I always wanted a room by myself but since I was the youngest in my family they keep saying no. Now that im going to turn 18 I still can t have a room by myself which is dumb. I don t have any privacy. Unless I move out which I find it impossible considering the fact that there no jobs where I live. I have to share rooms with my parents. I find that embarrassing. Maybe I wasn t meant to have a room by myself :/

My mother in law is a self proclaimed photographer. She takes a zillion pictures of my Children at family functions. It drives me crazy. She posted 81 photos on Facebook. It upset me that my children s photos were made so public. So my husband asked her to tone it down. Well she did it again. So I confronted her and explained why I dont want them up. She flipped out and said well she is just gonna crop me out of the pictures and crop me out of the family. My husband said I should apologize for causing a scene. I did but I didn t mean it. Now she is literally cropping me our of my wedding pictures. It s unbelievable. Any advice

I'm 15. I'm the oldest of three. My two half siblings are years younger than me. We have the same mom but different dads. My dad died when I was 5. My mom met and married my brothers' dad a few months after my dad died and he died 2 1/2 years ago. She's now married to a widower who has 4 kids from his deceased wife. All are under the age of 13. So I'll admit, we aren't a close family. I know me and my stepfathers oldest son don't actually want to be one. We both have expressed our lack of interest in spending more time together and having to bond with our respective stepsiblings. The two of us also pointed out or dislike of our parent calling their new spouse our other parent. My mom says he's our dad and my stepfather says she's their mom. It drives all of the kids mad and causes arguments, fights and I believe it's why the younger kids act out as badly as they do. There isn't a day that goes by where the kids aren't fighting, cursing, hitting the adults and being rude and angry. My stepfathers youngest daughter screamed for over an hour after he told her to "ask your mom". My mom and I haven't been getting along for years. When she was married to my brothers' father, she tried to get me to call him dad, she also attempted to take all my photos of my dad from my bedroom and has always wanted me to forget him and embrace her husbands like they've always been in my life. She's doing the same with my brothers now. She told me to be happy for her and I want to be. But I feel what she's asking for is unrealistic. She wants us to see ourselves as a nuclear family. She wants no "step" mentioned. And she wants everyone to act like the Brady Bunch. I've never tried to say no to doing stuff together, because I know I have to suck it up for another couple of years. However, I don't like the whole thing of doing a family tree where we pretend everyone is an original family member. I don't even sleep in a bedroom. I've been sleeping on the couch for months. Talking to her never works. It's a waste of time and energy because she doesn't want to hear that I don't want another "dad". Once it comes up that I already have a dad and I loved him and he loved me, she gets so angry. I'm honestly at the point where I have no desire to get along with anyone but my brothers, who kind of depend on me to be their voice in certain things.

Okay so my 10 year old daughter has gotten bit bed bugs(literally) and her mom and I have been taking turns applying anti itch ointment on them. She has two on her thigh and two on her bottom. When she got out of the shower I figured it would be a perfect time to apply the ointment since it works best after a warm bath or shower. So I was doing that and she was lying face down on her stomach with nothing on from the waist down, as she was lying there on her stomach, her legs were slightly apart so I also saw her private, and it had something in it that looked white. Like some sort of white junk. I told her mom but she isn't sure what to do either. Do I call her Pediatrician? Or how do we handle it?

I was babysitting my neighbor's 6 year old son yesterday. I have never babysat him before, though I certainly know him. He's a good kid, and we got along well. something happened though that I'm not sure is normal, and I'm wondering if I should say something to his mom. I sent him to his room to get ready for his bath. I told him to get his clothes off while I ran the bath and told him to call me when he was ready. it seemed to be taking longer than necessary, so I went to his room. The bedroom door was half open and I could see him sitting on the floor with his legs spread and he was playing with his penis, which was erect. He didn't see me, so I went back to the bathroom and called to him (I should have done that in the first place). I wasn't aware that little boys get erections, and was very surprised to see a boy that young playing with himself. is his behavior normal for a little boy? Should I say something to his mother?

My mom has never really been there for me. And when she is, she is always yelling at me. I feel that she likes my older sister more because she gets whatever she wants. I have a sliding phone and my sister has the iPhone 6 (we are 1 year apart) I have a 2007 mac and she has a iMac air(2015). My mom always tells me to do chores and my sister sits on her butt and complains about everything. I'm counting down until I can escape this place which is in 1 year or so. I cannot STAND MY MOM everything is about my sister and her, its always "shut up your sister is going through a lot, you can't blame her!" Whats she going through? She is picking wether to go to cosmetic school or just stay home for another year. I don't like my mom, she forgets about me all the time no matter where. She forgot me at the Airport, Grocery Store, and etc. and her excuse?"your sister needed me to pick her up." yea, thats fair. I just hate my mom I can't really stand her. I work on Laundry,cleaning every room in the house, outside,on my homework,at my job, just to get her approval and she just ignores me, I feel like she has made me hate her. She doesn't really let me be who I am, Im a girl, but I like video games, and building stuff. But she forces me into the mall and into stores like pac sun then she just says" no you can't pull it off like your sister"… Gee….thanks… I rather spend my time at Game stop. I don't like my mom. I don't like to be around her, and I hate that she wants me to be my sister.

