Hello. So I bought Five Nights and Freddy's and the second one on my iPhone without my parent's permission. I had the giftcards to pay for it, so they didn't pay for them. My parents are way overprotective and control a lot of my life and it has gotten to the point that they're physically injuring me. Anyways, my dad took my phone for an update without my knowing and now I'm freaking out. I "hid" the apps just incase, but what if my dad finds out? I know it was a stupid thing to do, but how can I answer any questions if he confronts me and keep him calm (not furious, no punishment, etc.).

So my mom and dad got divorced when I was 4 and I lived with my mom ever since. Im 16. He still has custody. My dad is in California and Im in uruguay (moves here 3 yrs ago) and now I want to move back because I want a better future for myself, Im not happy in uruguay...dont get me wrong I dont want to leave my mom, I just know this isnt the place for me. If I say I wanna move with my dad can I? Am I old enough to make the desicion or do I 100% need my moms permision? If she says no do they go to court? My mom would win, Please help me, I really want to move.

I've been with my girlfriend for a little over a year and we are living together. But her little sister is a spawn of Satan. She hits me, steals my stuff, screams at me, and she has even pulled a knife on me a few times. I don't want to hit her or anything because I don't want to piss my girlfriend off but sometimes I could really punch the little demon in her face. What should I do about this?

my boyfriends 21 year old daughter does not like me, she a few months ago expressed how she felt towards me "I don t want to be your friend and I don t care to speak to you"yelling this while her father stood there watching. I was hurt but also beyond upset that she disrespected me and I said nothing just to avoid the fight from getting worst.This was back in January,I have only seen her once since then and never received a proper sorry, her father always goes out to meet up with her. Is there not something wrong here? he wants to plan a vacation with us all and I am not sure I how I feel about that, what should I do?

I am 23 years old with a beautiful one year old son. I graduated from high school in 2010, said I would start college soon and never did. Since having my son, I realized that I need to start college to further mine and my sons lives, to actually have a career. To not have to worry about money, a roof over our head, etc. Currently, I am not working, I just got into my community college's CNA1 program, and I will also be doing a CNA2 program this September. I am so excited and proud that I am finally starting something! My son and I currently live with my mom. I have never been out on my own yet, and I am 23. I am a little self conscious about that. However my mom is moving into her new house in September and does not have room for my son and I there. Most likely my boyfriend which is my son's father, we will all move in together which is really great! Mainly I am just worried for the long run about becoming a RN. That is what I want to do with my life. I love hospitals, and I want to be a labor and delivery nurse, or a pediatric nurse, etc. But I am worried about money for rent, school, childcare, diapers, food, etc. I am worried I will not be smart enough. And my boyfriend and I want to have another baby in the next year or so, we want our children spaced about 1-2 years apart, and I am just always worrying about things that have not even happened. This is probably the dumbest questions ever. But can someone as a young mom that became a RN, just give me some advice. Thank you

I live with my boyfriend and his parents. I have a collection of journals about my life and feelings i kept since two years ago. When i was a sleep they read one of my entries from two years ago when we thought my boyfriends ex was pregnant with his baby. It turned out not to be his. They hate me now because i wrote about how i wanted the baby to die if it was my boyfriends because i wanted to be the one to make him a father. They had no right to read my diary and i wish i could get them charged with something since it was an invasion of privacy! what can i do about this and do you think they have a right to be upset? My boyfriend said he feels sad and creeped out but is letting it go since it was just my feelings from two years ago. His parents are still being a pain when they made the first wrong move by reading it! What should i do or tell them ? Do they even deserve an explanation from me?

So my parents are really Christian and I'm their oldest child (16). I've been dating a boy for about seven months even though my parents think that being gay is wrong. Obviously it's pretty serious and we have been sexually active without my parents knowing about any of this of course. I've done a good job of hiding it, they go to sleep really early so I'm able to get out of my window and back in when I want to see my boyfriend. They also let me keep a lock on my phone so I can message him about anything without them seeing. my aunt and uncle came in this weekend which I was not aware of and last night I went out to see my boyfriend and apparently, they came to my room for some reason and saw that I wasn't there and started going through my room and found ladies' underwear. I came home this morning in time for church, but they already knew I wasn't there, and started talking about the underwear and they didn't know where it came from and when I came home they started yelling at me in front of my aunts, uncles, grandmother, and my three younger siblings because they thought I was having sex with a girl. I got angry and I told them everything; having a boyfriend, dating so long, and they pieced it together that the underwear was mine and it started turning physical. My dad was shoving me against the wall and my mother was slapping me, trying to tell me how disgusting it was. They were throwing things at me and I have a ton of bruises now. I don't know what to do?

