I am going to be 18 in july. I do not live with my parents ( mom kicked me out ) i live with my grandparents. My grandma's son ( My uncle ) is handicap, and cannot care for him self. He is unable to open his blinds, shower, feed himself etc... He is in his 30's, and as sad as it is at some point my grandparents will pass. Maybe not anytime soon but its still going to happen. I am the oldest and i shower him and feed him ( often not all the time ), and care for him already. Since i am turning 18, i have decided i am not going to continue my education, and i am going to stay home and care for not only my uncle but my two cousins that my grndma has custody over. ( AGES 12, 8) i feel selfish for asking for help. I should care for my family without a doubt in my mind. But in all honestly I AM TERRIFIED. i am not even 18 yet but i know that i am not going to be able to have a life. My life will consist of struggling to pay bills and caring for not only my family but myself. I feel like i can do so much better. It is too much for me at this age i cant imagine it as i get older. I dont date, or have friends and i dont plan on going to senior year of high school. I am depressed and at a loss. Now that you know my situation here is my question: What do i do so that i can live my life and not have to worry about these things? I know i CANT put my uncle in a home where they can care for him...if that is even an option? I think that is selflsh of me. Any suggestions on what i can do?

My wife went to California to help take care of her sick sister who has cancer and there was a lot of drama while she was there. She ended up getting assaulted by her sister's daughter. She was punched and slapped because the daughter has anger issues. I didn't want her going in the first place. I could sense there would be some drama. I told her IF she ever goes there again me and our sons will be coming along. Anyways, there was some drama with her sister that has cancer also. My wife and her sister are best friends and they talk constantly. I feel as though she puts her sister over everybody else. She puts her sister over me, our son's, and our daughter. Even my 19 year old son said that she puts her sister over everybody. And her sister constantly shops at wholefoods spending $200 at a time acting like she's rich or something. She has a couple of books out, and she's a psychologist but she's not rich. My wife was like " Well I call my sister a lot because every time I try to talk to you you walk in a different room." That is not true, I talk to her a lot, of course sometimes I am tired. My wife said I have a jealousy streak. She said " you are jealous of your daughter's boyfriend as well. That's why you always get mad when she cooks for him." I'm not jealous of HIM either, I just don't understand why his grandmother or someone else doesn't cook.

Don't know a whole lot about it so maybe someone who knows more can tell me, just curious, if I have brown hair and "white" skin and I have kids with a girl with brown hair and "brown" skin what will my kids look like? Will they be brown or white?

seriously, he wears them all the time! like when we go out, he wears a pair of really slutty short shorts, and he also wears tube socks with stupid stuff like kangaroos or mickey mouse on them. i've asked him to stop, but he doesn't listen. what should i do?

My dad was very abusive. He held me against a wall by my neck once, he beat the heck out of my bother and sister, I also seen him lay hands on my mother and he killled a few of our animals while in a bi polar rage. My mom kicked him out and he then started saying we weren't his kids anymore. Now, I am 25, he has done so much drugs and alcohol he is now homeless (has been for a few years) I drive past him and have to pretend I don't know him, while he holds a sign. To be honest I am kind of scared of him still. My bothers and sisters are all disgusting and embarrassing of him. I have to half brothers (diff moms) who want nothing to do with me just because I am his daughter and they look down on me because of that but I am not a bad person like him. I don't know what should I do about my dad and brothers

Let's say the cousins walked past each other without realizing it, thus the lack of recognition and emotional attachment. Or the cousin receives the sympathy card and wonders who the person is on the return address. Is a relative too naive?

my dad is like :how dare you even talk to me .you should respect me my bro is like:dont mess with me or i will beat the **** out of you my mom is like :do you love me? it seems you dont like me i am super polite and good . they didnt say these only my mom says that . i want to know why are they like this. i dont provoke or disrespect them. also tell me why my 130 kg mom refuses to take action to lose weight.she told me she is ok with this weight. she only sleeps and seats in chair whole day whole house work and stuff is on my shoulder. i am 19 year old my dad is 65 year old .why shouldnt i have a younger dad .

