Family affairs.
Posted Tuesday March 28 2006, 3:43 am
My mother is having an affair, thing is. If she gets caught by my step-father, he will kick both her and me out. I have two years of school left, and I need to get good grades to get into further study because i dont have much $$. How do i convince her that she's gambling with my entire future?

I'm not anti-social......
Posted Sunday March 26 2006, 6:32 pm
So there's this boy who is 10, my babysitter's son, and he's all nice and stuff. Anyway I'm 14 and it's not that I'm anti social but I rather not talk to him. The boy is creepy...he always watches and talks and laughs and then after just looks at me. It's so annoyin. It's not like I feel to high but I'm scared of him, not in a "i'm going to kill u" more in a way of "he likes me". I don't like young ppl like him and it's really scary. I think he has a crush on me cause he's always lookin at me and then he's being all friendly.
I don't want to sound anti social...but wen he talks to me i jus say yeah or no and shunn away. Wen he looks at me I look away or jus ignore him. What can I do without tellin him?

MY mother don't do anything!
Posted Saturday March 25 2006, 3:32 pm
My mother and I have jsut started talking about a year ago. She was with a man I did not like and she choose him over me after he crossed a few lines that should have never been crossed. Well everytime I have something important come up like surgery or graduating from something she does not show up. She makes these big excuses and blames everyone else for her not showing up. Now I understand that she lives 12 hours away from me, but when she is offered a free trip up here with someone else I think she should take it. Ever since my little girl was born my mother has only seen her 4 times. I feel like I'm the one that has done something wrong. Should I feel this way? How can I tell her that she is hurting me and don't even act like it bother...

what should I do about my family
Posted Saturday March 25 2006, 3:27 pm
Ok I just had surgery wednesday the 22nd of march, well my grandmother came to my town to "take care of me." When I got out of the hosiptal my husband was upset because my grandmother had been telling him what he needed to do with my little girl, basically telling him how he needed to raise her. Well in order to keep peace with my family he let me know how he felt about her getting into our business and telling him how to raise our daughter. Do you think that you could give me advice on how to let her know NICELY to back off and that he can raise her the way he wants too?

Uncaring?
Posted Friday March 24 2006, 9:24 pm
Ok, this may sound wierd but...I don't love my family. Yea...it's true. I find it so hard to realate and connect with them. We rarely communicate outside of yelling and complaining. I do want a family that I can come home to every day and feel comfortable with but...I don't think they're going to change. How do I make us closer? (13/f)

my mom used to get drunk. a lot. she only admitted to two of the numerous occassions, and then she started to blame sleeping pills for her "acting weird". she said she'd stop buying wine. she did for maybe 2 months, then started again. the thing is I'M the only one who knows shes drunk! my sister always comes up with excuses (shes defensive) and my mom just denies it. today she bought more wine (she was tipsy before she bought it though) and i asked her to not buy it because she said she wouldnt. she did anyway and so i ignored her, and then she got angry and asked whats wrong and i told her and she started saying crap like "stop acting like your better than me.

In-laws too close for comfort
Posted Wednesday March 22 2006, 10:59 am
My husband's parents recently brought up the idea of buying a large piece of property in my town so they, my husband and I, and my brother-in-law and his family can all live together. We will each have our own house on the property so it will be something like a family commune.
I'm against the idea. They tend to be nosy and don't see a problem with dropping in unannounced and expecting to be entertained. There is also the fact that they do not like me and go out of their way to make sure I know that. They have went so far as to tell me that I'm a bad wife and tell my husband he made a mistake marrying me. I have told my husband that if they do move here, I want to move somewhere else. He is also against the idea. He sees thei...
