I am my brother's younger sister. Most school nights I need his help with my home work. However most nights he locks his bedroom door and makes me wait until he is through spanking the monkey to help me with my homework. How can I convince him that helping me with my homework is more important than him spanking the monkey?

Last weekend I ran into my brother in law at the the movie theater he looked really nervous didn't know why till I saw his date which was not my sister I told him I was going to my sister. We'll he just laughed and said she won't believe you anyways? What should I do?

okay so i got grounded, and my parents said i can have it back but we need a compromise. my grades are ok, but they really want me to study and they said if i want it back we need to get on a middle ground. whats a good compromise. ex. giving my phone up after school for two hours.

I wish I could defend myself, but with her I never can't or all my teeth will be "knocked out". I have 2 other older sisters, im the youngest. Me and my oldest sister (21) live with my mom and my dad. Im the youngest (15). Ive always had problems with my mom, and the days that I do, I have thoughts of running away or killing myself. My mom argues with me over the littlest stuff. I feel really controlled, not over my actions or responsibilities, but over my pride and my body. My mom argues with me over the littlest things. She makes me feel insecure about my natural beauty, and with the way I do things. I have to fake smiles or I will look spoiled antisocial etc. My mom gets madand harsh when I like to go natural. On new years Eve i decided to go natural, when we celebrated at my aunts house. I was feeling myself until my mom came in my room telling me I should put my hair in a bun cause my hair doesnt look good. i disagreed and said I looked pretty with my curly hair and wanted to keep it curly and she got mad and started yelling and arguing saying "you look like a little depressed *****!" I cried then got called a cry baby and to grow up. My mom makes me feel insecure. She wants me to look and dress a certain way that I dont think is me. When shes mad at me for little ****, she throws away some of the stuff i buy with my money. I cant sit and talk to her about anything EVER because when i try to she negatively says the most. I cant ever defend myself with words to my mom.

i know this might not sound like a horrible problem but i have a PS4 and my brother plays it. Ok no big deal right? but the problem is he plays it when I m not home or at school or while I m sleeping without asking and it is my PS4 like i bought it with my own money. My mom won t tell him to ask me first because she s like he does so much for you and you should let him play and every time i say its my personal console and its not a family console she s like i don t care he s your brother and he s good to you. Now my question is do you think its wrong for me to get mad at him for playing my PS4 or is it right of me to get mad at him because he needs to ask first and its my own console?

My sister-in-law is only nice when around our family. But every time I see her outside of that she either looks the other way if she sees me or doesn't bother with me in any way unless she needs something. And every time my brother hurts my feelings in front of her she gives a dirty look & doesn't say a word to me and leaves and I never hear from her. It's happened so many times. Also, If anyone does anything with her, she never gives them credit. If you fall in front of her or something bad happens to you, she disappears. Honestly, maybe it's not bad intentions...just the fact that she's just not caring at all.

A little background- long story short my dad wasn't around much growing up and when he was he was drunk and scary. He left when I was 16 and we were estranged until I was 20. My stepmother about 10 years older than me. She is also the "home wrecker" for lack of better words, but my parents needed to get divorced anyways. My dad has really changed and they seem happy and I have come to like my stepmother, even though I've only known her for a few months. She gave birth to my sister a few months ago and I felt like acknowledging her on Mother's Day. I gave her a box of cookies and a sweet card, nothing fancy but it meant a lot to both of us. Anyway, my mom completely flipped when she found out via social media and now we aren't speaking. I don't feel that I did anything wrong. Did I?

when you recently tear the ligament of your knee.

Is that even fair? I just told him that the mirror is going to get offended if he keeps saying that to it. And now my laptop is being taken away, wth? How is this my fault?

long story short my dad walked out on me at 5 and I finally found him and his family but he has passed away. I met his gf who currently gets a ss check from him he worked for years good money. I'm his daughter and he's on my birth cirtificate his money is just as much mine as his other kids could I apply for a check from him even tho I'm 20 remind you my mom had no help from him raising me at all .

