So here's the backstory me and my girlfriend who are both 18 years old, Recently had a baby who is now 2 months old, Believe me I know lol to young. But our relationship has been Overall pretty healthy and We have a ton of support behind us. She's been living with me and my mom since the beginning of her pregnancy so almost a year now. Currently here it's my mom, my grandma, my brother, and I living here. Recently her grandma has decidied to give us one of her homes that she owns, that has been vacant for years. I've had fun customizing the house to my liking and Cleaning it up with my girlfriend. But as the "move in" days start coming near I find myself having some serious anxiety's about moving out. My girlfriend really wants to live there ebecause she says she wants her own privacy now that we have ababy and I can totally understand that. The house will also come with no rent which is also a plus. I've been so nervous about moving away from my family, in my head it's almost like I'll never see them again, But obviously I know I will, I kinda feel bad for just getting up and moving to a new house away from them, but the house is literally 5 min away from my mom's house lol. Should I just take the Leap and move Into the other house with my girlfriend. My Indecisiveness has sort been putting a strain on our relationship. I need some advice with my anxiety my mom is also supporting the move. Not sure what to do please

Im an only child.. and im in college out of state.. my parents text me everyday and asks if my classes are over, if i ate lunch, i fi ate dinner, what im going to do, what im doing, my plans for the weekend, when and what im going to eat, who im hanging out with, good night and they get mad if i dont text them first..or text them everyday.. and they will call me if i don't reply in an hour or so telling me they got worried about me but they wake me up from a good nap each time.. they say this is normal.. and that im the weird one bc i dont text them everyday.. my dad made me promise him to tell him good night everyday.. but obviously sometimes i forget bc my sleep schedule is messed up and i have to do my homework so its chaotic.. but it did get better compared to the beginning of the school year.. when they texted and called me every morning to see what time i woke up and what im going to do and stuff.. but they dont do that anymore and bc we message everyday theres really nothing to say whne i see them in person or when they call me.. i dont feel like i miss them either bc i feel like they are always with me?

I'm 15 and my step sister is 16. She knows I've had a crush on her, and I admit I did do some bad things in the past, like stealing some pairs of her underwear. But now she always calls me "perv", and has told multiple girls about a genetic disorder that I have (which makes my sex organs smaller than normal). Now some of her friends call me "little man" and laugh. I feel very embarrassed and nervous around her, and just want her to like me. Why does she treat me like this? And why do her friends make fun of me so much? Why do they still think I'm a perv, and make fun of such a sensitive part of mine?

My son has been with this girl for seven years but since her cousin who is married to my other son came, I feel the need to talk to her more and not talk to the first one.. Lets call them 27 and 21... 27 has three kids with my son Nd 21 just had a baby. Yesterday, 27 had a special event at her son s school and couldn t take the smallest one. 21 was going too. 27 asked me "nicely" if I could watch her kid that it was only an hour event. I said no because I didn t feel like it. On the other hand, I like watching 21 s baby because she s cute and she s a girl. 27 has a girl too but she s always running around with dolls and toys. I m currently staying with 27 and 21 at their house because I don t want to get an apartment right now. I come home to find them cooking and cleaning and I don t like it. Also, my sons had the nerve to change the floor tile and I told them no.. I m ignoring 27 because son buys her everything and she told him shea not comfortable with me living there because I invade their privacy. It s not my fault she leaves her bedroom door open. I was looking for something I needed that she had in her room and she now locks her room when she leaves. I hate it and I need to get rid of her.

I met my husband 15 years ago through his sister (my best friend). My sister-in-law and I have always been close, but for the past 2 years (since I had my child) she s changed dramatically. She hooked up with an okd friend around that time and our friendship, along with her brothers and various others, has been all but thrown to the side by her. We used to talk daily on the phone and now she wont even answer my calls, hangs up mid call by fakinh a beep, and generally avoids me all together. She didnt even acknowledge my birthfay this year but was hanging out with her okd friend all day *she has 2 small kids mind you*. I know shes having a sexual relationship with this friend but its a secret and she wont say anything to me about it. My question is, knowing she s simply a lousy friend, how to I get over losing such a dear friend and stop seeling out her approval and attention when she clearly doesn t appreciate me at all? ... THIS IS MY HUSBAND S SISTER! I can t simply never talk to her again...

I'm 17 and my girlfriend is 16. I live with my dad who is single (my mom died 5 years ago in a car crash) and my gf lives with her mom who is recently divorced. My dad and her mom have been talking a lot recently and going out on dates. My dad told me he wants to marry her but I can't say anything about it to my girlfriend or her mom. If they do end up getting married, do I have to break up with my gf?

