I don't understand my parents/family. I feel like they are so unreasonable and rude and I don't understand why! My biggest issue with them is that I don't have a phone and I'm one of the only people in my grade without one. My parents tell me that when I have money I can buy one myself, but I don't have a job or money to afford it. They expect me to have a job and get straight A's if I want to buy anything. Money isn't even a big issue in our family, and my parents and my 2 sisters all own iPhones and many other Apple products. Even my 4 year old cousin has her own iPad. I need a phone because I'm in a lot of afterschool activities that my parents need to transport me to and from, and often have to let them know via another person's phone to remind them. Also, the majority of schoolwork is on an online website, so if I am in study hall at school, I often can't get work done because I can't access it without a smartphone. In addition, we have a brand new iPhone 6 at home. I don't understand why I can't have it if nobody else will be using it. I would even take my dad's old iPhone 5s and he could get the 6. My sisters didn't get a phone until 12th grade, so they take the side of my parents. However, they can't seem to understand that their experience is incomparable because between our age gap, the world has been transitioning into an age of modern technology. In addition, my family doesn't celebrate Christmas or birthdays or giving gifts in general, so that's a bust.

I have always been an easygoing child. I have never done anything that my parents told me not to do. Well, my father is the type of father that cares too much about family. Actually I can say that he is quite conservative when it comes to family issues. Partying? no. Concerts? Why would you risk your life messing around with strangers so no. Well it's quite funny but he also interferes with which part of the city I'm going to. The funny thing is those places are where most high schoolers go and places like city centre. Yeah he doesn't let me go to city centre as he tells me that a huge variety of people goes there, like bad ones lol. Now I'm in university and still can't decide if I can go out or not. Well I achieved one thing. I can go out during daytime. But after 6 pm is a big no. My mother doesn't have much to say about this stuff in family so I can't ask for help from her. I have never heard from my friends that they can't go out because their parents don't let them. Even girls don't have a problem like this anymore so I feel a bit awkward. I started to feel like he doesn't trust me. Hell I never keep secrets from them and they know it. I know that he has done much "teenage" stuff then I'm doing right now. Even my 14 year old brother does much more things that I couldn't when I was his age. Both my bro and dad is stubborn. I think that's my weak point. I should have been a more rebellious child maybe. Whatever. How can I make him see that I'm no longer a child?

My family lives a couple of hours away and normally we send giftcards, this year we went all out with gifts because we were under the impression my sister would take them after she came for a visit. She came for the visit and long story short she didn't end up taking them and it made me really upset. Christmas came around and my dad told me to just bring them when we have a chance. Although my dad is chill, my mom really wants her present. Now instead of the boots I bought her she wants me to send her a gift card. What should I do? We wont be able to make it out anytime soon and my husband is dreading sending the gifts by mail considering the sizes of everything. What would you do in this situation...?

It's been awhile since i started feeling like an outsider in my own family, it wasn't this way from the beginning but now everyone ignores me and avoids talking to me ..i don't know why but no one cares anymore. My brother and sister don't even answer me when i'm asking them something leaving me alwaays feeling akward by myself while they're hanging with my cousin wich is my age (17y.o) an i don't know what's the difference between us i mean "i'm their sis right? They should treat me better.. As for my dad we never had a good R.S anyways the only thing he cares about is money...And my mom doesn't wanna hear me talk at all like do whatever u want just don't make a sound. I waas really upset yesterday and i started crying in my room like hell till my nose started bleeding but no one cared cuz we had guests ... I'm not the suicidal type, i mean i try my best to be optimistic by thinking they luv me even of they dn't give a chance to express my self and stuff but sometimes i feel sad i can't help but think about doing something to my self .. i guess they would actually pay attention to me then right??!

Okay, I can remember things way back in my past. I can remember when I was a baby (no kidding) at best I remember when I was about 9 mounts according to my mom I told her things that I could remember and she was surprised as hell. I remember perfectly fine and can remember my mom conversation when she was taking to other people (I was about 1 or 2) okay, here a little example of my memory my grandfather died when I was 1 (few mouths for 2 year old) year old and my mom didn't had a picture of him (my grandpa didn't like taking pics of him) and I learn how to paint and draw then when I was 14 I painting my grandpa with details and everything for my mom birthday (though it wasn't really good idea showing my mom dead dad lol I was still a boy) and my mom was SO SHOCKED that I remember my grandpa!!! Now I'm 22 and still wondering why I can remember a lot of things when I was a little child I even remember my mom changing my Pampers (lol). I'm not trolling BTW. Oh sorry about the bad grammer it isn't my thing, there is a difference between intelligence and memory (not saying I'm stupid).