Yesterday, I had to help my mom bring the groceries in. The enitre time she was snappy and picky about everything, telling me to shut the door each time I came in and out the house, fussing at me when I asked her if she wanted me to keep water in the car (which we usually do), ect. I kept my cool through it all, even though her tone and attitude was frustrating me. She told me about the things I needed to help her with and I didn't mind until she told me "You need to clean up for S." S is my step grandma and she has always been mean to me. Even though I wasn't feeling it, I still didn't complain. Just asked, "What store are you going to afterward," hoping I didn't have to shop with them too. My mom got annoyed, was rude and I started crying and explaining my side. I aksed my mom to try to understand, to meet me halfway (she says she's the mother she doesn't have to meet me anywhere). When I asked her to help me out, she blew up on me asking what else I want from her, she's broke because of me, and I can't even help her bring the groceries in. Now she will barely talk to me, told me she doesn't need crap from me, dont help her with anything ever, ect. She's sending me to my dad's, won't let me take a shower here this morning, and if I ask her a question she'll say "don't ask me anything." I just feel like she's being petty over something that really isn't that big of deal beacuse I really didn't do much but put the groceries away. Thoughts and advice?

My family just moved from China to America, and my parents started fighting. My dad is in his Sixtys and i just turned thirteen. My dad and I are the only ones in the family who can speak English. Because my dad is old, so my mom has to do everything in the family such as renting house, making contracts....... and all that stuff, and all the mean while, she can't speak English. So she is getting tired of it. And whenever my mom warns my dad about something he needs to be careful of when they are renting houses, my dad says: stop talking about that ****!"And my mom will start to yell at him and saying that she wants a divorce. I'm kind of on my mom's side because my dad usually doesn't know what he is doing. But if they get a divorce my mom is moving back to China, and I have to stay here with my dad, which I will hate for that to happen because to be honest I don't really like my dad and I am going to miss my mom so much. I'm an only child so no siblings are there for me. Also, my parents aren't really the kind who you just talk to them and resolve this conflict together. So if someone finished reading this, Can you please help me? Or just be there for me.

I was on vacation with my brothers and my aunt and my grandma. And I brought up to my brother that my hair would look cute if it was black. My grandma and my aunt butted into the conversation, saying that it would look ugly and it would make me ugly. So when I said "well, i've already dyed my hair before" my aunt said "that was probably ugly too" at this point i was big mad so I just said "actually it was beautiful" and left to go back into the hotel. I was so over it so I told my brothers and they said I should do it cause it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It started off as just saying it would look cute, but now i really want to do it because I just want to make them mad, and I know it will look good with my skin tone so I want them to be mad that it looks good. Every single time they see me they'd have to look at it and notice it and can't do anything about it. It's super petty but idk it sounds like it would be so funny and it would just make me happy to finally put my disrespect aunt in her place. Any thoughts? Do you think I should do it?

His dad and him embarrassed me in front of his family. I m really hurt and angry but you can t undo or fix what was done. Just telling him how I feel won t help. They got the reaction they wanted. An apology would just be phony. Another prank wouldn't help. They will just try to get even with me. And I can't top this anyways. I don't believe in giving men the silent treatment. It doesn't bother them and they enjoy the silence.

What type of relationship am I to the niece of my uncle's wife? My uncle who is married to a woman, she have a niece? Is this 2nd cousin or 3rd cousin?

So, I'm 17, and my family's super dysfunctional and lately I've been caught in the middle of it. When there's arguments I try to calm everyone down and let them rant to me. But it's exhausting. They always come to me and can't seem to talk to each other like grown adults. I'm the youngest in my family, and I hate having to be the adult, besides my mom. We're a family of five, all living in one small house and it's been terrible. I've been having a lot of issues of my own, and I can't go to anyone when they already have their own problems. It's mentally draining.. How do I get them to communicate more, or at least stop depending on me to rant or yell?

Its different from a foot fetish because after the socks are gone I could care less. It has been going on for a while. I have had a few times where I have been able to smell socks before but it's very quick.-My dad wears black dress socks a lot and when I was younger and slept in the living room on the ground he would put his foot on my chest as a joke. -My brother is 29 now and he came home for Christmas and he likes to wear crazy looking crew socks from Neon Eaters. Me and him were sitting on the couch and he layed he feet on my lap. I push them away and him being an older brother put his feet back on. I told him I don't want your smelly socks on me (but in my head I did). Then he said okay. He put one foot around my head and pulled my head closer to him with his toes and put his other foot on my face. I loved it but it didn't last for long because I couldn't look liked it. -My 20 year old cousin also likes to fight. He wears no show socks. But I don't have to fake lose to lose to him and when he puts his feet in your face he will really do it. I was wrestling one time and he grabbed my arms and put me to the ground and put his foot on me while still holding me. I said I can smell your feet from here. He said here let me help you and took his shoes off and put his feet on my face and chest as. He said stay there or I will punch you. Sometimes he lays on the couch and lays his feet on me. I try to smell them then but usually people are there also. Please help

My family ignores me. They are nice to me sometimes then they go back to ignoring me and being mean to me. My mom puts me in dangerous situations on purpose. She says it's because I'm an adult now. I'm tired of this. I don't know what to do. I can't get a job or move out. I feel trapped. I feel like suicide is the only way out.

