Family: Question: I'm super shy and as a result nobody likes me?

Question: I'm super shy and as a result nobody likes me?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:32 PM PST

Whenever I get together with my family (there's a lot of that during Christmas time) I feel so shy. We usually hang out with my family along with my cousins and their family. I am the youngest out of all my siblings and cousins. Basically the youngest out of my whole family. I've always been the baby in the family and growing up I always felt like my thoughts, feelings, and opinions were always discounted because I was the youngest and I didn't know anything. And even though I'm 20 I still feel like my older siblings and cousins look down on me in this way. Whenever I do speak up to say something, nobody hears it, I get interrupted, and sometimes people who were just engaged in the conversation will get up and walk out of the room as soon as I open my mouth, as if my opinions just don't mean jack sh*t to anybody. I'm never included in any of the fun things they get to do because I'm "younger" and by default not cool enough to be involved. They treat me like I'm 5 years old even though they don't know a single thing about me or what I've accomplished in my life. As a result I've just gotten into the habit of simply not talking when any get-togethers with family should arise. Not only that, but I keep my life private from the rest of my family. I am not friends with them on facebook and I do not discuss any of my friends that I hang out with on a regular basis. So basically I've become this complete stranger to them and they all think I'm some kind of derangedweirdo.thoughts?

Question: I'm 23 and my parents won't let me travel with my boyfriend?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:30 PM PST

My boyfriend and I have been considering a weekend trip to New York City early next year. We've scouted out flights and hotels within our budget, and tonight, we told my parents of our plans. However, my parents shot the idea down immediately, saying that I can t go because of "a personal reservation." Though they didn't spell it out directly, I know that they mean intercourse. While I can understand that they re looking out for my best interests, I can't help but feel angered by their dismissive response. For one, I'm 23 years old, I'm in graduate school, and I maintain a part-time job on the side as an income. I have never once done drugs, gotten drunk, smoked, or had sex -- and they know this. Likewise, the same attributes can be applied to my boyfriend. We aren't looking at this trip as an opportunity to get away from parental supervision; we simply want to travel together. What I'm asking is this: are my parents able to decide whether I can travel or not, even though I m an adult?

Question: How do I deal with my parents constant fighting?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:29 PM PST

My parents constantly fight. My dad acts like my mom is always the bad guy and he strawmans all of her arguments and acts like she is always against him. I hear all of their arguments of course, and he always called her names and picks apart her insecurities and yells but the second my mom raises he'd voice, he freaks out and acts like he has done nothing wrong. Its gotten to the point where my mother, my sister and myself have to tip toe around him because if we say something wrong he will just jump at us. They're actually fighting as I type this. He literally just said "I've done nothing wrong" after my mom called him out for calling her a ***** even though he flips out whenever she cusses around my sister and myself. My sister is almost 18 and I am 16. This has been going on for months and I'm just tired of it.

Question: Will the dfs tell my sister I called them?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:24 PM PST

I just turned my sister into dfs because she is a horrible mother. I did it anonymously but I'm scared that my mom will find out that I'm the one who called. Will they tell my sister I'm the one that called? I kept saying my mom this and my mom that. I'm just worried they will tell on me.

Question: How can i explain my "weird" fetish to my parents ?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:18 PM PST

Well, i'm afraid because i don't know how my parents (to be especific, my dad) will react to my fetish: I'm macrophile (i don't know if macrophilia is normal in U.S.A. , but here in Brazil no one (except my friends) know).

Question: How to get my mother to stop being overprotective/treating me like I'm younger than my actual age/controlling? (Very Long)?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:16 PM PST

Here is my situation: I am 19 years old. I just started modeling and lately have been getting a lot of jobs. The first one I got was in the next state over (states are small where I live). I am very independent, I have my own car, and I travel around all the time, but not this far away. We got into an argument and she ended up driving me herself. I later heard her talking to a family member saying (about me) "she never could have done it. She NEVER could have done it if I hadn't driven her". This made me really angry and frustrated, because I try very hard to be responsible and act like an adult. She didn't listen to me when I explained that this is something that I wanted to do on my own. I am also very good at reading directions so I am confident that I would have been able to make it there myself. I want her to see me as a grown, mature woman, but it seems like there is a cement wall around her head and I just can't get through to her. I still live at home, I m going to school, I have 2 jobs as well as modeling, I take care of the house, clean, do the dishes, take very good care of my health, etc. I always tell her where I am, I don't do drugs, don't smoke, and I don't sleep around. I think either I am doing something wrong that I am not realizing, or she is having a hard time letting go of me, (as in she is having a hard time dealing with the fact that I don't need her as much anymore. Thoughts?