Im 22 years old. I switched majors so im going to be in college and least until next fall or early spring depending if I take summer classes. However My whole life I felt like my parents were never really there for me. My mom was be she forced activities on me and never really asked me what I wanted to do. My dad never did anything for me he would only punish me if I did something wrong even if it was minor. My mom even admitted to me that they were so focused on my older brother graduated college they forget about me. During this time when I was like a teenager I liked playing video games and watching T.V. Now its almost like habit. The TV was always their for me the TV was my friend in a way. Now it seems like I never really had a real relationship with them. I feel like I get judged for everything I do. I love love love my mom. My Dad is whatever to me. Hes my parent but never really was there. It just find it annoying that I never really had a real relationship. I have felt bad because I felt like my mom needed daughter in house because she was the only women. Now I have to break out of this somewhat lazy attitude because im really comfortable with it. I just want to be a productive member of this society. Sometimes I feel like it would of been better if I was a girl so that way it would of been new and different then having another boy. I feel like it would of been better if I was a girl. At the same time it would of been cool to be born into a family that actually wanted a boy. Because a a child my dad nothing for me. Which is why I grew to love television. If I was a girl at least my mom would have more interest to do stuff with me rather than forcing activities on me

Well today I was face timing my cousin and I picked it up but I didn't show my face so I was holiding it up to the ceiling and talking and my dad said who is an I said its my cousin (he knows who) then he said don't call random ppl and off it now! I don't know why he said that and he knows who she is. She is a really close cousin to me.

okay so over the past few months I have noticed that I'm been more quiet and non talkative and idk why to be honest here okay so my parents are complicated their not married but they "love" each other I live with my mom and she is something else I mean she tells me to do multiple things at once while I have two little siblings to help but no she wants me to do it all my dad does not live with us because him and my mom so yea and when I make mistakes she calls me stupid or either dumb or hurtful things like that that might not seem like a big deal but it is to me and it hurts I just feel as if I don't have a stable life as a teen I'm 13 just so u though I just get frustrated all the time I feel el like I can't talk to no one I trust and I feel like I can't trust anyone and I think I've been depressed over the last few months and I think its because of my mom I don't know what to do please help and please don't leave rude answers I'm not looking for attention I'm looking for advice..

I'm a high school student and I've been in trouble a few times with the law. And I live with my grandparents, I'm not a bad kid it's just the way my parents raised me. I try to get good grades and pay attention in school but it's not workig. I never have the money to go out with my friends and I can't drive yet. I try but nothing ever works! I'm always sad and feel like I have no life. I don't know what to do help!

Im 15 yearsold, and recently Ive been dealing with a family crisis. My father might potentially go to jail because he didnt pay a fine of $720, and my mother has a history for "child abuse" because my sister told lies about her in social services. Could I choose to live with my mother if he does go to jail or will I be sent to a foster home? My mother is extremely sweet and would never even dare to put a finger on me. I also live in Canada in Brunswick if that helps

Okay I've started working 3rds about two months ago. Sometimes when my mom's boyfriend's kids come over (mind you they are 13, and 19 with a baby) so they are little kids. Anyways they're super loud while I am sleeping. Like today, I worked 12 hours (6pm to 6am) last night and 10pm to 6am the night before and I go back in at 6pm to 6am today. Now while I was sleeping they were being super loud, going in and out of the house a milion times, HIS dogs were barking like crazy, i could hear them slamming cupboards, heard the tv going loud as hell, him coughing loud as hell because he smokes weed all day and then all his other kids come over the 19yr olds with their baby and they are loud as sh*t!!! esp with the baby. even during the day around 11am I slammed my door shut as an indicator to shut the f-ck up. I'm so pissed off and I FEEL it's inconsiderate. esp since he doesn't even work.. only my mom and me do lol. he has a "disability" ugh I'm just so mad and I don't know if I should say something or not. They AREN'T*** little kids, sorry. I can't move out.I can't afford it.

My mom hates my cousins and says they're "bad influences" (which they aren't. One is a nursing assistant at eighteen, the other a straight A student, and the other an awesome athlete). I love them, but she can't seem to understand why. I'm not happy where I am right now (I'm not sure why I'm not happy, I'm just not) and I think starting new would be the best way to help me become happy, and the best place to do this would be my grandma and cousins' (who live with our grandma) farm in a small town. But I don't think my Mom would understand that, maybe even get mad at me if I ask her if I can move in with them. Their house is about a three hour drive from my house and I haven't been able to see my cousins for more than three days in about two years, due to my mom. I just want to be happy. Update 1: I'm only fifteen.

Me and my tia were talking about my life with my parents and how shes surprised that I don't care what my parents think of me. she was talking about people sometimes spend their whole life trying to get their drug addict parents to love them and even blame themselves. she said me having aspergers is probably why I don't feel the need to or really care. I can't understand why people do care though? Can someone explain it to me? I don't think it makes any sense.