Come on mommy- I can take care of myself now. I'll get a job tomorrow.

Hi So before I was born my father left us (me and my mom) and I have grew up with my step father. My mom is no more and I am with my step dad only who doesn't know anything about my previous father. How can I track him down? I really want to meet my father at least once but I don't even know if he is alive. I don't know his name or background or anything I have no idea how to find him

So tomorrow my mom is going to drive us all the way to see my great grandmother, who had been in a car accident. My mom is taking it hard and wants us there for support, but the thought of having to be around all of these people is seriously going to make me faint. I'm an introvert at heart, and definitely anti-social. My mom though is probably the most social person in the world, she literally radiates confidence. And she thinks it's a bunch of bullshit how I don't like being surrounded by people all of the time. And tomorrow I know for a fact I'm gonna be around a bunch of people I don't even know and SHE has kept us (Me and my younger siblings) from them for YEARS! Growing up she said all she remembers are bad decisions and painful memories, and now she expects us to be cool with seeing them. Do you know how awkward that will be? I really REALLY don't want to go. I would do anything to get out of it. And I feel bad because my grandmother got in an accident, but even growing up i felt uncomfortable with her. I only was around my moms immediate family. Plus we moved and it's just been us for a while. And I'm not the only one that feels this way, but so does my younger sister, who has hardly ever been around them. Both of us don't want to go and we told our mom, but she just calls us selfish and tells us to get over it. It's really starting to piss me off and I don't want to have a panic attack while I'm there. What do I do?

Today I turned 19 and the plan was for me to watch black panther with my friends, I met my friends at the mall since I took a lyft and they carpooled from school. After the movie I decided to get in the car with them to go back to school(they were going back to get into their own cars) and get my lyft their since it would be $6 cheaper, in the car we decided to go out to eat I of course asked my mom if it was ok and she said yes only to call me a minute later saying I was a problem start and sneaky because I apparently knew we were going to get food beforehand and decided not to ask her(wtf?) we ended up going to steak and shake and she told me that there couldn't be any places open at this time(mind you this is a Thursday night down town where restaurants are open until midnight) she then proceeded to tell me I had to come home immediately. When I got home she said the whole situation was disrespectful and I asked why she was doing this and she said I deserved it for being sneaky. I literally asked for permission and she said it was fine. I'm transferring to a new school in the fall and will be out of the house, I understand I'm living in her house=her rules but she expects me to call and text her whenever I go somewhere at 19 so when I transfer what is she gonna expect? I'm taking 26 credit hours a semester and I'm in class 9-5 but I never get any slack smh

I'm his other daughter. We're both (daughters) in our 20s and live away from our parents. My dad and my sister have this great bond and it's just like my dad doesn't even TRY when it comes to me. We get along fine in person. I've tried taking it upon myself to contact him regularly before but he's just so ambivalent and take-it-or-leave-it with me I just stopped cuz it hurt my feelings. My sister has never had to do that, he always calls her on his owns and sends presents and stuff to her etc (never me) what the **** is so bad about me that he ignores me? I don't understand Jesus Bry ur so gorgeous... sry random just had do say it aww Martin thank u that's sweet ;) Servus - that's crossed my mind many times even tho I'm actually a spitting image of my father (in female form), and our personalities are really similar. so I don't think it's that. I have wondered tho, even so, if that could be the reason I love the anon answer but there's no way in hell I'm going to be my dad's nursemaid in his old age (and I know my sister's going to try for that too). If he and my sister get on so well without me in his good health, they can damn well get on well without me in his old age too. I know a lot of people get to know their parents that way but that's just not me Thank you Blunt. I wouldn't say I'm the "good daughter" (not by a long shot actually lol) but I'm definitely the more independent one and have always been so. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your validation and advice. Very helpful and reassuring <3

I'm 16 years old and I got my license in December, before I even got my graduated drivers license my mom let me drive around and do errands for her all day but now I want to go to the movies with my friend and she won't let me drive. I'm not a bad kid at all, I always complete everything she tells me to do how can I convince her?

Lets say a young teenage girl wants to dye her hair, but her mother thinks she's too young. Her daughter talks back and gets angry. The parent slaps the girl hard to make her "get over it" or simply just for getting upset.