She left all 4 of her kids and moved to NC left them in Texas for her mom to care for. She came back September all her kids are grown now. She is constantly calling my phone up until 4am for my husband and if she hasn't seen him for a day she starts calling his family to look for him and leaves voicemails if I don't have him call her she's calling the police. She thinks she can tell me how to mother my baby we stayed at her house the weekend once and every time the baby cried she would grab him at first I thought she was helping. She started to criticize what we were doing with him saying we are hurting him ect. I told her she had the chance to be a mother. Anyways, by the second day she had an episode fighting with her mom and was screaming i told her several times don't yell around him. She wouldn't stop so I left and said dont try to come around us if she can't control herself. That night my inlaws called saying she's calling telling them that she's calling cps and if I can't handle having my son I need to give my baby to her? She always thinks she can disrespect me. I'm pregnant with a baby girl now. Shes always playing victim. She hasn't seen my baby in a month. All last month before our wedding she was calling everyone that she doesn't want us married and I'm having an affair? That no one will help her stop the wedding. Then cried to my husband how broken her heart was when she couldn't come. She's been here 8 months. If anyone has had a similar situation. Please help

I am writing this because at this point I don t know how else to cope with parents like mine. I am 17 year old female on the brink of adulthood. I have always been independent which is why I think my parents and I clash. Whether or not my mom wants to admit it she is just like my Grandfather. Very controlling and if that wasn t hard enough she has OCD. Literally. I have always found cleaning to be very relaxing for me and allowing me to clear my thoughts but still get things done. One of my biggest issues with her is laundry. She has it done in such a way that if we iron it ourselves she over reacts. There are few times where she has let others help. She will always complain about how much laundry she has to do and often doesn t let others help. If I am not home from time to time she will try to clean my room. I have nothing to hide and I am a good kid but she would be bs if it was done to her. She will often critique my appearance and I don t wear a lot of makeup but when I do she makes comments. Very rarely do my parents encourage me and if they always talk crap about people and complain about others. I have tried talking to her before and being sensitive to her about this issue but she gets defensive and snippy and shuts down. What do I do? I want my mom to be apart of my life but she is very difficult to be around. Sincerely a confused teenager.

My parents get pissed if I get b's and I had all c's last semester. They haven't seen my grades yet and I know they will eventually. What should I do?

I think I already posted this but I can't see it so.... I'm 13 years and want to go to the Luke Bryan concert. I kind of hinted at my mom and she said ask my dad. How do I ask him? He isn't really the type of person who can be bribed or anything. I went to the Ariana Grande concert in October for my b-day and went with him. Do I am willing to go with a parent buy want to also take a friend as a late b-day present since its on may 13. How should I ask and what could I do??

I recently visited one of my closest friends (her name will be G in this) with my other closest friend (name will be N). So G is 13, she has her eldest sister who is 22 and her second eldest sister who is 15. G would always try to start a conversation with her sisters but they would ignore her and not acknowledge her existance. Her eldest sister got pregnant at 17 so G grew up early to take care of her niece, her eldest sister would never take care of her own daughter she would always depend on G who is only 13 and a child herself to take care of a child. G would always say "i love you" to her mother but she would never respond. N, G and I were playing catch while G's niece was on a tricycle she fell and scraped her back. G rushed her inside to stop her crying before G's mother found out. Her mother heard the crying and rushed inside, she yelled at G saying "it's all your fault" "once your friends leave I'm going to hit you" and similar stuff like that. After a while N and I went inside the house and found G crying and apologizing to her niece saying "I'm sorry baby, it's all my fault, this shouldn't have happened". N and I talked to G for a while to comfort her and she told me this is the reason why she doesn't want any children or get married when she's older. G told me her parents have high expectations from her to take care of her niece and does this everyday. please leave any advice, be friendly, thanks.

My dad used to be amazing , like the best person in my life. We would do everything together. Lately he has changed so much. My mom suspects him of cheating and I have no idea how I feel. He's being very sneaky . And he left for another state I begged him to come home because I was seriously sick running a fever of 101 and he wouldn't answer my texts or calls . I found out that he was out that night drinking with one of his friends who is a female . My grandma, his mom, says I have no right to be mad at him because he's my dad but I am. He wouldn't come home to be with his sick daughter but stayed out drinking with another woman while he is married ? Don't I have a right to be mad?

