Ok so I'm a teen and I'm broke, natta, zilch no money. So I was wondering what I could do for my mom for Mother's Day. I looked up some ideas and I was wanting some opinion of what I'm planning on doing is enough. I'm planning on staying up late the night before, cleaning the kitchen and mopping the tile floors. Cleaning the dining room, cleaning the living room, cleaning the back porch (which is really dirty and smells like dog pee) and making her favorite breakfest waiting for her when she comes down stairs. And I'm going to try and make the whole family decent lunch and dinner. So she doesn't have to. Is this enough or does it not enough and I need to add other stuff. I have no money to buy a gift so I'm just trying to show her how much she means to me on her 1 day of the years. All opinions welcome

I need some urgent advise, basically im a 22 year old female living with an abusive alcoholic father and my mother.

I have my final uni exams tomorrow and i am sat in my room crying i fee sick with worry my mind is blagged and I cant get the image out of my head.

I'm a 13 year old girl who is extremely depressed but i would love to go to a sleepaway camp this summer -- my mom and dad won't let me go because they say someone who is depressed can't go to sleepaway camp. THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I want to tell them i reason why i should be able to go but every time i try to talk rationally i start yelling -- what "smartsy" point can i make to them on why a depressed kid could get many benefits from summer camp and just because you are depressed doesn't mean u can't go enjoy urself at a camp? THANKS! (but seriously this is really urgent)

We're getting serious and I'm only 17 , I want to move out. I have a feeling my mom would say yes but at the same time my dad who lives in another city might disagree so hoe does this work out?

I need help in all burned out on what to do cab someone help

I'm 16, and a girl(it's irrelevant, but you should understand where I'm coming from). I make my own money, and I work hard for it, my parents won't give me money so I have hundreds on my credit card from my job. I want to go shopping and buy stuff from Hot Topic or Etsy, but my mom doesn't like how some of the clothes I picked out have foul language or attitude. They're very set in their Southern ways(anti-gay, sexist, against girls having an attitude or opinion). I'm nothing like them and they won't let me get anything that doesn't resemble a potato sack. My card is linked to theirs, please help?

I'm a 14 year old girl and my parents are basically rich. I live in the UAE and almost every local here is rich so it's not something I brag about. I never talk about my money to people. It was my birthday recently and I got a gold necklace, gold earrings, and a journal. I only asked for the journal, it was their choice to get me the jewellery. I've had 2 nannies ever since I was a baby since my family is big and both my parents work. I treat the nannies as if they are my friends because I genuinely like them and I don't take them for granted. They cook, clean, and look after my little sisters basically. I have to get good grades at school and if I don't then my parents take away my electronics and have a long talk with me. I have a mac air laptop that my dad got from his manager and gave to me and an iphone 5s I got for my last birthday. I have an iPad too but I literally never use it because it's old and I prefer my other stuff. I don't usually get things that I want. Like if I ask for something so simple like just candy my parents will probably say no if they're in a bad mood or make me pay for it. I don't have a lot of money in my opinion. I have only like 2,000, but I've been saving up for years so I'm not sure if that would be considered a lot. I only get nice things on my birthday. I never purposely brag about what I have and I don't wear designer clothes. I'm not really into fashion so I wear really basic clothes. I don't see myself as special. Everyone is equal to me

I moved in with my boyfriend a while ago with the intention of us building a life together. He was behind in his rent a few months so I offered to give him extra towards my portion so that he could catch up. The monthly rent is $775 so I was giving him $675, plus $50 towards the cable bill and I'm paying $90 a month for half of my stuff to be in storage. I had to put it there because he wouldn't let me have the whole 2nd bedroom. He wanted to keep his workout bench in there which he hasn't used since I've known him. He hasn't used it since I've moved in either. Since I've moved in he hasn't wanted to go anywhere or do anything with me. He parties late with his friends and often falls asleep in his car in the garage. I buy majority of the groceries, I cook all of our meals. Whenever I ask him to go some where with me he hesitates like he doesn't want to do it but does it just to keep me quiet. We haven't had sex since I've moved in and he blames it all on me. He won't sit next to me on the couch unless I ask. He doesn't offer to do anything for me. I told him today that I'm not going to continue to give him extra on the rent since he's been so mean to me. I'm only going to contribute my fair share. Am I wrong for doing this? he doesn't communicate. He doesn't tell me about his days off work. When I try to be affectionate towards him he just blows me off as if I've done something to him and I haven't done anything. Some advice please!!!

