My parents have been having marriage issues but I always get put in the middle of it. How do I fix it or stay away from the argument even when I'm being dragged into it?

Question: Can I get my dad arrested for hitting me and also grounding me just cuz I skipped school and missed a test?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:07 PM PST

I skipped school unintentionally. cuz what happened was my mom annoyed me by waking me at 6.30. when I toad her to wake me up at 7. And then I was more annoyed cuz there was no lucky charms left cuz my little fat sister ate them all. Then I had to take my dogs to poop and they wouldn't hurry up so I was stood in the cold for a long time. So I was too annoyed to go to school. So me and my friend from a younger class just took buses all day around the city and it was much better than school. And school must of toad my parents cuz my mom started b-tching as soon as I got home. Then my dad got home at like 7 & started b-tching too. And he hit me which is abuse and made fun of me when I said one day I'm gonna punch him to death. And he even grounded me and made ridiculous claims that I didn't go to my test to spite him. Life doesn't revolve around him!!! He didn't even let me explain cuz he was saying, what's there to explain? Everything I just said in this question!! I hate him I want him arrested he is a bully and he is nasty to me and said he was gonna hit me again when I was just trying to tell him about the woman construction worker i saw on the number 24 bus. See how he doesn't listen to me

Question: What should I do?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:06 PM PST

About 3 years ago my parents got divorced and my mother has a new boyfriend. We used to be cool but about a year ago I realized that I didn't really like him. He's really annoying. He is a very loud person and I am not. My family is really quiet. He does things that piss me off like his little smart remarks really agitate me. Oh and I forgot to mention, he has a drinking problem. He used to live with us but him and my mom constantly argued and one time he left and she hasn't let him move back because I don't like him and she doesn't like the tension. This passed weekend was a big storm where I live and she told me he was only staying the night to help her the next day. I told her I didn't have a problem as long as he wasn't there the whole day. Long story short, he ended up staying the entire weekend. I was stuck here to be in the house with him the entire weekend and I had an attitude. I am 17 years old and we got into an argument this afternoon and she told me I can't go any where or do anything because I had an attitude. It's not gonna solve anything. I'm still gonna be mad when he's around. I don't care if she's with him I just don't want to be around him. She makes it seem as though I'm this ungrateful child. I understand being around people you don't like at work or at school, but at home?! that's somewhere you should feel good about being and I find myself hating having to come home because I don't want be somewhere where I don't want to be around a certain person.

Question: My boyfriends 9 year old daughter sleeps in the same room or in our bed every night. What are your thoughts?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:04 PM PST

My boyfriend is 31 and I m 21 his daughter is 9. Her mother died when she was 3 months so her only parent is her dad. His mom and two sisters live in the 3 bedroom house as well and it s overcrowded to say the least. Before me hi a daughter told me her dad and her slept in the same bed. The first few nights I started staying here she slept in the living room now s he sleeps in our room on a matress on the floor. A lot of times s he comes into our TWIN bed at night ! First of all there is no room second of all she should not be in the bed with me and her dad period. He obviously sees nothing wrong or weird about this because he leather fall asleep in our bed and then puts her in hers or sometimes even puts her in our bed if he thinks she s cold. Its a TWIN bed! Need advice. What should I say. I think this is totally annoying and weird. What do yall think?

Question: Why does my daughter think I just want her for work?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:00 PM PST

Okay so I make my daughter do chores and she think's I think of her as free labor for 18 years. I blame my husband for calling her that a few times. But all I make her do is cow chores, sometimes pig chores, dishes, laundry, starting to do dinner, and helping her dad around the farm on the weekend when he didn't work. I did more work then her when I was young, my dad had 100 head of sheep. She says sheep and cows and pigs are different. I keep telling her my knee is acting up and she calls it bull crap since it's been hurting for 4 years now. We have pig pens so when we have to work with them, we have to go in there and I can't stand getting mud on me and hurting my knee. It's been wet here for a while and turned the pens into mud that sucks up half your boot. Along with the cow pen. I can't do any work outside on the farm because I have my daughter do it. Sometimes I have my son help but mostly I make her do it so she learns life isn't easy or fair. But I don't see why she thinks I want her for 18 years of free labor. Kids are there to help, not to be lazy.