My sister has this really weird relationship with her father in law he calls her constant every hour if not they txt he always wants to see who shes with or he will video chat with her he bought her a cell and controls that once iul used her hotspot at the park and then she received a call from her father in law asking her why are you using so much data and she pays her cell! one time we went in a road trip me and her 4 hours away from home and this man was calling constantly saying where was she that hes waiting at her place she was scared to answer his like if he was going to get bothered I told her that relationship with him is not good at all she gets bothered with me Ps she not even this close to get own husband hes always out with his friends and her mother in law is always home

One of the big issues we have is my smoking. She can't accept the fact that although I realize its bad for you I cannot quit right now. It's too stressful living at home and since leaving college (400 miles away) and moving home I don't have a lot of friends to spend time with thus my addiction became the only pleasure in my life. YES I HAVE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL and I have done well quitting at times but I always fall back when I get lonely of my mother goes off for other reason. She gets angry with me which causes anger back. Im not saying she is the reason for my problem but her attempts at rectifying my behavior do not help and have destroyed our relationship. I flip her off everytime i walk away from her which she doesnt see but still. I loath her. She never has anything nice to say its always critical and I know she has the best interests in mind but as im moving out in a few months I'de like to get on better terms. Other criticisms she constantly makes, how I dress, who im friends with, how i eat, my hygiene, the way I walk, etc. Sometimes its warranted but its always aggressive and really just constant. I honestly want to move out and never speak with her again. My father is passive and a push over. I can't ask him for help but he is an amazing Dad other than the fact he can't realize my mother is making it impossible for us to have a good relationship. The only hope I see for our relationship is quitting nicotine and living at home for 10 years so she truly believes I quit. If I move out she will never believe I quit. I didn't really mention how often she mentions my smoking, I don't do it at home and I usually don't smell of it. I only smoke once before work and once after then go to the gym so I don't smell like it after. But when Im home for like 3 hours before bed she mentions the smoking for atleast 10-15 minutes. This is on top of all the other criticisms. If she doesn't like something I post on FB she will mention it right on my feed for all my peers to see. Thus I have to delete it. Let me mention Im 24 have a good career (stayed home only to pay off my loans as per the contract I made at 17 when my parents agreed to cosign for my student loans) I pay rent at home and really they only help me by buying food. Everything else in my life I take care of. I know an option is moving out like I said i will be but I don't want to leave on bad terms

What, to you, is the difference between a collector and a hoarder?

My dad is an anti social, doesn't like family, is over protective, and doesn't have a job. My mom is the only one working and sustaining the household. What do I do?

Things keep happening around the house but I will only tell you one for the sake of time. my mom got these caramell coffe things for her kureg and one of them got used She jumped all over me because "I did it" but I really and truely didn't I told her to ask dad and she did he swears that he didn't do it so who did. I got the blame now I am not grounded this time but mom is so mad at me she wont even talk to me just growls and screams and stares what the happened. I dont really belive in the things above but I need to know what is happening and I thought I would use that to grab your attention please help

I made a 1340 on my sat and was really happy about it. Well, i find out my cousin made a 1470. I thought my dad was going to be proud of me anyway but instead he yelled at me through the phone and told me to f-ing shut up when i told him i thought i did good anyway. And theres no reasoning with him he's never told me he's sorry in my life. Im really really sad...thats saying the least. I feel horrible. Do you guys have any advice?

