I love my mother with all my heart. She has brought up us kids with good morals. Parents do make their own mistakes. I know I am a parent and I have learned what not to do with my daughter. My mother is very negitive. She has always favored my sister because my mother use to tell me all the time while growing up that I was a mistake and that I was not suppose to happen. All my life even till now she always says that I have never been smart enough and that I am stupid. I have told her couple of times but she continues. I am about ready to cut her out of my life once and for all. The last time she called me stupid was on my birthday because of her dying friend who has brain cancer wanted to give me a purse but I was told never to take out anything. I mean come on..It's a purse! I have been trying so hard to have confidence and self esteem.My mother says I need to lose weight and maybe if I do I will get a man. NO matter what I say or do I can never do anything right. HELP! I am 45 & tire

I'm 19 yrs old and i live at home with my parents. I really feel like it is time for me to get out of there. I just feel like i've outgrown it and want to be more independent. I go to school and have a part-time job. I would be able to afford an apartment with my boyfriend and a friend. Do you think i'm still too young?

Do you believe that one of your parents doesn't love you because:
I didn't get the stuff I wanted?
They don't see me so they don't care?
It's their fault for a divorce?
What would be most of the problem if a parent still loved you but still stayed away. Are you impartial?

I get so tired of seeing questions from step mothers complaining that their husband's ex doesn't spend the entire child support check on her kids.. I'm a step mother, myself.. so I'll try to explain..

There are on average 30 days in a month. Child support checks are usually sent once or twice a month, my husband happens to send his on the first of the month- around the time her rent is due.

For the other 29 days, his ex is responsible for groceries, paying bills, getting whatever their daughter needs for school, paying a babysitter when she needs one on weekends, missing WORK to take the child to the doctor, and all other financial responsibilities that come along with parenting...

And she spends HER paychecks doing that..

Then, on the first of the month, when her rent is due she gets a child support payment. She pays her rent, and then if she wants to do something for herself, by all means she's earned it.

What more do you want?

How do I tell my stepson I'm not his real/biological dad?
I've brought up my son since he was just a few months old, he's now seven and we feel the time is now right for him to know i'm not his biological dad. His biological father has never had anything to do with him but we don't want this to become an issue in later years. I'm the only dad he knows.
We think that by giving a biological explanation of conception then explaining that a dad is the one who loves and cares for you no the one who made you is the way to go about this.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

My husband has a son from a previous relationship. He is almost 16. He pays his child support like he is suppose to but she doesn't always spend it on the child. We hardly see the child because he is older and wants to spend all his time with his girlfriend. Also he is mad at my husband for a few different reasons. We only hear from him when he wants something. Ex: a trip he wants to go on that is going to cost us $1500 and a 16th birthday party that he wants. I get pissed off because I think he pays enough in child support but he feels he should pay more when it is needed. This has come between us on a couple of occasions and I don't know what to do. His mother is the same way. She was pissed and not talking to my husband until she realized she needs help paying for this trip. I don't know how to handle this with my husband because we fight about it. What do you think?

Last Christmas my mom invited me, my husband and kids to Christmas dinner. She gave us our gifts a few days before Christmas and we opened them here at home on Christmas morning. When we got to her house to have a dinner with the family, my brothers, their kids and wives and my step brother and his family, we all ate and then when dinner was finished everyone, except my own little family and I, were asked to go into the other roon and open their gifts, which they all did together. Obviously we felt left out so we decided to go and my kids' feelings were hurt terribly seeing all that as were mine. My question is, seeing as how it went last year do you think we should again spend Christmas with my mom or politely decline? I haven't even talked to her about it because it wouldn't make any difference if I did. Any ideas on what to say to decline her invitation this year would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

My ex boyfriend wants to give things another shot. We dated about 5 years ago. My parents absolutely forbid me to see him. They have threatened to divorce over the whole thing and everything so I decided not get back with him. Now, I really really want to be with him and I can't be because they are going to hate me forever. By the way, he also has a kid now, but he has a real good job and his own place and everything. They think he is a low life. I am 21 and he is 23 which is not the big deal but thought that might help answer my question but what my question is, is... Will they ever learn to accept this? I have built a brand new house on their land and have to live beside them so, its pretty bad. What can he do to show them how much he wants to be with me and what he is willing to do? We broke up because we cheated on eachother but I did it first and my parents don't know I cheated on him. If I tried to tell them that now, they would think I was doing it just because. Please Help!

My sister is selfish. She has 4 children and doesn't take care of them. She has left their father so many times in the past because she wanted to go out and "be free" and see other men- sometimes disappearing for months at a time without even checking in on her children. She went to jail several years ago for drugs. Her now ex husband took her back many times because he wanted to work it out for the kids. The last time she left, he didn't let her come home. He works hard and takes care of the kids himself. I watch the two younger ones while he works (the older two are in school) and I don't charge him for babysitting because she doesn't pay child support and he struggles financially. She got mad at me because I was "Making it too easy for him" and told me to stop watching the kids. I told her I wouldn't and if she had a problem with it then she need not call me anymore until she got some help and straightened out. She said I'm being disloyal to her- Am I a bad sister?

When I was 14, I made some normal mistakes teens do. My parents said I had broken their trust and were very harsh. I loved them and that broke my spirit. I did my best to get back their trust but they were extremely unforgiving ad it took a while. I made them proud of me, but could never see them *** loving parents anymore. Our relationship was destroyed, they did what no parent should ever do. Some people said I'd understand when I became a father. Well, I'm 55, have 2 great kids, a boy 25, and a girl, 21. In their teen years they made mistakes, of course, but we handle that with love, today they are 2 great young adults and we have a wonderful relationship. I wrote off my parents, though they tried to reconnect. But I refused, they hardly knowe my wife and my kids. I haven't talked to them for 25 years, to me they and my life with them are an extremely sad memory.
My father died yesterday and mys siter aked me to go his funeral, said my mom pleaded. But why? I see no point in this

I am 32 and she is 1 mo. from being 23, I just found out that she thinks my son is lazy and not motivated, and she thinks he struggles in school (he doesn't struggle, he's an A,B student, I think he has just gotten bored and I have had to press on him a little bit lately)
She is an athlete and is very active, I feel that I have fallen for her but now I feel that it is wrong for me to love her. I do not want to love someone that feels this way about my son. This does not change the way I feel about her!!!!! I would just like some opinions...

He says I've had it "made". He got together with a new girlfriend who has led a hard life but I feel like I respect that. I have just chosen recently not to have him around because of his constant criticism. But now he's just doing it behind my back. I work everyday, pay bills, and take care of my husband and child. I don't feel like his criticism is even fair.

I recently left my verbally and emotionally abusive husband. I have been living in a women’s home for the past week with my two year old son. His sister has constantly called around different homes looking for me, but mainly for my son. She has even gone as far as e-mailing the center where I’m at in an attempt to blame me for taking away his son. Of course, I cannot discuss location and so she doesn’t know the exact place where I am. I have had little contact with my husband and none with her. I found this out from my case manager. I am really mad because it is none of her business first of all, and she believes everything her little brother tells her. The whole family is in denial about his behavior. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Is there any action I can take? Can they try to take action against me? The courts would eventually find out I am living in a home for domestic violence, so would it be in my favor?

Please respond in a nice manor as I’m a confused woman r
