I am 14 years old. I live with my mom, dad and brother. My parents are married. I love my mom and have a great relationship with her, but I hate my dad. My dad and I don t get along at all. I do not want to live with him anymore but I can t leave my mom. My dad is always bullying my mom, me and my brother by making rude comments or he gets really mad and starts throwing stuff. I am scared of my dad, because I m afraid one day he might hurt one of us. The problem is my mom doesn t see anything wrong with him, because he hasn t hurt us physically. Right now, technically both of my parents own me or have custody because they are still married. The question I am trying to ask is if there is any possible way only my mom can have ownership/custody of me? Like making him not be one of my legal guardians?

My mother is very manipulative and has a princess mentality. She had my father, her father, her brothers and now my brothers wrapped around her finger. This made it very awkward and difficult for me to try to exist in the family at all. Not only was it all her way, any time she and I had a fight she would cry to her dad and then my grandfather would be screaming at me, not letting me get away with anything. All she has to do is ask, and they will all do anything for her and defend her even when she's wrong. I wasn't included in my grandfather's obituary (nor were my brothers or cousins, to be fair, but still..it wasn't right,) yet she was included in my dad's even though they had been divorced for 20 years. Once she even left me behind because I was taking "too long" to get ready for a cousin's wedding! All of my brothers and she went but they left me without any way to get there. As a result of all of this unrest in our family dynamic, I moved 2,000 miles away and only see them on holidays, sometimes. I didn't invite any of them to my wedding. There's just too much resentment. I don't know why she had a daughter when she clearly can't handle having another female around to compete with for attention and affection from her family (I say her family because they never really felt like mine too. I feel she made sure of that.)

Mine was when my sister-in-law announced she was pregnant by writing in my Mom's Mother day card "Result of home pregnancy test ?". He was the first grand kid in the family.

I m doing research on Winnie Sprockett and want to know what little anyone has on the family background.

Out of nowhere this morning, I, my sister and my mother were pulled out of my apartment home. Then I asked her what happened. But she never answered until it was at night. She was never able to make payments on the rent after she spent a TON of $$ on my sister's sweet 16 party. We were left with a lot of leftover party food. I didn't forgive her that night and I made it clear. This was the second time she lied to me. First time was in winter of 2011, and I was in high school then. Now I'm just filled with rage at my mother - for spending all her $$ on my sister on what she wants, while forgetting that I also go to school. And I made it very clear that she never thought of what should've been coming first ever since she and my father divorced when I was 6. I also made it clear that I will not be helping her, since she could never help ME - a son, who's more closer to getting a degree than my high school younger sister and appealing to HER party needs VERSUS my school needs **AND** what she needed to pay off FIRST. I'm only able to attend a CC, but now I CAN'T because now we have nowhere left to go. The only $$ I'm able to make is from my independent freelance tutoring. Now I have nowhere else to go.... *pulled out of our apartment home *I didn't forgive her tonight I was angry while typing all this

This is going to be a lot because there is so much things my father has done. First off he is cheating on my mom and he even told my mom that he slept with other women . When my mom was pregnant with my brother he took a glass bowl and broke it on her head. I once woke up and heard my mom yelling help he s going to kill me, he had a knife to her stomach. He went to jail for one day and she bailed him out. I have a 8 year old sister and he has beat her, he beats me and tells me I m useless and stupid, once I got scouted my a modeling agency called Img and when I told him he made me cry and threatened to beat me and told me I wasn t special. He s incredibly stingy with money and my mom has two jobs to pay for all he should be paying for. He is addicted to porn my eight year old sister has caught him, I have caught him and my mom has caught him and my mom cries about it because she feels unloved and my earliest memory is waking up and hearing porn and I went to see what it was and I see my mom on the floor sweeping up broken cd peices bleeding and crying. She turned on the tv and saw his porn that he forgot to take out so she threw it on the ground and was bleeding. He never lets me go out, I have to beg him to let me. No one likes him. When our cousins stay with us he even beats them. I have a family friend staying with us and he beats her. There is so much more things that he has done that is too much to write about. He makes me cut my wrist and I wish he would DIE

Heyo. So, this is about my dad. Just a few hours ago, around 11 o'clock, my mom and dad went to visit my grandma in the hospital. But here's the thing, I was supposed to go. I didn't know that they were leaving at 11 so I wasn't ready and my dad started yelling at me. My mom told him, "I didn't get her up in time to take a shower or anything." And my dad goes, "I don't give a ****, she's not going." So they left and I started to cry.. They came home about 30 minutes ago, and my dad and I were on good terms and everything. And my nephew was sitting on a pile of clothes and I pushed him back. He's a 4yr old so he started to cry and create a scene even tho I barely touched him. And my dad goes "Tell him you're sorry!" And started to yell at me and I told my nephew I was sorry. And then my dad goes, "Go take a shower." And I said, "I just took one." And he got mad because I apparently back talked him. And then I got up and went to my room to calm down. I came out five minutes later and my dad comes out of his room to the kitchen. My bookbag was sitting on a chair. And my school hands out iPads and if they break, you have to pay. My dad picks up my bookbag (with the iPad in it) and puts it on the floor. I said, "Let me get that" and he gets all mad and throws my bookbag to me, (hitting my stomach) and goes "Take your f***ing sh*t! It doesn't belong here anyway!!!" I grab all of my stuff and go back to my room and shut the door and lock it. Thats where I am now. And my brother, sister, sister in law, and nephew and stepmom are all out there and I can hear them talking.. Acting like I dont even exist.. I dont know what to do, do I go out there? I just need advice.. Please..

