Family: Question: I'm 20. Lost, and trying to move out of an abusive home?

Question: I'm 20. Lost, and trying to move out of an abusive home?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:51 PM PDT

I live with my mom. It's been a rough road, and I would like to leave now. I want to head to college, but no funds. I want to move out, but she won't allow me to get a job! I want my own house/apartment. I'm lost on what to do, anymore. I'm very creative, and I'm trying to start my own T-shirt business with my art on it. I need something, something to get started and fast. I am unsure of what else to do. If I stay there she will continue to shelter me and yell at me. It's weird because she wants me out? But at the same time she doesn't? I need to leave ASAP. I have dealt with years of torture from her, the yelling and the assumptions. Getting accused of things I did not do. I am tired and fed up, I want to leave now. It's like she wants me tied to her. She buys me things, it's nice and all but I tell her not to. The reason, is because she strings me. Attaches a string to what she buys me. It's a good outlet for when she's mad at me, to take it away. Not that I care, but I'm saying I NEED TO LEAVE ASAP I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO. Sure it might not be 1-2-3 to buy a house, but I need ideas on how to get out & get to college. I also need a job too, yes. I'm just messed up.

Question: What's going on with him? Why is he doing this?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:49 PM PDT

We broke up about a year ago because we were fighting and arguing and his tense family circumstances didn't help as his brother was diagnosed with kidney failure. During the fight he said i didn't know how to treat a man because my parents were divorced and i hadn't seen a loving relationship like his parents. I then went on to say that his mom had no voice in their household. He attacked back saying "at least she didn't come to church dressed in club attire, arms and legs showing" I then responded which I shouldn't have "your mom looked like she came from the stable, you never buy her new clothes." Fast forward two months I saw him staring at me in church so I texted him but he said he would never forgive me and wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again because of what i said about his mom. I didn't respond. Every Sunday in church he'd keep staring at me but I gave him cold looks and avoided his looks. He started smiling and talked to me as I went down the stairs saying hi how are you. I saw him peek through a door crack as he walked past to see if i was still looking at him. The other Sunday, he walked past me and smiled and I smiled back and he winked at me. Recently I've been warm to him looking at him and smiling. I texted him the other day and this how the conversation went. I asked about his brother then he asked me about school and when I get acceptance letters. Is he interested? Why isn't he making a move though?

Question: What are some songs good to listen to when you miss someone or to remember them?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:45 PM PDT

My adopted family basically abandoned me a year ago,I really miss my youngest sister(she was born into the family).The other one I still talk to but the youngest is just 3 and probably will grow up never knowing me or believing a bunch of stuff my mother says about me.I really want to listen to some music about losing or missing someone.I kind of want a song to always remember her when I hear it.

Question: I forgot to flush the toilet on my period!?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:26 PM PDT

I'm 16 and so embarrassed I know it's a natural thing but when I came out of the shower I went into my room and closed my door. I heard my little brother and stepmom go into the bathroom and to my horror I realized I forgot to flush it. Of course I heard a flush and my face turned red and I covered my face for like a minute. They came out laughing like it was the funniest **** ever and I'm honestly NOT coming out of my room I'd rather die

Question: Why does my boyfriend get mad when my cousins roughhouse with me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:15 PM PDT

I have 4 younger male cousins and growing up they would always wrestle me. They are older now and much bigger than me but they still like to roughhouse. Not as much as they used to at least. Pushing me into the lake, dunking/tackling me in the lake, dog piles, stuff like that. I don't mind, I've always found it fun but my boyfriend gets a little overprotective of me when it happens. I've grown up that way though. I think he's afraid I'll get hurt. I've explained to him that that's just how it's always been and I can handle it but I think he still gets uncomfortable and feels the need to protect me.

Question: My mother only loves me if I hate who she hates. Are lots of mothers like this?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 10:57 AM PDT

i just need advice on how i can deal with it until i'm old enough to drive. i'm 15, i'm taking drivers ed soon. i move into a new neighborhood, i've thoight about just leaving my house to walk around or whatever, just please help me.

Question: I hate my stepmom someone help please?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 10:50 AM PDT

I hate my stepmom, I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm forced to live with her and my dad and I can't see my mom bc of a court order. Some of the reasons I hate her are... - she tells me I'm fat and makes me feel bad for eating -she says how I'm flat and ugly -she always says nasty things about my mom -she'll do anything to make my dad mad at me -she says I'm ruining her marriage - she makes me pay for everything including food and water - she argues with my doctors about me having depression and says I'm just a spoiled ***** The list goes on but you guys get it. She is always bitching and she makes me cry all the time. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!