Question: I felt so bad for crying so hard, how do you think she felt seeing me that way? Is it bad we are close ?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:58 PM PST

I'm 16. mom used to dance everyday Zumba with her 3 friends Dona & Elsa. I got really close with do as son, were still good friends, almost dated. I'm very close with both of them, but I'm closer with Dona. She's been there for me a lot, 16th birthday, homecoming crowning, supported me when I lost & gained my vision back etc. she's a very reserved person, after losing her husband & daughter 4yrs ago. But she's always super loving, caring to me, always giving hugs & laughing together, always happy, we have a special bond. Last year she quit Zumba due to fight she had with Elsa, so we don't see her anymore but I miss her so much, so I text her "have a great day!" Every know and then.. My grandma died a couple weeks ago & surprisingly Dona had came to her funeral, I was crying very hard & shaking, She came down the line hugging family, we she got to me I bawled out crying even harder when I saw her, Life seemed at its worst & to see her after months without her, I missed her so much.cit was overwhelming. She gave me the biggest/longest hug. She kept telling me that it's okay, it's okay to cry. It was a special moment, very hard & overwhelming. Days letter she would text me checking on me. Was it bad of me to cry more? How do you think she felt seeing me like that? Why are we so close? (Me & my mom are very close, there's nothing my mom lacks) I just want your opinion?

Question: Cousin ruins peoples stuff and messes up home? What to do!?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:45 PM PST

My 9 year old cousin came to spend the night with my sister while I was away and I came back and found my makeup bag spilled everywhere with containers opened, makeup used and its very expensive makeup. She has been over before and always messes up the house and touches things that are not hers. Should I tell her mother or what? Her mother believes she is well behaved and acts like a normal 9 year old which she does not she has other strange things about her but she really doesnt know it isnt okay to touch other peoples stuff and mess up stuff. The last time she came over she was pretneding she was a cat and throwing around crushed up pringles and water and i forced her and my sis to clean the house. I have already reprimanded and questioned my sister but she was not involved in the makeup she was on the computer when my cousin was in it her mom was a witness. What should I do? If I text her mom whom im very close with what do i Say? Thank you in advanced.

Question: How can i make my dad suffer?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:44 PM PST

I found out he has been cheating on my mom with maybe an ex from 30yrs ago. My mom always cries to me saying he never calls her or text her or anything a real man should do to his woman. On his convo with the "exwitch" he send a photo of his work desk with a picture of her on his desk. ITS NOT MY MOM BUT HER. I found out he recently got a tattoo also in Oct in the convo. He texts her everyday asking how are you? etc and has more than an hour conversation calls. Once he told me to buy a perfume for him in front of my mom and i asked my mom if she wanted it she didnt even know what it was. then i found the exact perfume in his conversations. I cant believe he has the guts to "tease" his children saying "ill bring home another wife" whenever hes drunk. i cant beleieve he has the guts to look us in the eyes or his wife. The worst part is the ex witch looks almost exactly like my mom. i thought of forgiving him because we are all human in the end and this is not my problem. i have a lot of problems which makes me suicidal but i refrain because i love my parents. im so lost now. please help me i want to get revenge not by hurting anyone intentionally but like, i want to make him regret soooo much. im a sophomore in high school. i honestly wish i can leave this house. please give all the help you can. i appreciate everything, i just want a good life.

Question: I spent all night making a yummy cake for my dad s birthday and my sister as soon as we came home took a big chunk of it before he could see?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:27 PM PST

I hate her

Question: My family doesn't care about me?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:24 PM PST

About 3 years ago, my dad cheated on my mom and they divorced. My parents refused to tell me that they even were CONSIDERING or WANTED to divorce. My dad stopped coming home, and my mom mostly spent time alone in her room watching TV and sleeping. Each day, I would stay after school because it was much better than being at home. When I would go home, my mom would always be asleep and my dad would be gone. Almost every single day, I would go out to the store and buy a quick, $1 dinner to eat. Soon, my mom decided to move out, and we moved to our old house. Her temper was horrible, and she couldn't hold a conversation with me without blaming me for the divorce, complaining about how much she hates my dad, or just complaining about how she hates her life. I tried to help her, and I tried talking to her, and telling her to stop think about my dad, but she never listened to me; she always tuned out whenever I would open my mouth. My dad would send over half of his earnings every month, b/c my mom is unemployed. My mom keeps telling me she's suicidal and still shuts me out. I love my mom, but lately, she's been hitting me, slapping me, throwing things at me, and throwing me to the ground. She's angry because my dad isn't sending as much money as he's supposed to, and now we can't afford for me to take violin lessons, or even spend the 300$ for me to perform at Carnegie Hall. Whenever I cried, my mom would tell me to shut up. What should I do?

Question: Anyone with really ticklish feet?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:15 PM PST

Ok...I have a thing for either guys or girls with really ticklish feet. Anyone out there with really ticklish feet? Guys or girls...doesn't matter. Tell me your shoe size and how ticklish they are and how long you could stand to be tickled on your feet?

