The other day my family and I looked at a house. We removed our shoes (as often required at open houses). I was barefoot as I had worn sandals (not uncommon) and everyone else wore socks. When the realtor showed us the different rooms and asked us questions about what we thought, she often asked me "Oksana, how does that carpet feel?" Or "Oksana, how does that floor feel?" I later asked her why she kept asking me that, and she said that it was because I had bare feet, thus it was easier to feel the carpets/floors than those wearing socks, and said that my opinion on the carpets/floors was especially important. Does anyone else find this odd?

I'm 14 and I'm 5'6 my dad is 5'7 and my mom is 5'5 and my cousins are telling me I won't grow anymore. Will I stay short?

my mom found out I was looking through our neighbors window this morning. Cuz the neighbor came to our house and toad her she seen me doing it. And seen me running away. So my mom came in my bedroom and toad me she knows and shes gonna tell my dad. So I panicked and locked her in my bedroom. Cuz our interior doors have locks and keys cuz of the old owner. So she couldn't get out. Cuz I took the key from the inside, then I ran outside my bedroom & locked her in from the outside. Then I didn't know what to do, cuz I knew I turned a little thing into a big incident. So I went to my friends house and played Xbox . then my dad called my phone, saying I better come home or he gonna knock me out. I went home. He already took the door off so he didn't even need the key I had!!! He just got me to come home so he could hit me. Cuz that's exactly what he did. He hit me lots of times and he shouldn't even be that mad. It was a accident, but he hitting me and calling me names. Until my mom toad him to let me up. Even then he wouldn't even let me up and just yelled more. This is abuse and besides I bet my mom wasn't even locked in that long. I bet she either called him, or just waited for him cuz he said he was going to the gym which is only for like 2 hours. Why my mom have to be a big baby over some time locked in a room?? shes a horrible mom as well. She gets sad when she hears about abused kids in newspapers and stuff but she let my dad abuse me. I have injuries of that my sneaker is missing, my shorts are ripped and I have rug burn on my knee and I have red all over. But my mom don't care!!! She just ignoring how violent her husband is And she says I'm not being abused cuz I push my dad, and by all rights he should of beat me to a pulp a million times over but he has never done that. He still hits me and she doesn't get it!!! She take his side!!

When I was 4 my mother got into an argument with my drunken father and they finally divorced afterwards, but they both left me with my grandmother. All she ever did was tell me how terrible my mother and father were and turned me against every person that, in retrospect, could have helped me. She yells at me a lot and I've tried to explain things to her but she just interrupts and yells louder. Any time i try to talk to her about my issues she just blames my mother when she's really the one that's stressing me out. I used to be very obese and she would pick on me for that and call me lazy and when i started losing weight she called me "bones" and threatened to beat me and ground me if i didn't eat. I am, however, at a healthy weight now having lost 50 pounds or so and she acts as if she helped me. A few years ago i extremely sad about my parents and myself and i self harmed. When she found out she yelled for a few hours about how stupid i was and how much money shed spent on me and much it would cost if i were hospitalized and threatened to burn my jacket. She continued to bring it up, calling me an attention whore and such when i had hidden it from her(and everyone else) for several months. I did it to feel something ( i was numb) not for attention. Anyways, when i realized i was dumb and stopped she bragged to everyone about how she threatened me and" made me stop". I have to stop now, but there are many more terrible situations i'll tell if you ask. Is this abuse? Money has always been a worry of mineand she went to buy to me clothes and i told her no.Apparently this embarrassed her and she called me an ungrateful piece of ****(many times). She asked me why i did that and i told her it was because i was worthless and didn't deserve it, after which she smacked me, told me i was lying.Also, last April she hit my in the head with phone(breaking it) and then hit me in the head several times with her fists. Not punching, but hard enough that I was disoriented.

I'm religious but want to just end my pain. helP? suiside?

My Dad never wants to hear what I have to say he never wants to go anywhere and do anything he never smiles I don't even remember the last time he even smiled I am sick and tired of his grumpy *** and attitude he only wants to play on his phone or Ipad. He only likes to go to work and come home and sit on his ***. He has bought me a ipad phone and computer but I would rather him be nice than to have a phone and stuff can someone please help?

my family cant even afford a bottle of water, the maximum my dad can pay is 10 dollars, sorry if my english is bad. What can i do?

