im the baby brother with all older sisters. Since i was little i would beg with them to play with me and they would all try to as much as possible. Usually we all had a time together usually right before bed. My sisters favorite game to play was tickle monster. I was so little and my oldest sister who was the nicest to me loved to tickle. She would always hold me in her lap and would tickle me. She would always scare me first by saying "tickle tickle tickle" My other two sisters would tickle my feet which is my worst spot. They would tease me by saying cootchy cootchy coo. I remember laughing so hard and they loved it and were so happy tickling me. i always have so much fun but i wonder why big sosters do that? should i be embarrassed? do they think anything of me? do u think they make fun of mr for laughing?

my daughter is 26 and doesn't know how to drive. me and her boyfriend split the driving whenever she needs to go somewhere. she has a hair appointment for 8 am and I told her i can take her because i might be off work early enough to take her. She was like " oh no it's fine i already asked my boyfriend and he said he would take me." I was like " it's crazy to have him drive all the way to our house when i'm already going to be here and can take you." the boyfriend lives about 30 minutes from our house. She was like " you can pick me up, but he already said he can take me and will be."

My moms always drank, but it's gotten pretty bad after my parents divorced. I came to her house a couple times to find her drunk on the floor pissing herself, and I had to help her up on her bed. That's dangerous because when she gets like that she cabt take care of her dog. If I hadn't decided to visit that day than her dog would go hungry. I had a long talk with her, and made her see what alchohol does to her, and that it just makes her problems worse. She seemed pretty set on quiting, but shes still drinking. It's not an every day thing. Maybe once or twice a week, and shes not usually black out drunk like what I explained earlier, but it's still a pain in the butt to be around her when shes drinking. Well, yesterday made me really mad. She went to her friends house to visit. She often ends up drinking when she visits this particular friend. I told her if she drinks than call me to come get her. See said she wadnt even going to drink. Anyway, a few hours later she comes home. Shes not hammered, but it was obvious she had been drinking, because she was slurring her words. I said, so you drove like that huh? She said I'm fine to drive! I just shut my mouth, and walked inside. Who knows how many other times shes driven like that. My brother gets on her *** about her drinking a lot more than I do. I'm always very sympathetic, and supportive with her, but when she decides to drive under the influence, and put people in harms way? That is were I draw the line.

I love my step dad, he s a great man, but i can t help but to feel left out. Before he had my sisters I was so important to him, we used to talk all the time, and he used take me everywhere. I feel jealous of my sisters because i feel replaced that my mom started this new life and i m just the step kid or his wife s kid. I always feel left out because i never got to experience those things with my dad as he does with my sisters. to make things worse we were at the mall and i was standing far away cause i felt alone and left out, and he said it s because she s not a (Insert last name). I was really angry and i flipped him off. i felt so bad and my mom wants me to apologize but i don t know how. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I DON T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I CAN T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE BUT I M ONLY 13!!!!

So many people think it's disgusting that I live with my parents, I'm 26. I cook, clean, go to work, do the laundry etc. everything I would do if I was living in my own house. I live in Melbourne, Australia where it's ridiculously expensive to buy a house in a safe area. I'm single too (by choice). My plan is to save up as much money as I can so that when I find a boyfriend, I can buy a house with him.

I'm 23 years old and my mom recently found out I'm not a Virgin. I thought she would be more open minded about it but she took it way too hard. She expected me to be a Virgin until marriage and all now she only talks to me to call me a whore and tell me how disappointed she is. How do I make understand that sex is normal nowadays? I don't think I did anything bad, it's not like I killed anyone. Any advice is appreciated.