Question: Baby Genetics - Will our children look like my husband s mom or brother? Fat gene and how it works?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:10 PM PST

My husband is naturally thin like his grandfather. My entire family is thin so long they don t drink alcohol. Yet my husbands mother, father and brother were naturally large since birth and have immense difficulty losing weight. Their diet of course isn t helping. Will our children have a greater risk looking like them? His mother is obsessed with him to a point she has Oedipus issues. I m fearful I ll give birth and have a constant reminder of his cruel mother if its a girl. If its a boy I m worried with plenty of exercise and a good diet our child will be bullied.

Question: How to tell my family I am not religious?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:07 PM PST

I am a 15 year old girl. I'm a closeted bisexual and have been forced to homeschool my whole life (most likely due to my mom's religion). I am an agnostic atheist, after taking 3 years to decide this. My father is an atheist, but the rest of my family (mother, younger sister, older brother) are all strong chistians. Both my parents are extremely over protective, and I doubt they would let me go to public school, but my only social outlet is a church youth group. I want to be able to tell my family that I am not a christian (my dad already partially knows and doesn't really care) but I think my mother will think that I am going to become a stripper without religion. Now, I know that they won't kick me out of the house for being an atheist, seeing as my mother married one. But I won't have any social outlets if I continue this way. I absolutely hate being homeschooled and want to go to high school, even if I only have 2 years left. I also would like to come out, because I am more attracted to women than men, but that also kind of clashes with the whole christianity thing. No hate towards christianity, its just not a good fit for me. So should I tell my family that I am not a christian, or would that risk too much?

Question: Why does my daughter think I love my son more?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:01 PM PST

Okay I'm a mother with one son who's 16 and a daughter who's 14. My daughter claims I love my son more because I give him more things and make him do less work. Like she keeps bringing up that I'll always give my son something and except her to love it the same. Recently I got my son an Xbox and said that they both can play it. Well my daughter really wanted an Nintendo 3DS then but I chose to get my son the Xbox instead. She's never played on it and my son always plays it. Or with her doing more work. She just does cow chores, sometimes pig chores, helps her dad with stuff on the weekend when he's not working, she does laundry, dishes, she starting to make dinner now. My son doesn't do work, he just does plays on his computer, tablet, Xbox, Wii U, or he'll watch T.V. That's it. The only electronics my daughter has is a phone for calling and a tablet. Or she'll claim I have my son stay home more when he's sick and saying when she's sick I force her to go to school. My son stays home when he has a head ache, stomach ache, or if he's really sick while my daughter only stays home if she's told to stay home from the school. So am I favoring my son more or not?

Question: How do I deal with grief?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 12:51 PM PST

My grandmother died today. She's been the woman who raised me basically, since my parents were very busy working when I was little. I haven't really dealt with grief in my life, my great grandmother died four years ago, however, we weren't that close so I managed to deal with it pretty quickly. All in all, I loved my grandmother very much, however difficult her character might have been. She was known for being very often not pleased with things and not appreciating what people were doing for her, so me and my dad got in a lot of fights with her. That's one of the reasons why I feel so bad right now. I didn't come to see her the other day when she was having one of her usual periods when she told everyone she was feeling really unwell again and was complaining as usual. I feel even worse talking about her like that now, but that was the truth. However, I still loved her very very much and right now I regret that I couldn't see her now. Furthermore, my parents also couldn't see her and also did not really pay attention to her complaining as she did it so often. And I know they feel horible right now, just like I do. I don't know what to do. I've just realised that I will never see her again, and our family will never be the same. I know it will pass with time but it hurt way too much. Sorry about my rambling. I just need some words of comfort, thank you for reading this.

Question: Child Protective Services were called. Please help!?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 12:40 PM PST

Hello CPS was called on my mom I love dearly. They were called because I was raped by my brother from ages 4-10. I told in October of 2015. I am 15 now. My mom removed my brother from the house right away. We also moved to a new house. Can they take me away?! I love my mom so much I can't live without her. Please help me. I can't stop crying I can't be without her.

Question: Should I focus on my life or my sick mom?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 12:32 PM PST

My mom has been sick for 12 years, can't even reminder when she wasn't. Her sickness is mental and physical, to the point where she's bitchy a lot and can never get out of bed. I always used to pray when I was a kid that one day she'd get better and I'd finally have my mom back, but I'm almost 18 now and she's still the same and just getting worse. I find that she has put a huge burden on my dad and myself. I basically only have one functioning parent, my dad, who is severely depressed and I'm not close to. At home, I constantly feel under pressure to help my mom and to do stuff for her. My mom and I have never had a good relationship, she's over controlling and often times puts me down for being a "child". I feel the need to leave my house, and my family to pursue a career and a life of my own. I don't want to abandon my family, but I want to live my life while I'm young. I plan on moving out when I'm 18, finishing my last 2 years of college somewhere far away, and starting my life. My mom doesn't want me to leave, and gets very angry everytime I talk about moving out. Am I selfish for wanting to do this?

