Family: Question: How to deal with being the least favorite child?

Question: How to deal with being the least favorite child?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 01:15 PM PDT

Basically I'm the least favorite and all my brothers get rides anywhere, lunches made for them, compliments etc. One time my brother didn't have lunch at school so my mom literally made him a lunch, wrote on the bag a bunch of stuff and smiley faces and shittt, and drove it to him. Guess what? I ALWAYS make my own lunch becuase she hates me and would never do that, and say i leave out the lettuce. My mom will literally yell at me and sometimes call me an ahole or something. If you are the least favorite how do you deal with it?

Question: Sister Trouble, Bad trouble that may put family in danger..?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 01:03 PM PDT

Let's call my sister T, okay? So T had a good friend once. But she pushed her away, and this is where the bad things have been happening. T, well, has stolen things recently. Like two hundred, eighty, and then twenty dollars. She has been a thief before, and has gotten 302 (? I forgot what this meant, but I remember her about to go in the ambulance as she was locked in her room, which she has done intentionally. About a year ago, if correct.) Anyways, then this girl Brianna, is a BAD person. Drug, thief, smoker, whatever. I had been told these things, and they are all that I know. So, does anyone have any ideas? And if this is too vague, then I can explain more. (She also doesn't respect our mother, and I am truly disappointed. I am thirteen, if anyone needed to know.)

Question: Boys only?

Do you hate it or like it when sister(s) or your mom tickle you?

Question: Is this a good bio? I'm entering an art show and I'm supposed to make one about myself. Please be honest, it's for Nationals(:?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:53 PM PDT

For as long as I can remember, I've had a passion for art. Sketching, coloring, decorating, and even painting, though I'm awful at it. I remember, during my toddler years, when I would sit down with my grandmother and we would color in coloring books whenever I visited. I thought I was so much better than her at coloring those pictures of Winnie-the-Pooh. But now that I look back at them, she was definitely better. Art has stayed my true passion up to this day, and I don't think my love for art will ever die. Along with art, there are many other things I enjoy. For example, I also love playing sports, being outside in general, the color pastel pink, all types of music, and trying to cook foods that suddenly end up tasting like they're no longer edible. Aside from all of this, I am very quiet and shy around people I don't know very well. Once you get to know me, however, I'm fairly psycho and I'll probably end up talking too much. You can ask anyone from my family of five. My family consists of my older sister, Cassandra, my mother, Wendy, my father, Todd, my step-father, Phil, and me, Skye. As you can guess, my real father and mother separated when I was in first grade, before my step-father joined us. Though my real father doesn't live with me, he still takes an equal part in my family and knows just how crazy I can be. Every single one of them loves me and supports me immensely when it comes to my hobby of art, which will hopefully turn into a career in the future.

Question: How can i move at in 2 months without my grandmother trying to stop me?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:50 PM PDT

In 2 months i will be 18 years old. I am looking foward to moving in with one of my friends.  We are both going to finish high school since we are gping to be seniors in september,  and we both want to get a job to support ourselves.  The thing thats bringing me down is the fact that both of my parents passed away and now my grandmother has custody of me.  She claims that i have a "law guardian" and i cant move out until i am 21.  Everyone is telling me its not true because when you are 18 you can make your own decisions. Im afraid that when i turn 18 and i try to move out,  she is going to get the cops involved and try to stop me from leaving,  and i don't even know if the cops will do anything.  I want my parents to be proud of me.  I have to move on with my life.  I have positive goals that i would like to achieve and i feel like my grandmother is going to try to stop me.  What should i do?

Question: Parent / teacher evening.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:47 PM PDT

My mum's in hospital and so dad came with me to our school parents evening. My favorite subject is PE and especially soccer. Before we left I heard my dad talking to Miss Jackson, and she said "I hope you can keep it up for a lot longer next time" but I'm the record holder in class for keeping up the soccer ball. Did she think my dad's as good as me?

Question: My freaking family is so annoying.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:38 PM PDT

This is why I moved out, and want nothing to do this these people. I don't even want to go over there because everyone in that household are just lazy never want to go out always wants to eat, sleep, and sh*t, my father is 46 years old and never had a dame job in his life, but always want to use someone else's money, my sister had two kids only so she can get money from the father, she's just like y father and expect everyone to come out of pocket every time she wants something, my brother doesn't even like to talk showers, you just have to force him and half of the time he doesn't even want to do that. these people don't even know how to talk correct English, always say everything in slang. I try not to say much, but every time I come to that house I just want to leave the moment I walk in the door.