I been in a domestic violence relationship with my children father for 9 years, everytime he gets home he chokes or punches me until I can't breathe or say i'm sorry. today we got in an argument over the phone about me talking to another parent about her child who has serious asthma. yes its silly but its the way he think, however in any minute now he will come in my house to beat me and I will not have any way to call the police to get him out of here. what should I should, can I call the police ahead of time and have he or she wait for him to come home or what? please help because I refuse to continue living my life like a child, when he can do whatever.

So I just turned 16 and had a great birthday..the best! She gives me freedom and we are tight. My Mom is the coolest mother ever. ( my Dad who left year when I was young different story and is not nice) Well, we had a talk after watching tv and I have been recently getting more friends and boys coming over. She said she doesn't mind at all if boys come over and they can hang out and we can do whatever as long as my bedroom door is open. I said ok mom, not a problem. Then she said if I wanted to have sex with any of them that is ok as long as he is using protection. She said she would check on me if it happens. I was stunned and said ok! But I was also thinking my Mom may peak in and watch me also. Is that a little weird or is it ok?

Me and my friend got in a fight. She told me that the only reason I have friends is because I'm rich. I honestly don't think I am rich. It hurt me so much. I am fairly popular btw. So am I rich??? -my house is a 8000 sq feet single family home. It is 4 floors. It has 7 bathrooms and 9 bedrooms. My house is on the rich side of town but that doesn't really matter. - for cars we have 2 mercedes, 1 Range Rover, a Porsche, and a Ferrari. - every single piece of furniture is from Eethan Allen and we have paintings everywhere. - my family of 5 has 6 computers. 4 are dell business computer, and 2 of them are MacBook pros. - my dad has the iPhone 6+, my mom has the iPhone 6, I have the iPhone 5s, and my sister and brother both have the iPhone 5 - we have 5 flat screen tvs and 1 ancient tv - we have the wii, Xbox 360, Xbox one, wii U, 3ds, 2 Dsi's and one Ds. - I have clothes from abercrombie and Fitch, Lacoste, Michael Kors, Burberry, J crew and a few things from forever 21. My family also gets clothes from those places. - I have a bose speaker/radio - I have a huge Bose speaker for the tv - my family has 3 iPads - we have 3 iPod touches - we have a basketball court in our backyard as well as a soccer net - I go to a private school - twice a week we eat at a restaurant - we have a maid and a lady comes and cleans our house every week - we go on a vacation every school vacation -we have 2 beach houses So am I rich? I really don't think so. Sorry if it sounded like I was bragging.

Ok so I'm 16 and my relationship with my dad is getting worse day by day. I'm a little bit overweight and he keeps telling me that I'm disgusting, that he'a ashamed of me. My marks are good but in one subject they're quite low so he says that I'm stupid, he always calls me stupid and worthless. Recently I've starter smoking a little bit and when he found out he said that he can't wait for me to move out and he also called my friend and told her that our trip to Italy was cancelled because I didn't deserve to go. What should I do?

shes like 18 . .

BEFORE ANYTHING, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE RUDE ABD STUPID ANSWERS! So basically, I want to runaway because I feel like I can't deal with it anymore. My big sister has depression so she's just in her room all the time and my other sister who I was extremely closet with growing up, we were like twins, got a boyfriend, who she thinks she's ready to marry(she's 17!!) and her boyfriend is so rude and mean to me and makes me feel so anxious and uncomfortable and she doesn't believe me when I tell her. My mum just wouldn't care, she thinks she's the world's best mum just by giving me money but she never shows affection and says the meanest things. My dad's in jail for abusing us, his brother has always been like a dad to me but my mum stopped me from communicating with him my blocking his number and making me choose between her and him(uncle live is Italy, I'm from the UK). I'm just so fed up of it all and can't cope. I'm aware running away won't be all glamorous and will put me in bad situations and in danger. I don't ind getting caught after a month or never being seen again, I just need a break from it all. I know my family will eventually notice and will feel upset. I'm planning in going to the cities where threre's homeless shelters and rich old guys who take in young girl hoping for sex(I'm planning on escaping) but still don't have a certain destination. Can anyone please help me? Where I should go? Should I hand myself in when I'm done? My family will deffos call the police.

