I want to be able to travel the world & take cruises & after my upbringing I KNOW I wouldn't be a good mom. Realizing that makes me a better person (I think) than people who pop them out to get more $$. Some old man said to me the other day that women's ONLY purpose was to be a wife & have kids/take care of them. What a SEXIST?

My dad's side came into some money recently and they were like us raised poor middle class. and now have become sadistic twisted cruel malicious aholes from the 9th circle of hell. Their kids are so cruel to me and their less wealthy cousins. They torment one so much she tried to kill herself. They didn't care that she tried to either. I think they called her a waste. She's a nice person. They are for the lack of a better word EVIL. Becoming Rich is all they care about in the world. NOthing else. they're crazy and get in my face and yell at me that i'm not good enough for the family and they teach their kids that it is ok to be violent and mean. And that they are better than everyone else. They treat me like i'm dirt and do spit at me in public.

Throughout the years this certain person constantly argues about every little thing. This person is cared for tremendously and well loved, but no matter what you do or say its not good enough. There ego is truly erratic and they think their better then you. They can be very insulting and extremely rude. Also, when guest or friends are around they go into outburst with them. When it's their friends they don't want you to say a word or say anything about them. This person continues to make attempts to make you upset. I don't know what's wrong with this individual. It's alway a complaint, their never satisfied. What would you do in a situation like this? Serious response only. Anyone that give a best answer will receive the 10 points.

I need some advice on how to deal with my sister who has a bad temper. I live with her and her husband because its closer to work and closer to my boyfriend and its really cheap which helps me to save money. the problem is she has a really bad temper and it doesnt take much for her to go off on me and blame small things on me and give me a ton of stress. i dont know what to do. i dont know if i should move back in with my parents who live an hour away from my work and boyfriend costing me more money and less time with him, or if i should stick it out until i can get my own place in a few more months. how do i handle her until i can move out??? help!

My 17 year old daughter wanted me to drive her to her 7:00 am Bowling class this morning. I started to drive very slowly, but after twenty seconds, I realized I couldn't see more than a few feet infront of me. So, I told her we had no choice but to go back home and she has to forget about her class.
She really got mad at me and started to cry, yell and scream at the top of her lungs. She caused a big scene. She tells me that I am a terrible mother. She also found out that her classmates went to the class. But we live vey close to the hills and may be our area gets more foggy than other areas. What do you think?

About 3 months ago, me, my wife, and my 3 kids moved in with her parents. Forced to due to job downsizing. Anyway, from the day we moved in they treat us like maids. They make the mess and they expect us to clean it. And when it doesn't get cleaned, they put up a storm. They expect the house to be clean 24/7. We have a 5, 4, and almost 2 year old. If my 2 year old has something she isn't suppost too, my mother in law won't take it away from her, she will tell one of us to get it from her. Just last week she had a knife, and didn't take it away. Could have been a disaster. I am 30 and my wife is 24, but yet, her parents are trying to tell us how to raise our kids. Just the other day, i heard her mother say that we are the laziest parents. I almost blew up cause I work third shift and i just took on another job. When i get home from working 3rd shift, i try to get sleep, but then they get up and start the bitching, and i can't sleep. Any advice would help.

My mother-in-law moved in with us on October 18. She insisted that we turn on interent service for her, through our cable provider. She brought her computer along and it was hooked up the very next day. She had to pick up the modem herself, due to the fact of us working full-time and took it upon herself to upgrade the interent service to a package that's almost $50 a month. She been staying with her daughter for the past couple weeks to help w/babysitting and has not given us money for the internet service. She owes us $100 so far and it is due on Monday 12-10!!! We have let her know several times about the bill and the amount and she has not sent or stopped by with any money. I sent her a text last week and all she said was ok. I sent her a text today and have heard NOTHING.

How should I handle this? Do I have him handle his mother now? And how do I get him to take care of it? He doesn't even like dealing with his own mother because she's such a pain!

My mother told me she can't come to his birthday party because she's too busy with Christmas shopping and decorating. She's always been extremely selfish and nasty but I don't know what to tell him about why she's not attending his party. I don't want to tell him that shopping is more important to her than being with him. What do I do?

My older sister owes me a large sum of money. She has not made any attempt to pay it back. What should I do to get it from her. She must think I am made of money and I can afford to just let it go.......... but Im certainly not........

She is upset to tears if she hears about or sees someone get hurt. She wants to give her things to the poor kids (we give our old stuff to Desert Industries) and her money as well. If someone is feeling bad she is really moved to help, even if it's a kid who hasn't been kind to her previously. Is this normal? I know compassion is a positive trait, but at what point does it go too far? Is it because I take in and rehab abused animals? Or because I've had several serious illness in the past years? I hope nothing I'm doing is harming her psychologicaly.

Just what we needed before the holiday he gets into a fight at school. By the way he is a senior.
What happened was is that he was being made fun of and verbally attacked by a couple of kids in the hallway. These other kids happened to be black and my son is white. My son is not totally innocent but this is what happened.
When the kids were poking fun at him as he was walking down the hallway, my son begins shouting racist things at them, calling the other guys dumb ****ers with the hopes that they would come to attack him so he has an excuse to use self-defense. Of course the other kids charged at him and my son was able to block the other guys hand from hitting him and he pushed the other guy so hard that he fell into his friend causing him to break his hand. The school has a strict policy on fights but since the issue was brought up that my son specifically said racist things he is now in more trouble than the ones who had attacked him. Shall we get a lawyer?

Two weeks ago my little brother borrowed $50 from my husband for the night when we went out together and my brother forgot his wallet at home. We have talked to him since but he has never brought up the fact that he owes us money. How do I ask him for it back without seeming money hungry?
I know he has the money, so the issue is not that he doesn't have it.

I got more spankings from mom but the ones from dad were worse.
When we were little, both of them spanked my sister,my bro and me. But later, dad used to spank me and bro and mom only spanked my sister.

How about in your family?

Tragically, my mom's cousin and his wife died in a car crash 2 days ago. I have only met them once at my grandfathers funeral. I live far away and don't plan on attending the services. However, my mom's sisters are trying to pressure me and my sister to attend. All of their kids are going. I am starting to feel guilty about my decision. What do you think?

My partner and i only ever fall out over his family. The problem lies with his mother and his sister. Ever since we got together they have never made an effort to get on with me, they say things that are hurtful, his mum and dad treat my partner and his sister totally differently, it's one rule for her another for him. His dad doesn't say anything but then that's just the problem, he obviously doesn't see anything wrong in the way they behave. I shouldn't take it personally as from what i can gather they have acted like this with all his girlfriends. I can understand people saying about his mum, oh that's because he's 'her boy' no-one will ever be good enough for him but she doesn't seem to care about him at all, never phones, visits or asks how he is. The biggest problem is although he knows what they do, he won't stand up to them. He thinks they are family and he doesn't want to burn any bridges, i think he should tell it like it is and they might have more respect? What's your view?

Ok I have been going to a therapist and she asked me if my dad has ever touched me or anything inappropriate. I told her he has touched me a few times when he has been drunk, and now she is gonna call social services. The thing is my dad doesn't live with us anymore. So I was just wondering what would happen based on this? Would he go to jail for life just for touching me or will they place a restraining order? I don't want him to lose his job I just want him to stay away. So what is your opinion on this or what advice or comments do you have. I am scared this gonna ruin my life, my mom is scared too.