Question: Why does my sister have to be so immature?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:34 PM PDT

She is 24 and it is her graduation ceremony in a few months time, my parents told him I would be travelling up with them to watch him graduate and she told them I wasn t welcome. My father got into an argument with my sister about it and she told him that I have never had anything nice to say about her. She went on to say that I called her stupid all the way through school and told her she d never get into University. I admit I was harsh, but I m wanting to make up for it by coming. When I spoke to her on the phone she give me a mouth full how I encouraged people to bully her at school, when it was actually just banter.

Question: Parents fighting.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:32 PM PDT

Last night I was in bed and I overheard my parents having a big row. I couldn't make out what was being said, until Dad shouted loudly "when you went to the Pastor's house last Saturday with cakes for after church coffee, you were red raw and could hardly walk" Then everything went quiet. Any thoughts?

Question: I am about to become a father but I'm not prepared and still haven't told my family. How can I make everything better?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:31 PM PDT

I met a redhead who is quite a bit older than me (21 - 34) but we chatted, got on well and things took off from there. We enjoyed each others company for months but that changed after she became pregnant. Things are much more distant now and I still haven't come to terms that I'm going to be a dad. My family doesn't know. I've kind of buried my head in the sand for a while. I've seen pictures of her scans and been updated with latest developments. She's expecting a girl. I had plans of starting uni, going on a gap year and just travelling. I don't know where to begin with all of this. My family are strict and won't be too happy.

Question: Fight with my dad? What do i need to do?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:25 PM PDT

I got in trouble at school because I told my teacher that she needed to stop making fun of students. School called my parents because they thought that it was disrespectful behavior. My dad started talking about it during dinner, i asked him if we could talk about it later. He got "mad" and started raising his voice , so i asked him why he was screaming because everybody was talking in a normal way and he ruined dinner. That made him really angry and he told me to go to my room, i asked him why. He got up and pulled my chair back (I fell on the ground), i then told him that he was acting stupid. He ended up throwing his glass at me when i asked him again why i needed to go to my room. I know that i was acting stupid and that i needed to go to my room when he said it. I feel really bad now and dont know what i need to do. (My dad is normally very calm and doesn't really scream, he also never got this mad or touched me or my siblings) What do i need to do?

Question: Are parents who get their children kicked out of the house at 18 okay with never having a relationship with their kids again?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:20 PM PDT

i'm been thinking about this. believe it or not i have actually heard of parents doing this. i know the law allows you to get your kids to leave the house for good once they turn 18 even if they aren't financially able to afford their own place, but surely they have to realize that their kids will despise them from that point onwards? is it really worth never having a relationship with your children again just so you can have a somewhat easier life and more money to spend on yourself? i'm not talking about kicking out a problematic child here. i'm talking about getting them evicted simply so you don't have to be responsible for them anymore

Question: Why does my mom always want me to be like other people?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:15 PM PDT

She literally always takes the best qualities of other people and says she wants me to have those. For example, she wants me to be pretty and extroverted like my cousin, but leaves out the fact that my cousin gets Cs & Ds in school while I have mostly As (something I rarely get praised for). It's really making me feel bad about myself... Why is everyone better than me?

Question: My family hurts me but I cannot let them go.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:12 PM PDT

My family does not call me I have to call them and even then they seem as If I am being a burden. They have their little "group" of which I am not a part. They cannot be bothered to call or Skype even though I would love to see my niece and nephew badly. I love my family with all my heart but they are so hung up on planning new vacations or doing something new and interesting that they claim they never have time. I have to see pictures of my little niece and nephew growing up on facebook. I ask for pictures of them and they never send them. They have moved 13 hrs away from me and I am ok with that but to send me a picture and thin gs are not that big of a hassle. it breaks me down. What should I do?

