Family - December 2007

My 3 year old son and I were playing the other day and I said "I love you!". He replied "love you to" so I start to ask him um do you love granny? he replys yes! I keep going threw family member and I get to my boyfriend and father to my 12 week old (still in my tummy) baby . He said yes! I asked him about HIS father who is in the Army that I divorced. He said no! His dad hasn't got to be a real part of his life since the Army he has even had to move to NY while we are in Tn. And know he is over seas and he really can't talk to him or see him. I have always told him that his father loves him just like mommy does. So where is this coming from? I couldn't hardly get him on the phone with his father to tell him hi and I love your daddy without threating him with a whooping?
What can I do?

She is 15 and they have been dating for about 9 months. He has 1 brother and 1 sister than my daughter knows, and 1 brother and 1 sister that are way older and has never met. Should she bring something for his parents and maybe the siblings that she knows? I don't want her to feel awkward when she is there. Please help!!!

I am so frustrated, my hubby and I have 2 kids, a lot of bills, and i am a stay at home mom. We want to make some savings for the raining days, but we just can't seem to be able to do it all due to his side of the family.
Everyone except for his brother wants money from us. Either car payment, or rent or after-school care for the nephew, they call to ask for help. We try to say no, but sometimes they tell us if we don't help, they would be evicted from the apt or have their cars in-pounded. Every month, we cut out our expenses to help their "emergencies", but i don't think it's fair for my own children, my family, we work so hard, we should enjoy our earnings.
This year, they are coming for xmas, not only they ask for expensive gifts, they also wants us to cover their air fair. What the.......?! My hubby isn't saying a think, except " just this once" but it's happened so many times....

What's a frustrated wife to do?

My bf and I have been together for 6 months. I am 36, he is 27. I was married, have 2 kids. I am pretty much his first serious relationship. I asked him a few weeks ago if his family even knows I exist, and he said 'no'. Up until Sept, we were keeping our relationship a secret as I just separated from my husband in March, and got together with my BF in July, so we have only been 'officially' together for about 4 months. He said that since we were keeping it a secret he just hasn't told them yet, although everyone else including my kids and family know about him. He practically lives with me, is at my place every day. So WHY then hasn't he told his family about me? I feel like he's embarrassed that I'm older than him, or that I'm separated and have kids? I really don't know and I know I need to just ask him. Any advice?

This past weekend I suggested we visit my fiancé's sister who's living in another state. We decided to leave a day early because there was a snow storm coming and we had to drive home. The next day she sent my fiancé a scathing email accusing us of being too good for their hospitality. Even worse, she insinuated that I control him and that he has completely changed since we've been together! This came as a complete shock to me because it's totally untrue and I never realized until now that she hates me!

My fiancé and I are both totally hurt by her comments. Since the holidays are coming up, I'm going to have to face her in a couple of weeks and I don't know what to say. On top of that I asked her to be my bridesmaid for our upcoming wedding. Has anyone ever had a situation like this? I want to let her know that it's wrong of her to try to damage my relationship with my fiancé and his family, but I don't want to add fuel to her fire either. What should I do? Please help!

i'm so screwed up right now. My daughter says my live in boyfriend abuses her emotionally. He is very controlling. I don't know what to do. He wants to punish her for every little thing and tries to tell me she isn't even trying just because she is your typical lazy 14 yr old. He's had something negative to say about all of my family members too. I don't know who to talk to because he's alientated everyone and I'm embarassed to talk to my family. I'm also afraid. I've mentioned that maybe he should get his own place, but he won't budge. I had conflict!! I've even talked to his brother about it. He's kinda supportive. I just don't want to bother him more.

I'm engaged, and my fiancé is wonderful. However, the whole family seems to turn a blind eye to the antic's of my bf's grandfather. He can't go ten seconds without making a disgusting joke about anything from pedophilia to incest or a sexual comment about me.
For his bday, my bf was given a book on art. The cover of the book was a painting of a naked couple in some sexual act. The first thing out of grandpa's mouth was "Hey, that's Zoe (me) and Terry! (my fiancé)".
He will point at my shirt and say "Did you spill something on your shirt? You better take it off!"
Once, me and some other family members were in grandpa's bedroom looking at a quilt, and when my bf walked in, grandpa said "Look Terry, I already got her in my bedroom! I didn't even have to ask!"
I'm not prude, but I've had enough. These comments gross me out and make me uncomfortable. I am not prepared to confront grandpa directly.
Am I out of line in saying that I will not attend any events at which he is present?

