Family - November 2007

my son was dating his gf for over 4 years, they had a baby 9 months ago, and i supported her mentaly through it all. to the end. son had some drug issue problems and i had tp get him in rehab , i been through alot with him he is one of those Intervention kids who rebels on the parents! son now moved out 2 weeks ago, his gf finally on msn got to me, with harsh words such as im a terrible mom, she always hated me and pretended to like me so she could come to my house, she dont need to come over now since son moved, i thnk this was her oppurtunity to be mean to me, also called me a hussy off the street lol. she hangs with a grown woman from work inher 40s who said to say that to me. i had been to hell and justc starting to come back , since son was 15 years old, he was a hand full. I guess she states im a horrible person. but really im not, but was frustrated from sons lifestyle and corruption of our home for 9 years . many arguemnts in the home

For the past couple of years my mom has been obsessed with her guinea pigs. Me, my mom, and sister were forced to live in a small bedroom at our grandpa's house. Also in the bedroom is 11 guinea pigs. There are 6 big cages taking up a ton of space and the room is extremely cramped. The room is very uncomfortable. It smells like guinea pig poop and ammonia from the pee. You walk in the room and the smell hits you like a ton of bricks.
Another thing is when we try to sleep during the night, it is hard to get to sleep because the guinea pigs are constantly making noises with bells and squeaking. And at 8 in the morning they wake us up the same way!
Also being that it is winter, and it is cold now..we aren't allowed to turn on the heater because my mom doesn't want her guinea pigs to get too hot. So me and my sister have to almost freeze because of it.
It is making everyone in the family uncomfortable and she doesn't seem to care...
What do you think about her behavior?

She has really put me thru hell over the last 10 yrs or so, and I am relieved she has finally moved 130 miles away with yet another new boyfriend who's parents were gracious to let her move in to their house.
I bought her a really expensive I pod last year and her skank boyfriend she had back then threw it and its ruined. I cant really afford to spend a lot on her.
I dont want to just blow her off, after all, I did give birth to her, but I really have had enough of her crap. She refuses to work a full time job, I imagine the kind people she lives with probably feel sorry for her, not knowing her shinannigans and what she is capable of until she warms up to them.
What should I get her? Oh yeah and thanks for letting me vent a little.

I know there is alot of you out there with difficult mothers. Don't get me wrong, I love her she just can be very.....what's the word, controling, challenging, manipulative, dishonest, insincere. I have four children and this time of year is very important to me. Honestly, I am not even sure she knows all my kids names. She only sends gifts to my daughter but never my sons for their birthdays and I always have to make up some excuse to protect their feelings. How do I carefully draw the boundaries. I'm not interested in confronting her on her behavior because she is like a wild animal who feels threatened when she cornered and she attacks you back or throws a giant guilt trip on you for feeling the way you feel. Should I just grit my teeth and get through it. Any tips?

A friend of mine makes her 13 yo daughter wear a bodysuit, that undergarment that covers all your torso, back and nd breasts and clips at your crotch. The girls hates that thing, says it's uncomfortable, makes her sweat and none of her friends wear thst thing. But my friend, her mom , says it's for her best, thinks it's god for her body and especially for modesty. She says if most moms were like her, there wouldnt be so many cases of teen pregnancy. She doesnt back off, her girl tried to rebel but got punished, grounded and had to give in. I dont agree w/ my friend though I know she's sure its for her girl best. I'd like to know if this can be considered child abuse. I don't think it is, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I don't think it'd be a good idea for the girl to report her mom and I dont think she would, after all shes her mom , but Id like to know if this is illegal

? My mother calls me up because I am having medical problems and she says my doctor is a quack and does not know what he is doing. Her advice is ludicrious and crazy. I try to end the conversation as quickly as possible by saying "cya." She does not want me to hang up though and I do not want to listen her idiotic advice. If she calls me again then I will not answer the phone.

It has made it so that i avoid basically that whole side of the family. I never felt like they cared about me anyways. They know i'm angry so it makes it harder to want to see them> They invited me for a xmas thing and i'm not going. It's just how i deal...ignore, avoid. I cant help it.

My daughter just came back from visiting her Dad and grandmother over the Thanksgiving holiday.

