I'm 14 and on Saturday I'm going to a family reunion in the park. I don't want to go but I also don't want to be that moody teenager. I don't want to go because I've only met 5 people fro my extended family. I also have social anxiety and it's going to be kinda hot on that day. I just want to know how to get through five hours of this. I usually bring my phone and book to this type of stuff but that usually just keeps me entertained for an hour and a half, sometimes two. Just follow my sister or mom around? I mean I'm not good at talking with people because I'm shy, but I don't want to be rude. Thanks in advance!

So i just bought a bottle that say wip cream on it. Is it good lol

Hi, I'm a 12 year old girl who has really mean parents ... Whenever I do something wrong or that they don't like or approve of, my parents make me bend my knees against a wall or corner and make me sit there for anywhere near 10 minutes to an hour. The results would be red, swollen up, bruised knees that would ache whenever I would stand up straight or squat or do something with my knees... Also if you haven't figured it out by now, I'm Asian and strict, mean parents are just something you're born into when your Vietnamese.. I really want help :(. I don't think that 12 year old girls who actually want a happy childhood should still be given such a harsh punishment that makes them physically hurt. I would rather have them ground me instead of forcing me to basically hurt myself... Please help me :( -Anna Pham

My ex husband and I were separated but still sorta dating when my daughter was conceived. When I found out I was pregnant we decided to try to make the marriage work and not matter what the outcome was he would raise her as his own. When she was 6 months old we agreed divorce would be best. We had a son together that was two years older. After the divorce he became very distant from both children and hasnt really been around or involved in their lives the last 10 years. I just recently decided to do a siblings test for my own peace of mind (having spent the past 11 years feeling guilty that if my daughters father was really the man i was seeing back then then she would have other brothers and sisters that I have been keeping her from ) The test came back as I had expected it would all along ... my ex husband is NOT her father. What do I do? She doesnt have a relationship with my ex whose name is on the birth certificate ... she doesnt want anything to do with him. I have kept in contact with the man that is her real father once every few years ... but he didnt really want anything to do with her. Do I tell her?

My average is 16 but I have an 8 at maths and if i gail i will have to be an extra year studying just to get to the math exam and try to pass...this idea scares my parents,but im so tired of thid,my life is a living hell.. i cant be home because my parents are constantlu yelling at me(they are both cop),and here i am sitting in a public bath room because i dont wanna go home...help me

My father passed away when I was very young, but I never really knew him, and I'm the youngest child of 6 kids, and of 5 girls. My parents were divorced anyways and I never knew my grandparents on my father's side, it seems like they were estranged from what my mother has said. My mother has two sisters, and one of them is not married and does not plan to marry or have kids and the other is a lesbian who has a partner and has adopted twin girls. My grandfather was a great guy but he too passed away when I was 6 and I never knew him. Thus, family gatherings are: Grandma, My mom, her older sister, her younger sister and her partner and my two twin girl cousins, my 5 sisters and me. I'm the only boy and it really makes me feel bored even if I try to partake in conversation. I can't drive yet and I don't have too many friends so I don't really have places to go, sometimes I get dragged shopping and I'm miserable.

My husband has a 17 yr old bro. He has had several girlfriends since about age 11. He has told all of them he loves them and wants to marry them. He's been with this one for a year and she suddenly has become real tight with my mother in law. My in laws refused to come to our house for christmas eve saying "it was too far" but went to her grandparents. She has begun to answer for my in laws and told me today to not take it so personally if they dont answer the phone (her phone goes right to VM but she will text) and that is irritating when we try to contact her. She starts telling me about what the in laws are doing on a daily basis. Why is she sucking up like this, does she honestly think she is going to marry into the family at 16?

I am 12 years old an yesterdaya in night i went o the toilet and i saw a white, little worm in my poop... I was freeked out, but i was too shy to tell my mom. I did so.e research and got that i have pinvorms. I wanted to tell her this morning, but i couldnt. I am shy talking about theese things. This evening i saw another one wigling in my poop. I am scared. And i dont know what will be my moms responce if i tell her.

