Family: Question: Any petite moms have trouble with their teens?

Question: Any petite moms have trouble with their teens?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 12:52 PM PST

I'm a small woman. 4'10 100 lbs. 43 years old. Two kids. A daughter who is 16 and a son who is 10. My daughter surpassed me in size a long time ago. Her father was large. My daughter is a whole foot taller at 5'10 and weighs about 150. Ive always been stern with her. Ive shown I'm the mom and in charge. She wanted to go out last weekend. I told her that her grades are slipping and when I feel she did enough school work she can go. She mouths off and tells me that's not fair. She than goes I'm going and you can't stop me. I walk to the door to block it. For the first time in my daughters life, she comes up to me and tells me to move. I felt intimidated by her tone. I moved and let her go. It's eating me alive now. I'm her mom and I let her intimidate me. It's easy to talk about but at the time her tone was so serious and it really seemed she was gonna but her hands on me and being a lot stronger than me, I was scared shitless. Has this ever happens to other moms?

Question: ----HELP ME PLEASE----?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 12:49 PM PST

She got me a stupid, ugly, red fleece jacket today. I'm her only son so she thinks that whatever she gives me I should be thankful for because I don't have to "Share my parents" with anyone. I am really pissed right now. It looks terrible, it's too light for the season, and she got herself like a million things but all i got was that STUPID JACKET!!! My dad gave my older sister the Ferrari when she was 16 and HE gives me a shitty ford mustang!! The worst part is its a 2015!! I need a 2016!! I hate my life so bad.. what do I do? I hope hristmas isnt going to be this shitty..!!!

Question: I missed one day at school and now I'm being treated like a failure?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 12:39 PM PST

Honestly, I do tend to miss quite a few days out of school, but I always catch up on my work. Well, now, my family is acting like I've flunked out of school or something and telling my little sibling not to be like me. I get good grades. I have never had below a C for a marking period and never below a B for a final grade. I have problems with anxiety and it's in school when I'm most anxious. I've had multiple doctors tell me I have anxiety problems, yet when it comes to this, my family just writes it off as I'm being lazy. I can't even try to talk to them about it because they never listen. It's actually really hurting me and I have no idea what to do. Suggestions?

Question: What is my moms issue???

Question: What do I do regarding education?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 11:54 AM PST

I'm 17, and I feel like my life is a mess right now. Over the last two years I've become an orphan (dad died then my mum within a year of each other). I've had to live with my aunt, and she's old (64), and officially disabled due to her ankles. She's a dick, quite honestly. I decided to live with her because it allowed me to stay at my school. Now doing alevels, I've been kicked off my physics course, and I have to take law, English and PE. They're bad subjects, and can't get me anywhere, and my GCES's were bad due to bereavement, so I can't easily change subjects. I'm good at English and Law, and I'm a smart guy, I just hate physics and am not in an environment to do it. I got fed up the other day and said I was leaving, and I have no idea what to do... If I leave I'll try do better alevels somewhere, I have offers where I can go to. If I could do history, geography, English and law, and live somewhere better, but have to take a year out, would it be worth it? I have £100000 inheritance and I'm quite an ambitious guy, I just need to sort myself out... Do I leave now and work until September??

Question: What do i do? How should I feel? What do I tell her? Please help!?

My dog mystique died. I know that dogs die all the time and people grieve then get over it and life moves on. A year ago my moms dog Axel died. He was old and his hips were bad so mom had him put down. The dog saved my life when I was a baby and was my brother. He understood me and always wanted to please you. We buried him outside the fence and the coyotes never bothered his grave. Well my sister AKA Mystique was ran over I did not know what to do. I am left at home alot and she kept me company and now i am lonley. Well even though my dog mystique was buried outside the fence she was not left to rest in peace. When my mom and sister sara went to see my step dad in texas and my sister amber and me went to see my grandma she was dug up. My uncle came over and wraped her in a blanket and buried her in the back yard so she isnt distwurbed again. I rember the smell the feelings the fear the hurt the love the longing the everything. to make it worse my little sister amber keeps asking where she is and what happend to mystique and wants to know when she is coming back i am gospel so i tried to teach her that she is in heaven but she just wants to see her so what to I do about my sister? What do I do about myself?

