I had this best best friend for 7 years, we did everything together. We even had a business together, due to the stress of the business we had a few stupid fight, but we never argued in open. after the shop closed down she joined 'born again' christian and now going out with a 'born again' guy, I haven't seen her for 1 year and started miss her, and i called her, she said that she is no longer interested in being friends since she is now a christian, also she is fully controlled by the boyfriend, wouldn't come out meet me or other friends, she wouldn't even give me her mobile number. Anyway i thought we were best friends, even our stupid disagreement shouldn't matter, however she sounds very determined and never contacted me even for a coffee, what should i do? i never know she could be so cold hearted

When I got out of prison my son was already twelve. He was raised well by his mother in my absence. He was very involved in community theater. It was at a cast party four years ago that all the questions started coming. After I left the party two other parents went in to a room where all the teens were hanging out. There, on the bed, my son was lying in the arms of a man ten years older than his fourteen. I was told of this the next week and blew my top. I was told how ridiculous I was. This guy just hangs around. He doesn't work. He plays with Barbies. And about eighteen months he started selling weed and giving weed to my son. When I pressed my son's mother to put an end to this BS I ceased being a guest in her house. My son won't talk to me. They all say I'm making trouble out of nothing. I think the guy is a pervert with no regard for the law. I think any MAN would have taken a step back and not been so pushy. Am I crazy? What would a shrink say?

As I mentioned in my last question, I have re-listed this question because I need more specific answers to what to buy and where from (if possible.)

What I also should have mentioned is that I’m in the UK, so that may affect things.

Ok, what I need is a miniature camera. One that can record by itself and NOT need a VRC or pc near-by, doesn’t have to be anything fancy or record long lengths of data.
I have spent hours searching for something that will do the job but whenever I see something promising it turns out that it needs a pc to work and I’m back to square one.

I've recently had a baby.It's my boyfriends mothers first grandchild to her only son. She has been making fun of my routine, she believes that the baby has to be nursed all the time. She won't put my baby down even when she's sleeping. She's controlling, makes smart ar@e comment about my parenting, she has called me a bad mother when myself and her son have had arguements, she tells my boyfriend everything I tell her to start arguements with me and him. I really believe she thinks shes the mum. How do I tell her to back off? It's my turn, she's had hers. I go back to work next year and she'll be looking after my baby, only I don't want her to. My mum does a good job at it. They'll both share the babysitting. But I'm worried because she talks badly to my daughter about me, even though she's doesn't understand, she will eventually.I believe she's looking for an excuse to try and take custody of my daughter because she failed with her only son. How do I tell her to stop all this nonsense?

I have just welcomed my daughter into the world and need a nickname for her grandmother. My mother has plenty of grandchildren and they call her Mamo (from the Gaelic). This is my wife's mother's first grandchild and we need a good name for her. Her heritage is German, English, Irish, French and Native American, she is from the Carolinas if that helps. Gran, Grandma, Granny are just too old and too pretentious. Mamo is great, we want this one to be great, too.

My dad is a painter, and he does a lot of work painting over tagging on electrical boxes. It's the summer holidays over here where I live, and there are a lot to do because children are on school holidays, and with all his other work, he was talking about how worried he was about getting behind. I offered to help out, knowing I'd never done any painting before but I'd give it a go to make things a little easier on dad, I told him he didn't need to pay me, just the petrol money would be good, but he insisted he'd pay anyway. I got my friend and the both of us took off this morning, and spent 8 hours painting, doing our best. When we got home, he shouted at me! told me that I didn't do enough and that i was more of a hinderance than a help. He is still shouting from the other room. I felt pretty annoyed! We'd done out very best, getting through the traffic on our uni holidays and painting them all, and it's a little disheartening! Am I being a bit sensitive here?

