Im 17 and my stepdad is an ex contractor and my mom works in the medical field. For years now they have expected me to give up any fun in my life and help them. They wouldn't let me hang with friends over the weekends and if i did they would always complain or guilt trip me into helping them instead and i would either constantly have to babysit or help with anything they do. Almost every single day The past month and weekends I've done yard work or built patio structures and had no free time Recently we have done some renovations to the house and I have helped and gotten paid very well. But i am just having spring break now and told them I to do something fun like go to the beach with my friends but they got mad at me for "never wanting to help" and being an argumentative self centered kid. my step dad can be a piece of work himself but thats not the point. What do i do moving on, let them keep telling me im a bad kid(like they do everymorning) or stand up to them or not? im not self centered i help them all the time but they always tell me how im not gonna basically be anything in life because i dont help them. Just need some advice

ok so i dont know how to speak my own language and my grandparents only know how to speak that one language, so every time they visit i cant say anything or hold a conversation with them.. just basically smile and laugh. and the most annoying thing is that my parents always look at me like its MY fault that i cant speak it. isnt it theirs?? they were supposed to teach me as a child but they didnt. i REALLY dont see how they can say its my fault. im just so sick of them giving me looks that show theyre disappointed i cant speak or something. its so annoying. i would LOVE to be able to speak my own language but i cant. i tried to learn and i totally suck at the pronunciations. im 16 and this is just getting really annoying for me lol.

She's 15 and we live in the UK so the legal drinking age over here is 18. I'm 30 years old and a guy. We've always been really close and open with each other; we've never had an argument either but I guess that's most likely to do with the age gap. Anyway, she's staying with me until my mum comes back from travelling and she told me she was seeing her boyfriend and two of her other friends. I've always trusted her because she's always been sensible. Well an hour ago, I got a call from my sister asking me to come and get her so I did. She was hammered; she couldn't stand up, I had to carry her to my car and do her seatbelt up. We got home and I sat her down and asked her what was wrong and why she'd done it as this is so out of character for her. She said, "Me and Michael had sex and then he just dumped me straight after!" So I was a little taken a back but so pleased that she felt like she could come to me and talk to me about this. I hugged her and was like, "It's ok he's just an immature guy... Don't worry everything will be ok I promise". So she just had a cry whilst I was comforting her and she was saying stuff like, "Sam I thought he loved me" so I shushed her and explained to her about teenage guys and what they're like and how selfish most of them are. We are now watching to and she's really tearful and buried in my chest. I don't know what to say to make it a bit better and I don't know what I'm supposed to do! I feel like I've done a **** job in protecting her

I want to buy warm nice blankets for elderly homeless, in the other hand I do not wish to help my husband's sister's family. They have few children but they are not responsible, we buy a house for rent ( oh well mainly my husband's money) hopefully make some money for us, but they often don't pay us with an excuse poor and wait until they can get tax refunds. I just hate those people. I don't think they really deserve any help so I don't talk to them. I lended his folks money, the money I had before we got married, seem like I'm still a stranger to them; therefore, I no longer try to impress, being cold hearted while they need something. I am not sure if they have paid me back yet because they always pay my husband $100 couple month and he put in our bank account like he said. I loaned them like $3,500 but I didn't notice they have paid me back? Shouldn't they pay me directly? I got pissed off about this too. I feel like they don't respect me?

I just got news that my father passed away and I was in school when I got the news. I'm 16 and not really close to my dad, he was cheating on my mom and they got a divorce when I was 10. When my sister told me what happened I broke out in tears and had an anxiety attack, but after 30 minutes I stopped crying and really didn't feel anything anymore and I'm super calm, is there something wrong with me because I'm not as sad as my other siblings?

So my sleep away camp is having their annual camp cleanup this weekend. Problem is my parents don't have time to take me. How can i convince them to let me go with a friend? I have been going to this camp for 5 years counting this summer, meaning I get a five year hoodie. They give them out after your 5th year coming to camp. I really want to help out my camp community. But another issue is I got 2 D's on my progress report and my room is messy. The reason i got 2 D's is because i turned things in late and I did not do too hot on a few quizzes. I thought if I clean my room and get the one assignment i am missing done they might let me go. What do you think of my plan? If you don't think my idea will work let me know what you think will work. Thanks p.s my camp is two hours away each direction.