All my mom does is ***** at me 24/7. I'm depressed and get sad easily, sometimes I want my space and like to be alone. She always wants me to make decisions and I have a hard time making decisions. When she asks me something and I respond with "I don't know" she'll start shouting at me infront of everyone, telling me to stop acting that way and blah blah blah. I start crying (I admit I'm a little bit of a cry baby) and to make it worse, she doesn't apologize. No she yells at me more and talks **** about me to other people telling them I'm so complicated. Today we were eating and my brother touched this street dog while eating, I told him to stop and he didn't listen. I told my mom and she started screaming at me out of nowhere saying I have a mouth and I should use it, I should tell my brother himself. I wanted to cry because she embarrassed me infront of my friends. We wanted to go to the mall before that and she told my cousin to ask this slut if she wants to go the mall or not. It broke my heart, why does she keep hurting me like this...

I piss in empty Gatorade bottles and let them ferment in the window for a few days. After a few days have passed I dump the urine out my window and into the backyard it has killed the grass in one area and worked it's way into the roof tiles as well. I am saving money and the earth in the process of pissing in bottles not flushing a Toliet saves many gallons of water. They are really mad about the smell of urine in the backyard my record was I saved 4 2 liter soda bottles and dumped them all out the window at once. Is this normal

I'm very self conscious about my body so I rarely do anything active in front of another human being in fear of what they'll think. Even if they don't say anything, I assume that whatever they'll thinking whilst looking at me is negative in some way. I guess it's because I'm so used to hearing negative comments about my body. My dad is the main source of this i guess. If I'm wearing a top that isn't baggy, he'll joke that I look pregnant, or point out how my fat wobbles. This makes me get depressed and eventually I want to change it so I start trying to exercise, but whenever I've dressed up in jogging bottoms to try going for a jog, my dad always makes a comment that discourages me or reminds me that I'll look ridiculous trying to run around other, thinner, joggers. But at the same time, he makes fun of me for staying in my room all of the time and that I don't go out much! I don't know what to do. I feel like no matter what I try to do it's always wrong. Or I get discouraged too quickly to see any improvements that make me want to continue. i want to find an isolated field or somewhere without many people, and just run. but im scared to leave the house in my jogging gear because I can't get out of the house without him seeing me dressed up. I feel so silly and out of character when im wearing jogging bottoms/trainers, but I can't really jog in my usual jeans! I don't know what to do :( A part of me wishes i could just go to the gym and workout, but i dread the thought of others seeing me struggle to do the basics, or even the people i'll have to walk past on the 45 min walk to the gym!

I have a friend is in a pretty bad place, and has been his whole life. His family is always shouting, and there has been cases of physical abuse. Basically theres just alot of problems in the family. And he is severally depressed due to stuff that has happened, and cant even afford to go to a psychologist to talk to get help. he just got out of school but he doesnt have enough money to move out or anything. And he doesnt want to report his family either cause he doesnt want anything to happen to then. So i dont know what to do ! What do you think?

My mother found out I am sexually active with my long term boyfriend. For the past 3 months, she has not talked to me, she grounded me for 2 of the months (took me out of sports, took away my car that I fully paid for, banned me from seeing certain friends, and banned me from seeing my boyfriend). I literally only went to school, work and then home. My father is more on my side, but wont speak out against my mom. My mom has called me a whore, *****, slut behind my back, and tries to control everything I do. I get that it's a parents job to control their children a bit, but this has gone too far. She's telling me I can't move out when I turn 18 in December (it is july now) because i will still be in high school, and she's telling me that just because I'll be 18, it doesnt mean i can make choices for myself. My brother who is 16 can do whatever he wants, despite his criminal record and poor grades. It's so hard trying to be the bigger person when i am lost on what to do and becoming more and more depressed as the days go by. Literally just sitting in my room and having to sneak away with friends when i can, because i'm only allowed to hang w/ certain girls. I have a part-time job, i am looking for a second, and I am pretty good at finances. I just need to know if I can move out legally (i live in Wisconsin) and I would like some other advice. Should I just tough it out until the end of the school year and wait till I go to college? Thanks for your time. -Paige

