Family: Question: My mom won't let me shave? Nor Wax, nor use depilatory creams...?

Question: My mom won't let me shave? Nor Wax, nor use depilatory creams...?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 02:01 PM PDT

She said she'll let me shave when I graduate from High School but, I even asked on my birthday if I could do it... She just yells at me every single time i bring that topic up. Even when she's in a good mood. I'm 14! I'm going to high school in a few weeks! I wouldn't want to wait 4 years... I plan on joining a club that has dancing and stuff in it too... I asked since I was 12!!! People younger than me shave, and they had less leg hair than me before they shaved... I can't do any of the 3. I want to just go outside and buy a razor or depilatory cream but, the problem is I have to share my room with her. My dad and her separated when I was in 5th grade so our house only has 2 rooms.The other room is used by my brother. They both say that you can't even see my leg hair but, I'M THE ONE THAT'S UNCOMFORTABLE! I can't even remove my armpit hair as well, it itches too, she just won't let me do any. Is there a way to make her change her decision? Before I was "supposedly" allowed to do it once i turned 15 but she "changed" her mind -.- I had my first period when I was 10-11... My hair is dark, I'm Asian... Every single time I think about it, my eyes kinda get teary... ._.

Question: My mom is saying she's a awful mother a lot?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:55 PM PDT

She comes into my room a few times each week and cries because she thinks she's a bad mother/didn't raise me right. I don't know how to help her or what to do. I tried saying that she wasn't but she kept saying she was. I also tried asking her why she thought she was bad but she didn't respond. Please help? I don't know what to do.

Question: Mother ignoring me - I screwed up?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:50 PM PDT

So last night I went out clubbing with my boyfriend, my bother and a group of our friends. My mother run us down the usual "don t drink to much. Keep your drink close etc." However, we get to the club and we all start drinking and having a good time and somewhere in between all of this, I some how lost count of my drink and became very sick, very quickly (I couldn t feel myself getting sick, I just got sick). So I naturally thought that my drink was spiked - as I have experienced before. I told my boyfriend to cal an uber and get my brother and take me to the hospital. On the way there they phoned my mom to tell her what had happened. We land up in hospital for 3 hours and my mom is so angry with me in all those hours. We got home, she refused to talk to me. I woke up this morning and she still refused to talk to me, she hasn t spoken to me all day. I apologised, got her flowers, balloons and a card to apologise too, I even picked up extra chores in the house - but still nothing, I wrote her a letter and she didn t react. I don t know what to do! My mom and I are practically best friends and I don t want her to not talk to me or get mad with me to the point where I ruined our relationship. Please, someone help. Anyone, I need to make this right again

Question: ARE you OPPOSED TO SEX OFFENDER being near kids. some may have changed?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:24 PM PDT

FAMILY- should sex offenders be treated like family and given a second chance. anybody can commit a sexual act. even being nude. but now a sexual offender for life. Is this good. does this always mean they are a risk to kids. Or is sexual offenders unchangeable and should be completely away from kids. This mean no public love and sense of family and belonging for them

Question: I can't take this anymore! What should I do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:11 PM PDT

So I'm 13 years old and let's just say I was really immature when I was younger. I was pretty when I was younger, I had a slim face and white skin. And as you can tell, I'm going through puberty so I'm getting lots of spots on my face and my skin has gotten darker. My face has also gotten fatter. So to the main bit, I was always a fat child (still am) and I was always made fun of by cousins parents. I wasn't that fat, its just my stomach would pop out but if I wore loose clothes, you wouldn't be able to see it.Now I get upset really quickly. I would start crying if someone would make a joke (I wouldn't show them, I would just go to my room and cry). Everyone still treats me like a kid. Once when we were going to a wedding, I wore makeup and put on fake nails. Then one of my cousins dad (the one that always 'jokes' around with me) said in front of everyone "look at the makeup that you put on, you look black and ugly in it and have you forgotten to cut your nails?? Why did you put fake nails on?" And everyone started laughing. I started crying and ran upstairs. I heard my cousins dad saying "what?! I was only joking!" And I heard my mum say "give her a slap! Why does she have to cry over little things". And that's the thing that hurt me so much. I never thought my mum would ever say anything like this. Everyone keeps saying "why are you crying, its only a joke" but Jokes hurt me too. No one understands how upset I always am. I sometimes cry myself to sleep (Other reasons too).

