Family - December 2007

My grandma lives with us. My mom is getting to the point where she hates her, and I dont blame her. My g-ma is constantly bugging her. We've askd her to go and stay at my mom's sisters and brothers houses, but she wont. Just for a week, she wont! What can i do to help my mom, and give her a break from my g-ma?

I have 3 boys age 10, 12 and a baby boy thats 11 weeks. With my hubby, thats 4 boys and me. They are always on the video games and computers (one of the kids use mine) and Im always feeling left out. As soon as my husband walks in the door everyday (Im a stay at home mom), he goes straight for the computer, etc and hes on it until all hours of the night. I think its great that hes bonding with the 2 older boys, but Im doing everything at night and on the weekends. While theyre doing their fun things, Im still doing the chores, taking care of the baby and everything else. I do this all day and I dont get a break. I feel ignored, invisible and like a robot maid. Ive voiced this to him and he knows how I feel, but nothing has changed. We have a great relationship and this is the only thing that bothers me. I know if I asked him to do something specific he would but Im torn because i feel like id be taking him away from doing something he loves to do. Am I being selfish?

This is an ongoing issue that i have pretty much had all my life ( i am 16). I can say with 100% certainty that my Dad is without a doubt the cheapest person i know. And i don't know how to make it stop.He makes alot of money for one, about 240-300k per year and my mom who is divorced and a single mother making less than 6 figs manages to be more generous than him. All my birthday's are lame as well as christmas. I get the cheapest version of everything i ask for, and its all crap that i never use. I've wanted an ipod and or a computer for a while, but i can forget it because he is so freaking cheap, and my mom would but simply cant afford it.He goes to the Dminican Republic with his girlfriend every year in addtion to trips to NYC, adirondacks, B & B's all year round. He has been to the DR like 7 or 8 times with her and yet i have never in my entire life been outside of the USA.He is generous with her and himself and thats it, he dosnt prioritize his kids like he should.

Ok, like I have 2 little brothers and from time to time I get really mad at them. Like for example, my little brother who is 5 years old was bugging me and so i just gave him a little shove and he started freaking out crying. Then my mom came in and called my dad who is at work and said that I choked him, and cracked his neck and stuff like that, because my little brother said that I did that but I didint! He fake crys too, just to get me in trouble, but my mom believes him because he is her favorite. So, now they are saying that I am grounded, and not getting anything for christmas, and my mom called me a little bastard. They are also not talking to me. And now he is fine! He just faked cry to get me in trouble then he goes on with his life. Please help me with this. This happens alot.

Two weeks ago she called me , I was four hours away, to tell me she thought she broke her wrist and needed to go to the hospital. Like I could do anything about it. She did break it, but I am afraid she did it for attention. She did it right after we told her we could not come up for christmas. Then she called me a week later to tell me that her neighbor was trying to frame her for stealing and selling prescription medications. Something she would never do. Then she called me today to tell me that she thinks the military is blocking her remote control from her t.v. I'm truly worried about her now. Any thoughts?

Last night I got into an arguement with my 17 yr old son. He threw a personal belonging of his 10 yr old sisters in the trash and I told him that he owed her back the money for the item, he told me he wasn't giving her any f***ing money. I told him that I wouldn't tolerate his mouth and attitude and that him and his friends needed to leave the house. He got angry and called me a b***h and I slapped him in the mouth for doing so. I had already forwarned him about using that type of language with me. A couple of weeks prior to this incident he was upset because I wouldn't let him spend the night with a friend and he told me, "F**k you, no I mean f**k you seriously." When I went to slap his mouth for calling me a b***h he put his hands on me and we proceeded to wrestle around the living room with me slapping at him trying to get him off of me. He didn't hit me but I could tell that he wanted to. He has a very bad temper and goes off like a bomb when you say what he doesn't want to hear.

I need some advice i can not stand my fathers partner she has caused me so much pain since they have been together for know 23 years. My mother died when I was 7 years old then it was only my father and I. We got along really well; he would tell people that I was his little princess until she came alone. He basically started to ignore me he would spend most of the time with her. Then when I was about 14 years old she would wear some of my mums nice clothes in front of me which I can remember my mum wearing them and it would upset me so much that I would always cry and she did not care. Then when I would tell my dad that I was not happy with that he got angry at me and would throw the clothes at me. There were fights nearly every night and I did not have family to defend me because my mum’s parents were dead and my dad parents were overseas so at the time all I had were my friends. Then when I was 19 years old my dad partner basically wanted me out and they put me in a caravan park. So basically he chose her over me and I would cry nearly every night. while she was leaving in a nice house. And now my father has cancer caused by asbestos the cancer is stable at the moment. I want to be their for my father but the past still haunts me even thou I live in a nice place and work in admin and life is good I still find it very hard to forgive them and they both think they have done nothing wrong what should I do?

