My Ex-husband & his finance wants to come trick-or-treating with my daughter & I, including my boyfriend. I thought it was great at first since he's never had a halloween with our daughter. Plus, I thought it would be a great opporunity for us to get to know each other better. But when I mentioned it to my other half. He just rolled his eyes like he wouldn't be taking part in this. Am I wrong for thinking that all of us could get along & do things together for my daughter? Should I be mad at my boyfriend if he doesn't come along with us?

Lets say, you have a friend (who smokes major weed, all day) anyway, your friend has a little brother who has gotten into trouble and was previously involved with drugs.Due to his (the brother) actions he was sent off to "juvenile programs" to better himself in this and out of state.Well, the mom finally said okay none of this crap has worked for this kid, now, I think he should stay with his brother (the major weed smoker).Yeah, like thats any better=).I feel it's necessary if this kid is here to better himself, it's probably best if he gets away from that house as much as possibly because of the influences around him. This is none of my business and I don't feel it's my problem, but, I was there once and I can't help and care a little. This kid likes to hang around me and I took the kid to church, he liked it, he asked if I could pick him up for bible studies on wensdays as well.My question is Am I sticking my nose where it doesn't belong?

I'm realy getting sick of my girlfriends mother, she is a nice enought person but carn't keep her nose out and meddeling in our relationship.

For example my gf has been on a diet (in which I support her in either way) she has been doing well and I have been doing my bit to encourage her and see that I dont eat junk food around her or discourage her by suggesting a take-a-way.

The MIL doesnt see why see should want to loose weight (as she is overweight) and tries to discourage her and sais that she shouldnt listen to me!
Also I now am getting tired of visiting them, every time we do, she tell my gf not to be bossed around by me, and is very deluded / overprotective.

Before anyone asks or jumps to conclusions, I am not like how my MIL see's me, she is very protective of her kids and its causing problems in thier relationships aswell.

I have talked to my gf and the MIL but nothing changes, evertime we see her family she belives what they say and it causes a fight.

I'm a college student and my sister (in her 30s) has 3 kids, making me an uncle. My family expects me to help raise her kids almost. My sister married into a family that is directly opposite to my immediate family. I am usually a quiet, mature, intelligent person, while my sister and the rest of her new family is just the opposite. The parents dont live up to their promises and dont let their children hang out with other kids their age for w/e reason, so I'm stuck being their best friends. Due to limited words to type here, parents are basically horrible. These nephews are 5,7,9 yrs old. I'm 19 yrs old and I commute to college so I'm living at home to save money and I dont have a choice really. If I ever give constructive criticism of any kind, the parents reject it and doubt that they could ever possibly be bad parents or make 1 wrong move. When they happens, my sister blames it on my mom b/c im living at home. My sister doesnt think I can speak for my own part. Need more room to type

We have been going strong for almost four years now, and have two beautiful children together. The chidren are young, two year old and seven month old. We live away from most family, only his Father is close. I truly believe he was made for this path in life, going and getting Military training would complete his character. I, however selfish this may sound, was not. I feel that the Military life will put a great burden on us as a whole. The lengthy time away will definitely be hard. Not because my temptations will be so great to cheat, but because I will feel like a Single Parent with responsibilities very high and overwhelming. Of course I can adjust and strive to make it work, but it will be the greatest loss if something were to happen to him. I have lost my Mother, a wonderful soul.... I could not picture this world without him in it. Please give light. The Marine Recruiter will be here in a matter of days to see what we have decided to do.

im 23 and live at home with parents. As soon as I have money or buy something my mother yells and screams wanting me to give half to my sister 22 and my brother 14. i don't want to bc im unemployed, don't get an allowance and they do. This makes me angry bc my mom doesn't understand that if I don't take care of myself no one will. I try not to ask my mom for any money. If i do it's about $1 - $5 at the most sparingly.

My husband adopted my daughter 2 years ago. His own parents are divorced and his Dad was super supportive of the adoption, while his mother protested it-saying he shouldn't tie up the rest of his life on someone else's kid.

Two years have gone by and how his mother has grown to love my daughter and apologized for everything she ever said. She and I are getting along much better.

Then, out of the blue, I get a phone call from his dad (who was supportive) asking me if I divorced my husband, does the adoption mean he'd be liable for child support.

I'm hurt, because stuff like that shouldn't matter. I mentioned it to my husband who talked to his dad and told him he would expect to pay child support if we ever split up (Big if) because he's her Daddy now.