So I've lived with my family for my whole life and always trusted them. Recently, my father has started coming on to me (I'm 15, he's 41) and having intercourse with me. At first I hated him for it, and still do, but he's constantly asking if I like it. Lying to him so often and saying yes has made me think if I really do or not. I feel like I should tell my mother or somebody, but I'm scared that he'll lose his job in the military. What do I do? I'm scared that he'll blackmail me or do something worse to me. Please help.

So Ive been babysitting this 3 year old girl for about 2 weeks now and I get paid $40 a day to watch her from 6am-10pm ! I usually don't like to call kids bad, but she is BAD! She is spoiled and throws temper tantrums whenever something doesn't go her way. For example, if I don't let her take her clothes off she will jump up and down and scream, or when I won't take her outside because its like 90 degrees outside shell cry. I kid you not, watching her is like a punishment. She wants to eat every 20 minutes and wants to drink nothing but juice and when I make her drink water she pours it on the floor. I have had to hit her because she spit on me and my brother and peed in the trash can on purpose! She also drew on my mom's couch..causing me to try and hurry and clean it before she got home. She also threatens to "punch me in my face" and "tell on me", I told her mom how she acts and her mom tells me that she's trying to work with her on her behavior but she is not changing. Oh let me not forget to mention that her mom sometimes comes to pick her up about 45 minutes late. I really need this job and I don't have anything else to do. Please help thanks!

I'm 16. We were going on a day trip an hour away from we live. I checked to make sure my flat iron was off, and then we left. For whatever reason, my mind started running and extremely overthinking to the point where I convinced myself that it might still be on. So I had a really bad anxiety attack in the car and the next exit on the freeway was 30 minutes away, so my dad FLIPPED OUT and drove home, said we wed're going on the trip anymore. Screamed at me the whole way home. My mom was mad but she stayed quiet. No one will look at me. They just keep fighting over anything now. I said I was sorry and I'd pay for ALL the tolls! I even offered gas money! They said no, and I just keep apologizing! It was an insanely stupid thing for me to do - I know. I needed to see the outlet again... I mean, I'd rather deal with THIS guilt than the guilt of burning down the house/getting the dog killed. I'm just relieved that the house was okay and my dog is alive and well. But they all hate me and I can't stop crying. Everyone just keeps fighting and complaining about me. I feel so guilty for ruining the trip :( I knew I turned it off, idk why I convinced myself otherwise

My daughter Kathy is a senior in high school and has a lot of difficult homework. She often ask for homework help from anybody that is convenient. For example, I had a ladies club meeting at my house and she ask some of the ladies for homework help. They gladly helped her. When my son had some of his friends over, she ask them for homework help and they helped her and were happy to do it. When her sister's date came to pick her up, Kathy ask him to help her with her homework and he did until her sister was ready to go on her date. What seems so unusual to me is that EVERYONE that helped her told her if she needed more help to call them which she sometimes but not very often did. With all the help she has received she has an A average grade and has a choice of the college she wants to attend. Kathy and I and her dad are very grateful for all the people that have helped her and we have told them so. Do you find it unusual that so many people are willing to give of their time to help someone and do not expect to get paid for their time? It kind of renews my faith in the goodness of people.

I failed my drivers permit test today. I had took the practice test like a million times and i always got a hundred percent. Every single person i know that took it (like 20 people) all aced it their first shot. So did my cousin who is the exact same age as me. She took it last month and aced it and my grandparents kept saying "jilly aced it on her very first try and so will you" over and over and i really thought i would. Everybody expects me to be this super smart straight a person but im not and im actually quite stupid and im under so much pressure all the time i dont know how im supposed to face my grandparents and family after my mom tells them. I went back out and i told her and she got pissed at me and the dot ladies there were looking at me like a dumb blonde and i have to go take it tomorrow again but i dont want to cuz im too stupid to drive so why should i even bother. Even my little brothers were making fun of me cuz i flunked it. And i know that real women cant cry in front of people but when we got home i couldnt help it cuz my mom was mad and i got frusterated so yeah locked in my room is where ive been for the past hour. How do i stop being such a ******* failure.