My wife of 14 years and I fight all the time at holidays cause she wants to see her family and I refuse to permit it if it falls during my Mom's time. So my wife's family has to rearrange their schedule and do things like Christmas the day before or the weekend after so I can be at my Mom's with all my family. I am horrified to displease her. When she is displeased I am a nervous wreck. I cannot live with the guilt. How do I get over this terror of displeasing my mother? My wife and I fought last night cause her father has a farm and is having something for Easter and I said "sure if my Mom is okay with it and if we can bring her". My mother said she won't go and Easter won't be the same without us. Thus, my wife had to cancel on her father and we are going there Saturday and then Sunday at my mother's. I have 3 siblings and they fear displeasing our mother also. The roll of her eyes puts me into fight or flight mode but I would never fight my Mom or flee from her either. So how do I get over this? My wife's father is 88 and had two strokes so I fear if he is dying one Christmas that my wife won't concede to my mother and we could divorce over it,

I am 18 years old, a senior in high school. I still live with my parents but my mom is not letting me be independent or get out of the house to hang out with friends. She controls my social media account and always calls me dumb and stupid because I have a B- in one class. She always hits and slaps me as if I'm 12. She reads my text messages with my friends and found out I cussed there and grounded me for 3 months. I hate living with them. And because she found out I asked a guy to prom, I am officially not going to prom anymore :(

I am an adult but they will see my car where the aunt is staying as my grandparents live several blocks down from my parents. My parents, my Dad in particular, hate this sister of my Mom's cause she is not nice to her siblings and says things with no consideration for how they make people feel. However, I like her even though I acknowledge she is not always kind in her words. Also her son I don't want to become estranged from just cause my parents and uncles hate his Mom. My mother denies that they hate this aunt but in boycotting her I consider them hating her. They use me to get back at her and have a long history of doing this to me when I was a kid living with them and they'd be mad at various relatives. I'm an adult on my own now. The aunt and cousin are coming for Easter Weekend to my grandparents.

My half sister and I are not close, our relationship is very formal and polite. I can't ask her this directly. We're Brazilian and so is her husband. All of us are fair skinned but with black hair and brown eyes (all of our parents, grandparents etc.) I only recently got into contact with my sister after years of not talking, and found out I had a niece, and a nephew who was just born. My first thought when I saw my niece was "she doesn't look like either of them". She has green eyes and light brown curly hair. I later found out through an aunt that her biological father was not my sister's husband. Ok that explains it. However, this new baby looks even LESS like either of them than my niece did. He was born with a head of platinum white-blonde hair and blue eyes, he is now 1 year old and still has it. ...for what it's worth, I have always gotten the impression that she is attracted to people of light features like that. I know that you wouldn't know the definite answer to this any more than I would, but my question is, what do you think has the higher likelihood, that she cheated, or that the baby is indeed her husbands?

They are big shame triggers for me and they have 4 other adult children so it is not like they will be alone. I see them once every other week on average.

Help care for my sick sibling? I know a lot of people have it worse and that no one wants to hear about it, but my family acts like I owe them and it makes it so much harder to not talk about it to other people because other people see how crazy it all is. Not that I need sympathy, I just want my feelings validated. How can I validate my feelings without seeming like I'm complaining?

He had it replaced a few months ago so he thought the entire situation would be behind him for the most part. That is not the case as his new hip has popped out twice in 5 days, even when he's been cleared to go back to work for a month now. So basically he's going to be out for another 3 months, after spending another 9 months and lots and lots of money being home and on medical bills and so forth. I'm trying to get an idea of something I could get for him or something to do to help lift his spirits. He's been feeling depressed the last few days, mostly because of him having to miss work and more paychecks again, and would like to try and change that. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

I just can't anymore, everything's gone to **** in my life. I've been to therapy for the past year for depression and anxiety but every time I think something is going good it all just goes to ****. My parents simply don't understand that screaming at me doesn't help me go any faster and it does in fact cause me to shut down. My mother finds anything I enjoy or like and then uses it against me until she can't anymore. She also heavily guilt trips me. But don't misunderstand me, she is usually a good person and cares for me but I'm honestly scared of her and my father. My parents have now moved onto the new thing I love, lacrosse. I can't even count the amount of times they have threatened to pull me out of soccer and lacrosse simply because they are mad at me. And this morning has been the worst in the past month for sure. After 3 weeks of no issues other than the the stuff listed above, today I somehow am sitting Locked in a bathroom being screamed at and threatened by livid parents. Im very scared and I don't know what to do. My father has never hit us but he has a horrible temper and I'm very scared. What do I do please help me.