Hi, I want to get my parents (grand parents and older brother) to let me stay out and go out whenever i want, until whenever i want. ''last night i came home this morning'' haha, And there is now a big fight, I'm thinking of leaving home for a few days, do you think that could help me get what i want, or what should i do? I don't think it's a big deal staying out thaat long , sometimes. all my friend have free will about that.

every day my mom constantly gets angry at me for something and it starts fights even when I remain clm and fix something like I'm asked. She took away a lot of privelages from me and told me I cant have it back till I stop giving attitude. I'm not even giving attitude! and I'm gonna cry thinking about how unfair this is! how can I avoid getting in fights so I can just be happy

Ok so my family and I went to visit some people that they were close to. We used to live by them and would always greet them whenever we saw them. We went by their home and went inside their home. They were treating my sister and mom very special and excluded me out. Whenever she was talking to me and my sister she would look at my sister for confirmation. It was like I wasn't standing there. I felt like it wouldn't make a difference or it would have been better if I didn't go. im the older one and people sometimes ask who's the oldest. She looks adorable and very innocent. (Everyone treats her better than me whenever I'm with her.) Then my mom said that one of us is going to be going to school around where we live. They all looked at my sister expecting it to be her. Then my said that my sister is going to be going to school around where we moved to and I will be going to school around where they live so I'll be close to them. I could see by their faces that they didn't want me coming to school around there or to be close. I saw the women's husband and he looked angry and his face looked different from before when my mom hadn't said I would be close to them because I would still be attending school by them. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. This makes me feel like I'm not appreciated and worthless and it even makes me hate myself. I'm 16 years old. What do you think of this situation and what should I do?

Hey guys so my adopted grandfather passed away recently and If that wasnt enough his family are being vultures about it. My mother and father are both in prison and have not been a part of my life for awhile. My grandfather decided to adopt me and has raised me since I was young. Unexpectedly, last week he passed away and just so happened to not have a living will. He stated many times in person that he wanted to leave me everything, as I m the only one who has lived with him for many years. With no living will, his relatives are doing one of the most messed up things I ve ever heard of. They came over to my grandpa s house last week with padlocks and attempted to lock the house up so that I couldn t get back in saying they are going to take everything because I m "not blood " I was legally adopted by him.. please help me if they lock up the house I will be out on the streets.. thank you in advance.

When I say something my parents say I'm giving attitude and all I was doing was talking. I'm about to go jump off a cliff because I'm tired of crying every day when my parents take there anger out on me. For example my mom got angry cuz my sister weighs 105 pounds at 5 foot and she is 5.2 at 106 pounds. she said she shouldn't weigh as much as her and she is fat. So I interrupted her and said kids these days are more than that and its average so she is skinny, and ur just underweight. and she said I gave her attitude. !!!! she said I interrupeted and that's attitude. Now what the heck is the definition of attitude cuz I know interrupting and attitude are COMPLETELY different things!!!!!

So she got mad and told us we're not allowed to leave the house to get her presents, and she even to me specifically that if I get her something she's gonna rip it up and take away my phone. (One is older than me and two are younger) So none of us got her anything, and she's been treating me like utter crap all day and resting my brothers like angels. "You're so horrible you never got me anything blah blah" "you're a piece of **** all you care about is yourself" "When you're older your sister in laws will be the ones getting me all the gifts while you'll be getting me nothing" "you **** go fold the laundry" "you're such a **** you can't even get me a gift" Even after telling her numerous times that it's HER fault because she wouldn't let us leave the house to get her a gift and because she said she would rip up whatever I got her, she continues swearing at me and calling me a piece of **** numerous times. And yet she's been treating my brothers like ANGELS the whole of today. In fact, my older brother has his own car (and I don't even have a license) so he could've went out and got her a gift but he didn't, yet she's been treating me like crap all day. She even took my little brothers out to their friends' house. I really can't take it anymore. Why is it that she's treating them like angels when they didn't get her anything but she's treating me like ****? Even though I'm the one who was told she would rip up my gift?

I even caught him in the mirror rapping to himself like he was 15

I m 14, all of my family is part of the KKK, which they have rallies every 2 weeks, I DO NOT want to be a part of this, a lot of my friends are also in the KKK, I really don t care much about other races, but I don t hate them, I m scared to say I don t want to be a part of it. And I know the KKK is not illegal so i can t tell the police about it, I really don t know what to do...

