about 4 and a half years ago we figured some bad things out about our stepdad. My mom moved us in to our aunts house where she treated us like slaves. My cousin who lives there, is a year younger and never had to do any house work at the time. My aunt used to make us scrub the entire house down and would beat us if we didn't. My mom started taking Xanax so she wasn't really in the picture. My aunt ended up throwing us out of her house and take lots of our valuables (tvs couches etc) even though my mom paid her what she asked. It is now 4 and a half years later and the cousin from them is now living with us for free because her parents are getting a divorce. when my friends are there she growls at them and when I play a game or something she takes it and hides it.she eats pretty much everything in the house such as these muffins we get that last us a week for all of us she eats in one day! She is also a huge snitch! She has taken my room and I'm now sleeping on the couch! And she will randomly throw hard things at my face and it hurts lmao. I tried taking my blanket back when she took it while I was sleeping and I got in trouble! Why does she get away with everything? Why won't my parents let me see my friends anymore because they think she's weird? It's not fair that we have to clean up after her when her family treated us like ****! My mom isn't someone u try to talk to as she will always resort to punishment and yelling.

so grandma-> her dad -> his dad-> his dad <- This guy

i fingered myself after giving my bf a handjob. could i be pregnant?

How do i tell my parents that I wish they would get along more? My dad can't even talk to my mom without her giving him mad sass for no reason. Sometimes it's understandable because he doesn't always say the greatest things but still. I'm tired of hearing them shoot snide comments at eachother. And they won't even let me move out, and that's honestly the only way I can see myself getting away from their arguing. I'm almost 19 so it's not like I'm a child trying to move away from home too young.

So I was with my aunt one day and she knows I like Ford's super duties and she told me her bff has a 2002 Ford F-250 diesel and she told me her friend might sell it for a newer one and give the old one to me if I get my license and do well in school. So I was talking to my uncle one day and told him about it and he said I have to work and save alot of money and my dad didn't like what he said. So later on I told my aunt I got exempt from most of my final exams and she was proud, then she told me she talked to her bff about the truck and he said if he puts it up for sale, he will come up to my aunt and check to see if I got my license. A few days ago my uncle asked why do I need all that power for and asked if I'm going to pull a big load and told me I need a summer job, they don't give trucks away. So are they just playing me? My aunt sounds serious but my dad doesn't like how my uncle is talking To me the reason why Im asking bc my dad thinks my uncle is playing mind games and my dad said he will be furious if they play me like that

My whole childhood and teen years my mother would do what she could to protect me from my abusive father. He would physically hit both my mom and I. I've always hated him and begged her to leave him. I realized as I got older that she enjoys being in this type of relationship. I've cut ties with my dad permanently for my own sanity and now my mother has been extremely nasty to me. She finally said to me I was the reason their marriage was bad..even though I've been independent for nearly a decade...their relationship is just as toxic from my childhood years... I just don't see the point in keeping in touch. As of now I haven't spoken or seen either of them for 5 years. My mother occasionally sends me disgusting emails to an old email. I would never let them near future grand kids anyways, absolutely not.

Some years ago I was in a serious car accident. After a stay in the hospital they sent me home but they told me I would have to have someone with me round the clock for 2 weeks as I could not take care of myself. My husband Joe priced private nurses and they were way more than we could afford. Lucky for me Joe's grand mother Alice was a nurse and she volunteered to stay with me the 2 weeks. I made a complete recovery thanks in large part to Alice's great care she gave me. Alice would not take any money for helping me. We became good friends and remained good friends ever after Joe and I had a friendly divorce. I have since remarried. I am scheduled for surgery next week and the doctors told me I needed to have a care giver with me for 3 days after I get home from the surgery. I immediately thought of Alice. I called her and she readily agreed to stay the 3 days with me. I gave me great peace of mind that even after the divorce from her grandson she was still a friend that cared for me. However my present husband Jason does not want me to have anything to do with my ex husband or his family. I told Jason this is my body we are talking about I want the great care Alice will give me. This has nothing to do with my ex husband Joe. This is one time Jason is going to have to accept my decision on this matter. Does this seem reasonable to you?

I always feel so lonely. My parents work all the time so i always stayed home alone. What can i do? Im 16 and i dont have friends. I know people but im not close to them. I only talk to them like classmate

I was VERY embarrassed about it but I am also happy about it because she said "Nobody will ever call you SHORTY". Do I have the coolest sister EVER?