Question: ---HELP----?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 12:26 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 next Christmas isnt going to be this shitty..!!!

Question: Am i right for doing this and for feeling this way? PLEASE READ PLSE?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 12:25 PM PST

my older cousin has always been disrespectful towards my dad. and my dad has felt hurt lately because he has been in jail for over 7 months and my cousin & her husband havent visited him yet. My cousin's husband, my dad introduced them to eachother, my dad took care of him for years, gave him a place to stay in, they used to be bestfriends. My cousin and her husband live at our house (my fathers home) and they dont have the decency to go and visit him out of respect. she says she loves my dad and stuff , and yesterday shes like "oh im not ready to visit him, i am hurt" (because they were in a fight before he went to jail) like get over it, hes in jail, what more do u want from him? i dont want to talk to her anymore, and i want to make sure she will stay out of mine and my fathers life and not have any contact with him anymore, she is a stress case. shes nothing but selfish and rude. am i wrong for doing this? am i wrong to tell her to stay out of mine and my fathers life for good? like shes pretty much a nobody to me anymore and i dont live with my parents. i live with my grandma and my grandma doesnt get involved in this, i feel like i have to make a decision, my dad cant do much from jail and i have to do what i think is best for us.

Question: Please help!! Mom passed and dad wants to keep divorce settlement she was owed!?

Question: How can I get back at my parents?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 11:36 AM PST

The only two things I like in life are crew and academic summer camps. I love to learn and being able to explore interesting topics over the summer is amazing. I also love crew, a very time consuming sport. My dad is the most insufferable man you could ever meet. He has a temper and is obsessed with me being admitted to top tier colleges. I want to go to colleges in the top 15. However, I don't want to sacrifice all of my passions for it. I want to go to Penn, Northwestern, Rice, or WashU and I don't believe that changing my passions for crew and learning is the way to get there (I'm a sophomore). My dad forbid me to do crew this year because he said it was a waste of time, and he is forbidding me to go to one of the two academic camps I usually do. I have no friends at school (NONE) and the only place I have friends is at academic camp. The only place I am happy is at academic camp. And my dad is pushing me to the brink of insanity. I hate him and he is the source of my unhappiness. He pressures me so much to always be the best and I'm sick of it and I'm sick of him. I'm sick of always being terrified of letting others down and I want to make my Dad pay for giving me mental problems and nervous breakdowns all the time. He makes me feel like **** and he strips away what little self confidence I have. He needs to pay for this. What can I do to get back at him? (I'm not saying that I should act with violence towards him). How can I get back at my dad?

Question: Is my dad being fair or a dictator?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 11:36 AM PST

I'm 15 and 7 months btw, starting today for some reason (something doesn't go his way or sets him off he starts being mad like someone just died or something to all my family (me my mom sister and brother)) Anyway, today my sister did something (idk what) and he gets all tyranny and says that things are changing starting today. Now electronics and toys (I sometimes play with cards, my brother has a lot of toys) are limited and their a privilege not a right. Now he said we have to earn our things every single day. The "LIST" : we have to brush our teeth, shower, straighten our rooms, wash the dishes, read a book for 20 min., write a report for the book, work on current subjects from school- show our work, go out side for 30 min., sit in silence for 5 min., and write 1 bible verse on a post it and recite it aloud. That only gets us 90 minutes of "play". Should I be anxious to leave the house in 2 years? If I get a job I'm buying my mom a car or house or something to get away from my dad because I feel sorry for her he's mean. Thank u to all the other people for giving me advice except the jerk at the top. He's not insane and I appreciate that some people thought before giving an answer before typing and saying that they don't know what my situation is. And I know that he wants me to be the best I can be. No more Answers Stop Posting Answers

Question: Should I confront my dad? I am positive he is cheating on my mother.?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 11:24 AM PST

Wow, I never thought I would type those words out. I honestly thought my parents marriage was one for the record books, they always seem to be so in love. However, I was at my parents home last week using my dad s tablet (as I have done many times before) and a message came across the screen through the game Words with Friends. It was from a woman I have never heard of, so I clicked on it. The messages I saw made me sick to my stomach. It is clear from the messages that they have met up a few times and seem to be having an affair. She sent him her address and it s clear he has been there. I am at a loss. I took the tablet home with me so that I could monitor the messages. I blocked the woman from the game (it seems to be the way they communicate), I deleted games, but they still find a way. My dad seems to unblock her every time. This morning I sent a message (it would appeared from my dad) through the game that said, "This needs to stop, you are a married man and need to act like one. Go be a married man to your beautiful wife of 30 years! I won t say anything as long as this stops!" I m sure that confused him, and he doesn t know who the message was from, but I want him to know that someone knows about this. How should I proceed with this? I will check the messages when I get home from work this evening and I am hoping for the best. I hope this stops. Should I confront my Dad or just wait and see? Thank you!