Question: Sister (13) is abnormally scared of ghosts/supernatural?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 01:04 PM PST

My parents are out for work for a good part of the morning, going into the afternoon. My sister and I are in independent study programs and don t attend traditional schools. Because of this, we often find ourselves alone in the house for long periods of time. My sister is incredibly scared of ghosts and the supernatural. I can t use the restroom without leaving the door wide open with her standing in the doorway, and I can t close any doors for that matter... I can t go downstairs without informing her so she can follow me until I return upstairs, and many times I have to go downstairs to get things for her or throw things away for her because she s too scared to do it herself. We have a bunkbed but she doesn t use the top bunk and sleeps with me on the bottom which is particularly annoying. She may also sleep with my parents at night. Sometimes she will wake me up very early in the morning because she is scared. She also thinks that it s funny I find it so annoying. I really don t want to deal with it anymore. Is this normal for girls at this age? Please help, comments are appreciated

Question: Can a step parent be obliged to pay child support?

Can a single mother have full authority to make you pay child support? Or is it your choice?

Question: I’ve never addressed my stepdad’s siblings as aunt and uncle. Should I start doing so?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:29 PM PST

When my biological father died when I was a baby, my mom remarried when I was about 5. When she married my stepdad, his siblings never really liked her at first. As a result, my mom never brought me up to address them as aunt and uncle. I always just called them by their first names. Over the years, they actually have become very friendly with us and started to accept us as family. Anyways, now I'm 30 years old and I wish I could change the way I address them because I think it's disrespectful not to address them as Uncle _ and Aunt _. But it just feels so awkward and weird to suddenly do that since I've never addressed them that way before. I started living on my own this year and I'm giving my own Christmas cards as opposed to my parents sending a common card from all of us when I used to live with them. I think it's very rude and disrespectful to not address them as Aunt and Uncle on the card. But again, at the same time, it feels so awkward to suddenly write Aunt and Uncle for the first time. So, should I start calling them Aunt and Uncle, especially on their Christmas cards? If so, how can I go about doing this without it feeling so awkward?

Question: How to deal with rude relatives during the holidays?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:25 PM PST

My entire extended family gets together during the holidays and to be honest I don't like a lot of them. They're racist, spoiled, and self-absorbed. We've had arguments before that left a bad feeling in the air as well. How should I deal with this this holiday season? Just try to avoid them as much as possible? See if they want to make amends? Be rude back when they're rude to me? Just chill out on my own and laugh at all of them being awkward with each other? Ideas welcome, thanks. Lmao @ Nike... Ok that sounds like a good start haha

Question: My grandma is rude and bullies my mom, should I say something or just let them manage their own relationship?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:21 PM PST

My mom is helping my granddad out because he has health problems but still my grandma always finds something to criticize or yell at my mom about even though my mom takes great care of him. Sometimes my grandma even yells at her in public. My mom is a very quiet person and doesn't like to stand up for herself. I'm tired of seeing my grandma bully my mom like this so I want to say something but at the same time I don't really want to get involved in their relationship either. What should I do? What would you do? Mircat - good suggestion; I feel like a lot of people forget that when dealing with older people. That said, my grandma has been like this her entire life. My mom just avoided her as much as possible before but now that my grandpa is sick we have to be around my grandma more often. I'm in my early 20s.

Question: How can I make my mom forgive me?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:07 PM PST

My mom tells me she puts the christmas presents in her closet. I looked threw the closet and I didn't clean up my tracks so she found out.... I lied to her about looking threw the closet and then I cracked and told her. She was really mad and upset and kept calling me and my sisters brats. I feel sooooooo guilty. She came into my bedroom a couple minutes after and asks, "Do you ever feel guilty?" I don't want to sound like a suck up so I'm silent. But I really want to tell her that I feel horrible and that I hate myself for doing that, but she will think that apologizing only for the stupid presents. What should I say so that she will somewhat forgive me?