Thanks in advance :)

my family is not willing to change at all. It is so hard for me to deal with them.i cant talk to them. They give me such low self esteem. They also make me feel like i am not loved. My dad is such an alchoholic and one night said he was going to pick up my brother when me was drunk!! I couldn't believe it. Also my mom is always frustrated but is horribly controling and never likes my brother to see his friends and im 20 and she dosn't like it when i go out either! she will start to take back emotional support and buying things for us when people arn't obidient of her. She is also always putting people on guilt trips. I really dont like my family at all! I am so nice too. I dont know what to do. I don't want to move out though because they pay for everything and think I need to praise them for the world because they do. my mom gets mad at me too when i tell her all the neat things i want to do in life. lThey are going to pay for school and pay for my car.

Also when you answer the question below there is one line that Stacy cannot shake and it is the following: "The blouse from Kohl’s I saw all the elderly ladies buying this blouse and this sweater from Kohl’s isn’t that nice" Even though her mother loved many things Stacy brought at Kohls

STORY: Tonight while Stacy and her mom were having dinner a conversation came up again about the sweaters. Stacy’s mom said something which made Stacy say “Well look at the sweaters I brought at the 99 cent store.” Stacy’s mom said “The sweaters you brought at the 99 cent store are exquisite”. Stacy replied “Yes they are” Then Stacy’s mom said “Don’t get mad at me for what I am about to say. Why don’t you take back the sweater and blouse that you brought at Kohl’s. I mean the sweaters you brought at the 99 cent store are exquisite and by returning the sweater and blouse that you purchased at Kohl’s you will save $50.” When Stacy took out of her closet the sweater and blouse she brought at Kohl’s her mother said “The blouse from Kohl’s I saw all the elderly ladies buying this blouse and this sweater from Kohl’s isn’t that nice and the sweaters you brought at the 99 cents store are exquisite”. Stacy called me and told me she was happy that her mother loved the sweaters from the 99 cent store but was a little upset about the comment about the two items from Kohl’s. I told Stacy that Stacy is overreacting.[color=darkred][b]MY QUESTION: DO you agree with me and if so why and if not why not?[/b][/color]Lexi: I think she was overreacting

My husband and I have been married 4 years. I have known his family that long as well. My husband is eldest and has to go. The family never took to me because we live in FL and I am very beautiful. The problem is that the funeral is in NY. I don't want to go because it upsets me. I want to support my husband but feel pressured to go. My husband is 61 and says he will drive straight through all night to NY. He refuses to fly. Also we have a brand new puppy that is not trained. What is the correct ettiquette on these situations. Also, no one told us until today that he was is hospice care. He was taken 11/27. I have done everything I could for his family but I get no respect back. I really don't want to be around miserable people. I also don't want my husband to die in a car wreck. He cannot see like he used to. Also I'm LPN and the family used to literally dump his parents on us so they could go in the house and steal. I am so sick I do not know what to do.

I have a sister who's son wishes she were dead he is very angry and has some mental health issues. She is very hurt by his words and he has been living with his father for some time now. The best way to describe the issues is a messy divorce and what I call the Blame Game where the parents blame each other and it goes back and forth. Yet the child is stuck in the middle. I told her to keep silent about his dad reguardless how she truely feels to her son, she needs to act like the dad is father of the year per-say around him.Yet how does she deal with the fact her son wishes she were dead? Also wants nothing to do with her? They are going to therapy as well. Yet I want to help her with more advice on how to help them both before the relationship is more damaged.

I don't know what to do. every time i talk about it with him he shuts it down and doesn't want to ever talk to me about it again.

Heres a long story gone short. My dad allowed his half brother to move at our house. My mom accepted him in the whole family did. It was o.k. Five months have passed and that person is totally different.

He is very irresponsible , he does not think before acting. its a hassle with him living here.

He uses my computer without asking and burgess into my room whenever he wants to. He eats all the food not leaving some for me nor my sister ( we have to go out to eat). He wakes up late and goes to sleep late. He stays in my computer 24/7. I can't take food cause he will eat it all. He arrives at work one hour and a half late and he doesn't take in consideration that my dad got him a job. You could say that he is just plain annoying. My mom, my sister, and I want him out of the house.
But my dad won't do anything cause he gives him money for the rent.

And I can't take somehow ima be forced to move out of the house ( I am 17 and go to college).

What can I do? He is screwing up my family.
