I'm a 25 year old male and both me and my 20 year old sister are in fairly good shape. However, over the past couple of years, her legs have been getting pretty muscular and defined while mine just stay very skinny. I've been noticing but was hoping she wasn't. Yesterday I was at my parents house and both me and my sister were sitting on the couch. She challenged me to this leg wrestling thing where we both laid on our backs, pushed our feet against each others, and tried to push the other one's legs back. I felt like I was trying to push steel. She easily not only pushed my legs back within seconds but she pushed me right off the couch. Getting beaten in a strength contest by someone younger than me + female + sister = the most humiliating thing I ever experienced and it didn't help that she was giggling about it. She's not some big girl or anything either she can't weigh more than 130 pounds. How is this possible? Please don't just tell me that I'm a wimp, because she already proved that to me, I was just wondering how this is scientifically possible. I always thought that when guys and girls grow up the guys are supposed to always be much stronger than the women are.

Hello guys, I am a 14 yrs old boy from Romania (not a very good country) and I am in 8th grade (I am really sorry about my english since is not my native language) I really hate my mother since I was very young like 3 yrs old 'till now. She always yells at me for my grades which if you ask me are really good for a guy like myself, so let's say my grades are like a rate from, 0 to 1 I ussualy get 9 and rarely 10 and 8. but Whatever I do I can't make my mother happy because all the people that she works with say their kids get only 10... Yea I think that's the biggest bullshit I ever heard and she always says I am a failure, go **** myself, kill myself, leave this house and live on the street, go live on the country side, etc. .I always felt my dad is the only one that loves me and he also hates her most of the time but he can do **** because the house we live in it's hers and my dad doesn't have any house or apartment to live in.When guests come to our home my mother always change her personality and not showing them her evil part which is the main one. She makes food for us once a week and I ussualy eat junk food because we don't have something else to eat... One day I was really calm and she started yelling at me because I left my t -shirt on the floor and she wanted to throw my t-shirt outside and I grabbed it and putted it on my chair than she pushed me and slapped me and I got really pissed and I pushed her and she fel and then she runned. I really hater her and I don't know what to do anymore with all this stress on me , sometimes I have suicidal toughts or I suddenly start crying because sad moments pop up in my head. I can't really do many things to her because my father will take her side and start to beat me. I also have a lazy brother which lives in Denmark since 2011 and he stil doesn't have a job and my father gives him money ... and my father now have debts and my mother buys expensive furniture We don't have money but she still buys useless things because they make her happy, one day we will be really poor because of her stupidness, tell me I am the one who ***** up everything in this family, or she is the one ?

Ok, so my husband and I have been having a bedtime battle with our toddlers (who are 2 and 1, born a little over 12 months apart). We were both sick all last week, and by the weekend, in desperate need of a restful sleep. We have been following their bedtime routine more religiously than attending church (for lack of a better way of putting it). With these two, nothing seems to work, except sleeping side-by-side (together). They constantly wake up during the night. Their doctor has recommended that we just offer whatever support and comfort they need, in hopes they will "eventually" grow out of this phase. My husband, and both of our parents agree that allowing them to sleep together is better for the overall health, and good of the family. I disagree! I think they should learn to sleep in their own beds. I plan to revisit the issue with their doctor at my son's 12 month check-up next week. But in the meantime, should I just loosen the reins and let them sleep together, if everyone is happier, healthier, and well-rested as a result, or should I continue to battle with them, including the husband, to teach them their beds are for sleeping?

So i live alone in texas and a Mexican lady who recently moved here as my next door neighbor with her family asked me out. I declined saying we can be friends. (her dad is scary, i don't know who she is and im better off alone since i cant take the responsibility.didnt tell her anything else but we can be friends) Now they think im racist and are calling me a "trump sucker" threw an egg at my window yesterday, and just are outright assholes to me overall. and what i said exactly was "Im sorry, i dont really know you and i feel i should be single right now, but we can be friends. I can add you on facebook if you want?" then after she was silent for a moment and got angry. and now im in this current situation. again, like i said, she lives with her dad, (along with her brother, 2 sisters, and an aunt) can anyone tell me what i can do? no trolls please, i dont really feel so well atm in this situation I asked this a few times before, i just want max answers

I'm a 26 year old male still living at home in the state of Ohio. I caught my 15 year old sister and her 16 year old friend having sex. At first I was hearing noises coming down the hall from my sisters room. The door was slightly open, I opened the door fully. I saw my sister and her friend completely naked and doing sexual activity with each other. They both apologized and told me not to tell our mom. I ended up keeping it a secret. Is it wrong to be slightly turned on from seeing the two of them having sex? I feel kind of ashamed. But I can't stop thinking about it. I've never had a girlfriend...

