Family: Question: Parents having sex WHILE ALL OF HER KIDS ARE HOME?!?

Question: Parents having sex WHILE ALL OF HER KIDS ARE HOME?!?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 02:17 PM PDT

My parents just locked their door which only means one thing. I'm 13, my brothers 17, and my sister is 14.. I find it extremely disrespectful for them to do this while we're home. Should I bring it up? It's so rude!!

Question: I have to take care of my siblings and it's ruining my life. What can I do?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 02:07 PM PDT

I'm 15 (male) and I'm the oldest of 10 kids - the youngest is only 9 months old. My mom says she always wanted a big family, yet my father travels a lot because of work and is usually away from home 3 to 4 days a week. It's pretty obvious my mom can't handle everything, so she needs me and my 13 year old sister to help her out. My sister has made it clear that she doesn't like babysitting the other kids, but I feel like I don't have a choice. Still, it's kinda hard not being able to go out during the weekends, hang out with my friends, things like that. Also, it's really hard. They are my brothers, but they are not my kids. I'm not a parent, it's not my responsibility to discipline them. I once said that to my mum and she freaked out and told me it's my responsibility as the oldest son to look after them. There are days I can't wait to be old enough to get out of here... What should I do to make this easier?

Question: My feelings for my dad are affecting my relationships. I don't know why I feel like this and I don't know what to do?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 02:04 PM PDT

I know this is a stupid question to ask on here and would better be answered by a professional but I'm a 20 yr old college student with no money. According to my grandma I had a huge Electra complex but you know for a little girl that's pretty normal. My parents got divorced when I was 7 but my dad was always there for me so I'm not one of those cases where "seeking love I never got from my father" because he loves me a whole lot since I'm his only daughter. I think I was 11 when I 1st felt sexually attracted to him. By 13 I was actively seeking out relationships with men his age. I wasn't a bad kid I was on the honor roll and participated in school clubs I just happened to be attracted to men 2 or 3 times my age. I figured I'd grow out of it but even now its an issue. Any man I'm with I want them to call me by the pet names my dad calls me, wear the same cologne and basically just pretend they're him even if they're my age. Of course thats not right or fair to these men who want a genuine relationship with someone who they believe likes them for them. Most times its a FWB situation but on the rare occasion that it gets serious the second they meet my dad they kind of start drawing connections. I dont know what to do about any of this. And I dont even know why I feel this way. Most cases I read about people in love with their fathers either didnt meet them until they were adults or were beaten which neither are true for me. Can anyone give advice or options or a little help?

Question: My 5 year old is throwing cats! What do I do?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:57 PM PDT

One year ago when I lived in Florida, my son at the time threw the neighbors kittens at a wall and laughed about it. I punished him and put him on time out. I spoke with him on how it is not nice to treat animals that way. I made him apologize to the neighbors as well. He didn t do it again until today. We have 2 kittens of our own and now living in California. He is 5 and he threw one of the cats into the wall of his closet. He did cry but showed no empathy for the cat. He was more scared of getting in trouble. What do I do? How do I handle this?

Question: How can I convince my mom to stop hating all my friends?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:57 PM PDT

I'm 15 and going into 9th grade, and I go to a private school. I have a pretty good amount of friends and my mom likes some of them, but she seriously hates the others. Every time I ask if I can hang out with them she gets mad and sometimes end up arguing about it. Like she can't stand my one friend because she says she wears clothes that are too revealing and acts too mature for her age (she's 14) My mom also doesn't like her because she says she's "too touchy-feely with me" like wth. She doesn't like another one of my friends (14 too) because she listens to too much rock music, wears black a lot, because she supports LGBT, which I do too but I can't tell her or shed flip out. :/ She also hates 3 of my other friends because she thinks they're too loud. It's getting to the point where she won't let me hang out with them because of this. I've had other friends that she stopped me from hanging out with, and I understood why, but I don't understand this. I've tried telling her that they're only 14/15 and it's not their fault how their parents raise them, and everyone has different likes and dislikes, but she won't listen. It's not like I'm being disrespectful, either. I know I can't make her change her opinion but is there any way I could try to help her see that they aren't bad people? Sorry for the long question, and please, if you're just gonna say "no one cares" or "okay" then don't answer. Thanks!