Question: Has this happened to you and what is this called?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 10:58 AM PST

So yesterday I was walking home from work, my work is 45 minutes from my house by walking. I always walk home and listen to music. It usually takes me 30-45 minutes to get home. But yesterday, I really cant explain what happened, I got home in a few minutes. I swear I was only walking for like 3 minutes at most, I know this because I sent a text to my sister as soon as I got out of work to tell her I was on my way home and to leave the keys in the backyard since she was leaving. and when I pressed sent and look up I was 1 block away from my house. That cant be possible it took me literally 2 minutes to send the text. Like I said it is a good 30 or 40 minute walk to my house. but I got home In less than 5 minutes, how??? am I crazy or something??? I didn't even tell my parents I don't want them to think I am crazy

Question: Why does my mother hate me?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 10:36 AM PST

My mom had me when she was young. My bio dad was 19 and she was 15. I think she only dated him because my aunt ( moms big sis) said she couldn't. my mom is the kind of person where if shes told she can she will prove you wrong. they broke up the day i was born. She told him to leave and that i wasn't his so he did. she then met the man who raised me and had my brother and sister. she never told me the man who raised me was not my father until i was 21 thats two years ago. any way. my childhood was horrible. dad was an unemployed drunk and left when i was 7. mom started dating a guy who molested me and my sister. we never said anything because we did not want to get her mad. i didn't know about my sister being molested until she was 17 band i was 22. my mom ended up leaving wiht that guy when i was 8 and came backinto your lives when i was 13. still dating that guy. she eventually left him. she speaks to me very bad and treats me very different from my brother and sister. they see it. i just dont know why or what i did to have her not love me.

Question: Should I be mad at my husband for doing this?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 10:29 AM PST

I usually stand by our front door and my husband gives me a kiss as he leaves for work. This morning my mom was standing there with me as my husband was going to work. He gave me a kiss and mom said laughingly "My turn next" so my husband gave her a kiss on the cheek also. I was slightly embarrassed, Mom was surprised and though it was the funniest thing ever. Should I be mad at Mom, my husband, both of them or nobody? Wives, please give me your opinion.

Question: How can I tell my mom to stop without hurting her feelings or making her mad?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 10:12 AM PST

I'm 13 and the youngest of 3 girls. My mom is in another state working on her internship so its just me and one of my sisters living at home (my other one is in college). Whenever my mom comes back to visit the "energy" in the house goes from happy/nice/positive, to sad/negative. I'm not sure if its anyone else at home or if its just me. I always feel happier when she isn't home. She stresses me out a lot, because she treats me like I'm still 6 years old. I don't want to tell her this though because I love her and I dont want to hurt her. I also have ADHD and I am on medications for it. But last time she was here she brought freaking books on how to control my ADHD, and anger, and my anxiety. I'm fine with the anxiety book because my anxiety is really severe. But I know how to control my anger and the majority of the time my ADHD too. I now have a problem (with my anxiety) that I believe my mom contributed to. When I'm hanging out with my friends I always worry about whether or not I'm annoying them or I'm being too "crazy". I think my mom contributes to this because whenever I'm with friends and shes around, we'll all be laughing and she will motion tome to "calm down", when all I'm doing is laughing with my friends. Then once we leave she starts talking about how I will start to annoy people and then they won't like me. I have tried to tell her this but she won't listen, or she'll say I'm being dramatic, or that I'm lying.

Question: Will everything be okay?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 10:00 AM PST

I'm a 19 year old college student and my mother and I are not agreeing on any of my decisions what so ever! I'm a huge family girl but this is really affecting me! She says I'm making the wrong decisions for my life, but I disagree! I'm pretty much on my own with everything now! Will we ever restore our relationship? I really miss her love but she's so angry with me! She won't listen to my point of view about anything! I want to live for my mom but at the same time.. go and live my own life and make my own decisions! What should I do?