If you were in this situation would you move out and rent or stay at home until you could buy a home? You and your spouse and your baby are living at your parents house rent free. You both have enough money saved up to rent your own place now, however you ve been living at home (and your parents have been nice enough to let you stay) so that you can save up to buy a home. You are very grateful for this and both you and your spouse are looking forward to buying a home, however there is a problem. One of your parents is very emotionally and verbally abusive, and you are always walking on eggshells and not feeling good. There is always drama and negative energy and you never know when the abuse will come. You desperately want to move out and rent to get away from the abuse and live happily and peacefully, but rent is very expensive where you live and you know that it will be very difficult to continue saving to buy a house if you move out. You both know that it would make sense to buy a home instead of rent and see the benefits. You both have money saved up, but it s not enough for a down-payment to a home and if you stay at home you may have to stay there for a lot longer,which you are not happy about. What would you do? Would you move out right away and rent to get away from the abuse, or would you stay at home and endure it for as long as you need to until your family can buy a home of your own?

we have some relatives and it seems they are jealous of us, 2 families in particular and they like to show off infront of us. Both are pretty cheap in talking for example, my aunt makes petty remarks about us being wheatish(we are from india) and them and their kids being a lighter skin. How can such people be handled? I feel like if I confront them or say something it backfires and the conclusion is that I am disrespectful. If I keep quiet it seems ki they won and nobody can stand up to them. Please help.

Hello everyone. So basically i skipped school today because i had said to myself that i am going to kill myself. But i kept hesitating at every train passing by, so eventually my dad texted me for dinner in half an hour, so i went home. But my mentor noticed me not in his class (only teatcher who noticed it) so i said i skipped school on my school profile. I can't tell the truth to my parents what was the reason for skipping school.. i'm just too scared to tell it. What do i do? Plz help me...

I use soooo much less money than my big brother, i only use like 20 percent of what he uses in total. My parents are doing really well on the money side, but i still feel so guilty when i ask things from my parents. I'm 15 now, and i asked to go see a concert with my friend, it was 50 bucks and now i feel like ****... Even though my parents told me it's good im going out of the house with friends, and they encouraged me to do it but i still cant help but feel guilty for asking for that amount of money. Is this normal?

My friend has 4 older siblings. She's 13, and her older siblings are 15 (sister twins), brother 16 and brother 14. She's says that they constantly put her down, tease her constantly, amd pick on her constantly. Whenever she tries it have a conversation with them, they always say "Ok four eyes" or "sure thing fatty!". She says there been like this ever since they were young. I tell her that it's just sibling stuff and that she'll get accept them better as they get older, but she tells me she wants better advice. What should I tell her?

Okay well my mom took me to a depression doctor bc my Nana told her to and she seemed like she cared but then when the doctor gave her a list of therapists that I could talk to, she hasn't called a single one and it's literally been months so my Nana told me to tell my mom to give her the list so she could do it but that just made my mom really mad and I wasn't able to see my Nana for a while bc whenever my mom gets mad she doesn't allow any family to see me and that's why none of my family have been getting after her about this bc my mom will just take me away and I've asked my mom to make me appts plenty of times, but she hasn't. It wouldn't cost her anything, so what could possibly be my mom's reason for doing this??

I don't have any biological siblings, but I have a four years younger stepbrother. For all practical purposes it's like a younger brother. I hate being the only daughter. There are benefits to being an only child, but being an only daughter sucks. Everyone thinks that the "perfect" family means a boy and a girl child. My parents think it's "sad" and "unfortunate" when a family has two daughters instead of one of each. This frustrates me because I know that children get so much more out of a same sex sibling. I remember being an only child and miss it so much and often wish I was an only kid but I would have loved a sister. I don't have anyone to be sisters with or to sympathize with me over the hardships of being a girl. I feel like boys need a boy to be brothers with and feel sorry for boys with just sisters. Sometimes I think it's best to be an only child because kids need their parents' undivided attention but I hate the combination of "two kids, a boy and a girl." Why do people say it's sad and unfortunate for a family to have two daughters and no sons? I get it, I can't really influence the gender of my (future) kids. If I ever have kids, I want two have twin daughters, or at least two girls. I don't really like girls and I think I would be happier with a son, but I at least want my daughter to have a sister to share joy with. Life with my stepbrother has been nothing but hardship, misery and strife. Always lonely but never alone. Why do so many people think that two daughters is a BAD thing? Being the only daughter is so hard and I really feel bad for only sons. It frustrates and upsets me that so many people want their kids to have an opposite sex sibling. I have become very depressed about having a step brother and not sisters. My stepbrother is big (6 feet and 200 pounds) and has autism, so it's like a giant, violent four year old. I hate him so much and often feel depressed. Part of me wants for my (future) daughter to be an only child. I'm assuming it will be a girl (aren't most babies girls?). I have several risk factors for twins. First of all, I'm left handed so I'm naturally at high risk. Second, I'm not exactly "young" (34) and the risk increases with age. On top of that, twins run in our family and my mom's generation had several sets (several of her cousins were twins). It's hard to be a girl because of all the crap we go through that boys don't. We have to get a puberty, and it's torturous, and then we get pms, hormones and cravings. We get our hearts broken, we get cheated on, we get in unrequited love. Boys never go through any of that stuff, they have no idea. My stepbrother is a verbal bully... for example if I have pms cravings and eat a brownie, he calls me "fat" and an "ugly" pig and tells me to die. I wish I had a sister to understand me. I know grandma, but I feel like I really should have had a sister, or been an only kid. I know life sometimes hands you disappointments but I never got anything. I'm 34 now, and it's frustrating how all the males got born into OUR family but there are so few men out there for husbands. I never got a sister as a kid, or a dog. Now that I'm grown, I'm beginning to think I'll never get a husband. I just want something to work out for me.