Well, my brother is 20 years old. He studies visual arts in university... I offered him to study this field of study because he didn't know what he wanted to study! I'm 30 years old and I'm his sister. I've raised him... Our parents died in an accident 10 years ago... I was shocked because of my parents' death but i gradually got used to my life. My brother used to be a happy boy, but suddenly after our parents' death he became too quite and recluse. He's really handsome and good looking and many girls in his university want to have a relationship with him but he ignores all of them! When i ask him: "Why don't you talk to these girls?" He says:"I like meek girls! Noun of them are meek!"... But I've seen many good girls between his classmates. Anyway, sometimes he goes to the bathroom and he stays there hours crying. He's very depressed! Every night, before he wants to sleep he listen to our mom's lullaby which he has recorded. He doesn't have any friends. I've taken him to various psychologists but he doesn't want to help his self...

Ok so i was taking a shower and i assumed that the door was locked because i always lock the door, and i knew my brother had a couple friends over. when i got out of the shower i was just standing in the mirror you know washing my face and brushing out my hair with nothing covering me at all. The door swung open and my brothers friend (16) came in and saw me butt *** naked. i couldnt even move an inch, much less cover myself because i was so freaked out. he was staring at my boobs and my vagina and i screamed pretty loudly and my brother and the rest of his friends all came in to the bathroom to see what was going on. They all saw me completely naked and lowkey were getting hard. my brother told them to get the f*** out of the room and was like "WHAT THE F*** THATS MY LITTLE SISTER" im so embarrased and i can hear them talking about it right now. what do i do!!!!

He wants nothing to do with me he only care about my sister. He even left family at a point and moved back in. I'm not perfect but he isn't there for me he is a terrible dad. Family is dysfunctional and worst thing is we live together. I am ready to move out but even when i move out it still want solve anything is this dysfunctional family. This has intervened with work.

I become so embarrassed if i make a mistake, i never knew i was so sensitive. How can i just accept that accidents happen?? I have a hard time doing so, my confidence just becomes shattered and i feel as though everyone rather hates me for doing wrong or laughing at me. I was always this way. My grandma would chastise me for doing something 'the wrong way', even something simple as putting on a jacket i would do wrong to her. It would hurt my feelings and make me feel simple.

My parents are always saying mean stuff about me but act like I m the bad person (I ll admit I m no perfect child, like I ll talk back sometimes), but my mom is always saying how much she hates me and how I m never gonna get a man, she treats my older brother like a prince ...gives him everything he wants and if I even dare to ask for something I get the evil eye, my dad is a loudmouth jerk ...he ll smile at you in person and act all friendly but he s always talking sh*t about someone, and he s always spilling all of our business to everyone even people he just met. My parents argue everyday and every night, it ll be 3 in the morning and you can hear them from across the street. I m 16 and I get no freedom, they re overprotective *** heck and they have no trust in me U can t take it anymore, my mom even said that even when I go to college I m not allowed to live on my own ...she s planning to move to where my college is at just so that she can control me I just feel like I m suffocating, PLEASE HELP

Dated in hs. No sex since she claimed she was a virgin and wanted to wait. I hinted many times but she'd still say she won't put out. She soon left to college so we broke up. I'd then see pix of her dirty dancing, sitting on dudes lap, drinking on facebook. A year later she moved back home because she missed everyone. She then calls me to grab food. We met up and began to kiss. I asked if she dated anyone? She said nothing serious. I asked how far she got sexually and she wouldn't answer it (playing dumb). I re-asked and she covered her ears, started singing a song to avoid my question. I then admitted i only slept with one girl. She got mad & said "So just one huh hotshot". She then dumped me. Why didn't she wanna tell me??? Other then it's none of my biz of course. It matters because she did pause us and now is trying to resume like nothing. I didn't just meet this girl so it does matter we have history.

I live in a Vietnamese family, and I have a cousin who is in 8th grade. She lives with her mother (my aunt) and our grandfather -- her father left shortly after she was born. For one, their house smells terrible even by Asian standards, and the smell permeates their clothing and belongings, so she is picked out at school for her hygiene. Her grandfather is somewhat mentally troubled after years of abuse in a POW camp. He is a terrible driver, and constantly gets crashes and citations for minor things like running red lights and veering off the lane. He has a terrible sense of cleanliness and is a hoarder -- he uses his own fecal matter to fertilize his garden, has given us food on styrofoam trays originally used for raw meat, and has given the rest of the family food poisoning on many occasions. My cousin did really well in elementary, but is now struggling in junior high. She doesn't follow a lot of social norms, is afraid of people coming to her house, and often waits for dozens of minutes after school ends so that people won't see the way her family acts. Yet, I'm really reluctant to help out. Child services did a small investigation for physical abuse after my younger cousin bruised herself in a car accident, and didn't go any further -- thanks to my parents, who helped avoid most of the conflict. I know that my parents would not approve of me calling them, and my cousins would be torn if they were taken into custody. What should I do?