Question: Ever since I the third grade, my mom has always put me down about my appearance.?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 12:07 PM PST

I have never remembered a day where she hasn t said something to make my self esteem even lower. It s always something, my hair, my clothes, my weight, my shoes, my makeup, my jewelry. I ve never felt beautiful in my own skin. All though others have always said I was very pretty and I have had boys who say the same. Im almost afraid to walk out of my room every day after getting ready because Im afraid of what she will say. Is my mom jealous? She just can t stop. It s something all the time. I ve asked her about it, asked her to stop, doNE everything I can. My self esteem is so low, never been lower. I can t take it anymore. I don t know what to do. Please, I feel helpless

Question: Dealing with sometimes abusive dad?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 11:59 AM PST

Okay so I live with my parents who are Eastern European immigrants. They provide very well for us and we live a pretty comfortable life, so we go on vacations and get the clothes and technology that we want. The problem is that my dad is a jerk. He needs to be in control all the time and when he's not he freaks out. Everything will be going great and then something will happen and he will become angry for a couple of weeks. Last time he was angry was because he thought everybody in my house lied to him. He punched my mom slapped me kicked us to the ground. I did something really stupid a couple weeks ago that would get any 16 year old in trouble but I'm really scared of what my dad might do. I can't tell anybody because they will have to report my dad and he will lose his job and his and my him won't be able to provide for us. I've tried convincing my mom to get a divorce but she's a very strict Catholic and says she won't do it for religious reasons and also for the fact that she would have no money if she divorced my dad. How do I deal with him during the times that he is angry? He blows up only a couple of times a year so I don't want to do anything drastic I just need to know how to deal with him when he does?

Question: How Should I Act When I Open My Christmas Present?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 11:36 AM PST

I need help. I m a 13 year old girl and I m EXTREMELY shy and awkward. I know what my present is and that makes it worse, I won t know how to react when I open it. I really need some tips on how to express my feelings (I never express my feelings while opening my presents because I m shy and awkward) but yeah.

Question: How can you tell if your mother is lying to you?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 11:01 AM PST

She says she can't come over for Christmas because she might get a urinary tract infection. Really?

Question: Should I confront my relative or leave things alone?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 10:10 AM PST

Me and my cousin live together at college. We also lived together before when we were babies to age 5. His mother literally moved into our apartment and I got mad. I called her out on how she was being lazy and running from her responsibilities to my grandma while leaving my mother to take her responsibility. Our families take turns taking care of our grandmother. Anyways, that came out but I later apologized as in that was none of my business. His mother left. He told me that my mom did nothing when we were kids. He was trying to say that his mother did all the household work, which is not true. I told him our mothers did equal work, he then said the same offensive thing back. How would he even know what happened when he was 5. he is brainwashed by his mother who talks crap about everyone. I let things go, and later I realized he never apologized to me. I was going to confront him. He told me I was doing nothing around our apartment, and I said I do do stuff. It was our other roommate who was not doing things. I told him he has a bad habbit of saying people do nothing and that he never apologizes. he apologized to me. I was going to mention what he said about my mother but I was like I will do that later. Now I realize I don't want to mention it because I don't want drama. Do you think he got the point when I told him he has a bad habbit of doing this and never apologizes or should I tell him to apologize to me directly for what he said about my mother? I never said I knew what happened when I was 5, but I'm not going to assume things. I said they both get the credit. I am basing off of what my mom and aunt do now. I know from experience my aunt like to talk a lot of crap, obviously my mom did work. My mom took care of me which is why I am healthy

Question: My brother?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 10:07 AM PST

My brother was sent overseas to study for about a year. He was brought back because he was suddenly diagnosed with a mental illness( schizophrenia or bipolar disorder). The doctors said that it was induced by cannabis. He is 21 right now and is going to turn 22 next month. All my cousins and friends who are 21 already have jobs and are doing well. My brother on the hand is really lazy, doesn't have a job, hangs out with his friends for the whole day smoking pot. He will come back at night, eat some food and go to bed. That's the cycle, it happens very day. He also doesn't shower often and the room stinks. That's sucks because I'm sharing the same room. Why is he being so irresponsible? If I was his age, I'd be working my *** off! Unfortunately, I'm only 15. My parents often talk to him about his life and to change his attitude but I don't think it seems I be working. It pisses me of.

