Family - October 2007

My parents won't let me have a second piercing in my ears, but I REALLY want them. Any opinions or suggestions are accepted. I'll choose the one that convinces my parents to let me have the second piercing.
THANKS

My partner and I were talking and we both agree that in the event that something were to happen to her that the best place for her daughter is with me. I've grown to love them both and I treat her like my own child, but since we're aren't married what would we need to make sure I don't lose them both in the event something happens to my girlfriend? My girlfriend doesn't have any close siblings, and she talks to her mother all but once a year. I was told I can not adopt her daughter until we are ready to get married since the real father (who hasn't been around since birth and had made it clear that he has no intention of ever caring for this little girl, but he has to sign her over I guess. So.. Since we're not married, I cannot adopt her daughter. What exactly would my girlfriend have to do to make sure she's not taken from me in the event something were to happen to her? (I worry about this all the time) Thanks!

I'm A 16-year old brother who wants to fix the attitude of a twitched little 13-year old brat. Also, some things about her such as: she gets a meltdown when something she planned goes wrong, and if I say "get out of my room", she starts to get negative and crap, but she hasn't expose this to her friends yet, and i don't know why. She's just a 13-year old and thinks she knows everything and i can't do anything about it. She never respects other's privacy and she only wants boys that look fine or hot, and she's just a pain in the ***! Does she need extreme counseling??? or send her to the MAURY show or something??? She Is like this for about More than 3 years, even her parents say that her future is at risk and say that I have more hope. Can Somebody please help me???

I feel I should limit my daughters internet usage. What is a reasonable amount of time to let her stay on it each day?

Be brutally honest with me, am I being unfair about this?

I desperately want to move. I'm not talking across the country or anything, just to an area that I like better It has better schools for our 10 month old daughter, housing is cheaper, and there are plenty of jobs for DH. I also think that if we are going to move, now is the time to do it, before our daughter is old enough for it to upset her.

DH says that he likes where we are living now, that it would be too much stress it sell up and move, that he doesn't want to move closer to my mother (haha!), and that he doesn't want to move away from his friends and family. He absolutely detests his job here at the moment, and there are so many opportunities for him where I want to move.

Am I wrong in wanting to move?

My daughter had her 4th birthday party today. Since she was born, I have made it clear to everyone around me that I didn't want her to play with Bratz dolls. I think the message they send to little girls isn't a good one. My sister in law (who lives in another state) knows of my feelings about this and has in the past commented that she didn't see any reason why I should have a problem- her daughter (much older than my daughter) collects Bratz dolls. I have never said anything bad about her daughter, personally, I have just stated that I felt these dolls send out a bad message.
My daughter got a package in the mail from this aunt for her birthday- I didn't look first- didn't think I needed to. When she opened the present at the party, it was 2 bratz dolls. I couldn't just take them away from her because that would have been wrong and I can't take them away now. I guess I'll have to let her play with them. But what should I say, if anything, to my SIL who I know did this on purpose?

I go to school during the weekdays. I stay home all day during the weekends w/o doing anything, but stick to my laptop. I barely spent time with my family or younger sibling going out because they are at work or my sibling is either on the computer all day. I work during school days everyday. I used to do volunteer work during the weekends, but not now because I wanted something different maybe bored of repeating job that I was given. The only time I stick close to my family is when I'm on the dinner table. I don't know what to spend my time on the weekends because I am so free. I don't have much friends. Am I doing something wrong here?

A friend of mine says it is bad that only four or five nights a week my family has a family meal together. My fiance works and my little daughters have to be in bed by 7 so I give them and my 3 year old niece that lives with me dinner at 6. My soon-to-be-step-kids eat by 7:30 with me and if their father is home him too. On Saturdays and Sundays we are always all over the place and I can never cook a meal so I order out or make something in the microwave and we all eat at different times. Is this bad?

Help! Me and my sis need space! Our room is so cluttered and we get so angry at each other! Our apartment is small because my mom died 2 years ago and she was making half of the money. We just moved in about 2 weeks ago. Me and my sis are getting on each other's last nerves! We do have the biggest room in the apartment and my dad and brother each have their own room. Me and my sis have our own bathroom, but it takes forever to get a turn. Is there any ideas of how to cope with my sis and sharing a bathroom in the morning? We have a bunk bed so it takes away some of the clutter but we have one desk and one laptop which we can't cope with because I (Maria) am in 10th grade and she (Kiera) is in 9th. Sure we usually get along but the room thing isn't working! If you have any tips please help!

