Family - October 2007

I have two older brothers and one older sister. In total, they have had eight kids and have chosen each other at least once to be a godparent. Why don't they choose me? I'm not extremely poor or an irresponsible person and I can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't pick me. Should I let it bother me?

My family is about to move to another state, and I'm not going with them. I'm going to move in with my boyfriend and live with him. They obviously don't know this, even though I've brought some of my things to his house. We have never been an "open up and talk to me" family. Even my online friends know more about me than they do. My older brother is living with his girlfriend, whom he has kids with, and though they don't like it, they don't say anything. But I'm the girl, so they're going to treat me differently. The only way I can think to tell them is just to leave a note, but I know that's not a good thing to do. If I have to do it, I will. But, if there's any other method, please tell me. (And, I'm 19.)

I have a six month old son. Me and his dad broke up before i found out I was pregnant. After I told him he moved and changed his number. I guess he just didn't feel like bein a dad. I know I have a while before this subject will come up but it is driving me crazy that I don't know what to tell my son about why he doesn't have a dad. Any suggestions? I dont want to make my son feel like he wasn't wanted.

well, first of all I come from New Zealand but originally from the Philippines and because my "PARENTS" speaks Tagalog (national language of Philippines).... well ever since I was a little child, my dad always say stupid and dumb to me in Tagalog, the way he says it to me breaks my heart and it really hurt... so on 30th September, I did nothing wrong and my dad just keeps on saying to me stupid, dumb and etc in Tagalog and so well, I couldn't stand of what he said to me, I said to him "FUCK YOU" and when he heard, he starts hitting me and throw one of my black school shoes but unfortunately, nothing happened to me instead it happened to my mum since she was blocking for me from being hurt... =( now she got all the pain especially when she was kicked by my dad... so im wondering any advice??? of what can/should I do.... my mum said to me that I should always greet him even though he dont talk to me, but its weird for me, so please its urgent...otherwise I will put myself into death! and another thing is that do you think I will be put into hell from god since I swear to my DAD? im scared!!! =(

I'm the eldest and and i have 4 siblings. My mother never gives me a chance to explain myself or discuss my feelings and it just kills me inside. Even though I have done alot of good thing to help her and her family but never got any thanks or show of appreciation. i helped her with her resume last month and helped her with job applications so on, still she said that she shouldn't be thanking me. I'm not sure if she loves me or even care. When ever i go to her sisters and discuss what I feel they try to help. They talk to her but she turns back and ***** at me that I shouldn't be talking to them and telling them what she does cause those are her siblings. I never knew my real father and he's not around where i am from and sometimes i cry myself to sleep feeling lonely and unloved. I made myself a promise that I will never do that to my own kids and I treat them all the same even though they have different fathers.

My dad just found out tonight from the attorneys letter. My mom has said nothing to me or my sister about it. A few days ago I had some suspicions so I started to intercept some of her incoming work and personal email. Tonight, my father and I looked over these emails and found that she is seeing someone. This is probably the main cause of the divorce. If my parents get divorced, we will lose our wonderful cottage, a condo in Mexico, and obviously our family. It will also f*ck up our financial situation as well. How do I convince my mom that seeing this man is not the best for my sister and I, and will cause more hardships than good?

Ok. Here it goes:
I'm 25 and I'm in an adulterous relationship. I am single, he is married. Next week is my birthday and we want to celebrate it together (a few days before my the actual birthday). We are planning on staying overnight. My mom knows about him, isn't too happy but we talk about it. Should I tell her I am going to be with him? or should I tell her I'm sleeping over at a friend's house?

Please no judgemental answers. I love my mother dearly and I'm in love with him.

Every time my mother and father in law come over for a meal. They use the bathroom. It does not matter what my wife serves. But my in laws always manage to clog the toilet. They are getting up their in age. They do not have the muscles to power plunge. First my mother in law goes in. You see she will not flush it is a waist of water. Then my father in law goes in and does his job on top of that. They are so afraid of waisting water, but they have no problem waisting toilet paper. My wife and I fight about this everytime that she tells me they are coming over. So my mother in law sees it is not going down, so she opens the bathroom door and calls for my father in law. So they are both in their at the same time. My father in law is plunging while my mother in law keeps on flushing. Then the toilet over flows. Then they come out and say we really should get someone over to fix the toilet because it clogs up all the time. there is more so PLEASE wait a minute.