First- it was a trip to the park, she said her mom got sick and couldn't drop her off, I offered to pick her up but she said that her mom wouldn't let her. First time, I let it off. Second- it was just a girls day out to a pool and just walk around, she said her mom got sick and couldn't drive us. I accepted that, because you can't help being sick. Third- We were just gonna get starbucks down the street, she said that she was gonna go out with her sisters. Okay, so what? She just went out with her sisters. It's a normal family thing. Fourth- It was a vacation. It was a road trip about 4-6 hours away. My dad spent over 600 FRICKEN DOLLARS on their rooms. Freakin' 600. They didn't shoe up because the youngest sister had a nosebleed? Like tf? I was really mad and i told them how much money with spent on them, and they said "OH! BUT YOU CANT BLAME US! SHE HAD A NOSEBLEED WHAT WERE WE SUPPOSE TO DO?!?!" and in my head i said "she's 7, cmon, she can hold a wet towel and ice to her nose!!! I was super super mad. Fifth- It was a trip to the waterpark. But she said "My mom bought us phones! So, no more waterpark. And now... We were suppose to go to the beach, and she made the worst excuse ever, "I'm getting a pet fish" and i was like "OKAY! I GIVE UP ON YOU GUYS!" I don't want to get frustrated and shiz but, seriously, it's like they hate me. UGH IM JUST SO MAD AT THEM! Spending so much money on them, just to keep getting bailed?! Like really?! Also, should they be bailing this often?! She doesn't get that my parents are super mad! They were suppose to go later, and now i ruined their plans! They always do this! They don't understand that they're wasting my time also! We spend hours on the phone talking about this, and this is what i get? Also she said "We're not going anymore" and i said "okay." and she said "aren't you sad?" and i said "Im used to getting bailed on by you guys, it's not a big deal and surprising anymore." and she said "what do you mean we bail on you guys?" and i said "well you guys always cancel on me, so what? It's not rare, it happens all the time! so what?" and she said "yeah, just because we bailed on the trip doesn't mean that it's that hard." and i said "BUT WE SPENT OVER 600$ ON YOU! AND WE WASTED THAT MONEY BECAUSE NO ONE CAME TO THE ROOMS!" And she said "that doesn't matter, she had a nose bleed, she could've died." I honestly didn't think she would die? Why not have us pay half of the bill with 600$ and have her just fine?

I'm 15 years old, (16 in june) and I'm currently living with my mom. She is emotionally abusive and gets high on weed almost every night. She has hit me and thrown things at me and I can't stand it. I hate living with her and she makes me want to commit suicide. I want to live with my dad. Can I get some legal advise from a lawyer on here? I just can't stand it anymore.

Firstly I would like to give information about myself. My family is Pakistani and we all live in the United States. My parents have anger issues, especially my father. I am the 3rd child and 2nd male in a family of 6 kids. I am 18 years old and a highschool student taking 4 AP classes(AP physics, calculus 2, Prob&Stats and Organic Chemistry are very difficult). I wake up every morning at 4am to exercise for an hour and then get ready to go school by bus at 6:30am. school ends at 2:30 am and then I have track practice until 5. 4/7days of the week Ihave to go to the gym for atleast 1 hour. If it's after school, i get home at around 6:00 pm. My parents force religion on me and force me to read the Quran over skype with an instructor for an hour daily. This leads me to starting school work at 7:00pm. I would then work until 12 midnight and then usually sleep for 3-4 hours. Between 7-5 my younger siblings ask me for help with their schoolwork. Only in a perfect world would I get 3-4 hours of sleep. Since I have trouble sleeping, it turns it to be 0-2 hours of sleep. I effectively spend 20-22 hours being awake on most weekdays. About some recent/current events. February 6th, 2015, I weighed 206 lbs. Today, April 12, 2015 I weigh 161 pounds. I have lost 45 pounds through hard work and sheer willpower. I have lost inches around my waist and have some muscular definition on my upperbody. Two weeks ago, I took a college-level exam in my Organic Chemistry class. It was the first one of that difficulty we've ever gotten. I ended up getting a 100% on it, and thus breaking the curve(some people failed). During those two weeks, I wanted to make my parents, especially my mother, proud. I accelerated my weight loss, and studied my *** off for all my rigorous classes. I got the 100% on the hardest class available in my school. My dad was just "okay." and my mother was just "that's nice." not in the English language, but in Urdu. The tone of their voices suggested they didn't care. I feel like my parents have rarely been proud of me. They are always proud of my older brother, their first son. Since I was little, as young as 10 years, my father would call me literally, in English, a "lazy bastard." My parents are the type who aren't afraid to show their authority and will beat their children, especially me. However several years, they have stopped beating everyone younger than me. I am the last child they beat, and still occasionally hit. I have a younger brother who is 15 years old currently. My father considers him to still be a kid. When I was just 10 years old, I would be told I was a "man" and not be a "lazy bastard." I have suffered bruises from both my parents, especially my father. This isn't to say my older sister and brother haven't either. When my mother was away in Pakistan, my older sister and I were in charge of the younger kids. My father would come home late, and my older brother is out of the house and goes to college. When my mother was away in Pakistan, my older sister and I were in charge of the younger kids. My father would come home late, and my older brother is out of the house and goes to college. ronics to be turned off. He said if I had to forcibly remove my younger brother from his computer, I was allowed too. My younger brother(15), was playing a video game on his computer. He would not listen to words and the recorded phone message, so I pressed the power button on his computer. I was immediately punched in the eye only to see what appeared to be a crack of blue lightning. I had a sensation flooding my head and felt like I was about to go to sleep. My brother went and locked himself and the bathroom and my sister set me on the sofa and put a bag of ice over my eye. 30 minutes later, my father came home and and asked what the "HELL" happened. He got my younger brother out of the bathroom. As expected, I was scolded and told not to "bother" him again. Honestly, then what the hell am I to do? Today we have to go to a wedding of my father's friend's son. I have much schoolwork that is due all in that week. I am already sacrificing time by typing up my situation. On Thurs(Apr 9) I went to a track meet and came back home at 8pm. On Saturday(yesterday Apr 11th) I went to the biggest track meet of the year which was from 8AM to 6PM. After I was done competing I had to collect javelins and discuses for 4 hours. After running my events, chasing the thrown instruments, my feet became sore, cut up, blistered, which are infected with Athlete's foot as well! I had pretty close encounters with both the discuses and javelins, especially javelins. The wind made the javelins fly across the sector unpredictably. Basically I need help with my family, and possibly a way to get out of going to this wedding. I am too busy and if I go, I will get back home at 1 am. I will have no time to do schoolwork until I get back and if I sacrifice all my sleep. I NEED sleep in order to recover my body, worn muscles, and to be able to retain information learned throughout the day. I NEED energy… to improve my physical and mental health. Whether or not it may seem like it, my life is extremely difficult. No one needs to tell my that there are children suffering in Africa which are starving and on the constant brink of life and death. I do not need anyone to tell me that or even exaggerated to me. I KNOW. I know I live in a 1st world country and I am grateful for the opportunities I do have, despite being part of a "poor" family(my father is the only one who works and he is a truck driver). I am intellectually gifted and am sure my gift will be able to open up many privileges in the future. I don't want to say that I am an ungrateful child, or am I? But my current and past life have been difficult. My childhood was enjoyable yet horrific at the same time. It isn't a lie when I say I am sometimes afraid of my parents. I do have social anxiety, and I am somewhat awkward at times in front of people. I do have friends in school, and they all love to have me around, but they don't know about my life at home. I have contemplated suicide, calling the police, or telling people at school, but I don't want to bring attention to my situation. Sometimes though, I feel like I cannot take it. Today I have decided to post the question.