I'm 22 years old and my parents (especially my dad), have been controlling of what I do my entire life. What I do, where I live, my job etc etc. He doesn't like any of my decisions unless it's one he's suggested. I've been on my own for the past 5 years and he's not as bad but still is controlling here and there. My boyfriend and I moved in together and I don't know how to tell him? My mom supports me and says that it's my life and my decisions as I'm an adult. I'm scared to tell my dad though because I know he's controlling and won't like it. Is my mom right? I am an adult and capable of making my own decisions. Should I just tell him and if he likes it then he does, if not then oh well?

I'm usually only off one or two days a week and I feel so guilty when I ignore texts and get an overwhelming feeling of wanting everyone to leave me alone. Don't ask me for anything, don't call or text me with BS. I really feel guilty today as my dad (whom I'm not really close to, but nonetheless is still my father), is having hip surgery. I know I should go to the hospital to see him, but thankfully my dad is laid back and doesn't really care either way. I did call him and talked his ear off with questions and letting him know that I do care and wished him the best. I do not like his wife, because she clearly doesn't like me for some reason (not her child). So if my dad is in surgery, I'd be stuck sitting there with her until he's done. I hate to have this kind of attitude because I never know when I will need someone. But thing is, I think I feel this way because I have often been there for others, especially if someone needed money. If I were rich, instead of lending my time and energy, I'd rather just lend the money and then be left alone. I don't want anyone to NEED me for anything and I don't want to NEED anyone for anything. But why do I feel so guilty when I don't want to do things that I feel will inconvenience me or when I simply don't want to be bothered? Am I being just flat out selfish?

im almost done with school and we are being rewarded with a school trip before our final year cause then we have alot of studying to do. I didnt get to go last year cause of money issues and yet my mum sometimes buys things worth the amount of trips right after the trip has happened and it makes me think like its on purpose. I asked my mum if i could go on the final school trip and she says its fine. i want to because ive never really been anywhere new for 2 years and my mom never leaves the house regulary. i feel like its the money all the time. she always refuses trips that are so cheap like 80 dollars and stuff. But she goes and buys herself clothes worth that amount and items. it hurts me because for two years i havent been anywhere and all my relative travel around the world and i just hear stories and can do nothing but be happy for them but i really want to go for this trip cause its near where i live and its the last time im ever going to be somewhere with my friends. but she wont allow cause she says im going to die and stuff. its anoying cause shes also making me chose from the trip i was looking forward to for almost a year to a trip that im being forced to go on by the school and its really cheap like 30 dollars but she wont allow cause she thinks ill die. Its just unfair. Im just asking her this once and shes refusing. It makes me feel bad because all my friends come to me after trips telling me how much fun they have had and i feel bad

My parents divorced a year ago and my father is a real bastard (even mum's lawyer said she had never seen someone like that) I don't want to see him but I still do (rearly though) bcs he keeps texting me and I feel pity. My 5 and 1/2 yrs older sister has mental sickness and she sometimes mentally abuses mum and me. My mum is hardworking and under stress and she has to spend more than her payment monthly. I go into hard highschool and in it I had a fight with 2 friends and they don't even want to apologise (they did sometihng wrong). I have only two friends left in class and I feel like I don't fit in my class..My school is hard and I jave to study a lot but I can't these days bcs I'm a little depressed.. I have 5 friends out of highshchool though and btw I'm a girl..

My 30 minute lunch break is same time, same place almost every day. It s convenient, so switching locations isn t an option. My mother-in-law takes the same lunch break. Usually I don t mind...she is nice. But I feel that it is MY lunchbreak, not OUR lunchbreak or HERs... meaning, I do what I want and I don t answer to anyone about it. I bring my phone or Kindle. I look online or play games while I eat. I still manage to be polite and talk with her. but she acts so put out about it like I m being rude to her. I don t apologize, mention it, or anything. I just do what I want to do. On days when I eat someplace else, I don t feel the need to let her know or to follow up and explain myself. I just do it. She acts upset about it for days and looks at me with hurt in her eyes. And, she s repetitive. Saying and asking the same things over and over. Basically, I feel as tho she tries (probably unconsciously) to control my lunch and quite frankly it ticks me off. How would you handle this?

