I have no issue paying child support what so ever. my son is 19, in College, an does not live at home. If he flunks out/in-complete his first semester, does that emancipate me?

So i have a personal dilemma. My brother is a junior in college and just came home this weekend for christmas break. My parents were also out of town... So anyway, I discovered that he smokes pot... all the time. He bought a new bowl bubbler thing and excitedly showed it to me. I didn't know what to say... I just kind of laughed it off.. but it has been REALLY bothering me lately. Don't get me wrong. I'm no angel... but the fact that he doesn't see any problem with smoking makes me question his judgement. Yesterday I also saw him popping adderall...

My parents aren't strict at all. They let us drink alcohol (and we're not 21) but I think they would have a problem with my brother spending their money on drugs...Should I tell my parents? Where do I draw the line of being a good sister or a good daughter?

I used to like my in laws a lot when I first got married, but now they seem to be getting on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but they are just rude sometimes.

By in laws, I don't mean my husband's parents, I am referring to his extended family. They make such rude comments about everything and I never feel like being around them. Whenever we have family get togethers, I always hang around with my husband's younger cousins (who are like, 5-10 years younger than me lol.) And everyone makes fun of me that I hang out with the kids. I just feel like the children have much more intelligent things to talk about then the adults. All they every talk about it when are you going to have kids, you should have kids, why dont you have kids, blah blah blah.

My sons father and I are not married and no longer together and I just wanted to know if he has just as much rights as i do in things like where i take our son to live if we move, do i really have to let him visit if he doesn't help take care of him? If he does have those rights, how could i go about getting full custody because he isn't capable right now of taking care of himself and i know he can't do for our son as he needs. His name is on his birth certificate and I hope that doesn't make a difference.

As a capable adult I have had to tell my parents to back off at one point or another. But I have come across others who are abel adults who parents don't have ant boundaries. For example:
Their parents have keys to their place.
Parents calling all hours of the day and night.
Parents comming over without calling all hours of the day and night.

I find that as an adult, I hate being around my parents. They are pushy and try to run my life. Now that my daughter is living with me, they think that they can make decisions for her also. They don't respect my authority as a parent especially my mother.

My daughter feels that my mother also tries to compete with her other grandmother and constantly makes comments about her. My mother is emotionally immature and makes funny, rude comments about me in front of my daughter too.

Do most people feel this way? My parents are very set in their ways so I don't think that they will change. I am trying my best to have limited contact with them, but its the holidays....

Any other suggestions...

Are you one of them? Do you only watch your maternal grandkids & not paternal ones? Do you spend more time with the maternal ones? If so, why do you do this, and how do you think it's fair & doesn't hurt their feelings? Please tell me so I may know what in the **** my MIL is thinking.

I'm 21 years old and I still live at home with my parents. It would be nice to live on my own but I go to college and I would rather just save up money and focus on schoolwork. Anyways, my parents impose curfews on me and are always bothering me to spend time with them. They are constantly nagging me to clean my room as well. Is this normal? I feel like they are treating me like im 16. Should I just accept their rules because I am living in their house or should I have more freedom because I am 21.

To other young adults living at home: How do your parents treat you? Do they still "discipline" you and impose curfews? I just wonder if my situation is normal.

We like to joke and say my FIL is a "Jewish Mother." He is very affectionate has trouble understanding boundaries. I have 2 daughters, 13.10yo (she is multiply disabled) and 16.6yo. G-pa has always treated them younger than they are (to the point that my youngest doesn't like being around him. He talks to her like she is 3 and she can't stand it. We've tried talking to him but it really doesn't help) and touched them a lot. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, he is not a dirty old man he just really loves them and seriously has no boundaries and doesn;t egt it that other people do. Another aspect to this problem is him creating problems that don't exist. When Aly was 13 and went through that phase where teens sleep ALL the time, he thought she was doing drugs, she cut her hair short (girlie pixie) and he thought she was a lesbian, she is a very serious, thoughtful and mature young woman and because she's not giggling like an idiot all the time he thinks she's depressed.

My sister is in middle school and her school is close by so she walks. She came home after school and told me that these Black adult men called on her. She was smart enough to ignore them and walk off. I'm not worried because they are Black, I'm worried because they are adults, they wear ghetto clothing, and the police always drives by that area.