I am 17 years old, and my sister is 25. She got married in March but lived at home until then. She has a bigger bedroom, an it has a half bath attached (toilet an sink but no shower or tub). She got married in March and I thought I would take over her room, but she didn't move her stuff out. Her husband has a studio apartment and she had to leave most of her stuff at home. But then on Friday they rented a new place and she's going to empty out her room. Mom already has plans for the room, but I think I should get it. I thought I'd get it hen she went away to college, and then I thought she'd move out when she graduated and I'd get it then. Then I was sure when she got married she'd get it. Now mom wants to turn it into a computer and TV room. My room is big enough for that. Mom is also kind of ... I don't know ... weird about her moving out. Like she's really sad about it. I'm going to graduate and go to school out of town, but yeah I'd still like the room.

Been with my wife for 8 years and my 9 YO stepdaughter was fine when she was young but as she's getting older her behaviour is getting unbearable! She still acts like a needy 4 year old that needs to be around her mummy all the time, she has no independence, she never wants to go play with her toys, in fact she'd rather sit and watch day time tv with her mum out of fear of missing out on something! We ask her to go and play with her toys and she sulks because she wants to sit and watch day time tv with her mum?! We take her to the park and all she wants to do is sit next to her mum?! She hides round corners and the hallway upstairs and listens in to our conversations! She never decides on anything and needs her mum to tell her 'what she's having / doing' and the kid will do the same! We asked her what she wanted for Christmas last year and she looked at her mum n said 'what do you think I should have - what would you choose' she interrupts our conversation with irrelevant rubbish (half the time she doesn't really have anything to say! She just wants to interrupt us!) She will hide her face and ears if we are talking about something that doesn't involve her. She tried to spy on us if we leave the room to talk about something, she answers questions that I have asked her mum and not her, every time I touch my wife she feels like she has to touch her mum too just because I did! list go's on!! This can't b normal?! My wife admits it's not normal but does nothing to stop it!!

Today I decided to eat cereal, I decided to mix frosted flakes, fruity pebbles, and Cap N crunch together in the same bowl, it was disgusting so I decided to throw it away, that's why my mom is mad at me, for 2 reasons actually. She's mad at me because I wasted cereal and because I poured my cereal in the actual trash can with the milk and now the trash can is all sticky and the bag was leaking, so she decided to yell at me and decided to tell me not to eat cereal. I decided to never eat those 3 cereals again because she decided to tell me that.

me even though I'm not doing anything wrong, take the p*ss out of me too. They are vile bullies. I have 1 sister and 1 brother

I m a 17-year old (almost 18) and I have 3 brothers. One of them, who is 16 doesn t respect me at all. He calls me a b**ch, h*e, he even says "oh, I wish you moved away from here forever" Ok, so on Friday, he threw my tablet and it hit the wall (getting a few more scratches from last time he broke the screen) and I got p*ssed. I got him in the back (ofc, I m weak. I can t even beat my 13 year old cousin) but all he does is give me ONE punch in my upper stomach (near the lungs, in the middle). I felt like all my breath has been taking away and I even gagged. He said "What a drama queen, I didn t even hit you hard. You re faking it" My brother practes boxing and fighting with his bad influence friends who do drugs at school. Not the first time he hits me tho. My mom just tells him to not do it anymore but he doesn t give a sh*t about we say. I feel traumatized whenever I see my brother. I think back to the scenes where he has hit me and get stressed. When I get stressed, i get short on breath and start having suicidal thoughts but am too afraid to hurt myself.

