First of all, my thanks to your husband for his service and to your whole family for all the sacrifices you make while he is deployed.

My father served in the RCAF when I was very little, but luckily he was always right at home with us from the time he married my mother. Actually, my daughters have been away from us much more as young cadets than…[Read more]

I for one don’t think blood is thicker than water I have friends that are closer than family and would be there for me before my family would be. I don’t believe that just because your family your always going to be there for one another, hasn’t work out that way in my life, any one can become “family” I see people use the were family so we stick…[Read more]

I am the type of person who doesn’t yell unless extremely upset( takes a tremendous amount of disrespect and wrongfulness to get me there) I talk things out even when the other person is yelling I can remain calm and talk. I have never left an argument until it is handled because I feel like then it just gets left open and you argue more.

Hello everyone.  I am the type of person that does not like to argue.  Unfortunately you just cannot reason with some people.  I respect that everyone is different but when tempers flare it causes a variety of situations.  Whether it be with a spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, family member, or just friends.  I read a news story about this woman who…[Read more]

@peschpurple, so sad peach your son dares to argue with you. He forgot that children ought to love their mother. This time many young teenagers lacking respect to their parents. They feel arguing with them thought they are wrong is just an ordinary thing. I hope he will realize that he will be nothing without you.Sorry for the pain and ache caused…[Read more]

Oooh my goodness peachpurple this must be really sad to keep having arguments with your son and hubby, I know sometimes silence is the best thing but again it can really hurt when you say nothing at all, it’s good to confront issues just check the tone of your voice and the choice of words he will eventually listen to you just don’t be too fast to…[Read more]

@peachpurple  In our family they believe in “Each for themselves and God for everyone” (lol) There was a time when we were living under the same roof there was so much of unity and love for each other. Now that everyone has separate lives having got married with kids and a husband very little interaction exists between siblings.  But no one has d…[Read more]

As @ nakitakona13 told, we can’t expect the same thing from our in-laws like our parents or siblings, and we may not get support from our spouse even if we are 100% right. They are not our blood relations. In-laws want to dominate on new members of the family, and for the same reason their ego will hurt if they support their daughter-in-laws. @peac…[Read more]

this type of arguments happened to me every week !

It is either my 9 year old son or my hubby but never my teenager daughter.

My hubby would use hurtful words but I kept quiet.

I cannot defend for myself because he will say that I am being “demanding, ungrateful and trying to challenge him”

So, if I carry…[Read more]

I understand what you are trying to say.

However, it seemed that  this phrase doesn’t fit in my family either.

Since you are right that in laws are not blood related, how about my own parents and siblings?

They treated us all the same.

When in time trouble, they distance themselves from us, did not…[Read more]

I am sorry about your dad.

I had read your comment just now on my other question.

That is really bad of them to treat you and your mom.

That is what happened to us too.

So, now we distance ourselves from them.

It seemed that they are curious instead of our cold treatments

thanks for your kind words.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any Good people around us, especially family members who are close in blood relation.

Sometimes, friends are better off than family members because they help us when we are in need of help

The point of order: Blood is thicker that water. This is phrase is absolutely correct. For the sake of discussion, I say that something must be clarified here. You are in trouble why your in-laws are too indifferent with you. They never mind anything at all as if nothing h as been transpired among you.

Well, practically and idiomatically…[Read more]