I'm 21 years old and I have a 3 year old son. I have a steady job at a bank make decent money and have a lot save up. Recently I brought up the Idea of moving out to my parents and they seemed ok at first but now they kind of get bugged at the fact that I'm getting excited to go. It makes me upset because this is a huge thing for me and I'm wondering if they don't support me. Any tips or advice or similar stories??

So here's the thing I really tried to make a good relationship with her son 8 years old but the kid is a turd. He tares up my house he doesn't listen to anything I say to point of breaking things he no longer listens to his mother because he is starting to get bigger than her... Christmas all he did was say his presents all sucked then the day after Christmas he insisted he was going to hook up the wii I bought for him and his sister I asked him not too when he started to move my 60 LED off its stand I flipped.. I told his mother I wasn't going to put up with it that's when he looked at me and told me I needed to get "crap in my mouth" I then told her I was done he needed to go.. Now I am getting a reaction from all her friends that I am some kind of a jerk and I should just deal with it all... Keep in mind she gets NO support from the kids father and she hasn't worked in 6 months I have paid for everything... Should I really feel bad about telling her that I wont deal with this anymore and he can either live with his father all they can all pack up and go, she also has a 5 year old daughter I get along with great.

I'm 17 and she is 44.She's a teacher.But we're so different. I'm a shy and quiet person,she's not. We think and see the word differently.But we have a think in common:we both get irritated very easily,but she's more tolerant than me.Up to here,nothing bothers me. Here's the thing,I'm not an only child.I have a younger brother,15.My mom cares about him more than me,even though I'm a better kid than him because I study more and I'm more responsible.She never argues with him. When me and him fight, she is always by his side.While I always argue with her before going out.And her alibi is that I dont ask her for permission in advance.Well she's right,I dont because wherever I've tried she has said no,even for going to a near store or shop for buying something I need. And her argument is that I waste my time.So what's left for me to do is to get ready and tell her on last minute and she wont have nothing to do.She never says a word to my brother for this. She so eager to argue with me and to always criticize me. My brother is so immature, and bothers me so often and makes me really angry I cant stand him, I start shouting at him. She sees everything and never says a word to him, beacuse Im the old kid. She turns to me and starts offending me for the shoutings.I know I may look a lout, but believe me the bad things,I've inherited from her.And I may be wrong but I cant find a solution to cope with this kind of parent. I need some adivce, because I cant stand this situation anymore. This text is a mess, but it's not beacuse I'm a bad writer. Its because lowkey I'm so upset.

I've been home from college for about two weeks now, and I've never seen my older sister empty the dishwasher, but I'll empty it in the mornings if it's still full when I get to the kitchen, and my mom or brother will help me sometimes. Anyway, I was eating breakfast this morning, dishwasher was still full and my sister starts unloading it and berates me for not helping her. When I point out that she's never bothered to help me unload it, she just calls me lazy, says that someone always helps me and that I "only unload the dishwasher when other people are there to watch so I can get praise". She also claimed that when I'm away at school, she's the one who usually empties the dishwasher, which I know to be a lie (mom told me about her), and then she just went to sit down and eat her toast, leaving the dishwasher open and not unloaded completely. I just finished sting breakfast and left. I'll put my dishes up after she finishes what she started with the dishwasher. Eating*

I cook, clean, and am hardly ever home yet she wants more from me. please help... Dontay Maurice williams

i'm 16 and i have a 12 year old brother and during school holidays when our parents go to work we have to go to our grandma every single day because they won't let me be alone. I don't mind staying at my grandma's but I'm worried about how I'll be able to live by myself and cook and stuff like that if i don't even get the opportunity to practice... this summer they let me be alone for 2 days in 2 months. my brother is very attached to parents and he's VERY irresponsible and immature but i don't think i am. and now i feel like I'm such a failure that I can't be trusted to be by myself for a few hours. tell me is this normal for a 16 year old to be like that ? when I'll have to do it i won't be able to take care of myself because of this.. I'm sure that's too overprotective?

Room why scream at your adult daughter i feel as if i can't get a job and they tell me that i wouldn't be able to work anyways because i have social anxiety and can't talk to people i have no job , no place to stay, can't drive and i just want to die i can't stand up to anyone i have no friends and no boyfriend and no one can help me people tell me to grow up when i can't do it

Its all been said and done now. Its wet and messy. Tried lysoling and using a vacuum shampooer. Should I just let go and feel safe? I mean I would honestly toss the bed, but I been borrowing it from my mother...and she knowing it refuses to let the mattresses itself go after such disgusting acts. I mean us germaphobes might over exaggerate what is and what isn't germy or how much cleaning is needed...but ****...!?