I have a 23 yrs. old brother who we both live with our parents. The thing is his father is my step father and I feel that my mother is spoiling him too much. This morning I had to hear awful things because I didn't prepare his lunch to go. He never helps around the house not even pay bills are just to clean after his mess or take out the trash. He doesn't do his plates either. But when ever he likes something he gets what he wants. He doesn't do his laundry, my mother does it for him. Sometimes I wonder if she knows that she's getting old and she needs to let him be adult and take responsibility. He's healthy with two arms and legs so why can't he make his lunch own lunch once in a while. I work too and pretty late so sometimes I just can't get up right away to make him lunch every morning but most of the times I do. if my mother wants to spoil him like that then she shouldn't be complaining she should do it herself.

my 5 year old will calmly, out of the blue say, "mom, I don't love you" . I feel like I am being stabbed in the chest. The first couple times he said it I just told him you know that's ok, I love you and went on with it, but it's gone on too long now, and now I am really hurt. I do the best I can as a mom and he's telling me it's not good enough. It hurts. This time i did not respond at all. Just tried not to cry. he's making me feel like I'm a terrible person.

My husband and I have been married for over 20 years. We have 2 teenage children. His only sibling, a brother is on his second marraige with 5 children, 3 of them teenagers, all of whom I love. The problem is my mother-in-law(mil). She has, since day 1, favored my brother-in-law (bil). We all live in the same town. For the past 10 plus years she has bil and his family over to dinner at least once a week if not more. We are never invited. When confronted with all the favortism years ago, (in a gentle manner) she pretty much denied it. Things were better for a year or two then she slipped back into her old ways. She attends all my nieces and nephews sporting events and never attends my own childrens. My husband doesn't like to talk about it, although he agrees I know it is very hurtful to him. She always buys the other kids things, spends time with them, etc. but not with us. We never had a disagreement, my kids and my family are very nice well-rounded people. Why?

I think I need antidepressants, but I dont want to tell my husband- because then he would say he needs some too and so does everyone else, because everyone has problems.

Im just overwhelmed. My husband has Aspergers a higher functioning form of Autism, and so does my two yr old son...so many struggles...

My 4 yr old daughter needs a lot of help with HW, we have her in private school and is already learning how to read...but she doesnt want to do her HW which I cant blame her. But I force her to do it.

My two boys, 2 yrs and 10 months are tandem nursing....Im so sick and tired of it....they are like baby wolves. My husband is gone working 10 hr days, I feel lonely.

I feel overwhelmed with house chores. No babysitters, never anytime alone with my husband...no family nearby.

This is what I want. To smile everyday, have lots of patience, Wean my baby boys in 6 months time, its hard with the AS though. Have the house clean, have lots of energy. I feel like crawling in a hole.

I am preparing to graduate second in my class at Stanford University. I will earn a degree in Biophysics. I have been offered three jobs already, including one in Asia, once I graduate, all of which would pay me six figures with incentive bonuses.

The problem is this : I don't want to work in biophysics.

My new dream is to wrap individual slices of cheese. I don't care how little it pays, or how ridiculous it sounds to others, but I have been thinking long and hard about this, and this is the career path I want to pursue. I feel slightly guilty about spending thousands upon thousands of my parents' dollars, but what's done is done. Nobody can destroy my dream.

How can I ease them into this?

I was verbally and emotionally abused by my stepfather for the latter half of my childhood. He never did molest me physically but he did make lewd comments and insisted to my mother I was having sex when I was only 12, which I was not. Sometimes he would get drunk and actually crawled into bed with me a couple of times, I guess he thought I was my mother. I was always worthless, stupid, a **** and a ***** from the time I was 9, according to him. My older brother left because he had the option, but I didn't. I could never do anything right, and I never learned to trust myself or my instincts. That has gotten me into a lot of trouble in my adult life. I kept quitting college, because I was convinced I couldn't do it, I wasn't good enough. I married a man that abused me and my children, but I left him and we still do not have a place of our own. I am convinced I am a bad mother, so they often stay with my mom, but she thankfully divorced my stepdad a long time ago. How can I heal myself?

My mother died on May 9th.2006. She had left an inheritance for me & my son. My auntie told me that she had power of attorney over my inheritance. She said that I can't get my inheritance because it was set aside to purchase a house for my son & I. I still have no house. Now she said (16 months later) that I can't have my money because she felt that I would spend the money foolishly. I did recieve 60,000. in seperatate installments throughout the 16 months since my mom past away. I don't even know how much my mom left me but I heard it was 60% to me since I was her only child, 30% to my son & 10% to my aunt who has control of the money. I was not present for the reading of the will. In fact I'm not allowed to know anything besides what she tells me. I never seen any paperwork or reciepts. My aunt also said that if I even think about going legal with this matter & try to challenge her that I would be cut out of the will completely & get nothing. She said my mom wanted it this way.