My mum drinks beer everyday, says it makes her sleep better. When she's drunk, usually she is before she goes to bed, she shouts absolute rubbish in her sleep. "Shout" in the sense meaning loud, really freaking loud. This happens 10-15 minutes after she's asleep, when she falls into deep sleep. She slaps her sole or palm of the foot, whatever it's called, with her other leg. Says she feels something running or crawling inside her skin. She yells at my dad and some unknown woman/women (My dad isn't related to that woman) and other times she's talking in a lovely way with her friend (my gf's mom). She yells *****, whore, and really rubbish stuffs at the woman. Sometimes she gets tired of it and sits on her back trying to get back to conscious. Many times I've tried asking who is she yelling at, but she really ignores as if she doesn't hear me and goes back to sleep and everything starts all over again. This goes around for 30-45 minutes to about 1 and a half hour every night. And when she's not drunk, it's so difficult for her to get sleep that she forgets to yell. She's had a difficult past and she doesn't want to let it go. My gf's mom has tried talking to my mom in letting her past go, but she really clings on to it. I've got suggestions from them to take her to a doctor but she doesn't think it's anything serious. And here I have absolutely no idea what she actually sees in her dreams that makes her go furious. I really have to know what's going on. thanks

Hi, my name's Mark, I'm from the south of England so is my family, and about four years ago I moved to Scotland. I chose to go here because I wanted to go to college here since some my ex best friends decided to go here, I chose to become an engineer or that was what i chose. Anyway I haven't left my room for almost 4 years and haven't talk to my family for nearly a year, since we had an argument over the phone last year Christmas of them coming to mine but i didn't want them to. Now i think it's time to ring up and apologize ; try to meet up with them in the south.The only problem is, since i locked myself up and not spoken to anyone in over a year i lack alot of confidence to speak to someone on the phone especially in person. And for anyone wondering how i payed my rent for my flat I saved up a lot of money before i left school because in year 9 I got offered several small part time jobs from my parents friends. And sold alot of my video games that was worth quite a bit of money like the legend of zelda NES that my father tried to throw away. So anyway what I want to know is how do i arrange to meet up with my parent and how do i talk to them? Many thanks, Mark.

Recently me and my mom have been getting into huge arguments and last night she triggered the worst one. I was in the living room with my grandmother talking about some TV show she was watching and my mom came in screaming at her. After s few exchanges of words my mom slapped my grandmother and then that's when I stepped in and told her that that was unacceptable behavior and that she should apologize to her. My mom then started yelling at me and calling me a "horrible son" and a "dumb bastard who won't amount to much" and then my grandmother tried defending me by telling her to calm down and then she slapped her again. That's when I stepped up and shoved my mom and told her to pick on someone her who can actually fight back. Then that's when she got angry and tried punching me which I did my best to avoid but when she kicked me, I lost my temper and grabbed her and slammed her into the wall then threw her down to the floor and got ontop of her to hold her down. After about a minute I got up and left the house and stayed at my friend's house for the night which is where I am now and now I have no idea what to do now. I left my backpack and textbooks at home and I'm afraid to go home because she's obviously unstable and I'm afraid she'll try to stab me or worse.

Okay so today is Mother's Day and right now I'm at the pool. It's like 100 degrees in Florida and it's so frickin hot. I hate the summer and hot weather. My parents are getting mad at me cause I might get a geat stroke. My vision is going out and I can't breath right, I'm shaking. I don't want to ruin my moms day but they are getting mad at me. What do I do? I love my parents dearly but it's not my fault I'm gonna faint. I don't have water either

I wanna stay at her house and I told her I couldn't afford it and want to take the 30 day notice back, can I? I'm not a freeloader Bc I help with stuff and never asked me or my nephew for rent before. or should I just go to craigslist and find a roommate?

Here was the background if anyone cares: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160507073521AAwkuZk So we got in a fight and she said that if I get her a present, even if it's a card, she's gonna rip it up and take away my phone. So, I did not waste my time and money so that she may throw away my gift and take away my phone. So she saw her friends posting their presents, so she tells me "all my friends' kids got them presents and YOU didn't get me anything" and I'm like "yeah maybe because your friends didn't tell their kids that they would rip up their gifts" and she's like, "let your friends teach you about getting their moms gifts on mother's day" and I said "how about their moms teach YOU how to treat your kids" And yeah she was basically treating me like crap today. And the other thing is, none of my brothers got her anything, and all of them even FORGOT it was mother's day (when they heard me telling her happy mother's day they all realized they had forgotten and told her) and yet she's been treating them like angels. That's probably due to the fact that they never get her anything unless I get her something, and since I never got her something they didn't bother to get her anything either. But still, just because I'm always the one who organizes mother's day, she puts all the blame on me and doesn't even tell my brothers anything. And it was her fault in the first place for threatening to throw away my gift if I got her one.

