YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ THIS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO IT MIGHT BE BORING!!!!
well, my big brother (he’s the only sibling i have) our sibling relationship is more of friends even though he’s 22 and has friends of his own he still played video games and watched tv with me. when my mom was married to our step-dad (that neither of us liked nor his kids) he would never speak to me or go near me in fact i hardly ever saw him (do to his relationship with our step-family) but when i was home sick my mom made him stay home from school and we’d play school at home and at lunch time he’d make me tomato soup and grilled cheese then play school again.
our mom divorced our step dad and we move elsewhere and he’s had a few girlfriends (that i know of) the first girl i didn’t like i never really got to know her but i just had a feeling i wouldn’t like her (i was maybe 9) i only met her once but she broke up with him for another guy, the second one i actually liked she actually WANTED to get to know me and not just my brother but she broke up with him because he was moving too fast.
THE ACTUAL QUESTION!!!!!
NOW (so sorry for the life story and his GF story)
he got a new GF (fiance) she moved in with us cause her parents kicked her out shes not addicted to drugs but she does them if gets the chance, she used to smoke pot, and her mom and younger brother does drugs too and drinks, her cousin lives nearby and i’ll admit it i don’t like her or her family at all. I skipped her cousins baby shower today and now her cousin and her are mad at me. My brother asked her to marry him (not traditionally)
the way they got engaged was that they talked about it and decided they would and since he didn’t have a ring then (my family is not rich and we barely get by) all i ever heard from her was “do you have the money yet” “when am i gonna get my ring” “will it look good” “it better not be that ugly gold color”
she is SOOOO ungreatful she ALWAYS drags my brother away when he wants to watch tv or play games with me in fact i’m used to being let down and whenever he says “I promise” i always doubt him and whenever he keeps his promises (very rare) he wanders why i get surprised.
his lines are “not today” “i can’t i gotta go to bed” “im too tired” “(she) won’t let me”
the only time i get to even talk to him is when shes at work and he’s off work. and his fiance kinda forced the role bridesmaid on me without even consulting it with me first and my mother says i should do it, I hate the idea because i strongly dislike her and her family and since my whole family lives in a different country they cant go because of health or past injury (my whole family isnt like that only my aunts and uncles) one of my cousins is still in high school so he can’t come over on his own, and his sister (my other cousin) just had a baby so her, her baby, and her husband can’t go either. My mom is inviting some friends so i figured i could endure it if i had a friend or two, My mom said i had to ask my brothers fiance so i did and she asked “which one?” when i told her she said “no i don’t want her at my wedding she annoys me.” (my friend is my BEST FRIEND and by no means annoying what-so-ever she never ever talks to my brothers fiance) so after thinking
“i don’t like her or her family, my family won’t be there, i don’t know any of my moms friends, and i’ll be by myself” i figured i didn’t want to go and i told my mom and she yelled at me saying “he’s your brother!, he’s the only sibling you have!, you’ll be ok for *so many* hours!!!, you’ll regret it if you do!”
i honestly don’t wanna go and im sure no one will miss me, my mom will have her friends, his fiance will have him and her family, and he’ll have my mom and her, PLUS they both live with us so it’s not like i won’t see them everyday!!! who am i really hurting if i don’t go everyone will be too distracted to notice me gone.
Am i doing the right thing by not going?
if i end up being forced to go should i retry getting my friend to go?
and do you guys think i should go?
sorry its too long and trust me i know i didn’t explain exactly why i don’t like her but again trust me if you knew how she treats my brother you’d understand why. please help and thanks guys

I am planning to sing at my sisters wedding in September of this year. I have no idea on what i want to sing to my sister and my brother in law. I have thought of so many songs but i can’t narrow it down to just a couple. Any suggestions?
I asked the people in this section on which dress should I choose to wear at my cousin’s wedding reception (where I’ll be the receptionist, which means that I’ll be standing on the entrance greeting the arriving guests, and mingling with the guests before the couple enter the party) what I got was being called, atrocious, outlandish, distasteful, tacky, trashy etc. If I were any of those why would I bother to ask you if the first dress was inappropriate, and tried to find more modest dresses.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Why people are so condescending toward my taste in dresses? P.S I’m wearing the red one (1st dress with this hairdo)http://www.milanihair.com/blog/wp-conten…
Unless I’m Beyonce and I come in her wedding in a white wedding dress belting out “single ladies”, no one is going upstage her. She is the bride. My plan is to only look amazingly fierce that’s about it, which means that I am so not worried about stealing the bride’s thunder.
