Ok so my reputations at stake. For the past 4 years my gift has been his favorite, I can't loose my title. But for the life of me I can't figure out what to get him! He just doesn't get excited like he did as a kid. Right now I'm thinking about getting him a piñata of a character he hates, filling it with confetti and crap and also a plastic box that won't be demolished. Zip tying that box shut and filling it with like 20 bucks worth of nickels and another gift. I can't figure out that gift though! I was going to get him one of the giant ridiculous head masks from Walmart but I think my mom already did that, which he's totally going to flip over, so I need something else. Things to know. 1. He loves random stuff. The weirder and more unexpected the better. 2. He's nerdy, loves video games and books 3. He likes playing games and discovering stuff but he's not into typical guy sports or outdoor stuff. Help me plan something memorable!!

First of all, sorry for my bad english. So I've been living with my grandparents since childhood after my parents sent me to their house since my parents were too busy with work to take care of me. From the age of 4 til now, I've been living with them with such little to no freedom. And no, I'm not trying to act like those edgy teenagers out there because when I said I have no freedom, I meant it. You see, my grandparents (especially my grandma) have a mindset from the back old days and easily manipulated by others. They literally still treat me like a child despite me being 21 years old already. She won't let me freely meet up with my friends, won't let me stay out after 9 pm, forced me to go to bed at 10, won't let me choose my clothing style and made me dressed like the people from back in 70s to 80s (no, i wasn't trying to dress like lil pump or those weird cliques style. Just something that's casually modern), won't let me eat foods that I want, and other daily stuffs. But boy it doesn't stop there, she won't let me have a driving license...EVER, won't let me make passport because she doesn't want me to die from plane crash, won't let me walk around in public alone because of her afraid that I might gonna get kidnapped or lost and crying to find a way home (pretty silly I know), won't let me to have a gf because she's afraid that the girl will lie to me and run away with all my money. (continue) So you might be wondering if it's because I don't have a job or still am immature for her to behave like that.Actually no, currently working with event company and gaining $2837 a month, I could say that I'm currently have a stable job.But that still can't make me happy because of how controlling my grandma is, all my the money I made I had to give it all to her for her to keep them "safe". Can you imagine that you had to ask permission from your grandma to make her give the MONEY THAT YOU MADE? On top of that, I can't even buy things that I want. So basically my salary only spent on bills, rent, kitchen groceries and other. The rest of it goes to my grandparents to spend on themselves. Not to mention that she's have been forcing me to quit my current job and work with my uncle at his tiny store. Basically she's been trying to control my career choice as well. So why don't I just move out if things are like this? (continue) Because trust me, that's my ultimate goal at the moment. Except she threaten me that she will cut the family ties with me and made my uncles and aunts hate me as well and forced this one drug addict uncle of mine to make my life miserable (this uncle of mine was super abusive towards me back when i was a kid and even stabbed me on my palm once). So I don't want to cut family ties or being beaten to death just because I want some freedom. My parents? They had to obey her fully.(continue on final) So if my grandma actually able to give me the freedom that I've always dream of, will I survive on my own out there, to your answer, absolutely! Sure there might be gonna be obstacles that I will have to face but it's better to start facing them now than at the age of 35+. I mean, for a starter, i already have a stable job that I enjoy for **** sake! If some of you think I'm still immature for life, then do you think letting my grandma controlling me for another 10 to 20 years will change that?

*Rulings on menstruation There are many rulings to do with menstruation, more than twenty, of which we will mention those which we think are most essential. They are: 1 – Ghusl"washing" and Prayer and touching Quran Allah is Almighty and have a special high position in Islam, that position forces everyone to respect Him willingly or unwillingly, and the one doesn't find a thing that magnifies and glories Allah greater than to pray to Him and read His words while pure, which means that pure is from the essentials in Islam, and it is the base that on which all the impositions / obligations are based . For the issue of a menstruation, the menstruating woman is forbidden to perform any religious obligation, such as prayer and fasting and touching the Quran, during her period until she does ghusl / washing her full body after the end of the menstruation time. After the end of a period, the woman is forced to wash her full body, then , she can pray and fast and practice her worship in freedom. With regard to the menstruating woman reading Qur'aan, if she is looking at it or thinking of it in her heart, without speaking the words out loud, there is nothing wrong with that With regard to mentioning Allah, magnifying Allah, saying Subhaan-Allaah, praising Allaah, saying In the name of Allah , when eating and so on, and reading hadeeths of the prophet , fiqh and du'aa's, or saying Ameen to du'aa's, and listening to Quran, none of these things are forbidden to her.

