My husband and I are expecting our first baby. Plans with his career fell through a few months ago and we are forced to move back in with my parents until we get back on track. We have been very busy (both working full time, packing, and moving). It has left us with not much time to enjoy the pregnancy. My parents have been very supportive and I am so grateful. However- I feel bad because my mom recently made me feel like she overstepped her boundaries. Last weekend I started unpacking new baby shower items with her. My husband was at work and didn't get to help. We are scheduled to move in with them in 3 days and the baby isn't due for another 5 weeks. I told my mom last weekend 3x that "I wanted to wait to do anymore until we are moved in, and that I like doing this- it is fun for me and I want to get our stuff moved in so we can finish setting up". Last night I called to say hi and found out my mom was going through our gifts and opening them/setting up. I feel guilty for not feeling appreciative. But I also feel like she is over stepping and not allowing my husband and I to enjoy this moment, when I was very clear about how we felt. Please help, I want to know if I am just being over sensitive before I say anything. 

The daughter was close to her mother and not him. Son was close to Dad and I am told not close to the mother though tolerant of her. The daughter did ask her father to holidays, she was better then my Mom is, but her father said no cause he didn't want to be around his ex. I found that cruel on the great-uncle's part though not my business. I did not know the ex, they split long before I was born. So my question is if it is normal for son to love the Dad post-divorce and distance himself from the mother and for daughters to do the exact opposite? The alcoholism was kind of irrelevant as it came later but thought I would add it in case it may play a role. Daughter had kids so maybe was cautious but she still asked him to holidays. The son never married.

it ant fair :[

Husband was in prison when he sent divorce papers. Back in 2013. It was mutual. I had signed and sent paper work back the same week.  It is now 2019 and the divorce case is still active.  It is not closed. How can we get this finalized. Can I obtain the papers sign again and send them in. He did not have a lawyer representing him.  We both need this fixed. Any advice? When we call the court they are zero help and can't seem to answer any questions.  This is in California by the way. 

My wife is one of four children. She is the second yougest.All of the children are in their 40's and 50's. She has a younger brother and he is very self-centered. He supposedly has ADHD. He is a software engineer and is married and has two kids. He thinks the world revolves around him. When he wants to get together with his siblings or tries to plan an event with his family, he does not take into consideration the planing invovled and who might be affected by what he wants to do. He simply expects the "magic to happen" and whatever event he wants to have just occurs. For instance he might want to take his childfren somewhere and meet up with all of us on a random Sunday. He doesn't think to think that his kids might not like the event or they may have already done it, he just wants it to happen. His wife rolls her eyes and tries to accomodate him while my wife and her sister scramble to make this happen so HIS kids won't be unhappy. I get annoyed because my wife and I have two kids of our own and it feels like my wife and her sister are still raising their younger brother and this is being done at the expense of our kids. He also acts in a condescending manner towards his sisters and me. When I tell my wife that I think her brother behaves poorly, she says that she and her parentS and other siblings just chalk it up to his ADHD. I think that is a cop-out because many people who have ADHD don't behave in that manner. How do I deal with it all?

Details, So Husband and Wife separated for over two years, divorce papers have been filed and submitted recently, so still in that waiting, for a judge to sign phase. Wife Removes $1600 from the husband's account without asking. The husband also was under the assumption that she was removed from his account. Don't ask how he didn't know because I asked that question. Legally what can he do to get his money back from her? Yes, He was to damn trusting of her. And no they didn't have a separation agreement. It was just a super shitty thing to do on her part and wondered if there was anything he could do besides eat his ignorance.

There have been times I have genuinely enjoyed her company; I believe she is a sweet, sincere person. However, I have expressed many concerns regarding our differences in religion and long-term goals in life. I'm an agnostic and I've wanted to travel and become an entrepreneur. She is a devout Christian who wants to settle down and have a family. I've also lost attraction to her (she's 37 and I'm 32), and I have bickered with her about health eating habits. I understand that she has a very difficult routine and schedule (like working 12 hours and not having a car), so she can't go to the gym. My response is that she could at least eat better, but she doesn't seem to want to.  I am guilty of giving her mixed signals. We have talked about marriage; I have said that we could marry and live together, even saying that we could open a joint business. But this week I started looking for rings, prompting me to feel very anxious (severe insomnia, eating far less, drinking excessively, and not exercising as well as I usuaully do). I see that marriage isn't the right thing for me. But I feel guilty because I've told her that we'd marry, even though I have not formally proposed. I feel guilty because I am playing with her feelings.  Should we just break up? Honestly, I'm just not happy anymore; I realized that this weekend after I thought about it. How do I tell her this?

 what should the husband do as he won't get that honour as is wife already slept with many men before?

I'm a woman and so I don't want to be this way if I marry one day. She treats my stepfather's family horrible behind their back and she used to be the same with my dad's family were married. She's on again off again with her brothers wife and she's mean to my brothers wife behind her back who is her daughter-in-law. Leslie my mom's other brother is divorced but she was cold his then wife. Apparently my moms mom is like this with the two daughters in law though I haven't noticed as much and I know that my grandmother is very mean to her husband's only living sister. Lastly one of my moms grandmothers apparently disliked each and everyone of her sons wives and her own mother-in-law and sisters in law so similar to my mom. So my question is whether it's almost universal that women don't like their in-laws? Is that the case? Should I be prepared for it if I marry one day?

Parent A has joint custody with Parent B. Parent A is primary residential custodian. Parent B has been in a unhealthy relationships where partner has cut wrist, domestic violence, cops involved (separate times) all while child was present. Parent B filed EPO on partner but later dropped it. Social services was involved and found evidence substantial labeling partner cant be around child until counseling and anger classes are complete. Now Parent B keeps lying stating they have split up when CPS is involved or judge. Facebook is a back and forth showing single then back together then single. How can Parent A show judge that B cannot make good decisions as they keep putting child in these situations therefore B should not have custody or make Big decisions involving child.

Would getting married affect me kids getting their Medicaid benefits they already get in NC?

His new wife who wants to sell his own house to buy hers and is cashing on all his savings? 

My mother in law is planning a family trip to Australia scheduled for July 2020. She is paying for all travel expenses. My husband and I have had and continue to have a rocky marriage. I often feel I want a divorce but over the course of our 11 years together with 2 young children I've resisted going through with it. We also have had our good times that makes me feel our marriage can last. For the past several months our marriage has been especially rough. Should I tell my mother in law that theres a chance my husband and I are going to be separating/divorce? I don't want to involve her in our issues but I also don't want her wasting a bunch of money on a trip reservation I may not want to use.

A year ago my husband and I were suppose to travel throughout Asia together for 6 months. We started the trip and not even 3 weeks in I got sick. I started having panic attacks and we were forced to go back home. So our one in a life time trip was a bust. I've spent this year on trying to get healthy and he has been a tremendous support. But I know that he is sad about the trip. For me, it's not that big of a deal. I like traveling but he loves traveling. He used to backpack a lot in his younger days and I know he misses it. I know that he wants to do one last trip before he heads home and we start to think about having kids and moving to a bigger apartment. He is turning 30 in January. My gift to him is to go on a trip, without me. I think I would be in the way anyways and I'm still a little scared of flying. I know he wants to go to the Philippines and do some diving and hiking. Kind of let him do his trip and come home so we can start planning things for real. He deserves it and I tire of him being home looking at old pictures. I talked to some friends and they say I'm an idiot and that he will cheat and all that. Honestly, I might be naive but I have never once for a second had to worry about him cheating during our 6 year relationship. What do you think? How would you handle all of this?