Question: Is this weird? (please read)?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:54 AM PST

Now that im older, I look back at when I was a child and how my mom you punish me for doing something. When I did something wrong she would make me drink vinegar. She also would pinch me super hard, sometimes I would even bleed from it. And every time I told my dad he would ask my mom and she would say I was lying and that I did it to myself to get attention. Anyone else see something wrong with that?

Question: So how many of you parents kept a coal in their kid's Christmas stockings to punish your child for bad behavior??

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:46 AM PST

To remind them that Santa is watching and he doesnt tolerate bad behavior....

Question: Got drunk & kissed my brother. How to deal with embarrassment?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:30 AM PST

We go to bars together all the time. I was extremely drunk and kised him. He pushed me away and told me to stop acting like a sl-t. That sobered me up a lot, but I stayed at the bar with him. After a while longer I got a taxi home and he got his taxi home. This was Saturday and we haven't spoke since which isn't unusual. What do I do now? I'm worried people could have witnessed it because we both had friends with us but I don't know where they were when it happened. I know my brother was nowhere near as drunk as me

Question: What's the point of living now?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:27 AM PST

Question: Family will not talk to me because of boyfriend?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:24 AM PST

I'm 29 and my boyfriend is 32. We have been together for 7 months now. Two months ago he chocked me, I was very emotional and ran to my family. I told them what happened and they saw the bruises. I was in a previous relationship for 7 years that was very abusive so when they found out he did that they were very upset. I decided to stay with him and I wold my family that. I've always bee very close to my family. My mother is like my best friend. No one will talk to me because I am staying with him...my mom even said "i'm dead to her" "that im a horrible person, a bad bad person" I understand that I may not be making the best choice but I cannot understand how your entire family will not speak to someone....im mad at them now. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Question: I need some life guidance can someone please help me? Do I leave it all behind and move or try to make the best of this?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 09:15 AM PST

I've been living in the same town growing up for like 20 years. We moved here for my Dad's work from a Northern State. I just kind of ended up staying here and never leaving, as I have friends and my family here. Well my friends all seem to move on, or have done me wrong along the way, and now I have basically no friends. I have a girlfriend here of 2 years, but she is stuck here because of her divorce and 3 kids, until they turn 18, which is 8 more years. I don't fit in around here. Most people around here seem redneck, overweight, and they all rip other people off. Granted, there are exceptions of course, but that is the norm. Even a friend from another town notices that. I'm all about healthy, organic, vegan, natural remedies, etc. and everyone here is about living unhealthy. Also heroin seems to be an epidemic around here. All the rentals are overpriced dumps, I don't understand how people value such poor properties. And there is NO JOBS EVER, unless I want to work at a dollar store. I have a college degree. I see everywhere else there is better rentals at a better price, jobs, people who are like me, and seems like a better lifestyle overall. What do I do! I don't want to leave my girlfriend behind, but then again i am conflicted because I don't want her to hold me back either.

Question: Mom doesn't want my half sister anymore?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 08:58 AM PST

My parents had a very bad marriage but my mom never wanted a divorce. We found out my dad had fathered a 4 year old with another woman after her mom had died. My dad did a DNA test and moved her in with us. But he died recently. My half sister is still with us currently, but my mom has said she'll be putting her in care ASAP because she doesn't want her in her house anymore. I'm not sure how to deal with all this in such a short space of time. I'm 16 and life has never been great, but I feel bad and don't really have anyone to talk to. Help! My only family are on my moms side. Dad had no one.

