Family - December 2007

My husband was working late at his second job (at a restaurant), when his mom, dad and sister came by after it was closed. I was there too to pick him up and I heard the whole thing. Well, first off he hates his little sister because he thinks she's a spoiled brat (she's 19). That night she asked him if they had any mashed potatoes left and my husband said "No, I threw them out already." But, he said it kind of mean (because he hates her) so she didn't really believe him so she asked the manager (who is a family friend) if they had any left. The manager was like "oh yeah, I'm sure we do." She kind of followed him saying that if it was too much trouble to not worry about it but he was on his way. Sure enough, there wasn't any so he made NEW potatoes which my husband saw... and would have to clean up... so while his sister was walking out he said "Thanks for keeping me here twenty more minutes". Well, she was so hurt by it that she was crying about it later to their parents...

Would this bother you?
Also, it bothers me when I am with my parents or grandparents and we have to sing "roun yon virgin." Does this make you uncomfortable?

My ex boyfriend and I broke up 4 yrs ago (we were together 4 yrs). Since then, we've been in contact on and off just as good old friends. He lives in another continent. He broke it up with me cause he couldnt get his head around marriage and I felt one day Id like a child. Anyhow, thing is I was very close to his parents & even grandparents. Recently his mother was in my city for a visit and we met up a few times. She was raving at 'how glamourous I look' and took pictures. She invited me to visit them & stay in her place for a few mths. She wanted to know if Id met anyone recently. My exs 2 best mates have just settled down. A few days go she emailed me to say she had shown the photos to my ex and noe 'hes more & more interested in visiting the country I live in '. Am I imagining it or is she trying to get us married? Is this bizarre? Please opinions on this!!!

Yesterday for Christmas, my 9 yr old daughter bought me the movie Resevoir Dogs, but she got me the edition with Michael Madsen on the front. I specifically asked for the one with Steve Buscemi on it. I got mad and decided to ground her for a fortnight. Her giftgiving ability is usually pretty good, but this year I was dissapointed. She gave me some lame excuse saying "daddy, I don't know the difference between the two guys". WHo can't tell the difference between Michael Madsen and Steve Buscemi?????? Should I ground her longer for lying??

i have a very loving grandmother who has always showed her grandchildren with kindness, respect and love.

she lives a few hours drive from all of her grandchildren. My brother lives 5hrs drive away from her, and works 7 days a week as well as doing uni for the past 5 years. So he hasn't visited anyone (friends or family) for a few years. He hasn't got much money, and doesn't call anyone very often either. And he hates writing letters.
He's a guy who loves his family and will do anything to help out when he can, but doesn't have regular contact with anyone.
this year, grandmother has told my mother that my brother is not "part of the family" because he didn't visit her this year.
mum explained my brothers life to her, and grandmother said that it wasn't good enough.
Grandmother has not contacted my brother since he left home in 02.. so it goes both ways.
my brother is a little bit hurt, but understands where she is coming from. My mother and father are really struggling with it

My aunt and uncle are getting a divorce and they have two daughters, both of which are legal adults. My uncle is my blood relative and I am 14. My uncle is visiting us for Christmas so he is here right now. When he filed for divorce my aunt did alot of hurtful things to everyone and my 2 cousins did as well. Today I recieved an e-mail from my aunt & 1 of my cousins. It was all happy sounding and they apoligized for our gifts being late because they didn't get them in the mail soon enough.

It seemed as if they didn't think I knew about everything, but I do. My parents and uncle thought I was mature enough to know what was going on in our family.

Should I show my parents and uncle the e-mail? Do I respond? My parents told me that we would probably never talk to them again and we shouldn't expect anything from them this Christmas. It's like they are trying to cover up what is going on for my and my brothers sake eventhough we already know.

I am wondering if generally, parental control is fair to be imposed on grown children of legal age as long as they are still dependent on their parents financially.I'm miserable that my parents are this way.I'm almost 28 years old,however,I still can't be financially independent from my parents until now,and depends on them financially on almost all of my needs and wants as of the moment.My"sort-of" previous relationships didn't work out mainly because my parents have been bestowing strong parental control over my life and didn't approve of those guys that I almost got into a relationship with. I didn't have a choice but to obey my parents since they want me to, otherwise I would have been left with no financial support from them. It seems to me that my parents want me to do certain things that I don't like,and which will be not morally and/or legally wrong if I don't do them.They just want me to do these things because they just think that I'll lead a much better life if I do them.