FAMILY THREAD- THE AGE AT WHICH WOMEN HAVE kids determine their ability to have a family. women in their 20s consider having children to be a burden. The are low income, no assets, less understanding of the world, may be in college, and tied up. They cant have kids. BUT WHEN WOMEN HAVE KIDS AGE 35 AND UP. the pregnancy is much more likely to have complications. THE BABIES WILL END up being born with mental, medical, food, and other defects. BUT TOO LATE OF HAVING KIDS IMPACT FAMILY FORMATION

when we were having house problems the guy messed up fixing it so they are giving a bunch of money to us she wants to pay my college for a part of it but she ignores me a lot so when I go to college and move out someday I don't want her to think she owes me I was going to start being a waitress and work for it after surgery owns me**

I m 17 years old and I live in New York. My mother wants to kick me out for not doing 1 thing she asked and make me move in with my father. my fathers house is dirty he doesnt clean and my creepy cousin is staying there right now, but thats besides the point. technically, if theyre divorced and im legally living with my mother. is she allowed to do this, without atleast filing for it. would it cause her to have to pay child care the way that my dad does because i live with my mom currently? please explain how this works.

I'm 43 and I lost my mom to Alzheimer's. I'm no felt secure and I felt vunerlable and can't even handle the crap out of my dad and my brothers. Do I have any problems?

I was suppose to go see people in Georgia while there on vacation for the week in Bermuda what do I do to change her mind? PLEASE HELP ME

On one hand I don't want to enable but on the other hand I don't know if it is anyone's business

My boyfriend Bill came to my house and I introduced him to my mom. He immediately said "You are so lucky to have a gorgeous mom". Then he said to mom "You look very familiar. Have we met before"? Mom said "no, I don't think so". Bill went home and searched for mom's name on the internet trying to find out if there was some event he was at that mom was at also. He didn't find any but he found several of mom's pictures on the Internet. He found out she was a model and had her picture in several magazines when she was younger. Bill printed out these pictures and gave them to me. I had no idea mom was ever a model or that she had appeared in national magazines. She had never told me anything about this. Was I ever surprised. I want to put these pictures on the wall in my room with a banner that says "My wonderful and beautiful mom". Bill told me to please check with mom before I do that. He said there is some reason she did not tell you she was a model. Can anyone think of a reason mom did not tell her daughter she was a model? I think the pictures of her when she was young are of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life

My mom died when I was 8 years old. It was a hard time for me because I was very close to her. My dad remarried when I was 11 and my stepmother has always tried to be the mom in my life. At first I resented it, and still do a little, but I understood she thought she was doing what was right. I've never felt close to her and am civil and polite where she is concerned. But I've never loved her. I think the relationship could have improved once I was a little older. However, some conversations I had with her made things worse. She found out when I was 15 that she couldn't have her own biological children and felt personally attacked because I wouldn't allow her to become my second/new mom. I have a baby now and things have taken a very bad turn. My stepmother wanted me to set up a photoshoot for the three of us (her, me and my baby) because my partner did it with his dad. When I said I didn't want to do that, she told me I should feel more love for her now that I'm a mom myself. She called me names and said I was ungrateful. But I do appreciate what she did. I just think she shouldn't have tried to take over the mom role completely. I might have grown to love her had she not shown so much disrespect for my mom. My dad isn't really part of this. Our relationship has never been close and he's admitted he never really felt being a dad was for him.

At the end of May last summer we found out my dad was cheating on my mom with a women in Ohio. He works during the weekend and after everything came out he started to work those days then go stay in Ohio until he had to work again. It's been so hard to deal with and I'm still really hurt. I even begged him to stay around here because I didn't want to be that far from him but he brushed me off and did it anyway. The wound is still raw but I was starting to get over it until last week when he told me he would be marrying her (who I haven't met) and that the wedding is in less than a month. He proposed months ago and didn't tell us until now. It's less than a year after we even found out-much less since the actual divorce. They even broke up for two/three months not long ago. I'm meant to meet her tomorrow and I don't want to at all- she knew he was cheating on Mom and told him ways to hide it from her. She's bringing one of her kids to meet me which I am less opposed to but reminds me that my dad is spending a lot more time with someone else's kids than his own and suck. I also heard him telling my mom it's doesn't really matter if I like her because the wedding is happening regardless which hurts too. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to meet them or go to the wedding. It's too soon and that we weren't told until months after really bothers me. I'm in a lot of emotional pain but I'm also scared to draw my line in the sand. I'd like to know what other people think.

