I have a 6 year old brother who is probably one of the most disrespectful child you've ever meet. He's rude, loud and obnoxious, and never listens to my mom or my dad. Now, I understand he's younger, I get that he's a kid, most kids act "silly" at times, but my brother is a whole different story. As you could probably tell me and my brother don't have the best relationship. He constantly swears at me, interrupts me, and tells me that nobody listens he's me. I know he's wrong, but c'mon now! He's 6 years old!! He's also calls my mom, "boi" and my dad, "dude" instead of what a normal child would call their parents. As for not listen half the time, he always messes with our dog Millie by hugging her (Not meant to hug dogs if you didn't know), lies down on her, and constantly pushes and hits her. I tell my parents this and they don't care! I also have a disabled brother, and he treats him like crap. Ives tried taking matters into my own hands, but I just get in trouble for it when my parents don't even care what he does! He doesn't care about anyone elses feelings expect for himself, and I'm just so sick of it. Sorry if I seem like I'm the one acting like a brat or a child, I'm up fed up with it!

I recently turned 18 and I've always had issues with my parents guilt tripping me and since i've been making more of my own independent decisions I really need to get over the fact that it gets to me so easily when I dont do exactly what they want. I've tried having a calm conversation which usually results in my parents getting angry and leaving, there for to ensure the argument. They always avoid the uncomfortable topic. What should I do?

Whether I am in my room doing my makeup or cleaning my room or whatever, she still comes up the stairs saying, "Woo, look at all of these clothes. Payton's going to have to clean these up." When she knows that I can clearly hear her. It's like she's too much of a wuss to just ask me! Today, I was making MYSELF chocolate covered strawberries because it's Valentine's day. She comes in from work and says, "I got your dad and I chocolate cake." So I was like, "Okay! So you and dad have chocolate cake, and I have chocolate covered strawberries!" And she went on to say, "Well, your dad likes chocolate strawberries so you need to give him one or two." Of course I argued the fact that they had chocolate cake and I had a few chocolate covered strawberries that I only made for MYSELF to eat. I finally gave up with her pity party and gave my dad two strawberries. She then gave me a look and told me to give him another one. They recently just got into an argument and separated for like only three days. She has always taken up for him. She cleans up his messes, cooks his food, plates his food, picks out his work clothes, IRONS his work clothes, fixes his lunch, AND packs his lunch. It is ridiculous! It's like he is a four year old. of course, that makes me resentful towards both of them, because she nags me for not cleaning ONE THING the way she wanted it clean, and he gets away with EVERYTHING. It's quite infuriating. Could someone please explain to me why she does this?

I'm 14 and someone delivered a single tide pod as a sample inside the mailbox. My parents never use them cuz they prefer liquids. If I dothe challenge with it, will something drastic happen to me?

The 15 year old dresses her sister "sexy", puts the heavy makeup on her that SHE wears. The little girl seems to like it. The teen is exposing her to explicit music, dance moves, and words that are inappropriate. I understand that it might be fun, but there are pedophiles on those live-streaming apps. The parents aren't supervising these girls on them. They don't seem to be around much to parent these girls, leaving the 15 year old to "raise" the toddler. I'm overall concerned about the child's safety and who might get ahold of these dance videos. There's no pornography involved, but they are still not suitable for a child so young.

I'm 16 years old. My sister is 14. My Father died 5 years ago and before he died he bought my family a dog. His reason was since my sister and I always wanted a dog he wanted to fulfill that wish, but also he wanted us to have something to help us with out loss and he said the Dog would be like a symbol of his love and the dog would look over us just how he would. My father passed a few weeks after this. About 2 years ago my mom met a guy and they started dating. He proposed to my mother a few months ago and my mother said yes. About a week ago he told my mom he doesn't like dogs so if we are going to live as a family she has to get rid of the dog. They kinds started arguing and I overheard. My mother got upset at his request and felt that he was coming into our lives to take something away that was already here before him. He said since he's going to be the man of the house it's his house his rules. The argument ended up dying down but they haven't come to a decision yet. Although knowing my mom, if she ends up deciding to go along with what he says, it would only make her resent him, and it would make me and my sister resent him. Honestly, I'm really close to punching him in the face. How is he going to come into my life and take away a member of my family that was here before him, and something my father left behind.

I love my sister very much, but I am worried about her. Her husband is very controlling. He doesn't allow her to go visit family hardly ever. And even has kept her from attending very important family events (funeral, graduation party for sibling, and important wedding anniversary party for parents etc.) Furthermore, she is the breadwinner he doesn't work. He has a great college degree, and could probably be earning a salary worth twice what she is earning. They have no kids at the moment so it's not because he is taking care of kids. Maybe it is none of my business... But I know it is hurting my parents to not see them and also the rest of our siblings. Should I do anything? Or should I leave well enough alone? I miss my sister, and so does the rest of our family.

so i have an elder sister who is elder by 2 years and she is extremely dominating.Shes is now married to her bf of 11 years and she believes she has the right to give her opinion is almost everything i do without even people asking for her. I already feel so humiliated that she had been the successful one and i want and when she opinionates herself i think she must feel that im sucha low brain girl. She had successfully kept her love life a secret, the guy converted to christianity and married ina church the same month i broke up from my ex whcih was an important relationship because i had oral s** with him. And now that shes on my whatsapp too and i really find no way of blocking her without letting her know. I mean i want to block her how she had been blocking me off her way by cunningly dominating and playing around. How do i do this.

