Family - October 2007

So my son is 12 and will turn 13 in February. My problem is that he is so aggressive and angry that I don't know what to do. He is mouthy and rude. He told me yesterday that I should "get a clue" that his groundings weren't working. He said that all I was accomplishing was making him angry. I can't get him to do his homework or chores. His dad and I are divorced but he lives with his step-father and me. Right now, his step-father is only home on the weekends due to job issues. His transfer should be complete within the next month but I'm not sure we can make it that long. He sees his dad every other weekend and has grandparents that are very involved. I don't like to spank (I was abused as a child). Maybe that's where I have screwed up. PLEASE help. I am not sure I can survive HIS puberty!

Can someone tell me why parents are such strict-assed people?
I mean, come on, I don't drink, do drugs, or smoke.
So why can't I get a few new ear piercings?
It pisses me off that my mum doesn't trust me like she trusted my sisters.
All I'm asking for is an ear piercing, and my other sister had her navel pierced when she was my age without my dad's permission, and she didn't get in trouble!
So why is it that when I ask permission, explain exactly what I want, and why, they straight out say no?

My husband was out of town. My stepdaughter, she's 14, hung out at the house and was going to be picked up after 8:00p.m. to stay the night at a friends house. I was out with my sister and not coming home until late. I ended up stopping at the house becuase her dad and I could not reach her. When I got to the house, she was not there and there wasn't a note left. I called her Dad becuase he was worried and said that I could not find her. I checked the caller ID and saw two numbers, one I recognized as the neighbors son. The other one I did not recognize. I gave the two numbers to my husband and said give them a call becuase maybe she is with the neighbor. Turns out she arranged to be P/U by a 16 year old boy alone(she has never dated). They went to the grocery store and the beach at night. Her dad said she was till able to stay the night with her friend and hang out tomorrow, just not go to the dance Saturday. Do you think that was fair punishment? Should it have been more or less?

My grandfather was in the military. my grandmother was from an upperclass family, and they hated my grandfather. My grandfather died in Vietnam. they hate me because I was named after my grand father. My father married my mother because he got her pregnant not because he loved her. Nobody loves me except my mom and dad and my mother's mom and my aunt on my mom's side. Why should I continue living? I know the only god there is is a god of suffering,pain ,apathy and death. How can I die quickly?The christian god hates me. Tell me how I can die fast???

He watches porn and when he's happy, he taps me on the butt even if I told him to stop..and when he gets angry, he mumbles and yells at me with cuss words and sometimes hit me..

ever since i was about 9, i've been always finding things like Playboy magazines and calendars. i don't think of him as my "daddy", i think of him as some perverted man who just happens to live with me. it's not just the porn, it's the way he kisses me really hard on the cheek, and instead of saying "honey" or something cute like that he says "hey baby" in this weird way, and it's just the way he is with me.i'm his 15-year old DAUGHTER.he doesn't really spend time with me or tell me any stories or anything.i know that everyone says that it's just normal, but it's my FATHER.

I HAVE A LIL SISTER AND ALL I CAN SAY IS DAT I WISH I HAD SOME BROTHERS LOL

If you have kids or nieces, nephews you know how it feels when they say something as only a child can say it. Sometimes it cute. Sometimes its embarrassing. Whats the cutest or most memorable thing one of them has said. It may have been 30 years ago or 30 minutes ago.

One of my favorites was when my daughter was about 4 and she was watching tv with her little brother. I think the show was Bozo or something and they brought an orangatan on the stage. My son pointed and squeeled "monkey!" and my know-it-all daughter exasperately told him "Thats not a monkey, it a meringue-a-tang!" (I always picture a fluffy white ape when I think of that)

My sister is married ten years. She is 35 yrs. old with three kids. I am 26 yrs. old and made 30,000 last year but recently got a raise to 5,000 dollars. Big raise, thank G-d. Our parents both died; father in Sept. 03' and mother in Feb. '05. I stayed in the same apt. I grew up in because the price is cheaper than anywhere else. Between my sister and her husband, they probably make around 90,000. However, she claims they hardly have any savings and their account was down to 100 dollars. That they have to pay off all kinds of credit cards and schools for the kids. Supposedly, my nephew goes to a special school for a neurological problem for 20,000 per year. So, we had to buy a double stone ($2,800) which needed to be bought in three months. I had to almost go broke to pay this out and buy it. I am still recovering. She claimed they couldn't split it that I HAD to pay it so that we can have the unveiling of it before our relatives go back to Florida for the year. Now, my brother in law,

I need to cut myself and my kids off from my parents. My dad has dementia and I am sick of being treated like the person he's confused me with or have bad things happen because he goes around saying stuff that isn't true. What are some suggestions on getting this done? I didn't want to move until next May but suddenly feel uneast with the fact that have my current home address. Anyone else go through something similar?

