Advice & Discussions
My family - is it me or them?!
Haven't ever written about my family on here, but just needed a bit of advice as I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't see my family that often because we live so far apart. I am giving up work to be a stay at home mum which was something my own mother could never afford to do and I gave up smoking years ago.
Kids and food!
My 13 year old will not eat anything but meat, potatoes, rice and veggies. Can't touch each other on the plate either! FORBID! LOL! But with winter coming, I like to use the crock pot for casseroles. FORBID again! How do I convince him that it tastes good? I AM NOT cooking 2 seperate meals, and the summer was a lot of grilling, which suited him fine.
Beginning to hate my parents.
I first came here with a broken heart then to talk about my dad cheating on my mom and now it is worse. I am not even sure if people of my age have problems with their parents. I always thought it was a teenage thing.
The opinions of family members are offensive to me and I don't really like it
Members of my family have always been classist and homophobic, and I must admit that even I was for a time, largely because of their influence. But as I've become older and hopefully wiser I don't dislike poorer people or gays as much, and generally see people for who they are.