Question: My mom thinks I don't have enough fun?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:02 PM PDT

She keeps bothering me about it and trying to force me to do things I don't enjoy. Basically only because she enjoys them. When I tell her I don't like the same things she just says she wants me to have fun and that she thinks I don't have fun or socialize enough. I'm an introvert but I do have friends that I hang out with at school and stuff, but she forgets their names, ignores me when I talk about them, pretty much acts like they don't exist and that I'm a loser. She keeps making me feel bad about myself. Like, I hate myself now cause of her. If I try to explain that to her she tells me I'm wrong and she's right. What should I do?

Question: How to deal with an unreliable mother?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:02 PM PDT

I'm 17 years old and my mom has always been unreliable. My dad took off when I was a baby so I can't rely on him either. She's always late or even forgets about me and it gets really irritating. What really sucks is with my job. If she would let me get my licence this wouldn't be a problem but that isn't the case so I need to rely on her for transportation. Almost everyday I'm late for work because even though I will be ready she takes forever to leave. For example I will tell my mom my shift starts at 4 and even though I will remind her an hour early and be ready she won't get in the car until 3:58 and my job is 20 minutes away. Same thing with getting picked up after work. I will tell her I get out at 10 and she won't pick me up until 10:45 so I'm standing outside by myself for 45 minutes and a few times she completely forgot and picked me up at 3 in the morning on a school night. What bothers me is all she does is sleep all day and doesn't even work. Our only income is me and welfare. What should I do about this? also we live in a rural area so there are no taxis or town buses

Question: Country living.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:00 PM PDT

We live I the country and my Mum always sends my big sister down the lane to Mr. Dawson's farm for some fresh milk. But when she comes back home with the milk, she always has a problem walking. Why is this?

Question: I can't live with my parents anymore?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 11:42 AM PDT

I am 21 years old, have 3 more years of college and than I am out, I hope. It's nothing big, it's the little things. My father is not capable to remember I have classes from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 2 pm, so he asks me when will I come home for lunch anyway. I don't know what I hate more, having to answer the same question every ******* day for a year, or just the time that I wasted in that pointless conversation. Today I was preparing my chicken and I like it crisp, so I always put it on high for the first few minutes. And there he was, telling me how I will burn it and that I should turn it down. We've been trough this a 1000 times, and he knows I get irritated by it and he starts talking about it anyway. It's my ******* chicken, I will prepare it the way I LIKE IT. But there is no way to explain that to him. And then he says that I get irritated easily and that there is nothing to talk about with me. Is that a topic of constructive conversation? They expect me to talk to them every day about my life, friends, hobbies and so on. I go to college and I work 4 times a week, when I come home i just want to rest, but there they are. I love them, but I don't want to be their friend, we have little or nothing in common, and I've accepted that years ago, but they just refuse to. I help around the house, I have a part time job, I am not a bad son, i just want my space. They were at my age and it just baffles me how they don't understand me. How do I explain them what I want?

Question: How do I get my son to love me again?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 11:35 AM PDT

I admit, I ****** up. I'm not asking for any sympathy or love for what I did to my son. You see, I'm a mother, and my son is now 15. My husband left me when I got pregnant and so I was left to take care of my son on my own. Along with this I had my own issues that I wasn't able it deal with, and so my son was my punching bag. Starting when he was three, I'd verbally and physically abuse him. I'd call him horrible names everyday, and if he cried then I'd kick or punch him. The poor boy still has many bruises all over his body. I'd also prevent him from having friends and talking to other kids. Only recently I've recognized what I've done, and I want to make things right. Everytime I talk to him he always yells or ignores me. I know I deserve it, but I still want to make things right between us. He says how he wants to live with another family, but I want him to stay ajd try to work things with me. I want things between us to get better. He's my only son and I love him dearly. I just want one more chance to be the mom he needed.

Question: Is it possible to reissue savings bonds from one sister to another sister that is in my name "or" my sister`s name.?

Question: My parents might go on national TV about my brother's drug addiction, how do I get them not to embarrass the family on national TV?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 11:07 AM PDT

They are working with someone with ties to the Dr. Phil show and the show Intervention. My brother has continuously relapsed on prescription drug abuse and other poor conduct issues going back to age 12 (he is now 23). I know the Interventionist might recommend the show Intervention or possibly the Dr. Phil Show. I like Dr. Phil Show a lot (I watch it) but do not want our family's issue on national TV. So my question is what do I do if they do go on? I know I don't have to go with them but I am worried all in my town will be like "hey I saw your folks on national TV about your brothers drug problem and they shared several other personal things as well".

