| Question: I have jealous family members, why? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 01:11 PM PDT Both of my parents have many siblings. And I'll admit that they didn't have glamorous lives growing up. But they're doing okay now. I didn't have a glamorous life either as a kid. I grew up in bad areas and went to not so great schools, but now I'm doing okay and I'm in medical school. But instead of being happy for me, some of my uncles and aunts seem bitter about it. When my parents and my uncles/aunts get together, everyone will talk about their children's success. When it's my parents turn to talk about my success, my aunts and uncles will sneer or look at me like "She thinks she's so great..." I don't understand why. One of my uncles even goes out of his way to compare his 10 year old daughter to me. My mom was telling him about how I got into a kickboxing club and instead of saying "That's great, I'm happy for her" he said "Well my daughter got on the basketball team and won a trophy just recently" These people are about 20 years older than me, they're adults. Why do they act like children? |
| Question: What I can my family do about my brother? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:57 PM PDT My brother is a senior in high school. Since he is graduating my mom has told me and my sisters that if he doesn't get a job she won't be supporting him anymore. He didn't apply for colleges and my mom is upset about that. Not only does he not have a job and not apply to colleges but he plays video games all day long. We have a desk top Apple computer in my room and he plays mine craft and league of legends there until late at night. He also has a PS3. He's had one job before but he quit because he said that his co-workers didn't do anything right and he just didn't like it, but what he doesn't realize is that in order for him to work with people who know what they're doing he has to go to college especially if he wants to tell them what to do. My family is in a tough situation as well and he just plays video games all the time. If he's not playing video games he's on his phone or watching tv or is with his girlfriend. I need to know what to do and what to tell him to change his ways. I'm his little sister by the way. |
| Question: My parents keep fighting? my dad changed? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:54 PM PDT my parents rarely ever fight. if they do, they get over it in a day or two. but lately, theyve been fighting for 3 weeks over the same thing. theres a lot of awkwardness between them when theyre not fighting, they dont talk as much as they did before. its actually terrifying since this has never happened before. i do believe its my dads fault... hes changed a LOT. hes become very bossy & too overprotective. even his employers say hes bossy & domineering. hes ignorant; if you tell him something, he doesnt look at you/show any interest. if you tell him something youve already told him before and state that you told him the other day, he ALWAYS (not even exaggerating) says "no you didnt." he shows no faith in me and he doesnt trust me as much he should. i believe he should have trust in me bc im a good kid, im 17, dont party/drink/smoke, my average gpa is 3.8, i do what im told, ive never got in serious trouble, etc. my mom hates how he treats me and how he treats her. she told me hes put her down too many times and she doesnt want to live in this house anymore. she said she feels as if none of us are good for him except my brother; my brother and dad never fight. she said she doesnt feel like he trusts her (never has she said any of that before and its heartbreaking). everytime they fight, my mom explains herself and i can hear it all; my dad raises his voice and my mom talks calmly up until he raises his voice. he walks away from the arguement + more. idk what to do? |
| Question: Why is my brother so serious all the time? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:43 PM PDT So despite being twins, my brother and I are polar opposites. I'm always smiling, joking around and having fun but he's the opposite. He never smiles, speaks in very short and robotic sentences and actually tries to stop himself from laughing. It's kind of depressing and down right annoying to be around some who never smiles, never laughs and is just serious 24/7. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:34 PM PDT plz be honest!!! |
| Question: My step dad is continuing to ignore me? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:33 PM PDT What happen was I was looking for something and he always does this thing if he knows were something is or even to make a point he will say "how much do you want to make a bet." And I absolutely hate when he does that because it makes me feel like he thinks he is better then me and he and I have very bad blood with eachother. Anyways though I don't even no why I said it but I said then why are you going through my stuff!! Afterwards I say if you know where it is then tell me and stop being an ***. I didnt mean to say it but my step dad tends to make of me and there are many occasions he's made me feel bad about myself (I feel it passive aggressive attitude towards my mom and the fact I'm not his kid). Although I know he expects me to apologize to him but I don't want him to feel some power over me because he's hurt me a lot and I truth I hate him but I don't know what to do! I mean I can easily get over the fact he's ignoring me but my mom and my dad said I should apologize but I can let him feel like he's always right! What should I do?? |