She is always so angry on me and sad because im ****** stupid and because i dont pay much attention in school. She hates that i wear makeup.. im 17, she is always in a bad mood because of me because im stupid and dont do the things she tells me to. Because i usually choose the wrong path and follow my own thoughts and later regret it so she tells me i told you so. But she never thinks that maybe i was given a lesson by my mistake. Nooo its me being stupid not doing everything she wants me to. I admit that i listen to myself and then fail but whats the point of being a teen then? She doesnt even want to tell me why she wanted me to be born. Idk did she expect to give birth to an angel?

I honestly hate my whole family. I hate my little brother because he never listens to me, and he never gets in trouble. He laughs at my weight (which i don't are about). My mom.. my mom is a *****. She is rude and I hate her. She yells at me then she gets mad at the littlest things. She is always like " You will never be able to do this" then she takes it back. My dad is ok, but he is rude every now and then, but I love him the most :) He makes me happy. I can't tell them "I HATE YOU". I am just waiting for the day I don't have to live here anymore. I have 5 years before I am 18. T-T They aren't abusive but I hate them :) I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW I AM UNGRATEFUL "MC" I am not depressed, and I am not abused. They aren't mean everyday, it is just sometimes... you know? I have a good life, my friends :) I love my family, i just cant deal with them sometimes.

for the past 2-3 months I've been paying my sis n bro in law to stay at their house. I wanna stay at my dads but he asks me for $250 and keeps my money and puts it away when someone could take and steal it. I wanna also stay at my sisters house but they ask me for $300 and won't lower the rent to at least $250. I've been staying there lately and love being with the kids (my niece and nephews). my younger nephew there is a brat with me sometimes. and my big sis asked me for my 30 day notice Bc I told her Tht I can't afford to pay rent there anymore. she wanted me to pay her this month still and not have to pay her next month or stay. before she never asked me or my oldest nephew for rent and now they are, why? they're making $600 off me and my nephew when they have jobs and got a new landlord when I don't have to pay her Tht money and Tht responsibility is with her and her landlord not us...so idk why she would keep asking and taking my money. And saying I'm not welcome at her house just Bc I wouldn't give her money for the month until she started being nice when I gave her money. when I helped around the house, with the kids, cleaned, and bought dinner and food sometimes too. why can't I stay there or somewhere without us having to give money? Like the way it was before? I wish the old landlord who was nicer and better would come back to make rent lower

I'm seventeen years old and my younger sister and I wanted to my mom breakfast in bed for mothers day and my mom knew about this so she was expecting this. Ultimately we ended up waking up really late because we were really tired. Sundays is the only day I get to sleep in, I had a regents exam AND an SAT yesterday plus everyday of the week I go to bed at 1am and wake up 5. Now, I wake up and my mom is really mad and pushing things saying that she would've starved waiting for us and other things. I try to ask her if she still wants breakfast and she said no. Then when my younger sister goes to make her some breakfast I tell her no she doesn't want anything and we end up arguing. Then my mom goes out into the kitchen and starts yelling at me and blames everything on me & ends up hitting me repeatedly. Then she said it was the worst mothers day ever. I feel really bad because Im broke as hell and didnt get to make her breakfast. My father is supposed to take her out tonight after work as a surprise so I hope he's still able to do that. I'm crying right now what I should I do? Should I go out and try to get her some flowers or something?

So for the last little while, my mom has been making excuses to leave my dad, my sister, and me at home, and go places. She always says stuff like "I'm just going out with my friends," or "It's not like we ever do anything anyway!" and just leaves. Then, like last night she comes back home really late, at like 3am, and when we ask her about it she gets really defensive, and says "I was just having fun, get off my back!" She acts like a teenager, and doesn't do stuff around the house, or spend time with our family. She always preches that she wants more family time, and when we plan something, like all of us going skiing, she bails out, and leaves us. I'm 15 years old and the older sibling, so I have to take of a lot of stuff around the house that a highschool kid shouldn't be required to do. My dad also has to take on a lot more too. I've tried to bring it up to my mom, but she just gets really defensive, and yells at me,she does the same thing with my dad, then makes an excuse to leave somewhere. My parents have been married for 21 years, and I really don't this to ruin things between them. What should I do?

Yeah, that's all they do. From girls to adult women. Pretend to have cramps and pain during periods. (A little bit of blood, oh come on!!!) Always annoyed and moaning because "she didn't speak to me" Or "You didn't say I looked nice" Crying for no reason during these period fantasies. If their little toe hurts, they moan for a week. They make up nonsense in their head, and then worry about it!!! Just a big bluff for sympathy, from Fathers, boyfriends, then husbands. Moan, moan, moan. On and on......