Question: My dad is insane what should I do?

Question: My brother said he'd play Pokemon Go outside the Holocaust Museum. Is this wrong?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:52 PM PDT

Question: Am I selfish for this??

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:44 PM PDT

Hey guys so I have this friend that is a girl that I am really close to, and right now she is sleeping in her car and I am 24 and still live with my parents. Currently I am suffering from some bad life choices that I've made and I'm trying to get my life back on track. It's nothing like breaking the law or anything. I just made poor choices when it came to work, school, family, etc. I currently have no job because of those bad choices and I am doing everything I can to find one.The friend of mine moved back to Seattle from Houston to take a job that paid her less money with no place to stay. I tried to tell her to stay in Houston but she didn't listen. Now she is sleeping in her car and crying and complaining every night about how she hates it. What do I do? I spend most of my days with her all day every day, staying in the car with her and just being with her. Well after doing that all day everyday. I get tired of it and want to have some time to myself. So I start playing video games with some guy friends and she calls me selfish for not hanging out with her and says I can play whenever I want and it's nor normal to play video games for hours. I'm like I've been with you all day every day this week just let me play my video games for once. Yes I said for once because she gets mad at me every time I try and play video games or just be by myself. I'm like seriously. So am I selfish for wanting to play my video games that I bought with my money???

Question: Real Estate Brokerage, and my Dad?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:34 PM PDT

My dad asked me what I'm going to do when I get my GED. I told him that I'm going to do online college and go to real estate school again. He asked me why.. So I told him why. For one thing, this is a free country and I'm never going to have some bum that never did anything for me, tell me what to do for a living. I got a f)ucking feeling that if I were homeless and destitute... Anybody out there wanting to have a problem with what I plan on doing for a living today... Would starve me to death. Then he wants to tell me what to do for a living in a country where I get to do whatever I want to do for a living in ? f)uck him. I'm going to Real Estate School. And number 2. I'm going to real estate school that when it's time for me to make kids... When I'm ready to have a family... My 6 year old kids don't have to be pitted against 16 year old smart mouth criminals. Because they'll be raised more than 100 miles AWAY from the nearest teenage thug and his deadbeat dad. And number Three... I owe the state what the state says that I owe, not what somebody else wants to get mad about not having. And I my dues. If he wants a f)ucking Cadillac, he can go EARN a Cadillac, like I'm getting ready to TRY to do. Thank you. That's what I said.

Question: Is it normal for siblings to argue?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:19 PM PDT

My little sister and I got in a big argument. I've been an only child for a long time. My sister is 6 years and I'm 15. This is our first arguement that caused us to get so mad my sister cried. Is the normal? Will everything be okay? My parents say that everything's going to be okay. My sister get along a lot. Our last arguments were for small things. Like my sister using tons of my makeup and then taking it off 3 minutes later than not leaving me any at all for example but it was only like for a minute and then we forget and get along.

Question: My parents are difficult. They are always asking me for money.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 01:15 PM PDT

Am married and only my husband works. We make decent money to support our family. But my parents always ask for money even though my father and husband make almost the same amount of money. They even ask that I give money to my aunts. They are driving us nuts. When I say no I can't give you money. They get mad at me and not talk to mr for a while. We are thinking about moving very far away from them because they are making life difficult for us. what can we do so they don't keep asking us for money?

Question: My husbands a cop and I want him to quit....but he wont..?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:59 PM PDT

With everything that is going on now I would feel safer if my husband found a different job. Even when he is in the military I wasn't this scared and he was in Iraq during shock and awe. My husband is a nice man and is not racist at all. He considers his vows as a police officer serious and does his job according to the law..I just dont want him to die because of it just because he wears a badge. We have four kids one is 15 and the youngest t is 9 months.. I dont want my 9 month old only knowing his dad from pics... He says I am wrong for even suggesting him quitting but am I?