I am 12. And I had always thought about whetherI should kill myself or run awayfrom home. I'm agirl. And I ******* hate swearing. But Ijust can't control it anymore. Myparents torture me so god damn much. But I can't runaway because they only hurt me when I do something wrong. Like if I break or something or ****. I specifically remember when I was 6 years old. And I didn't understand multiplication. I tried my best to, but I just couldn't. I got somany fails at Math. My mom got so mad and decided to teach me herself. She asked me a question, and if I got it wrong, she poured hot candle water on me. I got so many mistakes. I lived with my grandma, my nanny, and my aunts. They all saw me, it hurt so ******* much. But they didn'tdo anything. That'swhen I realized how ****** up the world really is. Mydad once pushed a pillow on myface. I couldn't breathe. I remember their belts or slippers being slammed on my butt or my head. My mom pulling myhair. And mydad who keeps oncomparing me to my sister. Now, I have an F. I feel like I don't deserve to live anymore. I really want to leave. I tried once, but I just came back worried that I might get kidnapped or something. My father scolded me that I should fight for this family. But honestly, I don't think my family's worth fighting for. The only one I care about is my sister. But I don't think she likes me. I've always wanted to be a filmmaker or a soldier. But I don't think my dreams were possible in the first place. Please help me.

Essentially, I m scared of my parents. I m in college, now, so I don t see them that often anymore, but I m scared to go home and deal with them. All they ever talk about is what I can do to get an internship, or the logistics of my college majors. I will mention great things that have happened to me, but it s almost like they don t really acknowledge these things. However, if I make a mistake or I do something wrong, my parents make sure that I know it s my fault. (e.g.: I forgot to return a rental book from Amazon and had to buy it at the buyout value; Mom told me that I had made a huge mistake and I was downplaying the seriousness of the situation, even though I felt guilty about it. She made sure I felt badly about the situation). When I was a kid, I wasn t so scared of them, but as I got to be in late elementary, I would be afraid of telling my parents about my day at school, for fear of being criticized somehow. I ve never told them about personal problems because I fear they ll attack me about them and won t know how to comfort me. Yet somehow I m still dependent on them (like I need validation from them, need opinions on things here at college, need to know more about something, etc.) and I don t know how to be independent from them. Should I try to be independent from my parents, or is there another alternative? Thanks to anyone who might have suggestions for me!

my parents are divorced and I've been switching from my moms to my dads house everyday. It's really hard because I hate having to grab everything I have everyday and bringing it over. I honestly just want to live with one parent but I love both. I always see my friends having a desk with all there makeup and just waking up and doing their thing there but I never got to have that I have to keep all my makeup in a bag to travel it back and forth. I also sometimes don't have clothes at one house. What do I do? And if I choose to live with one parent how do I do it? I don't wanna hurt my parents feelings..

HEEELP

My dad makes me cancel my plans all the time because of him and his plans. He is such an asshole! I really hate him. Whenever I ask him questions about his ridiculous policies he says "i don't have to answer you". But answers my 11 year old brother all the time. He's such a sexist bastard and I hate him. When I grow up I'm moving away from his annoying ***.

I'm a 16 year old girl. I understand that I can't do much but something, but I can't hang out with any of my friends or date. It isn't even that though. I can't even have my phone back. They took it in June! I got it taken for talking back. They handed all authority over to my 24 year old sister. I'm not allowed to be upset. If I have a bad day at school I get told to leave my problems at the door and that no one cares about them. If my parents or sister have a bad day, they take out their anger on everyone. It's honestly not fair. I'm the one who has to clean the house and if I get upset that someone has made a mess I get in trouble for having an attitude. My mom and sister are the worst in this. It feels like they team up against me. It isn't fair. I do get that teens say this all the time but seriously. I feel like they are deriving me of life experiences. I make good grades and have near perfect attendance, I've never been in trouble at school unlike my sister was (knock on wood that it stays that way) my gpa is literally three points from a 4.0. My mom and sister tell me I'm not allowed to have privacy because "I'm a minor" so they have my passwords for everything. If I try to voice my opinion about something I get told "Shut up. No one cares what you think. You're wrong anyway because you're a minor.". I've never rebelled against them in my life that I'm aware of. I want them to trust me so bad but this is all driving my insane. Can someone please just give me advice?