Question: Is my friend jealous of my pregnancy?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:11 PM PDT

Iam currently 14 weeks pregnant and when I first found out at 6 weeks I only told my mom grandparents and his parents. I've decided not to tell anyone until I was pass 12 weeks. Well I've told my one friend last night and she say what..congrats. But then says well If I was you I wouldn't tell anyone until your showing. I felt some type of way because she knew I've had miscarriage before so this pregnancy is different and looking good. I kno she can't have any children so i didn't throw it in her face I just said I just found out I'm pregnant , even tho I been knew at 6 weeks I'm just now saying something. Then she says well u kno people speak evil into your pregnancy. I'm like well what GOD has for me is for me. I think she's a little jealous

Question: Does my dad need help?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 01:07 PM PDT

Hey, I'm a 17 year old living with my mother & father. Recently i've been noticing strange things about my dad. It all started back when i was 12 my parents got into a heated argument, my dad left for a few days and came back and apologized, i thought it was over, but not until last year. Last year , my dad picked her up from work, my mom called me to say to wait because she had to finish something,& her office is visible from an outside, one of her coworkers walked in to get something,& left but my dad assumed he was talking to her and walked up to him and got into a argument, he was arguing for nothing, that made my mom mad and my dad took his anger out on her. When we got home they continued the argument, i'm not going into details but eventually my dad left again and came back the next day. 2 months ago, my parents were in the living room, my dad had bought her roses earlier, but my mom just started confessing that she felt like he didn't love him anymore, my dad said to forgive her, she didn't, he acted like if he was so innocent. Ever since then my dad goes to places without us, he always has a attitude with us, he always get jealous whenever my mom is somewhere where there are men, im like come on, theres going to be men everywhere. But then again, everytime he also tries to flirt with women sometimes, even when im around. My mom says he spies on her, they are thinking of a divorce after i go to college, which is fine but im worried for my dad. Where can i get help?

Question: New step mother in need of help!?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 12:38 PM PDT

I'm a new step mother and I need some serious advice. I recently became a mother and step mother around the same time and I'm finding it a difficult transition. My step children come from a pretty hard background and so I've been trying to make things as easy on them as possible. Their mother is barely in the picture at all but when she is she has no problem bad mouthing me to the kids and making sure they know they have to choose between us. I never bad mouth the mother to them or anywhere they could possibly overhear. It's gotten to the point that I feel helpless and unwelcome in my own home. I feel like every time I try and discipline any of them for things they're not supposed to do I come off as a bully or a bad person. I'm wondering if there are any parents or step parents out there that have any advice or tips that can help me.

Question: I think my dad wants to leave us?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 12:27 PM PDT

So my dad has been having a lot of arguments with my mom this year... He's recently been lecturing me and my sister about the way banking works, when to buy things at the right time, how to save money, how to communicate clearly, etc. And yes I know that's actually a very good thing for a parents to do but what's weird about it is that he's never done that until about last month. And he got us new phones. And he really wants to get us passports and state I.D's... It makes sense for me to get a state I.D because I'm old enough to need it but my little sister doesn't but he really wants to get it. I asked him why and he said you guys are going to need it. And he isn't very comfortable hanging out with us as a family. I don't know what he's thinking.

Question: My mum makes me sleep in the garden, won't let me come inside, help?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 12:19 PM PDT

I'm a 39 year old man and for most of my life I lived with my mum. Last year she kicked me out when she got a new boyfriend. I lived with my gran but then she died and I had nowhere to live. For a short while I was homeless so my mum said I could come back but I have to live in a tent in the garden until I get my own place. This is so unfair, why can't I just live in the house with her? It's a four bedroom house, it isn't like there isn't space for me. She lets me in for dinner but other than that says I have to stay outside. I even have to use the outdoor toilet! This is outrageous. What kind of a mother does this? How do I get her to let me stay in the house?!

Question: What Should I Do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 11:31 AM PDT

So I Am 17 And I Am A Senior In HS And My Sister Is 19. I Don't Have A Job But My Sister Does, The Way I Get My Money Is Braiding Hair.

Our Family Situation Is Hectic So Nun Of Us Stay Together , I Dont Stay With My Mom Or Dad So I Had To Basically Get All My School Stuff Myself

Question: I need some advice! My step kids are coming over tonight, I simply do not like them at all.?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 11:25 AM PDT

I am not allowed to correct them in anyway or have an opinion of them. When my husband is not around they are very rude to me. Even if he steps outside to smoke, they start getting crappy with me. If I say anything to him about they way his kids act, The kids(ages 10 and 12) claim I am lying, and he will believe them. When my husband is present this kids will hug me. At one point his daughter wrote on I hate Bonnie on our wall, then claimed she didnt write it, I had to clean it off. I could go on all day about things his kids have done or said about me. I have tried to talk to my husband but he acts like I am making stuff up. Also He will bring the kids over and I am the one who has to clean up after them. I love my husband and leaving is the last resort. Just hoping somoeone else may be going though the same thing and have some advice for me. My husband and I have been married for 7 yrs. This has been going on since his kids was 3 yrs and his son was 5. HIs daugghter has gotten so bad that she would rather sit in the floor, than sit next to me on the couch. I have tried to be nice to these 2 kids. I have even spent money out of my own pockets so they would have clothes to where while they are at our house. I remember one christmas to where my step daughter would not take a gift home because I bought it for her. My husband ex-wife told me I was in no position to correct her kids, since I do not have children of my own. Any advice would be appreciated. My husbands ex-wife threw him and his eldest son out when (he has 3 kids with 2 different women) his daughter was only 6 mths old. I would be more understanding if his 2 youngest kids where older when they separted. My oldest step son lived 1200 miles away. He calles me twice a wk. we exchange emails and pics, I love him to death! I would do anything for him. I fell like he is my own son.But I am sick to death of his younger 2!

