Family - December 2007

I'm 20 now. I dont belive anymore and haven't for years. I just play church so I won't dissapoint them. But I'm getting tired of hiding it. And yes I do go to church with them. I know they'll blame it on my Atheist Boyfriend, but the truth is I haven't belived long before I met him. The question is, should I tell them or let them keep thinking I belive?

Hi, how's everyone doing?

So I live with both my parents and I am 15. From the time I was about 3 I was sexually abused by my grandfather who lived with us until he was arrested when I was 10. Now 5 years later, that man is being released from prison sometime this month.

My parents and I have never had a close relationship. Maybe it was because during the abuse I believed my parents knew about it and just let it happen. I know that I was wrong now, they never knew. But whenever the topic comes up (which is about 3 times a year) it's always about how THEY feel guilty or how I LET IT HAPPEN because I didn't tell them anything.

I rarely see my dad these days, and I'm a bit happy about that. He travels in Europe a lot of the time. But whenever he is home everything he says to me is criticism or something hurtful.

I lost my husband in January to cancer. We were married for 12 amazing years. We had 4 children, that are 12 year old girl, 10 year old boy , 5 year old boy and 8 month old girl. We married at an early age, 20, but we were very much in love.

This will be our first Christmas without him and he will miss our baby girl's first Christmas. We will be spending Christmas with my mother, step-father and other family, but how can we focus on being happy this coming Christmas? We want to remember him, but not be sad. My 12 year old daughter is the only one of the kids that understood about the death. My 10 year old thinks that this all just a horrible nightmare and of course, my 5 year old is nothing but sad and my 8 month old was only 7 weeks old when he died.

How can we make this Christmas a happy one?

I'm looking for questions to print out, cut out, then glue to the back of flat, clear glass stones. Then I'll lay them around on the tables at a Christmas party I'm having. There will be people of all ages there. I'm looking for sayings like, "Where will you be in ten years?"- questions that both kids and adults can answer. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks~

She complains about everything I do and don't do for her, refuses to help out around the house and expects me to pay for everything. When I try to reason with her and explain she just accuses me of not caring or supporting her. When I ground her she doesn't care, she just sits around for a few weeks. When I say I'm bothered by her attitude she says I'm too sensitive. And then when I get angry she just says that I am crazy for getting so emotional. I told her that if she wanted my help she had to be respectful to me and she said I should kick her out if I find it so hard to be with her. She said her life would be perfect if she lived with her friend's family. I don't think it will last, but I let her go. I never thought I would do such a thing and I feel so sad and like a failure. She never gets into trouble neither is she using drugs. She's seventeen. I just need her to be nice and she just refuses. What do you think?

At the moment I'm this boring kid who goes to college and does the same thing day-in day-out with a routine and timetable etc.

I really hate my life at the moment, with my parents laying down the law, setting restrictions etc.

To be honest I don't think I'm going to be able to carry on with it all much longer. I'd really love to just quit everything, get a job, move to london and go out every night having fun and seeing what life actually has to offer,

At the moment I feel I'm missing out and wasting my youth.

I've applied for Uni etc but I don't want to go for the course just to get away from here which is stupid and a waste of money. I don't even want to go down that route, I want to be a performer but at this rate that's never going to happen.

help~

I don`t see why living with a male roomate would be inappropriate for a college girl. They boy is 28 and I am 20,I met him today,but my mother`s best friend has known his family for years.It would be easier for both of us if we moved in together,I would have more money for my other needs and he would have more money to pay the mortgage for the apartment.I told my brother this and guess what he said?He said it is a little slutty in his opinion. Why would it be slutty and why would it be inappropriate, he is not my b/f or anything, I just want a lower rent.My dad told me: you`re smart, you`ll know how to judge what you`re getting and what you`re losing if you move. I asked him if he had anything against this, but he said he would agree with everything I decide to do (he always says ths).Could they be worried about what other people are gonna say? Honesty, I don`t give a damn about that,this is my life after all.Do you think my brother had a good reason to call my move slutty?

My dad has been cheating on my mom for about 5 years already with lots of other women with kids. every time my mom found out she would throw him out of the house for like a week, but it wouldn't last because he would come back and she would forgive him. the thing is he's still doing it. he's never home taking care of his children and paying the bills. it's like im my 3 younger brothers' dad. cause my mom works 2 jobs so we don't see her as much either. Well my mom and i sometimes get into arguments because i won't forgive him for all that he is done. and i know that i will never forgive him because he would hit my brothers and i when we were younger when he was in a bad mood. I'm now 18 and haven't forgiven him. How can i tell him i don't want nothing to do with him?

He is currently being treated for his addiction but I have heard he has tried to have sex with very young girls. My step-son acts very strange upon returning from thier place: Locking himself in the bathroom and if we go to check on him he yells and screams for us to go away. This only lasts a day until he realizes he is back with us. I am afraid he might be getting sexually abused while he is there. What do you all think and what should I do?

