| Question: Ho 13 anni e voglio andarmene di casa, aiuto? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:30 PM PDT Ho una vita di ***** , sto passando dei monti difficili .Mio padre mi minaccia e dice che me ne devo andare di casa,quando li gira inizia a picchiarmi, dice che non se ne frega niente di me.Mia madre é esaurita! Non ne posso più, voglio scappare di casa ma non so dove andare!!! |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:28 PM PDT So I used to work from 5pm to 3am in the morning and I'm not I'm my normal schedule and I sleep in until 1 and my parents are getting mad at me for sleeping all day and they are going to take the phone away. I don't work anymore but I'm still sleeping in. What should I tell them so they don't take my phone that I bought and pay for? |
| Question: How to cope with my moms constant nagging? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:15 PM PDT we used to have a great relationship but as I got older (I'm 17) she's just been nagging to me constantly about really stupid crap. I feel that she is just getting sick of me from her always saying "if it weren't for some specific people I could move" or her saying "I would have more money if *add passive aggressive comment here* wasn't in the house" its super annoying, she works from home but always gets up from her desk to watch tv or talk on the phone, when I ask her about something or Try to get advice off her she gets up from watching TV or does a hand motion to get me to walk away then gets back to work, when I walk by the office I hear her say under her breath, "things would be a lot easier if you weren't distracting me" it really ticks me off, she's always trying to find something wrong about me to call me lazy even though I do tons of chores, I dont have chores on Sunday but if I watch tv, play video games, or go to my dads house she calls me lazy and is like we have a lot of work to be done around the house. She has a pig and a dog that I'm always taking care of but as soon as my cat gets sick or something crap hits the fan and she complains saying "I'm done taking care of all the animals by my self" she has a really old English bull dog that's gets bullied by the pig, she does nothing about it but when I see the 600lb pig overpower a old small 120lb dog I push the pig off and screams at me saying Im gonna hurt the pig. How do I cope with this, its making stressed |
| Question: I think my brother SOLD my Ipad? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:15 PM PDT So im 12 and my brother is 18 and he has always been the bad one and rebelled a lot. Anyways, he doesnt live with us cause my mom sent him to live with my uncle to set him straight he only comes to see us during the summer. Well, one night I decide to put my Ipad on the cabnet in my room and it was really really hot that night so I went to sleep in my mom's room cause she has a better fan then I wake up and I go to my room and my brother was obviously in my room because he messed up my bed (from sleeping on it) he disconnected my charger and put his own charger and the only thing left wrong is that I cant find my Ipad? My mom and I searched the whole room left and right but we cant find it. My brother has been known to selling other peoples stuff (He sold my uncle's jordans, He has searched and sold my grandma's gold jewelry, He sold my mom's watch) Im honestly really am thinking it was him, but Im scared to confront him because he has a lot of attitude and would probably get mad at me plus I hate talking and assuming things. But now my mom is giving me attitude and thinking it was my fault that my Ipad is now lost because of me when I take care of it and literally put it in a spot that was very visible. What do you guys think? |
| Question: How can I cope with missing my family? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:14 PM PDT Hi, a few days ago I returned home after visiting my family in Asia for a month. A majority of my extended family lives there and it is so ridiculously huge. Now that I'm older, I am more aware of how important family is and to see them all grow up without me breaks my heart. Anyways, I miss them so much and can't stop crying when I think about them. I've been calling them frequently but I get teary-eyed hearing their voices and it makes me even more homesick even though I wasn't born there. I know I'm not alone here in America, it's just so lonely without them and so difficult knowing I won't be able to visit again for at least 4 years because tickets are so expensive and I'm going to college soon. How can I feel better? |
| Question: Im embarrassed to text my cousin? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:11 PM PDT So i just met my cousin on my dads side last week and we were supposed to have a sleepover but her step mom was soo rude so i called my dad to pick me up. We exchanged phone numbers and i was going to text her but...idk. I was going to ask her if she wanted to take me to the mall because they opened a new lush store but im scared. Idk why i just am. I have never been to the mall by myself before only with my mom. She doesn't have a car so we would have to take the bus or have one of our parents take us. Should i ask? How should i say it? Please help :/ |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:10 PM PDT About 6 years ago my parents separated. The first year or so she neglected my brother and I. She would be gone weeks at a time, partying, and would visit us for a night and it would start again. During this time, my dad was a mess. He struggled with raising us, and delt with financial issues because my mom wouldn't help. After that she got with a guy. I think it was too soon for me and I hated him. Within a month or so he had moved in. She tried to force me to like him and put in a situation or two with him that I didn't feel comfortable with. My mom and I got into many fights, most with which had to do with my dad, my weight and the way I looked, or why I didn't like her boyfriend. They broke after a year because he had drinking problems and he was seriously bipolar, and wasn't taking his meds. Since then there have been a few incidents that make me question her rationality. She will somehow exaggerate or twist things that have happened and believe that they are true. If I try to dispute this she gets angry. When this happens she will do anything to keep me from speaking (usually screaming over me), and will do anything just to get me to say what she wants me to hear, whether I am sincere or not. I have noticed through the past year I have built up a lot of resentment towards her. In the past few months she has tried to get on my good side but I am just done with her. At worst I feel like I hate her, at my best it is really hard to stand her. I just don't know what to do! |