I'm 33 yrs old woman. I don't have kids but I'd like to have someday.I happen to know a man,whose son died in action in 2009 in Iraq.He was friends with my younger brother.I don't think there's anything worse in someone's entire life than losing a child,especially in war. Those kids,who give their lives so that we can live free are heroes,I admit that,but how does a parent feel like when his/her son dies fighting for our country.Please don't even say "they feel that" like I don't know that. I would cry like no tomorrow if my son died in battle.This man however seems doing great,he's really fun to be around,but I'm sure the loss of his son left him a void nobody could ever fill. Losing a child must be hell,however does losing him in battle make it worse?I don't mean to be disrespectful.I just want to understand what's going on in the mind of parents whose son died fighting for our country.Please answer this only if you know what you're saying,not just to get 3 points

my mom passed away and my dad isn't in the picture, I now live with my aunt and uncle, my sweet 16 is coming up and I need help... The first candle is for the parents and I don't have parents so I want to say a long speech about my mom and have a thank you to my aunt and uncle but should I make my aunt and uncle light the candle? Who should I make light the candle for the first one should I leave it not lit? Please help me

Every week my nana gives me €20 to spend for myself on whatever I want. But my parents expect me to buy EVERYTHING myself. If I want clothes I've to save up my Nan's money, if I want shows the same thing, my phone credit, if I go to town with my mom I have to pay for the bus even, and if I want a take away, the same thing! i am only 13 years of age and I'm expected to basically live off €20 a week. My nana gives my money to spend on with I'm with my friends and stuff but I can't because after I but my clothes and everything else I have no money! I honestly don't remember the last time my parents actually bought me something that wasn't for school. And money isn't tight in our house so that's not an excuse. Do you find this unfair or am I being selfish?

I'm 23 years old I live at home with my dad, step mom, step sister who is 9, and half sister who is 5. last night my dad and step mom were arguing which is a screaming and yelling match all throughout the house. I being an adult and having gone through this in my childhood and being scarred and mentally and socially damaged take the kids to the farthest room away from it because they don't need to see or hear any of that but when my step mom comes in the room still crying and on edge telling the girls to go back in the living room where if the fighting started again they would be in the middle of it again i block her way and tell her that she needs to go settle down and let the kids stay in here and play and be away from it until you are actually calm she shoves me in the door frame telling me that they are her children. was i wrong in doing that trying to protect them and shield them from the ugliness of the adult world they are my sisters as well as her children i love them too and i don't want them to turn out like me a broken husk of a person should i stay there to protect them or should i leave would it be better for those girls if i was gone and it was just my dad step mom and the girls but if i do leave and the fighting doesn't stop who will the girls turn to they'll be trapped there because whenever they fight the girls freeze up and its like they are afraid to make a move or a sound i just need an answer or guidance on what i should do

Every year since middle school I've gone with my best friend and her family to the beach for spring break. She has an older brother (he's only 2 years older than me) and I've been dating him for 10 months now. My parents love him he's a good guy he's in college he has a job he's very sweet and when I spend the night with his sister I really do sleep in her room but when he invites me over I hang out with him and when she invites me I hang out with her because I don't want to lose my friend. She has asked me to go with them to the beach again this year but she's also bringing one of our other friends because I can't ignore my boyfriend for an entire week and she's okay with me hanging out with him some and when I do she'll have our other friend. His parents are just as strict as my parents when it comes to us hanging out together they let us be in his room alone and they always knock but they aren't going to wait more than 30 seconds before they open the door. His parents have talked to mine and said when they go to bed unless his sister and our friend are with us and we're just hanging out we have to go to bed. Meaning we can't be alone together after they're asleep but if we stay up late as long as we aren't alone it's fine. I've never lied about something like this and I don't want to lose the trust we do have so I won't break their rules. My parents don't want me going this year at all and I don't know how to convince them otherwise.

Im 14 about to he 15 in a month and my mom found my stash of weed . She is sad and dissapointed saying that Im throwing my life away what do I do.(Please no answers saying you shouldnt do that it does not really help) Ps. I have been doing it since I was 13 and my grades have not gone down all it really did to me was make me a less stressed nicer person.