So my bedroom has gotten cold before where I have a big ol' hole in my wall because of my dog but that's blocked and covered. But here's where the issue comes in: My mom's room (aka the master bedroom) is always colder than the rest of the house. So I understand my mom because I've been freed when it's 62 in the house so idk how cold it was when she turned it on this morning. And it's been on for a good solid 20 minutes, maybe longer now and I went to make sure it was an auto which it was but it was only @ 63. When she put it on, it easily could have been at 58 or 60. And my bedroom is actually hot at 63 when it shouldn't be. I want to try closing my vent (don't know if it'll help anything) but the little lever thing to close it is stuck. While my room is hot at 63, my moms is still freezing and she's tried closing her bathroom window a decent amount. Btw, I can't really open my window as a solution because I have black garbage bags coveriit since my neighbors have a security light that shines directly into my room. So when it gets too hot in my room, I'll usually wake up & turn off the heater & I already know 63 is cold throughout the rest of the house except my room. And it messes with my sleep too. Degree wise: I'm talking in terms of Fahrenheit. Also, I don't like sleeping on top of my covers because I like covers. So any suggestions that could be a possible solution for both my mom and I hopefully without me having to lose a lot of sleep?

I was complainin a little not being given lots of money like my friends to buy video games and stuff. He said Ive had lots of money in the past and Ive been costing him money since before I was born. I couldnt help that they had to have IVF. Tbh i feel like running away or killing myself just so the IVF money turns out to a waste to him

About 3 and a half years ago, my mother whom I live with had people come in my room in my while I was away. When o came back, my room smelled horrible. There was a foul odor deep in the carpet that is still there to this day. Nothing I do gets rid of it. I tried everything-wiping the walls with cleaning agents, opening the windows, using air freshener-Nothing works. My room used to have a very nice aroma to it. But it was ruined when those people came in. I'm angry about this situation because I feel like something good was taken away from me against my will. Every morning I wake up to that horrible smell, and I think about how nice it used to be before those people came in, and I get very angry. How can I deal with this? I still haven't told my mom how I feel about this.

I think my grandchildren are spoiled lazy because they feel as if they can't walk or go nowhere without some form of transportation. They too lazy to walk a couple of blocks to the grocery store to get a loaf of bread for god sakes without having to drive or be driven there. I remember back in the day when I had to walk a couple miles to the grocery store to bring back a arm full of groceries. Asking my grandkids to walk a couple of blocks for a loaf of bread is like asking them go cut their throats figuratively speaking. My back yard is about a ¼ of an acre, which to me is not very big at all. I asked my grandchildren to rake some leaves to earn a few dollars, They want me to pull out the riding mower with the leaf attachment so they can do the job done. I only pull that thing out is when do the front yard which is pretty big. But you get the picture on how lazy they are. Mind you that my children wasn't raised like that and respects a Hard Day's Work because I taught them what I knew and that wasn't being lazy. All my grandchildren want to do is play video games when they're at my house and don't want to go outside to do any outdoor activities whatsoever. I literally have to fake power outages to shut the games off so they can get up and outside to do something. They're good kids Smart in school but lazy as hell.

My boyfriend is 25 we just had a baby 6 months ago We are currently living with my parents in the basement until we get our money situation good enough to buy our own house. We pay my mom rent And he has 3 brothers He lived with them until moving in with me and he always paid all the bills. But they work the bare minimum. And they can't afford the place they live in so he is constantly having to pay their rent, power or water. One of the brothers is on his car insurance that he doesn't pay at all. He just paid 400 to bail one of them out of jail. And even when they do have money for the bills he is still going online and paying it for them. Their parents say they are grown so they don't help them at all. So he feels he is responsible for them And they aren't learning to be adults because he does everything for them. I have brought it up many times but he doesn't see anything wrong with it We are never going to be able to better our own situation because any money he has left over from his own bills goes to them. And it even goes as far as Netflix, Hulu, & wwe he only keeps so they can watch it. We don't use any but Netflix but he won't cancel them bc they don't have cable. He's bought diapers and formula a handful of times for his actual child My mom helps out a lot so I think he relys on her to much. Should this be as much of a problem as I'm making it? I'm all for helping family but this seems a little much. Would you be upset? I just wanna know if I'm out of line or what

I'm 15 (female) and she should be 17-18 years old as a senior in HS. Lots of her followers are from the school she claims to be from. People comment things that close friends would on her page, like inside jokes and compliments to bring her up. We're gonna meet soon. I can't video chat or anything. Most likely she's just another girl. But I've heard the horrors.