| Question: Why do family doubts future dreams and goals? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:04 PM PDT I am 17 in a half, and I will be a senior at PA this year. I have told my family what I wanted to be in life. First graduate high school, Second go to college, Then Transfer to medical school to study about the heart and become an heart surgeon. I want to help people with heart problems. But thing is half of my family think I'm not going to make it. They think because I'm young and is engaged I'm not going to be anything in life. And they think my fiance is going to mess my life up, but he's my biggest supporter. |
| Question: What do I do? Need advice? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:03 PM PDT Hi so I'm 20 years old and my parents are still constantly up my *** about everything. I go to a school right now but plan on transferring to a different school once my gpa increases a little more. So with transferring I told my parents exactly what I plan on doing, I told them I really want to start my own business and go to school for either CS or chemical engineering so I can learn more about building the product I have an idea of. They said that's great as long as I earn a degree but now they are trying to get me to go to this below average school just to play baseball because I have an in on the team and they are obsessed with the fact of me playing in college. Don't get me wrong I love baseball and love playing it I just feel like that would be the wrong path to take. They say that it will give me structure to my life etc. but I don't see myself being successful going that route. I really don't know what I should do, every time I tell my parents what I want to do they say that's great but then they always have to throw their 2 cents in. They continue to control my life and make my decisions for me even though they ask how I feel, it's like they don't even realize they're doing it and it's not just in this one instance. They always ask me to talk to them and give them feedback but anytime I open my mouth and say how I feel I always get deferred its EXTREMELY annoying and I'm getting to old for that bs. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 01:00 PM PDT In my family, and in all its drama, if Im ever involved it seems as if Im to blame. I can understand that the same way i am very certain that they're wrong, they can feel the same way about me being in the wrong. Right because why else would they start an argument? But i believe that if i show them how they are wrong that they'll realize and leave me alone, or walk away, they don't have to admit it i don't need that. I would just like to be left alone, and not screamed at. So here is an example: I work nights so i was awake last night, i was off but awake because as badly as i hate being a night owl, i don't want to be thrown off a sleep schedule. So my mom barges in my room and tells me to wake up and go with my brother to the mechanic. First shes screaming at me saying i have to go then she says "are you going," asking me. So i say, " i just woke up, no one told me before, i need some time to get myself together." By the time i would be ready they would be closed. So this is the 2nd time this happened. Their mad at me bc i cant go on time but i was never notified before hand. If they told me i would have slept earlier, and woke up sooner. Then i have to deal with my mom cursing me out, when their isnt anything i could have done differently. My brother should have told me a whole day in advanced, were both busy he should understand that people need to be notified that they're going to do something. |
| Question: How to deal with a super annoying younger sister? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:52 PM PDT Here are the problems I have with her (she's 9). 1. She won't stop doing something after you've told her a million times to stop. Like I have gotten to points where I've yelled at her, but she just laughs in my face and keeps doing it. She does that to everyone, not just me. 2. She's SUPER loud and hyper! She yells even when you're right next to her! People keep telling her to be quiet and calm down but she doesn't. 3. She ALWAYS has to be better than me! Like if she sees something I own that she likes, she goes on Amazon and buys it. I can't have anything that's special to me! 4. She doesn't think before she acts or talks. She always says random stuff and inappropriate stuff and always acts super gross! She even sometimes touches me on purpose in really inappropriate ways. So how do I deal with these problems? |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:49 PM PDT He was married forcefully by his parents at the age of 36years. My mother is a sweet caring and sensitive lady. But my father has always shown his frustration and anger on us. I has never appreciated any of us. And wants to control my every decision. When I was a child he used to beat me and strip me. After all this I can't love him. I actually dislike him. He knows I love a girl of my choice but still wants me to marry only the girl of his choice. I don't know how to deal with him. He is 65 I am 25. |