Question: Leave Abuse Parents?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 11:13 AM PDT

It all started when my dad was freaking out about a handyman that left us and didn't finish the job he told me to change my mom's facebook password because she brought him and I didn't have a choice. Since then my mom spit on me multiple times and banged my leg with a chair so hard I think I might of sprained it or injured it in some way. Its only getting worse and worse they are calling eachother names and my mom is just going to random places and now my dad thinks she's cheating and sometimes my dad throw things and I just want to get out of it. I used to like my parents even though they always fought especially my dad but he's saying he's going to kill himself because I hit him because he tried to throw something at my mom that would of hurt her. Again really didn't have a choice. I just want to leave I also have a dog and I'll only leave if he can somehow come with me wherever I go

Question: My wifes parents don't like my daughter just cause she's part of me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 11:07 AM PDT

My wifes parents never liked me, especially after I adopted my wifes other daughter long time ago but my wife wanted me to. The parents treated the older daughter just like any grandparents would but when my wife had my daughter they treated her like they always treated me. My wife just let her parents continue to treat my daughter bad but everytime I wanted to approach her parents about thier actions towards my daughter my wife said dont. I wanted my daughter to grow up with both parents and a sister so I stayed with my wife (even though my wife seemed not to appreciate anything I do for her). And I've done my best to provide for my family and my wife has seziures and Ive always taken care of her and always at the hospital too whenever she was. I cooked and cleaned for my wife and it seems like her parents still dont like me or my daughter. Now I feel really bad cause now that my daughter is 19 she thinks it's ok, I blame myself. How do I go about change her way of thinking that that's ok to be treated like that?

Question: My cousins are animal abusers, please help!!!?!!?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:28 AM PDT

We stayed at their farm last week, and in that time they showed me all the sadistic "games" they like to play. Every night, they go out to the field and shoot stray cats with BB guns. They also torture and kill small animals like chipmunks and foxes by trapping them in cages and beating them with sticks and rocks. I have also seen them do worse stuff, but it's all too gory to describe here. They don't do any of this to their own dogs, but they have no mercy for other people's pets. I brought my cat along on the first day, and on the fifth day I caught them about to fill her water bowl with antifreeze. After that I beat their a*ses and refused to speak to them for the rest of the visit. I'm not sure what to do now, but I do know that they're disgusting sadists. What do I do?

Question: Why does my family think all i care about is fashion and makeup?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:26 AM PDT

Im not that shallow.... I mean, yes, i do wear a little foundation, mascara, and a brow product, and i do want to go blonde, but im not a super dumb shallow teenage girl. I would love to be a car mechanic or a model (but im 5'3) and i do like to shop but its only window shopping! I never buy anything unless its back to school time and i rarely text people. I do love reading about modeling or classic cars and i also love movies… but they always compare me to Haley on Modern Family and treat me like i have an iq of 60. Why is that? In elementary school i cared so much about good grades (i aim for straight Bs now) so why do they treat me like im so dumb? Will they do it even more when im blonde?

Question: Am I wrong? Or is this insane?? Tupperware fight.?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:26 AM PDT

So I'm an adult-I work in the same building as my mom. My mom offers to give me salad in her Tupperware container and gives me a fork(both look like she brought them from home) so I bring it back to her house and clean it and forget about it. The next week we're at work and she flips out(this is right before I have clients) she starts yelling at me about how I don't pay attention and how I didn't bring it back to work and pretty much flipping out over this Tupperware container-she then brings up stuff from FOREVER ago when I use to forget things a lot (things that don't even equal this small thing) so I then go out and get her a metal fork and Tupperware container that looks just like the one she had (she is ridiculous like that and f I would have gotten her an actual bowl and fork that go together she would have hated it) so I go bring her this Tupperware thing and she flips even more and was like " why did you waste your money-I don't any to use this cheap fork-I want my actual fork and container from the other day" which I already told her they were clean at the house. She then goes off on me again saying "I obviously don't pay attention and know that she uses that every day" am I missing something? Am I go crazy? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??

Question: Should I have a right to be upset?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:18 AM PDT

I have to always watch my cousin while his deadbeat dad goes out doing whatever etc and I'm forced to watch him all the time to point where I can barely go out if I try to my grandmaoints out got no one to watch him etc etc and so I have to stay home no matter where I go whenever I go out i can't even have fun BC somehow it ends up with having to watch him I don't mind sometimes but again he's not my child and not my responsibility.Wanna know the funny thing he told my step dad he prob got a nothrr girl prego like if u can't take care of one what in the world u doin almost having another.First my mom tells me mwhen I used to feelt bad n guilty and tried to watch him, that he isn't my responsibility but now she's acting like he is when I'm babysitting him yeah but reality check not truly he's my uncles responsibility.