I really want to be a wedding planner but i do NOT want to have my own business i just couldn’t do it. What should i take in college that will give me experience in that field?? I am going to Solano Community College and they do not have event planning. So don’t know what i should take for it 
I need some opinions on which one us better, and what would be some good parts to add, or if it was a movie what scene would you add. I need an idea on first kiss and stuff, just tell the truth.
I am going to write another story. Usually my books are romantic, funny, but serious. I always imagine a middle aged woman as my main character. Usually Diane Lane, Cher, ect.
I need to know what my audiance would be more interested in reading. Here are my 2 options.
1 – Tess is a woman who works at minimun wage, and she always wanted to be a singer. So she signs up for a contest where there are 100 people competing, and each week they eliminate 10, abd the final 30 get to work at a dance club, while the winner goes on tour. Tess enters, and one of the mean judges (Sean) takes a hate into her, until she drives him home one night. Later on about 5 weeks into the compitition, they go to Sean’s sister’s wedding and have their first kiss dancing. And finally she wins 1st place and has an option to go on tour, but chooses to stay home with Sean forever.
2 – Sheryl lives in Iowa, but desides to take a vacation in LA for 1 month. She stays at a big hotel and is all alone, devorced twice and widdowed once. She gets a post card with a picture of the hotel on it, and writes “To the love of my life. Please come get me. I’ll be here until January 1st ” Then she writes her room number and tosses it out the window. The post card gets around by wind, ect, and soon a man named Steve finds it and wants to rescue Sheryl. But Sheryl gets scared so she changes rooms with another woman right before Steve gets there, and Steve falls for the other woman but on new years eve he breaks up with her because he finds out she’s bot Sheryl. On new years eve both steve and Sheryl go out to see the ball drop and Steve sees her and he just knows that it’s Sheryl.
I believe that my girl is deparated. She was with me immediately after she cancelled engangement with the prior guy. She asked me to marry her within 2 months in the relationship. She moved on and stay together with another guy immediately after saying break up with me. And she planned for wedding within 2 months with the new guy.
I felt that I have no life when I were with her because she wanted to be with me all the time. I felt to be controlled too much. I needed some space, then push her out.
Now I think that she wanted my attentions. If I give her a bit attention, inteads of pushing her far away, she may not require that much attention as I thought.
For example, in the morning, if I do not call her, she is upset. When I go to work, she wanted to go with me until I got in the office door. When I want to buy a gift to a friend, she want to accompany with me. Never want to leave me in few minutes.
She and me were in a relationship for 6 months. We fighted 2-3 days per week as she seemed to be needy. She wanted my attention all the time. If I did not call her, she was upset. Communication was worse and worse.
She tried to hold me but I felt too depress and want to separate. She shouted me and I also shouted her a lot by emotion but I did not care of fixing the relationship while she tried to fix it.
Suddently she left me for a new boyfriend. I got angry and called her a few times. During conversations, she devalued myselft and I got mad. As a result, we fighted each other over the phone.
Be honest, I want to be with this girl because I know if I pay attentions to her, give her trust, she will be alright. However, it is now too late. She is in a relationship with a new guy in 3 months. She hates me. She does not want to be with me.
She told me she is arranging for wedding with new guy in April next year.
Can I get her back? Any suggestion?
I’m a travel agent and was having a debate with the two other people I work with.
Occasionally the in-laws will come into my office and want to set up a honeymoon for their child and soon-to-be spouse as a wedding gift. But then some of the in-laws want to go along on the cruise with the newly married couple. A few of the mother-in-laws even wanted to be on the same floor with rooms right next to each other.
Ok, I obviously can’t say this to the customers, and also because I’m supposed to be selling vacations. But I think this is a bit awkward. I couldn’t imagine that the newly married couple wants their in-laws anywhere around them during their honeymoon. This is speculation, but I would guess the newlyweds feel they don’t have a say/don’t want to offend the in-laws since they’re being generous enough to pay for the honeymoon.
One of my co-workers agrees with me but has to go along with it as well. We’re not here to talk customers out of spending money! But the other co-worker thinks this is a great idea to have the entire family go along on the honeymoon. She has even hinted that the two of us are being ungrateful.
From personal experience, I get along great with my own parents and in-laws. But weddings tend to be rather stressful. To be honest, after the wedding we just wanted to get away and I didn’t want to be anywhere near my family (particularly mom and mother-in-law). Once we got back I was no longer stressed out and was glad to be around family again.