Such sister , brother , mother , father .

I live with my dad in a city where I have the best friends I could ask for, while my mom lives a half an hour away. My dad and mom got divored while I was in the 4th grade and I lived with her until the 8th grade in a small hick town that i have absolutely no friends in, and was picked on a lot. I moved in with my dad in the 9th grade, but that spring my parents tried to date again. Needless to say it didn t end well. I have a 9 year old sister and a 5 year old half sister that both live with my mom. My full sister comes to dads every other weekend, but thats about it. Every time I attempt to spend time with my mom, my dad threatens to give up his rights for me and threatens to kick me out. I can not go back to live with my mom, but I can not go on living like this. My dad is the most stubborn person I know too- so talking won t solve much. I am a 16 year old, junior girl if that makes a differance.

My 2 year old daughter isn't allowed to visit in an open campus university. I read the policy book and it does not state that children are not allowed on campus. The rule is any one can visit until 12pm. Also I see other students like me with children on campus and my daughter was with me around 9pm and that was the time when I was told to escort her out premises and not ever bring her again or ill be fine. Is this discrimination? should I fight this?

Ok so my mom does this thing all the time where I ll say something and she completely overreacts. like she will tell me things like: "one day I won t be around to harass and I sure feel sorry for who you chose next!" Or "you know why I like hanging out with my sisters kids instead of you? Because they are nice to me!" I mean, yeah I m not always the best for you to be around but I m sixteen! I m going to be moody sometimes and have an attitude sometimes! So? I m not perfect. I m also adopted, and she holds that over my head like a loaded gun. When we re in a fight she will say things like: "when I adopted you I thought it would be totally different than this! I thought you would look up to me and love me but you don t!" But when I say things like that it s a huge deal and I m a horrible person for doing it. She even once told me that I wasn t a part of the family and that it was her family, not mine.

So my mom is angry with me now. It all started when I couldn't get to call for the past two days, because I'm in college and she's living with my dad and my other little brother at another country, our time zone changed. When I do try to call her she's not at the house whenever she does call me I'm already asleep. So one day, it was like one in the midnight, I was asleep because my class started at 7 in the morning till 6 in the evening. I woke up from the constant ringing of my phone and saw it was my mom, I answered and she started yelling at me that how come I never call anymore, and if I won't call her anymore then it's better to not call her anymore and she hangs up leaving me sad and guilty.

My family is really close with this other family. The household consists of 4 kids and a single mother just like my household. My mother has always kept our house clean and tidy. She always had a healthy meal every day. My mother is disabled and manages to provide for us four kids as we were growing up. The other family's house is a mess. There's gum stuck to the floor that's turned black from all the dirt that's been collected. The dishes go days upon days until they're finally cleaned up. The bathroom's are dirty, the bathtub is filled with hair and dirt at the bottom of the tub. Dinner is usually microwave dinners or processed foods. The two youngest seem to have learning disabilities and possibly autism yet only one is being tested. The mother herself lays on the couch watching tv and plays on her phone while the two youngest run around screaming and the two oldest fist fight over small things. I'm not comparing in a judgemental way, I stated my brief personal info to make a point that it's not necessarily impossible to stay on top of cleaning and be able to provide healthy food.

The other day I came home from a friends house and mom told me to go get washed up before dinner, not uncommon . I took a shower and warped a towel around and went to my room and , too the towel off of me and laid on my bed turned on tv and watched it . I was going to get some shorts on. I fell asleep, I woke up to my mom standing over me telling me it's supper time get up I heard her but didn't really wake up fully, the next thing I saw was mom leaving my room. I was so embarrassing , she saw all of me . I didn't want to go to super but I did, and mom acted all weird and stuff did my boy have a good nap? what can I say to her , should I say anything ,

My sister wants people to respect her stuff but doesn't respect my stuff. She is rude and inconsiderate, she lives at home with me and parents and my dad feel that only cares about her. I am blamed for anything, my dad will talk to her and do things with her. But he excludes me, and will only talk to me if i talk to him. And if he do talk to me, he doesn't talk to me like he talks to my sister. I appreciate what he do do for me. But he isn't there for me like i feel he should. My sister is an adult, it seems my dad only cares about her.

My daughter won't stop cussing. It's getting bad. I try everything. Her father and I are divorced, I'm thinking that's where she gets it. I don't cuss, and if I do it's rare and not around her. I've tried seriously everything! Help me!

My girlfriend is going out of town this coming weekend on an overnight trip with her family. She hasn't said much about it, other than the city and that she's going with her parents, grandparents, and sister's family. It's just for one night, and when I asked her what's the occasion or what they're doing she said she didn't know. Anyway, I just find it kind of strange cause usually she's more forthcoming with information. Also, when I press her on it she immediately changes the subject. If it's a family thing I know it's not much of my business to pry, but the city they're going to isn't much of a destination, and I just find her behavior around it odd. Any ideas?