Question: Scared of mom she hurt me please help? :'(((?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 10:03 AM PST

Its currently 10:56 on a school day Wednesday December 23rd and I want help. I'm 12 years old and I just made this yahoo sign in. It was 7:53 in the morning and school starts at 8:15. I was getting dressed and then I passed out on my bedroom's rug. My mom came into the room yelling that I need to get dressed and get out of her house. Then I ran to the closet saying "I'm sorry I was tired!" and then when I was in the doorway of my bedroom I turned around and she said "I don't want your damn excuses" and she hit me across the face, and I cried even harder. Then I tried to push her off me, but she grabbed all my body and hurt me and pushed me to the ground and I tried to get up but she pushed me and we struggled and it hurt. :'( and then my sister came behind the door and my mom pushed me down again and I shouted in fear "Call 9-1-1" over and over but she kept screaming and crying and then I grabbed my mom's neck to pull myself up but I hurt her and she hit me again and pushed me down, and then took my sister to school and she screamed the whole way. I fell asleep on the ground and all my bones are hurting, standing up and sitting down are hard. My mom got home and said that she wants me in my room and she told me to not close the door. Its been about 2 hours since and she's in her bedroom working. I don't know what to do, please help, I'm scared. I don't want her to hurt me and I want to go to school and see my friends and I don't want to make her sad. I feel scared. :'((

Question: Family issues?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 09:53 AM PST

I'm 15 years old. My family has not been doing too good recently, my mum is struggling to pay her bills. My dad lost his job. My grandmother is really sick. My eldest brother was sent overseas to study and he has come back now because he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia or some other mental issue due to cannabis ( that's what the doctor's said). Sometimes I feel like I'm bad luck to my family because only ever since I was born, my family has been facing problems. Like the year I was born, my dad lost his left eye. And then he lost a whole lot of money in his business. Before I was born, they were doing really well. My dad had a BMW and had to sell it. I really feel like helping them, but I can't do much at this age. I always dream of getting rich but it seems impossible. My grades at school sucks *** too. This isn't really a question, I just needed to express myself because all this has been lingering in my head and troubling me recently.

Question: Is this forgiveness or being passive aggressive?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 09:01 AM PST

I swore at someone. The kid was 16 and making fun of me at a funeral. I asked her who said this. She said: I dont have to tell you f--king sh--. I said: "Tell me who the f--k said that" She cried "mommy she said fu--" to me. I have been austractrized by the family. They say "we forgive you for what you did." However, you can tell this is out of bitterness. The kid is now 25. She told me this year. I forgive you for what you did. I just 16 and having fun. This thing sounds passive aggressive. Its like they dont like me and still blame this on me. Does it sound like it?

Question: Why won't my mom stay out of my bedroom??

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 08:57 AM PST

She just comes in all the time and starts picking things up and cleaning. She knocks first but its still annoying, especially when she dumps one of the babies on my bed while she picks stuff up.

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 08:47 AM PST

i went out of town with my family and neighbors (excluding my dad) and he is extremely mad especially at my mom. he has been sleeping in another room and wont answer my mom when she says something and after a while he answers in a screaming, and aggresive tone and tells her to stop talking to him. this has happened many times before, and it takes a very long time to get him back to normal and talk again. i cry everyday because im afraid that physical abuse will happen, or they will even divorce after 25+ years of marriage. i can tell he absolutely hates my mom but she doesnt feel the same. im too scared to talk to my dad about it, is there any chance that they will have a divorce? : (

Question: How to avoid smelling like smoke with MIL smoking in the house?

I m afraid they re going to charge us the cleaning fee when we return it because it s in our hair, our clothes, everywhere.

Question: Why won't my mum believe me?? Please help, I'm really scared??

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 08:28 AM PST

I just told my mum that my younger brother once molested me because we share a room. She completely lost her mind! She made up excuses like "he was just waking you up" and insisted that her son isn't a "nasty boy" and that he would apparently never do something like that. I swore to her on my life that it happened, but to no avail. I made her swear she wouldn't tell anyone but I have a feeling she'll confront my dad or my brother about it. As far as she thinks, I am done talking to her about this. Please, please tell me what to do? She seems to be behaving normally now, but I really don't think that she understands this is the reason why I self harmed for a year, or how much this traumatises me. I brought it up by saying I don't like sleeping in my room anymore. Also, it is to my understanding that she likes my brother more than me. Perhaps this is why she won't believe me?