Question: I feel like I'm the only one who has had sex with their sibling? What's wrong with me?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 08:45 AM PST

When I was younger (elementary school) I was exposed to porn and sex (much too early) because my dad is addicted and he had magazines and toys in his room. I found all that stuff and became curious. This was all before I had even learned what sex was. Me and my brother who is four years younger than me had sex and it has haunted me every since. I hoped that he would be too young to remember but that was over a decade ago now and he brought it up one night when I came home drunk from a graduation party in the summer. I panicked, surprised that he remembered and that he'd bring it up and told him nothing happened and he was crazy (remember I was drunk and not thinking straight) he walked away and let it go. I've went to the counselor and they told me I need to talk to him about it because it could cause negative thoughts. I swear I'm the only one in this situation and it really makes me feel absolutely sick. And I feel helpless. What the f*** do I do. I'm an 18 year old girl and my brother is 14

Question: Why is it wrong that I don't want a relationship with my half sister?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 08:43 AM PST

My dad left my mom and me on my 13th birthday. He literally walked out on the day and didn't contact me for years. I'm now 19 and my mom called a couple of weeks ago to say my dad had called, wanting to talk to me and she told him she'd have to ask me before giving him my contact details. I told her to pass them on because I didn't want anyone thinking she hadn't told me or was trying to stop me from contacting him. He called a day or so after I spoke to my mom. He told me he's married again and has a baby daughter who was almost 9 weeks old at the time. There was no apology or anything. He said he wanted me to be in my half sisters life because she deserves to know me... I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. I was talking to a colleague of mine and the whole thing came up. She was horrified that I didn't want a relationship with my half sister and said I was totally wrong and should be ashamed of myself. It's made me regret bringing it up at all. I get that some people think family is everything. But she's only my half sister and our shared parent will never be part of my life again, so I don't see why I would make the effort.

Question: Staying the night?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 08:36 AM PST

My mom is really emotionally abusive and I just don't feel as safe at home tonight. My mom is saying that she'd call the cops if I left for the night and called the cops. She's threatening to take my phone, my car keys, etc. That honestly sucks because I need those things for work but since I'm under eighteen idk what to do. I don't want to go to CPS but I feel unsafe.

Question: Denigration of family relations?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 07:47 AM PST

Question: Is it okay for my mom and dad to call me names?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 07:38 AM PST

i grew up with my dad calling me fat, ugly, dumbass, etc. my dad called me a **** once & also one time i asked my mom to buy cucumbers for me to eat and my dad said "you getting lonely?" referring to masturbation. and my mom is always calling me a ***** or a puss. the word that offends me the most is when she calls me a puss because shes insulting me using a word that refers to my body parts. and shes just so mean to me, but shes always telling me and my family that im disrespectful but i am just as rude back to them as my parents are to me. but they dont see it like that, they think i should be respectful no matterhow they treat me. but im not going to be respectful to people that treat me like **** on a regular basis. its just not fair.why cant i have a loving kind family? not people who are disgustly offensive. im 17 btw. do you think its okay to talk to your kids like this? sorry the words that were bleeped out were in this order- t w a t, b i t c h, s h i t

Question: Is this abuse?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 07:35 AM PST

Throughout the course of my adolescence, my stepfather would regularly yell and scream at me, calling me belittling things, making fun of my weight, my make up, the mess in my room, anything he could think of. It's very loud and he screams until his voice is like a stereo on the highest volume, and he says he doesn't care if we cry because we (my sister and I) deserve it (over stupid things too) But my main concern is my mother. She's constantly overreacting, she throws and breaks my things (like my phone because a song she finds annoying came on) when shes angry at me, and threatens to hit me. this morning for example, I needed to brush my hair with her brush because I couldn't find mine and she thought I was taking it to school so she started yelling at me. She ripped it from my hands and threw it upstairs then screamed at me while blocking the stairs. Then, she said if I don't get in the car she'd carry me out by my hair, and on my way out the door she took my shoulders and shoved me forward. And then we were on the way to my school, I had yelled some things like "f**k you" after she shoved me and yelled at me for wanting to brush my hair for 2 seconds. And she said that if I was to go get help it would be a nice vacation and "happy holidays to your foster family" and told me that if I ever yelled at her again she'd right hook my face (punch me, basically.) Then she made fun of my make up for running cause I was crying. Is this abuse or am I overreacting?