So my mom divorced my dad and got custody of me around 10 years ago when I was maybe 4 or 5 because he was an alcoholic. He has been sober basically ever since and lives with us (they avoid each other, my dad sleeps on the couch. I guess I just got very lucky to have both parents in the house). Recently, my mom met a guy (let's call him mel) that neither me or my father like, he's very loud and treats my mom like a servant when he comes over. They have been seeing each other more and more over the past couple weeks. Last night, she came and told me he told her he loved her, and she wanted him to move in. She met him a month ago. Now here's the problem. My dad still lives with us and I've been really suspicious of a couple things mel has said and done that my mom is too blind to see: - He has an ex wife that is still coming after him legally although they divorced over 15 years ago - he has a 26 year old daughter has't talked to him since the divorce, it's one hing to have your ex not talking to you, but your OWN DAUGHTER? There's something really strange about that. - He says that he was super rich as a kid (like RICH rich. private jets, big house, butlers, etc), but his parents kicked him out and now has nothing - a couple days ago he was here and he KICKED MY DOG when he wasn't doing anything wrong, which makes me think this was linked to why his wife and daughter may have left him. It's great seeing my mom happy and all, but i'm worried for her safety with this guy. So I couldn't finish the entire question to i'll continue it. ...none of us know his true colors yet. If he does happen to move in, i'm leaving with my dad, because she will obviously kick him out. His mom lives across the country in Boston in a huge empty house and she always says we can stay with her if anything happens.

It's like everytime she speak I get really angry I side. She is actually a very nice person. Basically she left me at my grandmothers when I was a baby because she didn't want to give up her work as she was raised in poverty and she didn't want us to live like that. Because I was a girl, my grandmother neglected me. I don't think my mum knows how to look after children because she came from a family of 10 which was in poverty at the time. I'm sure her mother never had time to look after her which is probanly why she isn't the most caring person in the world. When I was young my mum used to work like 6/7 days a week so I barely saw her. She always worked on weekends so the only day she had off was on a weekday and I would probanly be in school. Because she didn't exactly bring me up herself, I was never very close to her. I started getting really bad.y bullied in primary school but I never told my mum because I was never close to her. I don't think I told anyone. Basically I had no freinds. We then moved houses and I changed schools because my mum got a work somewhere else. In that school I had freinds and I was fine. Then I started high school where literally no one liked me and my freinds tried to avoid me and talked behind my back all the time. I feel like a messed up person. I became paranoid and depressed. I still couldn't tell my mum because she was working all the time. I felt like she wa neglecting me as well. And the. I started hating on her.This really weird thing happened in school. Basically, everytime this certain teacher walked passed me, I stared at him. I don't know why. I didn't even like him. I can swear down that I did not have a crush on him what so ever. Idk why I looked at him. He got paranoid that I had a crush in him and he quit his job. None of the teachers then liked me and kept giving me evils for the rest of my high school life. Thankfully none of the kids found out in school and it was kept confidential. Then I went onto college. I'm sure the teachers from my high school told my teachers at college about this teacher thing. I don't know if I'm just thinking that or if they actually did. The thing is, they never told my parents about it so idk if they would tell teachers at my college about it. Anyways. I feel like a messed up person because I'm literally scared of doing everything. I'm scared of hurting people, I'm scared of just talking to certain people. I'm scared of doing chemistry experiments. I'm scared of looking teachers in the face. I always look away. Do I sound normal?

My mom is being mean lately to me. I had unprotected sex and I asked if she had any more ovulation tests to see if it was possible for me to be pregnant. She didn't have any but she's being horrible to me now. She said "you probably are pregnant", "I was going to buy you a plan b pill but I think you need to live with your choice", "if you are I'm just going to laugh in your face until you cry" also "I'm not having a 15 year old pregnant daughter live with my kids. You will need to move with your boyfriend" She's acting like I want to get pregnant. I don't even think I am pregnant!!! I am only 15 and my boyfriend is 16 so I couldn't just move out!! She always used to say that I can do it when I feel ready but I guess I can see where that went :( I am so angry at her and stressed out now. We used to be very close but now she's being a total c*nt. Is this a normal mom reaction? Will it ever get better? Is there any way I can fix this? Nobody be rude answering!

My mom is under a lot of stress, I understand that. She has a job, she owns a business, and she has a ******** of a boyfriend , but she takes it out on my brother and I. She constantly complains about everything we do. The other day I cleaned up her desk area, just to be nice. When she got home from work she screamed at me for moving her stuff everywhere, even though I organized her papers and everything for her. She always calls me lazy and stupid. She claims I never do anything to help her but almost every meal we eat is made by me, I clean the Litter boxes for our cats, I feed the dogs all the time, and numerous other things. She still claims I'm worthless. She is absolutely insane, I still love her, but she needs to stop. Also, I didn't think I'd say this here but she is cheating on her boyfriend with some dude. I have more morals then her and I told her it was wrong, but she doesn't care. I don't know what to do. Her insanity is driving me insane aswell. By brother can't take it anymore, he is really emotional as it is and he cried all the time. Please help me.