today i got into a fight with my parents and they were blaming me for something that wasn't even my fault. i started shouting at them to give me the explanation why they're punishing me for nothing and i got a typical because i said so response which makes me extremely mad. i went into my room and i couldn't control myself and i literally started beating myself up and then stabbing myself in my arm with a pen until it began to bleed. if i weren't by myself i could have hit my parents or something i probably wouldn't be able to control myself and it happened a few times before.. this is so weird I've been like this for a few months but only when I'm angry because of my parents ..do i have some anger issues or what could be wrong with me?

my mom is just his mistress. But my mom is not the type of mistress you think about like in movies. she's a good person and mother, and as my dad's mistress, she don't always complaining, or something like the mistress that you think does. I heard that she was forced to follow with my dad because she was pregnant(me). I have a fear of my dad's family. My dad has 6 children that are bigger than me 10,20s years old, 3 male, 3 female. I scare of them cause the hit my mom when i was a child. i want to leave this family so bad, i intend to apply scholarship so i can leave them. But without my mom? it's impossible. how could i leave my mom alone? Now, my dad is almost 60 years old and has diabetes. He's bad tempered, and i think he don't dote me so much. He always says that his wife's children is more capable than me, smarter than me. I met my dad's younger daughter, she looked at me like she wanted to eat me. I was a child and i'm so afraid of her. Then i don't want to see her again. I want to leave this life, it feels like i'm living in hell, it's suffering. sometimes i would cry silently.... Biff : sometime with us, and sometime with his family. I think my dad didn't know it, they came to our house and start arguing with my mom. I don't remember too muchh

For example, this morning I woke up and came downstairs and he asked if I wanted oatmeal. I said no thanks (it's like 8! So early) and sat down and he came up to me with this huge bowl of it with tons of sugar on top and I didn't eat it and he started yelling at me. I left the room haha but he does the same thing to my mom. He'll ask if she wants some pizza, she'll say no, and he'll shove it in her face!!!! He does this ALL the time. But it drives me crazy how he does this! What can I do to calm myself down and not get mad at him?

does this boy like me or is he just pretending to like me? ok alittle details, I am friends with his mom for about 12 years we are really close, his mom is not really the mother type, I buy and do most stuff for him and his sister. I have been aroundher son since he was 11 I'm in my late 20's and we got really close I was like a father/friend figure to him.hes now 15, everything was fine up until a year an half ago he went to camp and a week later he was an a$$hole and very rude. I know teenage boys are smart asses but I mean damn I get the lash of most of it. I do everything for him and he says he loves me and he is sorry and he will change but he hasn't as of yet. he doesn't really want to do anything when he comes over( she gets him every other weekend, and she lives with me) but stay on his phone watching youtube or play 1 player video games. he talks VERY rudely to me and I have dispicld him for it, but he still does it. he will be nice one min and then a jerk the next. it seems like everything I say to him he analyzes it and finds something wrong with it and start an argument. I am at my wits end, I love him and his sister and I would do anything for them but ....(I will edit my post and add the rest it tells me I have to many charterers. Update: damn I don't know what to do. I have talked to him and told him how I feel and he says hes sorry I will try and change(which he doesn't) or he will be a smartass and tell me to grow up and deal with it and don't be a baby. I want to slap the sh!t out of him but I am not his parent and the mom wont do anything except for yell at him and make him stand in the corner for 10 mins(like he's 5). like I said we used to be REALLY close and now its like hes only around me to get stuff.

I honestly dont know why. He is 17 and im 13, four year difference. I have two other silblings who are 19 and 20 which i get alone i with fine. Some arugments with the older ones but nothing with hatered. Now back to my 17 year old beother we deeply HATE eachother anything we say or do is with love or caring. Example number one : last night it was almost 12:30 AM i was trying to sleep and my brother was playing a video outside of my bedroom which i nice asked him to stop and he said "***** go back into your room i can do whatever i want" i quietly went back to my room and call my mom thats works night shift. I simply asked him to turn it off and he snapped back at me. Now i think this might have to do also with the fact we use to fight ALOT he would always end up hitting me or slapping me really hard whenever i was only 10 or 11(this has stopped since i started fight back at around 12) . He swears in front of my mom and NOTHING is done about it, we all swear(not in ftont of our mother) but he has no respect. He is always trying to blackmail me with my social media that i deleted so long ago but he doesnt believe me. My other two silblings have noticed how much we hate each and my older sister has even given me advice. What should i do?

I don't know what to do. My older sister and mom do not get along at all. They fight everyday and are down each other's throats 24/7. They fight about anything and everything you can think of. My dad and I are always the bystanders whenever they fight and both of us don't want to jump in because we hate drama. I've told my mom that her and my sister need to get counselling but she just ignores what I say. Does anyone know any other way to get them help ? It's really becoming a headache for all of us.

Just wondering because its pretty much the same thing that goes on the dad gets mad for nothing serious and breaks everything and jessies friend corn is always recording and sometimes people act like he isnt there with the camera so is it real or fake??