Question: Do I have a dysfunctional family?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 10:39 AM PDT

My sister is a drug addict and has had years of a horrible temper. My mother even had to move out of the house for a time with me because my sister's temper was so offensive. Now her temper is less but she is a drug addict who goes to rehab and then continuously comes back and relapses. Also my mother is rather bitter but that goes back to before my sister's issues. Otherwise my mother is fine. My father, brother, and I are fine and normal. So do I have a dysfunctional family like it feels sometimes?

Question: How do I get my parents to support me in having a relationship with extended family?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 10:35 AM PDT

I have tried telling them how important it is but that doesn't work. It is on my mother's side of the family that I am not allowed to go around much. My maternal grandfather is an alcoholic and so we (my siblings and I) are not allowed to go to family gatherings if my grandfather is there. I am 13 and want to start seeing cousins, aunts, and uncles as well as my grandparents. We see my grandmother, but not my grandfather, cousins, and aunts-uncles. How can I get them to allow me to? Are they being unfair? This is on my mother's side of the family I am referring to. My grandfather is grumpy when drunk but I don't mind.

Question: Is my dad emotionally abusive? Or is this normal?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 09:47 AM PDT

My mom says he has been since they ve been married, but here are some situations that make me think he is: -just yesterday he told my mom he was going to take our car that doesn t work to well to the store but then when my mom and I were driving home from visiting with friends, my dad called and was angry and cussing and said we trapped him at home and that we d been ignoring our phones (mine was in the car charging, my moms was on vibrate but he had only tried calling ten minutes before as we were getting ready to leave) and then when my mom tried calling him back several times he ignored it. Then when my mom told him he said he was going to take the other car to the store he was like "yeah because I would say that!" All mean and angrily and then they were leaving and I was staying home and my dad came back in for something and angrily said something about the car I just didnt say anything. - my dad told my little brother that my little brother is the reason he s always mean and angry. -he told my mother he hated her and justified it by saying he was tired then said he didn t remember it the next day There are other things like this that happen fairly regularly but then he will have times where he s super nice to us and tells us he loves us and tries to hug us and stuff. I can tell my little brother is affected most by my dad s behaviour, because he is starting to act that way. Is this normal? Or is it emotional abuse?

Question: What is going on and what's the best thing to do? Should I tell my girlfriend ?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 09:30 AM PDT

So me and my girlfriend have been together for quite some time , and I have 1 more year in school before I graduate and I start working in my field of choice. Me and her planned out moving in together and getting our own place the summer after I graduate and we had planned doing so in her town. She wanted to live in her parents land which seems like a smart idea because we would not have to pay for rent and we would have our own house etc. I had agreed to this and was very enthusiastic about it. Now my parents brought up me moving out of the house the other day and my mother said she would not let me move out into the country, that's where my girlfriend is from. I am from a very heavily populated city , and my mother said I should stay here or as near as possible because there are more opportunities and better paying jobs for my profession than there is in the countryside. And said that she did not pay 4 years of school for me to move into that place and throw it all away, she said this very upset and it made me sad and I seriously don't know what to do or what to tell my girlfriend, I don't wanna hurt her and we were so happy planning out and I think it's unfair but I don't wanna let my parents down. I'm also 23 years old and I feel like I've done a good job as a son to go to school like my parents wanted and excelled. What can I do ? This is bothering me

Question: Would My Dad Be Considered "Lazy"? / Other ADVICE?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 09:24 AM PDT

This morning, I asked my dad to go to the library. He said okay, but later. It's currently noon and he's just sitting on his ***, watching TV. I'm an only child, and we never really do anything, otherwise. I'm just getting sick and tired of sitting, watching tv and I want to go out and do stuff. We are planning on getting a dog, but that is postponed because my father is going on strike (I don't know how long for). Does anyone have any advice on this?

Question: How can i gain legal custody of a 16 year old that is not my own in florida?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 08:28 AM PDT

my daughters friend has a terrible relationship with her mother, her mother abuses her mentally and emotionally and sometimes physically, yet her mom wont let her leave her house. I am willing to take full responsibility and provide her everything she needs and treats her as my own. How can i gain custody of her?