Hi all, Let me start out by saying I'm an adult, living on my own with my husband, and my brother is 25 living on his own as well. Basically, I'm confused about my relationship with my grandmother. She's 79 y/o, I am 28. I've lived on my own with my (now) husband since we were 23. My brother is also on his own, but hasn't lived with any girlfriends or anything. My grandma has always seemed to favor my brother. I love him dearly, buy he's messed up a lot, bad grades growing up, got in trouble with the law once or twice, got kicked out of college for drugs, but they've always made excuses for him. I was the perfect student, never got in trouble, EVER. So my brother is putting himself through school, which, good for him, and my grandma is helping him pay and gave him a new car. I'm happy for him, because he deserves it and has really turned his life around, but when I go married, I didn't receive so much as a card. I even asked her to come dress shopping, and she declined. I'm her ONLY granddaughter! I think it may have something to do with the pre-marital living arrangement, but I want to say it's more than that. She never picks up my calls, and when we do talk, it's brief and she says she'll call me back, but never does. Whereas my brother says he talks with her more often it seems. What gives?? I can't talk to her about it. She's a 79 y/o Irish Catholic woman who is set in her ways. I know she won't change, but I just want to understand the situation better.

We just recently had a baby and been together for a year. She doesn't like me because I am half African American. She refuses to see her grandson because I am half African American. She had the nerve to call me and my son half chimp. I want my son to have a grandmother but the way she is going I don't know. My boyfriend Seth defends us but doesn't want to lose his mother (you only get one birth mother) Seth's grandparents are just as worse they completely cut off contact. The first time I ever met them they stared at me the whole time and toward the end of the dinner his grandmother asked me if I was "half ******" I got up and left. I mean Seth defends me and his son but I can't handle it anymore it hurts me that my son Jacksons family hates him. I would I even explain that to him. I don't know what to do !? I just don't want Jackson to be hurt by there negative comments. They're his blood...

I need a heartfelt description of what growing up with a man who gambled away everything we had? And my mother never left him. I've really been thinking about this a lot lately but I can't seem to put it to words. Anyone who grow up in similar situation to help me out? ..everything we had felt like*

My sister married my husband's brother. They have a child together. Me and my sister are super close, I would do anything for her. My husband's brother cheated on her and got another woman pregnant while he was still with my sister. Now it has caused me and my husband a hardship. I don't want to go around his family cause his brother and his new girlfriend is there and now they have a new baby. I don't hold anything against the baby since it is innocent in all this mess. I have been trying to go around my husband's family again, but I will not speak much at all to his brother or his new girlfriend, since both done my sister very dirty. But I have been trying for the sake of my own marriage. I was going with my husband and he notices I am not very happy when I do try to go. My husband is mad at me cause he says I should be over this and not letting it effect us. I am trying to go, but I'm not sure what my husband wants? How can I be friends with his brother and his new girlfriend? I feel as if my husband should respect my feelings. Help please?

l m 15 and my dad is over protective when it comes to me he doesn t let me go out alone or even go to my friends place and he wants to decide everything for me. he wants me to be a doctor and I don t want to he thinks that my ex boyfriend is the one who have been encouraging me to be something not as a big deal as a doctor but the truth is I don t want to be a doctor i want to be something that will make me happy not make him happy he still believes that my ex influenced me to act like this and change my ming so what should i do to make him let me decide by myself?

Despite there being more girls in the house it's my dad and brother who receive most of the love and attention from my step mum. There's my dad, step mum, brother and my two sisters and I much preferred it when it was just the five of us. I lost my mum a few years ago and it has been tough. My step mum is normally really nice but I feel she cares about my brother more than us girls. The fact I share a room with my brother makes it difficult because she's always telling me to be extra nice and close to him. We're like good friends - same with my sisters but it's a little awkward at times. My step mum always wants me to dress and behave like a real lady. I've spoken to my dad about this but he's too much in love to truly understand.

I'll be honest, I used to be a jerk to my little brother. I often teased him (and he cried he's so sensetive) I scared him, told him he was adopted, all the typical older brother stuff. I was still protective, but I made his life miserable in the typical older brother way. Now I'm 16 1/2 and my brother is now 13. He says how he wants me to apologize for "bullying" him. I tell him "the way I acted is how every older brother acts. Why should I apologize for being an older brother?" He still pesters me, but I think it's stupid. To you older siblings, especially older brothers who messed with their younger siblings, do you think that I should apologize? Mind you, he avoids me now a days, saying how the past hurts. I still mess with him today, and he said it brings back the memories. But I tell to stop being sensetive and that it's all kid stuff, but he just gets upset.