in 2012 we moved in with my grandparents. At the time i was around 10 or 11 years old and my grandmother always nagged to mother and barley acted like she wanted us (grandchildren 5 of us, and my parents around) every morning my mom. Said that my grandmother would come in her room and tell her all the things that we supposively did that day or night. And us 5 are very very respectful kids and my mother often tells us how respectful we are and people at church often compliment us on our respect for others. My grandmother for instance would come in the room without knocking, and spurt out a comment like, come one guys y all have been playing the games all day get off! In a very mean tone and when she knows she s wrong she won t EVER apologize or admit shes wrong! My grandfather has recently died If colon cancer that spread to his liver and she often talks about how he would turn over in his grave if he ever saw us do something that s not even a big deal. My siblings and I talk about how we don t really wanna be around my grandmother and how mean she acts towards us. Then when it s time to cut the grass, she would go out without telling anyone that day or day before and when we finally notice she s out there and go out to help her, she often calls us lazy and throws an attitude. Also she often throws comments at us like if your not gonna help I can do nothing by myself! I thought she did this because of grief but she s been doing it ever sense my mom was a baby! Any help please?

Will it heal or is the physicic right

Last Saturday my cousins came from Ohio and my 13th year old cousin stayed at my house this whole week and it was awkward talking to him because we haven't seen each other but we started talking and we got closer than ever and on Wednesday we all went to watch a movie and he laid next to me and he put his arm on me and he wanted me to lay on it so I did because why not and that day he would keep looking at me and during the movie I told him to shut up and he's like "im not the only one that's talking" and I looked at him and turned around and covered myself with the blanket and ignored him and he was saying sorry and he just left me alone and I just fell asleep and on Thursday we went to the beach and when we were going home we were in the car and he was side hugging me and tickling my side and rubbing my back and he slept on my lap and today he left back to Ohio and i don't know what to do because I ain't see him till like 2 years and I miss him so much

So basically just something you should know before I start is I'm 16 and I have a history with depression So I've applied loss of places for a job in and no where has come back and my uncle just offered for me to go and stay with him and work in his show for very good pay for two weeks, obviously it's summer for me atm. I don't know weather to go cause I'm icbiously gunna Miss out on loads of stuff with my friends and stuff, but it's a really good opportunity, I feel like I have no one to talk to about it and help me weigh up my options, my perants are always moody and arguing I'm beggining to feel depressed again being round hear and idk some one help me ?

I was listening to a motivational speaker on YouTube. He stated his early life difficulty of his mother dieing in a car crash when he was young. His father remarried, only to die himself. His step mother remarried and then his step mother died then his step father remarried. So I was just wondering who something like this happened the most to.

I recently graduated college and my birthday was around the same time. So, my sister knew i wanted a laptop and got me a macbook air. I love the gift and I showed her my appreciation and gratitude. The reason I want to exchange the gift is because the laptop is 11" and I would prefer the 13", which is only a hundred dollar difference. I like watching videos and stuff, but i just prefer a larger screen cause i do everything with my laptop. Should I just keep the gift or is it okay to exchange the gift?

Well I'm 22, mother of 1 and engaged. im at a point in my life where I am becoming more aware of how the people in my family are and trying to accept things for what they are but its not so easy. Mom and grandma are both addicts and alcoholics and they party together, everyone else are just so into thereself and selfish and only care about what they want to do no matter the situation it puts everyone else in. They all feed off of drama and love to gossip about one another. I'm just really over the negativity in surrounded by and feel as though I need a break. I have dreams that I want to go after but as long as I continue to stick around this negativity I feel as though I'm never going to make progress in getting to where I want to be in life. If it's not coming home dealing with the drama it's going to work and dealing with the disrespect or the judging or something. Mind you I work at the family business so there's no detachment at all. & I need a peace of mind and to find myself and my independence but no one seems to understand. Everyone is taking it as if my fiancé is just trying to take me and my daughter away from them which isn't the case. My question is, am I wrong for wanting to separate from my toxic family and trying to establish a life for my own family? My mom makes me feel so guilty about the thought if going and I feel guilty about leaving my sister who had to deal with my mom and how she is