Question: Should I forgive my cousin? He called my a failure and said I d fail at my life because im fat... And treats everyone horribly.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:59 PM PDT

My cousin grew up with no discipline from him mother... (My aunt) we grew up together and his father left when he was a baby so my dad, (his uncle) raised him like a son. (He's 13 and on a destructive path) But his mother doesn t punish him ever, for anything. Doesn t make him do his homework, chores, he does whatever and says whatever he wants... He fails ever class and is going to continue to fail without putting effort into his work and I have offered to help him with his math... I m 15 and going into my jr year at high school with decent grades.... We get into arguments sometimes and fight like brother and sister cause I thought we were like that... We recently got into an argument about his math and it ended with him saying I was a failure and was gonna be a failure at my life because I was fat... I ve never thought I could feel such hate and anger toward a family members but I have spoken to him or my aunt in days... I don t know if I can get over it this time he has said mean things before but this was the meaning thing anyone has ever said to me and he really hurt me... And worse he hasn t apologized or showed any sign of remorse... I think I m done with him.. He can t call his cousin a worthless waste of life and fat... Should I forgive him thou?

Question: Crying all day during my birthday? Help? I just want to die?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:57 PM PDT

today is my 14th birthday. I am so depressed and sad. First, I woke up. My dad comes into my room and says "Happy birthday and love you" next he says Austin (10 week old puppy) is downstairs. I have to go into work for a little bit. I WAS HOMEALONE FOR MT BIRTHDAY PET SITTING. I have been crying to since 10 AM and it s 3PM now. I canceled my birthday party because it s just such a bad birthday and dad. My dad is not doing anything and I am sitting in my bed crying my eyes out. I feel like I need to leave the world. It s been such a bad birthday. I need help. My mom or brother didn t even wish me a happy birthday

Question: My mom verbally and emotionally abuses me today i realised i truly hate her we will never ever have a normal relationship?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:56 PM PDT

I don't hate anyone as much as i hate her shes so controlling and abusive. Always brings me down. Doesn't believe in me and always fights with me. I feel like ive been selfless and its time to stop giving **** about her or our relationship.

Question: Should I go to my aunt's 50th birthday party or stay at home with my dad?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:52 PM PDT

hi, I am 15, a guy. my aunts Party is at 3PM. my dad is not sure if he has a headache or a flu but he is in bed right now. I feel bad for my dad. he wanted to go but now he's not sure if he shouldn't go or he should. should I stay home with my dad? or should I go?

Question: My brother goes into an explosive rage when mad at home but never elsewhere. Is this just him bullying therefore? He is 17?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:44 PM PDT

I know he is mad our parents divorced but he was a baby then. So is this more just him bullying our mother by choice for divorcing our Dad then some kind of psychological thing he can't help? He only rages at home in front of Mom, never school and never when seeing the father. He calls her every name in the book including once the C word. She yells back though not in the vulgar ways. A psychologist is helping them.

Question: How to convince my parents to take me and my friend to Disney land?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:42 PM PDT

So my friend who I haven't seen in one year is visiting me in a week and I really want to go to Disneyland with her. We've wanted to for a while so that would be fun. I live about an hour away from Disneyland but have never been there. But the problem is, I can't drive there myself. I need my parents to take me there and maybe my parents could stay there with my siblings and have fun too. It's a win-win situation in my mind, but my parents think differently. One, they hate driving. They don't want to do it at all. I don't know how to get around this. Two, this time of year, it's really humid so my mom doesn't want to be sweating and waiting in line and all that. So, what can I use to counter their argument? I'm lost here. I need to get things settled with my family soon because they won't let me go if they don't have time to think about it.

Question: I'm 36 and how do I not let it upset me when my mother makes passive-aggressive comments when I do something that doesn't please her,?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:42 PM PDT

She acts as though I am still 13. I live on my own but if I do something like can't make it over on a day she wants or travel somewhere other then her beach house then she gets this way. She often is suspicious that I am going to see my Dad and step-mother and not telling her. Sometimes this is true but I try to keep it a secret. She seems to be able to sense this. Also she feels grown children are still to submit to the parent (her that is). She did submit to her parents but that was always seen as weird I thought. So how do I get her to stop doing that or how can I not let it bother me? It makes events like holidays and summer travel hell. Plus it makes me have to lie about where I am going like a sneaky 14 year old.