I lied to my dad so I could go to a concert. I am 18 and i,wanted to go to this concert very badly and I have a Facebook friend that I didn't know in real life wanted to go thativenever met in real life,so i got him to go with me. I know that is extremely stupid and im planning on never doing it again. I told my dad I worked with him when i dont and i feel like bad. I'm afraid of what my dad will say if I told him the truth. My dad asks a lot of questions that he doesn't need to know aswell so I fell under pressure

I'm 18. my father is constantly trying to control almost EVERY aspect of my life(including what I eat, what i drink and my social life) But what pisses me off the most is he is contantly on my youtube account. When I was 11 i posted some videos i made that i consider mediocre now(all they had were words like die, death and all in them) but he reacted to them like I just murdered somebody and forced me to delete the videos. of course i reuploaded them on an account i made to escape his rulings. of course when he found out about the "alternate" account two years later my videos had changed to stuff like Caillou's dad assaulting his son for peeing on the teacher, he just forced me to delete the Caillou assaulted videos but not any of my old ones(he considered them masterpieces compared to my current ones at the time). Of course here we are a couple years later again of course now i post videos such as Hand drawn MLP Porn and videos of two guys kissing and also videos of me smoking pot(it actually helps me focus in school) and showing how to care for your smoking pieces(of course i reuploaded my caillou assaulted videos) but he again considers my older videos masterpieces compared to my new ones. how do i break this cycle and get him to leave me alone

My dad is getting married in about 2 months. I m 22 and my parents divorce a couple years ago was a huge shock to me. I think it happened because my dad is basically having a midlife crisis. I do not like his fiancé at all, I think she s only with him for his money and she just isn t a very nice person, plus her kids are little brats. My mom has still been devastated about the whole thing since it has pretty much ripped our family apart. I still can t forgive my dad for leaving us and basically starting over with a new family. He still tries to maintain contact with me but it s just awkward now. Am I wrong if I don t go to the wedding?

My family is but my friends are only close with 1 or 2.. My dads side of the family is pretty close.. So close to the point where there was a time where we all lived around the same neighborhood ( like Neighboring.. Neighborhoods ) But now most of them live about an hr away So naturally growing up next to each other, the cousins were close We played games, had sleep overs, we bickered like an old married couple ( lol like over dumb things ) but we never actually stayed mad

I'm 21 and have lived at home all my life in Philadelphia. I want to travel to California for a week alone but my father won't let me go even though I would be paying for the trip. He says California is dangerous because of gangs and the people there. I think hes crazy but unfortunately hes very stubborn. Do you think hes right? Is this normal parental behavior? Do your parents act like this?

He has always had so much animosity towards her.

I say I need to take the dog out or,clean its room up. I don't get it done when I should, not even my homework either. I only get started when it becomes easy at times though. My brother wants to help me with the homework if it gets too hard for me but it seems like I can't cope with him teaching me if I won't listen first . My brother thinks there's something wrong with me and that I'm thinking about stuff. I also gotta take the kids to the park, and I always do it. They use me all the time and I don't know why and I wish someone else will do it. I think I'm the one who is the fault here. I can't live like this if I keep falling in faith. Can you help me with this please?

So yesterday, I bought a tshirt like this one. http://www.amazon.com/Senran-Kagura-Asuka-T-shirt-Hobby/dp/B0090EFID6 Mine was cheaper an possible a bootleg, but thats not the matter here. My mom confiscated it, and asked if I had more stuff like that. I told a little white lie and answered no. Today, when I returned home, my mom was very angry for no real reason, so she had found my SK stuff and started to yell insults like that Asuka is nothing more than filthy slutty fantasygirl made for machivioulus pigs! I got angry and tried to defend the franchise to no avail, and now all my SK stuff is locked away untill the day I move out of my parents home!

I go to school a couple hours from home and am staying with my family for the summer. It was late last night and I was bored, so I left quietly and stayed the night at a friend s house. Unfortunately for me, I didn t consider that my dad could be on call and his car was gone when I got home. I drive so he would have noticed me MIA. I m now put in the situation of needing to prepare for a questioning session, possible punishment from a car I legally own, or just him asking where I was. My parents are very strict and my dad is very nosey, so I don t think I ll be getting away with the latter. I need to build a defense and come up with some solid responses, predicting and understanding their opinion on this. So Yahoo Answers, what s your take on the situation?