My mom is a nurse and works 12 hour shift from 7 am-7 pm and during this time she does not let me go anywhere since I've been on punishment because I have 3 Cs in my grades. So I've been doin extra credit in the classes I'm failing and my mom said that if I do all my work I can go to my cousins house and have a day away. I was so excited and I did all my work and by the time I finished she said I can't go and that I have to do work around the house. I was so mad I just cried. I feel like I'm starting to get depressed, I haven't left the house since winter break started and I have no siblings and she took my phone away!!! All I do is cry and sleep, Idk what to do. Someone please help me

My family and I decided to take a week vacation, but instead of it just being me, my brother, and my parents, my grandma and my dog came too. It's normal for my dog to come, but my grandma is a whole different story. She complains and gossips 24 hours a day, and what's even worse is that she constantly insults every single one of us, but my mom still worships her and if she wants to do something, she gets to do it, no matter what. So far it has been exactly how I thought it would be. Every time my brother or I even suggest doing something small, my mom snaps back with "you're just being selfish" or "you guys are acting like little brats (I'm 16 and he's 20). So, today we had planned to go to a theme park, but they say only spending 5 hours there is enough time, but with it being possibly packed, everyone knows that roller coasters can take hours to wait on. So, my brother and I suggested we leave earlier and spend the whole day there, so that we can see the light show at night. However, our 4 year old dog is staying alone and even though he's held the need to go out for 11 hours before, they think he wont be able to hold it in for 8 or 9. Of course my mom calls us selfish little brats for suggesting this, saying that all we care about is ourselves all the time. This is the only time my mom has called me this, with my grandma coming with us this time. Like I said, my grandma always gets to pick and choose where we go, and so do my parents. How is this fair? I'm almost and adult, and my brother is one, so how are we selfish for suggesting ideas or things we think the rest of the family will enjoy? *This whole trip is the only time my mom has called us selfish. Do you really think it's because of my strict grandma's presence? I just wish I could enjoy this trip.

My mom is turning 40 this January and I wanted to make her a bunch of things. I already bought her some bath salts but I still want to make her stuff. She likes simple stuff and she's not into stuff like mani's and pedi's if that's what you're thinking. Thanks for the help! :)

Whenever I go to them with a problem, they make themselves the victims, or they pretend it doesn't exist. When I told them about my self harm problem, they literally just said "stop it". They haven't asked me once about how I am now - little do they know I'm still doing it because of them. I told them about getting molested by my younger brother. Prior to this I've been asking about my own room, seeing as my brother and I have to share one. Before they said yes, but now, suddenly, after I told them about my brother "we can't afford it". My mom always does this. Her life revolves around making me upset. This morning, I came downstairs feeling a little upset because of the situation and I didn't even say anything to her. All she did was stare at me and say in a clearly annoyed tone "what's the issue now" and she continued to mock me about it. These are just a few examples about what my parents are like. I just can't deal with their sh*t anymore. What do I do?

A person who missed out from attending a feminization program was permanently blacklisted from attending such programs by his father who took my siblings to such event. And now my dad has been very inclined at bossing, scolding and blaming me for everything unless he can come up with any reason to give me the silent treatment. He has also, from his new beliefs, told such moderators to exclude me since I'm "rebellious and condescending" when it was one of my siblings who attended is that. I'm a non-violent, non-condescending, non-rebellious child of the family. It just so happens that I missed out from attending where my dad now sees me as the opposite according to his new beliefs

I don't know well I do a lot of stupid stuff so maybe that's why idk

She is 6 years older than me and is a doctor. We have always had a somewhat of a good relationship but we haven't seen each other for almost a year. Should I surprise her at work? And if so how? We both play guitar if that helps, should I come in playing guitar, or what? She's a pediatrician

We are twins, but FRATERNAL. My parents told me that when we were 6, my sister got a virus that caused her to lose her sight and hearing senses (exactly what happened to Helen Keller). I have learned sign language so that is how I communicate with her (by spelling the words into her hands). We are both 14 now. She can't speak yet, but I can tell she is trying. I am just very curious as if I am going to inherit any of this? Since we are twins, why didn't it happen to me too? Also, do you know anything else I can do to help her learn to speak clearly? She does have a regular teacher who lives in our house, and I like to observe the lessons to see what I can do. I really love my sister and I want her to have the best life she can in these conditions. Thank you :)

They are all, sorry for saying that, ******* assholes. I try to be the best that I can for them, I never try to hurt them, I always want to make them happy, but they always get me wrong. I'll give some examples. My aunts are the worst! One of my aunts is pregnant and we came over for 2 weeks and I always do the dishes, clean the house, try to make her happy and she's all like 'thank you i love you' but if I should do one single mistake she goes up to my mom and is like 'your daughter is terrible, she will never reach **** in life, she has no manners' and OF COURSE I get pissed. And then she's like "what is that for a daughter you have gets stressed out for everything!" And all my other aunts are basically the same and my uncles are even worse. One doesnt even talk to us anymore. My cousins are ******* goats who just smoke, do drugs, never ask anyone how they are, just care about themselves. My whole family kinda shuts my mom and me out bc she's their stepsister, and they havent called us for probably more than 2 years now, only my pregnant aunt but only bc shes pregnant and needs some attention. I hate a of them, except of my mom bc i'm actually really sorry for her. I never want to talk to anyone in my family, I just do because my mom loves them, but they always do her wrong but she still forgives them which I dont understand. All i ever wanted was a normal family who would love me and call me, but they never do. Should I just stop talking to them?