Hi everyone. I feel like No one likes me, I only talk to my biological mother every 3 week because she has depression and some other things. I have been living with a foster family for about 3 years now, I don't have any contact with any family, they are all mad at each other and doesn't talk together. I hate my family. But I feel like no one likes me, like I am born to be alone. I don't have any friends, all my old friends are using drugs now, but I don't know how to make new friends. What can I do? Ps. I talked to my foster parents about it, but they can't help me.

I'm almost 18 and there's this guy I've been talking to for almost 5 years and he's 18 almost 19 and I used to go to school with him but we haven't hung out in person. I really want to. We made plans to meet up and have sex but my mom found out and stopped me. Now she doesn't want me hanging out with him and I can't just drive over to him cause I don't have my license. I really want to have sex with him. I told him I couldn't because my mom found out and he got mad but he got over it. I don't know what to do I can't stop thinking about him. I can't get mad at him no matter what he says to me. I'm aware it would just be about sex and that's what I want so I'm fine with that. He's never had a girlfriend and I don't think he's ever had sex. I've had sex with only 2 guys but it's been 2 years since I've had sex and I'm constantly worried he's having sex with other girls. I want to be his first. I don't know what to do. He's asking me to hang out with him and I can't pass it up this time, I just can't. This is something I really want to do. I'm not on birth control but we would use condoms. How can I convince her to let him pick me up? I can't tell her I'm gonna hang out with a friends that's a girl cause I don't have any friends that are girls. I know I still live at home but I'm almost 18. I'm planning on getting my license soon. What should I do??? I'm stuck!

First of all, me and mom have all the same features. Eyes, eye color, nose , lips, hair. Everything. My sister looks NOTHING like her. She has a different eye color, face shape, nose, lips, everything. She doesn't have any of her features. Anyway, my mom always brags on how much her and my sister look alike, and she tells me I look nothing like her. And she says it in a bad way too. It makes me feel offended. Why does she to this? PS. I'm my moms least favorite child because I am the" black sheep" and have a different father than all her other kids. And also I hate my life for that.

A little back ground first. I was adopted at 9 years old. My birth father had been killed and my birth mother was an alcoholic and couldn't take care of her 5 kids. I haven't had the best relationship with my adoptive mother since I was I middle school. She says that she lost trust in me when I was in the eighth grade. A guy wrote me a letter in class telling me that he wanted to have sex with me. I never confronted the guy about it and hid it in my room. I didn't know what todo about it so I hid it. I knew he and I would not act upon it. I wasn't interested to tell you the truth. Fast forward ten years and I had twins. She has managed to tear me apart emotionally. We don't agree on our parenting styles. I ask her not to smoke in front of my children and she continues too. She says I'm judging her. We have had our ups and downs but my kids really love being around her and my adoptive dad. A couple of weeks ago it was their birthday. My mom waited until the night before at 10 o'clock to tell me that her and my dad weren't coming. They live 7 miles from our house and never make an effort to be involved. They chose to go to my sisters college softball game. Softball is their life. They put it before everything. She said that I ruined her life so many times. I'm not sure how. I have always done what SHE wanted me to do. I wasn't a rebellious teenager. I didn't make the best grades in school and that was important to them. My kids love and miss them. But I don't know what to do

I'm 18 years old and live in TN I only moved here to be with my girlfriend but now we broke as off about 3 weeks ago but I have my own place and car and all. My grandparents live in Florida and they're the ones who raised me so they're more like my parents. They're getting older now and tell me they want me down there and all and they need help with the bills?

His dad is jail and I fall in love with his brother he want to take him as his son the brother has kids as well is this wrong for us

I'm 17.5 years old and 5'10-5'11, can I reach 6ft? My mom is 5'6 and my dad is 5'8. Moms brother is 6'0 and dads brother is 6'2. Moms parents are 5'6 and 5'7. Dads parents are 5'2 and 6'2. Will I be taller by 18-21? I'm a boy by the way.

On Friday, my grandmother (76) fell and was admitted to the hospital. She's been out for about 3 days, but she clearly still is still in pain and having trouble getting around. Her doctor was supposed to have a home help service call her, but it has yet to happened. I'm 21 and currently stay at home with her, but I'm planning on a job soon and so she'll be here alone. My aunt and uncles are not being as proactive as the should and aren't taking the fact that their mom is refusing help seriously. What can I do to help her and her kids see that this is a problem and I won't be able to help forever? I'm overwhelmed already and I need the help as well for peace of mind. Any suggestions?