I rent a room in an older woman's home. I do not feel comfortable living there but I feel I am not free to leave. She tries to act like a motherly figure which makes me feel uncomfortable. For example, when I am cooking she will insist I add specific ingredients to it or change the heat setting on the stove without asking me. She is always concerned about how clean my room is and how often I wash my sheets. I work 6 days a week and it's hard to keep my room completely spotless but it is not in an unsanitary condition. I was recently a victim of stalking from a former partner. During the instances of the stalker showing up at my house, she would scream at me because I could not control this persons actions. The stalking alone has affected me emotionally and since I am a male, it is hard to find support. There were two other times she lashed out at me. Once was over conflicting political views we had and the other was me mentioning moving. I mentioned moving because she wanted me to move into another room in the house because she needs my room for tenants who are moving in. She started lashing out at me saying how can I move when I put her through all the stress of having to deal with my stalker. I told her I am not able to control it. She told me that the stalking was all my fault. At this point I started crying and told her that during my relationship my gf was abusive to me and I was not free to leave her. At this point, I feel the need to just do everything I can do be nice to her because I am afraid she will start lashing out at me again. Everytime she raises her voice at me, she won't stop until I agree with her. I am scared and do not know what she will do when I move out.

I'm 22 year old female with aspergers and ad/hd and that is why I live in a adult living program. My mom is my legal guardian. She won't let me have any friends cause she says they are a bad influence. They people that I want to hang out don't do anything illegal. She tells me that she wants me to do things and when I try to she doesn't let me. I'm sad cause I'm not allowed to have friends. My mom controls everything I do. She doesn't treat me like I'm 22. She tells me that I don't act like that and that is cause I have disabilities.

I've have some pretty "crafty" family members. One is an uncle who works in a supply depot and pilfers supplies for his home. I have another relative that has a crooked insurance adjuster buddy and makes insurance claims for non-casualty home repairs and upgrades. I have brought up this behavior with them and they just scoff. So, I don't talk to them anymore. What else can I do?

So my mom kicked me out the house because she found out I was an atheist and I'm 18 and I don't have no place to go? It really hurt me when she told me to burn in hell :'(

so, we, us two, went of vacation with our grandparents, and i know its kinda silly, but i have this favorite chair in the cabin. so i told him, "hey im gonna sit here for the whole trip and u cant take it" and he said "ok il sit here" and then two days later i find him sitting in my seat and im like what the heck move! and my grandparents defended him! there just like he wants a new seat hes bored and they made me sit in his old one. and when we got back, i saw my little brother for the first time in weeks and i was happy and i asked him if he wanted to play video games with me. then of course my older brother swoops in and bribes him to playing with him by giving him pennies to my grandparents gumball machine. and now my little brother completley ignores me and plays with my older brother. and then i took my dog out to the bathroom, and my mom asked me to take her for a walk. i didnt want to miss breakast, so i said, "ill do it after breakast" and then my brother comes and says "oh ill take her for a walk" and my moms like oh ok thank you! and then i was talking to my dad who i hadnt seen in a week and was telling him about something and then he comes and says oh that! i have pictures and then my dad was looking at him and not me. he also copies me. ive been putting whipped cream and strawberries on my waffles/pancakes forever and now he suddenly starts doing it. and the worst part is, he doesnt "look up" to me. HES A TOTAL PERV AND IS ALMOST 15!!!! I AM 11 AND I HATE HIM!!! he has anger issues. he punched me in the stomach once over a cookie pan. -_- i love my family except for him! ok maybe i dont hate him but i feel like it he is acting more and more annoying every year i remember when i was little he was innocent and my little brother wasnt born and we actually got along. i wish he is like the person he was 6 years ago but now hes like the complete oppisite. he always judges me over little things, like the clothes i wear, the songs i listen to, the websites i look at. -_- i really miss the old him and now i just glare at him all day. he always laughs whenever i get in trouble. i try to be nice to him but then he always starts up/says something and we get mad. after he punched me in the stomach, my mom came and he was like, oh im sorry! but as he said it he was grinning the the cheshire cat, and of course my mom isnt looking at him and she tells me that i shouldnt have told him what to do, and tells him he shouldnt of punched me and he was like well she slapped me! and i didnt so i ultimate got into the most trouble.