Question: What should I do to help myself?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 11:17 AM PST

okay, Nothing new i'm not too depressed, however I just don't know what to do to cope anymore. Everyone close to me has something wrong with them. husband is turning into a bitter grouchy old man who is in pain 24/7 so he is learning to apply filters. i don't ask him to i just let it roll off and deal with it. My BBF is majorly depressed I do what i can to help her vent out her thoughts, it gets hard when it's the same stuff just a different day. My parents health isn't the greatest and they seem to be reverting to child stage. I can't have kids so i don't know how to be a parent to my parent. day at a time. My aunt is an additic (who is finally getting help because i applied touch love) my cousin her son is trying to be an adult with a druggy mother he is lost and i feel i need to help him. My other aunt is going crazy, all my aunts and parents seem to be reverting to child like mind sets. My other BFF has some health issues. My Boss is love struck and heart broken sometimes because she is having to deal with her issues for her boo working out of the area. I have a co worker who doesn't understand basic things like put the freezer stuff in the freezer not the fridge. I have another co worker who is drunk all day at work. and another co worker who has anger issues when he dont get his way. i am doing my best to be me. the over caring loving person i want to be. However i can't help but thinking running away right now would be the best thing for me. to boot this is only what i wanted to show you each one of these people mean something to me and most of them i cna't help. there is a lot more to this and i just don't know what to do anymore. When i get a chance to be a lone. i thrive on it. I do schedule alone time. Maybe i don't schedule enought. by the time dinner is ready and i clean up the house. i'm going to sleep to repeat. i'm lucky tho i do love my job and i love my house.

Question: REALLY UPSET! please give me advice as to what i should do...?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 10:49 AM PST

my mom met a rich guy on a dating website in September. He is a business man and CEO. My mom, wanting more money wants to start her own business so now, several months later, she invited him to come stay with us for a few days. Being the rich a**hole he is, he made my mom pay for his plane ticket. She paid for his plane ticket and he is here "living" in our apartment. My mom told me he was only coming for a few days but now its two weeks. I keep asking my mom if she could make him leave sooner but every time i bring it up "I'm being negative" or she just wants to come home and relax & not talk about it. I'm really uncomfortable with him (a stranger) staying in our house. Not to mention I'm homeschooled so I'm forced to spend the whole day (6:30-4:30) with him in my house. My mom has gotten in a few arguments with this guy while he's been here with him threatening to leave but every time he threatens to leave my mom persuades him to stay, KNOWING I'm uncomfortable with him being here. She claims she's having him stay here because she's desperate. Oh and to make things more uncomfortable i overheard him talking about sex in my moms bedroom. He was saying he could "make it sound like a surgery so she (me) wouldn't know" and douching. I'm just so uncomfortable and my mom makes me feel like I'm wrong for feeling this way. He overheard me saying to my mom that i didn't want him here and called me and started saying all this crap (i didn't listen to all) and my mom is aware. she cl- she claims she told him not to speak to me that way yet he's still her?! he has been here since new years and was supposed to leave a few days after but he is still here and planning on staying until friday now!! My mom isn't doing anything about it!! she says she is trying to find a way to get him out but every time i ask she gets mad and claims shes too tired to deal with it!! A whole month with some so called ceo with millions of dollars staying in my home! :(

Question: Should I help my mom dig out her car?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 10:29 AM PST

We live in an apartment and we do not have assigned parking spaces, so I told my mom NOT to park on the end (last spot) because when it snows, the people are going to push the snow behind your car. She did it anyway. She parked in the last spot, and now she has a whole bunch of snow behind her car, and she's mad at me because I told her so. Should I help her or not? She has an attitude with me now.

Question: Why does my daughter say she doesn't have a mother?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 10:21 AM PST

So my daughter and I were arguing because she was cutting again and she was being rude, telling me not to worry and that it's her life. We argue all the time so it's not new to any of us. I yelled at her and said "because I am your mother!" and my daughter told me calmly that she had no mother. I almost hit for saying that but I just continued to yell at her, she hasn't called me mom since and when I say something to her she addresses me as my name instead of mom. It's staring to piss me off when she calls me my name. I keep telling her she's being immature and she needs to grow up and not call me by my first name. She says she has depression but I say she just wants attention when she cuts. But why won't she call me mom anymore?