| Question: My daughter says she hates me? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:42 PM PDT I'm a single father, she's 17. Few hours ago she asked me last min. if her boyfriend( who irritates me) could sleepover. I said no. She offered that he sleep downstairs and she sleeps upstairs. I told her I wasn't stupid, fully knowing that someone would wait until I dozed off, then sneak to the other person's room. I said no. She gave me puppy dog eyes, pouted, etc, I said no. She cried, said I was an awful, mean dad, she hated me and that she can't wait to leave home. She's still in her room crying with the door locked. Help. |
| Question: Mothers maiden name? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:32 PM PDT Ellers |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:31 PM PDT So this has been happening for a really long time now, but my mom is often so critical and mean that I know that when I am 18, I am sure that I will move out as soon as I can. My mom used to be so mean that at every single little thing that I've done wrong, like taking out spoons when I set out the table when we needed forks, she would give such a harsh punishment. I've done everything to please her. For example, she always complains about pains in her back or whatever, and so I bought massage oil for her and I did this whole huge massage thing and she was kind of happy about it, but she didn't thank me or anything. The next morning, I specially did the homework that she always wants me to do but I can never find time to do it. However, when I did one thing wrong, which was accidentally leave one piece of trash on my desk, and I didn't see it because it was slightly hidden, she accused me of lying about it and I got a "chinese punishment" and if you don't get that that's okay. :( Well, I have never talked about this before, and if there is anything I can do about this please tell me. I'm honestly so tired of living in the constant fear of my mom, and I'm way too young to do anything about it yet. Thanks and sorry for the long paragraph! |

| Question: Having a Muslim boyfriend is causing a rift in my family? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:29 PM PDT I have a serious boyfriend and we're both adults (I'm 28, he's 26). My BF is of Kurdish decent but was born and raised in Germany. He has a master degree from a leading technical university in Germany and has been working in NYC for 2 years (where we first met). I never care about people's religion and my BF is not religious either. He doesn't drink alcohol or eat pork out of (family) habit but he doesn't fast either, and very rarely prays, if ever. He's just a normal guy and more German than anything else. When we started dating I didn't tell my family and told them he's just a friend, and my family likes him a lot. I've met his parents in Germany and they're rather simple but hard-working and very nice. We've talked about how IF we get married (like, how should we raise our children), and he thinks it's best to let the children know both cultures and if they must, then they'll prefer their own religion, which I think is very mature and sensible. Recently I told my family about our relationship and all hell broke loose. I'm very angry to my family. Why are people so afraid that a Muslim will turn a fanatic in a few years? If he's white, people wouldn't think that he'd be a white supremacist after a time. I love my BF and will never leave them b/c of my family. My BF is always friendly to them, but now they're downright insulting. Any sensible idea to stop this nonsense, or can anyone relate? I wonder if such behavior is common in our society nowadays. |
| Question: I've been kicked out of my house by my mum? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:28 PM PDT It seems my mum wasn't joking about kicking me out. Me and her boyfriend had an argument and she said that enough was enough, told me to pack my stuff and get out, and that anything I left behind would get thrown away. I thought she was kidding but she wasn't and she won't let me back in. I don't know where to go. I'm in the library at the moment but it's shutting soon. I could stay with my nan I guess but she's very old and lives in a small care assisted flat. What should I do? I'm 38 and male if that makes any difference. |
| Question: Anyone here a younger brother that has an older brother that is 2 years apart? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:25 PM PDT Anyone here? |
| Question: Is it natural not to really like your family? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:20 PM PDT It seems like most of the time im just annoyed or pissed at them and the only time i can really enjoy being around my mom is when I'm drunk, high, or on other drugs. While on these drugs is the only time I really felt like I love any of my family. My dad isn't to bad though but most of the time he annoys me. They are just so unintelligent and talk about the most boring things, whenever my mom tells me a story i find it almost impossible to feign interest. She is also an anxiety freak and overprotective. I don't really like any of my extended family either they're all really boring. I sometimes wonder if I would every really talk to them anymore if i didn't need them and dream about moving away and going some place where i can be away from them. I used to like my brother and sister more too but now I don't really feel positive emotions when i see them. Most of the time I feel like I have to fake my love for them. Is this normal in a highly disfunctional family or am I some kind of psychopath? |