My family absolutely love and never had any problems with her ever. Right now she's been living here for almost a year. She's been getting stalked and harassed by some guy who she turned down because she's in a relationship with me. We don't know if he knows where we live but he found all our Facebook accounts through my girlfriends. He's been threatening all of us but mostly her saying he's gonna come rape her, kill her, and do all these sick things i can't repeat on here..We block him but he always finds ways to contact her. He knows the general area we live in. My gf is terrified. She doesn't know this but one day when she was at a friends house my parents told me that she has to leave because of this. They think her staying here is putting all of us in danger and making us a target as well. I am very disappointed... They have always treated her like like their own daughter and told her she's part of the family. But now that things are inconvenient they are getting ready to kick her to the curb! It kills me inside because my gf is so sweet and innocent! She told me that she was touched that they were still helping her with all this happening... My girlfriends family live across the country and she has no where to go if they kick her out.. She spent a lot of money to come out her to be with us.. She has never lived on her own before. I know i need to consider my family but i can't let my be thrown out with no protection... how can make them understand?

I'm a 18 year old girl. I'm staying at my older brother's place for a few months till I save enough money for my own place. My brother is 27 and runs his own business. He's always been focused on his career and on nothing else. I barely saw him while growing up. Also, he's a virgin and has never been in a relationship. He's insecure about it as well. The other day, I just poked fun at him for still being a virgin. It just a joke but he took it very seriously. He asked me "who's house are living in right now?". I nervously replied "yours". Then he's like "Remember that before you insult me next time. Otherwise you can pack up your stuff and get out". I was a little scared. I wasn't trying to hurt him and he's already threatening to kick me out even though I do all the house chores and am generally respectful of his space! Isn't that a bit of an overreaction?

okay so i am in this tutoring program where i basically teach underprivileged middle school kids math and for one of my tutees, its get so stressful and uncomfortable tutoring him when his dad is sitting right next to us and staring at me while i tutor. he is also always complaining to me about the way I'm tutoring... but, the thing is I'm just a 14 yo tutoring for the good heart of it. and i don't get paid nor am i a professional tutor so it gets really frustrating when his dad is constantly nagging me during every session about this. i could be playing soccer or basketball with my friends, but no instead I'm trying to tutor his kid....