Im having problems with my own biological mother and 21. I was abandoned by both real parents and left with this one woman who took care of me until the age 16 where my real mom got custody of me. It was very awkward and i was so angry with her. So while I was going to high school back then, i was also working part time just to help her. She used to and is still is, complaining that I dont help her, that im so lazy, im so very cold hearted towards people, why dont i smile, why cant I work until 12pm since she doesnt want me around the house. Ive moved out 8 months ago to live alone but she guilt tripped me with my half siblings and how my younger autistic brother needs me and that she cant support him and both my sisters alone. So I moved back in and shes still giving me crap. I wonder wtf is up with mothers abandoning kids and then deciding to just show up and be bossy when they shouldnt. Im almost finished with college as well and attending the police academy.

Mind the question mark tho lol but u all definitely deserve it!!!

So am I just annoying for wanting some of my moms attention? I just want a simple conversation with her. But every time I try talking to her, she yells at me, telling me to go away. I'm 15. Am I too old to want to talk with her? I have no friends. We don't even eat together. She eats in her office. She talks to my older sister just fine. It's just me that's the problem.

I'm 19 years old and in college. I have a part-time job, but I don't make enough to live on my own. The other day I was arguing with my mom because I overslept and missed my 7AM class. She told me I was grounded. I thought she was kidding at first (she hasn't grounded me since I was 16), but then she told me to hand over my phone and car keys. I didn't want to get into anymore trouble with her so I did. Can she even do this?

I'm 16 and she's 37 and has one son which is 10. I email her almost daily about casual stuff. We have a close relationship at school. I'm attached to her sort of like a son. And I call her mom in emails and she is ok with it. I made her a card last friday for mothers day and I put in stuff about my parents neglecting me and stuff (She already knows because I told her a while back). And how much she means to me and that she is the reason i come to school because I know she is always there for me. I also said she is like a mom i never had and that her son is really lucky to have her as a mom. Here's the convo Me : 🎉🎉 Mom did you read my card yet? sorry for the bad handwriting too!! I tried to write neater for you but it didnt really work out too well :( Her :Thanks Travis! I did read it. You are too nice, child. Thank you for all of your kind words. I am glad I can be a light in your day. You are a great student and kid. I am enjoying getting to know you this year. Hope you made your Mom a card too! I want her to see me sort of like a 2nd son. I have many family issues and stuff :/ and she is one person that makes me forget about them.

As most of you may know, today is mothers day. This morning, me and two of my sisters each gave my mother 100 dollars for breakfast with the rest of the family and to spend as she pleased, while my third sister was still at work from working the night shift. Since my third sister wouldn't make it back in time to give her share, but had promised to do so, I told my mom that I would give her another hundred dollars and she could just give me what my sister was to give her. She looked at me like I had six faces and told me that she couldn't believe I was asking for money back. What!? I was being nice, offering to make up the difference and pay her what she would've gotten originally and she has nerve to get upset because she can't keep my sisters portion plus any extra? I'm like I have bills to pay too, you can't just take all my money. She was mad that my sister wouldn't make it back to give her the money before she had to leave for breakfast but she refused to take another dime from me, stating that she shouldn't have to pay back. Her stingy greed has gotten me kinda frustrated & annoyed and suddenly I feel like I wasted my money giving it to a person with such qualities. Should I take it back?

Please help me, I'm really crying as I'm typing this. I'm very sensitive about my body. I am overweight because when I was little, I ate a lot when I was depressed and bored. Yeaturday last night, I was going to my room to sleep and I said I wasn't eating dinner. My mother said "Yes, because whenever nobody is around you go into the fridge and eat all the junk food like a fat pig." I don't do that and it is my brother who does that. I told her I don't do it and she laughed and said "Yeah right. I have seen you." And I got so hurt and I went to my room and cried and self harmed. I'm not going to eat anymore because that's apparenly what she wants. My dad and brother just watched.Today, I did not eat any breakfast (yesturday I stopped eating at 4 PM) And my dad came into my room and I tried shoving him out because I was angry. He came in and said that if I disrespect my mother again, he's going to kick me out of the house. (I'm 13) And he's kicked me out for an hour when I was 5. I'm thinking of just leavinf the house and walking to the park without him knowing. When I asked him how I disrespected my mom, he said "Because you got angry at her for stating the truth." Please help me.

My parents have never been too fond of me leaving the house on my own and for that reason the only time that I get to be outside and alone is when I'm walking home from school. The only reason why I'm allowed to walk home is because they aren't out of work when I'm out of school. It honestly bums me out when the only time I get to go outside and play in an open area is when my mom takes me to the park. Even then I don't really get to have fun for more than 10 minutes because she gets bored and irritated. I'm nearly fifteen and I figured that - being less than four years away from being an adult - I would be granted some sort of freedom. I've tried talking to my parents about loosening the leash they have tied on me, but whenever I try to they either avoid the topic, or bring up the possibility of some crazy rare scenario happening. (i.e. I'll get kidnapped and sold as a slave, I come home a drug addict..) Whenever I deem their scenarios unlikely, they always reply with "It's not a problem until it happens". I respect that their worried for my safety, and I would be too if it were my child, but the fact that I'm not allowed out anywhere unless it is highly supervised by adults has caused me to spend my days locked in my room, using my laptop. I honestly don't understand what I could've done to lose their trust, but I feel myself falling deeper and deeper into a pit of loneliness and I just want to be able to get out of my house and try and recoup the childhood I never had.