This isn't really my problem, but it starting to become my problem because I no longer want to see my parents suffer... my sister is a dependent ,lazy and troublesome person. I've watch my parents sort of slave away with her needs to the point were it become unreasonable that they have to fit her needs to what food she wants day by day (and she does not know what she wants so they bring her options so she could just kick the food away) and many more problems . she demands a lot of things and when she can't get what she wants she destroys the house and yells and screams. causes so many problems. and what she wants is not easy too... she seem to get bored easily and request more pets we are up to six animals and in our house all the animal are taken cared of by my parents to give a short example of her wants. I have a whole list of problems... and my parents told me they have everything under-control but they don't we come from a poor neighborhood and my family has great efforts to try and keep the family together but I need to help them... does anyone know where to send someone like this? to change them (she sort of refuses to listen to anyone and cause a lot of mayhem and my parents love her so much they can't let go but ya know if I was to take her under my burden were would I send someone like that? PS: I know I'd paint her in a bad light, but she like 21 and is unpleasant to live with because she is also tell people how to behave. were do I send a person like that?

Last night I was Skyping (a phone call) with my boyfriend. So we were masturbating, zero clothes on and had our video camera on. And since we are young, this is the only thing we will really do because we don t want to have and risk sex. After we finished masturbating we would just talk until we fall asleep around 3 am then I wake up pretty late maybe around 10 am. So I go down stairs to find something to eat and trying to find my brother. Instead I find a note saying "Now I really know why you stay up so late. I can t believe you. You really changed (my name). Just make sure you don t do anything stupid or dumb next time. I thought you were having a nightmare last night." (In this family, they see me as the smartest one, the most innocent, and the cute adorable person.) Once I read that, I realized that he packed all his things and went back home. Yea, I know it s okay to masturbate since its normal. But it got to the point where he doesn t even want to take me to a really big event in LA and he s giving away my ticket to someone else. Now I honestly don t know what to do in this situation. When I was younger I caught him doing these things but I didn t overreact THIS much because I knew it was normal. However I kinda see why he s acting like this because I was pretty much having phone sex. I don t know what he heard or if he saw anything. Should I just let this gradually fade away or talk to him? Because right now he seems pretty mad and dissappointed in me.

What is a cute way to display all my dance team teammates birthday on the wall ?

Every time I do things to make me happy, my sister gets all weird and ignores me snd she acts angry with me. Is she jealous? I do not play this game, I just go on my way and be happy and all but she still is like that. She kinda makes me sad. Like why can't she just be happy for me? I've suffered depression and many self esteem issues snd for once I feel like I can drive to weight loss, but every time I lost weight she would be like this and it would make me feel down and then I would emotionally eat and then she would go back to her normal self. What's wrong with her?? Why does she hate seeing me happy? Btw I haven't over eaten or anything in a long time. And I don't plan on it. But I just DONT want to go down that road.

btw i'm a girl and also my parents don't trust me with electronics so that's why they thought it was me. it was really my brother because when i was on my the ipad there was porn already on it but my mom ignored it. then they accused me the next day when i already showed them it was him...

I'm 16 male. My dad got remarried, new mom, much wow all over the place. Thing is though that she keeps trying to have her mother/son bonding time with me. My real mom cheated on my dad and tried to hide it until proof was brought out. Reason why I hate her now. My step mom is trying to fill her spot, which is nice, but my dad has raised me to be alone. My dad taught me that there is no space in this world to rely on others, it's either kill or be killed. Reason why I prefer to be alone most of the time. But my step mom keeps trying to get involved. I'm happy for her but I don't know. Just makes me uncomfortable. She found the condoms my dad brought me just to stay safe in case you know what. Not saying I plan on sex, just in case my feelings take over. She tries to hang out with me all the time and it just feels uncomfortable. How can I tell her in a nice way to stay out of my business and to hang out with my dad instead. Ever since the divorce, he has been feeling down. I can't help because that's not what I was raised for. So yeah, suggestions? She also tried to have the talk with me. My dad already had it with me and with her, just felt weird having the talk with your step mom. I guess you guys are right. Alright, I'll give in and try to do my best to hang out with her. Now that I think about it, I used to like chess. Thanks for the answers. Sorry guys, anon gets best answer for being anon.

My sister (13) and I (16) babysit my mom's friends two little girls because it summer and schools out. Their parents are divorced and their dad picks them up most afternoons. When he's here, he winks and makes googly eye at my mom(married to my dad) and me. This makes me very uncomfortable. What do I do?