She even lost her other two children who my Mom now raises due to her staying with this wife beater who is a registered sex offender and thus can't be around her kids.

Now no one is going to one to come to the event I have in June since they all just saw each other. I am devastated. My summer will be ruined.

My son is 9 years old. We like to hang out with a couple of families that also have kids a little younger than him (girls 6 and 7). He and them are friends. One of the girls doesn't have a father anymore, so for some reason she likes to pretend like I'm her father and often gets close to me and hugs me. Obviously this would make my son jealous, but it's not something I can really control. We tried explaining things to him over and over... that he's my son, and he's the only one we love, and that the younger kid is just pretending. We tried rewards and punishments, but it doesn't seem to matter. At the spur of the moment, if the other kid runs up to me to hold my hand.. it's over, he starts a fight with her, and gets mad at me for the whole day, and makes things awkward for all the parents. How can I help him overcome his jealousy so that he stops acting this way?

I swear one day I'm going to punch her in the face

Is there a reason why my uncle's wife blocks out his entire family? She never invites his parents, nephews, nieces, brothers to any family event. She only invites her side of the family.

He used to borrow money from his dad to keep his business afloat and to pay his mortgage. The business has never been successful. Now he keeps having to extend the line of credit on his and my mom's house to keep his business afloat. If they sold the house (valued at about $1 million) and moved into a smaller house, they wouldn't have money problems. The house and property are commercially zoned so the business would have to fold too. However, he says that he would rather have a stroke behind the wheel of his truck than retire and that if he didn't have his business his life would have no meaning. He's 66. My mom is upset and hates the stress of constantly being in debt and not having money for groceries

The other day my brother challenged me and our sister to find the weirdest things on amazon fir under $5 and gift them to each other. I already have one, a pig foot pillow (yes i meant pig), and i need one more. Any suggestions? I've looked and can't find anything weird enough

Just one of the many of the things that happen. Bear in mind I haven't done anything wrong this day: Basically I go to get some orange juice and I grab a glass to pour some OJ. I drop the glass (not sure why honestly I must've just let it slip out of my fingers) but it's an accident. My mom hears the sound and instantly starts screaming. Keep in mind this isn't "What happened!" Imagine a ballistic middle aged woman screaming at the top of her lungs over a dropped glass. It's obviously my mess so I offer to clean it up but she continues screaming about things I barely understand. She didn't even stop to ask if I was ok since I was barefoot. I just don't understand why she reacts like that over something pretty small. (The glass isn't worth anything it's like a Thomas the tank engine cup)

My father has always been the controlling,manipulative,and verbally abusive person he is for as long as I can remember. If he doesn't get his way he would do whatever it took to scream out his point. My mom divorced him and my older sister moved away. I'm looking for places with my friend in the spring, I'm visiting my mom now for the holidays and I'm dreading the thoughts of going back to his house. Also I'm a recent college graduate and I was at my Dads to save money.Since I have a job he constantly mooches off me for money. He wastes every last dollar he has to buy lottery tickets and liquor. I refuse to get angry at him anymore.However, I refuse to stay mad at him and until I leave I'm done with him.I'm not sure what steps to take next.

My family's not very wealthy at all, and I've always shared a bunk bed with my brother while my mum sits on the sofa. I've had a job recently but the money all disappears towards food I buy (lunch when I'm at school and dinner if I'm out) and Uni (as much of my fees as I can pay). But my dad, the only other person who works in my family, goes of on holiday to another country and buys nice food for himself while I always get the cheapest I can find. I'm 19. Is this normal? I just feel sort of sad because my friends will buy things like make up and clothes and I'm still wearing what I had at 14. Thanks :)

I am 20 and my 16 year old sister thinks that she is better than me. She is very confident and thinks that she is more mature than me and that she can do and understand everything better than me. Every time I come home from university I try to be nice to her and have a better realtionship with her but I just can't because it's very undermining to have a 16 year old treat you like a child when you're 4 years older than her. She tells me what to do like she's older than me and talks to me like I'm completely dumb. I've tried to talk to my parents but they won't do anything about it. My mother likes that my sister is the way she is because she's glad that she has a lot of confidence unlike my mother or myself. My father understands what I'm feeling but would never stand up to my mother or sister. How can I put her in her place and show her that she isn't abover me and that I am the adult not her? I can't be mean to her the way she is to me because I would feel bad for upseting her. She on the other hand knows that I am a sensitive person and will say anything she wants to upset me without feeling any guilt. How can I stand Up to her?

