not important to them. My sister is a good girl but sometimes messes up, and she has their ful attention and love. Yesterday my parents got to know by my school that I was on the honor roll. They were proud (which is a selfish feeling ) but resentful because I didn't tell them. I didn't think this was important at all, I didn't do anything wrong, just on the contrary. I didn't share this w/ them, I let my school do it. I don't understand theirt resentment, could someone help?

My 10 year old son is seeking the attention from his father, who live about 4 hours away from us. He hardly ever calls him, and thinks that just because the state takes out less than $200 out of his check every month for support, that's all he needs to do. I've tried everything I can think of... meeting him half way, bringing my son ALL the way to him, and giving him gas money to come see his own son. I have 2 younger children by a different marriage, and I can't even find their father, so since I have contact with this one I want to make it work for my son. But the father acts like he just doesn't want to be inconvienced. I have NO feelings for this man (we dated in school), I just want my son to have a daddy. He deserves that. But what can I do to make the father want to be daddy?

My son is still 17 and she is 16! My son and I think that abortion would be the best option, and my friends, but since a lot of people on here disagreed, what would you suggest I do?
She is irresponsible, promiscous, she left home at 14 and is generally disrespectful. Her marks at school are bad, all she wants to do is end up on welfare.
She cuts herself and has even tried to kill herself, my son doesn't want to be around someone like her, because he can see how manipulative she is now. She manipulated to him and lied to him that she would have an abortion if she fell pregnant.
So what should I do? I tried to talk to her, I asked her whether she knew what was happening was serious and she carelessly said yes, and then my son told me she didn't want to talk to me anymore. What else could I do if she doesn't want to talk to me, and her parents don't want an abortion!
Also, my husband just died, and I need my son by my side at this moment!

for 6 months, & they are very nice people. They are warm, welcoming, & conversational. I have no prob. with the kids.

Things run smoothly most of the time, but occasionally, there's a bump in the road. Although they are nice people & treat and pay me well, there are a couple of things that bother me a little bit at times. I don't know if these are things I just need to deal with & consider part of the "package" or if I really could be happier somewhere else.

The dad is anal about things & can be demanding & rude at times. Other times he's very friendly. I really have no prob. with him, but sometimes am uneasy because of the past. The mom is very stressed with work, & always rushed, & snippy with her husband, which, at times makes me a little uncomfortable. She is neurotic about everything & leaves sticky-note reminders about things like appropriately valving the sippies and which jelly to use.

Are there ANY perfect families? How do I break the news? I need a good excuse!

Okay, so a week ago my dad promised me to take me shopping on Tuesday. Since I hadnt been shopping for like 3 weeks, I was really excited! My family also made a plan to go out for dinner that evening.

So Tuesday comes and we've decided that we are going to go out for dinner/mall at around 8pm. So its 8pm and my dads all like "ok so lets meet at Swiss Chalet". And Im like, "ok what about my shopping?" and he says "what about it?"..... so after about 10 min of me arguing that if he said he would take me shopping then he should, I finally go to the mall, but with my mom. Shes all pissed off cause I ruined the whole family dinner plan blah blah blah (dad decided that since im going to the mall, theres no time for dinner). Anywho, I go to the mall buy some nice stuff, while my mom waits in the car for me (she was too upset at me to coem inside) and now we havent talked since.
This morning the only thing she said was.. "you dont care about anyone but yourself!"

Tell me...