Question: Why did my dad tell me that intercourse was anal sex?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 07:16 AM PST

When I was 7 years old I was the car with my dad and a radio ad about sex was on the radio. I asked my dad what sex was and he told me that it was when I man put his penis inside a women's bum (anus). For years I thought that that was what intercourse was because that's what my dad had told me. Why would a dad do this to his son?

Question: I'm 18 and my mom won't let me move out?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 07:16 AM PST

Every attempt I tried to make before I turned 18 to move with my dad my mom shot down even when my dad would come get she threatened to call the police on him . Now that I'm 18 I got to community collegeThe plan was to go for two semesters then go to a university but my mom is getting on my nerves she calls me out of my name she called me ***** she tells me get the **** out of her car and I just can't do it no more but when I try to move in with my grandma to finish up my mess she called me ***** she tells me get the **** out of her car and I just can't do it no more but when I try to move in with my grandma to finish off my last semester she called my grandmother and basically threatened her so now I can't live with her either because my grandmother idoesnt want to deal with the drama what can I do

Question: I need advice.how do I stop regretting that I have let my grandmother treat me like that?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 06:59 AM PST

I have the worst grandmother ever.I did so much for her which I regret a lot.Everyday I ask myself why did I do all of this for that idiot!sorry for the language but I need to express myself.I have done so much for her and I did not deserve the way she treats me.She hates girls and made me feel worthless.She always has to criticise me whenever she sees me.Worst is she wants to ruin my relationship with my closed ones.how do I stop regretting everything I did for her and for allowing her to treat me like dirt?i cant tell my mom about it because when I did she told me ''you are trouble''.I cant tell my dad because he would hate my mom's mother and my mother is also bad with me.

Question: Help:Tablet Buying advice for aSenior Citizens?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 06:33 AM PST

My 80 year old mom always wanted a tablet. So, my brothers and sisters and I would like to get her one for Christmas. She wants one that she can take with her when she goes to the doctor to play games and movies while she is waiting. She will need one with a large screen so it's easy to see and loud enough to hear.

Question: My friend keeps misleading me, should I just stop being his friend?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 06:23 AM PST

I got into selling essential oils on the side for fun since I use them all the time and to make a little extra money. My friend is a regular buyer, however it comes with strings attached. For example, she will text me in the morning telling me she wants to meet in the afternoon to get some orders. When the time comes around she always makes up some excuse and changes plans. I can understand once or twice, but now it's like every other time. The last time she had me drive 30 mins all the way to her Mom's house claiming she was going to put in a big order. I brought my stock all the way there, only to find no one was answering the door. I texted my friend and he said she went to the store which is 2 mins away really quick. 45 mins I waited, then I just left, and my friend said, "it's ok she was right behind you and I will just order from somewhere else from her, but I still want to order from you." She told me to meet at her house at 7:30, which then was changed to 8. Then last min. she came up with an excuse of why she couldn't buy it. I'm so frustrated!!! Even though she is a "good" customer as in she buys a lot of oils, I don't think it's worth her bsing me all the time yet. Her

Question: Do you think it's right for a daughter to remain friends with her father's ex-girlfriend?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 06:09 AM PST

I have removed my father's ex-girlfriend from my facebook page, and so has my father. My sister has kept her on her facebook page & talks to her all the time. I feel my father's ex is just using my sister to get back with my Dad, and for someone to cry to. I don't think it's right #1 for his ex to do this to my vulnerable sister. I feel sorry for my sister that she can't see really whats happening. I think it's a disgrace to involve a parent's child in something like this.

