so i have this game called the sims 4 and i want to buy a game pack for it (its basically additional stuff) and i have saved up for it, i have enough money to buy it but the only problem is that my dad would have to download it and pay for it with his card. Now I now what youre thinking why is he paying? Well i only have 20 in cash and we need to buy it though the laptop. And i have been asking for this game for like a year now.Yesterday he said he would think about it and I got really excited because I actually though he would buy it you know. But today he said that he thought about it and said no. But you dont know the whole story, so today my dad asked my to go running with him because "i don't do anything and lay in my bed and youre getting fat" but today I also got my period and I have cramps so I told him and he left me alone and at first I didnt think anything of it. But after he called me for lunch and we ate, I cleaned up after everyone. I asked him if he though about it and if I can get the game. and he said no because you're just gonna lay in your bed even more and do less. and i have screen time so there is no way for me to use my laptop longer. So in my opinion that is a very weak reason. and also i think it's because today I refused to go running because of my period cramps. and im not a bad kid, i get good grades, and help out sometimes, but to him its not enough because im fat and "don't excersice" please help :(

The fathers go to jail for committing crimes. Their sons live too fast and die young, usually in a violent fashion. And then the grandsons turn out messed up because they do not have their fathers. Is this a curse?

i have 5 brothers and i live with my dad  I feel like my dad doesn't care about me like he says he does . i know some people would want to be able to go out and do all this stuff don't get me wrong i do like going out getting tats smoking but sometimes it just hits me like if my dad did love me he would wouldn't let me go out and have boyfriend spend the night . my brothers are more strict on me than my own father . My dads sisters and brothers always talk **** about me when my dad invited them over . And it hurts 😒 my dad a gangster as they say everyone calls him that and he acts like he has no feelings it's kind of sad  Everyone talks bad about me because i wear make up  dye my hair a lot and i have tattoos but i don't know why they can't just worry about themselves it gets me sad and i hardly have friends in person that i actually know i just have social media friends but it's not the same 😕

10, one to screw it in, 9 to evaluate the room and have a discussion on whether or not their observations match a lit room

i have a son he just turned 17 . his name is xavier . His dad went to jail when he was 15 and he's been acting out ever since. i always felt bad because his dad was his best friend they would always go together and i feel like he's just been empty and it breaks my heart as a mother to see my baby like that. i get him everything he wants he has brand new clothes a new phone . I don't feel bad about buying him stuff because he's a good child well behaved but recently he's been going out late not coming home until about 4am he's started doing drugs and drinking  it hurts to see my son to be doing all that i tried to talk to him about other things he can do he asked if i can buy him a skate board so i did and he's been doing that When his dad calls i try to get him to talk to him but xavier always just talks to him for a minuet and gives me the phone. my nephew tells me that xavier tells him he's depressed and turns to drugs and alcohol to numb himself .

Wouldn't it be better if they dated other women?

Years ago my grandmother and step grandfather became chosen grandparents to our cousins child. Now my older sister had a baby and the parents of the other child do not want my grandmother and step grandfather watching her at all. Like under any circumstances. Their own great grandchild. It doesn't help that the parents and child live next door to them as well. What do you think

I had to order a lamp and rug for my mom from amazon and she is staring at me while laughing saying I bet you didn't know this was the lamp and she keeps staring at me like she thinks I'm dumb . I knew what was in the box but I know she would say she doesn't believe me and keep laughing and she is the type to follow you everywhere and laugh at you and I just wish she would die so I wouldn't have to go on and on about this if she was dead I wouldn't have even had to order it. My mom is not willing to learn how to order things online herself.

I'm a 15 year-old Asian American girl. Although I know she tries not to be too harsh, my mom does freak out at me sometimes. She has told me to my face, in front of my family, that no one likes me,  that I have a disgusting personality, and that she signed me up for therapy(which I did for 7 months and didn't at all enjoy). She has said these things on multiple occasions, even seconds before dropping me off at school one time. This was mainly happening when I was 14. I can admit that I was a teenager with attitude, which is why she said these things to me. I cannot fully explain every detail leading up to this. We have always had a bit of tension. Anyway, a year later, I still remember every word she said and I still think about it every night. Because of this, I don't think I've ever treated my mom the same after she said those things to me. Every day, especially during quarantine, tension has been building up with little fights and arguments. I know these things wouldn't be happening if those hurtful words never left her mouth. I don't want our relationship to be this way, however I just don't think I can think of her like I used to. Part of what contributes to this is her favoritism toward her husband, my sister, and even my step-siblings. We've never really had a meaningful and honest conversation, which is why I don't want/know how to tell her how I feel. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you. (If you have any questions, please let me know.)