I would always try to fight back at my brother because he thinks he is a know it all and always gets angry at stupid stuff. For example, I ate his chocolate bar that was from overseas. I accidentally ate it because my mom said I could and that it was nobodies. My brother kept being mean by calling me stupid and dumb for NOT KNOWING IT WAS SOMEBODIES. LIKE HOW THE HELL. I ASKED IF IT WAS SOMEONES. I THOUGHT IT WAS NO ONES. Then he says I CAN'T GET IT OVERSEAS. Then not even that long ago. i find the same chocolate bar in a store. I shove it in his face saying. ITS IN STORES. Then he comes back saying "YEAH, IT'S CALLED THE ECONOMY STUPID. YOU CAN GET THINGS OVERSEAS." WTF? Not even the whole point of the conversation. The point was. HE GOT ANGRY OVER A STUPID CHOCOLATE BAR FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. AND THEN HE CALLS ME DUMB OR STUPID BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. YEA THAT'S OBVIOUS IT CAME BY IMPORTING. So, why does he always call me names for things I DO KNOW and sometimes THINGS I WOULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE WELL WHY WOULD I KNOW IT? Like he called me stupid for not knowing how many laps around the school track field equals a mile. WTF? no one ever told me how many laps EQUALS A MILE. ON OUR TRACK FIELD?! (Sorry for caps, angry while writing this)

Look, I don't like getting mad and yelling, I'm not that type of dad( single dad btw), but, my 13 year old daughter is getting me to that point. This just started, this new attitude of hers. She used to do what I asked the first time I asked it, not anymore. So, last night I was getting dinner ready, then this fight occurred. Me: Dani( Danielle) can you please set the table? Then really quickly go clean your room Her: Ugh why? No one will see it( she was on her phone and computer) Me: I'll see it and I want to see it clean. Her: Ugh… why? Me: I'm the adult, I said go do something, now go do it. Her: And if I don't? ( Folds arms) Me: Well, then, you're grounded. Actually not a bad idea, hand over the laptop and the phone, then go to your room. Her: Seriously? Me: Yes, I'm serious now go, no dinner either, go sit in your room until you're ready to do those chores. Her: Fine !!! ( runs upstairs, slams door) Haven't seen her yet. Did I mess up? Too harsh?

I just recently bought my parents house to relive them of the bills and upkeep we also moved my grandmother in to help her out. She is getting to the point that I don't trust leaving her in the house byherself (she just caused a kitchen fire this morning and didn't even notice. The fire was about two feet from her). She has alsobacked into the house 4 times in the last month. I've been trying to talk to my mom about it but everytime I bring it up my mom spins it to make me look like the bad Guy. I'm just trying to keep Gma and everyone else in this house safe. I've tried to make Dr appointments for Gma to get checked out and my mom refuses to either take her or she calls and cancels the appointment. I honestly don't know what to do at this point. I'm working three jobs to support everyone. And her accusing me making up stories about my Gma is just too much. My dad sees what's going on and he's trying to talk to my mom as well but everytime we bring the subject up she gets defensive and starts yelling. Any advice?

Okay so my parents fight all the time. I'll admit, my mother does overreact sometimes but at the end she always tries to apologize and resolve it. My father has no pity for ANYTHING and he never cares. I'm pretty sure he loves to pick a fight with her and it hurts me more than it does them to watch them fight. I just cry and feel really bad like its my fault every time. All I'm asking is for you to console me a bit and for some advice. Thanks.

I'm sixteen years old and I HATE my life. I don't have any friends, i'm no longer in education and I don't have a job. We can leave school at 16 here in the UK. I'm just so sick of my life. My every-day routine is to wake up, eat, watch TV then sleep. I don't friends to go out with so i have to stay at home with my annoying family who I also hate. I would get a job but I'm a little p*ssy when it comes to having to go to an interview cos im shy and hate talking to people.

I m seriously at my wits end. My father is a selfish alcoholic hypocrite who makes me cry and makes my mothers life a living hell. He is arrogant and his opinion is the only one that should be heard. Should anyone try to express themselves they are belittled by him. He has completely ruined out relationship with his behavior and I am sick and tired of him. Being around him means constantly walking on eggshells, you never know when he is gonna blow or when he is going to make you feel like ****. I am so tired of this life. He constantly talks of money to the point that it makes me sick. He provides for us very well and I live in a beautiful house but I swear I would give it up just to have a REAL father who I can be myself around and who can take care of my emotional needs as opposed to only my materialistic ones. Being a father means more than just being a provider. To make it worse he confuses me. When he is sober he is a good guy but once he drinks he turns. When he is being nice I feel bad for not being close to him but when he drinks I realize why our relationship is so severed. He will never change and my only option us to work hard and never look back. I m just tired of being confused because I love him but I hate him. Advice?