My Indian Mother in law wants me to give birth a baby boy (I already have 2 girls...9 n 4). My elder co-sister has a son and my younger co-sister gave birth to a son last week so pressure is all the more.... how to tackle this kind of mindset...I was in false impression that she loves my girls...

His mom will be in town only on Mother's Day, so my husband proposed to take my mom to lunch or dinner a day before, but my mom said it's not Mother's Day then. I sided with him but my mom, who was visiting, was very rude and finally my husband said, "Why should I prioritize you, you're not even my mom and you're horrid." My mom swore never to talk to him again and this distresses me so much. Relationship between them is always fragile. My mom didn't like him because he's younger than me by 5 years, his estranged dad is an alcoholic, and one can see he was into self-cutting (because of old scars on his arms). He's been much better now and he IS a good husband to me. My late dad used to be close with him, but my mom never really likes him. I want them to be friends, but my mom is still prejudiced and my husband starts to lose patience. I guess this is it, then. I really don't know what I should do to make things work. I'm pregnant and I'm sure they would fight over the baby. :( Thanks, Alyson. Unfortunately my mom doesn't want to spend time with my MIL, because of 'something from the past' she said. My mom is difficult but after all she's my mom so it's hard on me.

My girlfriend's dad is really into golf. He plays whenever he can find the time. His favorite golf partner is me. That is because he wins every game. He is not very good at golf. What he does not know is that I let him win every game. I do this because he REALLY ENJOYS winning and usually buys me lunch or dinner after the game to celebrate his winning. These meals are far more than I can afford. The few people that know about this tell me it is just not right that I don't play my best and try to beat him. My girlfriend knows I am letting him win and is happy with it because it makes her dad so happy to win. Her dad is happy with it and I am happy with it. It brings him SO MUCH JOY to win. Am I doing something wrong if everyone is happy with the outcome of our golf game?

I think my mom hates me, maybe she's if i wasn't alive she would have been far in life. Since i was a kid she'll blame with everything that happens at home even now I'm a 25 old but things are getting worse she swears at me like early in the morning out of no where like she dreamed of me or something She really hates me shame and that breakers my heart , i really do try to be good but i supposed to her I'll never be good enough, even if u did good she'll be like Ohw you gonna nag us about that the whole day I'm about to finish at college when ever she wants she just yhels at me saying even i get work she doesn't my money , i dont know what to do to keep her happy i know im not perfect but im trying

I don't have a bf, but I think it sounds kind of cute, with him calling you his little girl... Idk, is that weird? Before you bring up dad issues- my biological dad is practically dead to me, and my stepdad that was my father figure (that really was family) recently died. Back to the point: is it weird?

My son is 9 months old. My boyfriend, his father, is un the picture, he just travtravels for work so he is often gone for weeks at a time. This is both of our first child. I have no family or friends for help as I moved to a different state to be with my boyfriend. I am a stay at home mom. Have been since my son turned 6 months old. If I am not holding my son he is screaming. I do all tye house work by myself obviously since it is often just me home. Cleaning, cooking, laundry, dishes, garden, animals (including a chicken farm) rraising my son, exercising the dog (luckily he does very well walking with a stroller) I am the only constant thing in my son'sson's life since his daddy travels. I will admit I held him a lot in the beginning. I assume that is what started him having to be held. If ny boyfriend's family comes to visit and they are holding him he is fune until I walk aeay. Then he starts to scream. When my boyfriend is home and holding our son he is fine until I walk away. I have tried to let him cry it out as I kniw he has to learn that he can not be held all the time. But it has never worked. I tried letting him cry for a bit then going to him until he calms doen then going back to whatever house chore I was doing. But if I so much as turn my back to him he screams. u have tried having him in his walker with me, tried talking to him while going about my work. Nothing has worked. Even tried the Johnny jumper. This is all stuff I try for a while. Not once and done.

2 years ago my mothers boyfriend kissed me completely inappropriately I got up walked out of the room & ended up moving down my fathers for. Year . The day after he rung me all day scared that if tell my mum. Ever since I have been able to be normal with him & never told my mum because I haven't seen her this happy in so long .. She split up with him at one point & I felt so selfish because I felt relieved but after I saw how sad she was without him when they got back I was weirdly okay about it but anytime I'm upset & he hugs me or hugs me in general all I can think about is when he kissed me & I feel sick. I forgave him I mean it's been 2 years and him & my mum are in a better place & he does a lot for her. I'm now getting married this year I'm now 22 but I can't bring myself to put him on top table with my mum - I don't even feel bitter towards him I just don't want him there but can act completely normal around him which is weird. My sister argued with me today satin I'm being totally unfair because I have my dad on top table with his wife who he has been with since I was 3 so I class her as a stepmum & don't want my mums boyfriend in temper I blurted it out & she thinks I should tell my mum anyways because he kissed me at 19 who else has he tried it on with but I don't want to tell her because I feel like it was my fault. At the time it happened I spoke to him a lot because I was arguing with friends and he become a fatherly figure where I could talk to him ..

