Family - October 2007

My husband has been deployed to Iraq for the past 15 months, he will be home soon and I invited his father up to see him (my FIL lives 2800 miles away), thinking he would only stay 1 week or 10 days, well his father called and said he wants to stay 2 months. I havent seen my husband in 15 months, i want some time to be alone with him. What can I do?

my mother in law drinks a lot and then becomes really nasty. she has called me every name under the sun and threatened to have me killed.
we ask her to come and see our son every week or so, and she is always to hung over to come, she has seen him twice in 6 months and lives just 10 minutes down the road
my family are about 6 hours away, but come and see us every 2nd weekend, so i want to spend christmas with them as does my husband.
MY mother in law is being really nasty about it, and is calling us daily to tell us what disappointments we are, and that we wont let her see her grandchild and my husband is starting to think we should spend it with her to shut her up. I dont think we should reward her behaviour, but i want to do something coz i am sick of the abusive calls. what should i do?

Ok I live my stepmom, were not related in anyway. I know who my real mom is and where she lives we talk sometimes. My stepmom has custody of me, and i kinda do want to move in with my real mom. Is there some sort of legal thing that has something to do with this...Does anyone know any websites or numbers...or maybe has experienced this themselves??

She gets mad at me all of the time, and that thing is I have to live with her, i am moving in to a house soon but i have had to live here above her house for 2 years now. She has to have things done her way, and i am beginning to think it is because she likes making me mad and feeling like she has WAYYYYYYY more power than me, and she is always saying and blaming me for things i never did. she never blames my mom when she yells at her, only me. she accuses me of lying, when she doesnt my mother it is so hard. I had a sleepover at my house and she had to have EVERYTHING HER WAY, (we were making lots of cookies for a sale) and than after my friends left my grandmother asked for her keys (only the one to my new house) and i said i put them on the stove, she said they werent there and i said my mom must have moved them. my mom didnt know where they were (she is at work) so my grandmother starts screaming at me, and she stole my keys! she wouldnt give em back i wanted them in case i had to

My family and my inlaws clash so for my daughters upcoming birthday we have decided to have different parties.

I was understanding that my spouse and myself were set to buy the cake for both occasions. I was informed yesterday that my MIL is buying the cake for that side of the family. Plus she is inviting people without my consent.

The birthday is Saturday and I just found this out Monday.

Should I be mad or am I just over-reacting?

Lately I've been purposly hurting myself. It actually makes me feel better, which is somthing that doesn't make a lot sence to me. My mom and I have been fighting worse and worse as I've grown up; and it's not getting any better. I have this Teddy bear, and having him up to my face just calms me down (since I've done that since I was a baby) It's a fool proof way to calm me down, and let my stress melt away. My mom this I'm sucking on my fingers (like I used to do when I was little) and dispite my millions of time of telling her I'm not, and that it just makes me feel better, she compares me to a baby and took it away (to God knows where) ALSO; during our fights she doesn't listen to what you have to say. She thinks of only what she will say and ignores you and if she thinks that you're a ***** then yea. You're a ***** to her, can't change her mind no matter what (yes she thinks I'm a *****) Lately she's been slapping me, so I also hurt myself. Is it wrong to do this to myself?

Say you are 16 & you have a savings account. You (the kid), ur parents, and their parents (ur grandparents) all live in the same house. The house is owned by the grandparents. But the parents keep asking for money from their parents (your grandparents) for their internet, car insurance bill, taxes ECT. The father basically has no job. The mother works 5 days a week, & the grandparents are retired.
How would you feel if you were in this situtation as the 16 year old kid & your parents took all but $10 out of her savings account from her bank account??

Yes, I know parents can do this since the kid is under 18 but it kinda hurts that my parents didn't tell me at all that they were going to take my savings money out for their ONCE A MONTH bills. I mean come on now, it's their child's savings account.

How would u react if u were in this situation??

The ONLY way I knew about this was from a letter in the mail from my bank.

and the parents don't even have to pay rent!

I am divorced since my children were an infant and toddler.
I have been single for many years and actually have done pretty good for myself. I drive a fairly new SUV, I work at a very lucrative job as a RN. I own my own home. I have dated the same guy for 5 yrs and we have a lot in common
Recently my boyfriends brother went into the hospital for a 2nd bypass in 10 yrs. He is a really nice fella, so instead of sending him a flower, I sent him a funny card and a pair of really nice Mizuno shoes which are my favorite brand. I knew he would be walking in the fitness center at the hospital, so I figured rather than buying him a stupid flower, I would put my money into something useful-walking shoes. I firgured it would cost about the same and thought it would be appreciated.
Now his wife is all jealous and he would not talk to me during our last visit. My boyfriend told me she is that way.
I now am being treated like dirt by the whole family. Did I do something wrong?

okay so I broke up with my boyfriend, was in the other room of our apartment cuz both of our names are on the lease. I decide to call his mom to tell her that he's into drugs and spending 200 bucks a week on booze and won't pay his bills. My boyfriends cousin calls me, threateneds my life so I move out to get away from it. His mom calls me today and tells me to leave him alone cuz he can't handle it when I bother him at work and he gets all upset. I just want my money he owes me and to move on. She tells me that he's not moving out and she'll pay his rent and I pay mine to her. Or she'll file harrassment on me for bothering her poor pathetic son at work... I can't get out of the lease cuz he can't pay his bills so he has bad credit... I don't want the place back. The family cares about no one but themselves. What do I do? I don't want to have to continue to pay rent if I'm not living there but I know my ex and he'll purposley not find a room mate just to screw me over...

I'm having the most difficult time with my mother. She's always manipulating me. It's for the stupidest things too. My mother lives with me, she's an alcoholic and has cancer. She thinks the world owes her something, for her screw ups. Lets say I just made a big dinner and everyone eats, but her. She was invited but chooses not to eat with us. She'll try to sneak food and eat it in her room. And then lie and say she didn't eat and puts a huge guilt trip on me. I want her to eat and to take care of herself. Why does she feel the need to try and manipulate me all the time? I don't feel sorry for her because everything thats wrong with her is something she's inflicted on herself, and she does it continuously. Like she'll finish her chemo and go off and get drunk then hurt herself come back home and whine and complain and I have to fix her, clean her up, bandage whatever she hurt, but why is it everyone else's fault? Why can;t she take responsibility for her action?

History: My stepson is 13, I have been married to his dad since he was 5. My stepson's mom is a piece of crap and is not really in his life. Because his mother is not around, my in-laws really cater to him to try and "fill the void" with giving him what he wants. What they have done is created a monster (but they don't see that) and now my husband and I are suffering for it.
Question: My husband's mother accosted me the other day because she does not like the fact that I discipline (come on now, he has 4 "F" grades and he wants to go out---not happening on my watch). My step son bad mouths not only me but his dad to my in-laws. Because she physically threatened me, I feel that there are consequences for your actions. She does not need to be involved in our parenting and the fact that she came at me like that, makes me feel like she does not deserve to be a part of our lives. Do I let my hubby deal with her or do I and what would you do?