I am just about fed, honestly. My 17th birthday was 2 days ago, so yes I only have 1 year left. If it didn't effect me I could care less, his problem I'd say, just it really does. At any given point I can give plenty fresh examples, right now, three are 1. We live with a terrible step-mom, she drives him up the wall so much he drinks heavily and contemplates suicide almost daily. We bought a house after half a year of him promising he would, but we were supposed to move a week ago. I have friends to move me there with/without him, but he says not until he leaves. 2. I talked to the recruiter the other day and he kept hitting the snooze button that he slept through it all and made me talk to her alone. 3. I've been promised a car "next week" all Summer. Even asked for a car and nothing but a car for my birthday, certain that would do it. Nope, I just got nothing for my birthday except to drive Dad to the grocery store to buy alcohol. I am tired of this, so much. Every time I want to take a step forward in life, he yanks the leash and says "Wait for me" but never takes a single step. What should I do about this? Is this reason enough to get emancipated?

It is too boys. One being a gay 18 year old. The other a overweight 16 year old. My 16 year old always calls the older brother a ****** whenever the 18 year old calls him a fat b****. But he only calls him a ****** when he gets called a fat ***** I told my younger son to stop calling him a ****** and it only escelated from there. Now that its over im thinking it could have all been prevented if i forbid both names. What would you have done in the situation ? Just tell the younger brother to stop calling him a ****** or forbid both words ? The 16 year old claims he will keep calling the 18 year old a ****** because the 18 year old keeps calling the him a fat *****

Well I m a 15 year old girl and I m always stuck inside. Even when I am stuck inside all my parents ever do is bring me down and critise me like one time they said to me everyone else s children are so clever and stuff and my children are so inactive if they can t pick their asses up now they re not ganna be able to in the future and I was just like what the hell, SHE DOESNT EVEN LET ME OUT THOUGH she s contantly shouting at me for everything even though I do housework! I always wash the dishes and clean the bathroom, do the ironing and look after my younger siblings. My sister is 16 and she s on anti depressants. My mum knows she s on them but my sister hasn t told her why. She told me why and its because she was sexual abused in some kind of way; she told my mum what happened but said it was a friend of hers and all my mum said was what a slut so my sister didn t dare to tell her . But even though she is on them my parents still don t let her ! Like how is she supposed to stay inside all day and not become depressed. The worst thing is that it s the summer holidays now so I can t even go to school so I just spend all day locked away at home cleaning up or just sitting down cause there s nothing to do. My friends invite me out all the time but I always have to say no and they ve started to not even bother asking me because they know that it s going to be a no.

My mom has been abusing prescription drugs for ever since I can remember. I thought it was no big deal since they were prescription and not drugs off the street. Recently, I havent seen her sober at all. And when she is sober shes crying and screaming at everyone telling them to get her more pills because she has back pain. I got into a fight with her two days ago because she was acting ridiculous around the house. She was falling, slurring her words, and acting like a complete drunk in front of her child (8 years old) . She's manipulated her children into thinking these pills are good for her and they make her feel good so she needs to take them. I find it so disgusting because she chooses these drugs over anything. For example, I had lost my cell phone in the house and i asked her to help me find it and she said she looked and couldnt find it. Yesterday, her pill medication when missing and she thought i took it, which i didnt, and she pulls out my phone and says "I found it, give me my pills and I'll give you your phone back." I told her I didnt have them but still should get my phone back since its mine and i didnt do anything to get it taken away. Today, I'm leaving in about 30 mintutes to go out with my friends for the weekend because I need a break. I asked her can i have my cell phone please? and she said no I lost it sorry. Which I know she didnt because she lies all the time to get what she wants. I just don't know what to do anymore. My dad knows about this and they fight all the time over it but my dad won't get a divorce or anything. He thinks she can get better and I do too but she just is putting the drugs over everything and it made me lose all love for her. I really don't care for her at this point, I just care for all the lies shes been hiding and the rest of my family.

I'm 27 and I got engaged to my boyfriend of 6 years at the beginning of this year. Ever since then, my mom has been putting so much stress and pressure on the both of us to have the "perfect wedding" and to "give her a grandbaby." But neither of us want kids right now because we're both young and still pretty busy with our work/school schedules. (I'm still in medical school and my fiancé is a music instructor). I have other biological siblings, as well as half and step siblings, but only one of them has a kid, and she's 10 years old now. So she's not a baby anymore. My mom just has this insane urge to care for a baby again or something I guess. It's really starting to get on my nerves, though. Because every time we come to visit her, she says things like, "You two really need to get moving with that wedding" and "I'm going to have the cutest grandkids!" It makes my fiancé uncomfortable, but neither of us have said anything because we don't want to hurt her feelings. Plus, I don't even know what to say. My mom is pretty sensitive and I feel like telling her to knock it off or that we don't want kids will probably make her angry or something. (It sounds crazy, but that's how she is). How can I handle this situation so my mom doesn't freak out?