I'm having a lot of trouble at home trying to deal with my two sisters. My older sister is a jerk who constantly calls me fat and tells me how stupid and unimportant I am. She ruins holidays for me. On Christmas, she ruined the only present I received and got into a fight with my dad. One time, we got into a fight and she grabbed a knife from the kitchen and tried to hurt me. When I told my mom, she wouldn't help me. She doesn't understand how mean she is. I don't know where to get help for my sister and I. Please help me find a solution.

Ok so my birthday last year my brother had all stars for baseball same deal aging coming up in a month they forgot all about it and I didn't get one present cause we had to stay the night in a hotel for a week. I did not get one thing not even a happy birthday wish from them so now I asked to down the night at a friends minutes later my brother asked and they said he could same exact friend then today my dad is taking them out to a special lunch and is leaving me home I am already depressed and have truest to kill myself what should I do about this

Does anyone help financially support elderly parents? Im so stressed over this. Perhaps just some advice. Nothing rude. My parents have nothing for retirement. Live pay check to paycheck. My mother works long hours but low wages. My step father hasnt worked in years. He is pending disability case so lets hope but wont count on it. Even if he did get it it wont be much I am a newlywed. We want to start a family. But what will happento my parents after retirement? How can i financially support them and my own kids? It doesnt seem possible. How will they live? I feel so guilty. I feel so guilty if my husband and i go on a trip knowing they cant afford anything BUT at the same time i was the one working 50 hrs a week while taking 18 credits in college, i deserve this! Even now taking all overtime. My husband and i are only middle income, we have a great living and save very very much for our own future and our futurd kids. I want to give my kids thd best and save for our own retirement. How can we do it all? I feel so bad for my parents but i dont want to dupport them. I feel like a B*tch..

My grandmother has an attention issue.She wants attention all the time. She lies to my parents about money,even when she is caught red-handed. It seems that she does it to support my aunts,who ask her for money and then my grandma acts to my dad. My aunt is another eccentric person. Even though my parents know she is lying,they do whatever she asks. So now she has a hip replacement surgery, after she had a fracture,and after it's completion, she acts like she cant talk or think. It's kind of irritating, but I'm also considering that it is true. The problem is that the hospital bill is already 2 lakh rupees, which is 3000 $, and my parents are short of money now since they had to pay our rent, which is 30,000$. My doubt is whether she is lying, because she doesn't want to leave the hospital, as she likes the attention. My parents don't complain though. Now she says that she cant see and that she has difficulty in speaking. Now I don't see how a surgery can cause that. I love her and all and vice versa.Here in India, it is a common sight that the children don't care for their parents. But my parents take care of her every wish,even if she is lying. My grandma doesn't know it's value, as she constantly takes money from my dad (for her other children), and makes fights with everyone, esp. my mother. We see a new maid very year since she irritates every maid till they curse her and leave. Now I don't know what to say on the hospital incident.Is she lying? I want your opinions :)

So Apparently im failing 3 classes and its my current quarter grade and my dad found out and told me he wants to ship me out of state last night. School just isnt my thing and I want to be an artist! Ive been hiding in my room all morning and I plan on doing that for the rest of the day. I dont want to talk to my parents and Also my 18th birthday is tomorrow... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I really want to stay in my room and not celebrate

Okay so this may sound like i'm a big baby, but it's really beginning to become a problem for me. I'm 15 and my mom yells at me a lot for really stupid reasons (Sometimes I have nothing to do with the subject she's yelling about) and when i tell her to stop yelling she yells even more. I've given up on arguing so i have to just keep my mouth shut or she'll hit me or yell even more. Lately she's been yelling a lot and i just feel degraded and depressed afterwards and i honestly hate how the feeling lingers for days. I just want a way to make the yelling and depression stop. Please help...

For example, I have this friend whose father isn't really in his life. He's been raised by his mom and grandma basically. I don't really think he really knows his dad that well. He lives far away and doesn't really seem to care that much about his kids. He said the closest he ever got to his father was a facebook game request. Which sounds really sad. He has one little brother who's 3 years younger and like 12, who he's not very nice to him. But I think thats pretty normal sibling behavior. Do you think people like this are more likely to be good parents someday because they don't want they're kids to grow up like they did?

I have no place exept my room. And my parents rarely leave the house. What should i do?

So long story short i have been with the same man for three years now,and his brother who is old enough to be my father and has three kids with his wife of 16 years tried feeling me up AT his wife's birthday party...I will admit we were all drunk and it was like three in the morning. Thing is when we moved close to his family two years ago my husband had not spoken or seen his brother in seven years because his brother was caught having sex with my husbands ex when they were still together.. I just found out that my husbands ex was actually his brothers wife's cousin! Horrible right? Anyways we moved here because they wanted to reconcile. We now have not seen or been to my husbands brother's house since. My husband told me he talked to his brother and his brother blamed it on being drunk but my husband will not forgive him since it happened before.My husband will not tell anyone why he's not talking to his brother but his other brother was asking what happened and told my husband that their brother said he doesn't know why my husband won't talk to him. We were recently at a party where my sister in law that I have not seen since was at,and things were really awkward.. My other sister in law told me that she (the one whose husband did this)was asking why we go over to her house and don't to theirs anymore..so now I know she has no idea what happened with her husband and i and thinks we just don't like them. I'm going to tell her what happened but, I need some advice on how!

