E asked: So what do you usually do for spring break?
I seriously need an idea what to do.
BTW: I can’t drive yet, I don’t live near any movie theater, mall, or amusement park, my parents are both working (my dad have his office in house), and it’s raining outside… so I can’t go out and play sports.

A. Roman asked: I’m a kid who just went black friday shopping for family presents (mom,dad,sis,bro). I do not work, im a student. The money I spent came from a year long savings of weekly allowance.
1. I just a bought a present for my mom this Christmas. The present is quite expensive but I’ve taken notice that she’s been wanting it very much; it’s a digital cam (she doesn’t know). When she found out I bought her something, she was ticked off and kept whining why I bought her something. She said I should’ve kept my money etc. But I just really wanted her to have something for Xmas, that is good. She did’nt even say “thank you”, she just went….”Didn’t I tell you not to spend….blah blah blah”
2. I bought presents for my family. And I love to give generously. But I just found out that….im just getting a COBY mp3 player (even though I have an iPod,,..that is broken..that my parents dont know) and a $20 memory stick….
The fact im bothered is not dat I’m getting a cheap present but,
but… the fact that my parents DO have the money and still give me those kind of things. I mean… I put a lot of effort to what I give so I’m sure they are going to enjoy it dearly…why don’t I get the same feeling back?

asked:
I had a falling out with my parents 3 years ago. My daughter was about 2 at the time. I no longer speak to them nor do they see my one and only daughter. Last xmas I broke down and sent a xmas card w/ a picture of my daughter, wrote in the card to call me if they felt like talking some time. (You see they changed their phone number and I was not privy to the new number). No response. My father calls me in Feb. to let me know my Uncle passed away and he was in the car on his way to the funeral as we spoke. He told me, among other things, I should make amends with my mother. I said I don’t have your phone number. He said he would call me back with it and never did. To receive these cards in the mail for my daughter from them cause me grief, pain, anguish, anger. My daughter never sees these cards, when the fight started she was young and **** to say it forgotten them, so whats the point in me showing her these cards?? She don’t remember them. When she got older I was going to try to explain my cooky family but, now she is to young to understand. I don’t want to keep them. If we are ending the relationship, then end it. I’ve condensed this the best I can but, this stuff goes deep and I haven’t even scratched the surface.

Short N Blonde N Side Swept asked: So I called my ex-fiance on Christmas. I felt kind of sorry for him because he’s in a new state, one of his roommates moved out and the other went home for Christmas, his parents didn’t bother calling him to wish him a Merry Christmas (nor did they answer the phone when he called to wish them a merry xmas). I asked him what he was planning to do that day and he sounded kinda sad and said, “I’m going to call my friend “John” and see if he wants to go to IHOP and try to find a bar for drinks.”
When I mentioned the two friends he had made right before we broke up, he was like, “Oh, I haven’t talked to them in weeks. They just kinda stopped calling. Everyone seems to do that to me after awhile.”
He seemed really down and I felt so bad, so I bought him a gift (nothing big, just a $20 book i know he’s been wanting) and sent it to him with a card saying, “Happy Holidays” the following day. I don’t believe he’s gotten it yet.
If he calls me when he gets it and asks why I sent it and I tell him the truth, will it **** him off? Should I lie and say, “I sent it because I felt like it?”
edit: even though we’ve broken up, i do still care a lot about him and i decided to call because i know he doesn’t have very many friends in the state or any family, so i thought he might want to hear a friendly voice.
Salacious – Than I guess it’s a good thing that you’re not my type. I wouldn’t come near a guy like you with a six foot pole. YAY

smiley asked: with my first December 25th as a muslim, I need to make some choices-
Do I get presents for the sake of a family gathering?
What about my family refusing to give me Eid presents?
[ I didn't demand that they do but when it came up in conversation, my mom noted that 'this is a christian household so I would get presents from her on Christmas']
Is it immature or proactive to not share in their holiday when they didn’t share in mine?
I’d appreciate any feedback/advice on this subject- please provide proactive comments, not insults
Good point about Eid and gifts and I see it as an occasion for worship with gifts being a ‘side note’ so to speak
- my point was that when I mentioned Eid, my family were very negative about acknowledging it at all or wanting to hear about why Muslim celebrate.
I should clarify that I am married and don’t live with my parents. Also I agree with the historical proof that xmas is a pagan holiday made religious, which my parents believe too but still observe. Thanks

.vato. asked: My father-in-law and mother-in-law are divorced. They both remarried other people. My father-in-law got divorced again from his new wife about a month ago. When my FIL and MIL were married they had friends together. My FIL recently came in contact with one of their old friends who is also divorced. She also happened to be my MIL’s good friend when they were still married. They took a vacation in Key West together already. I hope you aren’t too confused yet. LOL!
Anyway, my husband and I had made plans to have our first Thanksgiving together this year. We’ve been married for a while but every year we go to another family member’s house for festivities. This was our year. My FIL was invited to come to our house for Thanksgiving this year.
Then the other day he invited us to come to his new girlfriend’s house [my MIL’s good friend] for Thanksgiving. My husband knows her and her family from when his parents were still together. I don’t want to go for many reasons. 1. I feel bad for my MIL and I think it’s wrong. 2. We already invited him here and he knew we were doing our own Thanksgiving. 3. We had planned to have this one at our house.
My husband doesn’t want to tell his dad we aren’t going and doesn’t understand why I don’t want to go. Furthermore, he hasn’t the slightest idea how to tell him that we don’t want to go. Any suggestions? Advice? Opinions? Anything would be useful!
Thanks!!
I know this is in the wrong section. I normally get sound advice in this section so I put it here. Thank you!
I guess the thing that bothers me is he does this almost every year and every holiday where there is a weekend off.
I feel like he plan OUR life and that’s not right. We’ve gone along with it so far [with other events] and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of waiting 4-5 days before we’re about to do something for him to come along and change it.
The way he confronts my husband is by telling him “We are going to go to Lisa’s house for Thanksgiving this year. If she doesn’t call we’ll go to a resturant.”
Hello? We’re adults for one and I just don’t have any respect for him which really doesn’t matter but it’s just irritating especially so close to Thanksgiving. I just want one holiday where his family doesn’t come in and make it crazy. Haha!
We haven’t invited other people over. We’re military and our friends are going back home for Thanksgiving. So, if he doesn’t come it will just be us. Which really would be a relief to me.
If you can’t already tell I have many issues with this man. My MIL divorced him after he cheated on her. He recently was divorced from his wife because they were both physically abusive. He was also a horrible father to my husband. Just to list a few things. I’ve kept a smile on my face for years. I’ve given him benifit of doubt. I’ve tried so hard to get along. I’ve put a lot into this relationship. I guess I’m just fed up now.
Another thing [and I'm sorry for adding so many details] is my husband told him two days ago that I was so excited to do Thanksgiving this year. He called this morning ‘confirming’ our plans to go to his girlfriend’s house. Which pretty much means he’s told her we were going even after my husband tried to nicely decline his offer. UGGH!