Question: What is the main purpose of my life?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 08:19 AM PDT

I haven't been feeling too great lately and I have so many things spinning in my mind. I'm still 17 but I've been through a lot and it's starting to affect me pretty badly. It's been almost 6 years since I lost my mum and that pain won't ever go away. Everyone says I look like her. I live with my dad and two brothers and I'm studying as much as possible to do well in my life but often I feel really numb. I'm often really happy but I have moments when I struggle a lot and it's something I cannot control. We've recently just moved and I no longer have that closeness with my friends. We talk but it's not the same.

Question: I am about to become a father but I'm not prepared and still haven't told my family. How can I make everything better?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 08:09 AM PDT

I met a redhead who is quite a bit older than me (21 - 34) but we chatted, got on well and things took off from there. We enjoyed each others company for months but that changed after she became pregnant. Things are much more distant now and I still haven't come to terms that I'm going to be a dad. My family doesn't know. I've kind of buried my head in the sand for a while. I've seen pictures of her scans and been updated with latest developments. She's expecting a girl. I had plans of starting uni, going on a gap year and just travelling. I don't know where to begin with all of this. My family are strict and won't be too happy.

Question: Should I listen to my father or keep working?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:59 AM PDT

I've never really had a great relationship with my family. My moms side of the family were very troubled and dangerous at times. The issues ran deep and impacted my childhood immensely. I loved my mom, though. She was screwed up and struggled every day of her life. But I still loved her. I think she's the only person I ever really loved properly. She committed suicide 3 years ago. Then there's my father. He didn't want to know me when it wasn't convenient for him, but then he met his now wife and suddenly he wanted to be my father again, or claimed he did. After my mom died, he told the social worker he wanted me and even though I said I would prefer foster care, I was placed with him. Our relationship is...tricky. He knows I don't like, love or respect him and I'm certain he doesn't love me. Or at least not the way he should. He's doing this because it's what his wife wants. And she is always trying to make us a happy family and is always trying to push me into doing stuff for her kids. I hate it here. So I got a job a few months ago. The plan is to save up enough so I can move out as soon as I'm 18. I don't want to be here at all, but definitely not longer. The thing is, my father hates it, as does his wife. They want me to quit so I can pick them up from school and stay with them while the two of them work. He's making my life difficult because I have a job. But I want to keep working. I want out. And I'm not getting sucked into being big sis to these kids.

Question: Why am I so "attached" now after a death?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:57 AM PDT

My grandfather on my moms side died when I was 12. I was VERY VERY close to him & didn't really have a relationship with my grandmother. After his passing I became inseparable from my grandma. She honestly became my best friend & my hero. She outlived him by MANY years & passed away at 98 years old. I was 26 at the time. My dads side had a lot of "issues" he had a very "bad" relationship with his step mom & no relationship with his biological mother. He was EXTREMELY attached to his father. I didn't have a very close relationship with either grandparent on my dads side due to how far they lived from my family. I never talked to my grandma on my dads side ever unless it was to visit. My grandfather on my dads side passed in 2014 from an accident it was very sudden. So, I only have 1 grandparent left & it's my dads stepmom. I've become very attached to her & call her weekly to check up on her. I've also taken a few trips to visit her. She never treated me like I wasn't her "own" grandchild. I feel like I'm kinda "replacing" my grandma on my moms side with my "grandma" on my dads side. I think it makes her happy to hear from me & see me. Is this normal? After a death to kinda "latch on" to someone else??

Question: Is this make someone my cousin?

Question: I had to separate mum and sister from in a fight?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:45 AM PDT

My 5 and a half yrs older sister(I'm 16)annoyed the hell out of mum, mum lost it and she hit her and then they started hitting each other. I separated them while they werer yelling at each other. That was this morning and after school I went to grandmas place near school for sleepover and to study in peace. But I'm worried I should be home watching over them. Should I?

Question: What will my dad's wife think? She said I would be homeless Now I live with two girls...?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:43 AM PDT

I was living at my own house and my dads wife got mad about the smell of my house. It smelled too strong of some cali weed. I was smoking a lot back then and told her and she got mad. Especially that my house smelled strong of weed. She said I would be homeless and basically kicked me to the street. I made some money saved it up. This girl started to see me and when I was in the airport she happened to be there and my dad took us out to eat and gave me a ride back to her place. I still see this girl a lot. Now I am about to live with two other attractive girls and not be homeless. Will she be mad again? I never was even close to being homeless, she is just a rich white blond woman..........