I'm in my first semester of College and my dad unexpectedly died a month ago at the age of 56. A lot of people tell me to be strong, and I am trying really hard. I still cry a lot over the lose of my dad and the memories of us. I live about two thousand miles away from home. I have noticed a lot of changes that are going on with me since losing him. I don't really like to talk to people as much as I used to. I also don't socialize in groups anymore. I usually spend most nights in my room doing homework and watching Netflix. I do not really know how to deal with what I am feeling. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am pretty much open for anything advice at this point. Thanks!

I am married and have a sister-in-law that will graduate this year from high school. They are planning on giving away around 300 invites. My mother-in-law will be making almost all of the food for the party. I decided to make cupcakes, buy a cake and help my MIL since she wont have much help. I will set up a display for her cupcakes and cake for her. I will spend around $100 for this. My husband decided to help and buy soda for them. I am NOT against helping them out since this is his only sibling. Anyways we will spend around $160. My question is that he wants to give her $100 in her grad card. I am not ok with this since we are helping a lot already. Am I wrong? Should he just give her that money? I was thinking more like $50 since we are helping out with other stuff. My sister will graduate next year and he says we will help also, but her party will be a lot smaller and wont have to spend as much to help my mom. I stay home and my husband is the one that works. We dont have very much money, and are considered low income. Sorry for the book but i need advice. Thank you and please dont be rude.

He could care less. The father of the baby ,my other son, is sorry he asked him to be godfather. What should I say, do? I don't want to see their almost nil relationship destroyed over this. What are the actual responsibilities of a godfather? I mean, he sent no card on Easter, gave him no Easter bunny. You can pick up a card and a stuffed animal in the dollar store for a few bucks. Meanwhile, he spends money on pot and tattoos.

I'm currently 13 but my 14th birthday is in December which is when I want them, but my mom keeps saying no, I mean I get good grades (high 80's and 90's) , and I do my chores and keep my room clean but she keeps saying no, and how I can get them when I'm 18. My dad's friend owns a tattoo shop and our families we go camping together and me and my sister's hang out and are good friends with his kids and my dad was his best man at his wedding, so he would do them for free. So the whole "i'll pay for them myself" thing won't work. Can someone help me convince her to let me get them, thanks!

I'm tired of her babbling on about Christianity and what people must do. She always has a problem with what other people do and always in other people's business. I've told her many of times I'm not religious, but she insists I must be. I told her that people rarely go to church these days or even pay attention to the bible. She thinks that God's gonna bring her a husband and the things she needs, but my sister tells her alot that if you want something you gotta go out and get it. And she just can't seem to let go of the past. She talks about it almost everyday. I'm tired of hearing about all this stuff. I know that you can't stop people from talking about things, but I'm sick of it. What to do?

I am 13 years old and am in year 8. I currently live with my mum stepdad and half sister in Devon. My mum and dad split up when I was 5 and my dad has started asking me to live with him. Here's the problem: I really want to live with my dad because life here in Devon is terrible the only good thing is my school because of my friends. My dad lives in Birmingham and his fiancée is lovely and I love her so much and they're always saying I'm welcome. The only thing that keeps me here is my 1 year old sister which because of the distance I would only see once a month and my boyfriend who I've been with for nearly 2 years. ( my friends have already said they will support me no matter what and that they will see me when I come to see my mum) I am also worried about new schools. And I'm not sure how to tell my mum who I don't have a very good realationship with honestly. I really don't know what to do anymore please please help me. P.S if I moved I would visit the first weekend of every month and half the holidays

So my mom and her boyfriend have been together 10 years and I've never had a problem except that he likes to be in charge all the time, which doesn't go well with me because I'm very independent. I've noticed that the past month or two he's been really touchy. Hugging me all the time and smacking my butt. It's like he's always around and I'm freaking out. I can't say anything to my mom because she'll tell me I'm exaggerating and I can't say anything to him because he does what he wants. I can't fight back because he's 6'2 and almost 300 pounds and I'm 5'4 and 130 pounds. What can I do? Should I be worried? How can I try to avoid him when we live in the same house?

She's in her mid 40s. She got big time into cross fit a few years ago, she even does competitions. So, she's ripped and looks great, we all get it. Now she walks around the house nude all the time in front of the whole family. She says it's just comfortable, but I think she's showing off.

I want my parents to stop smoking but I'm too afraid to tell them because we'll fight. I have a 2 year old brother and I'm afraid he'll start smoking or get sick if they don't stop.