Question: Why does she put up with me?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 10:49 AM PDT

I'm a young girl, I am very close with an older lady. I'm 19 and she is 60. She started as a mentor and grew into a very special friend. I've known her for 4 years, I just got back from visiting her. We talk every day, I can go to her for anything and she will always be open to me. We've been through life stuff, she has helped me throguh school, happy times and sad times. I went to visit her for a week and we went seimming, watched movies, cooked together, had the best time ever! We've been through quite a bit. We have always had a special friendship, she is one of the aweetest feiwnds a 19 year old can have. Well one day we were talking about kids my age and she was explaining how older people don't like to put up with young kids nonsense and that is why she doesn't talk to younger people much, which is true. I asked her if I was one of them, she said I do have my rough days, which we all do but that I was different and that I didn't fall into the category of kids she was talking about. Since we talk a lot and everyday, she does run across my rough days where I can be a bit of a nonsense thinker. She will tell me when I am and I will re-evaluate my words and apologize. Anyway, I know I can be a nonsense person sometimes.. why does she still talk to me and put up with me?

Question: My dad won’t let me go out late?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 10:46 AM PDT

My dad always tells me to always come at 7 which I find it stupid because I'm in high school and about to turn 16 in a couple of months. Occasionally I usually just come home at 8:20-8:40 and he never freaks out. I find this rly dumb and ik he is trying to protect me and I do appreciate it and all but it's unfair how other kids get to come home at 11 when I don't get to and also makes me feel left out and stuff. I'm turning 16 soon and I want to extend my curfew. I never complain about it either because ik it would get a lot worse. I had snuck out once and got caught but he never gave me a punishment for it

Question: Should a 13 year old be allowed to wear crop tops?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 09:44 AM PDT

I have this argument with my daughter every time we go shopping and she finds a crop top. We know they're trendy among preteen and teen girls. Our school district does not have dress codes at the moment (we live in urban Canada). In my opinion, I don't like to see 13 year olds dressed like 20 year olds. There are different kinds of crop tops, though. Some are nice and does not show belly buttons (but still more cropped than the average t-shirt). Others are basically a bra and cropped hoodies are a thing. My daughter is probably just the average early teen or so. Should I just let her?

Question: Can't get along with my ex?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 09:38 AM PDT

My and I have several mutual friends. We all hung out last week and of course my ex and I got into a petty disagreement. He even text me after the party to tell me how wrong I was. I called him and left him a voicemail told him that I haven't hung out with that group of friends because I'm uncomfortable around him but wanted to have a conversation to see if we could smooth out the tension between us so that we don't butt heads every time we see each other. Of course he responded through a very vague text. I text him back that I called to have a conversation because text get easily misinterpreted. I woke up this morning to see that I had a missed call from him at 2:45 a.m. and I a text at 2:50 a.m. that said, "I tried to call". Why would he call me at such a ridiculous time thinking that I would actually be open to talking him at that hour?

Question: How do I convince my parents to go on vacation to Europe?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 09:04 AM PDT

I posted another question regarding this yesterday (look at this question before answering this one): https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20180730012002AAlJomA As you can see, I've been having a hard time convincing my parents to go on vacation to Europe. People in my last question were saying that I was a spoiled brat and that I was unwilling to pay for my trip, that is 100 percent incorrect. My parents and I all have plenty of money saved up and can definitely afford this. I'm not making them pay for all of it, I'll do it (and even if I couldn't pay for all of it, they could help pay some of the cost). Basically, not having enough money isn't the problem, I just can't convince them to start help putting the trip together (flights/hotels/schedules). I repeat: I'm not depending on them to do everything for me, I want them to HELP ME bring my dream to reality. I don't get why they are so unmotivated. All of us have plenty of money saved up and could definitely afford to do this. Our schedules will also be very light in October (I'll be on a long school break that month, my parents can get vacation time off work, and this is the time I want to go), plus airline tickets will be very cheap around that time (as long as we book as soon as possible). I'm very frustrated as I've been wanting to do this for over 10 years now, and I believe I've met all the requirements to do this (we have the money and passports, just not the motivation from my parents). What do I do now?