Question: I can't wake up to my alarms?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:42 AM PDT

I used to always be able to wake up to my alarms but now I can't which has been preventing me from going to school on time and skipping a few classes. My parents work night so when they come home they're out and I'm responsible for waking myself and my brother up. What are some ways I can start actually waking up. Yes I know it's a stupid *** question but I'm desperate for help.

Question: My parents always compare me to my sister.,,?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:14 AM PDT

My sister is four years younger than me (she s eleven), my mom always says that she s the best in school unlike me, even though I study and try really hard in school my average in the report card was 96.5 and to me that is REALLY good, but apparently to my mom it isn t because my sister got 98.3 she s in sixth grade! She doesn t have physics or biology or chemistry and math is simple (i got a hundred in algebra and nintyeight in goemetry) but she only notices the bad marks and she doesn t remember the good things. My mom bought me a cheap perfume on my birthday but my sister got an iPad pro, my dad bought me an iphone but i payed half of its price (after three months of convincing him). my mother expects me to be just like my sister, outgoing confident, caring, loving, but I m not likeher! I bought her a necklace on mothers day that had a heart that you can open and inside is written "i love you" but she never wore it, but she still wears the bracelet that my sister bought her even after a year. Whenever i read a book she would yell at me for "reading all the time and never studying. I just pretend that these small things like my mother hugging my sister at random times while I m sitting next to her don t affect me and i act like i dont notice, but i do, and i hate it, i really wish i was like my sister.

Question: Mum and sister fought last night and I had to separate them?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:14 AM PDT

So, my 5yrs older sister is in college but she has mental problems. She needs hours and hours in bathroom a day, sometimes even 6-8hours. Mum told her numerous times not to wash her hair in the evening(we live in a small flat so its noisy and we can't sleep+mums under lots of stress) but she still did that yesterday. She didnt hurry up one bit. I woke up at three a.m. because they started shouting at each other. My sis insulted mum(though mum sometimes insults her) and mum hit her and then they started hitting each other, I jumped from bed and separated them. Today I wanted to stay at grandmas place close to school so I have peace and more time to study. But should I go home? I'm worried that it's gonna turn out bad if I'm not there.

Question: Should I say something to my sister (half-sister) about her husband?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 07:03 AM PDT

I have been staying at my sister's, since she and her husband are down to one car temporarily. They work in opposite directions, so my BIL takes mine and I carpool with my sister. I've been noticing--more so now--that my BIL doesn't treat my sister with respect. Last night, she was tending to my nephew (who is 18 months) and accidentally bumped his liquor glass, which he left on the floor. He barked at her to, "Get out and get showered." She refused to speak with him the remainder of the night, or this morning. I kind of want to say something to her. She went through this with her ex-husband. But he's a good father, and he does have a few moments that he treats her nicely. He left her slippers by her bedside this morning, and always puts her coffee on the dresser so she can have it when she gets out of the shower. Last night, she told me she felt like throwing his liquor bottle across the room or smashing it to the floor, but refrained from doing so because of the kids. Personally, I think she should take the kids and go. However, if she were to do that, she would forfeit any chance at child support for them. Her husband initially came to the US on a student visa, but has overstayed the visa. He does have good qualities; he just gets stupid when he's drinking, which has become more over the last few months. I think it's a way for him to cope with my sister's residual anger from her mother's death (we have different mothers, but the same father). She's NOT clueless. Everything she does is for her family. She never gets a free moment to even use the bathroom, much less to grab a bite to eat herself. But that's being a Mother! I'm biased, but I believe she's doing a great job, despite not having much help.

Question: I'm so so sick of it. Help me.?