I just met my teenage cousin for the first time. Our fathers were estranged but now connected after 35 years. She is suppose to come visit me for winter break but I've recently decided to change the plans. Anytime I've ever mailed her something, gifts etc, she never says thank you, never get a response. I have to send her a million texts to ask if she got the package and she just says yes. I've been trying to have small talk with her but no response. She was really excited to come and asked to burping her bff which I said no, it's too much responsibility for me, I'm wondering if she's giving me attitude for that. I mentioned ideas of taking her camping while she's here, but I've decided she will just sit at my house and watch tv. Why should I bend over backwards if she is this unresponsive. Not fair to me. Am I wrong? Bring her bff""

Yes, by definition, it does matter.

I'm an older sister to my 13 year old little sister. I'm 3 years older so 16. I annoy her, and what sibling doesn't annoy their younger siblings? She gets upset, though, and sometimes cries. I just call her name a bunch of times, tease her about her weight and figure, make fun of her love for reading and stuff. I don't really feel bad because we're siblings. She's just sensetive. She tells me to stop, but I tell her to grow a back bone. So, is it okay since she's my sister?

So I'm 14 and my mom is a single mom, and a great mom at that. But something happened this morning and it really caught me by surprise, and I just don't know if this is typical or totally crazy, and I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone I know. I'm homeschooled and have been struggling in math. Mom has been on me about not spending extra time on my homework, and a couple of times of either not doign it or rushing through it. In a panic, I asked a friend to do my homework for me. Mom figured it out, called me on it, and I tried to deny it. Lying has always been her BIG rule. I knew I was in trouble, but she gave me a spanking....the first I've had in 4 or 5 years. She took me to my room, had me lean over the bed, and popped me about 10 times with a ping pong paddle over my undies really hard. Enough to hurt a LOT but not leave any marks. When I was little she rarely spanked, but it was, in fairness, the typical consequence for lying. But I'm 14. I haven't even been threatened in forever. Is this normal? Is it legal? Am I like the only girl my age?

I have this stepgrandmother. She has got to be the dumbest person I have ever met. And I know people with Down's syndrome. I am 17 so I obviously still live with my parents. She and my stepfather own a business together. She mainly works with the financial stuff since she is to fat to get off her ***. Being in charge of the financial matters, my stepfather thought it wise to put her in charge of our water and electricity bill (for our house) since he feels that neither him nor my mother would get the chance. For the past 7 months, she forgets to pay our bill and leaves us without water or electricity for a week (takes 4 days after the due date to pay and another 1-2 for the electricity company to switch it on). Then she goes ahead and blames the electricity company every time, Saying the fault must be with them. The funny thing is that her electricity at her house is never off. How do you not hate a person like that? Once would be understandable, but 7 times? My stepfather is a proud man and he won't admit that his mother is one stupid specimen, so every time we say something, he feels insulted. How do I deal with this, since my mother is way to polite to say or do anything? Thank you. Other examples of her stupidity is her dehydrating her house plant-a cactus, pooping NEXT TO the toilet(which I had to clean up) and trying to fix her car's engine with sellotape.

So my parents are divorced and and my dad has been with his girlfriend for 2 years and has a 1 year old daughter.She lived in Sweden with their daughter and my dad goes there once a year to visit.He always denied having any children or girlfriend or anything but then my mom found out somehow that he had a fiancee and child.Then he admitted and said sorry for not telling us earlier. I have always known he had Tinder and writing to women but I didn t know that he had a fiancee in Sweden at the timeWe are on vacation now and ve confronted him before and he said I m wrong but I know I m not.He has a bunch of women In his contact s And doesn t hide it.I could check his texts If I wanted but I m afraid of what I might find out. I have never met or talked to his fiancee before.II can t tell my mom about it because she will go way into this like how she found out about his fiancee and child and I also said we d keep these kind of things between us because it s none of my mom s buisness.What should I do?

Ok my parents are divorce. I live with my mom alone at home. While my stepmother live with my dad at his house. I also hardly know her since I don't visit my dad often. Anyway my stepmother call 2 weeks ago on my phone if she can see my mom because she wanted to meet her. But I didn't understand why because my dad was the one who supposed to introduce her to my mom.