So I just began talking to my father again after about 5 years and he has been flying up from Florida for about 6 months to see us. Next weekend I am supposed to go to his house to see him. The problem is I don't want to meet his new wife and his wife's kids. He has already bought plane tickets so I feel bad asking to not go how do I get out of this i really don't want to go

I have a relative that have been living with me for a few months now and has two children...the reason is he is struggling financially!whenever I agreed to have him stay here with his children we agreed upon certain issues... Since he has been here he has not fullfield any of his obligations aka pay me for any rent,help out with any utilities....he uses my dish soap,etc..but mainly his children are dirty...they leave clothes everywhere,seldom do there dishes or even take baths... If I.tell them to leave they will live in there car...and I've discussed the issues above with him, what should I do?

so like I have a big project due like in 2 days and I need materials to complete it. The thing is my mom doesn't want to buy them for me because she says im not worthy of them and that I'm going to end up failing either way, so without them I fail the whole semester just cause she's being stubborn . Like is that illegal or something ? She's like ruining my education whEn I'm trying to get my GPA up. Then she threatens me to not take me to school? Like ummmm???? Help

I'm a 14 year old girl, and my parents are really getting on my nerves lately. I'm orthodox Christian, so I celebrate Easter today. You have a choice of going to church and standing there all night and praying. My mom said our whole family has to go, and I was prepared to go but later I got nausea. Whenever I get nausea, I WILL vomit, and I have a fear of vomit. We didn't have any medicine so I just tried drinking water. Then it was 12 at night, and my parents were getting ready to go and I told my mom I don't feel good because I felt like I was going to throw up. MY parents got mad but they didn't say anything, they just left. So I fell asleep and they woke me up at 5:00 AM cause it's tradition to eat early, and I just put my robe on my PJs and came downstairs and my half brothers were there. And I was REALLY tired so I had at angry look on my face. So we ate, and I went back to sleep. This morning my parents come up to me and start yelling at me about how I'm not disciplined enough, and that I don't care about my religion (because I didn't dress up nice), and how they're embarrassed that they didn't raise me the right way, and how when it comes to friends, I'm always with my friends, but when it comes to my parents, I want to leave them cause they're saying I don't need them. I got REALLY pissed off cause none of that is true. My parents expect me to be this whole other person which I'm NOT and I'll probably never be. They want this robot child that obeys them. **PLUS** when I started telling them in a CALM voice that none of that is true ^^ they started yelling at me even more because I was "talking back" and I wasn't! I was explaining!

Okay so my father is someone who I would say is a honorable man to an extent, however not long ago I spoke with him about taking two semester classes in summer school (to get ahead in my credits). I will be a senior next year in High School and basically I will also be holding a job as I take one summer school class in the morning and my job at 3-6 pm. The thing I want to know is why is he thinking that a job is something to be EARNED instead of REQUIRED? Most people with some logic would think that this would be an opportune moment to get some job experience before I head on to the working world (not to say he does not think logically, everyone has their own way of thinking). The reason he said this is because supposedly I made a "deal" with him and I do not quite remember when this "deal" was. Anyways the reason I want to take the summer school classes to get ahead is because one; It gives me more arm space so to speak, to where I can leave room for building my resume for future jobs (I have almost nothing on my resume), and two; I get the work experience (which I can also put on my resume) and the money to pay for anything that I need (whether it be for my extracurricular activities or my other personal reasons). I know I am most likely leaving out some crucial information in this matter so if this is the case I would like you to answer this question and I will do my best to leave the comment under your answer. Thank you and I apologize for the rambling. Thank you Valleycat1. I think that he said something around the lines of, (I can not quote this really) I need to focus on school before I start a job. The thing is he was also drunk when I spoke with him and it is during the summer where I have no school. I know that he would never keep me from getting ahead in school(besides my mother is paying for it because she does not want me spending my money). I think that he does not want me to work because I have two bad grades (two high F's). (cont.) Addition to Valleycat's question: The reason is because I had a field trip to U of A when I had to turn in my ap us history unit packet, which has been marked "Absent" which allows me to turn it in the next time I get to class (tomorrow). The other F is because my algebra 2 teacher recently resigned and grades have been very messed up with everyone in the class sadly. Thank you to all who answered, this problem will still go on with my father. I spoke with him and he basically told me I was "a child and have done nothing to earn what you want" (which angered me because I am almost an adult and he is very ignorant about what I NEED, not what I WANT). When I asked him to put himself in my shoes, he was stumped and had nothing to say other than you "made a deal" and started spewing random stuff that was almost irrelevant to my question. Once again Thank You.

I have a baby with my partner of 3 years and I am currently pregnant with out second, and today there was a serbian easter celebration party, as my partner is 1/4 serbian and his sibling are and their father is 1/2 serbian. My boyfriends sister went with her partner and two small children, yet my boyfriend wouldn't take me and his daughter, and then I got a text from the father saying to leave his son alone as its there family thing to go celebrate, but I am supposed to be family to them. This is not the first time things like this has happened, I was just wondering what would you guys do if you was in my shoes?