Question: Help . Any advice ?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 05:57 AM PST

Is it just the grief ? So myself and the bf have been together for two years. He's always told me I'm part of his family and stuff. Recently his grandfather died and he's unintentionally making me feel like an outside who's in the way . Plus he doesn't want me to go to the funeral/burial. I'll respect his wishes but it makes me feel like ****, family would be at the funeral. I should be there even If it's just at the church door with nobody realising I'm there . But I should be there . I don't know how to deal with it. I want to be there for him and be able support him but it feels like he wants to just to be alone with his actual family . I understand that but I feel terrible not being able to do anything or ever to be able hug him. (His family don't care much for physical contact between us ) I don't know what to do other than give him the space he seems to be yelling for . But how will I cope ? How else can I help him ?

Question: My little brother is very rude to me?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 05:50 AM PST

He calls me a b*tch and glares at me when I'm passing by. He also never listens to what I'm saying. Are all little brothers like this or is mine especially rude? I act angry in front of him but I cry when I'm alone and I want to kill myself. Right now he's throwing stuff at my door.

Question: Mom addicted to going out to eat or other places on school nights?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 05:20 AM PST

My mom was never married, adopted me. She hardly ever cooks and if she does, she insists we come over and eat. We have our own house (a mile away), own lives. Last night, my youngest had a birthday party and she kept him during the day for a party we had. She did not make him nap and he went ballistic. I was ready to go home at 7 because my oldest has school today. She demanded I call my husband and tell him we are going out to eat, I had to drive her across town and of course, our toddler misbehaved (screamed, kicked) at the restaurant because of no nap. She has no boundaries or respect for the fact that our kids have a schedule. When we try to tell her no- she blames us for her going hungry and and gives us a nasty guilt trip unless we go with her. She even demanded we go shopping with her, which I sternly declined. Sometimes, the kids dont get in bed until 10 or 11 because she wants to run the streets on our gas. What is her problem?

Question: Should I call off from Work?

Question: How to get out of calling someone I don't want to call?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 03:05 AM PST

Okay so my parents are spilt up and my mom lives in Texas and I live in Chicago and so she calls me every two weeks and my dad makes me talk to her and if I don't he yells at me. But here's the thing, my mother just screams at me on the phone shes so horrible to talk to but I have to talk to her or else my dad will yell at me for not talking to her. It's not court ordered that I have to talk to her it's just both my parents like to try and make me miserable. I use to say my phone was over heating so I didn't have to talk to her but now my dad has caught onto that and he won't believe me so I need a new idea as to how to make it seem like I can't talk to my mom. So any ideas of how to get me out of having to talk to my mom?

Question: Why would her father give me money to break his and her relationship?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 03:01 AM PST

Doesn't he want his daughter to be happy? Girlfriend and boyfriend relationship, I'm stuck on thinking what is moral in this situation. Should I break them up?

Question: How do I get my nephew to leave me alone?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 01:37 AM PST

My 6-year-old nephew made high school living hell for me. My mother always forces me to play Minecraft and other stupid games with him whenever he comes over to our house even if I'm behind on my schoolwork or trying to study/take a test. One time he even tried to make mom establish a rule where I couldn't do schoolwork and other important duties whenever he's around! Basically when I get into his field of vision, he becomes addicted to me and never wants to leave me alone. If I don't play with him, he'll tell mom and she'll force me by using excuses. I had to go to summer school every year because of this. I tried to tell my little sister to play with him, but she refuses. My mom complains about how I don't spend enough time with him. Infact, there have been days were I played Minecraft with him from the time he got up to the time he went to bed. I tried setting a timer, but he kept on making me extend it. If you give him the inch, he takes the mile. It's like I'm his drug! Call me an a##hole all you want, but he makes my life difficult and sience I'm a 19-year-old man who's going to college pretty soon, he can't be doing this to me. I hate him!

Question: My mother is addicted to meth?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 01:05 AM PST

My mother had me when she was 15. She's 33 now. I'm far away from her now but I fear my little brothers. They don't live with her but she is active in their lives at times. They are 13 and 8 years old. I know she's done it in the past to. She first started using not to long after I was born which is why they gave my grandmother custody of me but she quit for a long time not to long after she started. Last year she started using again. She works in North Dakota and doesn't use there to our knowledge, but they only higher them at certain intervals, and when she gets laid off, she goes back to oklahoma (my family's hometown), she gets right back on it as soon as she can. It has destroyed a large part of her life and she was so blessed with a gorgeous skin complexion, but you can see in pics that the very first signs of decay are already showing. It makes me want to cry cause I have a decent relationship with her now but how can I make her stop doing it?