I'm her only kid, a son. She knows my girlfriend

I've been babysitting this kid who's 11 (I'm 16) and he always hits me in the nuts just because. He doesn't hit me that hard but still it's annoying. I told him I'd tell his parents if he kept doing it but he said he'd make something up and get me in trouble if I did. Other than that he's not a bad kid and I like babysitting him (and I get paid pretty good). I'll just be sitting on the couch and he'll come up and hit me in the nuts and say "nut tap!" I want to come up with a way to get him to stop but not have to tell his parents (it's also kinda embarrassing) What should I do?

Two years ago when they had one I had my depressed feelings flare up but really didn't want to have them. The more I fought them the worse it got but I can't have fun when depressed. So how do I avoid these feelings at the reunion next weekend? I'm scared about it. I was so disappointed two years ago. Also can I be in a low mood and still enjoy it? Last time I can ask, wish me luck.

My mom is always on my sister's side when something goes on, my mom lets her do everything she wants, she cares about her more, my sister gets all the attention than I do, my sister gets to pick her own friends and my mom wants to pick and choose what friends I should have, she gets to have a house and I'm here living with my mom who treats me unfairly. I guess I don't deserve to be loved.

He is 26 im 16. He calls me this so much. I dont get mad or anything, he calls me that in a affectionate way i think haha. I just wanna know you people opinions about why he calls me "Litle man".

I have been playing games ever since the start of the year. They are relaxing. I have been uncautious and let my little brother take the console over to my mom's house and thought it would be no big deal. Ever since I have not seen it again. I got upset and asked why he would bring it over there and the next thing I know there's a policeman at my door and he tries to ask me why I'm having issues at home and I say my parent's don't like me and he says well if they don't like you why don't they kick you out and it's exactly what they did. Sure I came back inside but why do they got to keep it away from me still. It's really no big deal but it's hate

Her final grades for 9th grade came out. She failed her final exam in biology and ended up with a D. She ended up with a C in Algebra 1. Her only A was in health education. None of her teacher held after school tutoring hours so she couldn't get the help she needed. Is there any way for her to improve?

My parents divorced when I was 11. I'm 14 now and the reason for their divorce was because my mom cheated on my dad for some dyke she met at some restaurant. My mom always kept repeating that she was unhappy and she still loves me and all that nonsense. The divorce was ugly and bad and now because of that stupid whore, I barely see my dad. I have anger issues and I guess you could call me depressed since I'm always angry everytime I have to wake up to see my mom's fiancé. I really do hate that woman. She irritates me, she thinks she can tell me what to do, she and my mom love referring to each other as "soulmates" which also pisses me off. This is the dyke who ended my family and left me and my little brother with no family at all. Instead my mom makes the stupid decision to marry her and begin a new one. My mom is even pregnant again thru a sperm donation and her stupid girlfriend is all happy and excited and sh!t. I have a therapist and I tell him how I feel, but he says there nothing I can do. Like honestly, why the hell am I forced to live with this LGBT whore anyways!? Why in ANYWAY should I give 2 sh!ts for my mom's new marriage. If they do get married I will not show up at all because I'll just ruin it. I barely get to see my dad since he lives far away. Like is there ANYTHING I can do? I really don't like this bullsh!t situation at all!

My eldest son is 6 and we have never been close. My 2 year old and 9 month old and i are. But him and i just arent. Hes the type of kid i always didnt want. Hes soft and cries about everything. Hes afraid of everything and always has been. Hes a big spoiled cry baby. I would never tell him this, and i try to bond with him but hes just nothing like me or my other kids. I love him. But i dont like him. Im not sure what to do about it. I dont want him to feel unloved or unwanted but i cant stand spending time with him. I try but we just dont get along.