Long story short, we share a father, different mothers. I'm 13, she's 3. Our dad abandoned me before I was even born and I've never had a relationship with him, saw him once when I was like 1 but obviously don't remember. Well he has another daughter now and the only reason I know of her is because I found his Facebook profile and saw pictures. I've never felt more unwanted. It's been over a year of me freaking out over this and trying to get ready mentally to not only meet my sister one day, but him. I have severe social anxiety and I'm terrified. First step would be telling my mom that my little sister exists as she doesn't even know, but I don't know how to bring it up. This will be painful for her as well. But I just want to be in my sisters life. The clock is ticking and we're both getting older. I would hate to miss out on more of her childhood. What would you do in my situation? Do you have any advice? Should I try to forgive our father for ignoring my existence for 13 years? What if he doesn't even want contact? How would he even explain this situation and that he's a piece of **** father (to me) to a toddler? All I know is that I cannot keep living like this. I cannot spend another birthday of hers alone in my bedroom crying because I was unable to celebrate with her.

Not sure if a lot of this is necessary. I'm a freshman in high school & my parents are separated. I live with my mom now, and I see my dad a few times a week. As for my mother constantly irritating me, I have some sort of idea for why, but I'm not sure if it really is the case. For about five/six months now, she has had a boyfriend. I really dislike him, not because of he of how he isn't my dad. In fact, I'm happy that she has found someone. It's just that his smoker voice really creeps the hell out of me, and he makes constant sex jokes that make me want to cry from being so uncomfortable. He also makes really weird comments that include the fact that my mom is Asian and I am Half Asian. Which is about the time of when I want to run into my room and scream into a pillow out of frustration. Our walls are also very thin. You can practically hear everything that goes on inside the house. I can hear them having sex vividly, and I strongly feel like it plays a big role in this issue. For some reason, it even makes me cry. I tried to talk to my mother about it, but her boyfriend was there as well (as usual). He ended up making a whole joke about it, and my mom just did nothing to fix it. I try to bring up issues to my mom about her boyfriend, but she goes straight to defending him and sometimes even yells at me. Which brings me back to the main issue of her constantly making me irritable. There are so many times where I just have this attitude that I cannot control around her.

Okay so making this short.. our parents are out of town and she is 16 and I am 19. She and I got into a huge argument and she tried to kick me on the belly.. Then I chased her, put her over my shoulders and she kept on screaming and kicking.. I went into her room and sat her down across my lap and started spanking her and as the spanking continued, I pulled down her pants, but not her panties. I can easily overpower her considering I am 6'2 250 lbs and she is 5'2 100 lbs.. but the thing is that now she is crying and she won't even talk to me so idk what to do :/

I live with my Grandparents, younger cousin, and mother. The house has a bed bug problem and I am constantly stressed and sleepless because of it. My Mom is addicted to heroin and becoming increasingly self-destructive and manipulative. My little cousin has some serious emotional problems from being separated from her Mom that was arrested, and causes endless trouble. My family, living situation, and the drama they've created is becoming unbearable. I'm leaving for college August 2019. I just have no idea how I'm gonna make it another eight months here. I really, really need a way out of here. I just need some suggestions. I have nobody to stay with.

Should I drive 17 hours to see my family for Christmas? (I only get a week off of work) should I spend 4 out of the 7 days I get off driving? I want to see them, but I don't really want to make the trip, any thoughts and/or options?

I owe the cab driver $80, for a round trip to staff orientation on the 8th of this month. I make $8.50 an hour. I started on the middle of a pay period. They took taxes.. and a Deduction of $48 for slip resistant crew shoes. All told, I have only $85 to my pay card account. Here's the deal. My sister blew her wad on christmas. And now I need to buy groceries to last us to the 26th. Should I pay this cab driver his $80 straight away and have only $5 left ? Or should I tell him, when I get it, you'll get it... And then pay him on the 26th when I have more money.. AFTER helping my sister with groceries ? :P

I was in my room working on a project with my headphones on and my music was playing really loud and I guess I was in a good mood so I sang along (which is something I RARELY do. Im pretty shy when it comes to my singing). and i didn't realize my mom had walked in my room and she heard me.. i know none you know probably care but idk i need some comfort

I'm afraid if I tell them, they'll want some of the money. And if I start buying expensive things, will they ask how I can afford it? Idk what to do!

She had previously accused her husband, we assume falsely, of cheating on her.