Question: Parents treat me like a child?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 08:36 AM PDT

I am 17 turning 18 and I am yet to be treated like it. They don't believe I am ready to become financially independent, let alone, go anywhere by myself. I am trying my best to find a job so I no longer have to depend on them (they love witholding money from me and making fun of me for not having any). All my life, I have been secluded and not allowed to step out of the house without them, and if I do, I get a long lecture about how a man could rape me and get me pregnant. I have no friends because my parents don't allow me anywhere by myself with them because I'll turn into a "drug addict," yet a lot of girls my age turned out okay with their parents letting them be independent. I get jealous when I hear of girls who get taken out to dates anywhere beyond 5 miles but I have to stay like 5 minutes away from my house with my boyfriend or no date at all (my mom went to my first date for christ's sake). I spend my nights crying and frustrating myself trying to find a way to get out of this misery, but I just feel trapped, like I have nowhere to go. I need advice for the moment, I don't wanna hear "go get a job" or some bs like that. I just wanna know everything gonna be alright.

Question: What race am I?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 08:32 AM PDT

my parents say im mexican but Im born and raised in las vegas nevada and so are my parents and grandparents but my parents and me dont speak or know any spanish but my grandparents do.

Question: Is it ok for my dad to do this?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 07:59 AM PDT

I just got lice from a dirty motel and told my dad quite loudly outside. He said,"that s disgusting and you don t have to broadcast it to the entire neighborhood" Since I was stressed from the lice and he said it very sarcastically I was rude and said I can do what ever I want and decided to walk in side. That s when he said don t you dare walk away and continued to yell at me. I said please stop yelling. He then slapped me in the face hard enough to leave a 5 star and I ran into my room. From outside the door he yelled at me that he didn t regret what he did and that I deserved it. I m scared of him and I don t know if that was a normal thing for parents to do. My mom also thinks that he did the right thing.

Question: My Dad is a pathological liar. Is this something one can help or is it a mental illness where they don't know they are lying?

Question: Is it normal that my sister is upset because she overheard how I said "I wish I was an only child" to my friend?

Question: Is it pathetic that I'm 31 and still living with my parents?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 05:52 AM PDT

At times I have more mixed feelings about it. It's cheaper to live with my parents at this day and age, but at the same time it's kind of embarrassing, and it feels too restrictive.

Question: Can someone explain this too me? It's about toxic masculinity.?

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 03:35 AM PDT

My ex played me bad. She didn't want to be with me, but yet like me so much that she didn't want anyone else to have me. She used my niece, nephew, mom, sister, and even her own children against me in order to keep me all to herself, and then she ended up telling me this in person just before we broke up. Her sister said that was toxic masculinity. Does that even make any sense? If so, can someone please explain

Question: Is this considered abuse? Will the authorities help?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 11:03 PM PDT

My best friend is now a junior in highschool. He constantly gets yelled at by his father his father has even dumped ice cold water on him before he went to school in the winter. His father is a teacher at the highschool. He constantly tells him how horrible his father is and all of the things that he does. I feel so bad for him and I really wish I could help him. Today he told me that his mother went out to get pizza for dinner and she came back and the father was yelling at her because the pizza was cold, he then took the pizza and threw it in the trash. The father always tries to humiliate my friend in public also. He literally thinks that child services won't do anything. My friend is constantly in such misery and it's horrible. He says that if they even check if he's ok they think that he is ok because the parents just buy him and his siblings electronics. I don't even know what else to say it's just so heart breaking. Someone please tell me.

Question: Have you ever touched your sister's butt?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 10:56 PM PDT

When I was a kid I was 11 and my sister was 17 we were in the pool and we were showing moves or something like that underwater and when I was doing it to her I kept touching her butt like that's all I remember touching while doing it with her. and she didn't say or do anything about it. is it okay and normal since we're brother and sister?