From Texas, getting married in California. Twelve people have already booked flights.My Dad gave my sis 10K in 1991, but says he can only offer me 2500-3000. Should I be hurt? What do I do? His excuse is that his retirement money is running low. I am 35 and he also says he did not know if I would ever get married. This is the man who has to walk me down the aisle. Do I cancel this whole thing? I think the real issue is that it is not the Catholic wedding my mom wanted me to have in Texas.Also she has a bad prescription addiction which my dad funds.What do ya'll think I should do?I am at a loss...

I recently married my husband. His ex-wife has a daughter, not his, that he sees every other weekend. His mother picks her up every other weekend and takes her to the store to buy her clothes and toys. His mother brings her over and the girl always shows off her new stuff. The problem is that I have a five year old son who is now adopted by my husband. His mother NEVER buys him anything. My son is jealous of the girl because 'grandma' always buys her stuff and never him. The girl brings over her stuff to show off to her 'dad' and my son becomes jealous. I dont know if I should say something, but my son is being hurt over this. (I dont think his mother ever accepted me and my son completely. She seems to favor his ex wife and her daughter and buys them a bunch of things and does a bunch of things for them.) What should I do? I feel hurt and left out.

I am asking again because I want more answers and I want to know what people think about tthis

They think that my brothers act really selfish like there the center of the unizversre and also me SOMETIMES they even said. So for this Christmas they are going to buy us REALLY REALLY nice toys. Like the Ipod Nano for me and the Wii anyways they are going to make us give it ALL to chairity and I dont think this is fair because I have been asking for an Ipod Nano FOREVER, and I even told them that I will not be opening my gifts on Christmas and I will not even go downstairs to watch my brothers open them and I have asked them to not even get me the Ipod because it will hurt to much to give it away if they are going to make me do that. They said thats the point so it does hurt you. What should I do? And do you think this is fair?

By the way my brothers ages are 10,8,4
And me and my sisters ages are 14 and 4

Everytime I've visited my brother and his wife it means seeing her whole family. They're drunk, stupid, mean, always fighting. If it's the holidays, I bring gifts. I have yet to get even a Christmas card from any of them, and never a thank you. So I stopped going. It's 6 hours away from where I live, and it's miserable. Why bother?

She caused a fight in our family that left my mother dying without talking to my brother.

One of her nephews invited me to his wedding. I said yes, as he's the only one of the bunch I like. Then my SisInLaw says, "Oh, if you're coming, you can package up all the leftover food from Happy Hour while we go into the reception. We're paying for it, we should take it home!" So I didn't go to the wedding. Again, not worth it. I sent a check.

Now I avoid talking to her. If I call that house, I never get to talk to him. She just blabs on about her family. I email my bro 2X a week. But I really miss him, we used to be so close.

What do I do?

so when his family found out about him and I dating, was when i got pregnant- even though we were dating for a year.

They hate me because I chose to make the right decision by having my baby, but they like my son. I dont understand how they can dispise me for having my son but love my son at the same time? Boy friend says that his family is close nit but they hardley came around to visit us while he was on deployment for 8 months and we lived 10 minutes away.My BF and I are still together and far away. But I fear that this will break us up when we move back to the same location as his family because i dont want to be around them.

One of the members of our family was killed(tragically) a few weeks ago and the funeral was last Friday.
Today their is a close family member who is getting married today.
I know everything is booked, but out of common courtesy and the fact that people are mourning, shouldn't the wedding be cancelled
out of respect?

We dont have much money at the moment so my mom thought it would be a good idea to go on a vacation in place of christmas. We will still celebrate christmas in the tradition of our christmas dinner and being together but instead of exchanging gifts we save our money and put it toward a vacation. I see this as unfair main reason being my dad and nephew would not be able to go with us on this vacation so it would only be my mom and me and my sisters, not the entire family so not only would they get left out by everyone else giftwise they also would get left out of the "family vacation". Another reason being is I already placed everyones gifts under the tree so while they all get gifts and a vacation I wont get anything and I wont have any money to spend it on a vacation because I spent what little money I myself had on christmas gifts for them. I know this is the christmas season and alot of people have it worse than me so please no preaching. I just want opinions about the idea.