Question: I fell guilty for planning to leave home? :\?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 12:52 AM PST

Okay so first of all please ignore any past questions I used to come on here with friends and make up crazy scenarios which I know what was wrong but I don't do that anymore.... anyways here's the thing my parents split when I was probably 7 so me and my younger brother and sister lived with my grandmother & my father our whole lifes but I'm going to be 18 soon and my mother lives two states over from us, is married and has three young kids ages 1, 2, and 3.. my mother and step father want me to move out there for a awhile and live with them, and help take care of the kids because they both work alot and well a lot of stuff happen in the past and my mother was never a part of my life and she feels terrible about it and i guess wants to make up the past almost 18 years of my life also they're getting a new house and they told me if I go back there they'd give me first pick of the rooms, pay for it to be decorated, pay for me to watch the kids and buy me a new car... I do really want to go but I feel bad because I've always been here, and I have always worried like crazy about my siblings like I was their mother or something.. But then again I want to go and have my own life. My house hold now is very religious and they're all into it well all but me and my moms house hold is the exact opposite I just idk I guess I'll feel bad if I leave because my grandmother has been like a mom to me my whole life but.... someone please tell me what to do...

Question: Should my teen have her own room when she s in college?

Posted: 07 Dec 2015 12:29 AM PST

My daughter is a senior in highschool and told me that she feels like when she turns 18 she shouldn t have to share a room with her younger sisters anymore, she said that she will be in college and that if she doesn t have her own room when she goes to college she is going to move with her dad. Because at her dads she will have her own room. Her younger sisters will be 15 and 13 when she turns 18, what s your opinion on this ?

Question: Why do people get touchy feely when you put 'gains' on?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 11:22 PM PST

I work out a lot and have gotten some 'gains' so to speck. I notice that some girls will try touch my arms/chest/abs now. I get that friends of mine might do that, but the thing is even my sisters would do that to me to feel that i've gotten more muscly. Is it normal for sisters to act that way even if its just out of curiousity, would you do that to your brother??

Question: Are my parents bad people for not caring about their family? (It's a long post, but please read. I really need help.)?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 11:10 PM PST

So, I have a little sister who has down Syndrome. Last year, her high school friend graduated and now she has fallen into a depressive state. Just recently, my parents took her to a doctor after several months of dealing with her angry and agitated self. They diagnosed her with dementia. Now that I know what she has, I've been monitoring her and seeing her get worse everyday. She used to smile and laugh at everything. Now she has an eating disorder, high cholesterol, and is probably very close to getting diabetes. She also fights whenever we try to make her do simple tasks like take her to shower or go use the restroom. Now, to the reason why I feel that my parents are bad people. After they found out about my sister's problem, they have since refused to accept treatment from doctors because it's "too expensive", yet they still have enough money to pay for my college without any loans.(btw, my college tuition is around $20000 a year). They've also refused to listen to anything I say to get her treatment because they still regard me as a child. I just can't take it anymore. I can't take looking at my sister regress day by day only to not be able to do anything. I'm already regarded as the "hated one", which caused me to be depressed and even suicidal most of my life. I had just begun to recover in the last year, and now that my sister has dementia, I wonder if my parents even care about this family. Or if they're waiting for us to kill ourselves.

