Need comebacks for ppl who are not meaning to be rude to my non-redhead son
Posted Thursday March 4 2010, 11:45 pm
I am a redhead and grew up hating it because I was different than the rest of my family. I never felt like I fit in at all. I love it now, but back then, I wanted to dye it brown so that I would be like everyone else.
Well now I have an almost-3-year-old son who has sandy brown/blonde hair and a 5.5 month old son whose hair matches mine perfectly. I knew that someday people would start commenting, but I didnt realize it would be so soon. We went to the doctors office and she said to my 5 month old "look at that hair!" and then to my 3 year old "where's your red hair?" He didnt understand (he did say "I dont know") but I know that, one of these days, he's going to feel like people are saying that he ...

Mom....

19/f
Hi! I'm writing here because I'm having some issues with my mom. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My parents are divorced and I live with my mom. I never really had a relationship with my dad until now. Now we are close. But, before, it was really just me and my mom. We live with my grandparents (her parents). In June 2009, the day after I graduated from high school, my parents decided to tell me I was adopted. I just met my biological family in June. When I was younger, I noticed some peculiar things. My mom was like kind of overly obsessed with me. By obsessed, I mean that since I was 13, and talking to a boy for the first time, she would sit by the computer while I was IMing and tell me what to say. Let me just make...

My mom is always critizing and lecturing me.
Posted Thursday March 4 2010, 10:27 am
17/f I have been the same person since I was ten. I've liked the same music, same style, same people. But my mom hates the guys I date. She says they are cute but pobably not going anywhere in life and I should like really smart boys who are going to be rich and so I never have to work. She says this all the time and I am sick of this lecture. I've gone on dates with the type of guy she wants me to date and I have nothing in common with them. I just don't know what to say to her. I can't help who I like, money has never been too important to me, and she says the only reason I don't care about money is because i've never had to worry about it. Which is true, my family is pretty wealthy and I didn't even know the economy was bad until my frie...

Should cancer be a reason to break it off?
Posted Tuesday March 2 2010, 2:56 pm
I met a wonderful widow with 3 children, 12, 14 & 16. Her husband died from cancer a year ago. We've been dating for almost 9 months. I asked her to marry me after 5 months, she said yes. I found out that I have cancer 1 month after. It appears that this cancer I have is not a very treatable kind. I can prolong my life several yrs., but not much longer, unless I am the one in a million miracle. We have not told the children. It was very hard on them watching there father take 2 yrs to pass. I don't want to hurt them again. She said we will hide it until it's obvious. I'm not sure if I want to put 3 kids into another tragic relationship so soon to their past one. I've grown to love them. Should I break it off with her?, should I break it...

can not move out.
Posted Saturday February 27 2010, 11:19 am
I am having such a difficult time in my life right now. Mainly I am just sick of having to deal with the problems I have with my mom. And I feel like all men wants to do to me in sexualize me. Right now it really pisses me off that my mom acts like she wants to be distant from me and when she knows I am too upset she say things like I love you when the way she acts is far from that. I keep remembering what happened to us last year during new years eve that she does not care about me anymore at all . And wanted to leave me for ever . But then I am not working right now nor was I then. Cause the main reason is that I am a foreigner and I just came into this country 12 years ago. And that makes it hard for me to find employment since the only ...

How do I tell my mom I don't want to go to prom?
Posted Monday February 22 2010, 1:09 am
I'm going to graduate this year and so we have this senior prom coming up. Everybody is making a big fuss about buying expensive prom dresses and getting all dolled up with their boyfriends for this dance and I really am not interested in it. I'd rather just chill with my friends, watch some bad movies and eat some junk food, and make a long night of it at home.
I've never been really girly so the whole $300 dress thing doesn't appeal to me. My boyfriend is cool with me not wanting to go to the prom and thought maybe I should even have my own home-party instead so that I could "do something special" too.
The problem is with my mom. Ever since I started high school my mom has been really excited ab...

Advice about life and love for someone without a father!
Posted Sunday February 21 2010, 11:30 pm
I grew up without a dad. I have always been really use to not having a father-figure but I know that there are things that only a dad can really tell you and teach you. I'm a girl so I guess nobody can really understand how much a father means to me, and how much a little girl can learn from her dad, but I'm just sure I'm missing something. I was hoping that somebody here can share some of the tips about life and love their dad gave them? Maybe some things your father taught you that you didn't realize until you were a little older? Or maybe things you think dad's usually tell their kids, especially their daughters? ANYTHING is better than nothing and I appreciate every word you feel you can share with me that came from your father (o...

I think my dad is cheating...should I tell my mom?
Posted Sunday February 21 2010, 3:05 am
Last night I came downstairs really late and saw my dad on the computer. I was walking through the house to go to the kitchen for a drink and saw that he was on some sort of video-chat with another woman. She had her top off though and my dad was typing to her.
Today I sort-of tried to see if my dad would tell me anything about what was going on last night. I said to him, "You were up pretty late last night. Was everything OK?" He said he was up getting some paperwork done for work. I couldn't really do any more confrontation about it but he didn't seem nervous at all.
Over the past month I've noticed my dad coming home late from work and taking private calls in my parents' bedroom sometimes. M...

I'm adopted and want to meet my birth mother. How do I tell my parents?
Posted Saturday February 20 2010, 2:48 am
I was adopted when I was little and I really want to meet the woman who gave birth to me. I'm curious about what she is like, especially since I spent a whopping 9 months inside of her :)
I don't know how to approach my parents about this though. I know my mom is going to cry because she's totally going to feel like I'm choosing my birth mother over her. I'm not though because my parents actually RAISED me and taught me stuff while my birth mother just, well, gave birth to me. I don't want to hide this from them either and I really do need their support.
I haven't really talked to my parents much about my birth mother to begin with because I'm nervous. How do I start asking questions about her to my parent...

My Boyfriends Family.

I have been with my boyfriend for over 3 years now and i still have a hard time wanting to go spend time with his family. They are very nice people and very welcoming. but i just feel that a couple members of his family are really judgemental. I've noticed them sometimes look me up and down to see what im wearing. and they have money, so what they wear is really nice, classy, pretty, whatever. I'm not rich, i wear jeans and a tee shirt most of the time. I want to spend more time with his family but every time i do i just feel like they are judging me. Usually i dont ever worry about that but with his family i am extremely worried. How can i stop worrying about what they think? I want to be more comfortable with going over to his house witho...

Mother
Posted Friday February 19 2010, 11:15 am
Okay so basically my mom is Crazy.
Ever since i was in fifth grade (I'm now 19) Shes just been ridiculous. Every time shes having a horrible day she'll come home and lock everyone out of the house. Its gotten to the point where my older brother will kick down the door.
There was one time when she was mad at me, she came up to me, hit me with shoes and then smeared peanut butter all over and and called the police.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore, i'm at my wits end. She constantly puts me down and says hurtful things all the time. I feel like the reason im so shy is because of how shes acted my whole life.
How do i approach her and let her know how im feeling, wi...

Problem with stepmom
Posted Friday February 19 2010, 1:28 am
I am 26 years old and having problems with my stepmom for at least 15 years. She continues to make negative remarks about my mother. I have tolerated her as long as I feel I can. I would like to have a relationship with my father, but he always sticks up for her. My sister told me of my stepmoms most recent remarks. I need some opinions of how I can calmly approach my dad without putting my sister in the middle and at the same time getting him to understand where I am coming from. Any ideas would really help.