Question: Are my parents rich? I'm in 10th grade now and dont really know.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:39 PM PDT

We have an okay house that we've lived in all our lives, though nothing amazing (I looked online and it is worth $750,000). We have nice cars (parents bought me a camry to learn on/drive, mom has a porsche, dad has a mercedes). I was never spoiled but never denied anything either. but the comment that really got me was the other day I wanted to buy some tickets to a show for $300. I asked my mom if i could charge it to the credit card, and she's like sure, don't even think twice- $300 is like pocket change for us. i work at baskin robbins just as a side job and it takes me like 3 weeks to make $300 :/

Question: Are my parents the worst?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:10 PM PDT

My father is sexist and always differs between me and my sister. I always feel bad for her. Also both of my parents are old fashioned and do not want to adopt to the new lifestyle of living(i.e. They wont let me date) they always keep asking weird questions to my friends and apparently judge them by their clothing or what their parents do. My father is a cheapskate,he rarely gives me money to hang out with my friends and whenever he does he always keeps reminding me of that, he also does not pay my medical bills. My mother always keeps spying on me even though i have never done anything wrong. They never support me in anything be it sports or my future. My mother never listens to what I have to say also i might be having the most unhealthy diet because of her. my dad just wants to show off to the society about how well reputed college I have got and how good my marks are even though he does nothing to help me achieve that. He never wants me to go out and have fun instead he asks me to stay indoors and do whatever i want to do(and that whatever just includes studying, watching tv and sleeping). Both of my parents constantly keep arguing because my father does not pay for our expenses even though he earns a lot. Also there are many more things. I am sorry that this is so long but i had to get it out.

Question: Am I just over overreacting or are they really at fault?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 12:03 PM PDT

My parents and I have been working on our house to get it ready to put it on the market then sell, then move. So last night my parents told me that they're we're getting up early and going to home depot and then start working on the house. I said "Okay, can I come?" My mom said yes, but that I'd only have time to get dress then go out the door, and have no time for nothing else.Then I said "That's fine, just wake me when you guys are ready to leave." The reason I told my mom to wake me up is because, they didn't know what time they were leaving. And my mom agreed to wake me. Long story short. They didn't wake me up, and I slept till noon. I confronted my mom. And she claims that she doesn't remember us having that conversation at all! Which made me even more mad, because I felt like she just ignored me when I was talking to her last night. And my dad says it's my fault that I didn't get up early like them. But THEY NEVER SAID WHEN THEY WERE LEAVING. So my parents think I'm lazy because I slept till noon, and that I'm upset that didn't get to go to home depot. And that the only one I can blame, is myself. Not true! I'm mad and upset, because my mom didn't listen to me, so I feel ignored. And I wanted this to be like a family project, us working on the house and stuff. I did tell this to my parents, and they said well we can work on the house together now. And forget that they ignored me and blah blah. So I ask you people, should I blame myself, or my parents?

Question: Is it immature for me to still be upset about my wife and daughter choosing a college without telling me?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 11:30 AM PDT

My wife and I's youngest child, our only daughter is going to Georgetown this coming year. I attended Princeton, for undergrad and law. My parents did the same. My grandfather, and great-grandfather did as well. My wife went to Georgetown for undergrad, but Harvard for Law. My daughter was accepted into BC, GT, Yale, Princeton, and Harvard (not the other Ivy Leagues, though.) I was under the impression she was going to Princeton, but my wife took her on a trip to GT for accepted students. When they got home, my daughter said, "Oh dad, by the way, I'm going to Georgetown." I was happy for her, obviously. I said, "Okay, let's go put down the deposit." She said, "Oh no, mom and I already did. It's official." I started to get angry, that they didn't even consult me. She then told me that Princeton was an alumni school for kids that weren't even that smart, but came from old money. This didn't really make sense, because even though my daughter doesn't like to admit it, we are old money. She said she liked GT's campus the best. It's been 3 months, but I'm still angry about it. Not actively, just silently.

Question: What do I do if I don't get along with my mom?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 11:25 AM PDT

My mom gets angry so quickly and she is verbally abusive. She says mean things to me constantly, and is always trying to make me feel bad about who I am. We're always fighting, and when we're not, we're just not talking. Just today she asked me if she could borrow one of the pillows on my bed and I jokingly said no because she never fluffs the pillows and puts them in the correct spot on my bed once she's done. She got super angry and said that she does everything for me while all I do is just sit on my bed all day like a "lazy piece of ****" and that I am a mistake and that she raised me wrong because I "have no idea how to do anything in the real world" (her words, not mine). Then she proceeded to give me a list of chores to do and stormed out of my room, slammed the door, and complained about me to every other household member in my house about how I don't do "****". Literally all I did was jokingly say no to giving her a pillow, and I was going to give her the pillow anyways, but she yelled before I had the chance to. **** like this happens ALL the time, and we're always fighting because she clearly has some anger issues and apparently, according to her, I have an attitude. We just don't get along very well and I can't stand her anymore, but moving in with my dad is NOT an option. Sorry this is long but what do I do?