I found out one night When I heard him talking to one of my sisters (MY SISTER) telling her that as soon as he could he would go to Mexico and put that house under his name and then send me to foster care.

I applied for child care assistance and was denied. I dont make enough to afford a regular daycare and the home daycare's are a mess. They are unreliable, they do more of their own stuff than watch my son. I'm a single mom, I make barely enough to get by but not enough to move forward in life. I want to go back to school, I want to get a car, I want to have everything my son needs without scrapping around for the cash. I have seriously considered quitting my job to stay at home with my son and take assistance for everything. I hate to live off the state when i am more than capable of earning an income but I am starting to feel like that might be the only option to keep my sanity. Does anyone have any good advise for me? thanks for reading.

My situation: I had our 1st baby in May. DH and I took baby to grandma's house (stroller ride) everyday during the summer b/c our horses were at grandma's house, and we needed to care for the horses. We live only a 5 min walk away from Grandma's. Every time we went to the farm, I'd say hi to Grandma. Grandma had a diaper changing station in her livingroom, and I used it almost daily b/c baby would fill her diaper almost everytime we went to Grandma's.

Mid Sept, grandma commented to me that I needed to not come over as much; she was seeing too much of me. The comment was hurtful, but perhaps necessary. I have quit going over to Grandma's and I have been very resentful about it b/c I am hurt by the comment.

What hurts me the most is that Grandma (m-i-l) goes to my s-i-l's numerous times, and Grandma hasn't been to our house once since mid Sept. BTW, my sil lives close to Grandma's as well. She has two boys (6 &10).

Grandma sees our baby occassionally, but I have...

We don't speak to my husbands family because they say they hate me. They made my first pregnancy very hard and pulled my husband away all the time. I spent it by myself most of the time because we lived 2 hours away from my family. We live now near my folks and away from his parents and he doesn't speak to them anymore. I just don't know what my family would think since we are only 22 and have only been married for 2 years. We are currently staying with my parents to get some money saved up to buy a home and I also don't know if now is the time to get pregnant. Help!!! Thanks all,

My son came home yesterday and told us that some kids on the bus were saying that there is no Santa. He said yes there is because on my presents it says from Santa, and they of course said Parents just write that on there. I know he'll have to find out sooner or later but I don't want to take that from him yet. santa is not what Christmas is about in our house. We definatelly celebrate the Birth of our Savior but, Santa is so much fun to do with the kids and see their little faces light up when somehting is from Him or when we track him on the computer. However, i'm feeling really guilty because just he night before we talked about how Mommy and Daddy tell him the truth about stuff, even Big stuff and explain it to him so he'll understand instead of hiding things and cushioning everything the way some parents do, and he said that's why i like yall so much.......What to do? Ugh!!!!!! I also have a 5 yr old daughter and am afraid that he will share this info with her as well

I am 32 and never get to spend time with my mom. She spends plently of time with my brother who lives there, and my sister who just moved out after living there about 2 years. I have a 19 month old and a baby on the way. I'm sick of waiting for her to be a good grandmother and mom. I've seen her one on one for two days out of the last year. (She lives in the same town as me). If I don't go out of my way, she would never make the effort. And talking to her isn't going to get me anywhere. Would you ditch your mom in this situation? I come from a single parent home.

About 4 months a go my cousin asked if he could borrow some money from me. He asked for $300. He said that he would pay it back to me with in 2 months. I gave him the $300, but he hasn't given me any of the money back. I'm 20 years old, & I recently enlisted in the United States Army. I've decided that as soon as I leave for basic training I'm just not going to see or speak to him any more. I'm going to pretend that he isn't a member of my family.

Ok, It's been 2 weeks since my daughter sent me the nasty E-mail telling me I am not the gramma she thought I would be, she had disowned me, telling me not to call until I was preparred to spend more time with my grandchildren, of whom I did see at least twice a week, I work and take care of my Mother of 88, I love my children and grandchildren but only have so much time left after all of my daily duties and responsibilities.
Any way she finally called me to say that the baby has pnemonia and the 4 year old has a cold and she thought I should know! There was no mention of the hurtful letter she had sent me and no apology.
I love my daughter and miss my grandchildren, but feel that she should at least say sorry Mom I had a bad day and my hormones are out of wack (she is pregnant also)

I am still sick over the whole thing and I don't know what to do, I feel she has no respect for me and I am afraid she will hurt me even more.
I am so upset, I need some advice on what to do?
