Family - November 2007

My fathers new girlfriend doesn't like me and told me so. She said that she was never close to her father and doesn't understand my close relationship with my father. She says that she feels as if she is in competition with me and that she can't compete with me because I am perfect. Trust me, I am very far from perfect. I love my father very much and we became very close recently due to his recent illness in which he almost died. She has never been married nor does she have children. She is making him choose between us and I think that she may be succeeding. I really don't know how to deal with the situation. I left a message on my fathers phone and asked him to let me know what he wants. He is doesn't want me to call or visit him, he needs to let me know. She has made her feelings quite clear but I need an answer from him. He has yet to return my call. I am so sad that he would just toss our relationship away. What should I do to cope? Thanks.

I would like to get our son a toy train table for Christmas, it will cost around $150.00 - my husband wont hear of it at that cost and said that we will buy him a Doll house or a Kitchen Set instead (for less money) - Both my husband and I work and we can afford a $150.00 train set for our son - We spend more then that on our other 3 children at Christmas Time to begin with. Also, at bed time or nap time, he lays out stuffed animals and dolls for my son to sleep with- am I being silly, or is there something wrong here? We already have 2 daughters and 1 son -

when she speaks she looks like she knows what she is about to say. But when she opens her mouth to speak it looks like she can't breathe. Is there any trick that can help her speak better?

im planning on moving out my parents house in december. what should i do if my parents get upset and try to make me feel bad? I mean, I cant live with them forever, right?
I feel like the only reason my mother wants me to stay in her house is because i get social security checks from the state because my real dad passed away a few years back, and its like thats all she wants.. am i wrong for telling her that she can keep my checks when i leave? i really dont want them and i know she can use them...
please help with my questions.. i have alot going on, and need some advice.. thanks a lot!

I've have let my daughter go way overboard in the disrespect area with my husband largely because I feel guilty that her biological father is not in her life. (never has been) My husband, her stepfather is a good man, he has his flaws, and I have let her get away with many sly comments and at the expense of his feelings many times. I am not proud of this, I want to change, it gets really hard because she is at "that" age and many times I can see her side of things, which I know in the long run my husband is right and has her best interest in hand. Just how sucky of a mom am I being when I don't stand up (at the moment things are happening) Ok, I don't need a barage of finger pointing, just some ideas how to not get caught up in the middle of their fights, and stay objective, and head strong. It gets hard, its my husband and my daughter, I love both and they are driving me crazy with the fighting over everything.

My mum and dad have split up, and my dad was rather abusive to her...but unfortuntley, I'm just like him. I look like him, talk like him (Accent), think like him, but I'm not violent or anything- it's just, my Mum seems to see me in the same light, and she dosen't like who I am anymore.

She says that I am cold and angry towards her and my brothers and that she feels nervous whenever she is around, and i have no respect for her and expect her to do everything for me and then do nothing in return.

I am not the person she see me as. I have good friends, get on well in school, and live a generally chipper life- but she says I'm always scowling and angry- and I'm worried because that's exactly what she used to say to my dad.

And she would take the boys side in an argument any day. I can't do anything right in her eyes, I'm sorry I rambled...but i don't know what to do.

My 15 year old daughter just returned from MI after visiting her grandmother and father for the holiday. She is really missing them and keeps saying that she hates staying in the state where we live. She is not focused on her studies and her mind is with them. She said that she cried the night before she came back and told her grandmother that she did not want to come back.

She lived with her father from age 10 to 15. She just moved here a few months ago. I understand her feelings, but don't know what to do. It hard moving when you are in high school, but I had no choice because I could not see myself reuniting with her father. I don't know what to do when she expresses these feelings.

Now, her Dad has vacation and wants to spend more time with her. He does not know that we are living in an apartment. He thinks that we are still living with my parents. He wants to come and visit over the holidays and has asked me two times. I don't know how to respond.

My sister in law's husband has been sacked from the force for nearly four years now.
They have four childen and receive social services benefits(in Australia) They would get about $1000 a fortnight but her husband is also now working (receiving cash in hand - amd also social security benefits.
they are always crying poor, but whenever I see them, they have the latest new clothes, new hairstyles - spend $100's on hair colours, styles, cuts, etc.
Children have plenty of toys and new clothes and they recently bought a $500 dog to breed with their other $500 dog.

They cry poor a lot and say it's hard raising four children with little money.

Could there be more to it then this?

They took it because my sister was playing with it, and the only reason was because she had stolen my keys to the lock! Now they think I was letting her shoot at her "sworn enemy" and won't give it back no matter what! What should I do?

My mother is 49 and she started smoking few years ago with her female friends who were smoking cigars always. As the time was passing by , she used to smoke more and more every day without any of her friends. She started to buy cigars and her smoking increased rapidly i don't know why. Smoking cigars is now regular for her and i noticed that she is inhaling a lot smoke and less exhaling. And that is what bothers me, every day is more smoke in our house and she just can't stop it... Why is that happening?

Okay lets start with the facts.
I am 17, I will be 18 Jan. 14
My mom takes $400 out of every pay check, and then some extra cash here and there.
I babysit my brother and sister and get absolutely nothing for it.
She can't even buy me a bar of soap.
She don't buy me anything.
She don't clean the house, and she don't take care of my brother and sister. I do.
She basically just told me that my job means nothing to her and when she wants to go out she's going to do it and I will just have to call off.
I have no money saved up.
I have no life.
I have nothing because of her.
I want to move in with my memmy (gram), who is not blood, she's just raised me since I was born basically.

Can my mom come after me if I move out now?? Will I get in trouble, and have to go back with her?

When teenager that are my age (14) talk about smoking over the weekend it really confuses me because smoking is the reason my mother almost died of a heart attack, it was the cause of death for my grandfather who was a father to me, and because my mother smoked when she was pregnant with me i have asthma from it. I really don't understand why people find it cool because you look like an idiot with a stick hanging out of your mouth and and just wanted to know why people do it?

Lets say you post questions on online advice websites and you get the answers you like. However, a relative (mother, father, etc) says that they don’t believe in these websites and the answers that you received. But you like the websites as well as the answers you received due to the fact every answer you received solved your problem or made you feel good. MY QUESTION: would you ignore your relative(s) and say I like the answers I get and I like the websites

My daughters mom is now making it hard for me. I need to put her in school by my house and mom is fighting me to keep her in her same school even though it's over 15miles away from my house where the child currently resides. I'm confused about what to do, i'm tired of fighting with her been doin it too long. I'm finally getting to spend the deserved time with her and her mom seems to be sabotaging our relationship. what are my options legally? Is she old enough to decide legally that she wants to be with me? I live in Nevada.

Im 17 and in highschool. Im a little behind with my credits but am catching up. The problem is, my mom keeps telling me that I am not moving out untill I finish high school even if Im 18 before I finish. I hate living at home, I'm always fighting with my mom but I just dont understand why he thinks she can keep me home even when I'm legal and, by law, able to move out? She cant do that right?

it be fair to make him have to wear some? My daughters have had it and think if had to model one of thier really silky bra and panties it would teach him a lesson.
Does this punishment fit the crime?