My mother and I baby sit my little niece once a week at my sisters house and previously the past month her mother in-law has been showing up unannounced every single week around an hour or earlier before it s time for us to leave when my brother in-law gets home. For reasons I can t control I don t like his mother, she seems strange, and not very appealing but I always say hello. Anyways I feel very uncomfortable when she comes over here and feel like our personal time with the baby is over and I have to watch her talk to my mom or play with the baby until it s time to leave. I try to watch tv or go on the computer but I still can t stand the fact that s she s over here when she can come over to my sisters house any other day of the week when my brother in-law gets home from work. This is making me feel really angry and weird that she is doing this and wish she wouldn t bother us again. I told my sister about this but she doesn t have the guts and is too shy to say anything to her husband. My mother doesn t want her over there either or talk to her but she puts up with it any way. The mother in law also is there and stays late for dinner when my sister gets home which bothers her as well but again she won t stick up and say anything. At this time the mother in-law has a health issue and is incapable of taking care of the baby (as I m told) so leaving an hour early is not a option, but she can drive a half hour from her house and barge into our private day with the child. What should I do?

Any mothers out there today whose kids did not wish them happy Mother's Day? I am here to wish you all the happiness you deserve on this day and every day! You deserve it!

Ok so my birthday is at the end of this month. Two days after my birthday is a family friends birthday. He's celebrating his bday on my birthday. So my family was like "Don't make plans because we have to go to his party" so I was like ok. I was a little upset because well it's my birthday ya know? So then I was like ok, we can celebrate mine on memorial day. But my parents have friends coming down from New York and those people are my aunts bestfriends. Anyway, I want to go to the Biltmore Estate with my family but my aunt said "If John and Callie don't want to go I'm not going to force them, so don't get me ticket". I said ok but that legit hurt me. Like ok its me, my brother, both my parents, my cousin and his mom that do everything together. When we lived in Jersey they lived right in front of us then we move to NC and they live in our neighborhood. So I just wanted to ask if its fair for me to be upset because my family doesn't want to celebrate my birthday. I feel like I'm of inconvenience to them because of my birthday. Am I being selfish?

me and my boyfriend was talking trying to come up with boy names and i really like the name dodge or Chrysler for a boy but my boyfriend does not want to name our son after car compines. so which one do you like and what unqice names would you use.

They always say that I never help out around the house and just call me a pig and an ignorant *****. About a month ago my mom called me a selfish ignorant ***** cause I never help out and only look out for myself. But I guess that's not true, I always put my friends before me and try to help out around the house but I can't ever find the motivation or when I do I just don't think about it. They are constantly yelling and it gives me panic attacks. It just makes my depression worse. My depression got really bad when my friend moved in January ever since then I've cut. No one knows I cut, parents haven't even noticed.they haven't noticed my anxiety either. My mom doesn't believe in anxiety she just tells me don't be like that. So Thursday night my mom flipped out on me for eating in my room cause I'm not supposed to. So Friday I asked my mom for thirty dollars to go to the school dance she asked when it was due and I said today. She then proceed to call me ****** stupid. I got mad and told her I just wouldn't go. She gave me the thirty dollars and I said thank you, she tried to hug me but I go up and walked away. She called man an ignorant *****. Today my dad got mad at me for that. He says that he doesn't care about me and called me a *****. I've very negative and sarcastic. Both me and my sister have adhd but hers is worse I guess. I've always had this petty jealousy thing with her cause then they've given her more attention and expect less from her.what should I do?

My ex and I divorced 5 years ago and we both re-married other people in the last two years. His new wife is rude to my son and myself yet my ex refuses to do anything about it. It has become so bad that his teacher has asked if things are ok at home. I have attempted to talk to her about this but she is a bitter young woman who is extrememly jealous of my connection to my ex husband; albeit through our son only. She is extremely material and petty when it comes to my son bringing things here with him and will call me 5 times a week to remind me to send it back there with him or to accuse me of losing it intentionally. I have asked both she and my ex that she not call me or come to my home however she has not yet gotten the hint. What would you suggest I do?