Basically, we moved in with my girlfriends family a few months ago to save money since we are moving out of state. Her and her family are real close and I am a quiet person, I keep to myself. Her brother is the baby of the family they treat him like hes 2 and hes very spoiled. He constantly wants to be in our room and on our bed. He's always knocking on our door and asking to come in. She has a hard time saying no even though she knows I want our privacy. She's been getting a little better with it but sometimes she lets him in. He doesn't bathe everyday, he's always in his underwear, he is a bed wetter still and he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. I am kind of a germaphobe and I feel like adults beds shouldn't have other people in it because its our private area and we sleep in our underwear. She lets him get all in our bed when I'm not home and lately shes been letting him sleep in there with her before she goes to work if im gone. This bugs me because I feel likes its gross. Specially with his hygiene and his mom not always staying on top of him for it. And me just being an adult who wants their personal space respected. Am I wrong for feeling this way? What can I do?

My boyfriend and I been together for 6years and we have a 5 yr old girl that is graduating this Friday. He has 2 daughters form a previous relationship and on of them is having a ceremony on Friday as well. Now he s telling me that he won t be there for our daughters graduation that he will be attending his other daughters grad. Should I be upset is he making the wrong decision or am I over reacting?

older sister is almost 22, still lives with my mum, almost always angry and aggressive, telling her to shut the f*** up and f*** off, slams doors and always yells, swears. Doesn't care if the neighbours hear. Always says mean nasty things about people. Verbally attacks and abuses our mum and me when i visit from uni. She is not bothered to move out or learn how to drive. She says her friends are stupid and she hates men (but is not a lesbian). Very dominating and domineering, always gets her way out of aggression. If anyone tries to help her she does not appreciate it and tells us to f** off and mind our own business. Yet sticks to parents for financial support and so she has somebody to yell at and unleash her personal issues on (but doesn't want anyone interfering with them). How would u deal with this??? we are at wits end

But people don't think girls want that. I'd have sex with the bus driver, the man standing next to me in the queue right now, the man smoking near the wall. Anyone and everyone. People think I have standards and so they don't bother to ask and they lose out. People just wouldn't believe it, because I'm quite pretty, that they have a chance as good as anyone. How could i take it in my hands and ask casually random people without scaring them away thinking its a set up?

From my daughter was 4 months old her father left us. He doesn t pay child support but still get to see her twice a year. She knows he is her father. I am currently living with someone for two and a half years and she calls him dad. Neither of them are her biological father. When do I tell her?

Ok so my dad is always making comments to my sibbling and i about how we're not doing things and are going no where in life. He will pull laundry put of the dryer in the middle of the night and put it on the couch. Usually i fold it when i wake up but lately he tells me one of my sibbling needs to do it. When they dont he says stuff like "man i should just start urinanting on it. Maybe THEN someone will move the clothes!" And when i clean he often mutters to himself and tells me to stop because it p*sses him off that im cleaning. He talks about kicking me and my brother out all the time and that we would be living in a homeless shelter without him. He yells a lot and doesnt clean or cook we're expected to do it all, but he makes mean comments no matter what. I dont know how to tell him im uncomfortable, last time im tried he called me names and belittled me. I just need advice, thanks.

He has a gf but around a lot, and caught him secretly looking/glancing a lot. We would talk about our careers mainly but had no problem talking about other things. He even suggested going out to eat but after some time like after I took my entrance exam in months. After this we've clashed when I've brought up that he had a gf and finding excuses to talk to me and he said he was being friendly. I felt in my gut that it was more than friendly cause of the constant secret glances. after the fight(a year ago)- he comes around to his gmas (if he didn't come there a few times a week we'd never see eachother), hes seen me outside and smiled since I unblocked him on FB while giving me gym advice one day, he texted "dont you have a bf to teach you all this?"

I don't get it, especially since I don't see what's so bad about being a permanent bachelor without pets. Yet my family gives me a hard time about it, or they fear that I'll live a miserable life or something and might make points about "dying alone" or whatnot. One sibling is married, the other has dated, but I've never dated anyone or been asked out, so maybe that's why? And what do I say to them if they bring something up like this again?