He thinks that if I'm not a plumber like all our family has always been, then I will make no money. I got a job as a software engineer making way more than my dad makes and he constantly criticizes me saying that the government is going to make all software engineers try to take over the world with skynet and how he thinks I'm lying about how much money I make. He also thinks my job revolves around writing code for Google and he lectures me about how he knows way more about computers than me because he knows Microsoft word. He says that he will disown me if I don't become a plumber like him.

To make a long story short I had a right sided massive stroke at 28 years old, and because of that have been living with my Parents during rehabilitation. However, I feel that my Mother uses the incident of the stroke against me constantly and I hate Her for it. For example: Today we were discussing going through my underwear drawer to sort out what fits and what doesn't. I know(without trying on) which ones don't work for me, so likely I could just go through them that way. Her, on the other hand firmly believes that I should wear a different pair EVERYDAY to see what fits and what doesn't. Because I'm not as lazy as Her and don't like wasting time, this came off as very inefficient. Therefore, I disagreed with doing that. She then started going off that ever since the whole "brain damage thing," my common sense is all wrong. I feel She uses this all the time against me to be "right," in an argument. Have I mentioned, that academically I've always been smarter than Her and She knows it?

Ok my aunt lived with myself and my grandmother for awhile and we never got along. I hadn't spoken to her in a long time. One day she walks out and never came back. Got word from another relative she moved into a new apartment. It's been three years since she's been gone. What am I suppose to do with her stuff. She left her room loaded with tons of crap.

My mother has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for over 11 years and she always says that she has no place to go if they were to split up. I know that her boyfriend is unhappy and has been for a very long time. My mother has a lot of problems. She has been ill and she is addicted to pain medication. She won't go to bed and she stays up all night and she literally sleep walks....you never know if she'll burn the house down, Etc. One time she accidentally drank bleach while she had an episode.....All of this has put strain on her relationship and she said that she wants to live with me. there is no way in hell that I am going to let her live with me. She has caused so much heart break and she is the source of my anxiety while growing up. I am 24 (the daughter) and I have a 4 year old and I am currently 33 weeks pregnant. My husband of 6 years is in the army and we live in a different state. She guilts me into everything and she makes it seem like she has no one and none of her kids wants to take her in. I have a brother, who she never talks to about this and she puts all of her problems on me- my brother is 29 and is more settled down in life (with no children)!!! Yet she won't go to him! I just can't live with an addict around my kids...but if i tell her this, she yells and screams and tries to mess with my marriage....it's horrible and I hate it.....I don't know what to do. Please help ;(..

Hiya, I'm 17 and about half an hour ago was chatting with my mom and told her I smoke. She told me it's stupid and etc but she said she won't take my cigarettes from me or anything. What do you think is going on? Thanks She smokes too and smoked since the age of 14 btw @MsBittner Maybe so, thanks for your comment. I started smoking in January this year btw and honestly I can stop if I want to but I don't want to. @Chris ok, **** off

She decided she wants to visit her hometown. She is 30 and I am 33. We don't have kids and we've been married for four years. It's been a couple of years since she has been back to see het family. What upset me is her calling me clingy for wanting to go back with her this time. I haven't neen back to China for five years... She is indicating to me that I'd be in the way. But I thought married couples do some travelling together? We don't share activities or leisure because I work full time 50+hrs per week and study a uni degree. She works long hrs in real estate. We have the pressure of making sure we can settle our off the plan unit which is nearly finished. I was upset at being called clingy and decided that she should do her thing and I'll do mine...but that doesn't feel married. What's wrong with my suggestion that I should come with her?

I love my daughter that I don't need her father being the first guy to hurt her. One minutes it's I'm not pay for my daughter... The next I'll send money... One minutes I don't want to see her.. Now it's I want to be in her life. I mean money is not all I need from him I'd be willing to fly her back where I live in another state. If he could only make an effort .

