Family - November 2007

My family just recently found out our house is being foreclosed.
We don't know where we're gonna live.
I'm a junior in high school with a 3.9 GPA, but no money to go to college.
I am basically raising my little brother.
I'm in love with my best friend, and it's a really screwed up friendship, because she's not sure if what she wants.
Whenever my friends make plans with me they back out last minute.
I'm in a "I don't care about anything" phase right now, just because I'm pissed about everything that's going on and I think it'll be easier to just forget about everything and live life alone.
I don't want to talk about any of this with my parents because they try so hard and none of this is really their fault.
Advice?

Hi. I am 13 years old and 80 percent of the time treat my parents like trash. I tell them to go away, their embarasing me, or just am not very nice. Do parents (you) take it hard or get over it and realize we are just being normal teens.... thanks.

I'm 19 and I am so ready to move out. Im in college and have a new car, bills, all that so I cant afford it. but I am going crazy living here! my family treats me like im 7 years old. while im in the shower my mom goes through my cell, tries to long onto my facebook, even goes through my purse and my car! ive asked her so many times to stop but she doesnt. she cries if I get a C on a test or if em and my boyfriend have a fight. she always somehow finds out and then its like I actually have to calm her down! its so weird...and I cant take it. why does she feel the need to know (and try to control) every move I make

I know a woman that is constantly interfering in other family members schedules and plans by changing times, dates or pick-up's and "drop-offs"....particularly if the activitivity is something that she was not asked to be involved with.

If someone has planned an outing or trip and the trip involves something she doesn't approve of then she does her best to re-arrange times, places, who's going etc... or to cancel the trip altogether.

She is a "Director" where she works, but how can we as family members keep her out of our scheduling and plans? She is always wanting to be "in-charge" of our lives, our household and our relationships with others.

It's very frustrating because she won't take "no" for an answer..... and if she's caught..... she'll cry and try to back-peddle" her way out of what she's done or said by saying it's her job to be "concerned" about the family and the kids.

Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

I know my friend's parents who were married 40 years plus, and then died within years of each other.

Their son and daughter eventually got married, and both got divorced.

Why is it that this generation can't hold a marriage. And I find it funny why this son and daughter got divorced, because they usually say if a parent's marriage lasted so will their future generations? Can anyone prove me wrong or right?

No matter what I do, my family always makes me feel like a screw-up.

I'm 19 years old. I quit college because I decided it wasn't for me. I thought that I was wasting time and money because I didn't want to be there.

I have a good job, my salary is $25k a year with full benefits and a lot of room for advancement. When I decide I'm ready for college, I will recieve full tuition reimbursement.
I bought myself a new car. I help my mother pay her bills.

But no matter what, they always act like I should be doing better.

My sister is a drug addict and when I bring that point up, like if I say, "Well at least I don't do drugs..." it's not good enough.

I've actually considered going into the military to make them think better of me.


What else can I do?

I am a single mother with 3 kids 2 of which are still at home. their father seems to only want to help when he wants to, he feels the drugs are more important. I left their father about 8 years ago looking for a new start, because i was right there with him on drugs and i knew my kids deserved better. so i got away and have been clean ever since. while i was with him i got in trouble for the first and only time and it is true what they say about your past following you ever where you go. I haven't been able to get or keep a job, because as soon as they see that 1 mistake my chance has gone out the window. I am on HUD and sometimes i cant pay my bills, but then out of the blue it seems like something comes along. I always keep my faith, because i know GOD will not make a mountain I can't climb. I just pray he will come through for me this Christmas as well, i may have done things in my past, but my kids haven't, so please let them know that things aren't always going to be bad.

As I have mentioned before my dad bought the house I live in and I pay him rent so he is my landlord, his name and my name are on the papers, not my mom's, recently he paid my mom's niece to repaint all the rooms and since that was being done we also cleaned up the rest of the house, I admit it was messy but not trashed, now my mom, who is a neat freak, is threatning that if I don't keep the house as clean as she expects it to be, which is spotless 24/7 she is going to kick me and my girls out and sell the house, can she legaly kick us out just for not having it as clean as she wants? I can see it happening if I was having partys and trashing the place but not for having the girls toys on the floor, I do my best to keep it clean but with 2 small kids it is hard to keep it perfect, and some days I am to busy with other things to clean, it is a lot of stress on me.