I don't want my parents to turn 50 it makes me sad they're still 8 to 10 years for that but I feel sad especially 60 it will hurt more

I grew up in a single parent household. And my parents were divorced pretty much the whole time I can remember. But every other house I went to of friends and family who were married. Didn't put their kids first. And they were married for a long time. As a child it meant much more to me to see two loving parents than my own needs. And it was to my friends too. They felt a better of security and comfort knowing they always had a home and no matter what they always had two loving parents. I'm not sure why a lot of people need to feel like saying "my kids come first" should be said so loud as to throw it in the others person face. Usually its single women or women who aren't married.

She won't let me since he remarried 3 years ago

How do I make sure someone takes me even if I am too sick to drive? Like if I have a tooth infection that makes me very ill or a kidney stone. Last year we had a small one and three people were too sick to come and two had a flu despite it being June. That is what has me scared (a 3rd had emergency cancer surgery two days before). The two who had the flu were not close so had not gotten it from each other. We expect 75-100 people.

I'm 13 and I wished we never moved. Everyone gets mad easily, Nobody can find their belongings, we can't cook yet, and my mom hates carpets so there's construction. Most bedrooms are upstairs and replacing the carpet with hardwood means we have to sleep in the basement. I can't even go upstairs because they haven't glue dried the floor yet! My parents wanted a bigger house but its been so annoying for the past few days. Everything is apparently dangerous and I'm not allowed to go near anything.

I would hide her car keys for discipline. She is 23 going on 6 in maturity. I am 17.

Ever since I was born, my dad has been an alcoholic. There have been moments where he had been completely sober, and moments where he would go a whole week without eating, just binge drinking his heart out. Thankfully, my parents are divorced and I'm not exposed to his addictive drinking frequently. However, I'm greatly concerned about his health and my family's financial safety as he is the breadwinner, leading me to view him more as an damaged ATM than as a person. Our relationship has been on a decline ever since I turned 16 (I'm currently 18) after realizing how disturbing of a drunk he is. A couple months ago, I tearfully expressed my true feelings towards his alcoholism and why he should stop for the well-being of our family. He hugged me and consoled me, but weeks after that moment, he has called me a "diva" and "retard" to my mother, comparing me to my older sister, who he despises for not doing business relating things that he asked for out of her consent (its ridiculous). Now, his favorite child is my younger sister, who isn't comfortable enough to discuss about her concerns about his alcoholism. Its almost as if speaking about his personal problems is embarrassing for him, misconstruing criticisms or concerns to being offensive.. I know its a family issue, but typing and hearing what people say helps me think clearly again. Should i confront my dad once more despite him taking it poorly or remain quiet about his alcoholism for him to respect me?

I am not against abortion, but I never expected this from her. My sister and her husband are hardcore pro life so if they knew there's no telling what would happen. She's legally an adult and is in her second year of college. She won't give me any details about the father, but as far as I know he is in another relationship. What she wants is for me to travel with her (it's pretty far) so she isn't alone and help her pay. My main concern is if she regrets it and just keeping this secret in general. I'm leaning towards helping her, but I'm still so unsure. Never really thought this would happen to someone I know.

My girlfriend and I just started dating for almost a month. She's really busy with school and we barely text. I knew this getting into the relationship. She's going to college, taking six classes and just really busy to text. She spends all day every day to study. I admire her dedication but I wish she would text me a little more. There were days where I would text her asking what she's doing and she would say, "Watching a movie." And I would be annoyed because if she has free time I would want her to text me. I feel ignored and I don't want to bother her but I want her to text me more it's pissing me off. It's basically on the table. She knows I would talk her ear off. However when we have dates we have a lot of fun and all her attention is on me. But when she's busy with school work I feel like I don't exist. It's difficult to date her because I'm trying really hard to be supportive and not be in the way but it makes me feel like we aren't even dating. Like I don't even have a girlfriend. We probably exchange 10 words a day. Some days she does text me and really talk to me at night until she passes out. I feel I should be a priority too not just her school work

I was veryabusive to my siblings once, i was interviewed by child services and social services. They even kicked me out of my house once. Do i have a child abuse record?

Me and my bf have been dating for nearly 3 years, and it has been really hard because my mom keeps tearing us apart. When I first started dating my bf, my mom got so pissed she said my bf is too short, and not rich enough. (I dated this other guy before who cheated on me but my mom liked him because he was in law school. She said that "players" turns out to be the best husband material). She made me break up with my bf twice (even though he was trying to get taller by taking some medications). But eventually, we just kept getting back together cause we couldn't be apart. Then when I moved to another city for work my mom said he can't come with me (she said I can't support him while he looks for a job, and he has to pay the rent). He eventually found a job in the city but my mom made me break up with him to go back to my hometown to take another college degree. A few months later we got back together, but whenever he gave me a gift (even just candies) my mom would get so angry and smash it all over the house and hit me. Fast forward to 2017 my BF got a job in NY and I finished my degree. I followed him to NY (his parents moved us there and gave us some money to start-off). My mom said I ran off, and basically calls me every day and it would get me and my bf angry and we would fight. It's driving me crazy.