My mom blames me for the death of my grandparents. She also resents me for being born because she was no longer the center of attention (I was the first born grandchild). She actually moved to North Carolina (from Pittsburgh) because we had a fight and my grandparents took my side. She has serious issues. I lived up here in Pittsburgh with my then boyfriend, but we broke up last week. Now she will not leave me alone saying all this negative stuff about him when I've told her multiple times that him and I will remain friends. She gets super offended when I don't text her back within 10 or so minutes. She is constantly going back and forth between hating me and telling me shes done with me and then saying she misses me. She is the most toxic person in my life but she's my mother. What do I do?

I hate life right now my sister caught me watching masterbation and my mom doesnt know yet because she isnt home right now, but when she finds out... im dead.

Ok, so ever since my stepmom got married to my dad, she has been crazy and ocd about everything. Lately things have been absolutely unbareable. She is clearly attacking me verbally and my siblings even say she's bein irrational. She doesn't let me do anything. everytime i try to talk to my dad about it, he goes and defends her not me. He is also verbally abusive. zI feel like i have a really bad life because nothing good ever really happens to me, and i can't concentrate in school because of what happens at my house. Im constantly being let down by everyone in my life, and i feel like i'm toxic. What can i do? no one will ever listen to me for more than a second and its really been wearing me down lately. please help

My boyfriends son stays with us every other weekend and he has been holding in is poop. The only time that he will go is when I say that we are going to have to give him an enema. He was with us last weekend because his mom has been sick, last Sunday I had him sit on the toilet throughout the day and he said that he didn't have to go. About 3 hours before he was ready to go home, I had him sit on the toilet and told him this was his last time before we had to give him the enema. Well after sitting on the toilet for 2 minutes he went. Now today Sunday a week later, I did the same thing, he sat on the toilet before he was to be given the enema and once again he said I'm going, and then said I dodged it again. He went to the doctors and at first we thought it was encopresis and the doctor said that too, but it seems too coincidental that I mention the enema and then he goes. I am not sure what to do, his mom has so many of her own health problems, the son has said that she doesn't make him go to the bathroom, he gets praises at our housr and actually spends time with us but at his own home, it's like no one cares about him. My question is do you guys think that he is holding it in to get attention because we are worried about him, or is it something more serious?

So I'll make this: in our culture arranged marriages are normal (you get to know someone first, spend time with each other and then you either get married or not) so when I was 14 my parents friends asked them to set me up with their son (he was 20 at that time) and since they were good old friends of my parents they asked me to get to know him. And so I did. The first time we met he took me out to a dinner in a hotel where he then raped me (I was young and stupid, yes extremely stupid, and did not quite know that I could stop him and say no, but even if I had he probably would have done it either. When he took me to the room I got really scared and as soon as he started undressing me I started crying but did not say a word (like I said I was stupid and shy). He wasn't aggressive and didn't beat me or anything but still it was incredibly painful and I was sore for the next few days. When he dropped me back home I hadn't told anyone anything coz I promised him I would never say it. He then told his parents he did not want to be with me and then his parents told mine that it wouldn't work out. I felt awful about it coz i thought he didn't like me. After 2 months I realized I hadn't gotten my period.. Later after a few pregnancy tests I found out I was pregnant. So I went to the doc and got an appointment for my abortion (it was the worst time of my life) I had to tell me mom about the abortion too btw. This happened with 2-3 months. I was doing not bad, but after that, a few months later, I realized that I have been raped! And since then I've been living a horrible life. I can't help myself and I've been hating my parents and blaming them ever since. I'm 19 now and I still blame them for it.. Idk how to get over it. I have been in therapy too but I can't be in therapy ALL my life. Whenever something bad happens I blame my parents for it and keep reminding them of what they did to me. They are sick of it too and tell me and I'm selfish and have a small heart as I don't forgive them. What do I do? I still feel hatred towards them. Like I said this was the short version. I had many break down and suicide attempts and God knows what after it happened. But I've just sunken in self pity, self hatred and hatred towards my parents. @anonymous: I moved out last year. I know it I will never be able to understand that either

My wife's mother Jean, a woman I admire and adore, told me she wants to start dating again and hopefully remarry. However she is afraid that her daughter, my wife, will not approve of her replacing her dad. I told her if male companionship is what will make her happy she should go for it. Her daughter will get over it if she has a problem and Jean WILL NOT be replacing my wife's dad. Jean wants me to discuss this idea with my wife and see if she is OK with Jean remarrying. I told her I would do it but can someone PLEASE give me some idea on how I should approach this subject with my wife. I really don't want to screw this up and cause a problem for Jean or my wife. Should I just straight out ask her what she would think if her mom remarries? Is that too blunt of an approach? Women and daughters Please give me your advice.