I visited my relatives, and they're fun and everything, but I get so self-conscience. My cousins seem so cool and perfect, and they have these inside jokes and they're so exclusive, and only the funniest, most attractive, most-outgoing people can hang out in their inner-circle of people. My dad says I won't fit in with them because I'm from their mom's side of the family, instead of their dad's, and, to make matters worse, they're over 4 years older than me. They'd probably accept me a little more if I was more outgoing, but these are people I've known my whole life. I can't go from kinda shy to really outgoing, they'd think I was crazy. I'm not emo or anything, so I'm not anti-social, but I lose all of my self-esteem as soon as I see them. I guess I just need some help figuring out what to do to be appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!

I am so heartbroken/disappointed and its christmas today! My father and his family are emotionally/mentally abusive. My mother, brother, and I have suffered many years of emotional torment and mental breakdowns because of my father's sick twisted manipulating antics. He is sick, literally! My parents have seperated since the past few months, but father and his family are still not done with their dirty manipulating deeds. They have turned my own brother against my mother and I, and it breaks my heart so much that I have lost my brother to their manipulative antics. They have completely brainwashed my brother into thinking that my mother is the bad person and she is the reason for the entire break up and the reason why I don't speak to my own father. My father is a total loser and sick for making my own brother (who I love so much) to be against me. I don't know what to do, and everytime I try to talk to my brother he thinks I am telling him lies. I don't know what to do anymore...

I am a 14 year old girl and I have a 13 year old brother. For Christmas my grandmother sent us each a gift that she had to of put alot of thought into, because mine was one of my best gifts ever. I received a pearl ring, bracelet, and earrings that she chose just for me. When I talked to her on the phone I told her "Thank you so much for my gifts. They are so pretty!" She said, "Sorry, grandma doesn't have alot" etc. and she sounded so sad! She wouldn't believe that I loved them so much, which kinda made me feel bad. My grandmother always feels like she never gives enough, but if only she knew how much she has given to me. Not necessarily in objects though. How can I show her how much we love all that she has done for us as well as the beautiful gifts we received?

Im 21years old I love my boyfriend. We are planning to get married my dad told me if I give up having him pay for a wedding reception , He will pay for a small wedding and my brand new car I got (I could afford that if I needed to). I thought sure I will pay for the wedding reception and he can pay my car off. Today my fiancé and i brought that up. I said all you have to pay is the car and a wedding dress, I said you don't have to pay for the church or preacher or anything. He said no if he paid for the car that no one else could help me pay for a wedding if someone helped then no car. he started yelling at my fiancé because his job just cut his hours but he got transferred so he is back at 40hrs. My dad started saying he was no good he was worthless, he plans to be a pilot and he is joining the air force. He is starting a great career and Im wanting to go to college to be a teacher. Anyway he chased my fiancé out the door and swung at him. My boyfriend did not swing.

My question is how do I comfort my fiancé he is upset. They had gotten along before. My dad is also know for physically and mentally abusing me and my mom. Im a little upset to because he told us we are never allowed at their house.


He offered he gave us a wedding and reception or a wedding and a car. I picked the car and I would pay for the reception he got pissed when I said I would pay for the reception he said I could only have a car. I don't live near him Im a Virgin so Im not shacking up I have two years of college behind me and so does he. He has taken pilot classes. I don't need to hear a stupid answer like stop digging in t o your daddy's wallet I DO NOT NEED HIS MONEY

My sons father has been paying me ($***.**) a week to stay home with our son (we are not together). I wanted to get a job but he talked me out of it, saying it was better for our boy if I was home to raise him. Over the last several months he has complained that he has not had the money, and that I need to get a job because I am just a golddigger. I finally found a job but will not be able to start until the first of the year and will not recieve a paycheck until end of Jan. My problem is that he has only sent 2 out of the last six checks and I have had to sell everything of ANY value to buy food for my child, I have nothing left to sell and three weeks until have more money coming in and I do not qualify for welfare or unimployment. I have even had to sell plasma twice a week. My son's father stores his belongings in my home, including two antique rifles belonging to his grandfather. I am desperate enough now that I feel I have no choice but to sell one of them to make ends meet.