| Question: Got into a physical fight with my mom help?! Long story but I need advice? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:22 PM PDT We always argue, especially because its just me & her. This past week I have been planning to go to a school dance & my mom always nags me about how I need to be more social, make more friends, go to dances etc. She's been using my wanting to go to the dance as a way to make me do things. "If you don't get your grade up in geometry by the end of the day, you're not going to the dance"(it's impossible to raise it in a day & I have all As and Bs ). "If you don't do PE today you aren't going to the dance"(I've been sick and out for weeks cuz my doctor says so). I bought my ticket & last night we went shopping for it. When we got home it was late & at 10 pm she told me to go dump the litter box because it was "bothering her nose" I said it's late, almost my bedtime & its dark & cold outside, can't I just do it tomorrow? She said no if you don't do it now you aren't going to the dance. Its not even my chore so I didn't do it. She had all week to dump it but she didn't want to. She called me stupid & I said "takes one to know one" & she got pissed off even though it's the exact thing she said to me. So when I woke up this morning she told me I'm not going. We started arguing & she went down the hall. I followed her. I was in the doorway & she tried shutting it so I held it Cuz I was there so she pulled me by the hair & hit me. I hit her back out of self defense & I walked out her room & slammed the door. This has happened before. I was wrong hitting her but wasn't she as well? |
| Question: My sister is THE drama queen but I'm still the one whom my family blames? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:22 PM PDT My sister & I had a big spat around 2 months ago, & now she decides to move to Canada to avoid me! Anyone thinks this is way over the top? My dad called for a family council ystd. & she said it's impossible for her to live near me now that she wants to raise a family! And guess who is blamed for this. I'm not saying that it's not partly my fault, but everything is blown out of proportion! I've said sorry many times, gave her space, & still I'm not re-invited to her wedding in May (although it's only signing in the town hall). She still doesn't want to talk ("there's nothing more to be said" except that she doesn't want me around her kids when the time comes). I'm only 16. And my fault is that I told my family when I accidentally found out that her fiance was raped by his (now-deceased) uncle 10 years ago. I admit (to her as well) I did that b/c I resented the way she ignored me since she moved in with her fiance. I know this is childish but I was also disappointed that she decided only for a civil wedding (for some years I was promised that I was going to be her chief bridesmaid). And I was jealous by the way my parents & siblings fuss over her b/c she's so perfect (she's an architect while I'm not good at school). My parents, brother & sister still like her fiance despite knowing what happened (more than they love me) so I can't see why this has to be like this. My parents even "understand" although my sis's going to abandon her family & career in NYC (she wants to be a full-time housewife for some time after her wedding and imminent move to Canada). It's like as if my sis can't make a wrong decision in their eyes. Maybe her fiance is behind this (my sis said it's HER wish but it's so unbelievable) but they don't blame him neither (in my dad's eyes notably, he's the perfect son-in-law; he's so smart etc. etc. etc.). I can't see how he's perfect if he's removing my sis from us (& he's actually so unsociable), but it's MY fault of course. I'm not the one who decides for the move. I'm so desperate I want to harm myself. Please give me your opinion! P.S. Her fiance is Canadian, but before he has said that they planned to settle in NYC where they both work (that is, near us, who live in New Jersey). |
| Question: My dad took my moms car on Wednesday? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:07 PM PDT It started when my mom told him to leave because he recently moved out and my mom thinks he shouldnt overstay his welcome (especially if it was his choice to move out) he said he wanted to move back in but all my parents do is argue when together, so my mom said no. Me and my dad absolutely do not get along! So he came out of my mom's room and asked did i want to ride with him , Knowing i would not go with him. To cut to the chase, he left using my moms cars and we having seen him since Wednesday. He has a drug history and also has a history of taking our car for long periods of time. Im sick of it and im tired of my mom letting him get away with it. He also took my phone and my sister told me he is going to trade it for drugs. What should i do? We cant report it stolen because the car is under my grandmotherS Name , |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 12:00 PM PDT . My son only gives me a place to live, every time I ask him for a few $ he bitches. When I was doing better he got $$$ from me for dentist, tax tag and title and help with closing costs. I am only 55 so no widow benefits for 5 years and I sold our car for my late husbands final expenses. I recently asked for $5 for cat food & litter. He complained and never did. I feed his pit bull nearly everyday and the dog bit me in January and he did not even have his rabies shot. My hand had deep puncture wounds, I am beginning to have really hard feeling about my son and have decided to sell most of my belongings and hit the road. I do babysit often and am tired of his behavior, I am pretty sure on my part I am done with him. |