I have a younger brother and my mom loves him more than me. They peck, caress, and hug all the time. He gets all the attention. My mom always makes him special food and gives the left overs to me and my dad. She makes sure that it is he who gets everything first. When confronted about this, she claims that she loves everyone equally. Why is that?

My daughter's father wants joint custody and I don't want that. He sees my daughter whenever he wants to. I feel like my rights are being taken away with joint custody and I won't have much say so in things. My daughter is the only biological family I have here in Georgia and I feel like by him trying to get joint custody, I am going to lose my rights to my child.

Well today I decide to wake up early for a change. I was playing a game and I wasn't in the best of mood when she called me. So I sat down and we talked about how I haven't found a job in two weeks and I can't find a job when I'm up at 3:00 am at night (I was talking to a friend, which I rarely get to do because I don't have a lot of friends). And I didn't want to talk about going to school, or getting a job because she brings it up every day or every two days, and she just didn't understand. Now we are going to have a talk later and now I'm just upset. What should I do to calm myself?

My mother loves Dad she would never try to hurt him. And Pop loves Mom he would never try to kill her. People need to see more what a loving family we actually are.

My parents both have children from previous marriages. I am the only one they have together. My half-sister is the eldest and we share the same mother. However, ever since we were younger, my father would always cater and bond with her more than his blood daughter (me). Our mother did the same, but not as bad as he was. He was never really there for me, but he was there a lot for her. I have to admit, it drove a wedge between he and I to the point where we barely speak. My mom said it's because she's the eldest, but I don't see that as a reasonable excuse. When I was a kid, I would see friends' dads picking them up from school, seeing them at school events or even around the city parks playing. I never got that from my father, not even a hug or an ' love you' were existed and still doesn't. I won't go into the emotional abuse I had gotten from him. When I was eighteen, my dad told me he hates me (Yes, this is true) and since then, our encounters have been awkward. Now that I'm older, I have noticed that all he's done has mentally scarred me to the point where I'm terrified of male company or even making new guy friends. Is this all normal? What can I do?

I am 13 year old girl. I like Just Dance, and my little cousin copies me, but her 13 yo brother is like "Dancing is for fat people". Despite there are little kids around the house and neighborhood (my 8 yo old sis's friends), she happens to pay attention to me the most. She imitates me, then insults me, and then imitates me again. She was happy when she found out i wrote fanfiction. My uncle and aunt told EVERYONE. My fanfiction made them happy. She doesnt have an older sister. But another question, why was her mom so negative around everyone? Why cant she say to her daughter, "It is nice that u socialize and like other people but be urself". Instead she teaches my cousin to call me fat 20-30 times and that my hair was "dirty" blonde. They come every weekend. Why cant her mom try to go to a proffessional or try to improve things herself but instead she tears everyone down with her, young or old?

Does anyone go to garfield highschool in LA? Or have a son or daughter who does i only ask cause i have a half sister who i might not ever see again and i wish to get incontact with her if so her name is alexis shes short with brown hair shes mexican and if u could answer my question ill send u my instagram so u can give it to her, her mom dosent want us talking and i miss her so damn much plz help anyone out there plz :(

I just want to sleep its my pride and joy, I am not depressed either I am happy sleep is just so amazing. I missed 100 or more days of school due to my addiction to sleep, I am 17 in 11th grade, my gpa is hella low but what they teach is pointless anyways.. I also never have a ride to school because my mom works full time should I just drop out of high school and become a professional sleeper? Lol

Don't say they're lazy because they're not. Around June last year my mom lost her job and my step dad lost his last week. We're renting a house so we could be evicted soon and I have three siblings so that's not good. It wouldn't be a problem if our vehicles were working but they won't start. The good thing is we're on food stamps. But if this isn't resolved soon we might be put into foster care again. None of my dads family will help so we're stuck. Are there any government programs that can help us get back onto our feet? I don't care what it is but I need to know what we can do right now please.