One minute he wants to be best friends the next he physically wants to hurt me he even got a knife out once and said he will "hurt me"

so my problem is my MOM SHE LETTERLY YELLS AT ME BEC OF EVERYTHING anything i do is wrong in her eyes she doesnt trust me, when she's not home she tells me not to open the door to anyone and I MUST NOT GET OUT OF THE HOUSE UNTIL SHE'S BACK tht pisses me off honstly even if i want to buy thing from the market beside out house, i can't :"( i mean what's the point am i going to get raped of killed just by going to the supermarket? i hate this, why can't my mom be less overprotective if i ever had childrens in the futur im never gonna do this to them,also she doesn't let me hang out with my friends alone unless my dad is driving me like i litterly have never been to a place without them being around it sucks, can't she just mind her busniss and ill do the same i mean it's my life not thiers p.s= i am 16 years old

My nephew is 26 and I am his aunt. There is a huge family holiday for a wedding coming up and my nephew is one of the only ones not coming, most couldn't but my nephew says "he didn't have the money at first" he lost his job and I told him to use his welfare money to pay for the holiday but he refused, he looked for a job, got a job and saved his money but he is now too late as all bookings are finished, the holiday is in August 24th and the close of date was April 1st. He is annoyed because at first the close off date was August 1st but it changed and now he feels he is going to miss out on a family holiday since this is was a rare once in a life time thing, I volunteered to go on holiday with him, just me and him but he says he doesn't want people feeling sorry for him, he doesn't have many close friends and could never afford to go on holiday as a child but I think this is all his fault, if he just stayed on welfare and used that money he could be going but he is too stubborn and proud and just had to use his "own" money. He is avoiding all family gatherings as he doesn't want to hear everyone talking about it and feeling sorry for him! Is this justified?! We live in the UK and the holiday is in Paris, if the UK leaves the EU in June it could bump up the price for the wedding and even if the UK stays it is impossible to change anything now

Ever since I was caught smoking weed 2 months ago. I can't go out without my mom messaging me and literally knowing EVERYTHING ABOUT WHERE I AM. I am turning 18 soon and I am considering just leaving her family plan and getting my own phone plan because I believe she's even reading my texts. Are there any apps she could be using to read texts and track my location?? I have find my iPhone on my phone but I turned the location off for it. Is there any apps she could be using as well or even any ways to counter her little surveillance operations?

I'm 6 and from Cali and I'm mexican, I understand the words, but my Father left when I was 5 months old.. Is she thinking about my Dad? 16 I don't know what category to put it in so sorry

I've been married to my wife for 3 years, together for 6. She and I met a year after my divorce. We started out as friends and started dating a couple of years later. It didn't take long for us to decide we wanted to be together, but we kept things at a slower pace before introducing her to my kids. When they met, things seemed to be great and my kids even said they were happy for me when I said I wanted to marry it. It was about a year after we were married that I noticed certain things. I guess I was blind before or maybe I just didn't want to see. But whenever the kids need help with something or are asking for permission to go somewhere, they'll ask me or go to me and not her. They're always looking to spend one on one time with me, which I do anyway. but never her and if she asks if they'd like to do something, they tell her no. It's starting to bother my wife a lot more. They're always polite, but there's no sign of them giving her an actual chance. I did speak to my kids and they said while they're happy for me, they don't want to have a good relationship with her and only want me. I asked them why and they said it's because she's not important. I was a little angry that my kids would dismiss someone who has been nothing but good to them and does her best for them. But then I realized they're teens and it is difficult to want a stepparent. But am I wrong for wanting them to have a better relationship with her? Should I push them more or leave it as it is? We do things as a unit and the kids normally have fun, but still keep their distance.