Question: Why don’t I feel?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 09:58 PM PDT

My parents got divorced last year, it was a difficult situation for my entire family especially w/ their off/on relationship + fighting. The day I found out that my mom cheated on my dad & weren't going to be together anymore all of my siblings (sisters & my brother) were v sad, angry, + crying. I didn't feel anything though. I mean I cared I just didn't have any feelings towards it. I didn't cry, wasn't sad or angry. Anyways, a couple weeks ago my grandpa got v sick & ended up in the hospital & I got a phone call from my sister who was crying & said he wasn't doing well. It sucked that he was sick but I didn't cry or feel sad even though I was closer to him more than my siblings. My uncle and my cousins grandma kept asking me if I was okay & made a big deal out of it so I felt obligated to tell them I was sad even though I wasn't. Also when people tell me they love me like family I always say it back but don't feel like that. Like my mom & dad. They were for the most part good parents but I just don't think I love them. I don't love my uncles/aunts/grandparents/cousins & feel bad telling them I do when I don't. I don't even think I know what it feels to love. Why am I not sad at things that most people would be? Why don't I feel like I love ppl. Don't get me wrong, I care about my family, I wouldn't ever want anything bad to happen to them but I don't think I love them (Please don't leave mean or rude comments. I just want someone who has felt this way to give me advice)

Question: My uncles my role model but I don't even know my uncle!? So I kinda don't know who I am?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:57 PM PDT

Basically my uncle lives in a different country with my dads side of the family but my dad lives here, my uncles a high achiever & I know that he is entrepreneurial however he started with a loan from my grandparents, I also have an entrepreneurial plan like my uncle but I have to make the money to make the plan work& I look up to my uncle as my role model in this plan but I've only ever met him twice, so I'm kinda just guessing... I tried to contact my uncle over Facebook but I'm not sure if he knows how to use it or if my family over there want me to go visit them but I'm anxious about meeting them because I haven't gone as far in life as my cousins over there, so it'd be awkward if they started asking what I'm doing with my self etc, but yeah it feels like I don't really know who my role model is and it makes me unable to know who I am ? Is that possible?? Or dangerous for me or anything??

Question: My parents want my phone pass code what do I do?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:43 PM PDT

So my parents take my phone every night before I go to bed and I have no problem with that but yesterday night they took my phone and asked me for my password I told them no because I don't feel comfortable with them going through my phone . Well now she hid it and won't give it back until I give her my password . I don't have anything bad on there but I know she wouldn't approve of my Instagram posts because In my pictures me and my friends pose in ways that my parents would totally dissaprove of even tho it's a normal thing to do on social media in teens minds . I just don't want her going through my photos because there's screenshots of memes that swear or have dirty humour that I've sent to my friends I have absolutely no nudity in my phone I'm just scared my parents will find something in my phone I didn't know about. Please help! ?

Question: How and when should I tell mom I'm moving?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:39 PM PDT

She HATES my dad, no specific reason either, she left him bc he worked nights and "she didn't like that"... She says "I need to be a big girl and move out on my own, not with daddy", but then also complains about me living with her and keeps asking when I'm going to move out... (She's been pushing me since I graduated high school at 16 and I saved up $14,000 and bought a new car and kept steady job for two years, but nothings good enough for her bc now she says "Ill stay at that job the rest of my life instead of finding a REAL career"... My younger sister is 17 now and hasn't even had to get a license, a job, nothing, so mom keeps pushing me and I dunno why but I need to move...) I don't have money yet, just bought the car, so I'll be moving with dad in a month. I don't wanna be treated like **** for a month bc I decided to tell her I'm leaving her for dad, but shes just as likely to say "Good, get out"... I dunno what her reaction will be so when should I tell her..? Shes very controlling and has already told me all the places I am "allowed" to move to, calls everywhere else a "shithole" with her stuffy/snobby voice.. I don't wanna hear it from her about me moving w dad, so do I tell her or leave a note..?

Question: How do I deal with my parents fighting all the time?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:32 PM PDT

It's over the smallest problems - buying pizzas, feeding the goldfish, little brother's eyeglasses, closing windows. They have very different beliefs on how kids and pets should be treated. If they can't argue about it in the afternoon, they'll have the fight at night. I remember them arguing a lot since my preschool years (for some reason, I can remember my very early years). They just can't seem to agree on much.

Question: My mom is making me suicidal?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:27 PM PDT

I'm a 17 year old who's been terrified of my mom since I was 13. My parents are divorced because my dad cheated on her and hurt her, and she's become a huge alcoholic since then. If I have a problem with her, she will absolutely go nuts and start screaming at me about how I'm accusing her of being a terrible mother. For example today I mentioned how growing up was lonely since our house is in the woods away from people, and how it was always sad that I never had friends that lived nearby growing up. She ended up screaming at me saying I was impossible to please and that I was the most ungrateful child, and even that I was accusing her of ruining my childhood. I just wanted her to understand how I felt not being able to see any friends growing up, but it seems like it's impossible to get through to her. These arguments always happen when she's drunk. I'm supposed to meet up with a friend tomorrow, but I'm scared to even go because my mom will threaten to call the police to track me down if I'm not home at an estimated time. She absolutely terrifies me. She's even seen me physically hitting myself out of frustration while she's screaming at me, and instead of trying to calm me down, she yells at me to stop it and asks what the heck is wrong with me. I don't think she has any idea how scared I am to even live with her anymore. I want to move out, but I'm not an adult yet and have nowhere to go. I just need some help, especially since I've been considering suicide to end this.