I don't only wear underwear I mean I wear a shirt too. It gets really really hot here in summer this summer it went up to 47°C. Me and my sister both only prefer to wear underwear around the house. This whole two months I think we only wore pants when we had to go out otherwise no. My mom although thinks I should start wearing pants around my sister I'm 13 and I'm a boy and I have 3 older sisters and I have always been comfortable wearing underwear around them. Now my mom just comes in my room and forcefully hands me my pj's or my jeans which itch so bad. I can cope with shorts but even then I don't feel as comfortable as I do in underwear. My skin reddens like a tomato in summer. The doctor did gave me medicine to make me less allergic. It itches like hell and rashes start to appear everywhere that's why I prefer to wear only briefs.

I want to buy to my sister flowers from this website http://nowrafloristshop.com.au Please help me to choose a suitable bouquet for her.

Summer is almost over and I have to go back with my dad and my step mom. Although I love my dad and my step mom, summer is the longest time I get to spend with my mom. Also I'm coming into my junior year of high school and sophmore year and freshman year sucked I had so much trouble keeping my grades up sophomore year ,freshman year I did good with grades but too my drama went on both years I ended both years sad and ready to get out.Can anyone give me advice?

I came home last night and somewhere in the conversation, I said "she was frustrating to talk to right now" (I told her about my day and she always says I probably drank a lot today, which I don't really drink that much, and I didn't even drink last night. She also jokes that I was probably doing drugs too, and I really don't...) I wasn't up for such assumptions, so I asked my dad how his day was instead. While I was talking to my dad now she was conversing normally with us as well. I went upstairs to relax and then shortly after she sends a text that says "if you have anything nice to say to me, don't talk to me". It kinda caught me off guard because I didn't really even realize I said something potentially, rude (at this point I didn't even know what I said that triggered this). My dad then comes upstairs and asks what I said to my mom because she was crying a lot. He then told me it was something I said about "her being frustrating". It was 4am now and I didn't feel like creating this scene so I went to bed. On a side note, I feel like this has a connection with me not being able to talk through problems I have with people as easily, as an adult, where i avoid confrontation that involves even the slightest bit of criticism. My friends are helping me with this weak trait of mine. I know it sounds kind of strange, but I wish my mom conditioned me and disciplined me deal with criticism on the spot instead of crying and giving the silent treatment. :/

Should I get my 10 Thomas the Tank Engine pull ups because he wants them

My GF has a 9 year old son. We've been together for four years, and living together for three. She has primary custody, so he lives with us. His father is in his life, and is a decent man. But he only sees his son a few nights every month. I love my GF. When it is the two of us, we get along fabulously. But when her son is there, everything changes. He is an only child, and I get it that my GF wants to protect him, especially since she divorced when he was only four. But I find him to be incredibly spoiled, and possessing this sense of entitlement that I would never have gotten away with at his age. I try talking with her, but she just can't see what he's doing that's wrong. She is quick to compare him to other kids. But honestly, those kids are better behaved from what I see. It's worth noting that she was also an only child. I want to make things work, but the child is undeniably driving a wedge. My GF gets very upset, and wants me to act like a "dad" and have those feelings for him. I do have feelings. But I don't feel a biological bond with him. I think my GF can't understand that while I love her son, he is not my flesh and blood, and I don't have that same paternal connection. I know many relationships involve stepchildren. So I appreciate my situation is hardly unique. But I am wondering from other stepparents if they also feel that lack of biological connection with their stepkids? I fear my GF wants this to become something it might never be.

I need some job ideas for stay home moms. Website links are helpful too! Thanks!

I don't like to talk about myself, but my parents are a little overprotective and don't let me watch more "adult" shows without them knowing first so I want to know, are these considered adult shows? Are they innapropriate for my age? A lot of my peers love them and I would like to watch them, but if they are to mature for my age, I don't know what the post of asking would be. •Once Upon A Time •Impractical Jokers •Dance Moms •The Walking Dead •Pretty Little Liars Thanks for helping!!!