I was setting on the couch with my much younger 14 year old brother watching a movie on TV. The movie had a sex scene in it and my brother got a b0ner. He said "excuse me Sis, but something came up and I have to go take care of it but I REALLY want to watch this movie". "Please remember all the details so you can tell me when I get back". I told him he could spank the monkey setting on the couch and not miss any of the movie and I would leave the room. That is what he did. My gal friends that I told about this said that was a VERY kinky thing I did. Do you think what I did was really kinky. I thought I was just being nice to my brother

I am a 35 year old single mom with a 15 year old daughter. I asked Bob a 25 year old single co worker to take me home one night when my car was in the garage. He did and I cooked him dinner to show my appreciation. My daughter joined us for dinner. My daughter had met Bob before when I took her to company picnics. She had told me how much she liked to talk to him and how they had a lot of the same interests. After Bob left my daughter Betty said "Bob is a great looking guy. I would love to call him Dad. Please ask him for a date". To say that I was shocked is putting it mildly. I pointed out to Betty that Bob was probably not interested in dating someone 10 years older than he was and if he had wanted to date me, he would probably have asked me. She said "Mom you are cute and sexy. He will want to date you. Trust me. You will never know unless you ask". (I am not sure I want my15 year old daughter to know about sexy. Is that normal?) I know it would be great for her to have a father figure in her life but I haven't dated for a lot of years. Is it acceptable for me to ask a guy 10 years younger than I am for a date. To tell the truth, Bob is a great guy and one of the hottest and sexiest guy there is and I would love to date him but I would never tell my daughter that. Should I ask him AND do guys expect sex on the first date?

So when I get in trouble and my mom ask me a question like "Why did you do that?" and I answer does that mean i'm talking back because she's over here like STOP TALKING BACK TO ME and i'm over here "I'm just answering your question..." .-.

So my birthday was 1/27/2016 and it was the worst day ever first off I got my phone taken and I didn't even have my phone today is 2/7/2016 and the only reason I have my phone is because is Stole it back on my bday I had to go to school and didn't even get happy birthdays from my friends and who would want to go to school on their birthday second when I went home my mom and dad kept fighting and hitting each other and my dad threaten to hit me in my face on my birthday and last I didn't even get a birthday cake

If they're constantly bringing me down, always needing handouts and nky doing anything with their life?

My mom is sick,and we dont have the money and insurance to get her help. She has had frequent stomach pain for a year and a half and refuses to go to the doctor so I can kind of understand why she is the way she is but its becoming too much. On the daily she screams at me and tells me I never do anything and that im a worthless child. She says I do everything wrong and pick bad friends and wont ever get into college with how my grades are (Im getting straight B s) She says Im a brat and act like a child and im the reason why shes sick. (Which is ironic cause I dont do drugs, alcohol, have sex, or sneak out) So I could be much worse. She frequently gets up in my face and screams at the top of her lungs and I talk calmly to her back telling her to please leave my room and that I need space and I dont want to be in the situation but she screams louder until I have a panic attack and hyperventilating on the floor. After I start crying she says im a baby and could have it much worse and then begins slamming doors and banging pans. She says I take all her money but wont let me get a job cause of my grades. She says she hopes I never have kids because im disrespectful and rude and walk all over her. The one time she got in my face she hit me in the sternum so I pushed her away (a natural human reaction when hit) and she hit the wall and then started screaming some more and called all of our family and said I struck her first. I dont know what im doing wrong or why she hates me. I try my best to be respectful towards her but she says she can do whatever she wants because shes the mom. I told her what she does makes me feel worthless and she said that she can say or do whatever I want and maybe I shouldnt be so sensitive. I try telling her how I feel and she just makes fun of me. Any tips would be nice just so I know how to address the situation without her getting any more pissed. This has been happening since she became sick and im trying to be patient but its hard

I'm 13 and only been to one concert Ariana Grande for my b-day and went with my younger brother and dad. The concert is Luke Bryan and I really want to go! I asked my mom and she said ask my dad. He is kind of tough and I don't know how to ask or what to do. I would let my parents come or just one of them but they don't care for the music so I was wondering on taking my friend as her b-day gift. How do I ask and how to get a yes?