Question: My cousin might get my mom thrown in jail. I don't want that to happen. What do I do?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 08:27 AM PST

My cousin just came from Florida and his mother made my mother his legal guardian while he is here. He then got into a problem at school from smoking weed and when my mom tried to discuss it with him he lashed out and left the house. We know where he is, he is staying with a close friend and today my mother gets a call saying that he hasn't gone to school for a long time and that she could end up in jail. The problem he wants nothing to do with us and he does not want to go back to school. Also he is not 18 so I know he doesn't get to decide. But my mom might get thrown into jail just because my stubborn cousin doesn't want to return to school and it's something we can do nothing about. My cousin is a low life drug user and alcoholic at 17, there is no reasoning with him. I love my mom so much I don't want to lose her and have her end up in jail for some dumb kid who isn't even hers. What do we do? How can we fix this situation?

Question: I feel very discouraged about my situation....especially around the holidays?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:49 AM PST

I graduated college in May 2012 with a bachelors degree in communication & journalism.. I worked in higher education at a college & was told I need to go to for my masters degree if I wanted any type of advancement in my career. I finally went for my masters. I completed my masters in student affairs/higher education in May 2015. After that, my mom became very very ill. I decided to move back home for a bit to help her. I took a job as a "testing center proctor" part time with the promise of a full time position once one opened up. I've been here since August 2015. I work 10-20 hours a week plus a 2nd part time job to get by. Starting in the new year all of the part timers are being dropped to 4-8 hours per week. I've spoken with my boss on multiple occasions about learning other areas of my department. His response "you need to do better as a proctor" I'm not sure WHAT exactly he wants me to do. I sit at a computer, I wipe down desks when students leave, I walk around the room and make sure the students aren't cheating. I've asked him how I can do better and his response "just do better" It's very frustrating to me. Apparently, I'm not the only employee who's frustrated and all the other part timers have heard the same exact line from our boss. The job is VERY simple and he's making it way more complicated then it is. I'm discouraged at this point. I want to be close to my mother who's ill but I'm not doing anything with my degree. ADVICE?

Question: My mom is always mad at me, and she doesn't think I have feelings?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:34 AM PST

My dad has had cancer since 2013, and since then my mom has been really depressed and angry. I knew she would be upset, but I was not aware that she would be taking her anger out on me. I have been really upset too, and she still has not gotten the fact that I have feelings too. I seriously feel like a punching bag when I'm with her. I try to do everything that I can for her, and even when I try she shows no appreciation. I try to talk things out with her but she ether ends up screaming her brains out at me, or she tells me to get the f*** out. As a person like me, I hate getting yelled at. One day I'll be in my room eating cereal, and and my mom will come in and start yelling at me and she'll call me every name in the book. And she wonders why I'm always upset? The way shes acting, I find it totally ridiculous and she's getting herself worked up for no reason, besides the fact that my dad is dying. My questions are, how can I get my mom to stop yelling at me?

Question: How do I make my parents stop being mad at me?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:32 AM PST

So, I'm naturally an anti-social kind of person and my parents still haven't found that out. The only thing that I'm doing is spending most of my time doing things I would normally do, which is reading or scrolling through instagram or something. My mother, who is practically my polar opposite, wants me to play video games with my younger sister (she's a year younger), but I don't really want to. Cue the long talk about how im supposed to be a better sister (even though I'm not mean to my sister or anything) and why I always perfer to be alone. By this time, I've shut up and am not bothering to answer any of her ridiculous questions. Why won't they understand that I truly don't like being around other people for a long time? How can I make them understand? And just FYI, my parents are from Puerto Rico. Yes. Latin parents. IT makes the whole situations worse. MY "punishment" for not spending time with people is cleaning the ENTIRE house while everyone else is having a good time, Please help!

Question: Why didn't Chelsea Clinton mention who the father of her unborn child is?

Perhaps she has not had a test done yet to determine who that man is.