My brother -in-law doesn't really seem to get along with my girlfriend, and she is pretty quite around him, and doesn't talk much. My other 3 friends who are some of my best friend really seem to like her, and told me I need to focus on her, and not mess up this relationship. Yesterday one of my good childhood friends, his wife, and my girlfriend all told me my brother in law is just using me, and my girlfriend said she doesn't like the way he treats him. She sees a lot of red flags, and she seems them because she use to be in a controlling relationship. My friends all seem to really like this girl, and I like her a lot too. But my brother in law in always saying things about her too that shes is winny, and calls me to much, but he's married to my sister. What am I suppose to do? My friends also said they don't like being around when he's around

My mom was an abusive alcoholic growing up and now that Im an adult she barely talks to me. She doesnt call me on holidays or my birthday but instead will send me a birthday card that is sometimes a week late. We have only spoken twice this year and each time she didnt delve into asking me anything about my life or trying to keep the conversation going. It was very surface-fake-chat. Her birthday is tomorrow and Ive decided not to say happy birthday to her like I usually do. Im planning on going No Contact, people who have abusive parents know what Im talking about. But I still feel like a total Btch for not talking to her tomorrow. I need some real advice. Please dont say things like "Shes your mother you should call her." Its not the daugher's job to fix what a parent broke. So placing guilt on me like that isnt really helpful, especially considering she doesnt call me on my birthday either. I just want some help with this. Thanks.

She's so cute, and short and soft, I just love her so much. I wouldn't want anyone else to be my mother.

Most of the time, they're okay, but I still see glimpses of 16 year old behaviour in both of my daughters! For instance, they're still at a certain phase where they can be selfish. The petty relationship drama exists, and is very real too. I've had one or both of them crying in the room because of a boyfriend or ex.

im writing this on yahoo cause i am sad and angry. my parents are divorced, so i visit both sides and i live with my mom. everytime i come back from hanging with my dad and my stepmom, my mom brings up every bad thing that makes me feel bad about myself. she always called me a traitor, because she thinks i love my dad side more. she thinks i dislike her. SHE ALWAYS BRINGS UP WITH THE SAME TOPIC EVERYTIME I COME BACK FROM MY DADS. LIKE OVER 10 TIMES. then again, she always thinks i fucING HATE HER. HOW DOES SHE DAMN KNOW THAT? SHE CANT THINK WHAT SHE THINKS . why would i hate her? i love her fOR GOD DAMN SAKE. SHE ALWAYS THINKS I HATE HER IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A TOTAL SHI T. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AHES TALK ABOUT THIS. i really need to ask my step dad about this, hes the only person who understands. this is bull shi t. ive never ever even thought about hating her, she cares for me and i care for her. Why would she think i hate her. this is total bull****

Its like living with a blind brick wall...whos selfish

Ever since I was a child my parents have had major fallouts. But now that I'm grown (merely only 16 years old), it's almost like this built up turmoil over these years that has created a deep wound within my life. And every time they argue, their words become more profane and more senseless. Today my dad broke my brothers PS4 (with good reasoning). My mom got upset with my dad cuz she payed for it. Now all that I'm about to tell you isn't my parents years ago. It's this built up evil that they've come to accept. My mom got upset started smarting off to my dad and my dad said "**** your self" "shut up *****" and all of these words. And he kept repeating it, while my mother was unfazed which isn't how she used to be either. Then my dad was like "We need to get those divorce papers finalized already." And my mom said "Like you'd ever sign them." And my dad said "I don't want your fat ***" and then he kept repeating that as she kept asking him, "What?". Then my mom said, "Well that dick be wanting this fat ***.". Then my dad said, "I only use you for a quick fix." I was shocked. I ran in there and told them how dare they say that crap in front of their children. And then they started going off at me. Telling me I was just a kid tryna be an adult and I need to mind my business. Which took another piece from that wound I have. I packed my things and drove to my grand parents house. God I can't tell you how many times this month this kind of stuff happens. No peace at all in my life. Someone please tell me how to push through and remain positive and not become like my parents. How do I stand being around such a hateful relationship?

I am married and raising a family. My husband works and I work from home four out of every five days. My sister, who is going to school, lived with me several months last year. I found out he told relatives (when they asked her about me) that for the last two years I have been "naked, barefoot, and pregnant" I feel betrayed. Since she is my only sister I trusted her, but she revealed intimate details of our daily life to people I hardly see.