Question: I hit my little sister, I'm I evil because of this?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:13 AM PDT

I hit my little sister, I poke her in the face I'm 17 she's ten. We hit each other all the time. My older sister used to hit and punch me a lot. I'm I a evil person for hitting her and poking at her face?

Question: Why are my parents so ******* strict?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:07 AM PDT

Just because I had my ear buds plugged in listening to music, and I slept with them on my dad was like "You could've burned your face off" so he took it away and hid it. I'm ******* 14 turning 15 in 2 weeks and he treats me like I'm 6. I just want to know why he does this. I'm not a ******* kid. I've never hung out with friends, he let me exchange numbers with them but I don't ever call them or pick there calls up when they call me cause of my strict *** dad.

Question: Former eating disorder sufferer, diet-food obsessed sister bad influence for me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 10:04 AM PDT

I'm 22 and I've suffered from an eating disorder on-and-off (I've been underweight, once quite seriously, twice.) I am currently a healthy weight. Long story short, I find that certain types of people/situations are negative influences for my own self-perception and consciousness of my own diet. For example, people who are vary concerned about their calorie intake & diet/closely monitoring it tend to make me feel stressed: I can't help but compare my own diet, and feel guilty about my own food intake, and I (sometimes without meaning to) restrict my own calories more, lose my appetite etc....I'm much happier around people who are more relaxed about food; they may be slim and healthy, but they don't scrutinise or obsess. My younger sister used to be a little overweight, ate lots of junk. She then lost some weight, and is now a healthy weight, but not super slim. She seems to be very focused on her food, buying everything low calorie & zero fat, not eating foods she used to enjoy.....Hence, I feel quite anxious and unhappy at home, and avoid going home when she's there. I stayed in my university town over the Easter vacation (6 weeks) and avoided coming home this summer....I'm only home now because I'm broke!! I just feel my sister is a negative influence on me and I'm already bad enough with my dietary habits and scrutiny - I don't need more of it thrown in my face at home. How can I cope with this situation? I have to stay at home for another 3 weeks or so

Question: My 16-year old daughter was recently diagnosed with depression. What do we do to make her feel better?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:54 AM PDT

She's just laying down in her room (not sleeping, just staring into space) and she doesn't want to get up. For the first time ever, she's not even on her phone or computer. She also hasn't eaten. It's been almost two days and her father even drove an hour to a candy store to get her favorite chocolates but when we showed them to her, she just gave us a sad smile and said she wasn't hungry. Her friends came to check up on her but she told us to tell them she wasn't home. She's not even being rude or sassy like teenage girls usually are. She isn't doing anything. She's just lying in bed looking sad, tired and just genuinely depressed and we can't take it anymore. What do we do to make her feel better? @Anonymous. She was diagnosed about two weeks ago. At first, she acted like it was no big deal and even insisted on going to school after the doctor's appointment. She went about looking normal for a week after and acted like nothing happened and even refused to take her meds because she said she didn't need them then this week, yesterday morning, I noticed she didn't go to school and went to check up on her and she was in bed and said she couldn't get up so I insisted on her taking her meds ...but then after that is when she started acting like this.

Question: I hate my fcking step dad!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:44 AM PDT

Ever since my mom got a fcking boyfriend she has just about neglected me. I hate her boyfriend to his damn fcking guts. Ever since he came into the picture, when my mom tells me she's gonna get me something or take me somewhere, she always backs out at the last minute just to be with him. I am tired of seeing him everyday. I wish that mother fcker would just go DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not give a damn. They are even talking about getting married, and I damn sure do not want to go, and she is gonna force me to. I SWEAR THAT IF I GO TO THIS FCKING WEDDING AND I SEE THEM KISS, I WILL THROW UP IN MY DAMN MOUTH. I even sometimes run in my room and cry with anger, just to think of how my mom has took the time that she used to spend with me and uses it with him. WHAT REALLY JUST PISSES ME OFF IS THE FACT THAT SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE GONNA DO SOMETHING AND THAN SHE CHANGES HER MIND AT THE LAST MINUTE. When I try to talk to her and tell her how I feel, she's like if its concerning her boyfriend she doesnt want to talk to me. And when i tell her I feel like she's neglecting me, shes like or your full of ****, I do spend a lot of time with you and she trys to find every reason to defend herself. I've tried to talk to her multiple times and I still get the same answer. I'm to the point where I just wanna go and stay with my my real dad. My moms boyfriend has to nerve to say he will never get in the way of me and my mom, WELL ***** THATS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. PS I'm 12 and a half.