| Question: I think my mum is verbally/emotionally abusive toward me.? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:18 PM PDT I am 12 years old and I have divorced parents. Now here's what I'm going to be talking about.It all started when I was about the age of 2. In the car I was talking. So I heard someone say crapx. And me being as young as I was I didn't know what it meant. I didn't know it was a bad word. So I said it and my mum asked "What did you just say?" And I said "nothing" she got mad at me. Like REALLY mad, and she hit my thigh repeatedly. And of course I was crying, and she was yelling at me. So that's where it all began. Now as I got to older and got into 2nd grade, I had issues with friends because people were really mean to me. Every time I told my mother what was going on she would always end up yelling at me and saying "YOU DON'T LISTEN!" And a lot of other things which made me feel bad. Now in 4th grade I was bullied really badly and it was to the point where I thought about hurting myself or ending my life. And my mum would never make me feel wanted, when I was going through this. My mum always tells me I never pay attention, I don't listen, I NEVER out pride in my work, she's sick of me, and she invades my privacy. When I do something wrong she never confronts me about it. She always puts me on punishment for it and doesn't want to hear what I'm trying to say. Now I am a fan of One Direction and they're the only thing that makes me happy. And she threatens to make me take down all my posters and give away every thing dealing with them. I need (thrs more but I can't fit it all) |
| Question: Is leaving home at 18 Good or Bad? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:17 PM PDT I am 17 going to be 18 in 6 weeks from now. And I'm planning on moving out of my mothers house. Others say I'm not ready and I'm going to be crying to come back home. I'm a very independent person, I love doing stuff on my own. And I'm a very hardworking person. |
| Question: I feel like I'm a bad child? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 12:10 PM PDT Okay, well there's two things I need to clear up. 1. I feel like my little sister doesn't get enough attention from the family. I mean, my parents pay attention to her but my grandmother has flown over from the UK and she deliberately is showing her that she likes me more than her. It's really depressing for me to see, because I love my little sister and I'm going to be honest here - I don't show it really well. I'm often in a grumpy mood (hormones ugh) and I feel like I'm quite mean to her a lot of the time. I hate seeing her upset and I've just gone through this phase of realization. I hate to even think about what she's dealing with. Her grandparents neglect her, and she's got the worst, meanest big sister. I also quite often see her coming home from school really upset because she hasn't got any real friends and some boys can be really mean to her. She's only 9 and she's already going through rough times. 2. My dad. He works, literally, ALL DAY. He gets up at 8AM and goes to bed the next day at around 1 or 2 AM. He works all the time to pay for the mortgage, the bills, our education AND I feel like I'm being really greedy. Which is what is really bothering me. I know so many things that I really want but I feel like if I ask my dad to buy it for me, it'll be really greedy of me. I'd feel guilty. Okay so, he's paid $60 for a year subscription to a website I don't even use ( Which I feel TERRIBLE for), He's paying monthly for Spotify Premium ($10 a month) |
| Question: I don't think my parents will support my dream? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:46 AM PDT Okay so, I really love playing video games. I find them enjoyable and half of the time a lot more enjoyable than going outside. It's just something I like. However my parents have taken away my computer previliges many times this summer for not going outside much. I can see why they're doing that, but it's not going to change me at all. My parents are very strict and want me to get a real job like becoming an orthodontist one day. I on the other hand wants to become a professional gamer. Sure, I'll have a plan B if anything ever goes wrong, but the thing is I just want to fulfill something that would make me happy in life. What do I do so my parents will support me? They hate it when I'm on the computer and constantly yell at me for being up too late on it. They don't understand that I'd much rather be on what they refer to "the stupid computer game" than being outside and being bored. This causes me to think my parents won't support me in becoming a professional gamer. So.. what do I do? Thanks. |
| Question: My dad checks my butt out? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:41 AM PDT ok so I'm 14 and in the last few months I've noticed my dad checking my butt out when I wear shorts or leggings. He's never been like this until lately and he's not weird touchy or anything he's never been! I'm really freaked out, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that I notice him doing it so he continues to do it, and every time he's walking behind me or something I'm really paranoid that he's looking at me. I don't know how to tell my mom or if I should, is it normal? I'm pretty sure it's not but, please help?! |

| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:27 AM PDT Do you think this teacher is trying to attract attention from boys by dressing and acting this way? I have this, 20 something year old Math teacher for the previous year but I failed the class but am taking it again in summer school and she is teaching it. During the year she always dressed professionally but now she always wear somewhat short shorts and short sleeve shirts all and She also seems to want to chat more with her male students. Is she trying to be flirty and get the attention of her male students? if you found out your kids teacher was dressing like that would you complain |