Question: I don't want to work?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:25 AM PST

I've never worked in my life and my parents never asked me to. I'll be going to college next fall. Now, my parents are telling me that I need to get a job and pay for my college. But all my friends' parents are going to pay for their college tuition, so why me? My friends' parents will pay for their kids' tuition but my parents won't pay for mine. What do I do?

Question: Transgendered sibling abuses parents?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 07:08 AM PST

My sister is transgendered, mentally ill, and abusive. I have gone away to college for a year and a half so I am away and safe from her but both of my parents and my two cats have to live with her everyday. She is emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. Everyday she goes on a rampage and breaks things. The state of the house is absolutely terrible. She has already gone to jail but she was discriminated against because she identifies as transgender. My mom refuses to press charges on her or send her to a mental hospital. My sister refuses therapy. I am honestly worried that things will escalate and that I will no longer have a family anymore. At the very least I would like to help my cats, but the university I am at does not allow pets. Soon, like within the next year, I should be moving off-campus though and I will see if I could move my cats out with me. My dad is elderly, sickly, and a stroke patient. For the last month he hasn't been eating a lot and has lost a lot of weight. I don't know what I should do. The counselor I work with at school says that there is nothing that I can do about it, it is up to my mother to make the decision. But I can't help but feel guilty. Is there anything I can do? Also, why is it so hard to get some admitted to a mental institution? The therapist she was recently seeing (before she stopped like she always does) says she would have to continue therapy in order for her to admit her. Why is it so hard now?

Question: Do you think there hope in us having another movie night? Do you think he liked it?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:52 AM PST

Long story short. lost my vision freshman year in injury & went blind for 1 year needed 3 surgeries! got vision back before sophomore year. (I'm visually impaired) .. I met a freshman johnny in my class. He's very mature & sweet. he volunteered to help walk me to class (couldn't see well). We started talking/texting, saying how beautiful I am & how my impairment didn't faze him, I liked him so much, we both did.. He took me to homecoming, we started to get very close. He told me he never went out with one. Neither have I with a guy. He came Over for a movie night, he held my hand.. It was so special we both wanted to have another! he lived it so much.. 2 weeks later (the week his sister passed 3 yrs ago) he just stopped walking me, he wouldn't talk to me.. I don't even know why, he never told me anything. I know I didn't do anything wrong..our moms always hung out in the summer so I'd always see him & he's say hi, give hugs..it's junior year & he's a sophomore. We see each other in the hall ways, he always comes to hug me & we talk.. Today I gave him a candy cane & a note thanking him for the movie night we had, how it meant a lot to me & how maybe we can have another someday.. (Momo died so I want loved ones to know they're special to me) when I gave it to him his face lit up with happiness & he gave me a big hug & told me he loved it so much.. I've never seen him so happy, it was honestly magical.. What do you think he thought of it? do you think there is hope?

Question: How to deal with annoying dad?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:33 AM PST

He's always criticizing me about my physical education although I'm really thin and athletic. I do really bad in P.E because I suffer from breathing problems and I feel like fainting if I overdo sports. How can I get him to stop annoying me? I would like to do better but surely I don't want to faint >_< and I don't want to feel sick either. It's true I don't do sports as much as I used to do but I can't do my full performance because of my breathing problems and fainting.. ): How can I get him to understand that?

Question: What to do now?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:27 AM PST

I've finally decided to tell my mother about how I was molested by my younger brother because we share the same room. However, whenever I approach her and try to tell her I need to speak to her, she ignores me or insists she is too busy to listen. What should I do now?

Question: My parents are always working and it's Christmas?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:24 AM PST

I'm 15 and both my parents have full time jobs. To make it worse, they both work like 20 miles away from the house. I have been sick all week, maybe two weeks. I just had exams, and I have gotten no Christmas gifts. My parents are never there to take me. Tomorrow is freaking Christmas eve and it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. I live in a big, busy city and all the malls are packed. I called my cousin yesterday and asked her to take me shopping. There was a ton of drama because my little sister couldn't stay home so she kept calling my dad. He got super pissed because my sister made him come homr early, but then my dad was even angrier at me. I only got 2 presents, and I need to buy more today... my parents are so angry and I just want it to feel like Christmas. Them being gone all the time has created so much anxiety for me. I'm always scared that they won't come home or they are in a car accident. I'm tired of living like this... they have such busy "high paying" jobs but they are really bad at managing money. We could be putting our money to much better use, but we struggle finicially sometimes, and whenever I make a suggestion about money my parents get so angry. Please help me, I don't want to stay home alone again I want to be out enjoying Christmas

Question: My family is a bunch of sissies now I have to step up and tell all the people who have been taking advantage of us for years to back off?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:10 AM PST

Who should I be pissed off at? My family for being sissies or the jerks who took advantage of them? By taking advantage I mean leeching and stealing money.

