manipulating sister
Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 2:07 pm
Dear Adviceanators: A few years ago my mom passed away. My sister who is in her fifties received my moms house of 130,000.and most of her money (about 80,000 dollars) I got a lum sum as well but not nearly as much as my sister. The problem is this my sister is a master manipulator. She worked very hard on my mom behind my back saying things like if I would give the house away If I got it. (both of our names were always on the house my mom told me) She also told my mom she needed more money than me because she need to fix up the house. I never new my name was taken off till after she died. You have to understand my sister is a lpn nurse who used to make 20.00 an hour. Before my moms house she lived in a trailer with hole in the walls. ...

options for alternative birth control
Posted Friday August 21 2009, 2:14 am
I am 25 years old and pregnant with my second child. I have never been on birth control because I am very against putting any hormones into my body that aren't there already. I have used the pull out method most of my sexual life and the only two times I have gotten pregnant were the times my partner did not pull out. I do realize however that this is not a reliable form of birth control and I am fine with having two children, and do not want another one anytime in the near future if ever. I am sorta afraid of the copper iud since I have heard horror stories, and my partner will not wear a condom (it doesnt pay for me to try...he just won't so do not suggest it). I would like to know what other options i have out there. Probably not many lol as my standards are quite high. thanks!

How to deal with parents divorcing
Posted Thursday August 20 2009, 11:03 pm
My parents are divorcing and it's really hard. I cry all the time. I don't want them to divorce and not be together. They're always yelling now and fighting over really STUPID stuff! I hate it. It's making me really depressed. Mom says Dad doesn't listen to her and Dad says Mom doesn't seem interested in him any more. It sounds like a big bunch of garbage now and I just want this to be fixed. What do I do? How do I cope?

How do I tell my parents about this?
Posted Wednesday August 19 2009, 6:03 pm
I'm a 13 year old girl and I have a secret e-mail address I keep from my parents. I secretly posted an anonymous online ad on a SAFE website and got a reply. The ad was advertising that I would play piano for weddings. The reply (sent to my secret e-mail address since it was linked to the ad) asked me to play for them, and I would really like to. I want to ask my parents for permission but they would ask how I got the reply, etc. and I need to keep the e-mail address secret.
Please help soon- I will need to play this Sunday!
Thanks!

Heartbroken daughter...
Posted Monday August 17 2009, 10:57 pm
My mother has been acting noticeably different for the past few months...she has a shorter fuse when it comes to things she would normally be very patient with. She is also forgetting things very easily anymore. I can't seem to ask her for help with anything anymore (something small, like "Have you seen this?" or something like that) without her getting irritated with me and saying hurtful things to me. She is constantly belittling me and making me feel like someone who is just invalid and an annoyance to her. I feel this coldness between the two of us, like she resents me somehow, and it's like I don't know her anymore, and it's hurting me more than you can imagine. I'm crying right now even as I type this, but quietly, becau...

Babysitting
Posted Friday August 14 2009, 9:00 pm
13/f
This'll take a while, so you might wanna grab a cup of tea or something.
I moved to a new house about two years ago, and I had a lot of babysitting experience where I used to live. When I came to my new home, I joined a church and met TONS (60, tons) of little kids there. One of my new friends here is really experienced in babysitting also, so we decided to create a babysitting club. There are two things that I need advice on.
First, I am kind of nervous because all of the kids that I have babysat for in the past, I had known well before. Two jobs in specific, I'll give as examples, I babysat for two boys, a 1-year old and a four-year old, until they were 2 and 6. The older ...

Dad or Step-dad walk me down the aisle?
Posted Thursday August 13 2009, 2:42 pm
OK
So i am getting married in December and as you probably deduced from the title, I have a dilemma.
My Biological father has always been in my life from timt to time. I only saw him occasionally, (like every other weekend) but our relationship has always been a good one. He's never been my provider though...
My STEP DAD has been married to my mother for 16 years, pretty much my entire childhood, and he was the provider and took care of everything I ever needed...the catch? He and I have NEVER had a strong relationship, HOWEVER, he and my mom are divorced now, and since the divorce, he and I have formed somewhat a pretty good relationship, he is still in my life. And helps me when he can.

well to start off, its takin me a while to build up trust with my mom again. shes caught me with drugs and drinkin in the past, and now im finally on her good side. the only thing recently is that she found out me and my boyfriend are havin sex.

Help us find a good baby name for our first child?
Posted Sunday August 9 2009, 11:24 pm
We are expecting our first child and need baby name help. My husband and I have chosen not to find out the sex of our baby until he/she has been born. We have some names we like, but we aren't 100% sure on any of them. We thought maybe someone could suggest some that they really enjoy and let us know what they thought about some of ours.
Baby names we like so far...
Baby boy names:
Michael David
John Patrick
James Paul
David Austin
Baby girl names:
Grace Anne
Madison Faith
Anna-Claire
Elisa Grace
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We like sweet, old-fashioned names, and traditional names mainly.
Thank you.

Parents won't let me stretch my ears
Posted Sunday August 9 2009, 9:44 pm
15/F
I want to get ear gauges. However, my parents think it's a dumb idea and I won't ever be able to get a job with them. They believe that they won't heal back if I decide to take them out. They say I can have them when I move out, but I know I won't want them then.
How do I convince my parents to let me get them?

Mom got rid of kittens without telling me.
Posted Sunday August 9 2009, 12:53 am
So, i got two beautiful all white kittens about four months ago. My mom never really liked cats, but she let me get them. Ive always done everything she asked reguarding them, and cleaned the litter everyday. Since they were obviously still kittens they would get into stuff, and it would really get to my mom. She mentioned about getting rid of them quite a few times, but she always made a joke of it. Our agreement was, if i fail to clean the litter then she would get rid of them no questions asked. Well, last night she said something to me about how its a bad time to mention it but she has made a decison about the kittens. She said they are too much to handle and that i am never home (i work a lot) all i did was cry and walked outside.

How to get along with my sister
Posted Friday August 7 2009, 10:12 pm
Me and my sister cannot get along. It is a shame because we are both grown adults. I am 26 and she is 25. We are like Salt and Sugar, this is how different we are. My mother always blames me because although my sister is so childlish and inmature, I am the oldest and set the example which it really makes me go nuts because we are only a year apart. Me and my sister lives in two different states and we get along great on the phone but as soon as we get together is like a disaster waiting to happen. I truly try hard but she gets on my nerves sooo bad! If she sees I am very upset at her and I just dont feel like talking, I cannot get away from her, she talks and talks her head off and I try to ignore her until I calm down but she wont budge. S...

My parents want to rule my life
Posted Friday August 7 2009, 3:58 pm
I am a 28 year old male, and I am still letting my parents control my life. They demand alot of my time, and have no consideration for the fact I am now a man, and have a family and career of my own. Recently, My dad expressed to my three year old daughter that he did not want her around, then proceeded to tell my wife that we may think our daughter is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but she's not. This made me extremely upset, and I have not gone back to my parents house or spoke to my father since that happened three weeks ago. They are not interested in reconciling with my wife or daughter, but want things to be the same. I don't want that. What do I do?