I'm suicidal. I am trying to be strong. I'm not going to die. But if there comes a day where I can't be strong will my 6 year old cousin be okay. I'm 17 and she always has me do her makeup and play dress up with her. She loves it when we play with her dolls. Would she be okay if I died? I want to know how she would be affected. I have to look after my baby cousin before anything. She already lost her mom when she was 3 and I helped her understand. So if she lost me too would she be badly affected?

Hi I three daughters 14, 13, and 9 years old. This afternoon my daughters Jessica, and Veronica convince their little sister Jessica by teasing her that she's adopted, because she doesn't have red hair. Both her sisters have red hair! Her older sisters convinced her that she's so different from the rest of the family; the way she looks, acts, behaves, the way his parents treat her, etc. that there no other explanation for it than she must come from different parents...thus less loved. She was so upset. Upset that she's different, upset that her parents never told him the truth and finding out this way, and ultimately upset that she's adopted. prompting Sarah to run away from home. Yes we got very worried till we got a home call from the mom of one her friends who lives a few blocks away. No she's not aloud to leave the front yard with out his sisters or me, and my husband. At the moment she's still their, and doesn't want to come home even after I told her on the phone he did nothing wrong. Just like most kids his older sisters love to torment their little sister. This time it got out of hand, and I don't know who is to blame my daughter for running away, my husband thinking it's funny, or his sisters for teasing her again? I'm tried of having my buttons pushed someone is getting in trouble this time even if I have to ground the kids.

Earlier last year my brother informed me that I should try to find my own place. Because he was having another baby. At this time my mom told me not to worry she was moving back down and so was my sister and her boyfriend. So all set out on getting a place together. My sister and her boyfriend decided to move back and not stay. I found a roommate but my mom suggested we get a place together. I alone put all the money that i had to get us the apartment that she wanted. Right now i am so far in debt. Im considering that i end my lease and get a dorm at college. its my senior year in college and i don't want to be stressed out. i don't want to mess up my future. Is this wrong of me? That i need to tell my mom she needs to find another place to live?

And being stuck at my dad's house. He's moving away and in return my brother and his wife are moving in. I don't like dealing with either one of those because my dad is a passive aggressive person towards me and doesn't care about me much. Where my brother may or may not try and control the house or want to kill me. I can't explain who I am except that I'm the Kevin mccaluster of my family. Or malcolm from Malcom in middle. I get treated like ****, and happen to be pretty damn smart but I'm also very much insane which is ok imo. Just now I went to leave a note that say: I'm glad everyone hates me. 8D...... I've always been left on the railroad tracks by everyone else, and they wonder why I act so cold and unappreciative of everything. I csnt wait until I have a wife and kids and I'll never have to see these people again.

So I'm 17 male and share a room with my 14 year old bro cuz we have not many rooms in the house. I don't know what he eats but he farts like every single day, nonstop throughout the night. I tell him to stop but he just farts louder, and it stinks up the room/. We eat the same food every day yet I never fart. Why wont he stop!? Dad says to just deal with it and my bro just laughs every time he does it

does this boy like me or is he just pretending to like me? ok alittle details, I am friends with his mom for about 12 years we are really close, his mom is not really the mother type, I buy and do most stuff for him and his sister. I have been aroundher son since he was 11 I'm in my late 20's and we got really close I was like a father/friend figure to him.hes now 15, everything was fine up until a year an half ago he went to camp and a week later he was an a$$hole and very rude. I know teenage boys are smart asses but I mean damn I get the lash of most of it. I do everything for him and he says he loves me and he is sorry and he will change but he hasn't as of yet. he doesn't really want to do anything when he comes over( she gets him every other weekend, and she lives with me) but stay on his phone watching youtube or play 1 player video games. he talks VERY rudely to me and I have dispicld him for it, but he still does it. he will be nice one min and then a jerk the next. it seems like everything I say to him he analyzes it and finds something wrong with it and start an argument. I am at my wits end, I love him and his sister and I would do anything for them but ....(I will edit my post and add the rest it tells me I have to many charterers. damn I don't know what to do. I have talked to him and told him how I feel and he says hes sorry I will try and change(which he doesn't) or he will be a smartass and tell me to grow up and deal with it and don't be a baby. I want to slap the sh!t out of him but I am not his parent and the mom wont do anything except for yell at him and make him stand in the corner for 10 mins(like he's 5). like I said we used to be REALLY close and now its like hes only around me to get stuff.

My brother is a HUGE druggie and he brought home this girl tonight who is tripping out of her mind like she was having trouble walking down the straight hallway into his room. and I realized that shes in my a few of my classes at school. we are in the same grade but i don't know her well i only know her first name. my brothers a senior and me and her are sophomores. long story short i can hear them having sex in the room next to me. my parents are out of town and i don't know what to do?