I told my sister that I am quicky overcoming my issues in life... I have two jobs, a full-time job, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week at whole foods for $15 an hour.. And a 5 hour job at Midas. Because I'm sick of not having, and I don't care about a disability check anymore. What I have here, by far tops my dad's best day.. And back in the 60s and 70s... He was among the people wearing tie-dye.. and then those who wore the cardigan with the collared shirt and tie. I'm the only one in this whole family besides Mae and a few of my aunt's, who ever topped my dad. And that's an achievement, for many reasons. Asperger's syndrome...now whatever it is. Generation Y. Philadelphia. Suing the school and winning. Discrimination. The Bush economic disaster when I was 18. The Neo Nazi Trump right now. And I'm still beating some baby boomers in my family. And I'm doing it, with two, not very terrific jobs, that I'm doing well in. So if you want to find out what it's like to live on disability... Go quit your job... And I'll give you my disability check for the next 9 months that I still get it. She said... Well, I'm just glad that you get along with your managers.. Because you'll need to. And I said.. And somehow magically you don't ? Lol

So I was at his house visiting him and his wife, and we were all talking on the couch and his wife asked me if I thought she was pretty, and I said yes and she suddenly SCREAMED at me saying "YOUR LYING IM WEARING AN UGLY OUTFIT YOU DONT MEAN THAT" and i was shocked and didnt answer and she kept screaming at me calling me insults and my son whispered "she has some problems but you really should have been nicer" and i started crying saying i didnt do anything and his wife came up to me and HIT me HARD across the face and kicked me and my son screamed get out and kicked me out

He is 13 years old and the only child, and his father went AWOL before he was born. Therefore, she's raising him all by herself, which I think drives her to drink, as she feels deprived of companionship and stresses over the lack of help raising her son. This is especially a burden on her since he may have a learning disability. So when she gets home from work, her job's not over, because of helping him with his homework. Sometimes it's gotten to the point where she'll yell at him during the homework, particularly math, as she'll get edgy when he can't grasp an equation or something. Basically my sister is a ticking time bomb with him. In her defense, she has a GREAT job and is in her son's life 24-7. So she's NOT the cliche alcoholic, deadbeat, negligent parent in TV and movies. But sometimes I feel that her constant yelling is what made him such a disrespectful child toward her. My sister spoils him, and can definitely afford to do so, since she makes good money. And as a result, my nephew is the black sheep of the family, as I am the only one who knows that she drinks a lot and makes him cry with her yelling at the top of her lungs to the point of her neighbors hearing her. Of course, since everyone in the family is none the wiser, my nephew is perceived as a spoiled brat who doesn't appreciate his mother, including to his friends at school. Is that fair to him?

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not being physically abused but I'm 16 and things are getting worse. I live with my mom and my dad, and my dad is extremely verbally abusive to me and I can't do anything about it and neither can my mom. I can't live with him any more but I can't leave either. I don't go to college for two more years, and all of my family and siblings are out of state. Plus, I don't want to leave my mom because I love her so much and we have a fantastic relationship. She can't divorce him and I don't know what to do.

so my dad and mom found out i had sex. I'm 16 . So I was visiting my mom for spring break and I saw that my ex boyfriends mom found condoms in his personal bag. I was freaking out and crying That she would tell my dad so I needed to vent and I told my mom . ( that was stupid because me and my mom have a rlly bipolar relationship ) . And my mom was crying and said she wouldn't tell my dad and if she did i would never have to talk to her. My mom told my dad turns out and my dad made me confess it to him. He started crying and saying how That hurts him because I'm so young and i did it in his house and he can't trust me anymore. He told me after I graduate he wants me out and he doesn't care if i talk to him or don't talk to him anymore. He completely grounded me til I'm 18 and now he took away my house keys and i need to go to my grandparents everyday. My mom and him are tag teaming against me ( it's weird bc before this happened they always argued and never talked )and she's saying how I'm disgusting and it made her even more depressed that i did that, and how she can barley go to work or get ready and she's about to get fired because of me.

So I went out with my friends last night then we decided to sleep out I was so tired I forgot to text my parents and tell them I'm sleeping out I'm 18 btw I came back home early morning I hear my dad calling me names and how he wants to kick me out (even tho I know he would not do it) I'm really sad I fully forgive my dad for what he said but I don't think I can forget this I just feel bad about myself my own dad calling me names just because I staid out for one night.