Sorry for the length: So my sister and I have always been really close-we are about 4 years apart. Anytime my sister and my mom hang out alone my mom always comes home with a grudge or something she's randomly mad at me about(that's usually twisted it to something it isn't) So my parents were driving me nuts one day and I was hanging out with my friend one and one and we were venting to each other about our families(which most people do-my sister WAS NOT there) Then today me,my friend I vented to(let's call her Mary) and my sister were all hanging out. She asked both of us "are your parents still being ridiculous?" And my sister looked at me all funny and I acted like I didn't know what my friend was talking about and told my friend later to be careful about my sister. So I got home and my sister went to hang with my mom-I was trying to do damage control and so I told me sister "hey that was so weird what Mary said! " and then all my sister does is text me back"idk lol" I sent my mom a funny picture because we do that all day and she never texted me back. My sister is acting all elusive and vague. Idk what to do-I'm so freaked out my sister will tell my mom and my mom will be upset. I love my mom so so much and it hurts me to think my sister could be making up stuff or even telling her what my friend said. My sister is younger and I am older. I need help doing damage control!

My dad is such as asshole. He gambled a month of salary and gold necklace on horse race and football betting and quit his job after he lost all the money. my mom went to pawnshop to clear the loan and retrieve the necklace.. What my dad did was he stole the necklace last sunday and hasnt not come home yet.. I am really pissed off with my dad at this moment. He said he would quit horse betting and gambling but he didnt. I am sick of him continously asking my mom for money and if he doesnt get it he steals it. When i try to talk sense unto him , he says i am the ome trying create dispute among him and dad.. A month ago i was soo pissed off that i wanted puch him to pulp but form mom sake i didnt. So i would like to get a suggestion what i should do my dad? He is lier fraud gambler and drunkard.

Well as you can tell I have the worst Summer So what should I do? My parents are sending me to a summer camp with a bunch of 4th graders that are annoying and all they do is cheat.and you can t have fun with them(I m going into 9th grade) and I would workout but the camp takes all day my parents don t want me staying home alone and I have summer homework that am trying to do but is making things harder. I had the initiative to workout and complete this homework while having fun but seems impossible on top of all that my parents making me do all these extra chores and also my dumb brother is feeding my parents lies which has them currently furious at me . HELP!!!

I graduate college next year and want to move 1500 miles away from home and try living in a new city in a new state all by myself. My parents aren't crazy about the idea but they'll support me no matter what (not support financially though; I'm on my own there). Money is not really an object to me so I'm not terribly worried about that. I feel confident that I will be able to find a job and a life wherever I go, but I want to experience a new place. I have reservations of rarely being able to see family and friends again, and going to a place where I know no one. What should I do? I'm basically wondering if moving just for the sake of moving is a good and legitimate reason for going across the country.

Well back story... My sister have been sick when she was younger with Cancer and she had to go to England for treatment.. since that my dad always loved her more than me.. Well If she does something wrong he come in the room very angrily and he still gives me the blame and not her.. and he slaps me and bruises and red marks are always left on me.. Today's Story... He Began Saying that My Girl's (i am a girl) Deodorant Stink on me, and obviously he will say that because he is a man not lady... when he told me that I just ignored him but few minutes later he came with his hand full (wet hand) with MEN?S PERFUME! That just got me too mad! I just went upstairs and told me- I am not coming! That's it! He stomped upstairs and hit me on my back... My back is all red! My sister is trying to jump for me at all times and help me.. she is calling Grandpa and Grandma (his Parent) telling them story and they just keep going agreeing with him! Qhhhh I hate them so ******* much! He hates me and I can't forgive him this time! He has been doing this so long and even mum, have been having problems with him and in fact she is Separated to my dad.. I wish she divorces.. Can't Wait until I tell her. I feel so Sad and So Emotionally unexplainable... It HURTS having a dad who doesn't love u, u know? He has to do a fight in something small which he started himself like this.. Once he started a fight into not liking my hair.. Its like he doesn't except me of who I am and that just Break my heart!

I noticed I had to work harder for things even though we have enough money I suspect my dad is giving the money away to people. My mom wants me and my sister to have our own place but my dad won't let us have it. How come he won't let me and my sister have some independence. Everyone around me there parents pay for there kids own places but i'm stuck in this house. My dad gives people money I hear him talking about this and also have seen him give money to these people who don't work hard and are stupid. It makes me mad because I have worked so hard all my life but these moochers get money for nothing.