Question: Bisogna essere sposati per essere cognati?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 10:16 AM PST

Ciao, nella domanda non l ho chiesto molto bene..vorrei sapere se, per esempio, io avessi un fratello e lui avrebbe una fidanzata. Lei deve essere per forza sposata con mio fratello per essere mia cognata o anche senza essere sposata può esserlo? Spero di essere stata chiara..:)

Question: How should I deal with this family problem?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 10:05 AM PST

Last night I needed to use my dad s laptop for something and as I came across his history, I found a bunch of porn sites he has been on Friday night, which explains why he brought his laptop with him when he went to bed. I know this wasn t a glitch because I ve seen it before but I denied it. I know most of you will probably laugh and not think it s a big deal but I feel really guilty for my mom because she thinks that he s actually doing work. And in all honesty, it s just plain gross for a 50 year old man with wife and kids to be doing this crap in my opinion. Its something that s really bothering me and I m trying to avoid it but it s really hard and I feel like I just need to deal with it but I don t know how. I don t feel comfortable with asking other family members for advice, especially my mom who would go crazy if she knows. Please help.

Question: Is it strange for a 15 year old girl to share a bedroom with her parents?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 09:51 AM PST

I guess i never thought about it much, but wen I tell my friends i still share a room with my parents they say it s strange... Is having your own room a privilege? I always thought that it was...

Question: She wants to be an adult because of me?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 09:48 AM PST

I'm going to be 20 in a few weeks and she's 16. She's kind of like the annoying little sister who copies me all the time but I hardly know her she claims that she's an adult and wants to around my age, she says she's not an "immature child" even though she hasn't proven me otherwise ( personal reasons) I don't want to make her think she needs to be someone she's not and I don't understand why she feels that way.

Question: My sister is about to be 15 and she likes to drape herself across her step-dad and sit in his lap and wiggle around. ls this inappropriate?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 09:44 AM PST

lm 18 and l have NEVER done this and no one l now has either. My mom never actually sees it but said she did it when she was younger, but l don't think she has to this extent. Oh and this guy has only been her "Dad" for the last 5-6 years. l have told them and both mom and sister say it's normal. My mom said she did it but that's different. That was her biological dad she knew her whole life.

Question: Why doesn't my mom call me pretty?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 09:31 AM PST

This question may sound like I'm conceited or absorbed in beauty, but truth is I really don't understand why a mother would never call her only daughter pretty or simply compliment her. I've noticed over the last few months that I don't think I've ever really heard my mom call me beautiful or pretty. Im 16 and this next comment may sound like I'm jealous and petty, but she calls my brothers daughters (her granddaughters) pretty all the time. I just don't understand. Is it possible my mom doesn't think I'm pretty? Its not only a lack of complimenting my physical characteristics, but she never compliments my achievements or acknowledges anything I do.

Question: Is it fair my dad expects my kids to call his wife grammy?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 09:30 AM PST

I do not have relationship with his wife and my kids have not seen or talked her in over 3 years. I have told my dad to not expect me to have relationship with her and I have had a strained one with him. He continues to send gifts and they sign Grammy each time. Typical yahoo answers. It would be nice to get a response from a person that does not have good relations with step instead of just assuming that I have a vendetta for no reason. She is not and never has been a positive person in my life. They are together because of affair that deeply hurt my mom and me and it has never been the same between me and my dad. Many problems have happened since and I am not going to get too personal on here but it got bad enough that I finally said enough to my Dad and let him know not to expect me to have a relationship with her, this was after he had no contact with me for almost 2 years over issue with her. I do not think my kids should call her grammy after that and not seeing her for 3 years. I know it is super easy to post nasty responses when you don't have a face to go with it. There have been years that my dad has not seen me or my kids because of her. She is toxic and has not seen my kids in years and has no business referring to herself as my kids' grandma and I don't have to promote any relations between her and my kids. And actually not that it matters but I do want to say that I did try to have a relationship and they stopped having one with me!!! And now expect me to forget and all is well. When somebody hurts you are not obligated to have a relationship with that person.

Question: Mom wants to go everywhere with me, why?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 08:09 AM PST

My mom adopted me, she was never married. I need to do some research for a side job thing at a store and I asked her if she could watch my toddler while I get this done. Obviously, kids cannot tag along. She started saying she would not watch my child unless she was to come along and get to shop (I am not allowed to bring guests with me). She got mad and hostile on the phone and said she would not watch my kid because I "got ugly with her and would not let her come with me". Why is she like this and why can't she respect that when i am working my time belongs to ME? Not in my time is mine reg the kids, my work time is for work/making money and you cant bring guests with you. This is just plain common sense.

Question: Do I have to defend my sister?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 08:00 AM PST

My sister is starting high school next school year in going to be a senior and my mom and older sister are saying I have to defend her if any girls try to start drama with her. But I'm going to be 18 senior and need to focus on graduating because I'm behind on some credits and don't need to worry about stupid freshman drama when my sister is the one who always starts it with girls. My older sister also told me she's not going to buy me a car if I don't defend her. Ugh do I really have to?