So i got punished for lying and my mother took my phone away. However, she has been going through my messages, emails, Facebook, and twitter! I feel violated and uncomfortable. I have nothing to hide but people text me and my mom reads it instantly (and doesn t respond). I am 18. Is this in any way, shape, or form allowed? Yes I understand she is a parent, but when she s going through messages on a day to day basis, I feel like my privacy is violated. Thank you

Alright, I'm 14 years old and I just really need some advice. Right off the bat, you should know that I'm very antisocial, introverted, and prefer to be by myself a lot. This is because I definitely have a few trust issues, and I've depended on myself to make the right choices. Anyway, I've recently noticed that I can't stand my parents anymore, my grandpa is getting older and more cranky, so he tends to complain about everything, which makes it hard to be around him, and my granma, I think it's because she doesn't know how to show proper love. All she does is constantly spoil me and give me things to show love, and I don't want that. I've talked to them about all of my issues I've had with them before, several times actually, but they NEVER even TRY to change. They constantly fight, and drag me into it. Another factor of getting so annoyed seem to be noisee, and I know they can't help that. But I can't stand the shuffling made on the ground when my grandma walks through the kitchen, or the sound of the spoons when clanked together, or forks being scraped on a plate. I keep hurting my parents though, because I get so fed up with their constant bickering it makes me feel the need to hit something or scream even. I'm tired of being in my room, trying to get away from them. When I come out, I don't feel love for them like I used too, and I know it's really wrong. But I don't know what to do, so that's why I'm asking for advice.

My parents are currently in an argument, last night I went to a party to relax and er my mind off things and then today when I sent food to my mum because she just woke up, she suddenly said "no I don't want to eat that, you're just like your dad, you're plastic" how am I suppose to react?

So this morning my sister said she was making cinnamon rolls, I asked her if I could have one. She said ok. I went down when they were ready and she gave me one. I didn't see the icing so I asked her. She said "I threw it away. I don't like it." I was really mad. I told her not to throw it away and she did. She always does this. I told my mom and she got really mad because she bought it especially for her. Why is she so annoying?

Hi, so I am turning 21 this weekend and I am finishing my final year of college so I am very excited... However, I still live with my parents and my dad is the strict one. I asked him if I could celebrate my b-day for the whole day and evening and I stated I would be home around 12:00 AM. Now here is the thing; I have never been out that late, I am usually home around 6 or 7 in the evening. If there is events, (like school events), I am home around 10 o'clock. I told my dad I do not need anything from him for my b-day but a longer curfew... at least for my b-day... that one night! because I don't go out at nights and I really want to have fun for once especially after isolating myself in college to study for exams and at least pass everything... I think I deserve to have fun. but he made it such a big deal.. thinks I am gonna get kidnapped or be in the wrong crowd... I keep proving him wrong.... like i study my *** off but whatever I do it's not enough for him... I know I am still living under his roof and he honestly does not want me to leave when the time comes... but what should I do? He controls everything I do.. he chose the high school I went too... and even my college when I got accepted into university. I put up with his worried/anxiety crap for years... and I thought it would be different when I turned 21 but its the same thing! I told him I am just asking for one night... but every time I try to tell him my feelings he chooses to ignore me and suddenly watch T.V....

Ok so I'm 14 and I guess I've always been a pretty private person. I consider myself to be independent (mom says she loves how indepentdent I am) but for some reason when ever I decide not to share one little thing with her (like when I come home from school and she asks how my day Was and I say good) she flips out and tells me how she doesn't even know me and how it's like a stranger is living in her house. So yeah I just wanted to know how to get this to stop because it's pretty annoying

As a guy, I happen to like wearing panties on account of how comfortable they are. I'm scared my parents might find out and give me hell for it. What should I do? Should I keep lying and not let them find out at all cost?

My 18 year old daughter was raped by her boyfriend my oldest son is away on a business trip he lives with us my daughter doesn't want anybody to know especially my son he's always been protective of her and like the only father figure she ever had. I know my son is gonna freak out I'm helping her deal with it what should I do?

I'm 14 years old, i live in Denmark with my mom and my two siblings. My parents are divorced. I'm not really happy in my family, i feel like i always get blamed for everything. Everything is my fault. I have a older sister, who does so well in school, she is so smart and she is litterally perfect. My younger brother is just living life. He dosen't worry about anything, he always get what he wants. Yes, and then there is me. The middle child. I'm always forgotten and left behind. My mom expects me to be perfect. She's always like "why arent you like your sister?" "Be like your sister" bla bla. And i hate hearing that. And my mom is really strict to me. My sister can go out with boys, have boyfriends etc. When i can't. I can only have guy friends from my class. I can't always wear shorts or dresses in the summer. But my sister can? I'm always left behind. I'm always the one, they don't trust. I'm always the one who gets blamed for everything. Sometimes i feel like escaping, sometimes i just wanna leave. But then, where do i go? And yeah you can say that i'm jealous of my siblings and how my mom loves them. What can i do? Please help.