My parents want to move but is there a good way I can suggest a certain place?

He told me he hated my mom and that she could go to **** herself just because he's very abusive towards me and my parents talked to him. His grandma told my mom that his grandpa used to hit her and abuse her. So my mom told him that she doesn't want him to later on become just like his grampa. To what he took it as disrespect towards his family. So he was pissed this morning with me and told me he hated her and and that she could go **** her self. That hurts me tons!!!!!! I can't believe it, I don't think he will respect me if he can't respect my mother. I think he needs help...

Other than working 9am to 5pm during weekdays, they leave their baby son to us while they go out eating or going out of town to have a short vacation (he does not say this to us sometimes unless they are exposed on social media). Problem is, my mom does all house work and takes care of my old father while I have back injury and also takes care of my father. My mom and I get less time for ourselves in terms of work and personal matters. The only problem is that my brother tends to be violent when we discuss this as he doesn't like to be reprimanded. Like, he blows up in anger when we tell him we need time to do something for ourselves.

Do you think the standard parenting schedule should be mother has primary custody and the father has every other weekend? Or should it be closer to 50-50 custody. 

My sister in law and her kids lived with me during the pandemic. She has a toddler who would cry from day to night. I was not working so I would be home all day, recently I told my husband I needed time because the crying was too much for me and I felt like I was going crazy. I suggested we speak with his sister and ask her if for the rest of the lockdown she can go stay with my mother and father in law. My husband spoke to her I could not because when we were going to talk to her I had a panic attack and had to leave. It was too much I felt horrible because I knew it was going to upset her. He talked to her and she said she understood. I felt horrible about asking her for space and not being able to be myself who explained so I sent her a message on social media. I apologized and explained myself in the message letting her know it was nothing against her or her kid as I am a person with very little patience. She did not reply now I come to find that she deleted me from all social media. What should I do?  No I did not trigger a panicked attack to avoid facing reality. Do you know how panic attacks work?! It was a hard situation because I care what my husbands sister thinks but I also had to say how I felt. 

So my dad is not supportive of my sexual orientation at all. He always starts every visit with "I hate the fact that you're gay but I still love you". This makes it very hard to be around him as I feel like I have to change/censor who I am to spend time with my own father. Several times he has cancelled visits for which I've bought expensive flight tickets- sometimes within hours of when I was supposed to fly - my aunt confided in me that his girlfriend is even more homophobic than he is and that she doesn't want me around. My dad is in his 70s so I want to spend time with him while he is still alive but censoring myself to the point where I can't even talk about who I'm dating is putting a huge toll on me. The reason I censor myself is because he will get VIOLENTLY angry and scream and or yell at me for even mentioning my boyfriend's name. Today he called my boyfriend a racially charged name for which I hung up with my dad and lead me to seeking help here. My dad has a history of making me so miserable in my relationships that I end up breaking things off to spare the other guy from having to deal with it. I love my dad but I don't think I should sacrifice my happiness and hide who I am to make him feel better. I am who I am and nothing will change it. I feel like if he has this much of a problem then he should just cease contact or I should. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone. I just needed reasons not to do it. I don't think I'll ever go through with it, but I do worry that I'll act on impulse one day instead of thinking it through. One benefit of quarantine is that I haven't had time to consider it because I've been spending so much time with the girls and wife.

He sells weed out of his mother's house. Now his mother's house is being sold. So hes renting his sisters old house wayyy out in the country. No health insurance. So now his "clients" are back here. So he wants to use a random car to hide drugs in and park it on the street. I spent a whole day driving him in my car three hours to his friend so he could go fishing. After i got out of work. He yells at me and tells me he doesn't care and hates my job which is in health care. But i had promised him id move in before when things seemed to be good. I pay him $500 a month to help with his rental. He has a camper in the middle of nowhere where he wants to live. It would be ridiculous to try to make any money there. I spent the whole day dragging garbage bags of his stuff to the rental because his mother is dying. Also..he mentioned he wants me to start meeting his "clients" when hes away. I feel like all i do is favors.

Youngest bro started yelling at my mom and oldest bro intervened & yelled at him boo calm down. Younger bro said y should I listen to you, then older bro said because I'm the oldest and that actually set him off even more & made him more angry, was my older bro's approach wrong?

I don't love them bcuz they were always horrible 2 me, they didn't care about me, they won't care wheter I came home or not in my teen days. They always loved my sister but they never show any child feelings 2 me. So, I moved out early from home and started to live in my own, I never call them now. I earned my own life, nd it is gud now.