My brother has been bad lately. I really love him though and it is not Christmas without him. My Mom is crying constantly. She doesn't want to have Christmas this year but my Dad is making her. My brother was taken last Saturday by an escort for teens being bad to a school called Discovery Ranch for teens who are being bad. He will be there for a year or so. I love Christmas. I am younger, 13, and have never asked a question on here before. Christmas is going to be bad. My Mom is going to cry all day. She gets depressed easily and to make stuff worse her Dad died in August so it is the first year since he died. My Mom keeps saying "Christmas will be horrible this year". I feel so bad. We will have Christmas Eve with my grandparents on my Dad's side and see my grandmother and aunts and all Christmas night. However, my Dad says I need to be here Christmas Day. My school counselor suggested and even emailed my parents that it might help to have a relative come get me Christmas Day but my Dad says that will make things worse. He did say I can leave at 2 or 3:00 PM with my grandmother. I am so sad now. Christmas is going to be awful this year. How do I handle a really bad Christmas and all the disappointment I will feel. How do I enjoy Christmas break from school even though the 25th will be such a bad memory?

Would I be better off dead? I'm 19, female, I live in the South West of England. I have no friends, single, I feel ugly somedays and pretty other days, I do wish I looked like other girls though, especially my cousin who is stunning and gets compliments all the time. It's just typical that I was born poor, no one will hire me, I have no GCSEs. I'm in a Military preparation college, I talk to people but never see or speak to them outside of college. None of the guys like me there (think I'm attractive) or at least they do but none of them actually try or have tried getting with me. I'm just sick of life in general, no money, no social life, nothing. Most of my family I don't even get on with or talk to anyway, I'm not close to my siblings, I have no one. 0 people made an effort for my birthday apart from my Nan, nan & grandad, brother and parents.

I'm 17 (I know quite young) and he's 20. And I'm not as close as I am to his family as he is to mine. He sleeps at mine every single day, and is basically with me 24/7, and we hardly sleep at his because I've got family issues to deal with at home and it's hard to leave my family sometimes... it's only been 4 months but I'm just scared because I'm not really connecting to his family and I just want to know if this is a normal thing or not. Oh and don't get me wrong, his family absolutely love me, they treat me like their own but I still feel uncomfortable around them.

So there is this girl at school who I made a fake imposter insta off and made it raally realistic, copied all of her posts, and used bots for followers and following, the accounts been up for months and I forgot about it but she recently found it and reported it to the school office today. I'm really scared and stressed bc I haven't used that account in months and now I'm scared I could be suspended or something even though this has nothing to do with school...

Useless product in the can. I spoke with a gentleman who was having the same problem with his Grandson, what the guy had to end up doing is buying the cheapest stuff he could buy. Once the kid tried to Huff it though, it gave him such a horrible headache that he stopped huffing the stuff. Has anyone had this experience? Should I worry these products coming from China might actually kill him? I don't want to kill the kid, I just want him to stop huffing my supplies. If I whip the kid he calls Child Services, the fact that I am not his Biological Father plays heavy in his hands on that one. I moved in with his Mother and he, so kicking him out would mean a serious conflict that I would rather avoid. Thank You!

So I'm a 22 year old guy, and my older brother's wife just gave birth to their baby daughter..her name is Dayla. Anyways I want to be the best uncle I can be to my brother's daughter, I'm new to all this lol. What are ways of being a good morning uncle to my baby niece?

My mother REFUSE'S to let me go anywhere without her, yet I am responsible and alway's have my phone with me incase of an emergency. How do I convince her????

I have a step dad who is very toxic but also provide for us. He bully us, (me and my siblings) I mean he makes mean jokes and acts immature whenever we confront him and belittles our mom and won't let her do anything like going out with her friends without him criticizing her. And we can't stand up to him because he will treat us worse. Or he threaten us that he will leave without paying the rent. We don't know what to do in our situation. My mother is too unelegable to work but I am saving my money to go to college. My college is a medical workfeild and the classes are a training course for medical billing and coding. It last for 6 months. If I get a job soon after I was about to build a tiny house with two main floor bedroom and a two loft bedrooms. I was thinking is it a good idea to invite my mother and two siblings to move in with me so they won't have to deal with my mean, immature step dad. My point is is my plan a good idea? Or not? Or what to do in my living situation?

Hes been on drugs since he was about 15 he got put in a rehab unit for a year and stopped all the drugs about 9 years ago.. When he came out he started drinking loads of beer and became a full time alcoholic, he was only an alcoholic up until 2015 when he started getting addicted to valium, I didn't speak to him for a year while my life fell apart & called him a week ago and he's now doing cocaine, speed, valium, drinking, and probs more and needs a hit of something literally every 20 mins... I got told that he ran out of money and started asking people on the street for it too but the thing is once he's taken a hit of whatever he's perfectly fine but it starts to fall apart after the 20 mins.. he keeps saying I should go see him but I can't physically go there because of the way things are.... does anyone have any ideas?

He's even joined JRTOC in his high school. I have talked to him. He said he wants to be in infantry like his dad was.