| Question: Why do i still love my dad? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:58 AM PDT my whole life all he ever did was make me cry, and mentally abuse me. for my birthday this year all he gave me was a picture of himself. (my parents divorced last year, i live with my mom) and whenever i look at the picture...i just cry. i feel like he robbed me of my childhood. he never let me out of the house. he always criticized me on whatever i ate, even if it was a salad. he screamed all the time. embarrassed me. constantly called me fat. forced me to run on a treadmill for hours. he never gave me any reason to feel the slightest bit of love for him, but when i look at the picture, a small part of me wants to love him. why? |
| Question: Was this ok for my dad to do? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:50 AM PDT so, i went over to my friends house to sleep over (oh, im 14 btw) and while im at my friends house i get a call from my dad. right as i answer, he stars screaming and yelling at me. before he even told me what i did wrong i started crying. he screamed at me louder because of this, he told me if i dont stop crying he will give me something to cry about. (yes, he is black, but im mixed black and white.) so i asked him whats wrong and he said he found a fresh banana peel sitting on my dresser. and he starts calling me fat. while on the phone with me, he starts to drive back to my friends house to take me home. on the way home he tells me how ill never be loved if i eat so much,and that i look fat and im a pig. were his actions justifiable? all i did was eat a banana. |
| Question: How can I help my little sister? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:49 AM PDT My little sister is 6 years old and she has some kind of anxiety disorder or something. For the past year shes been keeping her teddy bear, and favorite toys in my mom's safe, and now she's asking for a fire proof box for her birthday. She doesn't even use her teddy or anything. It just sits in the box and she says she loves it too much to take it out. She says if the house ever burns down, she'd be devastated that her teddy and blanky burned down with it. What the heck is happening? She won't even listen when I try to talk with her about it. I try to rationalize with her and reassure her telling her I don't know anyone whose house has burned down, and that it'll never happen. She just gets mad and ignores me. Idk what to do. I don't want her to grow up with her toys in a fireproof box. How can I help her with this anxiety? Btw, no one in our family has had a house fire. Not even any of our friends. Though our dad is a fireman, he doesn't say any stories or anything in front of her. He actually tries to rationalize with her too but she won't even listen to him as a fireman |
| Question: Do you believe in evolution vs creationism? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:48 AM PDT which one do you believe in? And can I get some reasons why you belive in the one you do? Thank you |
| Question: I am so pissed right now!? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:41 AM PDT First off, I am on my period that is one of the many reasons I am pissed. I had a bad day at school yesterday, one of my old crush's friends wanted to know if I still like my old crush( I stopped liking him a while back) and it is irratatung me, something dramatic happened back when I still liked him and his closest friend lied to me, my old crush told him to tell me he just wants to be friends, but my old Crush's friend told me that my old crush wants me to ask him out.I asked him out and it turned out it was a huge lie and I found out his friend was lying to me. I have to sit by them in English now and I am so irritated and we can't change our seats in english. One of my friends is annoying me, she is being very clingy and such and I am trying to ignored her but she does not get the message. On too of that I am getting annoyed at my parents, I want to lose weight and I told them that and they are just telling me What to do, I know what to do and they are not helping. Everytime I get angry ( which rarely happens) they tell me not to get mad but when they are mad i am not supposed to tell them anything. My two brothers are annoying me, they say I am spoiled when I get the least in my family. My mom doesn't understand anything. |
| Question: Is it right to adopt kids for money? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:41 AM PDT I wanted to know because someone wants my help in trying to get a couple of kids. she really don't like them and I doubt she loves them. |
| Question: Will my parents still get mad at me? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:30 AM PDT So, I asked my dad if I could order this thing and he said later, but he left to go to work and I went ahead on my dad's computer without him knowing and ordered this item that costed $47.99 because it was the last one available on ebay and was the cheapest one I could find out of all websites. |