So I go to church with this family I've know since forever. My mom and there mom we're best friends an we lived across the street from them. I was called to have a relationship with everyone so I'm starting that. I have one with grace, she's 17 but I'm only 14. I'm scared of opening my heart and everything just in case you didn't know. I got angry with her a ton of times, and started to ignore her and everytime she came by me I'd move. I even said mean stuff and had an attitude. We last had a talk and she said she needed me to be sincere with I apology in person and to take all the time I need. I'm ready to apologize but I'm so scared to. I tell myself every Sunday I will talk to her, but then I back out for some reason. But I'm so broken inside everytime I see her because I understand I hurt her bad. I make myself feel so horrible for what I did to her. What can I do to help me get the courage to talk to her? And what am I even supposed to say to her? If you know I'm not an emotional person when talking, so I'm also scared that I'm when we talk I'm not gonna feel anything. When I talk to myself isn't he mirro practicing what I'm gonna say, I get so emotional and sad, but I know when I talk to her I'm not gonna get all sad and start crying because I don't open my heart. That scares me also

I am a lawyer, my oldest is going into neurosurgery, second oldest is interning at Micron and is shooting to be an engineer. The youngest are the twins. The oldest twin has already taken up the debate club and is set on following my footsteps. On the other hand, her sister (the other twin) wants to work in child care... That career choice doesn't seem fulfilling or very succesful. I don't know how she could have the siblings she does and choose child care. I really don't understand and I want to support her but I can't.

I'm 16 and I just got my car a few days ago. My parents won't let me take it to my friend's house this weekend because they said they might need it. First of all, I've been 16 for 5 months and I just now got my car. I've tried applying for jobs so I could get a car sooner but all 4 places that I applied to wouldn't take me, and it took them months to respond. Second, it's my parents own fault that they don't have a car. Last summer my mom lost hers because she didn't pay the bill so they took it and she was too f*cking lazy to get it back. My dad always buys the worst cars so they always break. We have 3 cars right now and 1 don't even work. It has a dead battery and a flat tire. The other is my sister's and the last one is mine. This is some bullsh*t that I had to wait this long to get a car and now I can't even f*cking use it. My parents have to use my car because my sister's windshield wiper broke so if it rains they would be screwed. You see? They're turning their own problems into mine. I had plans this weekend with my friends and girlfriend. I know you'll say "just have his parents take you". Where's the fun in that? It was supposed to be me, my friend, his friend, and my girlfriend. And since we are only allowed to have one other person in the car it was going to be 2 of us in my car and 2 of us in my friend's car (it's actually his mom's car) and we were going to see a movie and then go back to my friend's house. What am I supposed to do now?

I've been taking my son to school lately but today he started crying because he wanted my grandfather to take me. Even though I'm his dad I don't want to break their bond. Besides Ive been away for a few years. How do I balance this out correctly?

Kids as young as 8 or 9 have suicidal thoughts over bullies. The youngest shooter I've heard of was only 10. Though it's more common in high schools, it does happen at younger ages too. Even with teens, it's the new "normal". We had just as much guns back then. Children were allowed to go hunting with them. They had more freedom to bully others on the playground or locker room. But although less strict then, there was barely any of that. Sure, it did happen, but way less common. Ever since the last few years, it's been happening often. The victims get younger and younger. It used to be mostly older teens, then younger teens, then pre-teens and now grade schoolers are involved.

Here's the deal: I'm 16 and my mom is 47. My dad passed away when I was 11. For two years she was a shut in. She cut back on her hours at work and didn't cook for us (Me and my younger brother had to raise ourselves). After 2 years my mother finally recovered and got her social life back in order. Eventually she met this man while at a small party. They started talking and then dating. All was fine until my mom invited him to move in 2 years ago. When he moved in he started to control us and how we live. First he started watching us with our homework and wouldn't leave me or my brothers side until we were done. Then he told my mom to get tracking devices on our cell phones. If we weren't at the house he would call us several times and demanded to know where we were going. He also banned junk food in the house and made us go vegetarian (could only eat meat when alone). It increasingly got worse with child filters, internet tracking, limiting internet time to 2 hours a day, and drug tests once a month. The last straw was when he installed cameras throughout the house, INCLUDING OUR ROOMS! (said it was for "safety") We now have to get changed/dressed in the bathroom. My mom agreed with everything to keep him happy even though me and my brother refused. On Christmas Eve he proposed in front of our whole family and she agreed. Me and my brother do NOT want this man to be our step-father. We are deciding to formally state we won't attend the wedding. How should we tell my mom this?