Question: Why do they always doubt me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:30 AM PDT

I am a 14 year old girl. I enjoy Science/ Social studies and anything that has to do with science. I love to do things with weather. Its just so interesting to me. I love how it works, I love everything about it. I track the weather, tornadoes/thunderstorms/hurricanes and I watch the weather channel everyday. Also I sit there for hours just looking at it and studying it. I want to be a meteorologist someday or anything else that has to do with weather/atmosphere. Anyway, My dad and brother in law (he hates me) always doubts me in weather. Whenever I say its going to rain/be sunny my dad takes my brothe rin laws side saying (yeah its not supposed to rain a screen doesn't say anything). It just hurts me all the time when my dad takes my brother in laws side on things. And I know about the weather :( I know what its going to be like and stuff. I wouldn't lie about the weather. My mom believes me all the time and she is proud of me. But when it comes to my dad in the same room as my brother in law...no support no nothing. Just wish he wouldn't do these things or say these things. I don't know what to do. It always makes me cry. Yes there has been big **** in the past with us and my brother in law. Terrible things happen but doesn't mean he still has to bully me really bad.. What do I do about this?

Question: I feel like my family isn t the same anymore and were all falling apart?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:30 AM PDT

Things at home were completely fine and happy about a year ago but since then I feel like gradually its all started going downhill. My dad started a new business and for that he needed allot of money which he didn t have so he borrowed it off people, at first all was good but then the business wasn t working well and the time to pay back the people came. My dads been trying sooooo hard to get the money to pay them back but now it s just become too hard and all he does at home is stress about his debt. All of us at home try to help him and distract him a little too so he doesn t fall in to depression or anything. I m the only and oldest daughter with two little brothers who don t quite understand it all. My mums been trying to help too but lately shes just become moody and now I feel like I m all alone and I m the only one trying to keep this family from falling apart. I try my best to make sure that we all talk and have good conversations without bringing up the debt but when I think back to how it was before it just makes me really sad. Because before we would all laugh and share jokes and have family time but now it s nowhere near that and I just don t know what to do anymore

Question: How to get phone back?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:21 AM PDT

I'm kind of the scapegoat in the family. Earlier today, My sister and I were in the basement messing around on some homemade skateboard ramps. My father came downstairs, only to notice that the things we were using to hold up the ramps were part of the old baby crib, I hadn't known because my sister found all the wood, and she wanted to put it together. He went off, and automatically assumed me. Being the older brother I did take the blame, and my father got extremely pissed off. He gave me a lecture about how he was going to pass them down to us if we ever had kids. During this lecture he decided to swing at me, luckily I barely dodged only too see my dad walking at me with a fury in his eyes that I've never seen before. It honestly scared the **** out of me. I kept my hands up just in case because he threatened me with,"you better keep those hands up" and things of that nature. I had to give him my phone and factory reset it. Now I no longer own a phone (now my phone is the home phone according to him) and I don't want to rat out my little sister because I don't want to be that much of an asshole. During this whole time all he did was give my sister a glare, while he swung at me and cussed me out. I'm a 15 year old male, but I'm skinny as hell, and short. I don't really have a way of defending myself and I'm fearful that my dad would hurt me if I decided to speak up against him. Help?!

Question: I dont have a mom?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 09:00 AM PDT

So my mom leftt me when i was like 8 and we've talked a handful of times throughout the years, but we dont talk anymore (im 17 now) but she talks to my father and brothers still. When people ask me about my mom i just tell them 'i don't have a mom" is this way too dramatic? what do i say when they ask about her, i don't want to tell them my life story lol

Question: What's wrong with my son?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 08:43 AM PDT

So, I am the father of a 26 year old man. I've always been very worried about my son, because he displayed sociopathic tendencies. As a child, he had a huge entitlement streak and a huge temper. One word thing is that he cares a lot about puppy mills and homeless people, but at the same time, he bullied his own peers. As of now, he has made a lot of money, but he basically uses it to ignore people. I mean, it's been three months since I've talked to him. He literally avoids contact with others. (He has work from home). He dresses very nice, but I don't know why, because he never goes out. He bought a corvette, but never drives it. He has few friends. I asked one of them if he had a girlfriend or a boyfriend. The friend, Jack, has known my son frim college, and as far as he knows, he's never been in a relationship. I don't see why. He's not a bad looking guy, he dresses nice, has money, and has a pretty good personalty. Anyway, why does he seclude himself like this?

Question: Why is my brother so overly emotional?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 08:36 AM PDT

My brother is nine years old and all he does is scream and cry. Every morning he makes my mother late for work by sleeping in and then crying that he didn't hear her calling for him. He has ginormous tantrums about everything. Whenever we go to the store he wants to buy everything and then makes a scene by tossing things and screaming when my mom tells him no. He constantly hits me but when I retaliate he starts screaming and punching and kicking me or bursts into tears and sobs that I'm being mean to him. Whenever he doesn't want to do something he claims he's too tired but as soon as something he wants to do happens he is miraculously no longer exhausted.