Question: My family wants me to spend time with them but they're annoying?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 11:19 AM PDT

my parents always complain about how i always isolate myself from everyone in my family. for example, when there's a gathering or barbecue or whatever, id rather sit in my room playing games. its just that i dont have anything in common with my family. all of them are a lot older than me, and theres nothing to talk about with them. my family (especially my parents) are also really annoying. they're really loud when they dont have to be and they play really loud annoying music as well. i honestly just wanna be left alone or at least be with my friends because i actually enjoy being around them. my parents say im gonna regret not spending more time with them and that they'll miss me when they're gone but idk... what should i do? im a 15 year old guy btw if it matters

Question: My parents won't let me wear a bikini and arent giving me any reasons why... Help please?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 11:13 AM PDT

Ok, so I'm 13 turning 14 this month. I look very old for my age ( I'm 5'8 and a half with quite a mature body) to the extent people have asked me in shops if I work there, and everyone forgets I'm only 13, my friends and family included. It's been a joke in my family since I was tiny that "she's not allowed a bikini till she's 27" because that was what my dad told my mum when i was born. My sister (11) has worn bikinis all her life, and i go to the beach and I have to wear ugly swimsuits or tankinis when my little sisters in a full on slutty bikini. I just feel like a 4 year old, and i have lost loads of weight recently ( i have quite a lot of body image issues, nothing serious though) and i am fed up of judging myself, and want to just wear a bikini, and look cute. All my friends wear them (stupid card to pull, but try being at a pool and looking like a 17 year old in a 4 year olds costume with 13 year old girls in bikinis swimming with you). I ask my mum and dad every year since i can remember if i can get one, but every time it's "not till you're 27". I asked them yesterday for any other valid reasons why and my mum was like, "we said what we said when you were born, we're not changing our minds." I would be fine if i had a real reason why i couldnt rather than a family joke, because then i could make a comprimise and talk to them rationally, but its so hard when every time you mention it it's dismissed. Help please?? I have tried on and considered buying multiple bikinis, but i feel that is not something i want to do, as i'd never be allowed to wear it. Also My sister ( as i mentioned before ) is 11 and allowed to wear one, so i still would prefer a valid answer from them why not rather than to just go out and buy one.

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:38 AM PDT

My daughters do karate at a local school, one is 16 and one is 14. Being a protective mom, I make sure they wear all gear during class. Well, the two of them were practicing in our living room when I walked in and within a few minutes my youngest daughter kicked the older one square in the groin. I thought they were wearing their groin guards but she fell to the floor. I asked her if she had it on and she told me they never wear them and leave them in their sparring bags. Should I require they wear them?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:37 AM PDT

my mom seems to have an attitude today and she is making me cry because of it. since I go to community college I stay at home to save money. well I buy everything that I need and some of the stuff I stock up on when I have a coupon that will expire soon like soap and shampoo, I keep them in the hall closet. but the closet is so messy from towel,balnkets,dog clothes, toilet paper,sewing box and basket of stuff that we do not use anymore to the point that I had to keep my stuff in between the basket and the sewing box. so yesterday I decided to clean it up a bit, I took the basket out of the closet and got rid of the stuff that we do not use anymore or that is expired, and the basket liner needed cleaned so took it out of the closet and I decided to take a small basket that I got and put my soap and shampoo in it and put it in the closet so that people knew that it was my stuff. and the one cabinet in the kitchen I took the bottom shelf of it to put my baking stuff like chips,spices and other stuff that I got. well today my stepdad needed something from that cabinet and I said it was on the second shelf and my mom said she took over the cabinet like she did the closet. I mean come on I put one lil basket in the closet and that is considered me taking it over, I take one shelf in the one cabinet for my baking stuff and that is also considered taking over. my mom also gets mad at me when I take over more then my one shelf in the freezer and also gets mad when I take up like more then 1 inch of space in the fridge. if and only if my mom gives me an space to use in the house she expects me to use that space only and when I have to use a lil more space then what I have she gets mad at me for it I need space and she does not give to me. she made me cry today because she said that about me taking over in an attitude way and it just got to me.

