Family - December 2007

Last month my son told us that he was beginning the process of legally changing his name to Cash-Money God. I don't know the significance of it, but I figured it was just him being a rebellious 17 year old boy. He claims his real name, Ralph Finkelstein, isn't "gangsta" enough. Today he showed me the papers and all he has to do is submit them to city hall on Monday and it's official! I never thought he was seriously going to do this! As if this isn't bad enough, when my daughter found about what her brother was doing, she thought it was cool and told us that she decided to legally change her name to Jenny Juicy-Legs. She also doesn't like the name my wife and I gave her, which is Agnes Finklestein. Plus, she's only 16 years old! I tried to talk them out of this but they say I have no moral authority since I legally changed my name last year to Super King when I launched my rap label. What should I do with my 2 rebillios children

First of all, my aunt and I disagree on a lot of things. We live in the same house, so she has a lot more of an affect on my life than most aunts would. And right now we are disagreeing over sports. She takes Tae Kwon Do, and she makes me take it with her. Today I was complaining about going, as I do every time she makes me go, because I absolutely hate it. She says I need exercise, and I agree to some extent. I have offered to do a million other things that I would absolutely love to do, like join a swim team, or especially do dance. She says that they are to expensive, but neither her or my mom have ever looked into it at all or tried to find scholarships. So, my aunt always makes me go to Tae Kwon Do with her, and I don't like it. There is no one my age in the class, I don't care for the way it is taught, and I think with something like swimming or dance I could have a chance to meet other girls my own age, not to mention I love swimming and dancing. So anyways, today in the car on

After our daughter turned almost 2, we (my husband decided, i stood by his decision) cut ties with his parents. His mother has issues and nothing is ever good enough. Step-father is a bit controlling and was abusive to my husband as a child - He was always the outsider in the family. He has a step brother (36 yrs old, still living @ home, no girlfriend, little social life) The 3 are very introverted and once our daughter was born my mother-in-law made every excuse in the book not to be involved (not major parties, no babysitting requested - she wanted to be paid for that...just wanted her to come over for coffee every once in a while and enjoy her granddaughter) Anyway - we cut off ties. Haven't talked to them in almost 5 yrs (they live 10 mins away) My husband's stepdad is now sick with a rare disease and his mother is on the verge of a breakdown. a birdy told me) Husband still questions why they didn't fight the "cutting off" thing and has never been truely happy since Do I tell him?

I am trying to be a better person & it is working for me, but it seems like people around me are there to test me, and I don't always feel like I am passing. I am the kind of person where "it's all about the principle" & I don't know how to change that.

Ex: I let my daughter's aunt stay in my house for a week, and she lossed my house keys, and I got mad. Her take on it was I have money, and I will replace your debolt, so no worries. I didn't care if she could replace the dead bolt, it made me mad that she basically said she didn't care that she lost my keys because she could replace the dead bolt.

Ex: I told a friend about a close young family member who was born with HIV because this family memeber was going to play with her children, and I know everyone is not educated about it. She acted like she was ok, and then went and told that family member's teacher. I asked why, and she more or less said "oh we were just talking"

i was upstairs checking my email while listening to my iPod. She called my name down for dinner she says 5 times but i couldn't hear. when i got downstairs she's like, "im taking your iPod give it to me. I've called you to come 5 times."
i said im sorry, i couldn't hear you.
Then she hid it somewhere. Then she went somewhere and i looked for it for about 5 minutes.
I asked her if i could have it back to put it away and i wouldnt listen to it i just wanted to have it in my posession and know where it was. she says no, and starts laughing about other tthings and trying to make me forget about it. i got really mad and walked away. i looked through her purse and she got so mad at me. she was screaming and said i was grounded. then i really lost my cool and ran upstairs and was like you know... feeling mad. i really want it back just becase sometimes she forgets where she puts things when she hides them. im 14 and she always says ohhh ur a teenager so its just normal for you to blow up a

…..argument with both my brother and sister-in-law…over her bad habit of starting a fight with my brother during any family function. It doesn’t matter if it’s a birthday party, anniversary, communion, graduation it could be whatever maybe even a funeral…..somehow some way a fight between them would erupt be a display for everyone to see.
So of course I was having a little get together with the family. When halfway into the party they seemed to be getting into another one of their fiasco, so my baby sister (she’s 20) just calmly stated that everyone was looking. Well she came out of her face and told my sister to stay out of her mouth and mind her business. Well its one thing to talk your nonsense to your husband, but when it comes to my family members it’s a whole different story. So in an instant my temper went to boiling point. I walked over to now three of them and asked to speak to them both privately. As we were walking to my dining room she continued her garbage with my brother. I basically told them both that if they feel a need to have their conversation they either find a private place to continue their mess or they can continue it out of my house, because I will not have my guest and feel uncomfortable in my own house because of their issue. She got real upset and say that my sister shouldn’t have said anything to her and that she was a child out of her place. I told her what my sister did was right because she was the one who was acting like a child and if she had any problem with the way I conducted myself in my own home she can choose to leave. They both left and the party continued and was a success, but my parents agreed that something had to be done but they are both afraid I have started a rift. I am not concerned about them being in or out of my life, but I don’t want problems either. What do you think?