I'm 22 and my family is dysfunctional. My mom has a bunch of mental issues and she is weak so she cannot defend herself or her kids. My dad is an ignorant racist bigot. They both believe they are better than my boyfriend. He 24 and Latino (my dad hates it) and we've been together for 6 years. We see a future together and I only have a few semesters left before I get my degree. We plan on getting married within the next 6 month to a year at least. My boyfriend already talked with his parents and they seemed to be fine with the idea since we both have shown maturity and responsibly. His parents said they just want to see him happy and succeed. Now he says its my turn to tell my parents because he does not want to be in a marriage where he feels unwanted. I just know for a fact my parents will never change... They just don't like anyone. They have not 1 friend on this earth so nothing will make them change. I just want to be happily married and free. I know I have to tell them soon but emotionally I'm not ready for the emotional and mental abuse I'll be recieving. I already have bad anxiety caused by their parenting skills.

I really like him and since he has no kids he and his wife babysit. I am older now so don't need a babysitter but when my aunt (his sister) was drunk she blurred out something to us about it. My mother says he does not want people to know as it took his parents time to accept he was transgender. His name is George but he was Ginny when a girl. I am afraid I might accidentally refer to him as Ginny as my aunt always brings it up when drinking. I am afraid he will never like me again if he knows I know. How do I prevent this? My aunt is not on good terms with him because of her alcoholism and a parenting issue when he helped her son to Al-Anon for teens over her drinking, so she brings it up out of spite for him.

I have boobs, and she don't. I wear a bra and she don't. I have my period, and she don't. I think about clothes, boys, and "dirty" stuff, and she thinks about cartoons and chocolate. Im in 7th grade, and she in the 2nd. Yet she spies, insults, and imitates me. Her mother taught her to insult me. She is in her 40s and she is in an unhappy marriage and is insecure. She told her daughter to call me fat and my hair was "dirty" blonde. Why does her mother tried to put me down and make fun of me?

I'm 16 and the father of the baby is 21, can my dad take away my baby? I'm living in maryland!

My husband has a dog the he kept at his mothers home. I told him my experience when I lived with roommates their with dogs from before, dogs pee and poop in the house and not to mention the fleas, I moved out. He knew that I didn't like dogs especially in my house. Well my husband and I got place and settled down. Now on the first day that we move in he goes and gets his 16 year old dog, which seriously upsets me. It has cancer under it tail over it's butt and everywhere that they dog sits or lays there is a spot. So I placed things over our nice furniture and he is not allowed in the bedroom. I asked him if he would get rid of the dog and he said that he can't. So after a a week or so the dog has been pooping in the house which angers me more; so I talk to my Husband about this problem and still don get anywhere. My husband works out of town and is home on weekends and he leaves this dog with me as if it's my responsibility to care for it. Now within a month or so ago the dog started peeing in the house and my nerves were and still are a total wreck. This dog is taken out every 2 hours and still does this.. I have even talked to my Husband about chaining the dog up outside somewhere; because the dog has really destroyed my house. I am to embarrassed to bring guest over.....I even offered to move out until the dog dog dies or he comes up with some to way to deal with the dog, he says no and that he don't want to lose me... I just can't live in filth... He says that I should be more active with the dog, which I don't have an interest in doing that. My beautiful house smells like a pig sty from the cancer sore alone smells like something dead on side of the road... It would take me a long time to clean this house. My husband washes the dogs food and water bowl in the sink and I caught him using my dish towel; I threw it out and asked him not to please do that again, I am very clean and sanitized when it comes to my kitchen and bathroom. I am sure that a lot of animals lovers will have something negative to say. I really don't want to hear about dogs are people, that is something I don't agree with. What should I do?