I have no privacy. My mom always knocks on the door then just walks in without consent from me. I have to keep the door open to my room so they can see the things I'm doing on my computer. Sometimes I end up wandering onto something suggestive at the same time one of my parents walks by, and then I have to explain when I don't want to. And I don't think they would let me get a privacy filter if their life depended on it. I'm also not allowed to have a lock on my for, which I don't get, because my parents have a lock on THEIR door, so I don't understand why I can't have my own. I can't even keep my downloads from them! I download a lot of furry art, but some of it is furry porn, and I don't want my parents seeing it and judging me on it, so I have to keep it hidden. Last night I was caught encrypting my USB flash using BitLocker, which contained the furry artwork I downloaded, but then my mom caught me and yelled for my dad to come downstairs. When my dad came, she told him I was encrypting my USB, and then my dad lectured me about how at work, everything he does on his computer has to be available to his boss, and how they can be liable for me since I'm still a minor. And I'm like, WTF!!! Just because it's that way at work doesn't mean it has to be that way at home! And my dad said if I encrypt ANYTHING, my computer's gone. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! Everything I do my parents have to see no matter what. Why won't they let me have any privacy? I CANNOT TAKE IT ANY LONGER!!! I've told them SO MANY TIMES why I need privacy, but they say I should have nothing to hide. SAYS THE PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE!!! I feel it's not fair. What do I do?

I moved in with my boyfriend a while ago with the intention of us building a life together. He was behind in his rent a few months so I offered to give him extra towards my portion so that he could catch up. The monthly rent is $775 so I was giving him $675, plus $50 towards the cable bill and I'm paying $90 a month for half of my stuff to be in storage. I had to put it there because he wouldn't let me have the whole 2nd bedroom. He wanted to keep his workout bench in there which he hasn't used since I've known him. He hasn't used it since I've moved in either. Since I've moved in he hasn't wanted to go anywhere or do anything with me. He parties late with his friends and often falls asleep in his car in the garage. I buy majority of the groceries, I cook all of our meals. Whenever I ask him to go some where with me he hesitates like he doesn't want to do it but does it just to keep me quiet. We haven't had sex since I've moved in and he blames it all on me. He won't sit next to me on the couch unless I ask. He doesn't offer to do anything for me. I told him today that I'm not going to continue to give him extra on the rent since he's been so mean to me. I'm only going to contribute my fair share. Am I wrong for doing this? he doesn't communicate. He doesn't tell me about his days off work. When I try to be affectionate towards him he just blows me off as if I've done something to him and I haven't done anything. Some advice please!!!

Sunday is mother s day and I already told my fiance we are taking my mother for lunch at 12pm. He spoke to his sisters last night and let them know they need to do mothers day on Saturday but they said they can t because one of them has to work, and they don t want to do dinner on Sunday they also want to do lunch. I m really annoyed because they are being so inconsiderate. We have to celebrate mother s day with my mom also not just his mom. What am I supposed to do? It would just be better if they did dinner so we can go to that after lunch with my mom. Now we dont know what we are doing. I m getting so annoyed with my fiance and his family they can t even be accommadating.

OK I have some problems with my brother. He is very overbearing and confrontational, and he has been that way all of his life. When he is around other people, he puts most of his conversational effort into ridiculing them, telling them what to do, and trying to provoke fights. My family and his friends seem to accept this behavior as part of the deal. A couple of years ago at a family gathering, he was nagging me about how I was raising my family, telling me what I was doing "wrong" etc. I finally couldn't take it any more and said I was going home. At this point he lost his temper, threatened me, swore at me, and punched me in the face. All this was in front of our entire family, kids included. Since then I have nothing to do with him. I no longer bring my kids to family gatherings, and my mother is angry with me as a result. She says I should forgive and forget, he's the only brother I have, etc etc. However my brother has never apologized or asked for forgiveness, because he thinks he was right- he always thinks he is right. I cannot allow my children to ever be around my brother again, but my mother says I am being selfish. I do visit her when my brother is not there, but when I do, she acts like she doesn't want me there. I have tried explaining my position to my mother many times, but I'm afraid our relationship will never be the same. She is well aware of what an a** my brother is, yet she is angry at ME for being tired of his crap. How should I deal with my mother?