I am a 19 year old sophomore in college. In a discussion about an hour ago, I indirectly told my mother that I was ungrateful for what her and my father have been able to provide me with thus far in my life...which has been pretty much everything. In response, my mother began sobbing, said that I was a wonderful kid, and that she is sorry that I was not born into a "better family." I did not mean what I said...it was in the heat of the moment. I love my family more than anything in the world, and without them I am nothing. I am more than grateful for everything that I have. What I did was wrong. Now that the damage has been done...is there anything I can do or say to prove how much I love my mother, and how grateful I am for everything her and my father have done for me? Thank you so much for your advice...I feel like such an awful, and ungrateful child.

Is it normal that my own dad and step mum who have there own children of 8 - 9 - 18 years of age and work full time but live ten doors away from my house, do not come to see me or my children as regular as my mother in law. My mother inlaw works full time and i see her at least once a week and she makes the effort to see her gran kids.
Many times i've said to my parents we would like to see you more, they always use the excuse i'm too tired from work or you know were we live. I try to make the effort to see them once a month or every 2 weeks. Do you think I'm wasting my time with my own family, my wife saids she washes her hands with them.

So I have an 11 year old daughter, she's in fifth grade, she turned 11 2 days ago. I can't really get quite all the information out of her, but she tells me some things. She has been going on and on for about a month about this really perfect boy "Kyle." She said just yesterday that this boy Kyle kissed her for her birthday and that they had agreed to be boyfriend and girlfriend. She said all this at dinner, acting a bit like your stereo type teenager. I was shocked and she said I acting like she is a baby. She invited Kyle over for dinner, 2 hours ago, and I have never met him. After dinner I came into her room and I found them kissing standing up. She is now completely mad at me and this boy Kyle I think has become very shy. I have absolutely no idea what to do and she is in fifth grade!

I will be graduating from college soon, and upon graduation I am planning to move out of my house. Although my mom verbally says that she supports my idea, I know she doesn't want me to leave. The primary reason why I want to leave is that I have a step-dad, and we do not communicate/talk at all unless he has conflicts with me. Sometimes, I feel disgusted just to see him in the morning and hope that he won't complain about things I do. Because of this bad relationship, the relationship between my mom and me has been deteriorating year by year. Secondly, my mom is very strict that she wants me home at eight p.m. unless I am at work or school. I'm busy and have no time to go out anyways, so in that sense it's not that annoying. But I feel that it is little too extreme considering the fact that I am TWENTY ONE. I feel that right before I leave, my mom's gonna prevent me from moving out. So, What is the best way to move out of the house without hurting my her?

My husband and I have been married for almost 5 years (together 7). 2 Years ago we decided to finish college (after working 3 years during marriage). We are very very happy and have built a strong, stable marriage. We are both set to graduate in August 2008. He says he wants to wait about 2 years after graduation to become more financially secure. We are both 26 years old and want 3-4 children... but spread out, at least 2-3 years in between each child. I've been wanting a baby for about 2 years... and I don't want to be an "old mom" after we are done with children. I want to enjoy our lives after they leave the nest. When is a good time to start? When did you start? What can I say to get him to change his mind?

BTW, I completely agree with waiting till we graduate... but that is only 9 months away... and I REFUSE to try to get pregnant without his consent.

It seems every pro-abortionist I've talked to is disgusted that men are pro-life... of course they are! And for the same reason that women are as well. They respect life, and do not want to see their children, siblings, nieces, nephews, etc. killed in the name of "choice."
I see no problem in men being allowed to be pro-life. After all, abortion degrades fatherhood as much as it does motherhood.

Why do you think there's a problem?

As some of you know the sitiuation with my mom. (She is recovering from brain surgery, needs 24/7 supervision)
One of my sisters (There are 7 of us) acts like she cannot come around because of our mom's little dog. It is a Fiest i think. Anyhow she "claimed" it smelled awful up there (which it does not) because of that dog, she said i would come up here more if that "animal" was tied up outside something my mom would not do cause she loves that dog too much
She calls it an animal like it is a Tiger running around in the house. She is so sorry for being this way. Like i have said our mom wiped our butts and was always there when we needed her in good and bad times, now it is our turn.
She claims she was sick all day long yesterday from that dog and i swear to you all it does not stink. We bath it every other day.
I know this hurts our mom. My other sisters are not wanting the other sister that i am talking about to not come back.
