grandmother hates me
Posted Friday August 25 2006, 11:58 pm
I am a 20 year old female college student. I have been dating this guy for almost three years. His parents adore me, his brother likes me and im practically best friends with his sister. Usually, it's the mother or father that don't like the girlfriend, but in my case, it's his grandma! She'll say rude and mean things like "your nose is big too" or "well, as long as he likes your body, thats all that matters" (after telling my boyfriend's sister how skinny she is.) I respect her and have never had a problem with her until now. We are in a serious and committed relationship, but im afraid his grandma will say something to him or ruin our future. What should I do?

Its about like genetics.
Posted Thursday August 24 2006, 11:47 pm
Well, okay so i have a distant cousin. and I'd always just use the term of 1st cousin , 2nd cousin, 3rd cousin, etc. Because i didnt get the meaning of like first cousin once removed. Well If you have a first cousin twice removed, Does that mean you are more related to him as if you were related to a 2nd cousin once removed? I always wondered that and thought if there was anyone out there that knew. And if the answer to that question is yes, does the "removed" mean you are less related then like a first cousin in general? Just thought I'd ask cause i was curious. haha. thanks! ((i feel dumb asking this))

my mother
Posted Thursday August 24 2006, 1:29 pm
ever since i was very young my mother has been abusive to me. i am the oldest of two children and the only girl, and my mother has always been jealous of my goals in life. she used to hit me severely when i was younger but the rest of my family ignored it and i have police reports but child services couldn't do anything because all i had to show were bruises and no witnesses. as i got older my mother started drinking a lot, she is probably drunk at least 4 nights in a week and she hasn't had a job for about 12 years. she just sits around all day and smokes and drinks and has her scummy friends over.
within two years though, i've been finding drugs and substances throughout the house that were clearly hers, marijuana and cocai...

Sometimes he acts fine, but sometimes he acts completely opp
Posted Tuesday August 22 2006, 8:08 pm
I'm sorry that this is so long.
Well, let's just say my dad isn't the greatest dad in the world.
Sometimes my dad is okay and happy. But when he is actually like that, I don't see why he thinks I want to spend time with him.
If I just go and ask him one little question, he starts yelling at me. Normally I end up crying and he doesn't even care. All he does is yell, "STOP CRYING!" Everytime I end up going up to my room and laying down on my bed crying.
He always yells at my mom and they argue a lot. He hit her once and she threatened to call the police if he did it again, but instead he went upstairs and slammed the door. He threatens her with divorce a lot.

Okay...so when i was like...eight, my parents split up. and when around when i was 11(or twelve???) my mother met this guy on the internet(his name is nick). and she met with him after a while. and he said he was divorced. and then he lost his job (he lived in the appartment where he worked). and so without any questions about if i minded or anything...he moved in with us. and i hated it. everything was cramped and messy and nothing in our house matched. and i completly hated it. and then my sister (she was 17 then?) moved oout because she couldnt stand him and she dropped out of high school and went to live 60 miles away...so....none of my friends would come over when he was there...and all of my relatives hated him and really wouldnt talk...

Pissed off
Posted Monday August 21 2006, 9:30 am
I feel like I can't make anybody happy lately. It's like all I can do is piss my parents off, my siblings off, my coach and my boss off. I feel like I can't keep up and everyone thinks I'm selfish for trying to pursue my goals because they all have things going on right now too.

mother and money
Posted Monday August 21 2006, 1:02 am
sorry if this is long, but i really need help. every summer, my parents encourage my sister and I to do math to get a head start on the school year ahead of us. my mom used to assign me pages of problems to do, and when i finished she would give me 100 dollars. (keep in mind, i'd been doing this all summer). at the end of last school year i asked her if i could do a french tutor instead of the math and still get the money and she said yes. well she didn't get around to signing up with a tutor until a month into summer (it wasn't like she was busy, she was just sort of putting it off). and then when she finally made arrangements the tutor asked her for a days that i was free and my mom didn't get back to him in time, so by then it was a mont...

everyone's mad at me (warning long question)
Posted Sunday August 20 2006, 4:37 pm
Ok to start 14/f
Before I ask my question I'll give you a backround
Today i woke up and i was pissed because i got little sleep. My little brother was talking to my dad about how i dont go to sleep when im supposed to (12am) because I get on my computer and stay on there till about 2 or 3 am. My dad was pissed and said that when school starts for the first 3 months he will cut off the internet. Then since I was still pissed I was ranting on about how school sucks and that landed me a 15 min lecture about how if i didnt go to school I wouldnt be smart and get a good job. Later today my older brother started thinking that im turning anerexic because I had not (and still havent) eaten anything all day. I kinda blew that off and t...

i'm sorry but i just can't handle it
Posted Sunday August 20 2006, 8:59 am
i am EXTREMELY tired. i have to wake up before my mom does (which is pretty early) because i think i have to check my stuff before she does. she gets up, goes to the bathroom, and first thing she does is goes on my computer and checks all my things. i don't really know why i get this way. but, it's like i feel like now i have a phsycological problem. it's like i HAVE to see it before she does! i've tried talking to her about it. she could care less. i've written her letters, she doesn't care. Every time I try to explain to her how i feel, she will say yes and that she will stop, and she never does! she also gets mad when i call other family in the morning. she is so jealous! SHE IS DRIVING ME INSANE! i honestly can't anymore and I don't know what to do

Baby shower gift for my brother's upcoming child
Posted Saturday August 19 2006, 9:37 am
I purchased a pair of socks for my brother's not-yet-born child and plan to give them as a gift at the baby shower, which is next month. These are really nice socks, made out of merino wool, and (for socks) they were kind of expensive.
However, I fear that if I just give a pair of socks at the baby shower, I will appear cheap and unwelcoming of the baby. Should I just give the socks but explain that they are 100% merino wool? Should I buy multiple pairs of merino wool socks? Should I buy an additional gift?
Incidentally, this baby will be the first full nephew I will have. My half-siblings have had seven children between them, but this is the first time a full sibling has had a child.

Dating a guy outside my race
Posted Friday August 18 2006, 9:53 pm
I'm Italian-American and my family is pretty old fashion when it comes to dating. They're not in anyway racists at all but they don't exactly believe in dating outside our race (like any guy that isn't white).
Well I've meet this guy since school started (I've actually met him at parties and stuff before but never really had a chance to get to know him) and he asked me out on a date.
I like him and all and I know my dad would love him (my parents always meet my dates when they come pick me up :/ ). He's Mr. all star football running back, he's smart (top 10% of our class, actually), and he's oh so respectful. But one problem, he's black. And like I said before, my parents aren't into that.