Question: My sister has bullied me for years yet my parents expect me to forgive her. I don't understand why and I am upset over it.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:36 AM PDT

My sister hates me since I was born. She would physically, mentally and emotionally bully me since I could remember. She is 10 years older than me. She would do things like strangle me, cane me, etc. And when I grew older and stronger, she dare not physically picked on me but she started attacking me mentally and emotionally. Yet I feel like my parents do nothing to stop her. My dad either don't get involved whenever we fight or he will shout at me to stop it but not her. And my mum just scolds her but my sister cannot be bothered. This went on for years until I grew up. They say they do this because I'm the younger one and I am easier to manage and am more understanding and forgiving. To them and to me, my sister is more cold-hearted, self-centered, violent and she's especially mean to me. The problem is that, so I'm expected to be understanding and forgiving, but who understands my feelings, pain and depression? My mum expects me to forgive her because she herself feels like she could forgive her. And she wants to force me to forgive my sister. I don't understand how can anyone forgive someone who is 10 years older yet knowingly physically and verbally abuse someone their whole life. how does one do it? And it's not like I did not try to let her closer into my life. She did, and she just hurt me more. But to my parents, they just think I'm stubborn, petty and sensitive.

Question: I can't stand my sister, what to do??!!?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:36 AM PDT

My sister is 9 and I am a 13 y/o boy. She is such a brat!! She steals my stuff, breaks it, makes a mess of my room, beats me on the side of my head, tells my friends that she could hear me MOANING in the middle of the night, when I'm taking a shower or going to the bathroom she's found a way to unlock the door and open it so everyone can see my pooping! She knees me in the butt when I come home from school and threw a remote at my head yesterday. My parents do nothing and I hate the fat little nightmare!! Help??!!

Question: Even if my parents got divorced before I was of age to decide where to live, can I choose now that I am of age.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:26 AM PDT

Both of my parents are custodial parents, but my mom is my main custodial parent. I hate my dad's house and i always dread going over there. I'm 14 almost 15 and I just want to know if I can choose to not go back to his house ever again.

Question: Is there something wrong with me?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:25 AM PDT

My dad is in the hospital because he collapsed at his work and he has heart disease and it's getting worse but I actually want him to die. I hate him so much. I'm usually not an empathetic person but this is cold, even for me. I kind of feel bad about it but I also sort of don't since he deserves it. The reason why I feel this way is because when I was little my parents would fight a lot and yes this is normal but my dad kept beating my mom up so much that she was too afraid to go near him and always avoided him. One day it got so bad he kicked both of us out and we became homeless. My mom soon gave him a second chance because she needed a place to stay (which is his house) but he kicked her out again. My mom lives seperate from him now but she still forgives him because he has mental issues and heart disease and because she's a nice person. Me, I'm not so nice. I just want him to die already. This probably sounded more like a rant but I just wanted to let it out, lol.

Question: My sister will do nothing. No College. No Job.?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:20 AM PDT

So my sister graduated high school in 2012 and never went to college. I graduated high school 2015 and (still having a hard time finding a job) and started community college. My sister still hasn't done anything but sit on her lazy butt while my mom pampers her. It's annoying. Also she always makes fun of how im fatter than her and that I need to lose weight. I asked her one day is if she plans on looking for jobs or go to college, but she said neither. I really I really think something is wrong with her.She doesn't want to do anything but play Candy Crush Saga on Facebook and watch Youtube. She never helps around the house and thinks she's entitled to privileges she never earns. Should she see a psychiatrist or something.

Question: How do you make another person aware of the fact that someone else is being manipulative?