Question: How to find privacy at home?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 06:04 AM PST

I am a 16 year old boy living with my mom, my sister and my grandma. I take privacy pretty seriously, it's just the way I am. But, our house isn't the most fitting for that. My room connects the living room to the upstairs part of the house, tbh, the landlord told us that it wasn't meant to be a bedroom, but we were struggling with space so…. My sister and mom have to go through my room in order to go upstairs. I kind of don't mind that, it's just that they do it at the wrong times. They bust through my room when I'm sleeping, when I'm changing clothes, and to make things worse, my sister always leaves the door to the upstairs wide open, and it lets in a draft during the winter, and it drives me up the freaking wall. I can't talk to my love interest on the phone without my sister poking her head and dancing around my room. I made my own signs that tell them to knock. I want to find other places in the house to chill and not be disturbed, but my mom gets suspicious that I'm up to no good. Now that you know all this, what should I do to get more privacy in my house.

Question: Ladies big mature question?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 05:36 AM PST

We dated for a year. We never slept together since she claimed to be a virgin. We broke up due to her leaving to a university miles away. We still kept it friendly and only talked on social media. I will see pics of her partying and flirting with dudes/dancing. I even saw pics of her own roommates with hickeys and i heard one of her roommates had an abortion. She ended up moving back home a year later which is today and is staying home for sure. She's now 21 and i'm 23. I was dying to ask if she dated anyone and she said "nonthing serious". I asked how far she got in the dates? and she wouldn't answer it. Instead she speed walked and covered her ears and started singing just to ignore my question. My question is what does it mean when a girl does this? my theory is either she lost her vcard or is playing mind games in which she loves to play/has played before.

Question: If you saw your spouse repeatedly blatantly favoring one child over the other (and they wouldn't stop no matter what), how would you respond?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 05:35 AM PST

Would you continue to treat both children equally or would you start to favor the one that your spouse does not, just to be "fair"?

Question: Can't afford any presents for Christmas for family this year. I feel so utterly depressed and worthless. What should I do?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 05:19 AM PST

I just turned 21 recently, served in the army for a few months got a medical discharge due to failing a vision test. Applied at multiple places for work and I have been out of work since my final days in the army in April. I have no money right now to get my sister anything and the shitty part about that is her birthday is the 26th. Also I ant afford anything for my father who had been working 12 hour days as a trailer mechanic all year. Although he just bought himself a ps4 the other day and he's enjoying the new sat wars game. Anyway sorry for the ramble. I miss my brothers in arms and I hope you all have a better Christmas than me. I don't mean to be so down but I get very depressed Close to suicicde when I'm depressed.

Question: My younger brother keeps stealing my clothes, what should I do?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 04:43 AM PST

I have kind of a tomboyish style and my brother usually takes my clothes. Even though he wears a uniform to school he takes my gloves, sneakers, sweaters, even socks. We share a room so locking my room won't help.

Question: Doesn't it sound unfair that I have to babysit three bad kids on my 2 weeks off with no pay?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 04:27 AM PST

After i spent two weeks studying my àss off for midterms i can't even at least get a relaxing winterbreak. I'm stuck watching my sisters kids while they go to work for 6 hours each day. It's not my fault they were dumb enough to have kids, why should i be the one to pay? Doesn't this sound unfair? I don't even like kids

Question: Does anyone else find this odd?

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 04:21 AM PST

The other day I went with my family to a house showing. We removed our shoes when we entered. Everyone else wore socks, but I was barefoot as I had worn sandals. When asking us questions in different rooms, the realtor kept saying "Emily, how does that floor feel?" And "Emily, how does that carpet feel?" I later asked her why she kept asking me that, and she said that it was because I was the only one with bare feet instead of wearing socks, thus able to feel the floors and carpets easier to feel the floors/carpets so my opinion was especially important to her. Does anyone else find this odd?