I'm 15, a Muslim girl. My dad lives in a different country for work purposes and I live with my mom. I haven't seen my dad in 3 years. Alright. So, I live in a really small apartment with two siblings and it gets quite boring. We never go on trips we rarely go out as my mom don't know how to drive so we have to use taxi or public transport. 3 years like this it's been killing me because the main issue is i'm not allowed to go out with my friends even when they come and pick me up Bc im a girl??? Like i'm so fed up. EVEN if it's nearby i'm not allowed?? LIKE I have to beg her for about 5 days minimum for my mom to say yes. I have a friend's bday tmr I am going out to eat with her and my friends is picking me up. She said yes 4 days ago and I order a cake and such I even both brand new outfit because I got excited. Then tonight ( the night before) she is like "go ask ur dad" now this is not fair my elder sister who is not very much older than me can do whatever she likes, goes out whenever she likes.im so tired of getting treated like sh*t just because i'm not the eldest or the youngest. And just because i'm a girl. Please tell me how I can bloody kill myself?

Question: I don't want to grow up!?!?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 06:17 AM PDT

I'm 13, and have had this fear since I was 5. (yes, 5. I dreaded my birthdays) I hate the thought of growing up and paying bills and having a lot of responsibility. I'm already a full-time caregiver for my grandmother that lives with my family (both of my parents work, and are 53 and 54) so I'm really scared about leaving them. I don't want to leave my mom and dad when they're 60. It's really terrifying to me to even think about. Why do I have this irrational fear and how can I get over it?

Question: How to ask house guests to help pinch in with house work...?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 05:56 AM PDT

I m hosting a family I never met from South America for 8 weeks total ( they have been at my house for 4 already) while their only child 2yo have surgery/recover from hand surgery. Dad is leaving a week ( total of 4 weeks stay) and mom another 4 weeks longer. Dad helps with dishes and kitchen mom does not help much. Child has no routine, goes to bed around 10 -11 pm. They all stay in bed until 10- 11 am. I just wanted to ask politely for her to pinch in a little, like besides just gathering toys from the living room, I have 3 kids and a cleaner once every 2 wells only. I have driven them to outings, was able to get lots of clothes donated... Am I being unreasonable ? The child does not require major care, he can play, just needs helps feeding, no pain etc. I m not sure how to approach. There s a chance they will be back in 6 months for a second surgery They are not paying for stay of course, but helping with groceries.

Question: My mom threatened to beat me with a belt because I wasn t ready for school on time, even though I am sick with a head cold and an earache.?

She left me home from school because she thought I would make her late for work if she waited for me to put on my shoes. How do I make my mom feel bad?

Question: Is it bad to sometimes wish your parents would just divorce?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 05:26 AM PDT

My father ruins everything. I'm sick of him. He's not even a good dad to me anymore. All he does is complain about me, rarely talks to me, calls me names and always lets me know how "useless" I am. My moms annoying too and does get on my nerves like most of the time but I still love her, with my dad it's like the dislike I have for him just grows more and more everyday. Sometimes I think my life would be better w just me and my mom

Question: I kissed my aunt on her lips by mistake. What do I do? I feel embarrassed. Please help!?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 03:35 AM PDT

First of, I am 17 and she is 28. Today just a few minutes ago I was leaving her house so before leaving she was just giving me a kiss on my cheeks but some how at the same time I turned around to kiss her cheeks and by mistake we kissed on the lips. And we actually kissed twice or thrice like smooching by mistake before we realised what was happening. And thank goodness that only we were there. I feel so embarrassed. I said "sorry" and she smiled and said "its fine" but I cannot get over it. Please do not take me as a troll. Please help. This feeling is weird. Please help. And also she is my aunt by marriage. She is my father's brother's wife.

Question: What can I do? Strict parents not allowing me to live?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 03:33 AM PDT

Im nearly 17 years, I don t get along with my parents. I work some nights from 4:30 to 11pm, which I then go home after. On the weekend I would stay at my boyfriends house, my parents have giving my bedroom to their sister as she has separated from her partner and moved out, therefore I have to sleep on the sofa. Everytime my parents go out, I got to leave the house, if they re going town at 9, I have to be out of the house by then, or if they re going shop, I got to leave and wait outside for them to come back. And because I don t have my bedroom I got to wait in the morning to get stuff from my room to get ready for college as I couldn t do it the night before as I had work till 11 and my mums partner sister was in bed. This has gotten my stressed out that Im now staying round my boyfriends more often because I m hardly getting any sleep, I m becoming late to college, and they re Stressing me out. In addition to this, they re not allowing me to wash my clothes at all anymore! Before they said I have to do my own washing and now they won t let me at all!! What can I do? I m doing a levels and this is effecting it.