So I haven't seen my cousin in about 5 years, and we haven't contacted each other since then. We were really close when we were young, but now we're not. I'm thinking about asking her if I could come over for a week or so, but it might be awkward because I think inviting myself to one's house is quite foward and rude, plus there are family complications. Since I had last saw her, her parents got divorced, and so I would think it very awkward to go to my ex-aunt's house. Well that's about it. Thanks

Every other year we travel to our home country overseas for the entire summer. And every single time, she becomes a b*tch a month prior our travel day until we step foot into the airport. And yes, I called my mom a b*tch. I just have no other words that can describe her for what she's being. We get into fights like 3 times over a day over stupid stuff that doesn't matter. Mom: "Why didn't you tell me what time you finish school" Me: "you didn't ask me to" Mom: "well you're a little ****, you piece of **** all you care about is yourself" Today: So we came back from her picking me up (and her rants) and she starts opening the door. "Oh my God! Your brother locked both of them! That piece of ****, f*uck all of you guys, you're all like my feet" "Why does the garlic sauce look weird? You're such a piece of **** you can't do anything right" "Raise your voice I can't even hear anything, you're just like a piece of ****" My entire car rides to and from school consist of her ranting. Oh and yesterday my little brother went to school crying because of her. We get into at least 3 arguments every day. So far today we've gotten into 2 fights, all because she has to b*tch about meaningless crap. And then she has the auadacity to talk to me after we fight like nothing ever happened, then starts swearing again, then talks to me, then rants again, etc. I understand she might be stressed but that does NOT give her a right to treat her kids like crap. I can't take it anymore!!

Ok so I know this is a dumb question, but I'm waiting for my cousin Alyssa's mom to call back. I Want Alyssa to come stay at my house for about 4 or 5 days. Buy I'm not sure she will want to come. She's 9 and I'm a few years older.She lives like 2 hours away. We get along most of the time and I already asked her a couple months ago and she said yes. But I'm worried about her changein her mind:/ I've been planning this for a year! So please tell me if you think she will want to come!

Hello. I am a 15 year old girl and I need some advice, thank you so much. So... In our house, my parents don't really knock (my sister gets me so she does, haha) and only my they have a lock on their door (of course). I masturbate a lot. Sometimes in the bathroom, other times when no one's home or when everyone is sleeping, but mostly I do it in my room with the door closed; since I don't have a lock. I would really appreciate some tips on how to be more discreet because my mom comes in my room a lot to take dirty laundry, give me my clean laundry, etc. Anyway, she tends to walk in a lot when I am masturbating. I can't tell when she is about to come in, because she is very quiet when she walks around the house and I'm usually too focused on what I'm doing to notice. I stop as soon as I see the doorknob move and tell her I'm itching or think of some strange excuse. She doesn't say much, she acts pretty normal about it. But I remember she used to look at me weirdly and in a kind of angry way when she caught me when I was younger. One time when I was about 9 she said "trying to make yourself feel good?" in an angry tone but that was about it. She never said a thing about it at all later on. During sex talks, she addressed it normally. ... So how do I masturbate more discreetly when I get these urges? Thank you again, and sorry it was so long! *only my parents have a lock on their door

As his mother, I'm very concerned. I have noticed that my 7-year-old son masturbates to the Powerpuff Girls. He does this sometimes when he watches the show and he has done this while looking at Powerpuff (Powerzine) magazines. He likes Blossom. I find him staring at pictures of Blossom while he masturbates.

So, Disney gave me a job offer and I was going to be Working in the hotel resorts making a shoot ton of money not only that but getting the rest of my education and living there for a while. When I brought up the awesome news to my step mother she place every negative thing in my head, made me feel like crap, and embarrassed me in front of her family telling me how stupid I was for even applying for the job. :( Then a month later after telling me I am lazy and I dont do crap for the house, she went a got me a job a at Burger king. :( I start the job tuesday working 8.50 an hour where as disney was stating at 10.20 an hour. I am beginning to become depressed by this. but, Why is she being so evil to be crushing my hopes and dreams? I know it doesn't make sense with the whole burger king thing but she used to work there previously and the boss really like her. So she went in there and asked the boss to hire me and that was that. Applications was signed and everything. :( I dont know what happened or exactly how but all i know is that I start tuesday. And yes I am older than 18. Its sad, but I dont really have anywhere else to go so its follow her rules or get thrown out to the streets. :(