I have been married to my husband for almost 8 years, together for 10. My MIL appears to be nice in from of her son, but when he is not there, she is intrusive and disrespectful. This has been going on for a decade. She goes out of her way to tell me what I should or shouldn't do, as if I don't have any sense at all, or as If I am helpless child. While I can understand some of that happening as we got to know each other, after a decade, I have finally figure out that she just doesn't like me. I am professional woman with a nice job, fit, responsible, good law abiding citizen, have no vices, keep a tidy home, decent cook and my children are well mannered and clean. We have a happy healthy home. We have no financial or marital issues. Her issue with me is that apparently I am not good enough for her only son, and she rejects my son my previous marriage, which wounds me terribly. She goes out of her way to make me feel as if my son and I are outsiders. She critizices me on everything I do. No matter what I do, it is always wrong, and it needs to be "fixed". I have told my husband, and he does his best to keep the peace, but I don't see her ever respecting me. This have been brought up in the past, but she denies it. I am not an overly sensitive person and have ignored most of her slights and rejection, but I have had it! I don't know what to do. I am not a trouble maker, and I do love her and respect her, and it is sad that those feelings are not reprocicated. Any ideas? We live six states away! But they come over for a week's long stay once or twice a year, and we have big family vacations with them once a year with the entire family. She always has the email to harass me and give me unsolicited advice. Moving further away has provided much needed privacy and peace, but she goes over board every time she sees me (2-3 times a year). What threw me over the edge this time is that I told her we were going to cut a cake for my oldest son HS graduation During the family vacation, and she said that "I should do that with "my own" family". I felt hurt and humiliated. Keep in mind that my husband and I moved away 10 years ago, and his family has lived in the same place forever and we don't get to see his only sibling, our niece and nephew, uncles etc. but once or twice a year. My husband travels for work and won't be here for graduation and we will leave shortly after he comes back to go see them. I have cried over this for 4 days straight.

Hello! So my dad went to India on the 12 April. He promised to call everyday, but has not called yet. He's gone for 17 days. We are worrying about him. What should I do?

She says I should be sticking up for her but he is my Dad.

I have two teenage stepkids (15 and 16). Currently they're living with their mom and have been for the past year. Before that, my husband had shared custody with his ex. I married my husband when the kids were 11 and 12 and things were okay at first. Not perfect, I wasn't expecting perfect, but it certainly wasn't as bad as it has gotten. The kids always seemed to take a lot of anger out on me. They have called me some pretty disgusting things and have tried to get rid of me. My husband did everything he could within reason. He punished them, brought them for counseling, spent extra time with them while they were here, which isn't to say he didn't spend quality time with them before that, but he added extra time to that. He tried talking to them on multiple occasions and demanded they stop acting out while they were with us. None of it worked. And then we found out his ex was suing for full custody, which she won, because the judge said since mom wanted them full time and the kids didn't want to be with us, that they should just stay with her. But he did say he would expect them to see their dad once a month. This didn't happen so my ex went back to court, draining almost all of our savings, and the next judge said once the kids were happy, that's all that matters. It's disheartening and has devastated my husband. He has done everything he can to keep in touch and see his kids. But they refuse to answer the phone now and have slammed doors in his face. Any advice?

By two gay men. They give me everything I ever wanted but they are so distant from me. They always work and we really never talk. And when we do talk, I feel like they are talking down to me like I'm not important. They are middle class and I come from a very poor family. My family never really liked me and so when I was 15 and they had a chance to give me away they did and then right after moved out of state and now my family really doesn't talk to me anymore. I feel very sad. I have no where ales to go. They can be mean like saying that I will get fat if I keep eating the way I do. My style is stupid to them. Maybe it's because I'm trailer trash. I know I don't belong here and they remind me of that everyday. When I try to talk to them about my feelings they are completely unsympathetic. I'm afraid to tell them anything now. If I make one little mistake they try to punish me. I say try because it doesn't work. I've lived in 7 different homeless shelters and we were always living with friends. We were very poor so I'm used to going without. So when they take away my phone it really doesn't help anything. One of them has a temper problem and likes to push my buttons. He's insulted me before. And one day I got tired of it and insulted him back. We got into a big argument but I was the peace maker. I don't know what to do anymore, one of them has told me they hate me and that they regret taking me in. I want to fix it because it's breaking my heart. What should I do?