| Question: My dad's girlfriend keeps trying to interfere with everything? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:27 AM PDT My dad's girlfriend, Sarah, is a nice and caring person. She cares about me and my dad. But recently, she's been trying to interfere with my dad and I's life. Like, of course they can see each other and stuff but there are certain days I just want to be with my dad and no one else. She isn't giving us any space and my dad doesn't mind that- but I do. My house doesn't feel like home anymore because she and (sometimes her friends) are always around. What should I do? It's making me really depressed. My dad and I used to play video games together, go to the movies together, go eat at restaurants etc but now it's either him and Sarah or the three of us. There's no dad and I anymore and I feel depressed because of that. There's one more year left for me to move to another country for university and I will miss my dad. What shall I do, other than talking to him about it? Because I tried and he got defensive immediately. |
| Question: Are you a judgmental in law? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:26 AM PDT Do you disaporove of your son or daughter in law? Why is this? |
| Question: What am I missing? Is she serious? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:24 AM PDT I am fed up with my almighty wife telling me what to do. There are two bathrooms in our house but the master bath is a small stand shower so I shower in the hall bathroom is bigger. So lets say that Ii leave the bedroom with a pair of underwear and a towel in my hand. My wife will btich about me walking through the house in my underwear or a towel on. She even checks that I have underwear on under the towel. Now she makes me wear shorts out of the bathroom. I am not allowed at the table without a shirt. She says no devices at her table. Just btiching about everything. But seriously, we got little girls in the house and she say that they don't need to see dad in his underwear or shirtless at the table. But she get to walk through the house in her underwear. She walk through the house in thongs and the girls question if she has underwear on at all because they can't see her panties. Then there are times when she run through the house in a towel only. And I can't say shti to her. Then she tells me that it is different when she does it. Now she trying to tell me what pictures I can keep on my IPad. She got two kids from a previous relationship. A daughter and a son. Her son is 22 and my step daughter just turned 14. I caught a picture of Hannah in the pool drinking a Sprite. She told me that it looks provocative. Sometimes I think she's jealous that her daughter looks the way she used to when she was younger. NOTHING about my step daughter is provocative. |
| Question: How can I make my father stop grounding me from school? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:24 AM PDT Sometimes my father invites me to family gatherings, dinner, activities, etc. and acts like they aren't a big deal-- just "come if you want". But when I decide not to go, my father tells me I can't use the car. The only time I use the car is to drive to school, so in a sense, he is grounding me from going to school. He also punishes me if I don't participate in religious practices-- which just makes me resent the religion, but if I am religious I want it to be of my own free will. There aren't any bus routes I could use and my classes are 10+ miles away. I started a Medical Assistant course over the summer and it is the most important thing in my life right now. When school starts, I am going to be a senior with the MA course along with AP courses. My grades are going to suffer and I need to keep them up to be eligible for a college scholarship. How can I convince my father to let me go to class or punish me differently? Please be be honest, but not cruel. Thanks. |
| Question: What do I do with my mom? :(? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:21 AM PDT Ok read this please.. I go to summer school. And my mom usually drops me off there @ 8 a.m. every day Monday-friday and then she comes and picked me up @ 11:45ish that's when lunch is over 4 summer school. I texted her today telling her that I'm ready to go and that she can come pick me up by the lunchroom I waited for like 5 minutes no response... Which is weird cuz she usually texts me back saying shes on her way. So I stayed in the lunchroom talking with my friends for a little bit. Now it's about 15 min pass since I texted her. Still no response.. Until I get a call from her I answer it and she literally starts screaming in my ear she says "where the f**k are you? I'm waiting here like a dumbass b**ch" and I just hung it up there I ran out and as soon as I opened the car door she starts screaming at me again and banging her hands on the steering wheel. Saying things like "you made me f*cking pick u up and your a** is not even ready" and she just kept on screaming like that on the way here I started crying saying I was sorry but she kept screaming and cussing @ me. Until we got home I followed her to the front door she slammed the door right in my face very hard. So I'm here in my room now crying. This isn't the first time this has happend. My mom has type 2 diebties and she takes a bunch of pills and I guess they have side effects. I'm just a 14 year old girl... Idk what to do.. I hate it when this happens.. Sometimes she will get so depressed and then just really angry. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:19 AM PDT I have recently graduated from college. I had been staying away from home for studies and now I have come back to spend a few days at home. I recently landed a good job on the other side of the country. It's all nice and good up to here. But, my mom is extremely sad that I'd be living away from home. She has stopped smiling or laughing recently. Now I feel like I am letting her down and in the back of my mind her sadness is keeping me from concentrating on my career. I will miss her too, dearly, no doubt. But I have to choose between my mom's feelings and my career. She keeps telling me the house feels empty and haunted without me. I don't know what to do. |
