Talk about role reversals, they are being childish about this and your being cornered to being the parent of their situation.  In your daughters situation I would simply say you are both welcomed to visit when ever your available, if you don't want to be around when they other is then you settle that between yourselves, your both adults!  As for other arrangements that require you to schedule time for each because they no longer live together...that will have to be dealt with on a individual basis or for the holidays ...birthdays...have the festivities at your place and welcome both...that gives them equal opportunity to spend time with you and your daughter...not to mention being a family for family sake.

It is okay not to like everything in your love ones lives. This is what makes us unique. Just remember to use good manners and not show loud and rude behavior during the family game watching time. \n\nGood luck and I hope you and your family find something that you can all share in and equally love.

I'm 40 and I have the same problem with some of my family.  Wish I had an answer for you.  Sometimes I get the feeling that the people in my life really don't think I can do anything right.  At least their actions say so.  I usually ignore their stupid remarks and go about things my own way.  If the remarks really get to me, I'll just plain tell them that I know what I'm doing.  Usually works too.

Wow, I hope this isn't real. But, Something tells me it is... Answer? GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! There is a whole world out there that doesn't involve ANY of your family members....Grow up and get out. And NO!! This is not your fault!!

Wow,,, that does sound pretty disgusting the way you worded it.  It often appears that the mother in law and daughter always seem to have competition going on.  I am not really sure why and it getting rather old.  You and this quy have been together 20 plus years and there is still tension between the 2 women he so obviously adores.  Being a woman you know how to add fuel to the fire or put out the flames...Try taking the higher road and leave it be.  I have another tool you could use as well... It is called PRAYER... the most powerful tool out here.  God sees all that is going on and He knows how you feel about it.  He also knows how your husband feels as well.  Can you imagine how excited he will be to see his 2 favorite girls interacting without foolishness.  Pray about it and leave it be...

There comes a time where you just have to tell the family to piss off. This is probably one of those times. Drama loving families will do whatever they can to start crap, and if they don't like someone you date they'll most likely let you and her know it. You just can't play their game. You might give them a chance to be nice to your new girlfriend. If they aren't at least polite to her, tell them you won't be spending time with them anymore until they can grow up. When it comes down to it, it's important that YOU are happy. Not your family. I know everybody wants their family to be happy. But seriously, you can only please one person, and that's yourself. If it'd make you happy to be with this woman, then by all means do it. Don't allow your family to screw up your good times with her. Good luck. :)

Stop going to family events ... when they ask "why" you aren't or weren't there ... tell them you didnt' have the energy for their drama ...

There is jealousy everywhere.  I think everyone deals with it at one point or another.  It's pretty immature, and people who threaten or do harm of any sort have very low self esteem and have to bring others down so it will make them feel better.  It's very sad what someone will do to shift any attention to them.  Just stay away from those types of people.  Do not react at all, because thats what keeps them going.  Do not give them the satisfaction of seeing you scared or angry at what they are doing.  That is exactly the reaction they are screaming for because thats the only attention they can get.  LOSERS!!!!

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

Your not the only one with a jealous and selfish parent. It's not right for her to make you insecure like that. But remember that you know your man better. Maybe your mother has been hurt alot by men so she is trying to protect you from that heartbreak. Talk with her and say you appreciate the concern but you have to live your own life. The lucky thing is that us women have a deep intuition. So listen to your heart at all times....even when your mind is playing tricks on you.

You are jealous of their relationship and you have no reason to she is his sister, you are his girlfriend. He loves his sister and hopefully he loves you(I can't really say for sure, I don't know you all) but if you force a division between them in any way he will resent you for it.

Just be honest, sit them down and explain your feelings.  Expect them to be upset at first, don't take this as insulting they need time to adjust.  Thier anger may seem selfish to you, but it is not, they just saw their future change too.  There ia alot of support groups for both you and your family. A google search should bring some up.  Good luck, and I'm very happy that you have made this brave choice.

I know my parents love me and my two siblings equally. Being the eldest, i guess they were fond of me a 'bit' more..ofcourse i dont question them. When i was a kid i used to feel awkward at the thought of my mom and dad sharing their love with this little sister i had..but now over the years, i have realised that it is very very difficult for parents to differentiate between children they have made..who came from them..\n\nBut i do often use it as an excuse to get their attention sometimes..that she loves my sis and my bro more than me (and ofcourse i know that isnt true)..

you are 16 and he is 13...you are still both babies but your sister and friends are jealous.  why can't they be happy for you?  you know your boyfriend's boys are high fiving him every time they see you with him...ignore what other people say and get used to it, it doesn't stop when you get older, believe me.

If you would like to known as 'the skank', by his family, go for it.  Consider this, sometimes things are not as they seem, could you possibly imagine that this family member's aim is only to use you and throw you away like a used rag? After that you'd be scorned by him, your boyfriend of 2 months, his family and to boot, they'd still be family and closer than ever.  Why?  Because he proved to your boyfriend' that you were no good.