The only thing I can do is walk places of stay in my room. What else to do??? I have no friends to hang out with plus I have no car. I unfortunately got my license taken away until October 17th :/ no ones business. But how do I keep my cool until then?? I hate my sister and she just ****** makes me miserable and annoyed and I just can't stand her. She's an attention whore and I can't wait till I can move away and never be in contact with her ever ****** again. The only thing I candy is walk places or* stay in my room. I meant

I didn't know who she was. We stated dating two years ago, she is 22 and I'm 37, turning 38 soon. I know, It's a big gap but we don't care. When I was 16, my girlfriend Jessica and I had sex, about a month later my family moved to California, She lived in Ohio still. We had to break up, we called each other every night, but one day, I remember it was 1:30 pm, she called me on a Saturday, nd said "Quentin, I haven't had my period yet. It's five days late. ****, Gavin's coming. I... I'm sorry." And she hung up. I've thought about that call everyday. I called back everyday. No answer. She never called me again. I moved back to Ohio, around where I grew up three years ago for my job, and I met my girlfriend, Ivy. When she told me her name was Ivy Hail, I never thought she was the daughter of Jessica Hail! So, two days ago I asked if she wanted to go to the park but she said she wanted to visit her mom's grave because she died on that day, when Ivy was three. She died in a car accident. Somehow, Ivy never told me her moms name. I went there, saw the head stone, saw the name, And started to freak out. Then I noticed she was buried next to Adam and Chloe Hail. They were her parents. Her brother Gavin was buried there too. I also knew Ivy dint know her dad. It all hit me. I'm dating my daughter! I was about to PROPOSE to her at the park! This changes everything! I mean, we've had sex! We live together! We might have been engaged if Jessia had died on a different date. I can't believe this. I didn't tell Ivy yet. She'll hate me for not being there! She'll hate me for havin sex with her! I loved her, but now... I love her in a father way. This I just can't handle! I always wondered if Jessica kept, aborted, or gave the baby up for adoption, not a day went past that I didn't think about the kid. I never told Ivy I might have a kid. What am I supposed to do? Pop up and say "Hey Ivy, guess what? I'm you dad!' I don't know what to do or what to think! Please help!

Okay well I'd like to start off with the fact that I'm not pregnant and I don't do drugs or anything and I'm a freshmen in high school. I'm just a very horrible human being in general and I have a terrible personality. In fact, if I ever met myself, I would just walk away. I say this because my own parents don't even like me, with all reason not to. My parents provide me with everything I could possible need: food, water, a good education, a home, medical attention, etc. Whenever I get into an altercation with my mother, however, I just get really mad and I disrespect them. I'm just rude in general for no reason. Sometimes when my mom says hi, I'm just angry/sad. I feel as if my only two emotions now are anger and sadness. I haven't felt happy in months. I feel as if I take my anger/sadness out on my parents. I want to learn how to better myself and be an enjoyable person, but I fear that that's impossible. To the outside viewer, I could be looked upon as the perfect daughter. I get straight A's, I've never been in trouble with school or anyone for that matter (excluding my parents of course). I, however, am beginning to disappoint myself with everything I do. I feel like I'm not good enough for my parents or my friends and so I avoid my family. I feel like everything I do is a mistake. I called my mother crazy in the midst of an argument today and now she's crying to my father, to which I heard him say "Our children are worthless pieces of sh**. I wouldn't consider any of them friends or someone I could go to. You're better off just to stop caring. I did years ago." (I have two older brothers btw and one of them is in college). So as you see, my parents don't really care about us. I feel they would in fact be better off without me, and I've been having suicidal thoughts for the past couple months (there are many other influencing factors but that has nothing to do with this). I just want to know how I can become a good person and love myself, and most of all, win the love of my parents. Long story short, I'm an awful human being, how do I change my personality? Sorry this was so long, there's just a lot to tell. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what is going on but my 27 year old daughter is very different lately. She seems not to be able to deal with the choices she makes, she is extremely moody and the worst very disrespectful towards me. She took on a second job, and was sure in the very beginning she could handle it. Here and there she works at a clothing store as well. She treats me literally like an idiot, accuses me of lieing, calls me the most selfish and immature individual. I am not the type of person who asks for help, even when I need it, it is very hard for me to ask. I guess her initial complaint is, I am never there, I never listen, etc. I lost my life partner on April 10 2013, a year ago. My daughter started an argument with me right the day before, she got me to the point that I told her to leave me alone, and hung up on her. My life went upside down after my partners death and I didn't have time to grief or mourn his death, cause I have to take care of all the bills (he did not leave a will) by myself. I am working on getting back on my feet, have a part time job as a spiritual cosultant and enjoy my work. My daughter doesn't take my work seriously or anything I do, that does not fit the norm. I am to the point where I don't want to go out in public with her, cause she is talking me down. Some times I think she hates me because I am not the person she wants me to be. It makes me sad and currently I don't want to even talk to her anymore.