| Question: Is this a form if child abuse? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:29 AM PDT My brother in law (who had a baby with my sister) has been staying over the house for a while. Last night I could not go to sleep, so I was upstairs on my computer. Downstairs, the baby had been crying for 20 minutes so I checked on him. When I checked, my sister and brother in law were in a deep deep sleep, and the baby was crying, because he was locked in a position in my brother in law's arms. I had to shake my brother in law ten him for him to wake up, and when he did, the baby stopped crying. The next night, it happened again, but worse. The baby was screaming and crying for help. So I went to check, and once again, they were in a deep deep sleep. Only this time, they were completely passed out in each other's arms, while the baby was on the left side of the couch, crying, and crying and crying. They were in a sleep so deep, that I had to punch my brother in law in the arm to wake him up. My mom went to see what was going on. I told her, and she was furious, calling the incident "borderline child abuse". |
| Question: Family business problems-should I quit? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:21 AM PDT I work with my mom and my aunt(her sister). They are my bosses. On Monday they fired my supervisor because she was cutting corners, being lazy and losing the company a lot of money. Nor my mom or my aunt discussed this with me before they fired my supervisor. What they didn't know is that my supervisor didn't have me nor my coworker fully trained. When I started there last May she didn't not allocate a lot of work to me because she thought it would be easier if she would just do it then to teach me how. Fast forward to this month she was up to her eyeballs in work and it was too stressful at that point to teach me how to do the tasks she was supposed to show me from the beginning. Now she's gone and all those duties she never showed me PLUS hers are on my desk. It was assumed by my aunt and mom that I can do all of it. I explained to them that I don't know a lot of it and they are like oh crap. They have been emailing my now former supervisor for her to explain how to do things. It's ridiculous! My aunt and mom gave me permission to stay late and get overtime but that is not enought to me! Time nor compensation! I didn't even get a 90 day review back in August. My mom said my aunt will do they review this week, but my mom and aunt are both natorious for saying things they don't do. I'm so stressed and want to cry. I really should be at the office today working, but it's the weekend and i need a g damn break! |
| Question: If I goto college would I be able to move out of my mother's house quicker? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:20 AM PDT I been wanting to goto college but that aside my mother has been getting upset with almost everything I ask her all I ask her is Can I goto the store or Can I go to this place because she won't let me get my driver's license's she keep's telling me to take a class and I can't pay for it and no one will hire me right now.She also been telling me I'm gonna sign up for disable job program's even though I don't wanna do that. I am also 19 year's old so before you say your a legal adult I know that I tried telling her but she gets mad and upset when ever I try to do something on my own she even has to walk me in the back of the doctors office and drive me to the barber shop and walk me in to get my hair cut and she keeps buying me ugly clothes I don't like and refuses to let me goto the store myself to pick out my clothes so I'm desperate on moving out if I focus on college and get a dorm would I be able to move out of my mother's house quickly? |
| Question: Is it fair that the oldest get their own room? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:20 AM PDT Did this happen in your family? My brother (17) has had his own room forever. While, I, an almost 15 year old is still sharing a room with my 11 year old brother since I was in the 4th grade. He won't be off to college until next year though. I guess I'll have to wait until then. I don't think it's fair that I have to wait 16 years to get my own room while he has had his own since he was born but whatever. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:17 AM PDT I grew up in a town of less than 1000 people, and moved to a small city in my state shortly after I turned 18. This was met with a LOT of hesitance then, but still was "okay" according to my immediate and extend family's views because it was in-state. Now that I'm moving to one of the largest cities in the country, my whole family is having a heart attack essentially. It's in the same region, so visiting won't be a problem. What I'm having a hell of a time dealing with is their unexposed, small town minds. It's a form of ignorance. And with Easter coming up, I know I'm going to be one of the focuses of attention (because older family members always want to live vicariously through their grandchildren) and I don't feel comfortable really talking about my decision aside from "it's to take a job". The reason for this is because we are on such different wavelengths in terms of how we see the world. It's just something I can't see eye-to-eye with them on, but I don't want to be rude and keep trying to deflect the conversation outwards to someone else. How should I deal with this? It's very hard for me "to come home" sometimes with such a different view on the world and with this move it causes tension in my family There is also a lot of gossip occurring behind my back that I don't appreciate, which is another reason I feel inclined to be vague about it and move on to a different topic |
| Question: Being kicked out of my house. Please help? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:17 AM PDT Im 19 with no job and no car. I just got done with air force basic training but im in the reserves.