HIS VOICE IS REALLY LOUD AND HE ALWAYS SAYS BULLSHIT

I am 16 years old, my sister is 11. For the last four years or so, she began acting rude. I am her babysitter, so over the summers when I watch her, her behavior really lashes out at me as she knows our parents aren t home during the days. I can t take her condescending behavior anymore. I have no clue what to do anymore, because at the end of the day it doesn t matter how she treats me as long as my parents come home to a house that didn t burn down. She is physically harmful to me, too. She throws things at me, hits me, she has clawed me to the point of broken skin and blood, pulled my hair, etc. And she screams at the top of her lungs when I try to tell her she cannot do something, or I ask her to do her chores or even eat. Basically, if she doesn t get her way then the whole world will be miserable. My parents have experience with this too. But nothing is done and everything is still my fault at the end of the day. Please help, I don t know what to do anymore.

and with that I mean no gangs attacks, robbery ,rapes, assaults, homicides. and witch areas are (now in 2016) the safest ? I didn't mean the city to be without all that , I just wanted to know from parisians witch are the safest areas with the lowest crime or others i mentioned above

Ok so I'm 16 now and I have a younger brother and a younger sister my youngest sister and I have a problem with each other she's 10 I have a problem with her because she likes EVERYTHING I MEAN like a lot of things that I like so example I love to shop at pink so I got things for Christmas from pink and now like 6 months later she she has screenshots of pink which I should be acting mature I under stand the thing that make me go crazy is when I looked in her ipad and saw all of these screenshots (pictures taken from the internet) of all my favorite things on HER IPAD!!!!! she cannot take away my identity as a person she's trying to get in my head.... And it's working it's annoying me and I I want to be different I don't want to be a leader and one thing is she loves to brag about things that she has that's my life dreams such as having a nice body I mean I'm 16 I want one and she's like im soo skinny like OMG I've been fighting to loose weight and it's so hard for me to do it and she just rubs it it my face so I think that she like wants to be me OMG please help me I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!

So my parents have been married for almost a year now. But my step father has a son with autism, and criminal tendencies. My mother is physically disabled and during their marriage my step father left her to take care of the child which she cannot physically handle. In the recent month I, a teenage girl of 17, have been beginning to feel uncomfortable and unsafe around my step brother. In addition, my step brother has pyromaniac tendencies as well, lighting stuff on his room in fire which is a danger to where we live at. My step father got angry a couple of days ago and left taking his son and driving to one of his friend's houses who can financially back him. My mother and I are house sitting for a friend a thirty minute drive away and he asked to come and stay in our house. My other gave him the condition to put his kid into a treatment place for a couple of months. However, the night he returned he left repetitively with his child left alone. Now he's threatened to evict us. My mom is the only one who pays the rent, and my step father does not make enough money to pay for one month. Yet, both their names are on the deed. My mother has talked to our landlord and explained the circumstances but I am still worried since my mother does not have the money to hire a lawyer while my step father's friend is getting lawyers for him.

I'm 20 years old and 5 ft 4. She's is 6 ft 1 and my Dad is 6 ft 3, I obviously got the short gene while my younger sister and brother are tall for their age. She always introduces me as the "the daughter who is 5"4" in such a shitty tone as if I was some sort of mishap. I also have a large chest and she says that my boobs "annoy her" although it's my body. Why does it matter how tall I am?

to start off, I turn 17 in a month. in Georgia, you can stop going to your dads/moms house at the age of 14. my dad lives with his parents. since their house is not very big, I have to sleep in the same bed as his mother. & I AM NOT judging them for their money by no means! I'm 17 & sleeping in the same bed as his mother & it makes me uncomfortable. I need my own privacy sometimes. also, his mom is very rude to me. she judges everything about me, & I mean I know I should grow up, but it really hurts my feelings. my dad makes a fair amount of money, where as my mom only gets paid 120 a week for child support. she can't get a job bc she has to take care of her sick mother. she has had 2 strokes & open heart surgery recently. I want to stay here. my mom gets mad when I don't go down there for one weekend. she basically makes me go, which is her right considering I am not 18, I have to respect her rules. I recently got new friends and I'm afraid that if I say anything to her about this, she will ban me from hanging out with them & blame my behavior on them. is there anything I can say to my mom so I don't have to go down to my dads anymore? I love him, I do, but I'm feel I can't do it anymore.