Question: How far in advance do I tell mom I'm moving?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:26 PM PDT

First off, she's very controlling and says I can't do anything w/out her permission. Can't even choose my own place to live bc "she doesn't like it"... She owes me $1000 and she can pay it in full, but she chose not to bc "she doesn't feel like it" and has been giving me $200/mnth for my car payment... (She says Ill blow the $$ otherwise, but seems to forget I saved up $14,000 for a new car...) Her husband left her just recently, and instead of being upset all she said to him was "Good, go." So I'm moving in w dad for now til I get on my feet, and I dunno if she'll treat me like **** for leaving her and going to dad instead.. (she likes to say what a failure he is and many years ago took me away from dad and said I wont be moving w him bc he'll never make me move out so I'll never be on my own... So if/when she hears I'm moving w him she'll sh*t a brick... Also thinks if I stay at a job longer than 6 months, that I'm a failure bc I haven't found a career and she thinks ill stay at that job the rest of my life...) I have no idea how she'll react to me moving, if I don't mention dad, she may still treat me bad and yell at me or just say "Its about time..." Or talk about what a failure I am to the rest of the family, or make up stories of how I left without warning and maybe even say I damaged stuff and try to sue me... Theres no telling w her... Soo I'm moving in a month, how should I go about telling her, and do I do it in advance or say bye as I head out or leave a note...?

Question: Why is my son being very rude to my daughter?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:24 PM PDT

My son is eighteen years old and my daughter is five about to turn six. My son has a habit of constantly mentioning this restaurant that he likes which my daughter hates and has made known before. He brought it up to my daughter as a joke and caused her to threaten to punch him in the face. Half an hour later, he talked about it again, and she called him stupid. Why is he being rude towards her?

Question: My parents want my phone Passcode what do I do?

Question: How much in advance should I tell my mom I'm moving out? And tips on how to tell her?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 08:09 PM PDT

She thinks it's her responsibility to "push" me bc I dunno what to do w my life, so she thinks pushing me more will make me figure it out, and then complains what a failure I am when I don't do something the way she wants me to... Wants me out of the house, even tells me hurry up and get out so she can use my room as her new office. But then complains when I say I won't be moving into the "rich ppl" apts nearby bc she thinks anywhere cheaper is all a "shithole". So while she wants me out, she also says I can't move anywhere she doesn't approve... So I'm moving out with my dad for now to figure out what to do w my life bc I think I need to get away from my mom to do anything. (Mom took me away from Dad as a kid and Dad wants me to come w him now instead of getting my own place, so why not save up more and grow relationship w dad..?) I dunno how she'll react to me leaving, she may get mad I didn't tell her sooner or happy and say "about time!" Honestly I see both reactions... I prefer not to tell her where bc she said I can't move in w dad either bc "I'll never be motivated to find a career". I'm gonna move in about a month, and I don't wanna tell her too early bc I've heard enough of her complaining about me as a "failure" and don't wanna be treated like **** longer than I need to... I was thinking of saying "bye I'm leaving" as I walk out the door or just leave a note for her to come home to, but not sure if I should be that short notice either... Please Help...?

Question: How do I convince my parents to go on vacation to Europe?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 06:20 PM PDT

I've been dreaming of going to Europe (England and France) since I was very young (around 3-5 years old). I've been begging my parents to go for so many years, but they usually would say it was too expensive. However, we now have enough money saved up and can definitely afford a European vacation, but my parents don't seem motivated. I've brought this up several times recently, and they usually say things like "you're still young" or "you'll get there someday." (I won't give out my age, but I'm in my teens.) I don't get why they have no interest in going, because we all have so much money saved up, and our schedules aren't too heavy. What excuse do they have now? My parents are very nice and will do anything to make me happy, but for some reason they aren't trying hard to help me fulfill my dream of going to Europe. This really baffles me. What should I do now?