| Question: My mom thinks I like my dad more than her? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:16 AM PDT I'm a 17 year old guy. She brought this up a few days ago and I made a joke about how I hate both of them. But just a joke, obviously, I love them both. She knew it was a joke and laughed but a few days later I wanted to hang out with a friend of mine and she didn't want me to for certain reasons. My dad on the other hand didn't mind and she wanted my dad to agree with her to discipline me or something. They have this argument about how my dad doesn't care about "raising" and all he cares about is getting "points" to make me "like him more than my mom". I love my mom and my dad. But their pettiness and immaturity really pisses me off. I can't believe my mom would be worried about such a silly thing and I know that's not what my dad is doing. I don't know how to handle this situation. They fight every day, and they have since I was a kid. They yell at each other in the morning, when he comes back from work, they yell at each other at 3 am. They fight about everything and it's gotten to a point when I just WANT them to get divorced already. I can't take this anymore, they hate each other and they shouldn't be staying together miserably on my account. |

| Question: How do I deal with my selfish, controlling younger brother? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 11:10 AM PDT My brother and I are only 15 months apart, and he never used to be this selfish and angry all the time. Last year over the summer, my brother became short tempered and downright lazy. During the summer we had moved, but he seemed pretty happy to be moving. In the middle of summer, he would stay up all night and sleep all day, and he gained a lot of weight (he now weighs more than I do). He eventually started throwing temper tantrums to go where he wanted, when he wanted and started being extremely disrespectful to my mother. His behavior has continued to be this way for a long time, and it has gotten to the point where I now hate him and never want to be around him. I am not an adult, I just turned 13, and my brother 11 |

| Question: My parents are arguing, help.? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:48 AM PDT My parents had an argument, but the argument is irrelevant. Now they are just really angry and are shouting at each other. What should I do? |
| Question: Will my parents get mad at me? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:30 AM PDT So, I went on my dad's computer and ordered this thing that costed $47.99 because it was the last one available on ebay and was the cheapest one I could find out of all websites. |
| Question: What freedoms should i have as a 17 year old, turning 18 in months? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:24 AM PDT So, I Dont have much freedom as a 17 year old. I Dont know what freedoms I should have though. I'm not aloud to have sex, if I hang out with my bf its for a few hours when she says its okay, and I can't see him everyday. Sometimes not every other day either. She only really let's me go out if I bribe her with something or make a deal with her. And if I spend the night it has to be with a friend she approves off. She's very nosey. And is always going through my room trying to find stuff to get mad at me for. I'm aloud to do a lot of things like, curse, but that isn't something grand, you know? Cursing is cursing. I'm aloud to have a boyfriend, but again, anything I do has to be on her time, when its convenient to her, and if she's in the mood to say yes or not. Am I being too much of a complainer? |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:21 AM PDT Okay so I have to turn my application into to the actual place to get my permit, because I wasn't able to turn in my application to my teacher. But the place closes at 5 on weekdays & at noon on Saturday. My mom works on weekdays & gets off at 5 so I can't do it on weekdays. But when I try to do it on Saturdays she comes up with some stupid excuse of how she's busy & can't do it. then she gets a call from one of the drivers Ed teachers saying that Im gonna start behind the wheel in April & it's the middle of March right now. And now I'm starting to freak out because I haven't even drove nor have I gotten my permit. Then when I told my mom that I have to get my permit immediately she just says "I'm gonna get it just wait, you have all the time to do it." But it pisses me off because she always waits until the last minute to do stuff. And I keep asking her how am I gonna learn how to drive if I don't have my permit. But she keeps saying "I'll do it next Saturday" Its been since February that I've been waiting for her to take me up there because I have to have a parent with me to get it. I just don't know what to do because I have behind the wheel in less than a month & have no driving experience what so ever. P.S. I'm 15 years old |
| Question: Relative Keeps Using Me? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:20 AM PDT Something bad had happened to me a couple of nights ago, and I was inconsolable. I was hyperventilating and I think having a panic attack too. I had asked him if I could come to his place until I calmed down. My relative had told me once I had, that we should go get dinner and he wanted to pick up his wallet from his parents house. He had told me that he'd take me out to dinner, to make the night a little better. Once we had dinner, and the check came, he said let's split it. I was pissed, but agreed to split it with him. Only a couple days later, today did I notice I was changed for the entire dinner, and he knew I was drunk and wouldn't notice. This now makes five dinners I've paid for, with him acting as though he'd pay them or at the least a portion of the bills. My relative did pay for maybe four drinks for both of us after dinner, at a hotel bar, but I still paid more I'm sure. I'm going to send him a text and say something like "Hey I was looking through my receipts and noticed that I was charged for the bill. I thought we had agreed to split?". Although, I'm sure he's just going to deny it (since he thinks I won't remember, since I was drunk) and tell me that I had agreed to pay for it, and he'd get the next one, or something like that. I had called the restaurant and asked them to confirm that we had agreed to split, to have something to counter with, when, not if he says I agreed to pay for it all. But the waitress isn't coming in, until tomorrow evening. It's not like he's poor by any means, not that I care, but his parents are very well off and could easily afford a few small dinners, he has their credit card. How should I handle this with my relative? |

