i hate my mom
Posted Sunday August 19 2007, 10:00 pm
ok, i'm 12/f. my parents have been divorced for over a year now. and all though that seperation, me and my mom have been fighting about all the boys she has dated. she has dated SO many. and we ALWAYS fight about it. i've told her my feelings, and she always says that her kids come first... but shes not doing that. i'm not ready for her to have a boyfriend... she cusses alot, and she calls me crazy for not understanding. i don't understand cuz i always thought that it was supposed to be:
two people fall in love, then they get married, have kids, the dad goes to work, the mom stays at home to help her kids, then on weekends, the family goes to the little brother's soccer game.

family problems
Posted Saturday August 18 2007, 7:00 pm
my family is currently living with my grandma. Not only does she treats us unfair, she also makes my mom pays 4 all the expenses in the house, plus the money for living in her house. So while we have to struggle to live our lives, she has extra money in her pocket and spends it elsewhere. Well, the problem is, im going 2 go 2 college soon, and i need to think bout the financial problem. i want to tell my mom to stop giving her the extra money and just pay for the current expenses only. That way, she will be able to help me somewhat in the future.
But we dont know how to confront my grandma about it. My mom doesn't want to upset her mother, either.

restraining order
Posted Friday August 17 2007, 11:46 pm
My friend is 14 right now, she will be 15 in November. She wants to get a restraining order to get away from her alcoholic father. now my questions are:
-is it legal for her to get one on her own?
-if its not legal, how old does she have to be to get one on her own?
[we live in CT, btw]. and her mom wont get her one, but she just doesnt want to live with her dad anymore because hes constantly on her case. her parents are divorced.
so any information would be great. thnx =]

My Baby
Posted Friday August 17 2007, 1:17 am
Okay this may sound stupid to some...but here's my problem.
My husband and I have been married for three years. I love him very much. He's 26 now and I'm 23. I just graduated from Harvard.
My husband comes from a rather welathy family and once he graduated from Harvard he took over his father's company.
Recently he just expanded the company and I really have no clue what that means, but he's so busy now and always so stressed out.
I just found out I am around one month pregnant a few days ago, and I'm so happy, but the thing is I don't know if my husband will be... Landon and I have discussed having children, but we didn't plan for this. He suspects something is wrong...I can rare...

caught drinking
Posted Thursday August 16 2007, 8:54 pm
my parents found out i had friends over and that we drank. she threatened me to tell who was here, so i told her, after about a half an hour. now she won't ever let me see those friends again. i am going off to college in a week so it's not the end of the world, but still i feel bad that i told which friends were here. i don't know what to do. should i tell these friends? they are not my friends from school...they are from work. i feel like i betrayed them (my mom won't call their parents, she said she wouldn't) but i still feel bad & don't know how to explain to these girls i can't ever see them again. also how do i earn my parents trust back?

My Sister
Posted Thursday August 16 2007, 2:35 pm
My sister is a hypochondriac. She goes on the internet and then she suddenly has all these
disease symptoms. She is driving me insane with it!
She is a homemaker with nothing better to do I
guess. She doesn't bother her husband about it
so he doesn't see the problem.
I hate not answering her calls, but that is
what it is coming to. I have tried talking to
her about it and telling her to stay off those medical sites. It works for a couple of days and then she is right back at it again.
Has anyone out there dealt with this problem before? Please help!

the arab: continued
Posted Thursday August 16 2007, 2:37 am
ok so basically i am arab female. some of the stereotypes of not being as "liberated" as the women of the west do apply to this question and my circumstances:
well i am not supposed to have a boyfriend ...etc. its in my culture. and i never did! and i am totally fine with that.....but i lied...... i told my new "friends" when i moved towns that i did just to fit in and not seem like a weirdo (since i moved countries) .... it made me look wiser and more experienced... and well... liked.....thing is i regret lying about that and i don't know what to do.
if i tell my friends they'll be in shock coz they trusted me. i'll look like a stupid fraud (i know i know... who cares what people say)......

ever since my cousins and aunt came for the summer, i've been under a lot of stress. The little kids talk back and gives you attitude, not only that, they don't listen and they touch all my stuff!! then when i get pissed off, my mom criticizes me of being immature, not understanding and just the same level as them but my mom thinks they talk back and all because they're kids and i just have to understand them. i don't think so, they should have some disciplines. Anyways, my aunt always takes up the houesework that i was going to do while i go to the bathroom, and my mom sees her younger sister cleaning it, she'll yell at me for not offering to help!!!! i think i'm going nuts in this house, what should i do?!?!

Conversation with mom

On Saturday, August 11, 2007 my mom, my sister, brother-in-law, my two nephews and I went to a crafts fair. I went over to the booth that sells jewelry for $1.00. They had rings and necklaces for a dollar. When I picked out three rings my mom asked me how many was I going to buy. I said maybe one of each. She said that could be $30. I said to her that I buy 30 dollars worth of jewelry at the 99 cent store. She said in a matter-of-fact voice; yes you do;. I asked her a couple of times in a 15 minute span if she cares if I buy the jewelry and she said no. I said to her it sounds like she is making comments and she said to me she is not making any comments. As we walked away from the booth I said to her you said that the rings could be 3...