Question: My sister wants to fight me?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 10:57 PM PST

I am younger than my sister by a year , she wanted to fight me today .She slapped me then pushed me , i backed up and went "i am not doing this with you!" Did i want to? Hell yes,but i knew my outcome would just be worse. I hated fighting because it solves nothing but every past fight i was in with my sister i kicked her ***. i stopped because i love her.What do i do? Because everytime i think about her hitting me i just get raged up.I have to go to a councelor to manage my anger because if i dont i do crazy real crazy stuff

Question: Urgent issue. In dire need of advice/solution. Head of household suicidal and the only one that can provide income. No money left. $800/week?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 10:51 PM PST

Tonight my mom woke me up because she didn t know what to do. My father had locked himself in the bathroom with our gun. We had to talk him down ourselves, and did so successfully. We couldn t call for help because he is the sole provider of income. He can t get himself to go to work anymore. He has suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. We have no money left. We have no family we can ask for money. We have no religious organization we can ask for help. My mom is going to college to become a nurse entirely on financial aid. She won t graduate until spring of 2018. There are 5 people in our household. Me, my brother and sister and my parents. I ve been told it takes us $800 a week to get by. What can we do, we don t see any options that can get us through the next 3 years. We could get a loan, or a mortgage, but that wouldn t get us through this. The money wouldn t last long enough for my dad to get better or to get on disability. My mom can t get a job that will be able to support us. I nor either of my siblings can work. What do we do? I ve likely left out information. I m so frazzled right now, I could barely think of a way to ask for advice. Calling law enforcement won't help my family. We call law enforcement. My dad goes somewhere for in-patient care under involuntary admittance. Won't get out for a while. Family will still be in trouble. Therapy and meds didn't help him in the past. He's just pushed through it for 20~ years. He's out of energy and can't push through anymore.

Question: How do I deal with my son and daughter?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 10:50 PM PST

My son is 20 and my daughter just turned 18. Like any couple me and my husband argue and they over react. Last week we were arguing and my daughter came from her room upstairs and told us to shut up because she had to study for a test. We were not bothering her at all, how can she not study? She just wants to complain. My son the other day was worse. It was before my husband had to leave for work at around 3am. We had gotten into an argument during the hour he was getting ready to leave because he was being stubborn about taking extra money in case he couldn't get a transfer on his Metro card. Our son came down stairs and yelled at us "I have to get up for work in an hour! You guys already kept me up arguing until 3 in the morning yesterday!" like he was the owner of this house. First, both him and his father were off from work the other day so what does it matter that we were arguing for? How about I take both of their things and toss them in the trash? Maybe that will fix their attitudes. They've been like this since kids. Oh we have homework, a test, school, work or whatever and your arguing for hours is interrupting that. And then they get mad at us and tell us to leave them alone when we try to talk with them. Nothing except them is stopping them from studying or working. Every couple argues. They need to get rid of that self important nonsense and grow up, I've tried locking them out when they pull this nonsense but it doesn't work.

Question: Advice for my friend in Pennsylvania?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 10:05 PM PST

Prepare for reading, I'm looking for advice for my friend. He has Asperger's Syndrome, just recently turned 18 and graduated high school. He lives in a small town, miles away from towns where he can get jobs. He doesn't have a way of contacting any friends from high school that could help him even if he wanted to. He's being emotionally abused by his step-mother (father won't do anything). He can't do anything to appease her. He lives in a small town where he is incapable of getting a job, and his parents won't drive him anywhere to get a job, a license, he can't even go to college because his parents won't take him to it. He's been wanting to get therapy but they won't take him. I can't take him in because I live in California, I wish I could help him though. There's nothing the police can do about the emotional abuse now, given that he is 18. Does anyone have suggestions as to what he could do to get out of there and get a life of his own? I have no ideas.

Question: Attractions to little girls?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 09:21 PM PST

Dont say see a doctor! I will never come out to another person and tell them that I can watch a 8 year old girl wearing skimpy outfits and have sexual fantasy about them. I just don't have an age limit and it makes me feel sick. I hate watching friends little girls alone and they sit on my lap send I get turned on. I will never touch one of give them any hint. I will not ruin a kids innocence. But I do have sexual fantasy about that little 12 year old blond headed girl wear skimpy gymnastic outfit doing leg splits down are street. I need help.