| Question: Should I remind family of debts they owe to me? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:11 AM PDT So I'm not the most helpful person, well sometimes I'm down right lazy. I have been adding more money to my at home stash for a while till I can transfer some if not all to bank account. I've noticed some money I lend to my brother or to my mom have not been paid, so long that I forgot what they told me what they needed it for. FYI they've never exceded more than $25 and not that much debt is owed. For example the latest loan was for gas and my mom said she'd pay me back. I'm not sure if she's forgotten or can't pay it back at this moment. Should I remind them or can I let it slide for all they've done for me? Especially for my mom? Or should I remind them? Also, they have paid me back in the past. |
| Question: This guy was following me? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:10 AM PDT I was walking and I saw this guy on a moped. And I noticed he was looking at me. Like dead staring. So I turned to see and he was still looking. As he was going up the street, I was going down. I thought to myself 'okay just hurry and get home'. And the dude made a u-turn. So I assumed that he lived where he stopped. So I kept walking and I heard him keep going. I started to get scared because I realized he was following me. And he stopped and was asking me for my number or a ride. I was nervous so I just said "I can't hear you". And he said it again and I said like "no". Then he just sat there looking at me and then he was like okay and went down the street. Then he turned around again and gave me this awkward wave. I'm a teenage girl btw. What should I do? It kinda scared me. And I never seen this guy before, ever. |
| Question: Discipline issues with a six year old? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:04 AM PDT My six year old brother won't behave at all (I'm at home this summer with him and my grandparents.) He tries biting me, or even taking a spoon from the kitchen and trying to hit me when I get mad at him for not listening (using bad language, turning on the TV when I told him no, etc.) When I try spanking him or taking him to time out, he starts shouting, and my grandparents yell at me and make me stop. They don't discipline him at all, and when my parents come home and I tell them of his misbehavior, they don't enforce things like putting him in time-out. (they've gotten super laid-back over the years; when I was younger and would misbehave, they would spank me and i would learn my lesson) This is really frustrating, as I want him to grow up well and learn right from wrong. If no one is enforcing it, what's going to happen? I tell my parents and grandparents this, but they don't listen. What to do? Thanks. I can't really take privileges away from him; like when I say he can't watch TV, he'll ask my grandparents and they'll let him, despite me telling them not to. And when I tell him to stop watching TV, he says something along the lines of "well grandma and grandpa said I could, and they're older than you" :/ |
| Question: My brother is a 26 year old bully? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:04 AM PDT My 26 year old dumb*ss brother is still living with my parents. Seriously this pathetic lil sh*t won t move out. He is such a bully too. He ll comment on how I have so many problems with school, how my boobs are hella small, on my legs being too thick and everything just to hurt me and for his own filthy f*cking pleasure. He used to bully children when he was younger even tho he himself got bullied too. I have been bullied so much in my entire live and I m so sick of him. Now the weird part is that my parents give no f*cks. They do not care at all. They won t say sh*t when my brother bullies me. It s so frustrating. And it s even more pathetic that he s ruining my life like this since I m 10 years younger than him. This isn t just f*ckin sibling rivalry, this motherf*cker is ruining my life. I don't really have a question, but I would like your opinion on this. |
| Question: Grandma and mom share custody.? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:01 AM PDT Hi guys. Recently we went to court and our mom tried to fight for us. We chose to stay with our grandma in texas but our mom lived in idaho. Going through court and stuff my mom got joint custody with my grandma but we resign in texas. Everytime I visit my mom I feel anxious when I have to leave her house.. I end up breaking down when I get back home. I was wondering if I could try living with my mom and go to school up here and see if I like it. And if I dont like it I could go back with my grandma. My grandma says it wont work like that because my mom will eventually get full custody and wont let me go back. is this true? |
| Question: Trouble with my mother about cleaning? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:51 AM PDT She's such a neat freak I cannot stand it. If I don't walk around polishing everything 24/7, I'm a dirty and untidy person. All the time she's like "don't sit there, better clean your room". I always keep my room in order but I don't want to run after every little bit of dust. What about you? Do you polish everything everyday? |
| Question: Am I just being jealous ? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:48 AM PDT My sister is a pretty good artist and she gets plenty of well deserved complements from my newer family members, but I am considered the black sheep of the family thinking I have never accomplished anything worthwhile , but I risked my life rescuing four drowning children, I'm not even sure the parents of those children knew what I did , but my other family members know about it and have never even told anyone about it. Maybe it's just me , but I would think that saving the lives of children would be just a little more important than being a respected artist. Am I wrong to think I deserve some respect myself? I certainly don't get any. |