I really love my children. However, I often find that it is hard for me to relate to my daughter (10). Why is it that I like it better to hold her brother(11) in my arms, to talk to him about life and to relate to him in general? I feel like a monster about this and I even have nightmares about me abandoning her. She is a lovely, beautiful, good and wonderful child. She is 2nd of three children. The youngest is also a boy. Help me please!

i HATE my bedroom right now. my mother painted it yellow when i was gone on a trip, and ever since i came home, i've certainly let her know that i very much dislike it. i cant STAND IT!!! ahh i dont know why but i really hate yellow rooms. so i live in a pretty large house, and theres about two empty bedrooms in my house that have nothing but junk in them. there's one downstairs in the basement and i would kill to live down there, so i asked if i could move my stuff down there and sleep there and stuff, and my parents said no!!! i asked them why and they just said that "i said so." i really want to sleep down there. i'd bring all my stuff down there myself, without asking my parents to lift a finger. nobody has been in that room in years, so i see no reason whatsoever why i cant just sleep there. is there some reason my parents aren't letting me that i dont understand, or are they being totally unreasonable? and also, what can i say to get them to let me?

thanks =]

Both my parents had troubled upbringings. My dad was abandoned when he was (approximately) 3 weeks old. He was found in a plastic bag in the local church grounds and grew up in an orphanage. My mum was training to be a nun and somehow they ended up falling in love together (he was the gardener at the church).

But anyway, it turns out that my dad is not my biological father. What I didn't know, was that the church my mum worked at was also a home for unmarried mothers and my mum was already pregnant with me when she met my 'dad'.

So now I'm not really the person I thought I was. What's wierd is that I really look like my dad. We have the same blonde hair and blue eyes and he's six foot 4 and , I'm 6 foot.

It feels wierd though. It would seem wierd to think that he's not really my dad.

Do you think it would be wierd if I just pretended that I didn't know about it and I just let it go? It feels like the cowards way out though!

thanks

My momther and i want to move away from her ex-boyfriend of 6 years, who we currently live with. WE are very tight on money, and she suggested sharing a house, with strangers. i hate this idea. im 13 years old and do not like sharing anything. expept with people i like but thats different. when it comes to living situations, i like my stuff in its place, no one can touch it. otherwise i get REALLY frusterated. soo anyway i was wondering what kind of places we could find that we could possibly each have our own space, but sharing a house. i havent even heard of that before, exept college students. but for a mother, her 13 year old daughter, and their dog?

what ever information of websites you have to help would be great.

I am 5 mos pregnant and also have a 2 year old from a lying, deceiving loser. My family, his family, including him find it shocking that I would leave him now at a time like this, especially since I'm 5 mos pregnant. I feel so sorry for my 2 year old and the baby in my womb that they won't have their dad around everyday. I know that leaving a man while you are pregnant is wrong to some, but I can not take any more lies and deceit from him. People tell me that I am crazy to leave him being pregnant especially since our daughter is only 2 and not to mention the unborn child. He told me if the kids ask when they grow up why he is not with me, he said he'll tell them that I left him while I was pregnant and it's my fault. This man lies too much, makes promises and never keep them. He do a lot of talking and less action. He hides things from me. Just because I am pregnant from a loser doesn't mean I should keep him. I feel bad for my kids because I grew up and was raised by both parents.

Everytime I tell my mom something about my son (her grandson) .. she instantly compares him to her cat! (my son is 2.5 months old)
Like today, I said my baby pooped and fell back to sleep and I didn't want to wake him to change him -- and she said how she won't wake her cat when he is sleeping. Then I told her to STOP COMPARING MY SON TO HER CAT -- THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE (because she does it ALL the time).
She said there is NO difference.. and that she cares as much about her cat as her grandson .. and by the end of the conversation, she said the cat comes first!
I don't know what to do! My mom and I are extremely close (her and my dad divorced when I was 2, and my mom raised me .. and I'm an only child)
It's just so frustrating because this happens on a daily basis. Whenever I ask my mom to help me with the baby (when running errands) she always makes me rush around so she can get home to her cat. And now (over the phone) she just admitted the cat comes first!
What do I do?

Here is my situation, I am living here with my mom, I have been for the past year, well I do not want to be here anymore and then I asked her if I could live back with my dad and she said no and that she is going to be taking my dad to court and that I would have to live with her anyway and so I said that I had a say in where I want to live, and so she was basically like, yes you have a say in want goes on but you would not be living with your grandparents, (because that’s whose house I would be staying at if I go back to Florida, because my dad does not have a house because he is a truck driver.) anyway and she also said that she would win because she is my parent and they are not. So basically I am being held here agents my will and it’s very, very hard to wake up every morning because I miss my family and I am not happy at all and I have thought of killing my self because I do not like it here.

My friend's mother was raised VERY strictly going up...too strictly to the point that I wonder if it was a tad bit destructive? What do you think of this?

My friend and her family has lived in Philly for generations. Her mother lived in a neighborhood of Philly that was not bad, but not the greatest neighborhood either(it was in-between). When her mother was 18 and a high school graduate, she wanted to go to center city Philly(oh, a whole 15mins away) to a museum or some exhibit with an all-female group of friends she'd known for a while. Her mother(aka my friend's grandmother) refused to let her! You heard me right...at age 18, she was "not allowed" to go out with her girl friends(all girls, so no chances of premarital sex) to her own city! Center city Philly wasn't slummy either.

Isn't that a bit weird? How is that preparing her for the real world and living on her own?