Question: Are my parents being fair?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 02:35 AM PDT

I got my first job back in January. Since then, my parents have been making me give them all of my hard-earned money to "pay them back for all the money I owe them". What they mean is that they think I should give them back the money that they spent on me from the day I was born right until the day I first got paid. This means food, clothes, toys, DVDs, CDs, books, electronics, birthday presents, Christmas presents etc. I said that it's stupid that they're making me pay back all this money, but they think it's fair. Are my parents being fair? Should I pay them back all that money?

Question: I feel insecure around my family.?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 02:29 AM PDT

I am a 20 year old guy who lives with my single mom(via anonomous sperm donor) and my 2 aunts, who all raised me together. I am 6'2 weighing 200 pounds. But my aunts are 6'5 weighing around 250 pounds and my mom is 6'8 weighing around 300 pounds. Its humiliating to be smaller than my mom and aunts and im embarrassed to go out seen with them. We are going on a family cruise, and they already bought my ticket. I dont want to go cuz its humiliating being shorter and smaller than 3 women in their 50s. My mom says im being ridiculous and said "you are a big guy urself, ur a giant among your friends and peers. You are the man of the family, and are protecting 3 people bigger than you

Question: I don't think parents believe me about be sexually abused since.I was 8 to 12 I'm not 16 and they just still to "him" why don't they believe?

Question: Forced to be homeschooled?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:48 AM PDT

So I've tried talking to my parents numbers of times to go to public school. They say it's a "bad influence", "peer pressure", "bad people there" etc. So I have to be homeschooled and private school is too expensive. I'm missing out on things that basically every teenager gets to do. I don't get to go to prom, see friends every day, interact with people, and do the things people take for granted every day. I'm trapped in my own home and I have barely any friends. I spend my whole day in my room. I feel like I'm living my life as a 16 year old in a box. They're has to be a way to persuade them because they need to stop being so against it. They aren't letting me live my life, I don't want to do any sports and I already do like 1 activity. But I still have no friends. Also, with school I could get good grades and be a more happy me. Trust me, it's annoying if you have to be around your family all day long. Please how do I persuade them to say yes to it?!?

Question: Never feel good enough?

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 12:33 AM PDT

Everytime I try, everything I do, it's never enough for anyone. I'm always the second choice for everything. My own friends like my sister better than me. At least a few of them do. I don't get where I go wrong. People may tell me they care about me but there's always someone they will always choose over me. This sounds like a cliche. But my own friends like my sister better than me, and I'm just treated like I'm nothing.

Question: How do i keep my sister from being so selfish?

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 11:39 PM PDT

it's my first time asking a question on this site, but i am at a complete loss. i by no means hate my sister, im closer to her than my other sister. but she doesn't listen when i offer adivce and get offended when i hint at the possibility of her not applying herself in school, or her being kinda selfish. or even for describing reason other members of the family have problems with her. I know she has a **** ton of baggage, and has issues with self esteem, and complains about her childhood all the time with me. But if she took five seconds she'd realize we went through the same shitty childhood. She acts like she deserves more than anyone else on this earth simply because of the shitty hand she was dealt. and i do my part to make her feel better about herself. but i dont know how much longer i can handle her getting angry at me for saying something slightly wrong. I dont know how much longer i can emotionally take care of someone that is so ungrateful. Im not that socially aware, so i thought it maybe that im doing something wrong. sometimes i figure im the one being the asshole, but i just dont know how to make he feel better about herself...

Question: My parents found it funny to ruin my life?

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 11:14 PM PDT

Okay, so I've been exhausted lately because of college admissions, and I came home and literally passed out numerous times from fatigue. To prevent this, I tried to sleep after school, and my family has helped me to wake me up (except at 3am since they find it funny when I panic) to finish my schoolwork. I have a massive scholarship that I had to apply for ON the date it was due (because it's an online form just selecting whether I confirm it or not), but I was waiting for it to open and fell asleep (out of a fatigue, again). I did this on the living room, where everyone was, and they KNEW I had that scholarship. So they kept me sleeping, and according to my sister, they even discussed it beforehand. No, it was not for jokes. Apparently, they were super serious about ruining my future. My parents and I have never had the best relationship, but I think they're taking it too far this time.