| Question: Does growing up change your summer? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:37 AM PDT So far I am a little bit dissapointed about my summer. It all started in the last week of May when I finally flew home from college. I was pretty excited to go tohp Taiwan for two weeks, getting to hang out with my girl and expecting a job. I did went to Taiwan, but I stayed in my grandmother's place 70 percent of the trip. When I got back home, I finally get to see my girl, but only get to see her like 3 hours a week which is not a long time. Most of the time we argue or study together, never really get to play with each other. She also have a job and take care of her brother. For me, I couldnt find any job even though I applied 50, I finally got an interview which is in two days, but I would only work there for a month if I get the job. So basically, I dont think they would be able to hire me anyway. I believe this whole summer is a huge waste. I stayed home like a couch potato and do nothing everyday... |
| Question: I'm a bad person for thinking this of my family? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:26 AM PDT They don't treat me bad, they give me tons of love. In 18 and I spend one year studying abroad. During all the year I didn't miss them, I didn't missed my home. Now that I come back I feel like an outsider in my own country and I want to go away. My mother told me that when I was abroad she used to cry for me every night because she missed me. I didn't even think about them very much. I just want to go away. |
| Question: Opinion On Having My Mother Read Through My Phone - Read Description? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:23 AM PDT I'm a 15 Y/O guy who goes to a Christian HS. I'm a good kid, I don't do drugs, drink alcohol, I actually think when it comes to choices. Around half a year ago, my older sister (who is in college) got kicked out for smoking marijuana, even since then, my mom decides to completely shut down all privacy I have. She has complete access to my phone, and normally goes through it when she wakes up but I'm asleep, as well as the ability to get on my social media at any time. I don't do anything wrong on either, nor do I follow anyone I should not. Why doesn't she seem to trust me even when I've earned that trust in the past and done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to make not trust me? I know she is trying to protect me, but this doesn't seem the best way possible, because I don't trust her at all now. I really like a girl and she likes me. We are constantly texting and calling each other (I plan on doing nothing inappropriate). My mom decides to make it awkward and read through it all anyways. I just wished my mom had some sort of boundaries, because she looked through that this morning. She's in no way a bad girl, I literally met her at church camp. I can't talk to her in person because she lives over 45 minutes away, I just want some privacy in romance... |
| Question: Want to play football but can't? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:18 AM PDT so i'll be going into my freshmen year when school starts and i want to play football but the thing is i live 20 minutes away if my mom drops my off but the thing is my mom cant drop me off or pick me up because she has to work and she's a single mom, its also 3 hours walk and 1 hour bus (i checked) and i'm willing to walk or take the bus, but that's not the problem the problem is my brother.

Anyways how do i convince my brother to stay home alone and my mom to let me play or should i just give up but thing is i really don't want to give up i really want to play anyways thanks in advance :) |
| Question: Sneaking going somewhere without my mom finding out? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:14 AM PDT Hello, I need to go somewhere for about an hour to an hour and a half without my mom knowing. Because of the technology filled world we live in today, this is difficult. I have an iPhone as does my mom and she has access to my account and can therefore check find my iphone to see my locaton if she somehow suspects anything. Therefore, any suggestions like "just say you re going to a place that s okay and go there instead" is risky and will not work. She works so I would ideally prefer to not tell her anything, drive there while she is at work, and come home before she is finished working. Another idea is telling her I am going to that same location but seeing someone she knows/likes. Or not saying anything and if caught, then telling her I was going to that same location to see someone she knows/likes but didn t want to tell her because I didn t want her to disapprove of me going there and tell me to meet them locally instead. Opinions on my ideas or HELPFUL suggestions/new ideas would be great. Please keep the find my iphone app in mind otherwise your advice won t be helpful. Also, no I cannot just turn the app off. She will be notified via email and that will just raise red flags. |
| Question: Male early childhood teacher creepy? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:12 AM PDT I"m considering doing a graduate diploma in early childhood education and becoming an early childhood teacher. And I'm a guy. Does that creep you out? I feel like I would be ashamed tell my job to people because it's a girly job and people might think that I'm a pedo. I'm no pedo but people might suspect it and I don't like that. I love working with children. But I don't particularly like teens. They are arrogant brats. I can either become a secondary school teacher OR an early childhood teacher. That's the only jobs that I can do due to my qualifications. But there are hardly any secondary school teacher jobs but there are a lot of early childhood teacher jobs. Is it creepy to be a male early childhood teacher? I have taught adults before. |