When my daughter was born her father acted like he was going to step up and be a father...well that didn't work out. My daughter has both of our last names but I want to remove his. Could I get some advice from people who know or have actual experience please. I would like to know the process I would have to take and all that good stuff. I live in ny by the way. Thank you

I am 36. My girlfriend is 29. We have been together 2 years. I have a 9-year-old daughter with my ex. My ex passed 6 months ago. My GF and I do not live together - the sole reason for that is because my GF wants to live on her own. So my daughter Alice came to live with me 6 months ago. I do not have money. I live paycheque to paycheque. I rent a small 1 bedroom apartment - I sleep in the living room, my daughter has the bedroom. I work to the bone to give my daughter the best I can. My GF does have lots of money - mostly from family. She is a full-time student, but she works for her father's company and gets paid well. She rents a luxury apartment - paying 4 times what I pay for rent. She has a fancy sports car. She gets her nails done every other week. She gets her hair done every month. She spend $60 on a small bottle of shampoo - for only herself of course. She drinks wine with every meal. She eats out all the time. She loves sporting events - spends oodles of money on tickets. My problem is she never spends any money on me. Ever. And she now never spends any money on my daughter. She was looking after my daughter while I was away for the weekend. She texted me and said that my daughter wanted a certain new pair of shoes and wanted to know if she could buy them - and then have me reimburse her. The shoes were $90. I will not spend that kind of money on kids shoes. So I said if she wants to pay for them herself, that's fine. But that I will not reimburse her. So she didn't buy her the shoes. When I came back from my trip, I noticed that she had spent $300 on a new purse for herself. Really!? You said no to my kid for $90, but you didn't feel guilty spending $300 on a purse?! I told her I was very upset. She said that my child is not her child. And that she is not obligated to spend money on her. And that her money is her business and what she spends it on is none of my business. I was furious. I stormed out and we haven't talked since - it has been over a week. What should I do? I do love her. But I feel like she is selfish. So incredibly selfish!!! She is so into herself and her looks. But I do love her. Why hasn't she called or texted me in over a week? I don't get it.

I have a 14 year old daughter. She's my only child. She's usually a great kid - she has good grades, is polite, behaves good... I've never had a problem with her, ever. Not in school, not at home, ever. Her mother and I are divorced. Her mom remarried, and my daughter has a nice relationship with her stepfather which I'm happy about because she's with them often so she should have a good relationship with him too in order for the time she spends over there to be pleasant. However, she hates my wife. My wife is a really good woman and I love her. I'm in love with her, but my daughter hates her. I can't do anything about that, I know. My daughter is polite to my wife, acts civil, but that's it. She doesn't want to do anything with us together, doesn't want to be in our house if my wife is going to be there. She says she only wants to see me, but she's been really drifting away. I've talked to her about it, to check is it just teenage normal stuff or there's more to it.. And my daughter says she can't believe i can love "that woman" (referring to my wife) and be married to her. She also says that she doesn't want a really deep relationship with me as long as I'm married to my current wife. She basically never comes around anymore,and if she does, it's only if my wife will not be there. When we see eachother, she's cold, reserved, and throws hints to see if I'm leaving my wife. When she figures out I'm not,she becomes even more cold and reserved. My wife wants to have a baby with me,and I wanted that in the beggning too,but now I don't anymore. I'm losing my daughter and that's the last thing I want to happen. I love my wife but I love my daughter as well. My daughter is basically making me choose and it's very hard for me. I don't want to lose my wife, but I can't STAND the thought of losing my daughter. What should I do?