Question: Anger outbursts I can't control?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:06 AM PDT

My parents blame me for everything. I am completely honest with them and tell them when I've done something versus when I haven't. My younger sibling are very good at manipulating, and after multiple times of me being blamed for something my sister has openly admitted to me that she "got away with it" and I was blamed. The things are very very simple and I shouldn't cause a fuss over it, but after being blamed over and over for "stealing moms Christmas gift" or "leaving the plates on the counter" I'm getting really upset and I can't control myself. My siblings can so easily get away with these things when they just say no but for me somehow I can't. I always find that I get very upset, to the point of throwing things and even scratching myself. (today when blamed for eating the gift I got for my sister I scratched my arm in a panic attack and it bled). I can't control myself and I worry something is wrong with me. I'm only 15 and I feel like everyone thinks I'm crazy and A liar when I'm always honest Help?

Question: I don't want to die, but I hate my life sooo much?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:06 AM PDT

I'm 14, girl. My father's affair. My parents fought a lot.11 months ago, my dad started having an affair. It's affected us SO much. Rn, my mom and I are away for a month to get away from it all, my dad said he would leave his mistress in the mean time (said this MANY times). My mom thinks he hasn't left her and isn't going to. I'm not sure what to think. I genuinely don't want my parents to get a divorce, I know it would probably be best, but I wouldn't handle it. I have a very hard time getting along with anyone in my family, I feel like they all hate me. My dad has some legal issues going on but he's not like a murderer or anything like that. But he will have a criminal record. It's been a pretty rough for work with my dad. He's been through bankruptcy, being fired, and rn he's about to loose his license for the job he has rn. I don't know what to do because I'm going to go to a private school with a SUPER high tuition. Also, my family and I, we have expensive taste. It's very hard for me to live the life I have because I really wish we had more money. I know I sound like a spoiled brat but I can't help it. I have HORRIBLE anxiety. Intrusive thoughts have been taking over. I have such a low self esteem and hate every single thing about myself. I always feel like I'm a last resort or the friend no one likes. So basically: my family is falling apart, the money issues, anxiety, insecurities, and feeling friendless. I want to live a life, but just not mine. Someone please help.

Question: Am I a bad parent?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:05 AM PDT

Some have told me this makes me a bad parent. I don't see how it does. I have two kids, they are both 18 years old. After they finished 8th grade, I took them out. I was planning on home schooling them instead. I never did, I never bought them proper books to learn or taught them. I pulled them out of school, in the first place, because the school bus never came to our neighborhood. I was sick of driving them to school. They have never went to nor completed grades 9- through 12th. I am not lying. But, I wanted to teach them that nothing in this world is free. I kicked them out on their 18th birthdays. Only did that because legally by law I can. They had no money or ID's with them, because I never allowed them to have those in the first place. I'm hoping that this will teach them things are not free. I cannot see how this makes me a bad parent though. What do you think?

Question: Can I adopt her?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 10:04 AM PDT

I am a 25 year old single guy with a 15 year old niece Jill, my sister's daughter. Jill often comes to my house for help with her homework. If we finish her homework late she spends the night a my house and I take her to school the next morning. She told me she was a nervous wreck from her mom and dad fighting all the time and they were getting a divorce. She wanted to stay with me until the divorce was final. I told her that was OK with me but she needed her parents OK which I thought would NEVER happen. However her parents must have thought it was best for her not to see them fighting all the time and agreed she could stay with me until there divorce was final. I was very surprised by their decision but I think they were thinking of what their fighting was doing to Jill. Jill moved in with me and has been living with me for 3 months. She is a very nice person and is no longer depressed. We have had a lot of fun time together going to school events and sporting events. Jill ask me if I would adopt her so she could stay with me permanently. I told her that I doubt if her parents would let that happen. I don't know if you can adopt someone that has living parents. Does anyone know if that can be done? Is there a better solution than adopting her? Could she just live with me if her parents are OK with it?