We live together, and there's a good chance we'll get married. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this woman, who will be around for quite awhile since they have a child.

The expectations she has are just too much. Right now she's enraged that I'm getting his domestic partner health benefits. She wants it, even though that wouldn't even be legal. She expects him to share his child care benefits so she can have day care during her week, even though she doesn't work. She wants us to fire our nanny and pay her to watch her own son when my bf is working and daycare isn't open. She doesn't work. Has a trust fund, but it runs out in 9 months and I'm worried her demands will get even worse then. She is bi-polar and claims she is incapable of keeping a job, but she usually quits herself when she does get one. She's started sending him nasty text messages about me, and he's getting really stressed out. Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with a person like this?

He had nowhere to go after he got out, so he moved in with me in a one bedrm apartment. His back is all messed up, he has to crawl out of bed in the morning. He is getting treatment but it doesn't help much. Emotionally he is quieter and more withdrawn than he was before. I don't know what to do. We sleep in the same bed, I have been giving him nightly massages for his back. The past few weeks we have gotten too close and it feels great to both of us, but, but,but, but

Okay, I have a Razor, I'm 13, I'm getting a new phone for Christmas though (just a little backround information). Okay so, here's my thing... My little sister is 9 years old, today, and she is a dancer like, all out dancer (im just a smart person lol) and she's at the dance studio a LOT. Btw, she's there 6 hours on satudays. Anyways, today she is getting a Samsung phone. Otherwise known as, "the oragami", or "the stage somthing" (idk what it's called, it's awesome though). UGH! I didn't get a stupid cell phone till my 5th grade graduation (she's in 3rd grade).


Okay, I just wanted to rant.

I don't get on with my mum at all.
Everything she does annoys me - the sound of her voice especially.
I hate most aspects of her personality.
I sometimes try to be nice, but she is so cruel and spiteful.
I am partly to blame because when I get angry at her, I start screaming.
I just wonder if it's something that can't really be helped.
I'm so fed up!

Embarrassed what do I do? Because I was on here and he came down and saw me to ask what I wanted to eat and I tried to change the page that was up and before he could see but it popped back up and he looked at it for about 5 seconds really good, but he never said anything about it he just simply asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. I'm still embarrassed and I believe he knew it was me (My face wasn't on the picture). What do I do to ease the tension and forget about what happend?

I have a brat brother who is so spoiled!!! My mom will give him whatever he wants. We have just been notified that all our credit cards have been canceled and that we dont make enough money in a year to pay off all the debt. And now he wants 2 games that together should cost around $90. My mom will give him anything he wants just so she can be over having to deal with him curse every swear word there is, literally destroying our house, and starving himself.

Ok, so one time, he was playing a video game, rit? And he kept losing this one level. Every time he lost, he said these words, "OH FUC* BASTAR* HEL* NO!!! YOU STUPID GOD!!! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME YOU FUC*IN BITC* BASTAR*!!! I HATE YOU!!! WHY DID YOU CREATE ME IF ALL YOU WERE GOING TO DO WAS MAKE MY LIFE A LIVIN HEL*!!!!! FUC*IN BASTAR*!!!" Then he knocked down a few end tables, pushed over the couches and kept playin until he won. I told him that it wasnt god's fault and he cursed at me lik 100 times n threw a chair at me...

i really really dont get on with my parents.the only times we are getting on is when we're just not talking at all. it's just ridiculous. I have recently missed the bus home a few times after going to town after school, meaning that my parents have to come and collect me from the bus stop a bit later, i have also not been doing that well in school, mainly beacuse i have been focussing on my social life and my friends. I'm not particularly popular, but im not a loser. I do do my homework etc. ut i do also have friends and try to see them at least every friday after school in town. My parents were really mad with me today when i missed the bus again and lied about why i had missed it - which they found out about. I know I'm not doing well in school, but i dont care to be honest. The problem is that they do. I'm just fed up with it all. I love my friends and they are the most important things in the world to me right now, I love my time at school beacuse of them, i just hate home so much