My family, and my husbands family were all together last night and half of my family wouldn't quit STARING at me! I am almost sure I have given up Yale because I am now pregnant but married. I still may go, but I am not 100% sure. Half my family thinks I made a HUGE mistake. My mom and Dad are thrilled because they will have a grandchild but idk know. They are so pissed at me. My family is let's say, above middle class financially, so I don't even really need a job for the money. My husband is going to Yale as well and I will go to Connecticut with my hubby but what do you think? Is my family right? Do they have a reason to do this to me? It was the worst thanksgiving of my ENTIRE life.

today both of my parents worked and i hadto babysit my freakin brother (he's 4). well he whines everytime something doesnt go his way and cries if he barely gets hurt (like bumps his knee). well my stepmom babys him. everytime he "gets hurt" she picks him up and cuddles him. EVERY FREAKIN TIME! And when he doesnt get what he wants, she always breaks down and does what he wants. my dad acts like he does a better parenting job but he is just as bad. well now to my question. today i had to watch him. i thought it would be fun if him and i watched transformers. well when it was over, he wanted to watch it again. i said no because the texas game is coming on and we just watched it. well he threw a fit and yelled at me. i told him that if he keeps it up that ill send him to his room and have dad deal with him when he gets home. he then growled at me and went into the other room to cry. i dont feel sorry for my decision because the kid needs some structure and discipline in his life.

My husband moved from PA to NC to be with me. We have known each other for a very long time (he was my first boyfriend at the age of 14!). I loved him then as I do now (just more mature now). I wasn't pregnant when he proposed to me, but 2 months later I became pregnant. Because of child support reasons (they told us that because he was paying so much ($129.89 a week) that if we got married sooner that would change his child support), but when we called the day we got married they told us it wouldn't be lowered at all; but raised. And only after the new baby was born will the child support go down; and they told us that we would have to show paternity testing that this child was truely his. I used to live in PA and my mother used to be a paralegal there. Why is the child support office making our lives HELL? Could his ex be telling them lies? (By the way she only has him 2 weeks out of the month, and child support doesn't count that out of her monthly money!)

I am a single, straight, 28 year old male that lives at home with his parents and other adult siblings. I am very successful in my career and I am highly educated as well, so it's not like I am a lazy person as some may want to believe when they hear I choose to live at home. My parents actively encourage their kids to live at home as long as they would like and rent free of course. What I don't understand is the jealousy people have of my living arrangements. If they are so jealous, most of them, I am sure, could make arrangments to move back home. I am the brunt of many nasty comments/jokes like this due to many forms of jealousy. It is worth noting that these arrangements did not come easy. I had to cultivate this great relationship with my family over a number of years. So it's not like anything was doled out to me. Plus, this is the least our parents can do considering all the years of joy we have given them in the past. They get a real kick out of that when I tell them that!

I know there isn't much we can do that we have already done.
We've talked to him, tried to help him fix his loud car, .....called the city .
This man is 44 years old and lives in his mother's garage that only has a space heater in it.
He gets ready for work at 3:00 am, and starts his loud car, and leaves it run, while slams the door as he puts his papers for his paper rout in the car...lol.

The house is too small and the mother has her other handicapped son living with her also.
The mother has told us, she wished he could find his own place, but......she hasn't the heart to kick him out.
What would you do?
We cannot move, we own our house.
we cannot move to a diffenet bedroom, they all facing the same side.

For the past four days, me and my brother have been planning on going shoppping at like four am on black friday (today). All of my friends were going with their parents or sisters or whatever, so I was going with my brother. Last night, at like midnight, he decides he doesn't want to get up that early and so we're not going. I'm really, really mad at him because of this, if he had told me earlier, I could have gone with my friends! He doesn't think he did anything wrong and is making it seem like I'm the one who did something wrong. Do I have the right to be angry? Or am I just being spoiled?

I am a 14 year old girl. I live with my family: dad, mom, sister-20 years old, brother-17 years old, 4 cats, and a dog. My mother smokes constantly and everyone in the house is sick and tired of the constant smoke ruining our skin, lungs, body. It is completely disgusting and I can not stand it. Also, I am the only person in my house that can not drive, so my mom usually drives me places and she smokes in the car. I try talking to my mom about her smoking but she completely refuses to even do that. I have no idea what to do about any of it. She makes it so difficult to live and to like her. She knows she is killing herself and everyone in the house but truthfully, she seems not to care. Sometimes I get really angry when she's smoking and do crazy stuff to bring her attention to her smoking issue. Once I cut up 5 packs of cigarettes and poured them in her bed (my mom and dad don't sleep together). Also, I threw her ashtray into the street once (damn thing doesn't break). Please help! :(

What to do about family who comes to every event as a guest and takes loads of leftovers home?
Every holiday and family event, my sister and I prepare a HUGE meal for about 25 people. What can we do about other members of our immediate family that attend every year, sit down and expect to be waited on, then leave first taking home several meals worth of leftovers? Some will bring a dish to pass, but still sit on their behinds the whole time while my sister and I bust a** to pick up after everyone and do the clean up. They don't monitor their pre-teen children who are sure to be first in line for food and take several servings of dishes on their first time through the line as my sister and I cringe worrying there won't be enough of the favored dishes to go around, only for those children to leave mega portions of untouched food on their plate laying around the house for us to dispose of later. While my sister and I are finally eating, they announce that they have to leave and they fill up a pan of leftovers sufficient to feed their family several meals... what to do?