I know things my parents don't think I know. You know, like when you trust someone but when they lie you get some spider senses and you can tell they are lying? I know the reason why my parents are fighting so much right now. My mom caught dad cheating on her. Funny thing is that my mom is acting all pure when she also cheated. She sent me to the store and told me to get something to eat, I never left. Just stood outside the house and saw her getting ready for a quickie with one of her friends. I know my dad is bisexual, which my mom doesn't know. I have recorded my parents doing it with other people, and I have the recordings stored seperately. Many of them are during the night time when one of my parents leaves after a fight and the other brings a friend in. They think I'm sleeping but in all honesty I can't sleep with their noises ringing around the house. My mom snorts like a pig while doing it too. I have other things like my dad kicking a cat, or trying to but the cat runs away. And my mom farting into my dad's food. They are planning on divorce. Just putting this out there, I don't get boners from this. Just have these things in case things go downhill. To tell ya the truth I think I'm crazy, I don't know. Anyone else's parents thing you are stupid? I have heard my parents tell people about how clueless I am all the time and how I am too stupid for the world. I think I need to go to a mental hospital. Maybe therapy, this stuff doesn't bother me anymore. I don't know why my title auto corrected. It was supposed to say you're. Not some weird word.

I'm 16 years old and last night my mom told me to pack my bags and that she hates me and that i'm a ******* ****. I didn't leave last night and this morning she beat me up punching me and hitting me in the arm and head with a yankee candle jar. she once again repeated that she hated me and that she was sick of me ruining her and my family's life and for me to make a plan and get the hell out. I am not even a bad kid. I get all A's, i do what i'm told, and I love all of my family. but they all HATE me and they always have. what do i do? I'm heartbroken I tried apologizing to her for whatever i did and she didn't care

my mom body shamed me today again. she always says rude things about my weight. She called me a tank today among other rude names. I told her that i didn't think i was fat and just she did (she looks anorexic practically) I'm not even fat, i have a little bit of a pouch on the bottom of my stomach, but i'm 16 i do intensive dance and figure skating everyday and 90 percent of my diet is fruits and vegetables she makes me feel bad about myself what do i do? I'm not body shaming her, i tell her positive things about her body all the time. I only put that in there because maybe she has a problem and thats why she doesn't like my body

This past weekend, I decided to stay over at a guy's house without asking my parents and they went ballistic. I do admit that I should have let them know where I was going, and I understand why they would freak out not knowing where I was. The issue is that they seem to be most upset over the fact that I'm not a virgin. They found out because during the fiasco, my sister spilled the beans to them. My parents have been screaming at me, calling me all sorts of names, and making me feel like complete crap. They say that I've shamed and embarrassed the family and they are keeping me under close watch for a while now. Keep in mind that I am eighteen. My parents are very conservative and religious, but they can't even recognize that I am an autonomous human being who can make these decisions for herself. They keep using words like "used" and "defiled" to describe me sleeping with who I slept with. How do I handle this situation? Should I succumb to their moral standards to keep the peace? Or do I stand by my decisions and assert my autonomy?

I married my husband 3 years ago. We have a 2 year old son who is the first grandchild on both sides of the family. We live in the Oregon (where my family lives) His Family lives in Arizona. My husband was raised by a fairly wealthy family who went on vacations to Disney Land every year along with traveling to see different sights around the world (China, Europe, you get the drift) I was raised going on a weekend trip to see family around every 3years. The main reason I wish to stay in Oregon is because I know my family cannot afford to come visit us once a year. This however has seemed to open the gate for his family to come visit roughly every 3 months for around 2 weeks at a time. They stay at our place every time they visit and they are a family who likes to remain constantly on the go. No days just staying at the house, everything is planned out (by my husband and Mother-in-law) and I feel like I can't say no. The frequent and long visits are something I am not used to and have a hard time handling. I'm not sure how to address the situation without offending my Mother-in-law. (I have already addressed my husband multiple times about how I feel on this issue)

I recently had surgery and he s taken to being here 24/7. I appreciate that he wants to help but I can t rest and he s kind of making me crazy. Stopping over would be helpful; staying here is not. I don t want to hurt his feelings. What do I say?

Would I be born to the different mother or father?

Unfortunately in this case it would mean my dad, her biological brother had incestuous relations with her.