Should I be worried? How would you feel if your sister told you this? What is the best solution?

Thanks for reading.

A girl who is 10 yrs junior to me joined the firm. I used to give her ride to office.I was admiring her positive atitude and was liking to talk to her as much as possible. I started doing things out of my way helping her and I used to feel happy for the same. I just wanted to spend sometime every day. From her side she used to talk to me and sometimes she was supportive in giving advices on career. She presented me a small gift after we met after longwknd. I was curious to spend time with her as it was longtime. I was waiting for her in office after my working hours which she does'nt know. In last minute she took ride back home from another collegue. I got disturbed and called her after she reached home saying that I was disappointed for not coming initially she told u should have told me.Next day she told why you want to spend time with go home and spend time with ur family in rude way and ur only my collegue. She stopped coming in my car and does not talk to me.What I should do?

okay so my sister is 24 1/2 years old still trying to pick fights with me. I thought she'd be more mature then that by now but I guess I was wrong. I've tried to be nice and diplomatic, ive tried talking to her calmly and have flat out said " I dont like it when you talk down to me thats why i get mad" shes always trying to put me down, raising her voice, yelling at me, and mentioning all my flaws after i ask her not to basically claiming i look as ugly now as i did when i was 12 (which was years and years ago) and that nothings changed but height
which isnt true by any means. She acts as though shes high and mighty compared to the rest of our family and the people in the area that we live. all becuase she has taught in taiwan,
without a degree i might add..
shes back now and has no job and my parents praise her like a goddess and my dad gives her so much money, yet freaks out if i just ask for only 20$ so i can have cellphone minutes
(we dont have a home phone)

It really hurts my feelings. She calls about once a month to talk about my neice and will throw in a "how are you" or "take care of yourself". If I try to talk to her about it then she gets really angry at me for "accusing" her of such things. I am to the point that I want to stop communications with her because it's so upsetting to me. Is anyone in a similar situation?

My dad is being a real... pain. He starts an argument with me about everything. For example, he starts criticizing the way i sit, the way i eat and how I don't get enough homework. We fight just about everyday and it usually ends with him hitting me and me on my bed. My biggest problem was today, when he comes over my shoulder and reads what I am saying to my friends. I tell him no to read what I am typing because it's disrespecting my privacy(in an angry tone of course) and as usual, we start fighting again. He keeps telling me that he can do whatever he wants because he is my father and he can disrupt my privacy if he wishes to. What should I do?

My husband has a brother that has been 18 since March and has has 3 jobs all for about 2-3 days each. He lives in Kentucky and we live in Virginia, but he calls and whines endlessly to my husband about how hard his life is and woe-is-me crap. He has a girlfriend who has just turned 18 and is fully supporting him, she works and buys his food, pays when they go out on date, everything! She is an idiot. My husband asked him if he was using protection, you know, and his reply was"sometimes." i am about to scream at this kid to get his head out of his butt and get a job. What is going to happen when said girlfriend gets knocked up and he is without any income or insurance. He still lives with his mother in her basement and his main objective of the day is playstation 3. When my husband was this kid's age, he had been in the Marines for 7 months. When I was his age I had been in the Navy for about 6 months. We have tried to talk him into the military, no use. What can we do?

He is 19 years old and has NEVER SEEN HIS CHECK BOOK that he has had since he was 16!! And his mom has had his savings account since he was 10. I'm don't at all think its a bad thing that she wouldn't let him spend his savings because it teaches responciblity but now he's a grown man and graduating college this year! HIS TRUCK is in her name, HIS bank accounts are in HER name. He has to ask permission to see me, leave the house, hang out with friends. The other day he told her that he's moving out this summer after he graduates college and she said "OH NO YOU ARE NOT!!" and complains that when he talks like that her heart hurts and he causes her heart problems. I'm 18 and we' ve been together over a year now and she informed me that she wants her first grandchild before she's 50 and she's 46! I was also informed she will be in the delivery room. Every paycheck he gets she makes him give to her and can only spend what she gives him for the week. She's starting in on me now! HELP
