Confessions for Showing 81 - 90 of 662
I went many a Christmas watching my siblings get presents while I sat and got nothing. My mother had an afair, and I was the result. After that she was always so terrified her husband would leave her she never stood up for me. If he decided I wasn't getting gifts, then I didn't get any. Even the gifts from well meaning relatives that were meant for me went to a sibling, while I was made stand and watch them unwrap it.

shareMy friend works for this family of siblings a taking care of their 90something year old parents. They are healthy, witty and very active. The mom gets hair/nails done regularly and lunches regularly w/friends. The dad plays cards and does his thing. Neither if them are drooling or incapacitated. They dont drive anymore but thats what my friend is there for. So many generalizations. Every one ages differently.
I just don't have the money to buy my parent's and CF sister gifts this year. We don't buy for any of DH's siblings. My parents and sister are well off and have more then enough but I'm obligated to buy them a minimum of 60$ each gift. If I had the money I would gladly. But can't I just pay my bills instead!?
Trying to reach out to stepsons. Met them once yrs ago.due to extreme distance,extreme hostility between DH and his ex,and low finances.
Not sure how bio mom or step kids react. They haven't met our kids yet,their siblings.
my older sis/42, has been at home for 3 days with a bad back. i took her to the chiropractor yesterday and she goes to see her regular doctor today. dh's older brother/51, has been in the hospital for 3 days because of complications from diabetes. we love our siblings so very much. can i ask you guys to say a prayer of healing for them. thank you so much!
You're awful if you don't have any kids; but you are bad if you only have 1 for not giving that kid a sibling. If you have 2, you are only OK if it's one of each gender - if not you *have* to try for the other gender or you can't possibly be happy! 3 kids are usually fine as long as there's one of each too. But have 4 or more it's too many and you are irresponsible.
If step children don't know if they want a relationship with the stepmother or any half siblings, should the step mother or half siblings try to reach out to them? Send gifts? Or leave the step kids alone, the kids will come forward when they are ready?
Growing up in a house with so many siblings and no money was no fun at all. We rarely had chrismas presents. We did not even have love. my parents argued constantly and fought about money and other stuffs. So yeah, go ahead and tell the world that you have kids because of love. I suffered and hated that life until now.
My step kids aren't to warm and friendly to me and my kids. We haven't done a single thing wrong to the step kids,except we had to move away for a job. They don't want to interact with me or thier 1/2 siblings. So DH said its all of us or no one. He means it too, since we live over 5000 miles away.
Mailed Xmas gifts for step kids.put alot of effort and thought in gifts.
MILdidnt tell me they don't want to see me or our kids. DH told me she said that.
Met them once,they haven't met 1/2 siblings. DH had to move far far far away for work. Now I feel like I shouldn't have sent anything,if they don't like us.totally awkward.
