I hate everything about it. My mom forces me to sit in a car for 5 hours, drive to maryland to my cousins house, hes married to a woman with a 32 yr old daughter(not his) he has no kids with her. She has 4 kids- he calls himself the grandfather. His wifes family of 35 people are there who i dont know, arent friendly, make wise remarks to me about feeling bad that i live in nyc.
i also heard my cousin say that ive never been to a house before and i live in a nyc apartment and hes doing me a favour.
He doesnt even know me, i have friends in college whos families have mansions and their parents are much nicer to me.
In fact my friend invited me for thanksgiving, should i go?
I hate my cousin and his family, my mom thinks she had to go to his house,,, she told me if she tells him NO he will be mad and never talk to her again.

I have two sisters. My older sister is the athlete/model. She seems to have EVERYTHING. she is an awsome softball player and she is a model for barbazon modeling corporation. She has endless friends and a bf that loves her. My younger sister is the cute artist. Everyone babies her and she NEVER gets in trouble or grounded!! Everytime we go to our families house or something everyone remembers there names and always forgets mine. they remember the older one as the model, and the younger one as the cute one. And if we're talking to ppl we havent met, they'll be like to me, "you dont look like ur sisters" I just hate it. i feel so left out and ignored. I tried being like my older sister, but it just made me feel even worse since i'm not as pretty, popular, and athletic as she is. What can I do to get a little reconition around my family?!

Ok well I have a sucky job at a gym right now and I applied to this one job at a health office and when I turned my application in, they asked if I had a minute to interview. Well this was this a week from today. I called them on Monday and asked them if they were still hiring for the receptionist position that I applied for and the lady told me yes, and that the supervisor just hadn't gotten around to looking at the applications yet. Well then yesterday, they called me to come in for a 2nd interview on Monday. So does this mean I have a good chance at getting the job or what? I am really wanting it and I even wrote a follow up thank you letter that I plan to mail after I go to the 2nd interview.... what do you think?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years, he is 21, I'm 19. He is Mexican and White (mom and dad are both halfers). I am Filipino and white..I was raised a little differently as I have believed my whole life in going to school, getting a good education, getting married, THEN having children. But I am very open minded to other people's beliefs and lifestyles, including my boyfriend's family. You see, his family (mom's side) drinks a lot, some have done/ do drugs, and seems like everyone has at least one kid by 20, married or not, and they dont care. His mom got pregnant/had him at 20, even tho his dad wanted nothing to do with him (to this day still). I wonder tho if maybe she got pregnant with him on purpose because all 6 of her sisters had at least one kid by 20 and she was the last one without one, or was she just not being careful? Is it possible for some women to just want a baby? I was curious because as I am getting older, his family expects me to have a baby

How can I get her to stop? I'm 17 yrs old and I'm pretty sure my body tells me when I'm hungry. She's at work right now and over messenger she asked if I ate dinner I said no I'm not hungry, I feel full right now and I don't feel like feeling sick from over eating. I'm 5'6 and 105 pounds and I'm not anorexic I just don't eat very much cause I don't feel hungry a lot. Now she's yelling at me saying that I can't go out with my friends this weekend if I don't eat dinner, I feel like lying to her about eating now cause shes so uptight about it, I'm 17 yrs old going to be 18 this march!!!!!

I couldn't stand to talk to her for about 8 months and then out of the blue, she called. We went to see her and everything. You know, BIG reunion and all that crap. Well she said she would call at least weekly and I've haven't heard from her in about a year! I've called her and txted her and she won't answer. I've tried to forgive, I've even shut her out of my life for about a year, I've done all I can think of doing.. I've emailed her AND sent her letters. What should I do. Every time I think about her, I cry. HELP!!! I need some advice. Thanks... :-(

My parents went through a rough divorce recently that stretched out over a period of two years. I've lived off and on with my dad, with friends, in dorms, since I was 17 and I'm currently 19 and living with my mom. My mom has an extremely low life boyfriend with a criminal background. He drinks excessively and occasionally does drugs and continues to tear apart the only family I have left. He is also 9 years younger than my mother, but she loves him. He is the only person who makes her happy and she has devoted her life to him. It hurts because I wish she spent time trying to help me out in my life. I openly dislike my mothers boyfriend because I do not like they person he has turned my mother into. Because I've stood up for what I believe, it has become hard to live in the same house as my mother. My dad have disowned me almost entirely and has a new life and girlfriend he doesnt want me apart of. I'm really in a tough situation and I feel like I've run out of option. help?

I was on the phone with my friend last night, and then my dad calls....I didn't answer and then he called the house and he was like "Why is "myname" on the phone right now and he was calling from work. It was late so I couldn't be on the phone, so I denied it. He was like " My phone system lets me know if you're on the phone" Is he lying or is that actually possible?

In a nutshell- my step-sister on my dads side molested me for 7 years. I finally told about 2 years ago and after a trial they put her on probation and told her she could not be within so many feet of me.
NOW- I work for my dad and while I was walking around the office she showed up.
Everything in my body froze up, and all the emotions that I'm really great at hiding all came bubbling out.
my dad was in a meeting...but even when he got out I tried to ask why she was here and he shooed me away.
what do I do?

this morning my little cousin passed away. As i have posted in previous questions, she had luekiemia and this morning god decided it was her time to go. How do I cope with this? She did not die peacefully she was very sick when she went caughing up blood and bleeding internally. How do I help my family and myself understand that she is in a better place and not suffering anymore? Any help is greatly appreciated. And please don't be assholes anyone. This isnt the right time. Also, we had been taking her to this healer, he said he was very close with god. and he said she was going to have a wedding and we would all dance there and she would have 2 kids, obviously he was wrong. But my cousin's mother's friend sent another healer to their house before she died a few days ago. And you know what that sick bastard said? For $3000 I can cure her within a month. How sickening is that?