He's been nice to me, asked to send me study materials to help for my exam, caught him staring, texted me with random excuses(like did my grandma make it upstairs ok? like call your grandma lol) then asked to go out for sushi after my exam. HIs grandma and I live in the same apts and he comes here 3 days a week, a year ago I got impatient and called him out on beating around the bush and said a guy w/ a gf couldn't be interested in me, he said he was being friendly and has a gf he's happy with. But the secret stares and the coming around, started dressing nicely. Also before we got into a fight, He asked one day when giving me gym advice "dont you have a bf to teach you all this?"He asked one day when giving me gym advice "dont you have a bf to teach you all this?" HIs parents always stare at me, i've caught him staring a lot many times Why would a guy do all this and freely say he has a gf but let go of her hand when I saw them together out

No one celebrates it. Particularly in the black community. No one even remembers that there even is a Father's Day, let alone what day it falls on. But, everyone makes it a point to mark Mother's Day every year. Why bother have a Father's Day, since that's how most of the planet feels about their father? That attitude is the opposite of what the day stands for.

My aunt moved back to my house a year ago. She's contributed to paying some bill and buying for the house. I'm currently sharing a room with my aunt because that is the coziest room. She's working as a stressed out engineer. She just changed to a job that requires her to wake up at 5am as it is distant from home. She seems stressed and easily jealous at my waking time. Whenever I'm trying to go to the toilet or do anything which needs to open the door at night, she will be mad, saying that the noise I made from opening the door disturbs her I disturbed her. I can't leave it open too. I try my best to open and shut the door quietly but she still complains that my footsteps were a nuisance to her when sleeping. When I'm trying to sniff or toss around in my bed, she'll tell me to shush insolently. When she's "disturbed" by me at night, she'll mumble resentful words that she will make sure she wakes me up as early as she can so I can't get enough sleep. She threatens me that she can hear stuffs even if they're the slightest so make sure I don't even make a single bit of noise at night. When she's doing work she'll turn on the light while I'm sleeping till midnight. But when I'm doing my homework, she chases me out when I'm turning on the light. I can't use phone at night as the screen will disturb her, Nevertheless, she still wakes me up at 5am cruelly using tactics such as slamming the door, switching on the light or brushing teeth loudly etc. Then she'll make hateful noise.

I hate my mother,not as a person, don't get me wrong but i do love her,its her actions that i despise,her words and the fact that she doesn't accept me the way i am and is constantly pressuring me to change,and not for the better may i add.She wants me to a perfect little doll,a basic pretty girl,just like any other girl,she hates who i am and doesn't want me to hold on to my identity,which is what parents should teach their kids to accept,not change.She just wants me to be her version of perfect,but im not and i never will be,because i do not aspire to be that"perfect" person in her eyes.She constantly hurts my feelings,every day,nonestop, never failing to leave a hurtful comment every time we have a moment together.She's always pointing out my stretch marks,my double chin,my acne,my bushy eyebrows my big boobs and butt(not in a nice way)and more importantly my fat belly. I understand that she wants what's best for me,and i understand that slimming down would be better for me ,but it's her reason that bothers me and her approach, she only wants me to lose weight so that i can "look like a barbie doll",attractive in society's eyes,not because she cares about my health.She probably does care about my health,but that isnt the issue for her,its just my big fat belly and *** that she sees in me.

So I'm 15 and don't have the largest budget (about $30) and if any of you could help me or give me any ideas of what you have given your father in previous years that would be amazing. Here are a couple of details about my father: -He's a plumber so he spends a lot of the day driving and working (Btw he already has a GPS Ik what your thinking :) ) -He loves playing games on Facebook when he gets home like all the time -When he's not on Facebook he's watching movies he got from Netflix. -My sister and I have just about spent every year buying him tools and outdoor dad stuff like lawnmowers and grills, etc. -He's definitely a Foodie and loves all sorts of fancy chocolates. Thank you so, so much. Forgot to mention that my sister who has a much larger budget said she would help if I can find any really good ideas.

I saw her getting out of the shower and ever since then I think of how good she looked. What should I do?

Why do mothers tend to love their sons more than their daughters and never admit it. My mother does that too. I may do a mistake and my mother keeps scolding me for that. But if my brother does that, she never scold him. My brother is elder and he gets all affections and I get nothing. Is it normal ??