This is a long post but I don't know how much I can condense it. I'm 21 and my sister is 23. We are both currently going to university in Auckland, New Zealand. Back one day in 2004, my mum and dad took us all out for a picnic and my dad told us that him and my mum would be separating. They had been viciously arguing with each other over about the last prior to this. My sister and I could do nothing but just hide away and hope that they would stop. This was obviously quite hard to deal with since I was only 9 at the time. However, even though they separated, they still continued to live together, in separate rooms in the house. But for a while my dad spent many nights living in an apartment that he owned, but he sold that in 2010 and has been living at home with us since then. In 2012, my dad dropped a bombshell when he told us that he had a 2 and a half-year-old son (now 6) with another woman who he had had an affair with making him and my sister our half brother. It quickly became obvious to me as to why my parents had separated in the first place (I always had my suspicions, but they were never confirmed). I have still never met him. His other son and his mistress live in Singapore (his mistress used to live in NZ but she later moved). So my dad has been making around 5 trips to Singapore to visit him every year since then. I just spent Christmas with my mum, dad and sister and my parents actually got along quite well. However, my dad shortly after told us that he would flying to Singapore tomorrow (December 30th) and staying for 10 days. My mum finally reached breaking point and said that she can't take it anymore, competing for attention from my dad with his other son. She said that when my dad leaves tomorrow, he will not ever be coming back to our house. My mum does not work. She has been financially supported by my dad for my whole life, which is a very large reason as to why she has stayed with him despite what he's done. We are in a rented house now until August while our new house gets built. However, it's now unlikely that any of us will be moving into it and it will instead be sold and we will all be going our separate ways. As I said, I'm 21 and my sister is 23 and when we are finished with university we should be expected to get our own places to live anyway. It's just hard to think that yesterday I thought we all had some sort of future together and now we're all going to have separate lives after August when our rented house contract is up. My concerns: 1. How will my mum cope on her own? She wants to become a veterinary nurse and I will of course support her but I'm just really worried that she'll struggle to make a life of her own. - How will my dad cope? Even though this is mostly his fault, I don't know how he'll cope on his own either. Even though he is the one paying our rent, he is respecting my mum's wishes for him to move out until the contract is up. Despite what he had one, I'm still going to feel very guilty about him paying the rent for our family house while he's not even welcome in it and will have to find some other place for himself. Again, sorry for such a long post. I normally write better than this, but I'm not in any state to be putting in the effort to create a good piece of writing. Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this post and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don t get me wrong, he will often say that he loves me, he makes sure I am healthy, he pays for university (I am 20) and in all other ways he is a great dad. But what bothers me is that he has a running joke of how much of an "idiot" I am - I study at a top university in London where 60% is considered the minimum respectable grade to get upon graduation (dad: "Your grade is 64 and they consider you as a student who does well? That s a grade you could get from random guessing it s so low"), I misunderstood part of a story he was telling ("no wonder you go to a university where 60% is a good grade") or I said I read a simplified version of financial news to get myself into the habit of being up to date in finance ("So it s basically news but in terminology for dumber people?"). I hate being talked to like this but if I tell him I m "just being hormonal" and he will always say "your time of the month is coming it seems". What shall I say / do to make it stop?

Also I'm 18 now and have gotten in trouble in the past but not as bad as you would think I'm trying to graduate early so what more do they want from me They want me home but when I am no one talks to me so wtf? I just want to live with my boyfriend which I think would be better for me because my parents are crazy drama and my mother is obsessive just bad energy I don't know what to do this is the only thing that stresses me

I'm 16 years old, and for some reason my 11 year old bro likes my feet. When I take off my shoes he'll get close to my feet and I'd shove them in his face, you know, playfully, and he'd just full-on smell them. It kinda weirded me out. When I was barefoot, I tested my theory and jokingly asked him to lick them and...he obeyed. I told him he wasn't allowed to do it but he wanted to keep going and I kinda liked the feeling, so he licked my feet for a while. I even told him to lick in between the toes and to make sure my feet were shiny and clean. Since we both like this...can it continue? I'm male by the way though that doesnt really matter

Okay so my parents get sloppy drunk when they have free time and have always done this for as long as I can remember. I should be used to it but I could never. It's embarrassing and every time I confront them drunk or sober, they always use the excuse "but we pay the bills" or "you don't even do anything around the house". They always switch it up on me when they are the real problem. People take advantage or there drunkenness, and when they get sober they act like they didn't act like crazy drunk people the night before. And one annoying thing is every single time my step dad goes out most of the time he buys alcohol. Wow I'll never understand, but it's quite stressful thinking my friends don't have to go thru this and I'm alone in this situation. I also have a little brother and sometimes they even drink and drive with him. I'm sooo outraged. I've honestly had enough. I don't like them sometimes, thinking about the stupid gongs they've done while intoxicated. I hate alcohol and I never even want to drink it it scares me. Please help me cope, any advice on how to make them quit please. I don't deserve this :( I'm 15 and a female if that helps