My mother had always always been bossy and always think she's right. Whenever she is proven wrong, she would get angry and make it look like the person did something wrong. She would always come home nagging and telling us that she hasn't had a rest all day, making it look like it would be wrong for us not to obey her and follow. She would treat us as servants, and even though you did what she asked you to, she'd tell on of us siblings that my sisters or me are lazy and that we're useless. She would physically and verbally abuse us, hitting our arm with a slipper and cursing right in front of us. She thinks that she's really important and if we make the slightest mistake she'd say "For f*ck's sake YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!! I bet that if I die you'd be living in the streets!" She's always wanted us to be in the top, which we succeeded in but isn't enough for her. She keeps on nagging and boasting that we aren't doing good enough and she does too many other things to name. I don't care about her anymore. Some of you may say that I wouldn't know how big of a loss she is til she's gone. But I know for myself that I wouldn't care, even my sisters. I can't imagine me mourning for her, I've had enough. It wasn't my decision to be made by a person that would be abusive Rohit :)

Okay so I wanna study abroad and my Family has no finance problem r/n am doing my O-levels and I was thinking to go abroad for medical University. But her arises the problem my parents don't want me to go. I tried convincing my mom and she's like "We are not open minded people and we don't allow daughters to study abroad alone". I told her she can come with me and she was like "what about your siblings? Stop being so selfish." And then I told her why not send me alone and she kept on repeating her dialogue. I don't want to study in my country not because I hate my country, I love my country but there are some people I would have to face and my mom knows nothing about it and I would love to keep it that way (please don't tell me to tell her). My dad well, I never really talked to him about it but for a fact I know he would have the same opinion as my moms. But I am really determined to make my own future and become a surgeon. I just want to study abroad and I don't know how to convince my strict parents. I have only 4 years. I even thought about scholarship but the problem is even if I get it I won't be allowed to go :(. I want to do it with their approval I just need them to trust me and I wanna do it with their blessings and approval. I need to convince them but how?

My sister for the 1000th time this year has stolen my makeup. The worst thing is, she does it when I'm sleeping. She has a $40 mascara and never lets me use it. I respect her wishes, so it makes no sense why she doesn't respect mine. She stole my $10 mascara, which is travel-sized. Even worse, she's used it so much it's running out faster. It's supposed to last for a long time, she never understands respect and not taking other people's belongings. But if I stole anything of hers, my parents would be on her side of course. Because she's a dancer and she apparently "needs" my mascara, when she already has one. She doesn't even let me use hers. I'm really angry at what she did, what do I do?

When I was really young, maybe 6 years old, I was in the semi with my family. My dad was a trick driver. We were all goofing off but then a hand with a bunch of rings reached or from where my dad was. It grabbed my hands and pulled me a bit but ire did not have a good grasped and I quickly pulled away. I thought my dad was fooling with me so I said something but he swore that it wasn t him... The second time was when I was 7 years old maybe. playing hide and go seek with my cousins and sister. I had ran in my grandma s room and his in her dark closet. I was sitting there trying not to pee, cause we all know that feeling comes when you play hide and seek for some reason. Well I dunno why poor I had looked to my right, in the darkness and by the little light coming in, a plain hand reached for me. I screamed and ram from these closet... No one believed me. B the third time was very different because I didn t see it, but felt it. I was about 14 years old maybe. Me and my little sister was filling around. She had scared me earlier by standing behind the door and crawling on the floor and grabbing me when I wasnt paying attention. She left the room and I m lying down watching so my sister doesn t scare me again. MTT cat walks in and I glance at it and suddenly a clawed hand grabbed my foot, scratching it slightly... My sister was still talking to my mom and the car hadn t moved at all... My question is, what is this and why did it happen?... I would like some insight..

Hello, my name is Micah and I am a 22 year old male, currently living with my boyfriend of 1 year. Three years back I was sexually assaulted and physically beaten by my boyfriend at the time. I ended up with two broken ribs and a broken wrist, as well as multiple wounds in need of stitches and or care from a pocket knife he had. Anyways, while the physical wounds healed and they are all but invisible, I am mentally damaged from it. My current boyfriend now, has been asking about sex and he doesn't know anything about what my ex did to me previously because I am too afraid to tell him. The truth is, I am terrified of intimacy. My ex broke me apart and took away a section of me that I can't get back. When he had sexually assaulted me, I had never had sex previous to that and it had been the most painful, grueling experience I have ever gone through. It was forced and the thought of having sex again completely terrifies me, even though I know my boyfriend now would never do anything to hurt me. It's just..I feel disgusted with myself. I feel dirty and filthy; Like his very essence has become a part of me that I can't wash away or be free from. I feel disgusting and used. Like a Wh*** or a Sl** and it makes me feel like my boyfriend deserves so much better than me. Someone who is clean and pure. Someone other than me. I never talked with him or anyone about what happened and I feel like I need to tell him my reasons for avoiding. How do I get over my fears and talk to him? Help.

