Forum: Relationships and Family

for you all who remember my thread about the family friend that has repeatedly spoken to me inappropriately while drunk. i haven't seen him since his birthday party in the summer, but i finally got the chance to talk to my counselor about it after my best friend twisted my arm this past week...

I'd like your opinions on something we did if you'd be so kind as to share them. My kiddos have recently become aware of all the cool things money can buy. We've started giving them an allowance for doing their chores, practicing their extra curriculare things and bonuses for going above and...

my favorite boy name is Alex, and my favorite girl name is...hmm. id honestly have to think about it. but off the top of my head, Lexi. which is my name...haha. well my birth name is Alexis. :)

i'm not sure what i think, people always ask me if i would go out with a meateater, i always say yes but only if they respect my belief- and i will their's. but i'm not sure because i wouldn't possibly beable to kiss a meateater unless they wash their teeth!! I just can't even think of it. Most of...

ok a friend of mine was having a party tongiht and i was going to get a ride with my ex (we're still good friends). but i had already decided i couldn't go because i have the MOST homework (gotta love university crunch time). so anyways, she invited this guy that i had a summer fling with like 2...

My mom asked me tonight why I've been spending so much time away from home, assuming I had a girlfriend. I told her straight out that I had a boyfriend. She is kind of freaking the f*ck out. After asking me if I'm serious 100 or so times, she just kept repeating stuff like "why would you...

This has been an issue over the years. I get the definite impression that my MIL is offended because I won't eat her 'wonderful' cooking -- which is based around meat and bacon grease. (Ugh!) I get the vibe that I am just a pain in the a** because I won't eat what's prepared. (This only comes...

Not that it's a bad thing, I think it's a very good thing that she decided to go vegetarian. While I agree, some omnivores are dummies :p but she keeps picking at the fact that a couple of students eat meat. It just makes me uncomfortable. Then they (the omnis) say stupid things like "Fish don't...

I need help with a sticky situation. A couple of years ago, a family member came to live with us. She had lost her job and had some medical issues to deal with. We were happy to help in the way that we did. The problem is that it really is time that she move on. All of her medical issues...

There has been a new "stray" hanging around our house the past couple of days. I always put food out for the strays, and noticed that this cat was VERY friendly. He came up in my lap, and started kneeding, which led me to discover he is completely declawed, and neutered. So, while my husband was...

I know that the holidays can be a tough time for vegheads, we all have our horror stories. But, as turkeyday and meatmas are just around the corner lets give thanks to family that have been supportive and maybe that was transformed into a stronger unit thru vegetarianism. I'll start: After...

I've always been a shy person. As a child I really wasn't required to do anything to step out of my shell or prove to myself that I could do things in front of people and survive. I'm still working on it to this day. My son is the same way...probably worse. He's 10. I have him in chorus,...

I live with my parents, and all my sisters have moved out. So this obviously makes me the one cared for the most. Last year in September, my Dad got a shot of Imitrax(SP?) that sent him into cardiac arrest. Luckily, he came out of this. Since then, he has had "pain" everywhere. He does not go...

There have been a lot of post recently on how unsupportive mothers/grandmothers/MILs/S.O.s can be. They really made me realize just how lucky I am! My Mother is the original vegetarian, so no flack from her. My BF's mom is the sweetest lady, and when she found out I was vegetarian, looked...

so my neighbor was outside mowing his lawn today and just decided to mow ours, too, since it's starting to get overgrown. i went outside and thanked him; he knew that my husband's not here at the moment and wanted to help out since he knew that i probably wouldn't get around to it myself. i'd...