Question: Helpp what should i do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 08:31 AM PDT

It sometimes feels like my mom doesn't really care about me because she is always giving her undivided attention to my sister even when it's just me and her. She always takes her side even if she's wrong and i once overheard her saying that she knows she cares more about my sister. I really hate it so I've been buying my own things to make a point of how she buys so many un needed things fo my sister but when i actually need something she forgets and now shes just more possed at me that i spent so much money and doesn't even give a damn and i just hate it so muchhhhhhhh

Question: I don't know what to do anymore. Need advice please?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 08:28 AM PDT

I don't know what to do anymore, my mom is always fighting and yelling at me and today I wasn't feeling well so I forfeited my Top 10 chess tournament after only 2 rounds, my dad came to pick me up and when I got home my mom was furious, I said I was sorry but she yelled : It's your choice in that irtitated\disgusted way. Would running away make her realize how depressed she's making me feel? Or what would?

Question: Why am I so impressionable?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 08:00 AM PDT

Ever since I was little I've always been very impressionable. I'm now 21 years old and I'm so affected by everything. Ever since I can remember, I get scared very easily, I'm emotional, and I just let everything get to me. I can't watch horror films because I will have nightmares for like a week. I'm very scared if anything bad happens, like I feel scared for my safety just going to the store if I hear that something bad happened there. I'm also so timid like with sex. I'm still a virgin, which is super rare at my age, especially for a guy. I can't just get past my insecurities and I just get so worried about everything. Sex actually scares me. It's very weird because I was not a sheltered child at all. My parents both worked and my brother was involved in gangs and drugs and my father left us and now it's just my mother and I working minimum wage jobs just to make ends meet. I live in a very rough place in south central Los Angeles and I've lived here for the past 12 years or so, I see violence, I hear about it and I don't know I'm so impressionable. My parents are not very religious either, so that's not it. Also, I've gone through many things without any guidance, like the first time I had a sexual experience, or navigating through college(still doing it), there was no one to tell me what to expect, I just did it to the best of my abilities. I never had anyone to give me advice because my family lives far away and my mom just grew up so differently from me and so she has no advice for me. She just says, just try your best and be a good person but like in terms of my education, or social situations, or things like sex, there's nothing for me, I just have to figure it out and yet I'm so impressionable, to everything! I'm the kind of person who won't try anything without a guarantee of the outcome. Why am I so impressionable?

Question: IS IT OKAY FOR MY MOM TO TREAT ME THIS WAY?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 07:31 AM PDT

I'm 22 yrs of age & I still live with my mother and her boyfriend. I'm going to college soon & I do work. I want to find my own place but I'm kind of nervous to live out on my own & I'm an only child and that makes it harder & not to forget it's costly living in NYC. I do give some money toward the house expenses every month. With the job I have I don't have enough to help anymore than what I give. My dilemma is my Mom all of a sudden wants to put a curfew on me. My mother has been letting me go out with my cousins&friends past midnight since 14 yrs old. I don't drink or smoke. When I do go out we always have open communication. SO last night I go to and see my father who just came back from the hospital. He lives in a different borough from me so it takes time traveling back&forth.I decided to come back at 7 in the morn & called her and told her earlier. I came that time out of respect for her so I'm not coming back home in the middle of the night & it's same time I would've came had I worked overnight. Now she doesn't want me coming in at that time anymore & that my curfew is now 2 - 4 A.m She says I am respectful & responsible but that these are her rules now & If I don't like it I have to live somewhere else. I'm hurt because I don't get where this is coming from. I can see if I was wild doing drugs&drinking but I do NONE of those things because I don't believe in that cause I love the Lord Jesus Christ. & I never really go out anyway If I do it's few and far between.

Question: Do you think I should tell my mother I have failed my IGCSE or should I wait until she asks about it?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 07:00 AM PDT

So I got my results sometime this week and I have failed miserably. I got 2 C's, 1 B and the rest were worst than c's. I did put some effort but not all the time and i'm very scared to tell my mother because she will get furious when she sees my results. To make things worse, the teachers in my school had many complaints saying I don't put effort, i'm lazy, and I have a bad attitude. Do you think I should tell my mother now or wait until she asks?