My wife's mother Joy is spending 2 weeks with us as her house is getting some major work done on it. We are enjoying every minute of her visit. Image how it feels for my wife and myself to come home to a delicious hot meal every day after work. He desserts are do die for. The house is cleaned and the clothes and dishes are washed. One day after a hard drive on the freeway I was very tired when I got home. Joy at one time owned a massage parlor and asked me if I would like a massage. It sounded like a good idea. Joy said I will give you a full body massage. I will massage every part of your body and I mean EVERY PART. OH MY GOD. I don't think I want her to do that. Trying to get out of it, I asked my wife if she was OK with her mother giving me a full body massage. My wife said, go ahead. It will relax you. Guys, would you let your mother in law give you a full body massage? OR Could I be reading more into what she said than what she meant?

i am an indian teenager just trying to live my life to the fullest but my parents aren't having it. they push me to work for every single hour i am awake and all to get one diploma from an ivy league. i dont see the point. i dont want to work at a desk from 9 to 5. i have much more potential, but my parents dont see it. i feel like being happy is the most important part of life. obviously i wont give up college. theyre being extremely kind and will pay for most of it, but i dont think studying 10 hours a day on avg is going to help me. i want to be able to enjoy my teenage years without having to worry about my future every minute im awake. i could go on for hours on this topic, but i'll stop here. what should i do?

I am a male with a sister younger by a year and people are always telling me she s hot, it gets so annoying and I don t know how to handle it. It s not like I m going to agree or disagree, it s my ******* sister. But sometimes I feel like people only want to be my friend to try and get to know my sister. How do I stop this from happening

I was having trouble in my high school math class. My classmate Jim told me his mom was a engineer and she could help me understand my math problems. He said "come home and let her help you". At his house he introduced me to his mom. OH MY GOD. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. Gorgeous face, figure to die for. She had on a sweater that showed her 36Gs (my guess). She was a great tutor. She really knew her math. However it took ALL of my will power to keep my mind on math and not to get a b0ner when she was tutoring me. That would have been a DISASTER and the most embarrassing thing EVER to happen to me and the end of my friendship with Jim. Lucky for me it did not happen. After tutoring me she gave me and Jim a piece of homemade pie and ice cream. Was she ever a nice person. If there ever was a trophy wife, she would be it. I told Jim he was very lucky to have such a beautiful mom. He said I never noticed his mom was beautiful. How do you think it is possible that a teenage guy like me would not know his mom is so beautiful?

It took a year but I've finally learned to control my anger. The rest of my family weren't so fortunate though. It's like they're soaked in gasoline and will explode on me with just a small spark.

So I'm i n college, and slightly disabled. I have one leg shorter than the other but that can't stop me from working some office job. Here is what is going on. I want to fully take care of my own college expenses and work a 14-15 hour a week job while doing school. My mom expects me to depend on her but that's not what I want. She doesn't owe me 8 years of college. It's not her responsibility it's mine. I feel at a certain age it's inappropriate to take your mother's money and depend on her for everything you need. I am 19 and I feel I am nearing that age. Everytime I tell her i'm going to get a job she tries to convince me to stay unemployed. I just want to be a independent young woman. I want to take care if my responsibilities and let my mom have to not worry about taking care of me. Yes I get it she worries about me but I feel that's not a reason to keep me dependent on her. I don't want to. I do have my own income I get disability from my state. I use it to pay for school but I can't build a savings off of it! It's almost impossible and my tuition is very pricey! In all actuality if I'm working only 15 hours a week the state isn't even going to take much of my disability check..I'll still be getting at least $600. I can't accomplish anything on disability. I can't get a car, I can't build a savings, I can't build an emergency fund. I need a savings because I need to go to medical school. How am I supposed to go to medical school with no job? Let's be realistic here!

I m 13 my mum is an hardcore African woman I have to cook and clean and wake up early to do so everyday and if I do something that she tells me how much of a mistake I am, tells me that she doesn t care if I die and if I refuse to do something she will hit me over the head with something hard. She tells family members things that I haven t done and twists them into something like for example I am a whore who likes men, I don t know what to do I just want to run away and never come back and as much as I don t like it sometimes I think of doing the worst which you all know what that is