I wanna ask this question cause I never had a good day so my parents are really angry and my father hit me cause he like it and he goes to fitness studios and yeah Everyday when I wake up they scream at me and look in a bad way at me today I cane from the school trip I had to wait till my parents come I told them to come on 1:00 PM Ive ben waiting like 3 hours then Yeah I got sad and etc cause all of my friends were home and I was at school I had to walk about 3 KM and I was really tired then when Inarrived I was sad and little bit angry they told me what is it in a bad way then I took ma jaxket and shoes off and put the bag away and she was putting something on her face cream ir something I had no idea that she is inside and I didnt meant to open the door and hit her with the door like I wanted to go inside to pee after that I ran up to my room and she came and started screaming then my dad heard and told me to come down he started to insulting me and why and you have to wait for me even If I need 10 hours he started saying I didnt say when they had to come pick me up then he stood up slapped me and started screaming in ma face and I was scared He hit me lot of times and i get really scared cause I have no place to go and nobody to tell and If i tell idk what will happen amd one time I failed at something he started boxing me picking me up and throwing me and

I also have little family, a mother and a grandmother and that is it

back in march, my friend and I decided to sneak out of the house and go to a club (i was 14). they let us in etc and i got so drunk. my parents found me drunk on the bed passed out and just an utter mess. I went through hell those days. Then, everything started getting back on track and I had to accept the consequences. Later, In may, i went to a beach bar and I got drunk again but not as bad as before. My mother found out about it as she could tell from my face. She grounded me and everything. Now, it is almost the end of june and i have a lot of parties coming up. The trust started becoming bigger now and I want to mantain it there <3 I just want to prove to her that I've changed, how will I do that x Serious answers pls xxxxxxx

I have a parent who often undermines everything I do to the point where I even doubt myself and my self-esteem is shot to hell. She often brags about how she's the best mother and how she's sacrificed alot for me in front of her friends yet she often tells me that I spoiled her plans for the future and that I was a mistake when we're alone. She often threatens not to pay my college fees and threatens to kick me out of the house, yelling at me and telling me that I'm lazy and irresponsible, believing the lies that my siblings tell her about me. I'm just so fed up with this ****, been entertaining suicidal thoughts for a while now because at this point in my life the future seems too bleak for me to keep hanging on.

I'm getting married next month. It's going to be a pretty big wedding because we have a lot of family and close friends (we wanted a small wedding, but had to go big because there were so many important people to invite. Thankfully we got a great deal on our venue). My sister told me I didn't need to invite her stepkids, because the wedding falls on their moms PT. So I only included her, her husband, her older kids from exh and her two younger kids with her husband. Things were fine and nothing was said. Since yesterday my sis and BIL have been blowing up my inbox and phone with texts and emails telling me they got his exwife to agree to let him have his kids at the wedding, but their half siblings from her must be included, otherwise they won't be allowed to come. I sent a single reply that unfortunately, we won't be able to accommodate for all those extra kids and I look forward to seeing her, BIL, nieces and nephews there. They are still sending several emails and texts. Then I get an email from BIL to tell me I should have set a date he had PT, because it's a big f*** you to his kids and tells them they're seen as nothing but s*** by my whole family (apart from sis). Do I tell her she can bring extra kids or was I right to say no? Also, do I have them removed if they show up with all the extra kids on the day? As far as I know, the ex has 7 other kids, but she might have even more... I don't want to drag any family into this. But my dad knows because apparently my BIL called him before leaving for work. He's not happy about any of this and is shocked they think they could bring all these additional kids without any problems.

Basically, I decided to clear out my wardrobe and some of the items which are in good condition, have hardly been worn and/or are brand new I have decided to sell. A couple of these items are items my Mum has bought me. She saw the pile and shook her head, then said that she's never going to buy me any clothes ever again because I apparently don't appreciate what she buys me. I told her I do appreciate what she buys me as there are plenty of clothes she bought me that are still in my wardrobe that I wear on a regular basis but she wouldn't listen. I think she's being silly and overreacting, so I'm thinking of giving her some time to cool off and realise that getting upset over this is ridiculous. I constantly thank her for the things she does for me or buys for me so it's not like she has any reason to see me as ungrateful. What should I do? Am I right, in that she's overreacting over something silly or does she have a right to be upset? Thank you for any and all replies.