My grandma has completely screwd me up. My mom left her to me, my dad left me I'm sod sad all the time, I just wanna be normal. Is it me? Am I bad? Always believed that but I'm always told I have a good heart. I will get on my hands and knees if someone needs help. My husband says you have an amazing heart but I'm screwd up I guess. I'm not normal, or maybe it's the religious but I had for a grandma calling my mom and I a ***** and blaming us for her problems. I'm always told I'm so beautiful by men, but I don't believe it I guess. Talk hot and sexy blond , they tell me. But I don't know what my problem is. I just never feel loved.

Hi- I'm in my second year of high school, and I just need a day off. I just want to stay home, eat, read and chill by myself. How can I fool my mother into thinking I have a fever? I've tricked her before, but she just thinks I felt sick because of my period. How can I make her believe it's a fever? I very much appreciate any answers that might help me have a day off!

I am 18. My mom is 68 and my dad is 81. We have little money. I drive a 27 year old car, live in a shitty house, I just want to be like normal people at my school. Drive a 2014 car and have it all. My life sucks. I guess I was born at the wrong place and time.

But I always to believe next of kin is the eldest child after the husband our parented divorce some years ago . Where do I stand in all this .

You read that. My dead brother cancelled my f*cking graduation celebration, just for his tacky funeral. I mean, I got into UBC.. That s a pretty good university, I mean.. I worked hard for it! FOR 5 BLOODY YEARS. Then my d*ck of a brother decides to suddenly die. Let me explain the situation. He was 7 years younger than me (He d be 11 now) and basically he had Downs Syndrome, making him as smart as a drunk hippo. Pretty darn retarded! And he had leukemia.. Which made him shed most of his hair around the house. It was absolutely gross.. And he had the tendency to vomit, crap, and wet himself. No wonder my room smells like a f**king pigsty. Anyway, before the freak was born, the doctors told my mom that he had severe birth defects. I actually remember my mom crying that day. I told her to get rid of it because it really made her upset. But nooo, she kept the hideous monster. When it was 3, he broke into my Barbie Deluxe Dream House and broke everything.. And drooled on it! That c*nt was better off dead. Life grew horrible with it around. It ruined my prom because I had dark circles and puffy eyes. It suddenly stopped breathing at approximately 2:10 am, causing major havoc. I mean, honestly, just call a f*cking ambulance.. It really isn't that much of a big deal as opposed to a heart attack, and HE RUINED THE MOST MEMORABLE EVENT OF MY LIFE. : I planned this party for years, ever since I was in middle school. I had ordered a tent, performers, and special food. Well not exactly special food. I was pissed about this for weeks. I ordered canapés and normal tasty foods.. BUT THEN MOM CHANGES IT TO CARROT AND VEGETABLE STICKS WITH HUMMOUS AND PITA BREAD. I was livid. I took revenge on my brother by kicking him hard on the leg. It started crying, of course but not real crying. It doesn't cry like a normal person, he hisses and screams while tears run down his face. I GOT ******* GROUNDED AND HIS STUPID ASSOCIATION OF DOWNS SYNDROME FRIENDS (It's an organisation run in my town for the retarded to meet up and get to know eachother). Were then 'invited' to my party. What the hell? You know what I said to him right before he died? I told it that it was worthless, a waste of space in this planet. Another failed experiment to bring life on Earth. No one likes retarded f*ckers. Anyway so, last week was his funeral. I refused to attend, but my parents forced me to. I remember them lowering his body and thinking 'Thank you lord Jesus for taking away a useless life and replacing it with a healthy one somewhere else on this planet'. I never prayed for it at the ceremony.. All I thought was how f*cked up it was that on a nice sunny day.. His funeral was planned and my plans were wrecked. Pissed on. Everyone was making fun of me and I planned the whole thing out with my friends. Now they see me as a nothing, just as I saw my brother. And another thing.. I honestly don't give two sh*ts about your opinions.. Hate on me, I DON'T CARE. But let's face the truth.. No one likes a retard. Oh, and Sean.. A dead monster.. If you're reading this, have a nice time burning in the depths of hell! And this applies to all the haters too :) and all the ones who accuse me of being a troll; there's a photo of him.

My mom usually buys things for us, but my dad likes use his money for himself and buy us something every once in awhile.