Was it on a whim you just up and left? Or did you guys sit down and talk then leave? @ Adam: Seems this question wasn't for you to answer then. Sorry you didn't understand that with my complicated wording. Congrats and thank you Jl. It is the right decision for some people and for you sounds like it was best. I hope everything is well. I'm sure it was hard and I'm sure there was a reason for it. @Thomas: That's beautiful the connection you guys must have. Thanks for sharing.

I checked online today and noticed that he decided to make two payments. Which is great but why does he have to wait until its petitioned to make payments.wondering what the judge will say....😓

The one for Emotional Roadshow in Moline,Illinois. But along with parking, two tickets are $133. I'm 13, so I don't have a job, car, or materials. My parents don't pay me to do chores. I have a friend who's 25 who is going, but there isn't any seats next to her. My parents are super strict. How can I raise money, and convince him to let me go? I really love them. I've set up a gofundme, but my parents motto is 'you have to work constantly for everything you have no handouts'. Someone please answer, I'm really desperate.

My mom thinks I m lying about the reason I got a new charger she says I got it cause my old one broke and I said its cause I lost my old one. She won t believe me and won t let my come out of my room I keep coming out to talk to her about it but she won t believe me. ) (I know it s a stupid thing to get in a fight over )

Have you had to deal with obsessive parents? My parents call daily (I'm 28) to see how I'm doing. All the do when they call is "Hi how are you?" "Okay good bye". That's all they want, but it's DAILY. In a 2 week period I receive 14 calls from the each. And what really gets to me is that they have SO many problems themselves to worry about and take care of but they would rather ignore their problems and try to come over to clean for me or sit on my couch for me and pry to find out my problems. It's harassing and they don't respect my boundaries that I set. I will be cutting off contact forever after I move out of state, but until then have you cut contact with your parents? Did you sit down with them or did you just leave? If it were up to me I'd leave on a whim and never talk to them again. I'm suffocating. By the way they know that they have nothing to worry about. I work a lot and I'm in a very strict routine and they are very aware of it and they take my busyness as a "slap in the face". They want me miserable so that they can "help" is what it feels like to me. That want me to perpetually need them and I'm almost 30! So yes I have talked to them on MULTIPLE occasions. I just want to know how you broke contact from your parents. It's harassing. I cannot put every instance down. It's harassment beyond belief. I wouldn't tollerate this behavior from anyone else ESPECIALLY my family. I have rules in my home that I require everyone to follow. For example, Don't steal from me. But they cannot respect that. It's a lot. I'm not asking for your "My parents hate me" speech. You have one extreme, I have the other. This isn't a contest of who has it worse, I want to know "HOW DID YOU BREAK CONTACT FROM YOUR PARENTS?" I got a bill on my 21st birthday for everything I owe them from 14-18. They wrote up a bill of 45,000 itemized and everything that I need to pay them back because that's when I got my first job and they thought I should be supporting myself at 14. It's just stuff like that. If that's love I don't want to ever be loved. This is pointless. These people didn't become my parents overnight. I lived with them for a great portion of my life. Don't bother answering. I'd delete this if possible. I lived with these people for 18 years, and talking to them NEVER occurred to me! Holy sh*t! Even when they steal from me and harass me; I NEVER thought to talk to them. Wow you are a life saver!!!!! Where would I be without you. I'm no idiot. This isn't my first resort. Y!A is NEVER my first resort. It's my last. I don't need advise. This isn't Y!A (Yahoo! Advise) I want to know how you (people who have) disconnected from your parents. I'm sorry you didn't understand that.

So,the story starts here... me and my mom always have been like a very good friends (yes i do love my mom) but the only problem with her is that she gets very angry at me for NOTHING at all and sometimes i try to explain here practically as im a teenager after all, and she is like a mad dog trying to bite me. .and not the normal angry,she starts to yell at me and im like wait?what did i do?i do know their struggles and i think im not mature enough to understand it as im only an teenager.so please help me