| Question: My mom will not let me see my brothers :(? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:11 AM PDT I am 15 years old. And I want to have a relationship with my brothers. But my mom and Nanny are trying to stop me from seeing them. My mom says she has custody over me so she can do whatever she wants. Is this fair? She says they are bad so I can t be around them. She has been doing this off and on my whole life. She will get in a fight with my dad and take it out against me and make it where I can t see my family. Is this fair? Can I do anything about this? |
| Question: How to ask my parents to bring my friend on holiday? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:05 AM PDT In the summer my family and I are going to Italy for a week and I only have one brother who's a lot older, and doesn't enjoy doing the same things as me usually. I would really like to ask my parents if my best friend, whom my family know well, can come along on the vacation. I don't think money would be an issue for either my family or theirs as the only thing aside from food/shopping money her family would need to pay for would be flights (reasonably cheap) because there is already extra space where we're going. How should I ask/try to convince my parents? We are both 14 year old girls by the way. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:00 AM PDT I don't even know how to start this question, but for a while I have felt really guilty about having nice things. For example, my dad bought me a computer for the 7th grade. And thats what I'm typing on right now. And I feel terrible about having it! I also have a phone that I share with my little sister, and a kindle that we also share. And I go to a school that cost a lot of money each year, and I feel o terrible about it! This feeling gets even more intense around the holidays when all my family is around. They are all so generous and give my sisters and I gifts...and it makes me sad to think that not everybody has that. I'm not just talking about objects, a family who loves me unconditionally, a great school, a dog...Whenever I see something that I have it makes me sad and I start feeling terribly spoiled. Am I spoiled brat? Thank you to all who answer, and I'm sorry if I was being arrogant I didn't mean to sound that way. |
| Question: Do your parents knock before entering your room? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PDT I don't have a lock in my room and my parents constantly slam open the door without knocking first and sometimes I'm changing! I try to change in the bathroom but they still know how to pick the lock to get what they need from the bathroom (thanks to my brother) and I constantly change behind the door so if they try to open the door i force it closed and scream IM CHANGING However, sometimes my mom still forces the door open like no big deal and tell me to do something (like she asks me if I took her top and searches my room) It's beginning to piss me off a lot because even when my mom sees me topless she still acts like its nothing and she tends to slap my butt a lot or jab me on the stomach and laugh because apparently I look strange?? (I used to be chubby and recently I've lost enough weight to have a flat stomach and somewhat of a behind and my mom finds that hilarious -__-) This sounds really perverted but really, I know my parents very well and they arn't creepy. They're just comfortable with their children (me and my brother) but sometimes I need to remind them I'm not 6 years old anymore and that I need my own privacy. Do your parents knock before entering your room? |
| Question: My daughter's father blocked me from my daughter's instagram ... but WHY? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:50 AM PDT Ok so im on instagram and I try to tag my daughter in something. But it's not working. So I go to her page and it says she is private. I try to follow her and I can't because I'm blocked.. well she told me that her dad kept her phone at his house because she got in trouble over there ( we r no longer together, he lives with his fiance and I live alone w/ my kids and hes in charge of her phone because he bought it) so I ask her why she blocked me. She said she didn't. So now I'm realizing that since he has her phone he was probably looking through my pictures through her account. But then I realized he blocked me.. so I asked him why he did that and he said it was an accident.. well he was obviously on my page looking.. do you believe him.. my question is why? |
| Question: Why is my dad more strict and punishing than my mom? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:47 AM PDT I'm 15 years old and my whole life my father has been much harder on me than my mother. If I bring home a poor grade my mother would respond by saying "do better next time" and ask my teacher if I can see him after school for extra help. When my father finds out about a poor grade, he will punish me by not letting me leave the house, use any electronics, and to study a lot more. NOTE: My father was born and raised in Poland while my mother is American. My father attended NYU and my mother attended Dickinson University. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:35 AM PDT So for 2 years now I have been watching my 11 year old sister in law for free nothing in return and I don't like doing it anymore my husband said just not do it but he don't understand it's hard to say no and this year I have made a goal to say no. So my mother in law got me a job where she works she is my assistant manger and she has it fixed to where she calls me at 7am to watch her kid to 3pm where she gets off work than I go in at 3pm to 11pm at night and she don't understand I get tired to. She thinks it's ok for me to watch her Monday-Friday and it's not how do I stop caring if she gets me fired? I just feel like I have no time for me or my husband with always watching her. I don't know why she dosnt see that. I am 23 and my husband is 22 she makes me feel like I don't need a life. I wanna spend time with my mom to and she makes it hard because she thinks I have to watch her kid for her. She never calls unless she wants something or for me to watch her kid in just so sick of it she makes me depressed I feel so stressed because of her and I am wanting to start a family of my own. |