I'm so hurt that his family goes back and forth on their feelings about my daughter. Short of cutting off all contact, what can I do for her and myself?

My parents had some work done on their home but couldn't have it all done at once because of the cost. They wanted a little time to pass to hire the workers to come back and finish the job. My husband heard this and offered his skills to finish the job. My parents were excited that they wouldn't have to wait so long now. They all set up a day and time for him to come over. After the work was complete, thank you, handshakes and hugs were given by my parents. Ever since then my husband has been complaining that he should have been paid and is hurt that they didn't even offer him anything. No mention of payment was ever made so I think he should not have assumed he was going to be paid. Am I wrong? should my parents have paid him?

I am always so busy with work, hobbies and house repairs and yet I still have time to feel lonely. My family discarded me for whatever reason though since I have never been demanding or cruel, each feels I am and always will be there if they have a problem (needs to borrow money, needs baby sitter, needs me to do something for them). When I need help I actually have no one to call- I fell and tore the skin off my knee and struggled alone in pain until the scab loosened enough to bend my knee again.

I made sure both my children graduated from college with no debt and now both are with mates that do not want my son and daughter to associate with me- and both of my children who were inseparable from me their entire youth have chosen mates over me instead of ones that enjoy family.

I wonder had I been abuse like my children's in-laws would my kids be sucking up to me now begging to be loved and accepted?

My daughter's biological dad is no longer a part of our life. He was abusive and had some drug problems as well as alcohol problems. He lost is parental rights two years ago and was calling me about once a month up until a few months ago when the calls just stopped. When he'd call, he'd always be drunk and trying to fight and I would hang up on him. I have no idea where he lives or how to get a hold of him and we have no reason to speak to each other. I don't miss him calling, but I worry about how the calls just suddenly stopped- if he's okay or if he's in jail or dead or whatever. I have no way to contact him, and that part doesn't really worry me- I'm just worried that something bad happened to him. Is this normal?

I am 22 years old. I never knew who my dad was, and I was totally comfortable never knowing.
Well, my mom decided to introduce me to my grandma and uncle on my dad's side. I really like them, which is a suprise, because I didn't think I would. I have yet to meet my dad though. Actually, he still doesn't even know I exist.
Well, my new Grandma and uncle have this plan to introduce us at a family christmas party. I'm not too sure how that's gonna go over...
I'm pretty confused right now, I mean I didn't ask for all of this new family, and I'm not even sure I really want to meet my dad. I do plan on keeping a relationship with my grandma and uncle though, because I really like them.
I am just so confused right now, I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions/advice appreciated

current society tells us that a family is composed of a father, a mother and their children.

what if one of the parents is not present? would you still consider it a family?

so my mom is addicted to online gaming and chatting to people on the internet. it all started when she bought herself a laptop. she would stay online for countless hours and sleep all day, my dad confronted her about it and she stopped for a while. then about three months ago she started again, she goes 3 sometimes 4 days with only an hour of sleep a day. she pays absolutely no attention to us(her family) including my grandma(her mom) who has recenctly been put in a nursing home. she completely ignores her friends. her and my dad fight constantly over this, she lives on the couch with her laptop. she'll go days without brushing her teeth or a shower. if someone tries to talk to her she replies "i'm busy". my dad is hardly ever here(he's a director). my sister moved out. so its usually my mom and i. I always try to talk to her about this but all she does is yell and say hurtful things i'm worried. she has completely let herself go. my dad and i have no clue what to do. PLEASE HELP ASAP

I get a bit of grief from people about this subject ...... Parents are responsible for their children ..... and should not winge about having to pay for them .... Being responsible for creating a life they are duty bound to provide for them until the day they die .... that is what happens when you create a life ..... Children are for life !!!!!!

My 2 daughters are now 21 and 19 years old. I have been divorced from the mother for many years and always supported them with child payments to there mum and some extra when needed and i kept in contact with them (i work over seas). Unfortunatly there mother died earlyer this year and i was there to help though her illness and when she died. My two daughters had got themselfs into money trobbles and i sorted that out for them. I paid for them to go on a holiday to Grease for 1 month so they could chill out after there mother died. I was also helping them out when they got back from holiday but now they have both quit there jobs and are always asking for money. I told them that they have to get back on there own feet and i was giving them a helping hand sorting out there old debts but now they have to suvive without my help. They are just saying bad things about me when i do not give in to there money demands. Am i doing right so they learn to find there own way or am i being to hard?