I don't know her that well but well enough that I would like to give her a surprise present for mother's day. She lives in another state due to financial reasons. The other part of the situation is that my husband doesn't want much to do with his mom, he loves her, but that's the extent of it. She's made poor choices in life that landed her in poverty and jobless, I want to let her know that she's not alone on mother's day, what should I do?

My dad is always drunk and is verbally abusive to me. I have no where to stay other than with him because my other family lives far away. My mom died when I was 13, and he had a drinking problem when he met her, but she said she would divorce him if he didn't quit, so he quit, when my mom died he started staying in the garage a lot And I saw tons of beer cans and whiskey. I don't feel sorry for him whatsoever, he's not nice to me he says I'm an idiot and everyone knows it, and calls me fat, and makes fun of my acne. I'm already having a tough time without my mom, now I have to stay with a demon possessed monster, I'm so miserable I want to die.

So, my parents have sex when I am awake. They know I am awake because I give them hugs and kisses on the cheek and whatever a child should do (even if you're a teen like me!) in the morning. However, I find it traumatizing because I hear them. Now, only my parents and a few close friends know that I was sexually abused by my cousin a few years ago. That is the reason it bothers me. When they do have sex in the middle of the damn day (or early morning-I'm an early bird), I try to let them know when they come out of their bedroom by disrespecting them. It's literally the only way I know how to let them know. I tried telling them, but that did nothing. I don't want to tell them the real reason why it bothers me because it's hard to talk about something like that. I know I shouldn't disrespect them, but it's a trigger. Any tips to cope?

Well, my sister is turning 18 tomorrow, and the bought her things for 200$ + tatoo for 60$ + new laptop for 300$. And she will get more presents tomorrown, liek clothes etc.. I am turning 16 on 14 of May, and i am extremely jealous,angry and sad. I was never spoiled kid, and i never get presents i want, that's usually some t-shirt and that's it. While i am being respectful, what happened , is that my dad is working on a really good job now, so i thought why not to ask him for all the years he missed on my birthday, i finally get i chance to ask him for some middle expensive things. What happened, is that he said he will try to give me 60$. Like,rly ? He's got money, i don't just know why they use "it's her 18 birthday" as an exscuse , they are making me very sad :( Because i was hoping for it, and then he don't want to.. Like, i am an excellent student, very good person, but he just don't want me to be able to get what i want.

I was just thinking about this when my girlfriend of 6 months brought it up saying that we don't argue. However I think she's confusing arguing with fighting. Because we don't agree on some things but instead of getting angry we are able to speak calmly to one another and are both willing to try and understand. Even my parents that have been married for 25 years don't argue or should I say "fight". I know they have disagreementa but they always talk it out. I guess to me arguing is just communicating about things you may disagree on in a respectful manner. Fighting is trying to be hurtful, especially when name calling. What do you think?

It's quite a story. I guess i start with I'm a single mom (25); my daughter (almost 4) and i live with my mother and soon she took in one of my sisters and her husband as well. I love my family but there's a lot of things wrong going on. Firstly, I am at my mother's every beck and call, whether to show her how to use her cellphone to paying bills online but she talks to me as a child; when she doesn't understand what I'm saying she is very condescending to me. i get so annoyed with her questions I sneak out when I go out with a man. That's just sad, she makes me feel those needs are not normal. Secondly, my sister and her husband leave and go as they please and borrow my mother's vehicle and she only complains to me about things, not them and tries to demand me to do certain chores. I want to leave but i have absolutely nowhere to go. I'm embarrassed to say i wasn't taught to drive so I'm trying to learn on my own. I do not want an apartment but still need to call someone for rides. I do not deserve to be treated like this.

Ever since I was younger my mom has always been the brick wall between me and my dad. They are divorced. She doesn't let me speak to him on the phone and I only get sensitive him on breaks. I'm so emotionally crazed and I just want her to stop. There's nothing I can do to try to change her mind. She never let's me have a private conversation with him except on visitation were she frieks out while I'm gone.

Me and a few of my friends booked a holiday to Barbados a couple of months ago and we're going in August. I'm 19 and this is my first holiday/vacation without parental guidance. I told my mum about it a few months ago and she said it was fine. But now she will not let me go. She thinks I'm too irresponsible to look after myself. She also thinks something dangerous is going to happen when I'm there. She also thinks I'll get lost when I'm there and split from my friends. Why won't she let me go? Can she do this? Is she rights?

Since Yahoo answers didn't allow me to submit my question as it was exceeding the words lengh size, i am attaching the screenshot of the question. Please suggest me what to do. I have explained the scenario and situation which im going through.