I'm not very good at writing letters and need your help. He's very in tune with my feelings and is an awesome son and big brother. He's an honor student whose talented and plays the piano as well as the trumpet the oboe and the clarinet. He loves playing instruments and composing music. He's also very shy and insecure and doesn't have an outgoing social life. Some of his "friends" aren't nice to him and gets picked on and shoved around. I'ld like to give him advice and make him strong to face the world but don't know how to state it. Does any one have any writing ideas. Only caring advice please - no crudeness. Thank you in advance.

my son is 11 and he said he needed to do homework and he went on my laptop and pulled out his papers and I went downstairs to watch tv. when he said he was done I went back to using it and it was running freakin slow and then when I opened up IE it took me to this webpage with nude woman and now I gotta remove it. how do I punish him for this? this is the only computer I have in the house. @Kano well shouldn't I still punish him for lieing to me about his homework? infecting my pc with viruses? watching porn when he is too young for it? @Kano no I wouldn't because A. he is too young. B those sites can give you viruses C our family is catholic D he should only be using it for homework but because he lied to me now I have to fix my pc.

The summer is so hot and i like wearing tank top and jean shorts. They make me feel comfortable and cozy. But my mom doesn't agree with me. She thinks that tank tops are too causal to go outsides. Do you also thinks so?? This type is what I often buy: http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Summer-O-Neck-Heart-Pattern/dp/B01DLL6FBM/ref Don't you think the tank top is cute for the young??

So one morning I went in the shower and realized my conditioner was gone, wondering where it would be I looked underneath the sink in the cabinets, everywhere in the bathroom. So out of curiosity, I looked in my brothers room, and there it was on his bedside table. (Why would he want my conditioner?) 1 week ago, I had put it in my room underneath my tv on my dresser. A couple days later GONE! Looked in my brothers room and bam! Found it. Then last night I put it on the side of my bed where I have a few stuffed animals. I went up to my room after school and it was gone! I was like "Are you ******* kidding me"!! Can someone tell me why you think he may be stealing my conditioner from my room? And there's less and less conditioner in it. Even if he was using it for his hair, wouldn't it be still in the shower. (We have a jack and Jill bedroom/bathroom so we share the shower.)

As a child, you think your parents are god, even if they do wrong. When you grow up and look back, you realize some things. I'm 18 y/o female now. I have a really strong memory about life events. I look back now to the type of behaviour I faced from my mother (who I now know is narcissistic) and father (who is also a retard). I remember how once in the store, I was maybe 7, and my dad was mad at me for some reason (I was being a kid like all kids, not listening or getting distracted by items) and he said 'come here you DOG', yelling. I remember him slapping me on the face for something silly, threatening to do something really bad to me if I didn't listen, etc. I remember being kicked by my mom, slapped on the head, back, and face, pinched, my hair pulled if I didn't listen to something. Even chased me around the house with a KNIFE once, and once with a newspaper caught on fire to scare me. Once she pulled my clothes off what the eff and said I'll get my shirt back if I listen. Now when I look back, I realize these are things that could get them jailed if I told the police. I realize that this was abusive, dysfunctional behaviour. It's not physical now, but now it's subtle and more mental. what do you think of this and what was your experience?