Me and my step dad have arguments legit ALL THE TIME, and even on mothers day weekend, the only thing my mom asked for was peace and quiet, and we literally spent the whole weekend arguing with him!! He is so immature and just a jerk. A 42 year old man arguing with a 13 year old girl 24/7!! thank goodness I'm at my dads house and I go to Michigan to see my actual dad in spring break and summer! (I live in Florida) he always picks fights and he once made fun of my dad for not having the best job and being broke! I know he was sort of drunk but he would of said it anyway! He gets to see his parents a couple days every week and I just started seeing my dad twice a year last year! and he has the nerve to say that about him when I'm not even 5 feet away! Once I was arguing with him while eating dinner, they eat in the living room and I eat at the kitchen and I didn't like what was made, but I was eating it, my mom even said it wasn't good when she made it. and my step dad was Sooo immature and he literally THREW A ONION RING AT ME ACROSS THE ROOM AND SAID 'Here's an onion ring, enjoy!' as a fat joke! He always criticizes everything I do! when I'm on the iPad "Ohh she's always on the iPad, she needs to get off her a** and do something for a change!" and when I do the dishes, "Oh what is that spot on the plate?" and he purposely pretends to go to the bathroom that's like not even 5 feet next to my bedroom door and says to my mom "Hey babe! I'm gonna do the dishes!" loud enough for me to hear and then I get up and go to the sink to do the dishes because is he gonna have a tantrum like always, and then he sees me doing the dishes and is like "I'll do them, it's no big deal" and I say "No, I'm doing them" and HE REPEATS HIMSELF LIKE 5 TIMES WHEN IM SAYING THE SAME RESPONSE AND I START GETTING AGGRIVATED AND ANGRY and then he is like "Don't have to give me an attititude/be mad at me" BUT HE WAS CONSTANTLY SAYING THAT !! Also, when I talk to my mom about it, she says "He's done a lot for us, if it wasn't for him, we would still be living at nana and papa's house" and I'm just thinking 'I'd honestly rather live there because I love my nana and papa they are amazing, rather then having arguments every single day with an immature 42 year old that acts like he's on his high horse all the time.' and nobody ever listens to me! They always take his side no matter what! and my mom WITNESSES it, I mean yeah, she defends me SOMETIMES when she's also In the argument (most of the time) but it never helps! I can never win with him! There are a lot more but I've already ranted enough, please answer :/

Ok so I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible I'm nearly 18 and have been dealing with unsupportive parents for the biggest part of my life, to put it as simple as I can they're basically very old fashioned ignorant people. They believe a woman belongs in the kitchen and my freedom is very limited. I always wanted more out of life, I want to experience it and live it to the fullest. They're not with that. Obviously you'd think 'just get out of the house when you can' it's not that easy. Example: I want to go study/work in England in the near future after I got my education sorted in my current country which is very close to the UK anyways. They don't support me in that. They believe "a woman can't travel/be far away from home without a man". I shuddered just saying that, it's so disgusting of them to think so lowly of women's capability and of me personally. I have been unhappy for the longest time because I'm getting older I want to be able to make my own choices, nothing too ridiculous like I want to respect my parents but it's hard too when they continue treating me like **** no matter what. They basically want me to be someone I'm not and they expect me to live up to their expectations without being reasonable whatsoever and since I've been partly doing whatever I want lately I haven't been speaking to them. Is there anyone out there who has any good advice, useful tips or did anyone go through something similar? I'd love to hear xx

A few hours ago, me and a few of my friends were having a water fight in my back garden. We used water balloons and water guns for it. The temperature is between 25°C and 30°C, so it's perfect weather for it. When we were having the water fight, I threw a water balloon at my friend, but he dodged out the way and it accidentally hit my mum who just came outside. She was furious. She told my friends to get out of the house. Once they left she started shouting at me, saying I am immature and a brat. I said that we were only having fun, but she said "is throwing balloons at your mum fun? I don't think it is!" I said it was an accident and that I'm sorry. She said that I deserve to be punished for what happened. She made me clean the kitchen which was a mess and soon I have to clean her en suite bathroom. She's now thinking of grounding me for a week. Did I deserve to be punished? Do I deserve to be grounded? Rick and Bob, I'm not American. Us Brits already had Mother's Day back in March.

There's no other person on Earth like a mother, in my opinion. How do you show your love and appreciation towards her? A gift? Something homemade? A card? I personally wrote an intimate letter expressing my feelings I have towards her as her son. What do you personally like to do on Mother's Day?

About an hour ago I was sitting on our couch when my parents came up to me and told me everything. They didn t tell me why or when but they said they were thinking about a divorce. I am fifteen and have an older sister. I don t think our family could live through a divorce and my parents have been together for twenty five years! I know most answers will be answered saying there s nothing I can do but I am willing to try anything. I always joked about terrible things like why are you with each other if you fight so much but that s just me joking and now that it s really happening I can t handle it and I realize it s not funny at all. Please help me.

I'm a thirteen-year-old boy. My sister told us that she was pregnant with a girl, and my 10-year-old cousin get very excited which is understandable, because there are a lot of boys in my family, and it kinda gets tiring. But the problem is that I'm afraid that my cousin might wanna spend a lot of time with her after she comes, because she visits my sister more than I do. I wish I could visit her as often, but I can't, because I'm too focused on high school, and after school clubs, and stuff like that. Anyways, I'm afraid that my niece would become like my cousin, because my cousin is selfish, stubborn, arrogant, mean, bossy, spoiled (sorry cuz, but i had to say it), and she always answers her parents and disrespects them. If her parents don't do what she wants, she would annoy them until they give it to her. Her parents let her do whatever she wants, and they don't try to stop her. I don't want my niece to be like her. Should I do something about it, or am I being too immature and I should just let it be?

