Family - October 2007

I just came home from work today and I was looking in the fridge... no food. I asked my mother why she didn't go shopping (not for food, I was talking about something completely unrelated to food) and she started going on her bitchy route. She was screaming at me like I asked her something offensive... (like why does she rape little children or something, she doesn't, she acted like I stabbed her in her heart). She does this all the freaking time, and I'm tired of it. I just turned 18 a few days ago, I do not do drugs, alcohol, I am graduating from HS early (Halloween), and I have a good job. I'm so proud of my accomplishments, but she makes me feel like I'm nothing and that I'll mount to nothing. I just do not know where to go. California is expensive, but the schools here are cheap and they have this good program for me. Everyone else on my family lives on the other side of the country.

I thought about saving up for an apartment (roomies) next year... idk.

I understand that my husband works a lot of hours, but I don't think he understands that I do too, just in the home. He will leave crusted on cereal bowls all over the bedroom, coffee cups, clothes thrown all over (I don't know what's clean or dirty) when he shaves he leaves his whiskers in the sink, shoes in the middle of the floor. Is it asking too much for them to atleast pick up after themselves, even if they don't do laundry, dishes, cook or clean!!? My husband has never been this way before & it's getting really annoying! I don't want to sound like his mother or a ***** by telling him to "pick that up" or "put that away," but I don't want him to think he can just take advantage of me like this?

I cant stand where im living now, i just feel so isolated. Im depressed because of it, and i dont know how to convince my parents that its really affecting my life. It isnt a good location either. and they could do it if they really wanted to financially, but i dont think they really want to. It would just be a small set back to what we are now finacially, but i know for a fact that it woudl be worth it. Ive tried to convince them, and i tried to explain to them that i would be happier somewhere eles, but they dont really care. The place where i would love to live is so much close to my friends, and i just knowww that ide be happy their. I want to move so bad, i think about it everyday, how do i convince them?

What advice do you give your children on contraception and at what age do you give that advice or do you leave this to the schools.

Okay, here's the deal. I got this mom, that's very, very lazy. My dad is a truck driver, and is gone all the time, and I'm here with her my little sister that's two years old. I've recently graduated from high school, and now i'm in college, a full time student. I'm doing all my schooling over the computer, so i'm here constently, but latley, a little more then usual, she wants me to do all this crap around the house. Do this, do that, and nothing I do satisfies her, and everything has to be done right the very freakin second that she says do this. She's lazy as hell, and she's always asking me to clean her house up like i'm her butler. It's really annoying, I know she's got my sister, but she doesn't do anything but just sit and watch tv and get on the computer here and there, she plays with her every great once in a while, and i'm really sick of being here. I left for a week and went to the beach with friends, when I came back she treated me like gold. (Cont. below:)

I do not like the fact that she does not lift one finger to help keep the apartment clean. If anything she deliberately leaves piles of shoes and toys everywhere and will not even put her dirty dishes in the dishwasher. It is not as if she is spending quality time with her kid either because he spends his time wondering around making noise. I know that I must move out on my own. I would like to know if I should just throw in the towel and let the place go to hell?

If someone was raised and their mother was just not affectionate whatsoever, such as;

said "I love you" maybe 3 times ever....never gave hugs or kisses, and overall no affection etc...but not alot of abusive behaviour per say.

Out of curiousity, would that have any effect on the child later in life?

My Boyfriend and I have been dating for a while, and we are expecting our first child together on May of 08. He also has other child with a younger female. I sometimes wonder if she still wants to be him? I feel she does at times by the amount of times she calls him. But I'm with him almost 24/7 and when I’m not I trust him. (She cheated on him so I know he doesn't want her) But hey all I can do is have trust right....... But my worry’s come in that he hasn't told her about me and the baby. And his excuse is that he doesn't want to create drama with him and her and his little girl. But dang how is that suppose to make me feel. It's been on my mind for sometime...and wants to know what ppl think about this situation. Should I bring it up to him are just let it play it's self out. The relationship is great besides this.....Please only answer the question at hand and please don't pass judgment because no one is god nor perfect. Thank you for all of you guys responses.

When I was young I grew up to have a father who's inhuman to my mother, my sister and to me. In my case, Ive lost count the beatings I had come across. The memory is still fresh on my mind how he kicked me while I was watching tv on the middle of night, he got mad because he was awaken by the sound. He bumped my head unto the wall. Not only for these instances that he would physically hurt me, actually there's alot. Like, one rule in our house: "go home before 6 pm", I went home like 7pm, as soon as I entered the gate he slap my head using his sleeper. I could list down the number of beatings I had. Now, Im 23 but I am not yet ready to open up myself for him. My heart is filled with so much silent anger to what I have experienced. My mom, my sister, my friends and our relatives advised me to forgive my father, God knows I have tried my best to get close to him, talk to him but I just cant.

My dad died when I was 7 years old. But the last time I saw him was when I was 2 years old so I can't remember him.

My mom said he died in the war OR he died of natural

My uncle said he died when he had heart attack

But yesterday, I found out that dad died because of Diabetes.
My brother was really close to dad and said that dad had diabetes so we needed to eat healthy.

What are healthy foods to stay away from Diabetes?

I have 4 boys and 1 girl and she is dating. My sons are very very over protective with her and who she sees. They screen her calls and watch her like a hawk. she is 17 and they are 23,20,18 and my 6 feet 13 yr. old. She is really tired of it, she feels she is a big girl and take care of herself. She is a tough girl but she wants her privacy. She feels her brothers are over bearing and embarassing. I have asked them to back of a little, she is a very pretty girl and has a very curved body for her age. Sometimes I look at as a good thing but maybe it could be a bad thing cause it could ruin her relationships. Her boyfriend is not intimidated by them,he understands they are just protecting her and has assured them that he won't hurt her. What should I do to stop them?

Ok, I have this cousin who is one year younger than I am. She lives far away from me, and i never see her more than twice a year. Ok, well she recently got a cell phone, and she calls me all the time, like more than once a day. She calls me when i'm shopping and when i'm at practice. I told her once not to call me after a certian time but she didn't listen. Plus when i talk to her, she usually just wants to gloat about whatever new thing she got, or she prank calls me. Once she called when she had a friend over, and didn't even talk to me at all. How can I handle this? It's getting on my last nerve.

Growing up all 4 of my grandparents ignored me and my 3 siblings. I was always jealous of grandparents that act like parents. Mine were more concerned about money and never came to see us. What makes it worse is that my family was struggling financially with 4 kids and my moms parents are very wealthy. They never gave us money to help with school,clothes,class rings and pictures, etc. I always notice good grandparents who do things like taking kids to doc appointments,helping them with college, buying them their first car or just showing up for graduations. My grandparents were deadbeats.....How are yours?
