Well, maybe get in touch with an International Organization like the Red Cross and inquire with them, to what you can offer and what the family needs and how you can contribute to thier succesful adventure.\n\nI'm sure there has to be something, like Habitat for Humanity, or some such thing like that...\n\n\nJesse

One of the main things I would incorporate is to ensure that they are child friendly and family friendly. This immediately increases your target group and opens you tourism market.

Try talking to them, show them how much you realy love and respect them, and try to compromise. Your family, specially your dad and mom, will always love you, even if they sometimes dont show it due to your unobediance or stubbornness.

Follow your own spiritual path, but let them come to their own conclusions about their path. You can only be accountable for yourself. Just be the best for yourself you can. Be peaceful and try to live by example. Maybe your family will notice without needing to say anything.

Some WAHMs provide childcare for other families. Others take a different route - making and/or selling crafts, or setting up home presentations (cosmetics, jewelry, kitchen ware, etc.), or delivering catalogues and products, or similar paid work options. \n\nAll of the above are partial solutions. Money is coming in... \n\nBut you still have deadlines, or quotas to meet, or perhaps a boss to please. You still have the problem of a sick child ruining your plans for the coming week. You still have to leave the house, or have potential clients come to your home. \n\nSometimes coping with a part-time work commitment creates as much havoc as a full time job! \n\nThink about the many work-at-home-moms you know - and maybe you're one of them - who have tried one after another of these work-at-home opportunities ("biz opps") without success. It's dazing. \n\nWhy do those kinds of jobs fail? \n\nBecause that type of income generation does not work for most moms. It doesn't give them what they really want... \ntotal flexibility \na solid, growing, worthwhile income \na place to apply their knowledge, creativity and passion. \nThe pay-back for the time, effort, and disruption to family routines is just not there. \n\n\nSo Where Do You Go For The Right Answer?\nYou're there already... \n\nThe Internet. The Web. Online. \n\nIn fact, for many people, the Internet is a second home. It's the easiest, most flexible, and most convenient tool for finding information now. \n\nThink about your favorites or bookmarks. You probably have a huge list of sites (sorted, if you're lucky, into folders!) about gardening, news, holidays, recipes, shopping, Christmas, family health, games, tips, TV, finance or whatever else catches your fancy. \n\nAnd the reason you bookmarked those sites? They gave you useful information. \n\nNow think about all those other people out there on the Web. Who are they? \n\nMoms, dads... single parents, grannies... sporty types, couch potatoes... teachers, homeschoolers, music freaks, would-be chefs. They all seek the same thing. And that is, of course, quality, relevant information for their kids, gardens, home projects, hobbies, and the list goes on and on. \n\nSurfers love Web sites that reflect the owner's passion about a specific topic (i.e., painting, dogs, travel, scrapbooking, etc.) They are excited to find articles, advice, and ideas that respond to their needs or fuel their dreams. And when they discover a site that appeals to them, they will return frequently. \n\nYou too can become a sought-after communicator on the Net! \n\nWhat is your passion? What information, based on your experiences (life, education, employment), could you share? How could you help someone else? \n\nEverybody knows something about something. Identify it and then write about it! There are thousands and thousands of people who want to read about it - and spend money on it - now. \n\nMy site was created just like this.  A link to it is below.  I make money on my site and so far, I don't sell a thing.  That will come as my site continues to grow.\n\nBelieve me, if a 40 year old mother of two children can do it, you can, too.

Find your own success, and don't rely on thier success to carry you for anything, the best thing you can do for yourself is be independant.  Never rely on someone else to give you your happiness in whatever form that might be, and don't ever allow someone elses presense in your life be so controlling that you depend on them for your well being, not even your rich parents.

Write them a letter- preferably each parent separately. Tell them the things you appreciate about each one and how they have helped to turn you into the person you are today. This is something that they will keep and treasure forever. Other gifts are just 'things', but this comes from the heart of the child they created together and will mean more to them than you will ever know...

Well right or wrong on what you become and what you do with your life, family should be there not matter what! I'm going threw it right now. I met and married a wonderfull man, and family is distant from me cause they didnt agree with it. In time if they still dont like what you become, then tell them that your you and you will be what you want and they can be by your side or not, that if they choose not to be then its not stoping you from becomming what YOU want. I didnt let my parents bring me down cause i married a guy they didnt know. And im not giving up my husband for them. They can take me and him as whole or keep living there lifes without seeing there grandkids or future grandkids. But I know in time they will come around, as a matter of fact they have a little. Just be who YOU want to be dont let anyone bring you down or tell you do what they want. Be yourself and prove to them you can do what you want on your own. Good luck!

Humans have to be given the chance to excel. There are many contributing factors to this. Try looking into their socio-economic backgrounds - are their parents smart, did they provide love and support needed to excel, are they repeating the only thing they know and that is their family history? It's all about socialisation.

Family is huge!!  They are your backbones.  The protectors.  Something that you really need to keep up with.

Try to avoid leading questions...that make the family think you want them to answer a certain way. You want to make sure all families feel included in this activity. Maybe some fill in the blanks, that way it keeps it simple. \n\nIn December, our family celebrates ____________________. We like to eat _____________________ and play _________________ as part of the celebration. We share our celebration with these people: ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________. We help others celebrate  when we _____________________________. \nWe celebrate by giving each other _______________________ to show our love and joy. \n\nThere's a start for you. Have fun!

Because they want to protect you, and because they want the "best" for you. \n\nYou have to show you family that you can be responsible, sensible, take care of yourself, and be independent. Don't fight with them, as in most cases that'll lead to larger problems. Demonstrate to them that you're a smart, responsible, and mature person and assert that you are capable of making your own decisions in your own life.\n\nI also understand, that some families are very strict and/or very traditional in their heirarchies, however that doesn't leave you powerless to do anything. It may strain your relations with your family sometimes, but if you're adult about it you'll be fine.