Question: My mom doesn't try to understand or even care how I feel?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 06:55 AM PDT

So last night my family all went out to dinner. It had been my second day of school and I was a little upset and worried about some things, I was trying not to let that show so I had normal conversation. Until I thought out loud, "I think we are out of fruit at home." Then my mom started saying how I don't appreciate anything she does for me and I'm always complaining and I can go a day without fruit in the house and she has it really hard and I don't understand what it's like to be an adult and next week I'm going to have a talk with my dad about how much things cost and all the money they spend on me. (this went on until I was actually crying because of how terrible I felt about myself, this happens sometimes multiple times a week and the waitresses at these restraunts probably think im some over emotional brat) Things and money. My mom thinks I'm not grateful for the money she spends on me, but I am and I let her know every day and I help out a lot. it's hard to go to work and raise two kids. It doesn't matter how many vacations we take or nice meals we have, that can't make me be happy all the time no matter how much I appreciate how fortunate we are. And it's hard to be a teenager too, which she never mentions. She acts as if my feelings do not matter as if I'm too young to feel. And when I tell her that I'm doing anything other than good or great (i have given up on saying that I'm not doing fine) she takes it personally and thinks that I'm complaining when really I just want a parent to confide in.

Question: Would I exist if my parents had never met...?

Would I be born to the different mother or father? 

Question: I snuck out and my mom found out...?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 06:24 AM PDT

im 15 years old and my mom found out i snuck out, i lied and said i was at my friend reeces house with a lot of people and she is calling all their moms to figure out what i did that night. I know i shouldn't have lied but i ended up going to my boyfriends house then to lifetime from reeces house. I'm so scared because once she calls their moms she will find out I didn't spend the night at one of their houses. Please help my mom has lost all trust in me and she is going to kill me

Question: He is demeaning me and my accomplishments?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 06:22 AM PDT

We have been together for a year and a half now. He criticizes me because I do not have my own place yet (I'm in my twenties ). He has two kids by two different women in two different states. He is currently job searching and has been living off his savings. His savings is running low so he is planning on staying with one of the moms until he gets a job. I just got a promotion at a new job a few months ago and am planning to have my own place soon. But he says he doesn't respect me because I haven't "lived" life. I pay rent and all of my bills while living at my mom's house. I am working on my Masters and constantly building my savings. It's never good enough for him. He even compared me to his son's mom and said he respects her because she has her own properties. It is very hurtful because I have been through a lot, none that he knows about but I feel like I should have to explain myself, trials, and tribulations. He is still calling me his friend after dating a year and a half. Any suggestions on dealing with this?

Question: Is it ok if I don't feel close to my mom?

Question: Am I being mean for not making breakfast?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 06:09 AM PDT

So it's me, my mom and my brother that live together. If I have to make pancake for myself, I can't do that because my brother wants pancakes too and he eats a lot. So too lazy to make pancakes for him as well so I decided to not cook no more pancakes not even for myself at the house. I'm lazy in the morning. And I eat a little bit not that much. My brother does not work and we are helping him until he gets a job. I'm the youngest, I work 2 jobs and go to school. It's not fair for me to cook breakfast as well. So I stopped cooking pancakes all together. My mom was like "Why you don't cook anymore?" I don't want double the work

Question: What should i do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 04:41 AM PDT

Hello guys. I am a boy from albania a very poor and corrupted country. I am 15 years old and i have a very big stress because i want to do something but because of my age i cant do anything. Everything starts with my dads side of the family which are 7 kids(4 boys 3 girls) and their parents where my dad is the oldest of them all. My three uncles and 1 of my aunts live in Australia. In 2010 my grandparents went to Australia to stay there for a year. One year later my dad decided to ask my relatives in Australia to help me and my family to go and live in Australia but they didnt do such a thing in fact they did everything only for us not to go there. My mom thinks that they didnt help us only because my grandparents want their son(my dad) to stay with them but according to the tradition the youngest son should stay with his parents. My dad never understands that and he only forgives them. This year my sister might have a chance to go there for bachelor but my relatives dont want her to go there becuase if she goes there than with family union she can take my parents and me and they surely dont want that. I am in a stress where i dont know how to get out and i want your opinion. Thank you for reading my story.

Question: In Need Of A Last Name With No Meaning?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 03:53 AM PDT

I don't want to go into it, I don't want to give my life story right now But basically I'm not proud of my family and our relationship isn't good. They don't even see me as one of them no matter how hard I try. I'll be moving away within a year or two so I'm not crying about it Basically, I don't want to have their last name. My name is very important to me and I can't stand having them attached to it But, I don't want to just straight up take someone elses last name - they have families and histories and family trees and stories and I don't want to intrude on that So what should I do? What can I change my last name to? I've been thinking about using "Stone" since it's just a ******* rock but, any other suggestions will be appreciated Thank you in advance

Question: Does my cousin hate me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 03:52 AM PDT

When I went to visit I asked if he wanted to hang out and he said no, when I asked if he wanted to go to the beach he said "I despise the beach" Yet all last week he went on a beach holiday (I wasn't invited on the holiday) with the rest of our cousins. Why would my cousin go on holiday with the rest of the family yet leave me to walk around alone. I visited him BEFORE he and the rest of my relatives went on their family holiday.