She always does this on holidays. She says my step-father doesn't have any kids and it is unfair to leave him on Father's Day because his Dad has Alzheimers and can't socialize. My Dad and his whole family are getting together and it will be the holidays before I can see his family again. My mother won't let me go and my Dad just says "well, the holidays (Christmas Time) will be here before you know it". My Dad doesn't like arguing with my mother as they divorced when I was age 2. So I am 14 now and this will happen again at the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). How can I get her to let me go or if she bars me from it this time how can I make sure she can see I am hurt enough that maybe next time my step-father will motivate her to let me go? She trashes my Dad to me and guilts me whenever she hears I am doing something with him or his family. It is Father's Day, and yet my mother is to mean to see that she is not a father. Yet she makes a feast out of Mother's Day. I can't wait till I am an adult and can do the same to my Mom. What do I do?

I'm trying to save money for a new car I have about $602 saved right now by myself from working. But I need money for the week obviously.. How much should I take out but with still being able to save?

Sometimes she is angry he invited me due to anxiety she feels with noise. I asked him "is it okay with (name of wife)" and he said "yeah of course" so I am going. She got angry at me two years ago when I came to a similar event and hasn't seen me since other then at a wedding last year. Her son died 6 years ago from a drug overdose so understandably she has had it hard. But she has been weird to her in-laws (my family) since. I do want to go as I never get to see their kids which is why my uncle invited me when he heard my parents are out of town.

My Dad seems to think that material possessions will make me happy. Everytime I go up to him, his instant reaction is to tell me to "screw off" or "**** off" or tell me that he's "busy" (when most of the time he's watching movies). He works very hard to support us, and I know that. He loves me, that I know.. but he just isn't there for me as how a Father should be.. y'know what I'm sayin'? He thinks that being a Father just means fulfilling the role of being a "provider", and I can confirm this, because ever since I turned 10, he has always been telling me, "at 18, you're on your own". Honestly, that's not wrong.. but to say that to me ever since I was a little kid (don't tell me 10 isn't a young age) has really made me feel like I'm not wanted. He has called me a "*****" several times.. even a whore.. I look at Barack Obama and Malia and feel like such crap, knowing that my Father will never love me that way.. ever. Forget the First Family, just looking at any Father and Daughter pair where love is evident makes me want to bawl my eyes out. My Dad finds every opportunity to degrade me, whether in public, or at home, or when he's talking to his friends. Many people say I'm intelligent.. I don't see it. I remember, the first time my Chemistry teacher told my Father that I'm "intelligent" (she told him that when I wasn't around), and my Dad came home and told me that and couldn't stop repeating it for the following week.. he seemed very very very shocked and surprised. That one act convinced me that he really does not believe that I'm intelligent.. I mean, c'mon, he tells me that I'm stupid and I will never get anywhere, almost everyday. He's a Physics Graduate from Harvard, and I want to study Law in Harvard. He tells me that I'll never get there... ever. He threatens to leave the family, everyday. He even told me that he doesn't love my Mother- they had an arranged marriage, so yeah. But even so, I don't think that that makes it alright for a Father to tell his 16 year old daughter that he does not love her Mother. I can't even go to my Mother, honestly. She dropped out of school in 12th grade.. but that's not the problem. The problem is, she still acts like a child, and it sucks. Almost every person I've met has told me that she does not think before speaking, to which, rather unfortunately, I must agree. I feel so horrible posting this on Yahoo! Answers, asking for help, because I feel like such crap knowing that I can't help myself. Someone on here is probably going to tell me to kill myself.. if you are that person, just please, don't comment.

I am 21, but rely on my parents for money since I'm in education and a part time job won't cover the costs of uni and living. My dad has given me a comfortable upbringing and you can say we are quite wealthy. The problem is that unless I am a perfect daughter who never argues, lets him have his way every time and do everything as he says he'll punish me or make me feel like ****. For example if I choose to wear something that he disliked (he hates boots without a heel) he will point out how awful they look the entire time I wear them or if I voice my opinion which differs from his he'll ridicule it multiple times after and bring it up any time I ask for money for something or help. I'm very polite to him, do anything he asks and generally pretend to have the same opinion as him. I'm a straight-A student, rarely drink, don't smoke. It makes me feel helpless and hugely lowers my self-confidence. What can I do? Moving out isn't an option because I have no funds to buy property and don't want to rent. This morning, between the hours of 8 and 11 I have been told: I'm getting plump, I need to make my voice sound "more grown up" when I speak on the phone, he doesn't like the way I close the boot of the car (too loud apparently) and I spilt some juice on the table which is apparently unaccaptable (wiped it straight away) - I am being criticised for literally anything and everything! Even if I was to move out at some point soon I can't completely rule my dad out of my life - he is still my dad however mean he may be...

before she moved my books somewhere and my science assessment. Plz help me.