Please take the time to read this I know there may not be proper punctuation or spacing but please read Where do I begin, I guess it all started when I was first diagnosed with mental issues I attacked basically everyone including family. I've regret my actions everyday, but I couldn't exactly help it I needed help. My actions led to me being hospitalized numerous times and they put me on medications that worsened me. This one medication made me gain weight and I've been gaining weight ever since. I'm becoming morbidly obese and I have no help or motivation to lose weight. My mom keeps telling me she can't help me I have to do it myself but I can't just do it on my own. I've been put in special private schools for kids worse than me for being kicked out of my normal schools. These schools were filled with black kids who were brutal they picked on me for being obese they made fun of me being crazy they talked behind my back and I always tried to fight them but ended up getting my *** beat. So because of them I've had the hardest time trusting people and opening up, so I've pretty much isolated myself from the world for years and my childhood sucked because I truly really had no friends and I just stayed within the confines of my house playing video games. My siblings made fun of me for years tormenting me making me feel awful like I'm the anguish and grief of my family and I'm an embarrassment and my sister even said my mom should of aborted me which is probably true. My siblings were also smarter than me do they'd outdmart me and they were witty and my parents were completely oblivious hell they're still oblivious always taking their word over mine. My parents dohbt I can even make it in life they are pretty sure I'll be living with them the rest of my life and I'm pretty sure too. I'm dumb I don't even know proper arithmetic I'm so far behind I don't know how to round I can't even do simple multiplication can't do math in my head can't do simple division I can't even do long division like no one really knows how dumb I am. I'm in the eleventh grade and I'm in secondary concepts of algebra which I'm struggling in and my school hasn't even taught me the correct math I need for the PSAT and the SAT which is why I'm going to fail. I have austism I can't look people in the eyes and I have a learning disability no one understands how hard it is for me to learn and obtain and keep information stored in my mind. I don't fit in because my mentality about stuff is child like teens around my age operate on a completely different level they are just so complex compared to me. I don't even know these days what conversations between kids my age consist of like they are so like they get life and they are all philosophical and its just hard for me to explain. They talk about music artists I've never even heard of along with a long list of other things I'm a different person now I'm not who I used to be I'm still socially awkward and I have very very low self confidence and I don't have friends and I'm still pretty dumb and I feel I'm going to fail out of high school I won't ever make it to college heck I won't even have a family of my own cause I'm so stupid I could never provide for them and give them a good life.

I'm 16 years old, and is the older brother of my younger brother. I bully him daily, calling him names, making fun of his grades, take things from him, eat his food, etc. As the older brother, it's practically my job and right. He hates it, but I think it's fun. My mom yelled at me today though, saying that I'm too mean on him. I'm his older brother for crying out loud! I feel like she should let me act the way I am. It's not like he'll become depressed or something. Older siblings always bully, so what's the problem?

I'm a 15 year old guy. Me and my other siblings, 14 boy and 16 girl, often pick on and bully our younger sister who is 12. She gets upset whenever we poke fun at her (call her names, poke fun at her liking anime and music, poke her arms, annoy her, etc) and she gets angry. She thinks we hate her, but we love her. It's just fun to bully her. My friends say that all older sibling bully younger ones and that it's normal. They say "you guys will laugh about it in adult hood". So, is it okay that we bully her? As an older sibling, I see it as a necessity to bully her. For those who say, don't bully her, tell me why? Also, if you are also an older sibling yourself, tell me why don't you bully your younger siblings?

I'm almost 16 year old male. When I was at the age of 9, my sister recently checked my internet history and saw that I was watching pornography and she told it to my parents. They punished me by taking my PC away for 1 month. When I was at the age of 11, my parents prohibited me to eat chips. They allowed me to eat them again only when I was 12,5 years old. They've never allowed me to swim in the lake or river without them. Once they found out that I was swimming with my friends and punished me by beating me up. They allowed me to go swimming without them only when I was at the age of 14,5. When I was at the age of 12-14, I asked my mom what she thinks about masturbation and she told that only bad boys masturbate who get bad grades and have nothing else to do than jerking off. My parents have never allowed me to have a sleepover and still don't allow me it. At Christmas, my parents always put presents under out home Christmas fir and claim that "Santa Claus" did it. I've told them that I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore and I don't need any presents but they don't listen to me and still give me them on my birthdays and Christmas. Their presents just annoy me. How can I stop them from treating me like a little kid?

My mum has always being hypocritical and arragant but she has always hasd this attitude that when I say she is being unfair that the rules of parenting are just 'engraved' so to speak that that is 'just how it is'. She says "life is unfair" buuuut it's not life; it's her. I can't really say anything because not only will it not get me anywhere because of her arragance but she says that it is rude to 'talk back to her' but that's another thing She will say something very inaccurate and then not let me say anything after that. Anyway And basically she says that her step dad was like this But it's a pink elephant in the room because it's obvious that how her step dad was back then is how she is now to her own children. Long story short...I'm lost, uncomftable and I feel somewhat helpless because of how my mum acts and the attitude she has with it. I may sound nieve and this may be considered a rant, but it's not, I just need help How should I go about this? Thanks

i wanna say my big sister and i are best friends and are very close but this is my secret and i want to know if i am wrong/pervert or even normal okay i am a 15 year old male and my sister is 17 and in collage meaning she doesn't have school uniform and the last few months i have started to use my Sister's pair of T-Bar school shoes because i have a foot fetish and she hasn't used the shoes in about 10 months to fap my d*** by simulating a Foot job or sniffing the shoes, and sometimes even worship the shoe by sniffing and licking the top area where the toes are, and there have been a few times were she has needed the shoes and tbh i got aroused because the shoe's smell would of gotten the smell of my sister's feet. the last few weeks i have been dreaming about her wearing the shoes and waking up fantasizing about her feet and being turned on and i wake up with wood and turned on by the dream... the part were i think is quite messed up is the other night i dreamed about her in the shoes again and i went on her facebook and there are pictures that her school friends took of her and her in her shoes was in the shot and i have shamefully masturbated over the picture.. i really need advice to over come this

My mom adds to my low self esteem. When I feel ugly or something mean is said to me, I will tell her, and she will sarcastically make jokes about me. When I confront her, she says I'm "too sensitive" and she shouldn't have to "sugarcoat it" with me. This baffles me because complete strangers and family members will give me compliments and then she will hop on the bandwagon and say she says nice things to me all the time. Lately, she has gotten better about complimenting me, but it just feels weird. I guess I'm use to it. Why does she act like this?