| Question: I really dont like horses? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 10:04 AM PDT I've rode for years. Ever since I was 9. But, I have ALWAYS hated it. My first lesson- I fell off. The second barn I went to had the shittiest, snobbiest people. The third barn nearly worked me till I thought I was going to throw up. The last barn is ok, but it doesnt stop how I feel. Horses are pushy, arrogant creatures that are huge and ungraceful. They reek, and are kinda ugly and have no manners or empathy whatsoever. I've met hamsters with more bravery. They are sensitive to EVERYTHING, and are expensive. I've always felt like this, but hid it from my mother who ADORES horses. She wanted me to be a champion like her. So when she adopted me a horse two years ago, I didn't know how to react. It's her's now, they bonded over time as I planned. What are your opinions? Was I wrong to never tell my mother? |

| Question: Mom and dad have been quarrelling a lot.? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:45 AM PDT I for one agree with dad. Mom never cares about us, she loves her sisters and brothers and their children more than us. Dad on the other hand is in love with her. Today i told dad he should get divorced. He replied: "i wont be that civilized, i ll either the house forever or i ll kill your mom." i got shocked what should i do? |
| Question: My mom is constantly bragging on my sister and downing me? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:41 AM PDT My mom is always bragging on my older sister. She tells her she's a pretty thing and has pretty this or that and that she's so attractive ect. I understand parents are suppose to brag on there kids but problem is she does not do it to me. What's so interesting is she will NOT compliment me in front of my sister is she does, which is not often. She does not want me to have long hair, but she likes for my sister to have long hair. She keeps telling me it looks bad. Last week it was hot and I wore some high waisted ripped baggy jean shorts and a tank top; I rarely show my skin. But for some reason my mom wanted me to wear my cardigan telling me to put it on constantly. My sister had on skin tight shorts and a tank top but she never told her to cover up. Why is my mom only downing my looks? Does she hate me or something, I'm so tired of it bc I'm dealing with a lot of other stuff in my life and I don't need my mom hating me. It's like she is trying to make me not like myself also. What do you guys think is going on? Also for more background my older sister has a kid and is much shorter than me and I'm quite tall. |
| Question: HELP PLZ | Important Question?? Why do u think my mom doesn't want to come with? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:39 AM PDT Btw I m 15 so maybe my emotions are wack and I m overreacting but anyway my father has a job where he travels but only from monday - thursday(sometimes he won t even come home from mon-thurs but work is work and I do understand and I am thankful that he has a wonderful job:)) but from friday - sunday he is always home so he s there for family outings and just relaxing so anyway he booked us a holiday for a weekend at durban(south africa) which is a 7 hour drive from where we live and it was supposed to be a family holiday and we all agreed that we wanted to go but after my father booked the rooms my mother suddenly didn t wanna go she just really didn t want to go(I guess it s a 7 hour drive there and a 7 hour drive back so maybe that was her reason)but I took it the wrong way and assumbed she was upset with my father and didn t wanna be with him due to an arguement they just had but she said that that s not the reason she doesn t want to come she is just not liss to go. She told my brother and I that she always has alone time with us from mon-thurs(also we are homeschooled so she is also our teacher so she literally spends the whole day with us) and she thinks that we should still go with our father because we never spend alone time with him(when he is home we always do things as a family) and she won t mind having some alone time. She was really sweet about it and said it in a nice tone(she wasn t angry) and she said that the weekend will fly by and we ll be together again. Also they are a bit moody with each other but not drastic - they were talking to each other(a bit) and they watched tv together. Do you guys think I'm overreacting and she just doesn't have the want to go???? Plz guys this is killing me We usually do outings together as a family so maybe this is just odd for me? What do u guys think??? Ok so let me be more detailed. My father only travels every 2nd week but never week after week and he rarely goes from Mon-Fri he usually goes for 2 or 3 days and when he doesn't travel he always comes home early(like 3 in the afternoon) |
| Question: How do I tell my dad I'm moving out at the last minute? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:36 AM PDT I'm 27 and my boyfriend and I found a shared room just found a shared room we can both afford. We are going to move in with in a few days. We weren't sure at first if we are going to take it because we had to see how the commute will be from work will.

| Question: How can I buy clothes online without my parents finding out? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:21 AM PDT I know how to use PayPal and such to pay for it, and I'm not worried about my parents finding the package as my mom is out west all week for business and my dad doesn't check the mail. What I'm most worried about is that my mom knows all the clothing I own. She says I have to much and doesn't let me buy anymore or go to the mall. So I want to buy a pair of underwear online but let's just say my mom probably wouldn't approve of this kind. She does all my laundry so she will definitely see it. So how do I hide this from her? |
| Question: Why dose'nt my Dad trust me? Posted: 20 Jul 2015 09:14 AM PDT Im a 13 year old girl and I'm not really sure if my dad trusts me or not? Almost every day he goes through everything of mine. We always fight about it, and he says he has the right because its his house. I have told him it makes me uncomfortable and he doesn't care. I just wanna know really is it normal for your father to watch you at all times and to snoop though all of your things? I have never given his a reason to not trust me, and he has always done this before I can remember. |