I am a 20 year old guy who lives with my single mom(via anonomous sperm donor) and my 2 aunts, who all raised me together. I am 6'2 weighing 200 pounds. But my aunts are 6'5 weighing around 250 pounds and my mom is 6'8 weighing around 300 pounds. Its humiliating to be smaller than my mom and aunts and im embarrassed to go out seen with them. We are going on a family cruise, and they already bought my ticket. I dont want to go cuz its humiliating being shorter and smaller than 3 women in their 50s. My mom says im being ridiculous and said "you are a big guy urself, ur a giant among your friends and peers. You are the man of the family, and are protecting 3 people bigger than you

My wife got a phone call from her sister asking us if we will take in her two daughters whom are consantly in trouble. If they are not in trouble with the police, they are in trouble at home or with the school. They are 15 and 13. The 15 year old is currently serving probation for shoplifting and the 13 year old is currently serving suspension for fighting in school. My wife likes the idea of taking them in. I'm leary of taking them in especially with two nearly four month olds. I said that I wouldn't take them in without at least sending them to a private school in our area. Would you guys take them in and what condiions would you place on them? Also am I wrong in being leary taking them in?

So i have this sleeping schedule when i get home i sleep at 5 for about 3 hour when i get home and then do homework and extracirrculars till about 3-4 in the morning. Then i get to sleep for another 3 hours and go to school. They always say i don't get enough sleep. But then i say i get 6 hours a day and they still don't get it. They don't get that I'm trying to get somewhere with my life and that's why I'm working till early in the morning. They don't get that I'm doing it so i can make them proud with my accomplishments later on in life.

now i come from alabamy with my banjo on my knee

I feel like I shouldn't exist like my parents should have never created me. I feel like I'm so weird and different from everyone else like I shouldn't be here Is this abnormal? My parents got married in 1988, the same year my brother was born. I was born in 1999. My parents broke up in 2006. My mother says she hates my father and regrets wasting almost 20 years with him. But maybe it's my "fault". I don't think they ever should have made me. My brother should have remained the only child like before. My dad has social problems, talks weirdly, has aspergers, so does my brother. I do as well. This makes me confused, why create another child that needs to go to a special school? My brother is fairly well behaved and tries, but I just complain and say the same stuff over again and I'm probably just annoying. It's like I'm stuck in an endless cycle. When I'm alone I feel like I can think clearer but when I try to talk to my parents I just say the same stuff, complain and try to get an answer that I can't seem to get. My childhood was pretty hard, I had to move out with my mother because my father was too violent and angry. Because of my rough childhood have huge difficulties socializing and trusting people. If my mother has problems with my father throughout the marriage why stay with him for so long? Why create another child? I can't wrap my head around it. It must have been me who really broke things apart with my behavior. I am a monster.

i hate my life so much my mother is way to hard on me like my grades and everything else I HAD TWO IPHONES AND SHE SMASHED BOTH a everyone else has a phone but me all my friends and i dont i hate my life so much and we fist fight all the time

So, my Dad has been working in the restaurant industry for quite some time now (~15 years) and all he cares about is working and making money?? I always try to get him to take time off, but he refuses, mainly because my mother pushes him to do so. As soon as he quit from his last job, my mother is PUSHING him to work so she can buy all of the prettiest things in the world. What is there that I can even do?

If a boy and a girl were physically fistfighting, who do you think won the fight based on the end results : Girl-the one on top. Gave the boy a small bump on his head. Boy-the one on the bottom. Gave the girl a small bloody mouth from her braces. So who do you think won the fight based on the end results and explain why???