Before I start explaining what's going on, look up 'Miss Swan' on YouTube. Okay, so my sister has liked Miss Swan for a really long time, and when she started to like her, she would imitate her voice. The thing is, my sister won't stop! It's as if she's totally lost her normal voice and it's driving my family crazy! The worst part is that it's been going on for 4 years! Please tell me how I should get her to stop! And she doesn't even watch Miss Swan anymore. She stopped watching her so long ago, but she just will not stop talking like her! Basically, my sister stopped watching Miss Swan a long time ago, but she talks like her all the time now and it really annoys us; what can I do to get her to stop!?

I have had a talk with my mother, now look I never had a father he left me when I was 4 and I haven't seen him ever since. I have been growing up with a single mother. She said that that not having a father can affect a child really bad. She used my best friend as an example. He is a drug addict very much struggling in rehab. She said that with having a father hasn't really helped him a lot. She also says that it creates a hole in a child's life. Is not having a father that bad?

My family, & everyone around me always saying things, that hurt my feelings & I just want to know how to not care about what they're saying & just mind my business .

I went out drinking with my best friend two nights ago, we went back to her house that night because she wouldn't let me get on the train when I was that drunk. Weve been friends since she moved to my town when we were both children, so we pretty much grew up together. (I'm now 23). Her dad was in the kitchen when I went to make coffee, we spoke for a couple of minutes, he started saying 'nice' things about me, put his hand in between my legs (i had PJ bottoms on) and kissed me. I didn't know exactly what to do. I did kiss him back, it lasted a couple of seconds and then my friend shouted down for me to hurry up. I went straight upstairs to sleep, and then left early in the morning. I've never seen him in that way, and I still don't. I know it was my fault, as I didn't push him away straight away. But I don't know if I told tell my friend? He is married to her mother.. I've avoiding her today. Shes a really great friend, and a great person and I think it'd cause problems with our friendship? He is her biological father. I was going to tell her, but I wasn't sure if it would affect our friendship. I say that it is my fault because I didnt move his hand and when he kissed me I didn't push him away instantly, I kissed him back first

How do I tell my sister in law no to her face ? My husband and I have reached our limit with her asking us for things. From co signing on a car & a loan to borrowing money! We share a phone bill of course it used to be only me and my husband now my mother in law and sister in law. I told them after the two year lease is up where done because we have to always ask for the money and they are always paying us late. Now my husbands sisters phone is messed up she wants a new phone but that would mean the contract would renew and me and my husband said no but it his sister so he beats around the bush with letting her know so I want to step in and tell her no I want to be firm but not a *****. Although I don't work I am the woman that holds our home down , I manage to pay the bills and do all our other finances along with all the house chores. I bring that up because his sister always makes smart remarks how it's his money but I work hard and we are a team and she doesn't seem to understand that. So she's coming over tomorrow and I'm wondering how do I approach her when she asks us if she can get a new phone because I know she will ??? Please any advice would be great !

I'm 17 and my whole life all i really know about my dad is that I hate him. Sure he's nice to me and buys me what ever I want when ever I want but he abuses my mom and I cant look past that. He beats her and always tells her how stupid and ugly she is (she's actually very pretty) and that she could never leave him because no man would ever look at her and she's to stupid to get a job on her own an support herself. Me, my mom, brother and sisters have left so many times its countless but it only lasts a couple weeks tops. Why does my mom stay with him?

Hi,my sister is 23 and I am 13.My parents are at the peak with their arguments,and I think they re at the rate of divorcing.I been dealing with this since I was little, they were both so passive aggressive with each other,and they intervene me in it and I can t handle it at this point.I m willing to do anything to remove myself from the situation.And my sister is the only one away from home,I think she wouldn t mind being my legal guardian but at this rate im willing to get pulled from school to just leave my environment right now.

How long would you let your unemployed sibling who is able bodied to work live with you and your husband/wife Paying $250 a month for rent before kicking them out?