| Question: Punishment for someone who stole Money.? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:31 AM PDT My brother is 15 and he stole 500 dollars from my mom to spend on his girlfriend (It's her birthday today) so my mom asked me what punishment he should get. It's really annoyed me how she called me and my little brother liars, even though we had nothing to do with it. The last time something like this happened my brother and my mom had a fight and I ran away from home. I'm really scared incase seething worse happens. |
| Question: My dad wants me to buy my own clothes? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:23 AM PDT Ok so here's the story, I'm 13 years old and I get 10$ a week for doing the dishes every day, doing laundry, and watching my sister for an hour a day. My dad is very forgetful and he usually ends up owing me like 40$, and then when I ask him for it he says "how come I owe you that much?" and gets mad. today he gave me the money he owes me (-10$ of corse) and says he wants me to buy my own clothes from now on! Considering I only get 30$/40$ a month how am I supposed to buy quality clothes for myself? I won't be able to save up my money in my bank account or get things I like! Should I ask him for something more reasonable like 15/20$ a week? Please no mean answers I'm not a spoiled brat! |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:17 AM PDT She claims she loves me like her own child but she has kept me away from my birth dad for years but she pushes me to have a relationship with my birth mother. There's time she gets me and tells me to die or tell me I'm dumb stupid fat and all these things and it hurts. She's even told me my parents didn't care about me that's why they gave me up. It was my step brothers birthday and he was having a party and my step mom told me to ask her can I go and she said no I'm not suppose to put anyone before my mother ( I grew up calling her mommy) but her birth child does it all the time. I just can't take it anymore. I feel as if I need to move out as soon as possible before I self destruct dealing with this foolishness. I've stressed about this even tried to kill myself. I'm very unhappy and all I do is cry. I need some advice. Comment below or email me at Radrica8@gmail.com |
| Question: My mom hurts me.. (long but I need help)? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:12 AM PDT I'm 16 and my mom is known as crazy. All my relatives always talk bad about her behind her back. Every sports team I've ever been on she's been the crazy mom that complains and gets us kicked off. She calls me lazy even though I get decent grades and I do a really hard sport six times a week for two and half hours after school I have my own cat who I take care of. I just don't understand. I help her around the house but she's constantly making me do something for her. Every time I want to go to sleep. (I go to bed at 9:00 every night) she wakes me up and asks me to make her food because she's had a rough day... It's just rude. I can't take much of her. She says I'm irresponsible but I work so hard on being the best I can be ! I never argue with her but she continues to belittle me. When I go to my room to cry she calls me immature. If I talk about my feelings to her she tells me I'm over emotional .. I tried killing myself and ended up in the hospital and she told the psychiatrist that she didn't care about me and that Im not really depressed. They tried to get child services involved but I avised against it because I can't leave my little sister behind.. she pshycially abuses her and calls her fat when she's not!! idk what to do.. she hasn't hit me ever since I punched her in the face but she used to tie my hands behind my back when I was kid and kicked me with her shoes on. I was so young and it really emotionally destroyed me as I felt so alone not having a mother. |
| Question: Is this being taken advantage or molestation? Please help.? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:08 AM PDT Hello. Today is the first time in my entire life that I have said anything about this subject matter. I'll get straight to the point... I've been molested by three of my family members at an extremely young age. My brother, sister, and aunt. This has completely ruined my childhood, and I have yet to live a normal teenage life ( I'm 16 years old). When I was 4 my aunt asked me to touch her, I had no clue to as of what it is I was doing, I was told to go in the closet with her, and she started touching me and would ask me to touch her. I did, of course, I had no idea what I was doing, I was no confused, and now feel taken advantage of. When I was about 5 my sister started to do the same thing. She locked me in her room and would FORCE me to play barbies with her. I had one very vivid memory of her putting my hand on her vagina, again I was young and had no idea what I was going. The worst of this came when I was just starting 3rd grade, and had just gotten out of a woman's abuse homeless shelter with my mom, sister and brother; things were looking great for me. We were living in ghetto town houses, but it was a new start (I'm crying right now, sorry for the weak-written description), but my very own brother. The guy I looked up too and wanted to be like the most started experimenting with me. At this point I desperately didn't want to do it, but I always gave in, being the ultra-submissive individual I was made into. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:05 AM PDT His was a serious offense. I am a teacher so maybe thats part of the problem, but he was a married teacher who hit on numerous teenagers, young as 13 or 14 I believe. He reoffended even after lost his wife, his job, and his teaching license. I think he brainwashed and lied to my niece and convinced her he "changed" after she bought him to my husband 50th bday party abd didnt tell anyone. All my husband friend and family andvtheir little kids there. She trying to say it was ok |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 09:02 AM PDT She says dont smoke...but she smokes through a pack of cigarettes per week. She says dont drink... but gulfs down brandy, beer. etc everyday and claims its because shes had a hard day at work She says bring home a respectful guy with a good quality education and career .... but my step dad is a drug dealer ... he's 37. My step dad says stay in school... but he dropped out when he was 17... and now he sells drugs. My brother says dont smoke weed... but his entire college dorm reeks of it... Wtf is wrong with people. Is it wrong that I have the mind set of "If you aren't living by example you cant tell me ****!" |