I was dating the man of my dreams when he broke up with me and the way he did it was strange. Long story short he has always told me that his brother set the standards high when he engaged this girl. Come to find out he cheated on her and the engagement was over! A YEAR AGO!!! as a man how would you feel if your brother cheated on his fiancée? How would/ could that possibly affect your dating life. Is it possible him breaking up with me had something to do with that! In my culture engagements are huuge! So it's embarassing to have such a fail

but this new one, #6 is like a bus stop hooker. She speaks with one of those tacky accents from brooklyn the hassidic jews have, or joan rivers, and shes not pretty or sophisticated liek the others. shes young, 40 to his 84 but shes horrible and mean and rude. his old friends wont even be seen with him if hes with her, and most of our extended family wont either. they are engaged to be married! what can i do sto stop this gold digging monster from entering into our family IT ALSO worries me bc he is doing what he has told me my whole life to never do. never associate with lower class social climbie=ers, and never let women into your life who are underclass or gold diggers or freeloaders. these were things he drilled into me. he said so any times you can never elevate a social climbing jew even the money he has was made by our family over many generations. anyway its protected so ex wives cannot make money off us, you cannot make money really by marrying in or out of our family. if they had kids the kids would get some money. she will get some but not anything substantial...its the rift she is causing with the family and friends. My uncle did not know who she was and saw her at a party my dad brought her to.. She ran up to him and with her accent said " I KNOW YOU.YOUR MY NEIGHBOR..NO YOUR NOT MY NEIGHBOR..WHO ARE YOU" VERY LOUDLY. MY UNCLE THOUGHT SHE WA SSOME PARTY CRASHER crasher and said "look me up in the almanac de gotha bitzch"

I mean I love him but I hate him... He's always been obsessed with my sister and molested her when we were kids. I'm 21 and she's 24 and she just got pregnant by her bf. He acted calm at first but lately he's been telling (about it to my mom and me...when my sis found the news she moved to her bfs)....he just makes me so mad. I'm struggling in community college and won't even transfer for two or three years so moving out is not an option yet...help

My mom and I have to move into one next week because we're getting kicked out of our apartment.(She got fired due to trying to stop a theif) I'm only 15 so I'm not much help to my mom because I'm not old enough to get a job. Anyways I'm just wondering what it's like? What should I bring with me? Anything would help thanks.

so my mom s brother s kids are my cousins. but my uncle s wife (so my mother s sister-in-law) has sisters and they have kids. so my cousins have cousins on their father s side (me) and their mother s side (them). what would I call them? they re my cousins cousins on their other side of the family

A friend of my sister is seventeen. She is a bit.... Stubborn, rude and complains when she doesn't get what she wants. Not just anything, she only complains when she feels strongly towards what she's asking for- whether its going to the Northern Marianas islands or to her cousins house. She likes to travel. Well at dinner today she asked her parents if she can go with her cousins from houston and they said no then throughout the rest of the night she was texting her mom's phone complaining about how it's not fair that she can't go. She goes to school online so i can almost understand why she is the way she is. Probably gets everything she asks for. She has her own car yet no drivers license, she has shelter, clothes, and food but feels like she has absolutelt nothing. She's never had a job, her dad just gives her his debit card when she's shopoing. She is used to saying what comes to her mind even if it's rude to others. She doesn't share anything bc her parents always give her special treatment. I feel that her parents need to kick her butt back into traditional schooling so she can know how it's like to not be the center of attention

I love my sister a lot but lately she s been acting like she s my mom. An example being that I got in trouble and she made the punishments for me. When I told her that its annoying and point out that our parents can handle how I get punished she ll ignore me and get upset. I told my mom about it and she told her to stop but she didn t listen. When I told my dad he said he would talk to her but he never did and he always sides with her. She s only 2 years older than me but she acts like she s 6 years older. Please help, I honestly am getting irritated and angered by the whole situation.

I found a note in this little vase in my sisters room and it said something about my uncle, josh. It says, i love you all I just can't take the pain I feel like I failed you all and I know I messed up. Josh, I love you so much and I am so sorry I can't live with this guilt I saw how you were about to cry I love you you helped me through everythin - and it ends there. She's ok right now, she's sleeping right next to me, but I don't know what to do! I ******* love my sister and if anything happens to her I am going to die inside. Please tell me what I need to do