Question: Should I do this to just keep peace in the family?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:48 AM PDT

I have finally saved up enough money after 5 years to get my kitchen remodeled. I got several bids. My problem is that the absolute best contractor to do the kitchen remodel in my area is my ex husband. We did not have any children and we are still on friendly terms. Besides being the best contractor he will do it for me for a lot less than the other bids I have for the job. My husband John is VERY jealous of having other men around me and especially my ex husband. He has never met my ex husband and has never seen a picture of him. Can someone suggest how I can convince my husband that it is not a problem to have my ex husband do the work. John can be here EVERY MINUTE my ex husband is doing the work if he wants to so he can see for himself that there is NOTHING going on between me and my ex husband. I though about having the work done by my ex husband and not telling my current husband the contractor was my ex husband but I dropped that idea because I did not want to mislead my husband. Is this a case where I should just accept an inferior remodel and pay more for it to keep peace in my family. ALL ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Question: What can I get for my cousins?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:46 AM PDT

I live in the USA and my two cousins live in the Philippines. We are all teenagers right now and only get to see each other every 4-7 years. The three of us are very close and I want to send them something special. I wanted to send them a customized tshirt but it ended up being $77.99 which I can t afford. Do you know any already made tshirts that are cool and are about being cousins and that I can order online? If you can t can you recommend companies that make customized tshirts for a low price (I already tried Customink)? Or just list other gift recommendations that are special. Thanks.

Question: My mother and I are about to go travel and if a member of the extended family dies while we're gone how do I make up for missing the funeral?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:44 AM PDT

My Dad's cousin has colon cancer and my mother's cousin has heart disease and now cancer. We would return if it is the great-uncle that is ill who dies or an immediate family member but for the cousin of my parent we likely would not come all the way back. I felt guilty when this happened when I was a kid and my Dad's uncle died while we were in Alaska. So what do I do if this happens and it is not someone close enough to return home? I know my mother will be angry if I try to return home even though I am an adult.

Question: Guys, could you do something this KINKY?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:42 AM PDT

I got call from my ex mother in law Janis that she wanted to go to a convention in my town but all the hotels were full. She wanted to know if she could stay with me for one night. I said sure. I had a spare bedroom she could use. She was very nice to me when Pam and I were married. I liked her when I was married to her daughter Pam but I had not heard from her since our divorce. She came by my condo and we had dinner together and we both enjoyed the meal and great conversation. The next morning when I got up she had a delicious hot breakfast prepared for us. As we had breakfast the thought crossed my mind, she is really a beautiful woman. The fact that she had on a lose fitting robe and nothing else on probably contributed to my thinking that. As she was getting ready to leave, I told her if she was in town again she was welcome to stay with me any time. She said thanks for the invitation but if I do stay with you again, only one bedroom in your condo will be used. OH MY GOD. Is that the KINKIEST thing ever? I am not sure I can do something that kinky? Guy, could you do something that kinky?

Question: My brother is with numerous girls and has promiscuous sex. What might stop this immoral behavior?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:39 AM PDT

He is 22 and a bum right now.

Question: My uncle used to always bark at his wife and kids and now one of his daughters, an adult, is having major men problems, is this normal?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:38 AM PDT

It was an uncle by marriage (aunt now divorced from him). The daughter now has 3 kids and has never been married. Both men were scums (one set of kids are twins). The father of the twins is totally out of the picture and the father of the youngest visits once or twice a year only. So is this a normal reaction for a woman having had a father that yelled all the time when she was a kid?

Question: Should I tell my mom about what my dad did yesterday?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:30 AM PDT

So my dad got really drunk yesterday and although he didn't do anything to me he pushed my step mom into the floor about 4 times. In the end, I was about to call the police but my step mom came into my room and said he finally fell sleep (this happened at about 4AM). I had a question on it (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160716233303AAZ6ZEO). Today I woke up with my step mom and dad arguing but I still haven't left my room. At the end of the day I'll be going to my mom's house. My mom will be really really pissed (since she's always been afraid of something like that happening since she divorced my dad). She might request that I don't stay at his house anymore. But I have only had the chance to see both my parents in a month (separately, but at least SEE them) for like 6 months, and it would mess up a lot of future plans (since my dad wants to move so that I go to a better school and all). But then again she is my mom and she deserves to know what's going on, SPECIALLY for something like this. Maybe not staying with my dad would be a wise choice considering how badly he treated my step mom right in front of me. Idk, what do you think?

Question: What is wrong with my parents?

Posted: 17 Jul 2016 09:27 AM PDT

My parents are mad at me because I yelled at them. My dad told me if I tell him to shut up, he will delete my FaceBook account. I so f**king hate them right now, I feel like I don't even know them anymore. I really wish I could move out, but I can't afford to. I kinda wished I could call my grandpa to pick me up, but they won't let me. What is wrong with them?