I'm at that point with my 26-year-old daughter. She recently relapsed for the fourth time. For as long as I remembered she had issues. From the time she was around 6 she had behavioural issues. Over the years we had sent her to many therapists, psychiatrists, trying to get to the bottom of her issues. She was diagnosed with ADD, ODD, depression, anxiety disorders, throughout the years. She had been on probably more than 10 different medications. Nothing has worked. She started smoking weed at around 11 There was periods she would do well, usually after we tried a new medication or when she started a new school. But it was always short lived. When she turned 14, her mother caught her with cocaine, and by the time she was 16 she was doing heroin and meth regularly. After kicking her out, I paid for rehab twice, and she stayed clean one year and 18 months successfully. She was arrested when she was 24 years old for drug possession and driving under the influence. She went to jail for 6 months. I thought that time in jail would be what she needed to get it together. She did well for almost two years when I caught her shooting up in my garage. I told her I was done and to leave. It's been 2 weeks, and I have been ignoring her texts. I'm emotionally spent and I feel like **** but I can't do this anymore. I have done everything I can for her and I don't want to be around for that phone call.. She has generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. That was from three different psychiatrists.

He has a gf but around a lot, and caught him secretly looking/glancing a lot. We would talk about our careers mainly but had no problem talking about other things. He even suggested going out to eat but after some time like after I took my entrance exam in months. After this we've clashed when I've brought up that he had a gf and finding excuses to talk to me and he said he was being friendly. I felt in my gut that it was more than friendly, cause guys don't pay so much attention to a girl if they just see them as a friend right? after the fight(a year ago)- he comes around to his gmas (if he didn't come there a few times a week we'd never see eachother), hes seen me outside and smiled since I unblocked him on FB

She was 18 and i was 21. We dated almost for a year. Very early since our 1st date she'd mentioned she wasn't going to put out (sex) since she claimed to be a virgin. She then kept mentioning it over and over on the following dates again. Pretty soon she started to make out with me/touch me/send me sexy pics but still said she wanted no sex.Well we broke up now and she's now dating other guys. My friends told me she didn't put out due to me not being aggressive as in fingering her/touch the breast hard etc/kiss her breasts etc. They are correct but before even thinking of doing those things i'd ask her and she said no sex still. Are my friends correct???? after this girl i got a completely new gf and i started being aggressive with this new one and this one did put out asap. I'm starting to believe my friends were correct.

I had my lips and boobs Done.I am 22 years old and do not live at home anymore,still such a small thing as getting lip injections is making my parents call me cheap,i will never have a boyfriend or family,making them scream they are ashamed of me and that i dont respect them.They even told me someone might kill me in the street with a knife if i look like this. I never wear revealing clothes and my lips are not even big but what should i tell my parents when they speak like this?

How much do you socialize? I have a younger sister(11)and younger brotherMy (14). My sister is the baby of the family, and we also had an exchange student from Denmark(my age, 17) He was older than me. We all socialized quite a bit How old are your siblings?

My real dad tried to kill me when I was about 7 years old, his mom told him to. Why? She didn't like my mom. My step dad tried to kill me when I was 14. He cheated on my mom and he wanted a divorce. When they were going to divorce my mom filed child support because we were basically starving while my step dad spent all his retirement money on gambling and groceries for his whore that has a condom head. He tried to kill me because he thought if I died, he wouldn't have to pay for me no more. Because screw logic, he thought he would be let off the hook with me dead. His whore participated too. At 15, a kid brought a knife to school. He was a bully of mine and I tried to fight back at the wrong time. He pulled his knife out like a dumbass, the school sheriff tackled him. During the same year, when I was almost 16, a guy hit the car me and mom were in. We were in an SUV and we almost flipped. The dude made a run for it. At around my mid 16, I almost got assaulted by a hobo and almost got hit by a drunk driver. Now here I am, 17 years old. Mom has a new boyfriend, friend of hers that I fear may try to kill me too. I also have that one fear my death will be the cause of a banana peel. Anyone else been in similar situations? How do you feel? I honestly don't care anymore, seems like a normal part of life. Just gotta accept my luck stinks, I think I was almost kidnapped too by a guy who supposedly had candy in his car. My teacher saved my life there when I was in kindergarten. Just saying right now, I am being serious. Not even joking here. As for the guy with the candy. My mom did tell me not to talk to strangers and I did just that. The guy made it an obvious kidnap attempt by trying to grab me.