My grandma recently moved in. She had a history of being a mean nasty person. She has disowned my mom and her siblings more times that I can count. She has done stuff I can't say here to her kids and her girls that would make your hair fall out just hearing it. But my mom is a nice wonderful person when she had several heart attacks she let her move in. But grandmal was on us right away.Said my sister had the devil in her. Called my aunt the N word. Was constantly lying about stuff. she is also on blood thinners and bruises any time she touchs anything. My dog jumped on her and you could see the paw prints in seconds. It all boiled down to a head and my mom told her she had to leave. She is going to live with my aunt. My aunt is the only sibling everyone does not talk to and she hates my mom. I am scared once my grandmal gets down there they will lie together and get my mom put in jail. MY mom would never ever do that. For starter I was ALWAYS with my grandmal. For another my mom is the best person I have ever known, What do we do? My mom is scared too. No one understands how evil my grandmal is

Hi, last week my cousin lost a huge bet to me and when I asked her mother for some punishment ideas and she told me that she hates her feet being seen by someone else, even by herself. So I want this punishment to be publicly embarrassing for her and must have her bare feet in the center of the attention. Any good ideas how can this be done?

It was a domestic abuse, a severe one that almost killed me nearly to death. They did that because of their high envy and jealousy. Luckily, I was aided by someone and It was my beloved father. Straightforward, I told my father the truth. I can see the anxiousness and fear upon their faces who hurt me as they saw my father. My father was about to give them physical punishments but due to my sympathy towards them. I quickly halted my Father.

I have twin boys who are 2. I came from a broken family. My mom was my main parent and I saw my dad on weekends. He got married when I was 11. My stepmother has always been pretty active in mine and my older sisters lives, but she's never been our mom or felt like a mom to us. She's a nice enough person and our dad adores her. Anyway, we had my mom and my in-laws over over Christmas and since I'm a photographer, I thought it would be nice to get some snaps of my boys with their grandmothers. It was a great day and it's great to have the photos. But my stepmother is hurt and angry about it. She and my mom don't get along and she's been known to stalk her on social media, which is how she found out about the pictures. My dad wants me to fix it by doing more grandmothers and grandsons pictures with her and my MIL, without my mom. I've refused. She's not their actual grandmother. Opinions? Would you do it?

I have four older half brothers who treat me like .**** and forget that i deserve what they have and that we should all be equal ,my dad has done so much for them but they still don't appreciate anything they want everything for themselves , they rat on me for everything they judge me and say the meanest things. They lie and pretend there the good guys , my relationship has caused me to not havin any desire to do anything anymore it really sucks I'm a really sensitive person to

Our dog chewed something up and my dad got so mad he yelled, "I'm gonna kill you" to the dog. I heard it. I can't believe he did that and I am so mad and hurt. I don't know what to do.

Pls how can i stop this thanks Thanks for answers guys, mike if you think it helps ill try :)

im 13 yo and my only friend is my sister. I live alone with my sister & housemaid. before I quit school 2 years ago, she said that I was very talkative and always speaks my mind. but now, I changed. she said I always held it in because I cry more often these days without any reason. she said it was because too much was held in so that I don't even know why im crying. but I don't think I changed at all, its still me.

My dad moved out when I was around 6 years old so we didn't live with each other for almost 7 years. I lived w/ my mum in Poland while he worked in Norway. He came home often and everything was cool. Besides that I got used to see my mum cry bc my dad would say she cheats on him with doctors (she's a nurse) and such things. My dad got mad at me every time we were on holiday together, but I thought it was because we weren't used to each other. A year ago me and my mum moved to Norway. My dad was pretty cool with me and mum until I told him I was getting bullied at school (Nov 2014). My dad laughed it off. Since I didn't get help at home I began to talk w/ that nurse-thing at school. She informed my parents since it was that bad. My dad got mad, said I never told them, blamed my "stupid ideas" on the internet and told me not to talk to the lady anymore, bc I could get taken away and he explained the process to me in the way that scared me. But that was just how it started. I think in like Nov 2015 things got worse. Like he got mad on Christmas Eve because I didn't wanna go to "Santa Claus" together with kids that were 3-8 (I'm 15). We still don't talk because I didn't wanna go skiing, it's been a week. He moans about that I'm home 24/7 but when I go out he calls me an hour later, yells at me and tells me to come home just to ignore me when I come.He hit me with a ball on the face on puropse and he said it wasn't enough air in the ball and it simply couldn't hurt me. Just yesterday he told my aunt I'm useless and that he only has to pay for me. My mum knows what's going on but she's not tough enough to tell my dad to stop. I'm kind of scared to tell my teachers since I don't wanna be taken away from my mum, and she doesn't have a job so I probably wouldn't be able to only live with her... What should I do?