Question: GTA V good for 15 year old?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 07:59 AM PST

So I really wanted to get the game game but my dad heard it was really bad because it includes sex, drugs alcohol and bad words I read some parental reviews and realized that most of Parent reviews and most of them say I bought for my 13 year old so should I get it?

Question: Should I watch my niece all the time?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 07:53 AM PST

I need some advice. So my sister is always asking me to watch her baby. My niece is over a year old and I have been watching her all the time even on my days off. I never get to see my friends or hang out with them because my sister is always asking me to watch her daughter. When I make plans to see my friends my sister always plays games with me. For example: I had make plans to go out with my friends so I tell my sister and she tells me I have to watch her daughter which I never agreed to. She is always doing this to me literally all the time when I am off work. It feels like I can never do anything with my life since she is always asking me to watch her child. All I do with my life is work and watch her child. All I want to do is have days off where I want to spend it with my friends. Do you think it's wrong that my sister is doing this to me?

Question: I just had my first baby...mothers...how do you manage kids, work life, and a love life with your husband?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 07:19 AM PST

I just had my first baby in November...mothers...how do you manage kids, work drama, bills and a love life with your husband? I don't want to pay for daycare so I watch him while I work at home. I'm an account manager and I work from home and I travel in the area 2-3 times a week. My in laws and my friends help me watch my son when I need to go out on the road for work. I'm 29, thanks all for the advice, just trying to get through things

Question: Do you all think it is possible to fix an emotionally abusive relationship?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 06:17 AM PST

I am in one. My mom has been married for 25yrs. and she has been in one for her whole life, my husband is not as brutal as my dad (prior marine) but he can be hurtful. He is a good dad to our 2 kids but sometimes I do not feel happy. I want to see a counselor but don't know if it would be worth it. Any suggestions or personal experiences? Thank you in advance.

Question: A mom choosing her a man she has known for 2 months?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 06:05 AM PST

My nephew is 9 and last year his mom met a guy and totally changed. I've known his mom since I was 8 and she's been apart of our family. But when she met this guy she stopped caring for her son. My brother took full custody because she said this guy was more important than her son. My nephew said when he was around this guy he pushed him against the wall and said " if your mom kicks me out because of you I will hurt you" and the mom didn't believe him. It's just been drama the boyfriend has assaulted my brother 3 different times and of course my brother called the cops. Long story short my nephews mom had only seen him 3 different times in the past year only for a few minutes we have been hearing around she is on drugs and my nephew is lashing out because of all this I mean there is so much to the story on his mom's part just to long to wright. But in conclusion to all this my nephew is acting out being aggressive and telling the ones who truly love him he hates them. What are some things I could tell him or take him to do. I always tell him I love him and I'm always going to be there but I just hate to see him go through this. Kids should be focusing on kid stuff not being afraid his mom's bf is going to hurt him or take him away from us. We have him in therapy and we are getting everything handled but I want my nephew to be okay.

Question: So, my dad is being sarcastic all the time and an asshole. He is not doing it for joking purposes and he always yells. Should i talk to him?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 05:36 AM PST

I am 19 with a full time job, I make about 2000 a month. Here s where it gets tough, I have a boyfriend and I happen to spend a lot of time with him (according to mom), well 2-3 hours , 3 times a week and all of Saturday and Sunday since we go to church and everything . my mom constantly bashes on me for spending time with him.. He has a job and everything also, and it drives her nuts that I want to spend some time with him, I uphold my end of the deal with her, I give her money every check, clean the house and of course be at home by 10:30 since yeah, I have a curfew... I also happen to work with my mom.. I have spoken to her about getting my own place .. And she constantly tells me that I will not make it by myself and how God will punish me for being bad to her and wanting to leave ... Truth is I don t want to leave but when she gets in her moods she tells me if I wanna live in the street to pack my stuff and go ... Should I just leave or wait till I get kicked out?...,because there ain t no way I ll stop spending time with my bf.. Especially since she s the one that suggested I d get one and start going out and I see her not only at work .. But at home .. At church ... Everywhere else, you name it, shes there.

Question: Is it okay to blame my bad habits on my parents if it is bad habits they had also?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 04:12 AM PST

Question: My dad hates me, and I don't know why?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 04:03 AM PST

I have felt this way for a long time now. starting from when i was 14 to now (i'm 23). he told me I was destroying our family, he yells at me when dinner is not done at 6:00, he picks fights with me, called me a fat ***** and always say i'm lying to him. I high school I wasn't like my other black friends, i was very rocked out, black eye liner, chain the work.I got pregnant when I was 19 and it only got worse from there. he had kidney failure and I tried to remember he was sick but now he has a kidney and he still doesn't want to talk to me. I went to EMT school but having a hard time passing a test and he looks down on me. my grandmother passed just recently and he said if I don't come to the burial " Well find out who I hate." his words to me. I have a brother and sister who see it but it not much they can do and my mom just ignores it. he loves my daughter but hates the sight of me, he said he loves me but I cant feel it and I've never felt it. I'm at the end of my rope with him. Most of the time I drink my feeling away. All I want is for him to love me, and be proud of me. I cry almost every night just wishing he would love. My mom just think im acting like a child. Im not working so Im stuck in the house with him. What do I do?

