Family - November 2007

I was wondering how it all works. How do they determine who gets him for how long? The father was charged with domestic violence last year. Does that hurt his chances? And I have no record. He only asks to see him like 1 time a month and he usually asks like 10 minutes before he wants to visit. I told him to ask the day before so I am prepared and not busy. But he is dumb and cant get it throught his head. Unless he trying to just make it seem like I dont let him see the baby. I have told him a bunch of times he can see the baby whenever he wants just let me know ahead of time. Someone help me please...im going crazy thinking the father is going to be the main parent. He doesnt deserve it. I only want him to have supervised visits, because of his temper.

Hi everyone,

I am pregnant ( 2nd month) and I want to go abroad to visit my family. My husband who is not able to travel with me wants his mum to go with me. When I told my family they did not like the idea, they are looking forward to my visit which will last for a month. My family asked me to try to avoid bringing his mum with me. How can I manage this situation. How can i tell my husband without hurting his feelings. His mum is very special to him and I don't want him to realise that she is not welcome.
I am looking forward to booking my ticket and fly home, pls help me solve this.

BIG THANK YOU

I don't know if anyone else has these issues or not but some feedback would be great. My mother-in-law never wants to spend quality time with us or our son. This is her very first grandchild and shes even an elementary school principal. She just always makes excuses to never see him and if she does its maybe once a month for a few hours with us present. Also if we ask to babysit ,which we rarely do and we havent gone out my husband and i in 6 months, she always says no shes busy going here or there or she'll go and ask my sis in law. it just aggrevates me because if i wanted to ask her i would! Is this normal behavior for a grandmother? my mom lives 4 hours away and i know shed be kidnapping our kid every chance she got because she does it when we visit her. I mean I don't know if i should approach her and mention it because it bothers me but my husband says shes missing out oh well. i mean grandpa is so involved but grandma is MIA. im open to suggestions so plz give me some!

I was born in India though I am not Indian. I was raised in a very introverted sort of an atmosphere. I was never ever encouraged to go out and socialize and now my family moved to Germany and now my parents suddenly changed their view of things. They suddenly want me to go out and socialise and they want me to open up. I have spent 14 years as an introvert and now suddenly they are like ordering me to be an extrovert. I have been trying my level best. I joined debate club, I have made quite a few friends and my grades are OK too. But they want me to be something more than that. They keep complaining about my gardes too. I am getting like A- in everything and still they want more. They are just not ready to believe that I am working hard enough. I am so screwed. I am really going to break at one point.

My husband & I have moved into my mother in law's house so we can take care of her. My sister in law who is an animal lover (which I am too) used to stay with my mom in law, but since we are moving in (and sister in law is basically getting her freedom back) we have asked her (over a freakin month now) to get all her animals. My mom in laws house is only 1100 sq feet & my sis in law had a yorkie dog (has mange), a friggin howling tom cat that howls all night long, a full grown german shepperd that has had 3 litters of puppies already under my mom in laws house. WE HAVE BEGGED HER TO MOVE HER WILD KINGDOM DOWN TO HER HOUSE, BUT SHE IS TAKING HER SLOW *** TIME ABOUT IT. Well it is 1:37 am right now & her crazy cat has woke me up howling again. I have opened the front door and I am hoping it will have the ballz enough to come in here (it hates me) & want to go on out the front door, where I want it. Should I have patience for another week (while I go insane without sleep) or............

I have gotten into trouble with drinking recently so my parents bought a breathalyzer. Now everytime I come home from going out, they make me blow in it. I think they are being extremely over the top but I can see their concern with drinking and driving. Finally I have just become so fend up with them not being able to trust be without having the proof that I told them I was not going to take the test anymore. They automatically assumed I was drinking. They found an open beer can in my backseat from a friend who left it in my car and accoused me for it. They now are going to sell my car. How can I get them to not sell my car and finally trust me again? What should I do? Please give suggestions and don't judge :)

When i found out, i went off on my mom, calling her all sorts of names, i was upset, i felt lied to, my dad is my stepdad, but he has been there for me since i was 3 yrs old. I had the upmost respect for my mother until this happened. and now i dont have the nerve to talk to her as i have so much hatred for what she did. The reason she gave was that my dad hasnt worked in a 1yr, to me that is not an excuse at all, you dont go cheat on your husband of 20 years just because he doesnt have a job. Please help me bring my family back together.