She had a great time and really enjoyed herself. They bought her things, took her out and gave her the food that she likes to eat.

Now, she is back with me and keeps comparing what I do to how they did things.

She does not like the food that I make and keeps saying the her grandmother made better food than me. She also says that she never ate pasta there and I make pasta about once per week here. Its quick and easy and I add salad, vegetables to it to make a complete meal.

She also says that they gave her milk there. I always have milk in the house and she does not want to drink it when I ask her to.

I feel sad when I hear these comparisons, but don't know how to react other than saying you are free to go and live with them if you want. Then, she says that she can't.

Ok this morning my sister woke up and told me it was 6:45, and usually i have to finish showering and dressing by 7:00. So i didnt wash my hair or anything, and i took a quick shower with only soap. Well when i got out, a i realized it was still only 6:00!! I got mad at my sister, who was taking a leisurely bath, and went and said a few choice curses that i won't name here. Well i was right outside my bathroom, and then i saw my MOM. RIGHT. BEHIND. ME. She had just woke up and was walking downstairs. She just had a tiny mad (mostly sleepy)face on, and kept walking downstairs. I just looked at her guiltly. Now i feel horrible. She has stress problems, and she hates it when my sister and i fight. And as it turns out, i had only misunderstood my sister. She said it was 5:45!! What do i do to make it up, or what do i say 2 her?? She mite not say anything about it..whatdo i do then??

I am his limited guardian at this time, but have already gone to court because the mother is trying to revoke it. I have raised this child since he was 2 wks. old. The mother was sent to jail the day he was born, and in & out of jail ever since. 10 months ago, she called me from 2000 miles away -which is where we all used to live - but i had moved away over 1 yr prior to this - to come and get the child AGAIN as she had no one to take care of him AGAIN. Now she is homeless again and wants benefits from the child to provide her income/housing. No- kid - no benefits. He is currently in school here and will go to another state and become her meal ticket. They will arrive on a street corner with no where to live. She has airline tickets. I personally can tell that this is not a good environment for the child (she is a drug user too) but how do I prove this to the court? I need evidence of some kind?? Other than my word. And any other route that I cannot come up with?? Please help

we moved my father 89yrs old in with us in July. We have tried very hard to make him feel comfortable and keep as busy as he can( he has arthritis in his knees and a very weak heart). He never seems to be satisfied with anything. His answers to our questions are always negative. If I go out to visit a friend for a few hours, when I get back he says well that was a long visit, I can't get along without you here. If I don't sit and watch tv with him he pouts and won't talk for awhile. He told my husband once when I was out shopping that it was getting dark and I needed to be home. My father has never been a person to have much compassion all his life. He has met his gr grandchildren for the first time since they were born and he hasn't come to our home in the last 30 yrs although we have made twice yearly trips to see about him in Vermont from our home in Tennessee. What is the solution? I would feel very guilty putting him in a home, because he still has a very sharp mind. any help

Story in a nutshell: Kicked me out because i didn't want to get married until after the child was born. Did not find out he was born until 2 weeks after. She put father unknown on the birth cert. Allowed me to see him at six month's for two hours a fortnight. Went to mediation to work towards overnight visits. Week before overnight visits meant to start, denied access. Back to mediation and same thing happened for the next four years. One day i just got fed up and told her i was sick of the **** and she could look after him. Now after 8 years i have initiated mediation again. Any advice on how to handle her? If there's no resolution i'm getting court orders drawn up. Any advice on how to approach the questions my son will ask?
I do not claim to be innoccent or not handled things well. She was 18 and wanted an abortion, I guess i didn't take into account her feelings when i said no. Any advice instead of abuse.

My mom passed away weeks ago and left my dad alone, I found him often staring at something for hours without move a muscle, or doesn't speak, he has a slow reaction since then.. I'm 24 soon to be 25, still in college getting Master degree, dad got a high pay job and pension, enough to support both of us, and he said he wishes me living with him till he dies...he doesn't want anyone else.

I want to, I haven't got job yet, dad could take care of me and I can take care of him too, but I don't know if I can stay with him till death. ..If I get married someday, can I ask my future husband to live in my dad's house?.....What if I get a job, and too busy to take care of him?