Is it normal to feel this way? There are times when I'm cool with her but most of the time we do not get along and this time she took it too ******* far. We went on vacation to celebrate a week early for my birthday and she totally ruined it I was crying to security because I lost her and my sister because she's an irresponsible b*tch and left us somewhere so she can go gamble with no phones or anything and she cussed me out really bad on the phone when it wasn't even my fault. I really hate her I'm 17 and I just want to freakin move out she makes me miserable she totally ruined my vacation I burst out crying

I m 18 and my mom makes me feel trapped. She s such a control freak. I can t do ANYTHING I still have to ask her permission to go out with my friends, I can t talk to anyone on the phone without her asking me who it is, she is also really lazy, she won t do anything! Her excuse is that she works, I mean I get it but I work too and but everytime I refuse to do something and I mean EVERYTIME she says the exact same thing "I get you anything you want and you can t do this for me." Also I find it weird that she keeps referring to herself as mommy even in front of my friends or in front of anyone. Also she has to look good no matte r what even if the event or whatever is not about her I mean one time my older sis threw me a birthday party for my 16th birthday here comes my mom with her hair and makeup all done taking to everyone and making it more about her and I hate that she lies to a bunch of people like "oh me and my daughter likes to do this out that all the time" like I said she doesn t do a single thing if she does its to make her look good and if I do anything that "embarrasses" her she ll give me a dirty look and before I was 18 she would always threaten to ground me for stupid stuff like I can t even joke around with the woman or my friends without "Do you want to get grounded?" And she acts so innocent and stuff with her friends all smiley and stuff. Ugh she makes me want to cry all the damn time because she s also so bitchy if I don t do what she wants me to do

Ok so I'm 15 years old turning 16 in June and one of my friends is throwing a massive party for New years and half my year is going! My original plan was to have a sleepover round there house aswell with some other friends. My parents won't let ne go because they said that this is 'family time's nd I should stay with them. But I have never been to a new years party before. My parents are Filipino so new years is kinda important. .. how do I convince them, I really really want to go!!

Last summer, I found out that my dad had a girlfriend a little bit before I was born and they had a son that's only a few months younger than me. I talked to my half-brother ' s mom toward the end of summer in august of this school year and she told me that she would tell him soon and contact me. However, she's given me the impression that she'll try to avoid the entire situation. I haven't heard from her since that day in august, and I thought about contacting her at the begining of summer in 2016 and asking about if she's told him and when she will. It kills me every day that I haven't met my half brother, and j hope to see him soon when he lives so close to me. My thoughts keep me up all night and not I'm debating whether or not I should contact her now or during the summer... and how should I convince her to tell my half-brother about me when she's afraid of my dad and I have no contact with my dad?

my mom has been sleeping on a couch every night for the past 3 months, they don t wear their rings anymore(they sit on my dads counter on his bible) and I even asked my mom why she sleeps on the couch and told me its none of my business and I even asked her if she loved my dad and she said that that s not something she wantst to talk about right now. what does this mean?

My 10 year old has been sleeping in our bed the last three months. We put her in bed with her sister, and for a while that worked. Then she started sleeping on a blowup mattress on our floor. After about a month of that she started sleeping with us at night and we haven't been able to get her to go back to her sisters room. One night my wife and I put her in bed with her sister and she sobbed at our door for three hours and her siblings woke up so we gave in. Please help?

does this boy like me or is he just pretending to like me? ok alittle details, I am friends with his mom for about 12 years we are really close, his mom is not really the mother type, I buy and do most stuff for him and his sister.

I get the impression that my dad doesn't like my personality. I prefer having fun over deep philosophical thinking, and my dad is the opposite. My dad sits around on his *** over-analyzing everything about life and telling me what's important in life. He's just preaching to the choir- I know what's important, but I also choose to have fun and be positive. I'm a good student, but I have an undying passion for sports, and I love watching sports on weekends. I'm also bisexual, and he doesn't like it when I show my "feminine side" (I'm male). When I move out of the house (I'm 18) and get a job after college, I don't intend to stay in contact with him. He is easily the most insufferable person I've ever dealt with. In spite of his financial support for me, his emotional support (which is more important to me) is so lacking it's not even funny. I hate my dad to no end, and I can't wait to be away from him. My dad doesn't hit me or anything like that, but he doesn't make an effort to have an emotional connection in my life. I hate him because of it. Am I wrong in feeling this way?

Hi. I want to change my full name (first, middle and last) but my parents don't think it's a good idea but they won't tell me why. I have numerous problems with my current name. 1. It doesn't fit well with my personality 2. It doesn't really work well for a genderfluid person (like meee) 3. I want a less ethnic sounding name 4. I like to make YouTube videos but I hate using my real name because it's hard to spell and it's not catchy 5. My name is hard to say, spell and it causes confusion quite often. I'm willing to pay the $135 for it to be changed. I don't understand what my parents problem is