Okay, so im 18 and freshly graduated school. My younger sister is 14, and i've never seen someone so pathetically dependent on everyone in my life...she has no idea how to use a toaster, oven, microwave...or even a key! so me or my parents have to do everything for her. My parents never bothered to teach her to do anything herself, they baby her and spoil her like no tomorrow! i think at one point they tried, and immediately gave up because she would pitch a fit. Where when I was 11, I started staying home by myself after school daily and learned to do these things myself. She runs track and after every meet my mom takes her shopping for things she's ungrateful and unappreciative for. She will get angry and pouty and make a scene in public like a child if were out somewhere and i buy something and she does not (I work a job). She still expects me to stay home and cook her food all day; just 10 minutes ago, she almost set her meal on fire by sticking it in the microwave for an unbelievable amount of time from misreading directions! I honestly think its pathetic she's going into high school soon and has everything done and handed for her, and manages to act like an entitled brat. it's sickening and im not sure how to handle it. i address it to my parents and they ignore it. i try to help her and she ignores me, so i gave up. what to do? She actually started acting like this when she got her first Ipad around 7 years old...hasn't been the same since. Maybe it's too late for her to change her behavior?

My husband and I plan to someday have children. My SIL and her partner plan to never have children, which is fine, but she constantly voices her opinion about how stupid it is to have kids and how horrible children are. She's even said multiple times that people who have children are stupid. I know I should just ignore her, but it's hard when it's about something that's so important to you. Any advice? She knows we want to have kids, but she continues to be hateful.

Me & my bf have been together for 2yrs & we re about to have a baby, but he doesn t get along w/my mom. Ever since his parents offered us a place to stay until we got on our feet, my mom was offended & said she would disown me if I stayed at his house. I then sided w/my mom to make her happy, but it s become a problem in my relationship because There wouldn t be any room for my bf to stay at my house w/a baby. Now Idk what to do because I don t want to lose my mom or my bf. Has anyone else had this issue?

My mom twists everything I say and makes me seem like a bad guy to my friends and family. She yells at me for things I can not control- (I get really dizzy like at least 10 times a day and when that happens I cant control what Im doing and sometimes I do things that dont make sense) she doesnt even believe im really ever sick and she never thinks im telling the truth. She will scream at me and when she says somthing that hurts my feelings I cry and she wont stop screaming and I have to apologize. She accuses me of playing games with her like I hate her or something. What do I do? I already go to a therapist but she claims I don't need it because she says I don't have any stress in my life So idk what to do.

I know people don't help strangers but im in need of some help. I have no money or no food and waiting on assistance from the state I was told could take up to 30 days. im selling everything that I can on ebay for money but that's not really working. I have a gofundmepage set up but only 10 dollars was donated and its been 2 weeks. im too old to donate eggs and im looking into clinical studies and other things for money. I don't know what else to do. the world we live in is so harsh. nobody wants to help but if anyone can please go to my page gofundme.com/prayingforhelp16 I would appreciate anything at all. if not what can I do for money. im on the verge of being homeless

I have an 29 year old cousin she got pregnat at 14 and at 16 and today she only protitudes her self to get money and she gets lots of it! And everyone is proud of her because she got money ! Am 18 work and go to college and they are not proud of that! Always had responsability not like her and they always put her first what would you do? Oh yeah all my family supports her on what she does

Earlier around 4:30, my mom was sleeping in my room with my sister & I because she couldn't sleep with my dad because he was snoring too loud . Then she got up to use the bathroom and when went inside she saw my grandma sitting against the bathtub ( I'm pretty sure she fell down a little earlier ) my mom started screaming & yelling so that was when I got up. When I saw her laying on the floor I screamed so loud, I was so scared that I couldn't even cry! ( my grandma is 84 btw ) so then my dad heard it too, he rushed to the bathroom and carried my grandma back to the room since my grandpa couldn't walk or talk at all. When we brought her back to the room, she continued sleeping but she was breathing really loudly. My parents, my sister & I have no idea what happened!? So we call the ambulance & now she's in the hospital. I'm so scaried and worried right now, I was crying so much, I couldn't thing positive! What do I do to stay strong ? :(

My cousins are little kids and they only live with a dad

So I go to a school near the one my mum works at and she comes into mine quite a lot. On the way to school this morning in the car, I asked her not to embarrass me as she normally does. She told me her pupils would be coming as well- they would embarrass me further so you could imagine my delight at that. She got really offended at me for saying that and now I'm in loads of trouble with my dad as well because of it. What should I do?