I know what they do and what they are all about!!
What I want to get an opinion on is...... There are no bell ringers at the TARGET stores. I really appreciate that. I shop at Target for everything during the holidays because I don't like the irritating bell ringers. If I wanted to donate money (Which I do give 5% of my taxes to the city youth programs, not the point,but..) If and When I do donate money I don't want to feel obgligated or preassured to give to a specific cause or at a specific time. What is your opinion?

I've a brother and sis in law with 2 boys, & a cousin aged 43 who has 5 kids & 2 grandsons. For the past few years, I've bought presents & cards for ALL their birthdays & Christmas. Yet I get my birthday card late, my husbands birthday gets forgotten, & they are often late for my daughter's birthday. In fact my cousin NEVER buys my daughter a gift, though I buy all her kids prezys all the time. My brother buys her a Xmas prezy & thats the only time he ever visits me. I visit him every 2-3 mths.

This Spring, my bro sent my daughter a card & pressie,2 months AFTER her birthday! I got all 4 of his family their cards & gifts to them on time, throughout Jan/Feb!

Should I not give prezys to ANY of them this Christmas? I know U shouldn't give 2 receive, but it upsets me that I make so much effort & they make squat & it upsets me that my cousin never buys my ONE child anything coz she's supposedly broke; she smokes 140 fags a wk tho! SHE never visits either, tho I visit her evry 2 mnths

Yet always assumes you do bad things that you really don't.

Even at 31, my mother assumes that I party all the time, that I only care about myself, that I am sexually immoral, and that I'm lying all the time etc...

The truth is that I don't lie, I live according to the bible as best as I can, and I spend most of my spare time helping those in need. I can't talk to her anymore because I've been driven to near-madness over it.

Everytime we have problems, you chose to run away.
That's when I know its the end today.
The love we shared is terribly feeble.
And i know i deserve better.
It's hard to accept you will no longer be by my side.
But I've no choice but to look at the brighter side.
Those were the times I laid happily in your arms.
Those were the times I cried myself to sleep.
Maybe you'll never know how much you mean to me.
And you'll never know how much I'm willing to sacrifice for you.
Misery is what I feel when u felt me hanging.
So much for my happy ending...

My boyfriend's 17 year old son dropped out of Year 9, unemployed, not looking for a job, got his girlfriend pregnant (she had an abortion thankfully) steals our money, arrested for shoplifting, lies and is unreliable. He also swears at his dad. His mother lives 5 minutes away but he doesn't want to live with her because she has 3 younger children (i.e. noise factor for him). He's brought pets to our home when we've told him not to. We've tried talking to him logically and calmly but nothing seems to work! I am desperate. We have a 2 bedroom home, I am thinking perhaps I should get pregnant therefore he'd have no choice but to move in with his mother.

I am 31 in two more days and my biological clock is ticking away...

As far as I'm concerned he's had a happy childhood, no abusive upbringing, loving grandparents, no learning disability, is althletic etc. My boyfriend says his son's not had enough discipline as a child (i.e. no boundaries etc).

Please help me.

I live with my daughter in New York City, her father is not in her life regularly probably once a month she sees him. He do not call to see how she's doing. He took me to court for visitation about two and half years ago and he has never came to get her on any of those since. He's married and move out to New York without telling me until his wife called my house out of the blue and told me that she was pregnant and lost the child and they were married, I didn't even know he was in a relationship, but that do not matter. I want to move to Ohio or maybe back to the Virgin Islands to be with my family, he nor his family is involved in my child's life and I miss days at work because I have no back up to take care of her, I've explained this to him and he said he will try and help me more, but that has yet to happern. I'm moving after Christmas and he do not know because I have no number to contact him. He's in arrears for child support. Can I move without getting in trouble?

i've caused my family to have a huge fight and now i feel horrible
the fight was over (don't laugh) hannah montana tickets

my family was all gathered around the computer waiting for the bid to end on ebay and...we had won!
than we realized it was the wrong date, we bid for tickets on the date we cldnt go...and we won
my mom was very upset because she was against us going away, and we ended up spending $950 on tickets we can't even use

my dad suggested that since my mom and him can't go that day
we could get friends parents or our 21 year old cousins to take us
but my mom got very mad because the day of the concert is also the day of an xmas party she's throwing
she started yelling
so she suggested that we donate the tickets to a charity
she also said that because of this mistake we have ruined all our chances of going to the concert

this concert means the world to my sister and i
i dont kno how she cld crush our dreams
our family is wealthy, we cld donate the tix and purchase others

My boyfriend bought christmas gifts for my sons, which I don't expect him to do....I make sure my boys have Christmas and he buys his daughters gifts. To make a long story short.....my boyfriend got mad because my son didn't jump to take out the trash when he asked him to, and took back everything he bought for both boys for Christmas. Do you honestly think that was right???? Then, he said he felt bad for taking the gifts back, but he would be a fool to keep them and give them to the boys...(my kids are 9 & 4.) He said my son was being disrespectful for not taking out the trash when he asked. Am I over-reacting???? Do you think that was wrong??? How should I feel about that????? I know I will not be getting his daughter any gifts.....Is that wrong of me????