Question: Could my mother be cited for child neglect for alienating us from our grandfather but letting us see a pedophile relative by marriage?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 03:55 PM PDT

She was mad at her father for suffering from alcoholism and so she banned us from him and stole him from us. However, she allowed us to see her cousin's pedophile brother-in-law each year at 4th of July and Thanksgiving. Our grandfather was a good man who simply had a disease that made him crave alcohol and get moody when drunk. However, the cousin's brother-in-law was a pedophile who sexually abused 3 people in his family and went to prison for rape and drugs. So could my mother be cited for child neglect and even jailed for this? It has been a good while as the grandfather she stole from us died in 1998 and my Mom's cousin divorced in 2001 and so we have not seen her ex's family since then including the pedophile.

Question: What would happen if I told my Mom all the pain she has caused me?

Question: My aunt will not speak to my mother cause she does not like a friend of my mother's. Is this fair?

Question: My father betrayed his parents when I was a kid. Might his family think less of me because of how he betrayed them?

He betrayed them by refusing to be active in his mother's life due to conflicts my Mom had with her. He got close to them again after his divorce from my Mom. 20 years later could his family think less of me and what do I do to make up if they do? We have been close to them ever since my parents divorced 21 years ago. My Dad really betrayed his parents though for 8 years as a way of pleasing my mother (the divorce was my mother's doing).

Question: My Dad does not love me. Could it be he is unable to love through no fault of his own? Is this possible?

Question: Since my father is an alcoholic would he be cured if the whole family refused to speak to him like my Mom says?

Question: Should I trust my step mother?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 03:29 PM PDT

So my mother died when I was only 9, but we were very close. My dad and I were also close, but anyway, he remarried when I was 13 to a 30 year old woman (he was 42 & wealthy so I'm pretty sure she was only with him for money) anyway; I'm gonna be honest. She was very nice to me and I was awful to her, but I mean I had recently lost my mother. So anyway, after a year, she basically gave up and she was equally as rude to me. My father hated it, but never divorced her. Anyway, when I turned 20, I moved across the country to go to school and eventually got a job there and started my life. I'm now 34 and have 2 kids (7 & 4) and my father is very ill with cancer, and I want to spend as much time with him as I can, but that would mean allowing my children to be alone with my my step mother, who still despises me... what do you guys think?

Question: Why is my mother so controlling of me?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 02:35 PM PDT

So to start off I am 20 y/o and my mother is very controlling. Like the other day my mom had her friend in the car and when we stopped at our destination to get out she went inside of the place and I was right behind her, and she's like get he door for her (her friend) but her door was already opened and I told her. She said to me again get her door in a rushing controlling voice so I did. My mom also thinks she has the right to tell me to put my phone away ar the table when we are in another place besodes our house like at my friend's house or family's house when everyone else my age does it to and she only tells me and no one else in a rude demanding way. Sometimes I would tell her something like "I'd wash the dishes" and she always shakes her head and gets upset with me and says I'll get it. I'd ask her why is she upset? And she would say you're rude the way you're speaking when I'm not. And my sister or others that's near would tell her I didn't say it in a rude way. She's always bullies/attacks me for no reason.

Question: How come so many of my relatives are Nigerian Princes?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 01:19 PM PDT

I keep getting this email saying that im a relative of a Nigerian Prince and asking me for credit card info so they can send cash. Each time its from a different person, I have counted and I am the relative of 57 Nigerian Princes. It seems fishy, should I trust it?

Question: I moved to another state after college and returned after 37 years. How do I stop my younger sister from trying to control my life?

Question: How to make my parents understand having 2 Polaroid cameras?

Posted: 29 Jul 2018 12:01 PM PDT

So I got myself a Polaroid Snap Touch more than half a year ago and it doesn't really feel like an instant camera, it feels like a digital camera with a bad LCD screen and a small photo printer. I found out about the Polaroid One Step 2 (with the updated viewfinder), which takes bigger pictures and really seems to be an instant camera. But my parents don't understand the reason to have a Polaroid camera at all and they don't understand having two. I have explained that I really like the feel of a picture in my hands right after I have shot it and that this one takes bigger pictures (possibly with a better quality aswell, as Snap Touch sometimes really messes up colours with printing and doesn't seem to have good quality [as in sharpness]). Is there a way I could make my parents understand why I want this new camera? (It's not really about them losing money as I have enough money to buy the One Step 2)