So, I came into a marriage with an older woman who has two adult children. One adult is a female who has a job, a apartment and is living in california with her bf. The other adult is a 32 year old male, with no education (no high school diploma or ged) is homeless, has a child with a baby momma, smokes (probably sells too) weed, drinks and is a leech to his mom (over 50 yrs old). Me and my wife just returned on sunday from a reunion with my sister in texas. We had an awesome time bonding and loving eachother. My marriage, our relationship was on 10 when we left texas. On sunday night, I was drained of all my bliss when her son showed up unannounced at 11:30 pm that night. I was pissed but I didnt say anything, I just decided that Id let the deadbeat sleep the night and leave in the morning. But, this guy starts cursing and mouthing off at his mom, then begans threatening me, saying I am the reason he cant do anything in his mothers home. He then says, that he wants to kick my *** and a long story short, I called the police, he leaves. The next morning he texts his mom stating that he wasnt sorry and he felt the exact way he spoke. I feel like I am done with her son, I lived my life never warrenting anyone to verbalize bodily harm to me, but this punk *** I helped now wanted to kick my ***. I feel like he has caused a shift in our relationship and she (my wife) will let him do what he wants. She did say that he is no longer welcomed here, but Ill have to see. any advice?

Backstory: mother passed away when I was little and I lived with my dad and my aunt, back and fourth. I am in my early 20s now, but when I was 16, my dad and I got in a huge argument that involved him and his new wife(married 2 years ago.) This caused my father to be out of my life right when I turned 18-no communication and no seeing each other. I remember specific moments I needed him for something, like with college applications, and he would not reply to any of my messages or answer my phone calls, neither would his wife. He also has a long lost son that I was trying to find. I created a Facebook page trying to find him and I tied to add my dad but he blocked the page and my personal page. He and his wife, and her young son, moved far out of state, so I cannot just show up at their house. I just feel that the whole situation was blown up and it shouldn't be this way. I just do not know how I could get in touch with him. And even if I did, what could I possible say? I believe a child should never beg to be in one of their parents' lives. Thank you.

I'm an intelligent student, who is in honors classes and never gets below an A+ or B average. I get awards every graduation, but this eighth grade graduation I didn't. They had only selected one student per course, and most of them were electives (such as art, band,etc.) which I hadn't joined. Of course I was upset, but I didn't care because I knew I work hard. Right after graduation my dad immediately started screaming at me. He said things like, "Are you sure you even passed the year? It clearly doesn't look like you did" "Your sister is clearly the smartest one" "We shouldn't even had recorded your graduation, it's not like you got anything" "I drop you off at school everyday, and this is how you turn out? Dumb?" And so on. I tried explaining that not every one gets an award, and that I'm in still in honors. It really hurt me that every parent was hugging and taking pictures with their child, whether or not they got an award. I know my parents might feel disappointed, but did they really have to be so angry?

They only let me play one and a half hour per day, dad checks the activity log each evening to see if I have playd more -.- How can I make them give me more time?

My cousin's girlfriend who he has been dating for 5 yrs now has been moved into our house since February and I have heard 3 different stories of why she is staying with us. Even though its none of my business. I live with my aunt and uncle because I'm family and I didn't have a good childhood growing up. But I don't think its right, she has 2 older sisters she can stay with, I feel like its too crowded with her around because there was already 5 people but now there's 6( including her) living in the house. I know my uncle once told me that he was giving her until May or August to move out but I feel like over the last 4 months almost she's gotten kind of too comfortable. And, I never had my boyfriend stay the night because my boyfriend's parents used to tell us " everyone has their own bed". Which was their way of mutual respect. And my cousin's brother has a disability where he's mind is at a 2 yr old level and I don't think anyone other than my aunt and uncle should be sharing a bed. Just for the simple fact that if he saw them doing something, My cousin and his girlfriend wouldn't be able to sit down and talk to him about it or anything, because his brother wouldn't be able to understand what happened and why.

She's very upset about it, however I think it's the best for me. I had a troubling childhood with an abusive father who my mother is still with. I don't even have a relationship with him at all and because of that I feel like it affects my ability to be a good parent. I just think it's better for me to not bring a child into my world. What are ways I can make her feel better?