| Question: My stepsister keeps accusing me of stealing her stuff? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:58 AM PDT Two weeks ago my stepsisters and my headphones got mixed up hers were on top of my bag so I assumed they were mine so I used them, but then we realized they were not mine. Now she's accusing of stealing things like her shirt and she's throwing a fit and when I told her I got the shirt from my home with my mom she was like "remember the headphones" |
| Question: Why should send out high school graduation invitations? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:46 AM PDT So I'm going to graduate this May and my parents are making a huge deal about ordering graduation invitations and getting them sent out on time. I'm pretty sure only my grandparents will be attending since we live in a different state than the family, so I don't want to send them to all of my extended family. My dad says that the point is that they'll feel guilty about not going and send a graduation gift of some money. I'm be attending college on almost a full ride scholarship and whatever isn't covered my grandfather will pay for. I don't want to unnecessary guilt people into giving me money, even if it's a gift. I don't need it. My mom says that graduating is a huge deal but I don't agree. It's not like it was 20 years ago, pretty much everyone graduates now. There are very few dropouts where I live. So why is graduating a huge deal and why should invitations matter so much? To me, graduating is just the step towards college. I won't be out of school for another 4 years. -.- |
| Question: Is it possible I'm not actually my parents child? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:42 AM PDT I'm not saying I hate my parents and wish I was adopted or anything of that sort when I ask this question. I'm just curious because I don't look like anyone in my family. I'm short and everyone else is tall. I have blonde hair everyone else is brunette. Someone said that doing well in school usually comes from your parents and while they were good in school I'm struggling. I've never looked like anyone in my family or felt like I belong in my family so I'm just curious. We always joke about me not being theirs but I kinda wonder if there's any truth behind it. I love them I really do. I just wish I could have some answers about why I feel this way. |

| Question: Should my daughter be teasing my son like this? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:29 AM PDT I have a teenage son John and a teenage daughter Lisa. They are good kids and get along good well with each other. They just like to have fun especially with each other. One night at the dinner table Lisa ask me if she could get some balloons like John had. John said "What are you talking about? I don't have any balloons." Lisa said "I saw them in your desk drawer". "They are Trojan brand balloons". OH MY GOD, am I going to have to have the "talk" with Lisa again. But what she said next told me the "talk" was not necessary. She said "John, do you have to special order the balloons to get the size extra extra small". Should me daughter be teasing her brother like that? John thought what she ask him was REALLY funny. |
| Question: My mom is acting Crazy about me getting close to my dad? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:23 AM PDT She turns from happy to mad easily. Why I'm just minding my business she let's her singer out on me about how my dad is a dick and how she pays for attorney bills. I'm afraid to ask her to call my dad. She trust know one even me.

| Question: Are my parents unfair? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:22 AM PDT My parents are making me play golf with them when they know I hate it so much. So I told them I would be staying home they said OK, we'll come pick you up later for dinner because we're eating with another family. But then later all of a sudden they change their minds and say, you're coming with us because we can't pick you up for dinner when they said they would have enough time. Is it just me or does this seem super unfair |

| Question: How can I get my parents to let me watch ahs? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 07:59 AM PDT I'm 13 and I've been watching American horror story in secret now. I've seen season 1 3 and im currently watching season 2. My friends watch it and they're parents don't have a problem with it but my parents won't let me.

| Posted: 21 Mar 2015 07:41 AM PDT So I kinda want to give head to my dad and let him do a bit more. I know it sounds crazy but I really want to. Help? |
| Question: What else can I do to make my father proud? Posted: 21 Mar 2015 07:38 AM PDT Im currently a highschool student and im taking all AP/Honors classes and I work so hard to get good grades to make my dad proud of me. I never go out, I help around the house, and I drive my sibling to his games when my parents arent able to. All my life ive tried so hard to please him and I've never heard him tell me he was proud of me.. Hes much more harder on me than my siblings and no matter what I do it doesn't seem to be enough for him. I know my dad grew up with a tough father who never showed him love I try to understand him but its so hard because it hurts. He's always criticizing me and no matter how much good ive done he points out my mistake! Ive read articles to find ways to change his attitude towards me and none have seemed to work. So this is my question: What should I do to make him proud and to show love towards me? (Please don't disrespect him in the answers) |