It's been tradition since i was a little kid that he'd come into my room before he leaves for work and give me a quick peck on the lips. I don't think there will ever be an age when i feel like i am too old to receive them, but i think he's getting sick. I can hear the coughing sometimes, i see him drink tea and orange juice, eat soup yada yada ya. He won't admit it, he doesn't dress for the Michigan cold. He would leave out right after a shower in just a hoodie and a hat. Chances are he is sick, so how can i nicely dodge his kisses cause i am quickest to catch colds??

I have a foot fetish and my older step sister has really gorgeous feet. I have smelled them before and licked them before and they smell and taste amazing. I love massaging them but she is always afraid of our parents or brothers seeing me. She knows I have a foot fetish and won't let me worship her feet. Whenever we watch tv together she always makes sure she covers them up and says no when I offer and foot massage. How do I convince her to let me worship them? Also, somebody else is always home and even late at night she won't let me because she thinks someone is awake.

Okay, basically I am a Male, almost 16, straight A student and I was born into an incredibly strict and religious family. I think I honestly do very well for myself and I love my family, but I do alot of things that they consider very sinful and bad. I've had sex, smoke marijuana every now and then and go to alot of parties. They have no idea about it. They are quite overprotective and often ask who I am hanging out with and they always demand contacts from my friends parents and stuff like that, I don't know how I have kept all my secrets and habits a secret this long but, I'm almost fed up with the secrets. I am constantly having anxiety attacks about my parents finding out about my second life they have no idea about. I know if they found my weed stash they would send me to boarding school. I need advice, I feel like I can't keep this charade going on much longer. They think I'm a perfect innocent kid, and it makes me feel so guilty becuase they have no idea what is happening. Help?

I m not perfect sometimes I think my kids would be better off without me. I grew up with an abusive dad I was a bad kid growing up I was rarely in school because my dad either wanted me to work around the house or make him money. I'm had my first daughter when I was 15 and ran away from home. I'm ashamed to say it but I'm trash. I hustled people for money I sold my body and I did other terrible things to support my daughter. When I got desperate I even sweet talked a guy into marrying him and I work as a Dominatrix behind his back because I'm addicted to BDSM it gives me a high. So does sex I hate myself because I have degraded myself over and over sometimes because I thought I didn't have a choice other times because I just wanted to. I'm a whore and I hate myself for it. My lowest point though is that my family recently have been having trouble and I went to my dad for help. I hated it and he made me a deal I work at his club (a strip club) and he'd help I took the deal and it helped my family even though no one knows. I just feel like my dad's right that I'm worthless and my body is my only really tool. I feel I shouldn't even be a mother because I'm a liar and a slut.

Does this guy look gay? he's my gf co worker and she claims he's gay but idk i say 50-50 he is. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/Brian0311/IMG_0292_zpsgskkdws4.png

My mom and I got in a verbal fight. So I told her something that got her angry. And that wasn't my intent. Than she flipped out and I disrespected her. I called her names and criticized her. She's very very stressed. She goes to work at 5 am and gets back around 6 pm. She told me I'm not appreciative and I was crying the entire time because I felt so bad. Than she started crying. She told me that I think she's a crappy mom and she's not doing a good job because I don't show love or appreciation at it and it made me cry even more. I appreciate and love her more than anything and anyone in the world. I would take a bullet for her. I feel guilty and depressed for causing her to cry. It wasn't my intent. She has 4 kids including me. My dad is cheating on her and she knows it. It affected her really bad. She hadn't expressed any emotions about it. I just feel really really bad. She does everything for me and for my family. She is the one who pays for everything. It's affecting my life. I can't sleep or eat or be around anybody because it made me fee so hurt. What she said broke me. I never felt so bad and so shitty. I've been crying all day because I feel so bad. I love her more than anything in the world. It hurt me so bad when I saw her cry. It completely broke me. I can't explain how much I love her and how bad I feel. Please tell me what to do. Don't give me **** or tell me I'm a bad son or anything. I'm not so well mentally. It's hard for me to express my feelings to her

Found out I have other siblings and I believe I found them on Facebook. I'm going to write them a letter. I have an address, but I don't know what to say or how to start. My parents don't know I know and they can't know that I am contacting her.