Question: How do i get my brother to stop stealing from me?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 03:50 AM PST

My 12 year old younger brother won't stop stealing little things from me. I talk to my parents about it but they say he can't help it because he has a thing called ADHD and schools is harder for him. I agree he can't help the stuff at school at all but I can't figure out what this has to do with stealing. They never correct him. How do I get him to stop? I tried hiding something of his but my mother got mad and said I can't do that because he can't help stealing from me. I've looked up ADHD and it says nothing what so ever about uncontrollable stealing. So how do I get him to stop?

Question: My mother says she divorced to protect my sister and I from our parents fighting, am I at fault then as I feel guilty?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 03:43 AM PST

If they divorced to protect us then it is our fault.

Question: My 18 year old daughter started working as soon as she turned 18. She is also a full time college student. She has a full scholarship?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 03:16 AM PST

Her scholarship pays for everything; books, meals and of course the classes themselves. She is still living at home. Thing is she is stingy/cheap with her money. Growing up we went on many vacations; Florida, Grand Canyon, Vegas, Cruises etc. Now she is just collecting her money to save for whatever she wants. If we want to go to dinner or even talk about going on vacation she doesn't think she should contribute any money towards it. Is this fair? At what age should all contribute to things like eating out or vacationing? Or should single mom have to pay for everything? She said she is saving for when she gets her own place but what about helping out while living at home now. And I even drive her back and forth to classes and she doesn't think she should even contribute gas money...

Question: Why do I feel this way about my sister?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 03:13 AM PST

Her and me r 11 months apart and im 13 and shes 14. She's my best friend but ive been feeling strangely fasinated with her belly when her & i go swimming. My body starts to shake and my privates feel very different when I see her wearing her bra & underwear, because she doesnt get dressed when our parents arnt home. She got a heart shaped belly bring & showed me in my room and I really just wanted to feel her tummy all over. She said our parents will explain why i feel this way yet they usually keep secrets to themselves. Now i ask vivian to go swimming every day after school and I can't stop looking. What's wrong with me and why do I feel like that about my own sister.?

Question: How can I help my brother improve his body image?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:49 AM PST

He's 11, and freakishly tall for his age. It's not his height that bothers him (he's proud of that), but I feel that his weight may. He's already naturally big boned and although he loves playing sports, seems to carry a bit more fat than muscle (although he's far from overweight). I don't expect for him to be muscular--he's still a prepubescent/preteen kid. But I notice constant pressure from other adults for him to "bulk up", especially since he has a natural talent for (American) football. He's healthy, but gets heat for being on the soft side, as well as his eating. Sometimes I catch him occasionally eating small meals or being nervous about taking his shirt off at the pool/beach which worries me. Doesn't help that we have family members constantly on and off of diets. At his age he shouldn't have to worry about that. How can I help promote a good body image for him?

Question: Mother yells at me.?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 02:32 AM PST

She says I want her to divorce and that I want her dead.She. tells my father I am an asshole and she tells me that she sees me as a monster.

Question: Is my mom emotionally abusing me?

Posted: 25 Jan 2016 01:08 AM PST

So my boyfriend of 2 years has always hated the way my mom treats me and not too long ago he told me that she's emotionally abusing me and that it's not right. Although I'm scared that this is all just cause of me. example: I go forthe DMV permit test tomorrow and I need to do homework.(it's Monday, I'm homeschooled and my hw is due Friday) Well, I had work today till 7. I come home and take a shower and we eat dinner, everything is fine. I talk to my boyfriend on the phone for a while since his mom just got diagnosed with leukemia. I workout and start my homework. It's around midnight now, everything is fine and all of a sudden a half hour later, my mom wakes up, stomps over to my room slams open my door yelling "I'm so done with your bullshit every ******* day you don't do anything" she proceeded to smoking a cigarette in the kitchen and yells "turn everything off, don't lock your door- actually don't even close it". She does these things like this all the time to me and I'm starting to wonder if it's my fault.. My brother stays up till 5 am every night and he's 25. I'm 18. She also tells me I'm too skinny and that I should eat more. I eat more then she tells me I'm getting a double chin and takes away the junk food from me. Although she tells me I'm beautiful and that I should be a model and it's all confusing.