My baby's father and I had not been together for months when I had the baby and later filed for child support. He was involved in illegal activities and in and out of jail most of my pregnancy and after the baby's birth. After he got out of jail this time, he's straightened up, is employed and is doing what he is suppose to do. We have also reconciled, but we still have the child support issue. Should I cancel the child support and just work out things on our own terms or keep the child support order in place? We have our next hearing soon. He has given some money to help out, but he's not even making as much as I do. He's still trying to rebuild his life and I would like to give him time to get back on his feet. What are my options? In the end I understand our baby's best interests matter most, whether we are together or not. Just need to know my options or other things I should be considering. Thanks in advance for all responses!

I never really had a brilliant relationship with my older sisters,where they knew about my friends & stuff & used to mainly sit out on my own or in my room.

My dads first cousins children & I get along very well,they are younger than me. The other day the oldest girl told me that they take me as there older sister. The son & I do have chats & if he ever wants advice he calls me aside & we chat.

Today was chatting to my uncle about a few things & he reminded me of what they had said. The funniest thing the same things my uncle went through before he was studying I am going through. HE tells me to get over it but cant.

Just wanted to know what are my duties as older sister apart from the normal things of helping out with homework & just been there for them & chatting to them.

How do I deal with been the oldests of step siblings & youngest of my siblings. My step siblings do not see it that I am there oldest step sibling but an oldest sister

I can't put it until words but he's about 10 years younger then her and he tries to buys my brothers affection by taking them to football games and buying them video games. he asked me if I wanted something and I told him to just give me money and my mom took it as me being rude. But I wasn't! I mean he's giving them things! Plus, he's always at our house! He's never slept over that I know of but I know they are doing more then just holding hands, which makes her a hypocrite since she always tells me to say no. One day I caught him listening to my Ipod and I snapped at him to give it back. And my mom said since she bought it anyway it was okay if he listened to it! I'm so sick of him and I want her to dump him. It doesn't help that my grandmother is joking about him being my stepfather since I don't think it's funny at all. And I don't want her to marry him anyway! That would be horrible! What should I do?

I always close the door to the bedroom and other bathroom when taking a shower in the morning, but my 6 year old daughter was looking for something and walked into the bedroom as I was walking out of the bathroom with my towel on my hands rather than on my waist. She walked out giggling and ran to her brother (8 years old) to let him know that "dad has hair down there" while giggling. I didn't make anything of it, but I was wondering from other parents, what is the best way to approach this later in the day? Should I just pretend it didn't happen, or should I use this as an opportunity to, in simple terms, explain to her that it's normal and that all people have changes later on. Suggestions? advice?

My two older sisters and I take turns caring for our 81-year-old mom who is a recovered alcoholic (we took it away from her three years ago.) There were many years of physical and emotional abuse on all four of us-my brother doesn't even come around except once in a while.
My oldest sister's behavior has become a concern to me because now when we go to a family picnic or together at an activity, she's always late and in a panic because she puts off all preparations until the last minute, and when she gets to the gathering she is so angry and verbally abusive to everyone-just if one little thing doesn't go her way and comes off without a hitch. she can't seem to go with the flow, complains about everything, and makes it less enjoyable for everyone else. I see people steering clear of her because of her incessant complaining. She refuses my help with preparations, and then goes ballistic when something goes wrong. Am I justified for not attending this time, and be honest as to why?

yeah yeah, i know its a weird question, but just hear me out please?
i just dont know what to do, my wife just crashed when heard the news and cried till a few days before the funeral. (i mean i dont know about you guys, but i've never been close to any of mine becasue they died pretty early)
i've always been on work abroad to ever get to deep with my wife's family, but even my 3 year old girl Alex cried for a while when she heard about the news. has anyone ever felt like this before? i mean just about someone you barley knew? im probably just going to be "guilted" into attending, but the real situation is that my wife was her only grand kid which i guess is why they'd be pretty close.

now as her husband, everyone is expecting me to go up on stage to say something about a person i've never met! should i even go? it would mean alot to my wife and kid, i know that, but i've also been called to a meeting over in chicago for the rest of the week which is important to my job. advice?

I go to my Grandparents house very often, and the thing that I do most is Laundry. I hang up clothes on the clothes line, and then when I have to bring the clothes upstairs, she gets a little mad at me. I love going upstairs to organize the clothes, but considering she has Parkinsons disease, she most likely thinks that I'm someone else, and doesn't want me to go upstairs. I get upset after that happens. What can I say or do to get away from this? The only reason I go to their house is to do laundry, but then she says to come downstairs and play, but I tell her that I go upstairs to do Laundry. Please give me a serious answer, even though the question may sound funny.

I love this little girl. She is my first grandchild but I am getting horrible negative feedback from other family members. My other son (who is actually her favorite uncle) has said she has no manners and won't even answer him at times. My daughter thinks she is a devil-child who is totally manipulative and only does or says nice things when she wants something.
This is breaking my heart because I want everyone to love her as I do. We have a very close bond and she confides a lot of things to me (such as the other kids in school don't like her). But even with me, she refuses to say hello to me on the phone because "she's busy".
I wish we lived closer so that I could see her more and help her deal with her problems.
Any suggestions?