I got suspended from college and financial aid because I couldn't keep my grades up. I was so lost and didn't know what to do. I had a part time job when it happen. I was a bather at petsmart. I didn't tell my parents because I was so scared. They think I'm graduating next week with my sister but even my sister doesn't know. It took me a while to finally figure out that working win animals is what I want to do. I've been working at petsmart ever since and they offer to send me to grooming academy in February to be a Pet Stylist and so I accepted the offer. It was a one month program and now I'm almost done with my training so it's not like I haven't been doing anything. They just dont know that I've been going to grooming academy because they think I'm graduating. I do have loans out from school but I'm paying them by myself so it's not like there paying it for me. I have to tell them because time is running out and I'm so nervous and scared. How should I tell them? What should I say? I'm just so nervous.

Besides, rape, childhood abuse, poverty, domestic abuse, parents are divorced, parents drink, , etc.

Mum and dad don't allow them but go through my things often how do I hide them when I buy them and they insist on doing my laundry!

I was married to a European man the 1st time and had a child with him. His family were great to me and I could be myself around them, etc. We divorced after he cheated w/someone else (his new wife now). His family never supported his behavior. My 2nd husband is great and treats me so much better, but I really dislike his family. His dad is a finance executive and is extremely judgmental and narcissistic. He cursed @/threatened me to my face years ago and my hubby did nothing. My mother in law also brags about her chest size and her husband's $ (they both brag about this actually)... They are also obsessed w/their teen boys sports games and tournaments. I just cannot accept them. When my ex in laws are around our family I am very comfortable but when my new in laws are around I am on edge and become this angry/antisocial person that I really am now. Why is this and what can I do?

the fact that now she is very conservative and strict with her daughters sexuality means that she was a hooker and a slut when she was young?Why would she do this?

I am about 5'1 and 135 lbs. Yesterday- we had a BD party for my oldest son from my 1st marriage. My 1st husband's family came over and his bro's wife is tall and thin. My grandma (90s) started asking my son's aunt how she got so skinny and how her stomach is so flat. Then she started saying "see there! you need to lose that fat stomach of yours and get skinny like her!" She explained to my grandma that she runs 5-10 miles per day. I just had my 3rd baby 3 mos ago, she said that is not an excuse. She also said that I should have had a flat stomach a week after the baby was born. Is she right? That I should have already lost that weight? My ex's bro tried to tell my granny that this was baby belly but she didnt believe him. Why does she do this?

Hi I was sleeping last night and my dad found these pictures on my phone..like gross pictures that my friend had sent to me I'm extremely embarrassed he said that he just woke up in the morning and he found those pictures on HIS phone which is a lie..and now he saw those pictures and I'm shaking cause it was such an awkward convo between us help pleaseeee...

My Aunt has a hoarding problem. She keeps just about every stray dog there is and she wont stop bringing them in. We had about 21 dogs of all sizes in one small apartment sized trailer. I tried getting child services on this to see if I could lessen the number of dogs we had, and when my aunt found out it was me who called them, she shunned me. She convinced the whole family that I wanted child protective services to come and take us away. For a whole month, everyone kept bringing up the fact I wanted to "Ruin our family" When I simply wanted to fix our home for the better. Now it is a year later. My uncle realized me and my aunt were not getting along a months after it happened. He told us to apologize to one another and forget about it. I have tried my best to look at the dogs we still have with love and care. But even when I am doing nothing but loving on the dog she will point out how I hate dogs and asks me to never speak badly behind her back ever again. I was doing nothing wrong and here she is pointing this out to me. I don't think it is too fair for me to have my past shoved in my face. I walk away saying "What I was doing had nothing to do with that, I thought Uncle told us to forget about it," But even as I start walking away she is mumbling things under her breath and saying that she "see's how I truly am." She gets mad when I talk about getting rid of the dogs for the better and she gets mad. I ever look at a dog in a happy way and she goes off on me.

She lets the (two) kids walk all over her, she's stay-at-home but I do 90percent of the chores, and the chores she does do take 10x longer to do than they should (one load of laundry takes 2 weeks to get put away if it ever does, unless I do it), every month I throw away half of what's overflowing in our fridge because it's leftovers that have started growing things or unfinished sippy cups of milk that are weeks old, she can't seem to talk about anything other than how "hard" this is, she dismisses my inquiries about how she spends her time with "I have no time!" but has watched the entire Netflix collections of Property Bros., Fixer Upper, Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, Cupcake Wars, Cake Boss, Mad Men, and MASH through at least twice, sometimes as many times as 5, and I try to talk to her about this stuff but she guilts me into silence with lines like, "You don't say things like this to a mother!" And I'm supposed to spend a day celebrating her?