Okay, there's a lot of backstory here. I have two sisters, we're all close in age, but they've always been especially close. I'm actually okay with that. I was off doing my own thing that they weren't interested in, and that was fine while we were growing up. After I graduated, I went off to college, instead of staying home, and my mom, dad and sisters decided that must mean I no longer want to be a first-class member of the family. My parents were separated for months before they so much as told me, and they only told me because they were about four hours away from having me show up over a weekend and seeing that Dad no longer lived there. God knows how long they would have let me stay in the dark there.

Fast forward ten years. After living out of state because my husband was transferred, we're back, and I don't know, I guess I thought since I live FIVE FREAKING MINUTES from my sisters and mom, they would include me if they go to lunch or go shopping or whatever.

I married my husband two years ago. Before that, it was just my son and I and things were fine. He seemed to really get along with my son and my little boy liked him a lot. We got married and things were fine for awhile, but lately, since my daughter has been bornl, he has become stricter with him and more inclined to punish him for smaller things that I don't feel are important to merit more than a talking to. My son is a good boy, if a little whiney sometimes, and I am a loving mother, if a little too easy going sometimes, but it has worked for us. Now, I have allowed my husband, who wants to be a father and not a friend, to met out consequence, all except for spanking, which I do, but not hard and not often. I have told my husband not to spank my son, but he has done it a couple times recently. I am not happy about this, but am I not being fair? Maybe stop spankings altogether? Any advice, help, opinions would be most helpful and appreciated.

I'm expecting my first child any day now and as my husband works away my mother has come to say with me. Unfortunately she's driving me crazy. Last time she stayed with us she destroyed my kitchen, this time it was the carpet in the living area. It's covered under our insurance, but I'm now left with a bare cement floor which I'm told wont be fixed for at least 6 weeks. I'm scared about what she's going to do next. I've asked her to leave once already telling her she was putting me under a bit of extra stress, but she started crying and made me feel like a monster. I don't know how to get her to go but she's got to go. I can't watch her 24/7, I'm too tired.

Many parents shy away from disciplining either a very small child or a teenager. They are sure that the one is too young to understand correction and the other too old for physical indignity. Then, what age really a child should be disciplined?

ok so i want to move out of my house after i graduate from high school, but i brought it up with my parents and they arnt going for it. ive explained that i want to move out because i want to be more independent even though i will be going to a community college here in town. they just dont get it. they told me if i do move out that i have to pay for every thing, my car, cell phone, rent, etc. it kind of like they are bribing me with money. i would be moving in with 4 guys and another girl but me and that girl who ive been best friends with for over 4 years would be sharing a room. does anyone have and ideas of what could get my parents to change their minds. im going to start savingup money from my paychecks every month to try and prove that i can save my money and be responsible. ive always been a good kid and have gotten good grades. so im going to continue doing that. but if any one has any more tips that would be great! thanks!

I have a 10 year old daughter and two sons 14,13. Now you would think I would be having trouble with the 14 and 13 well thats not the case. My daughter is throughing fits like she is 2 years old,If I tell her to do something or everything is not going her way it is true hell in my house. All the kids lived with there dad for 3 years and now they are living with me. I spent most of the summer fighting for costudy,I spent alot of time and money. This is what they want as well as myself. I know there is alot to adjudt to but the recation I have been getting out of her is a nightmare. Now the sad thing is that her brothers think that I let her get away with the fits and I dont,So if they dont get there way they say I will just act like Hailey. This is all turning the house upside down. I find myself cring alot and just dont know what to do .

I am twenty years old and living in my father's house.
We have been having this fight, and I have been stalked by my father on campus and locked in my house and threatened to be disowned if I leave. I have been having night terrors lately and cannot sleep because of it. After talking with a psychologist at my school that I was forced to see, they want to report my father for emotionally abusing me.
I fear my father physically attacking me if I do report him. He has gone after me already but has not touched me because he was stopped in time by my mother. Should I go through with it and report him? Is there any other way to get help without my father getting in trouble with the law?

I do not condone what my sister is doing. I tried to support her and be positive and tried to get her to look from the outside of the box when it comes to her married-live-in-boyfriend. He says that his intentions are to get a divorce. That's been since June. I truly don't think he is going to and I have a funny feeling that he doesn't have good intentions with my sister. Can't make her see that though. Even when she asks for advice. She just basically blows it out the window. Her boyfriend comes first and then her kids and then the rest of us. My birthday past, my son's birthday past and she forgot. No card either. She hasn't given me a birthday card in four years. She hasn't done anything for my son since he was born either. I'm tired of being the conscience one when it comes to her birthday and holidays. Her excuse is, "i'm too busy", or "i haven't had the time". That's a bunch of hog wash because she goes to WalMart almost every day. No kidding. To be cont....