What do you think?
So I could use some advice. I absolutely HATE my MIL. I never used to until recently. I have always been nice and respectful towards her. She has always favored hubby’s brother over him. She rarely called hubby but called his brother at least twice a week. 7 months ago hubby’s brother asked us to cosign on a 100k loan. We said no. His mom called whining that they will lose their house and wah wah wah ( hubby’s brother owns parents house because they have no money and neither really work). We had a big family meeting at hubby’s gma’s house( he was raised by his gma since age 8 because his parents didn’t have money to raise him and were constantly going out). Well come to find out, his mother has been spreading rumors and talking crap behind my back. She told everyone that hubby’s aunt and uncle paid for our honeymoon(which they did not) and that hubby and I didn’t spend enough time with her at our wedding and we didn’t thank them enough.( they didn’t help out one bit! and we also hand wrote personal thank yous to them). She had called hubby whining about the loan and he had her on speakphone and she was saying that they will lose their house and he needs to take care of them and his brother. I spoke up and calmly said, we are not signing it. We have our own family to think about and that is that. She then turned around and called hubby’s brother saying I was yelling at her, and called her all these nasty names and she called me an f-ing little b. Since the whole family meeting, she has not called hubby to see how he was or how the pregnancy is going. She is so two faced and acts like she is this great person when she’s around other people and says how excited she is to be a gma. I don’t want her around my son. She is not invited to the baby shower. Hubby feels the same way. My biggest fear is that she will show up at the shower because his gma is invited and so are his aunts. My other fear is that she will show up at the hospital and also when I am home with the baby. I have no problems being rude and telling her to leave. I just know that deep down hubby really wants that relationship with his mom and he just isn’t going to get it from her. She is too self absorbed and favors his brother.
The worst part is that his brother’s wife assaulted hubby and we have to go to court about that. His mom didn’t even call and ask how hubby was. She knew all about the incident because she had talked to his brother. She also has said some of the meanest and nastiest things to hubby’s mom and she is still nice to her and sends her bday cards and calls her to apologize. I have never said one mean thing to her and she has yet to apologize to me for what she said. She lied to my face and everyone else’s when she was asked why she called me what she did. Even her husband and hubby’s brother told her she said it. I hate her. I really really don’t want to be around her. The holidays are coming up and I do not want to go to his family’s xmas if they have one.
I just don’t know what to do.
Hi im 13. My friends are 10 and 9. Now I have known my friend Hailey (10) since the day she was born. I used to go over to her house when I was younger (under 10) like every other day because my mom had to work. We used to hang out constantly and leave out my other friend the 9 year old she gets very jealous of us. Now these are my Uncle’s nieces and now my aunts. My mom had known their mother since my mom was like 25, because she was my aunts friend my aunt was 15 or 16 (lived together) and my uncle’s sister is their mother who was my aunts friend, if that makes any sense. Me and Hailey walked down the aisle at my aunts wedding, JUST THE 2 OF US! When I was 6 and Hailey was 3! We went to concerts, mueseums, amusement parks, movie theaters, shopping, you name it we always WENT TOGETHER! Since my mom got re-married (when I was 7 or 8), we moved away (like 2 hours) to where we currently live now. I saw them this year in summer when my aunt took us camping, and 2 weeks ago when my parents went to Vegas for the weekend and I stayed with my aunt. My mom didnt want Hailey to come over because she didn’t want her mom to know where we live, I dont know why though, but she’d let me go over there. Now my mom doesn’t really want me being around their mother because their mother has been having siezers, trying to kill herself, overdosing on pills, having multiple personalities, re-anacting moments from when she was 5, and all of this. I only get to see them when im at my aunts house! When I saw them last we gave phone numbers, but the texting lasted maybe 2 days. I remember when I was 11 I gave Hailey our phone number, she called our house constantly my mom liked to call her the “phone notsy”.
Anyways on Saturday my cousin Lexy is turning 3 and Hailey will be at that party (hailey lives 10 minutes away), but the party doesnt start till 5:00 and Hailey wont be there till 5:15. My mom planned on leaving by 1pm and staying there till 4! . I really don’t know how to tell my mom I want to stay to see them but I reallly REALLY do!! She’ll think i’m weird or something. Haileys mom even told my aunt “They are really close, childhood friends”.
Do you think thats why my aunt let hailey come over everyday I was there?
How do I tell my mom without it getting awkward??
Btw, haileys mom, dad, grandma and grandpa will be there.