Question: Is your elder sister like kine ?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 03:51 AM PDT

My elder is so selfish , she doesn't bear me at all. She is not cooperative at all, she criticises me whenever she gets chance , she insults me infront if my friends and relatives nd keeps bashing me that how am such a lower nd that I cannot talk nd active sharply nd how other girls are much better than me. She won't let me enter her room , I was charging my mobile in her room she saw me nd kicked me out. She would never appreciate my house work nd my cooking but would rather find flaws in it.

She's such a witch, once I was crying due to a eye problem, my eye was hurting nd she keeps telling me that don't make such a fuss, u r drama queen etc etc. What to do ?

Question: My parents think I STEAL their money??

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 02:40 AM PDT

Basically "someone" is taking their money. They have this place where they keep their money and somehow there were missing 100$. And they think I stole that money but I have not taken a cent and I have no need to steal their money. They keep questioning me about where is it and this time they are very serious about it. They always lose something, then they blame me, and then later they "find it". And I think this time its the same. what should I do to convince them that I have not stolen it?

Question: What do I do if I don't enjoy my dad's company?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 02:32 AM PDT

I'm 15. My parents have divorced. I live with my mum and my dad lives separately. My mum forces me to spend my time at my dad's place on every weekend. I've been doing that for years but as I grow older, I realise that it's becoming one of the things that I hate to do the most. I don't know if it's me or my dad has changed, but now I hate being with him. Whatever he says pisses me off, his way of thinking and treating people around just make the situation worse (he's the very aggressive type, I must say). I haven't done any inappropriate things to him, though, I just be quiet at the times he's mad at me or the people around. I never liked being with him; but at first it's just that 'I don't like' and now it's growing as 'I hate it'. I'm trying to find a way to minimise the time I have to spend with him but my mum won't let it happen. Now I get desperate everytime it comes to the weekend. What do I do? Please help me..

Question: OLDER SISTER IS A B*TCH TO ME?

Then she will start annoying me by kicking or slapping me but when I HIT BACK she get SO angry at me and she won't speak to me for like a months. When we argue she says that she gonna post an embarrassing picture of me online. She will start saying hurtful things to me so she can make me cry. All those things she says makes me want to cry but I don't want her to see that I'm about to cry. She is the biggest b*tch to me.

OVERALL IM 16, I come from a good value family, my mom told me to kill myself a few months ago, I did , doctors saved me I guess. My mom calls me a *****, whor3, ***** almost every day. I tell her to please stop but she tells me to stfu. She is not bipolar, she doesn t seem depressed, she laughs and smiles with me everyday as well. She continues to tell me to kill myself , it s not on impulse, she sctually talks to me to tell me to die. She also tells my twin brother to die as well. He has seizures every now and then and she occasionally says " I hope you have another seizure and suffocate and die ". My mom buys us clothes, feeds us and gives us love buT ALSO has this negativity towards us .. Why? She is not crazy, I love her and I would never call the cops on her.. She does hit me and my brother but open hand, when i was younger they would put rubber bands on our wrists and snap it, they would put 2 pennies and make us sit on it with our knees facing a wall for about 30 minutes. To me, it s not abuse , it s discipline. But my mom is constantly making me so negative and unhappy. She makes me feel ugly and she s been calling me a ***** since the 5th grade.. But why does my mom hate me so much. I did every sport there is, I ve won medals, I went to state for tennis, I get straight A s, I am genuinely a good kid. Please someone help me. My mom doesn t see my perspective when I try and talk to her, she ends up screaming at me and calling me a name.. Plz help.

Question: How to move out of my mom's house ?

Question: Help, my mum has feelings for my uncle?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 12:56 AM PDT

It's so obvious that she likes him but doesn't even try to hide it. What I hate the most about thid is that my uncle ( the husband of my dad's sister ) hates me and I hate him, we pretty much argue all the time over little things but even if I'm right my mun will defend him. She's ridiculous!!!!

Question: Why is my brother horrible to me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2016 12:06 AM PDT

Why? I'm embarrassed to say I'm older than him but he's the one who pushes me around. We are both around our late teens. I'm very skinny and he's lot bigger than me and kinda intimidating. I tried reaching out to my parents for help but the problem is we are all a little bit afraid of him he bothers all of us. God forbid I stand up to him he will hit me. I've actually gotten a black eye a couple times from him. He barges in my room without knocking and won't leave and just starts slapping me around. He bullies me around a lot over my interests of they aren't the same as his. He treats me like I'm retarded if I disagree with him on things. It seems he always wants everyone to be happy except for me and I don't know what else to do I cry all the time because of it... I'm this close to trying drugs just to numb the emotional pain inside because I don't want to bother anyone else over my problems.

Question: Is my child rude?

Posted: 12 Aug 2016 11:59 PM PDT

My 6 year old daughter went with us to a restaurant and it was full and there was a wait and one open table and the man who worked there told us we would have to wait and my 6 year old daughter interrupted and cut the man off and said "what about that table no one is sitting there" after the man already explained it was revered. Is my daughter rude and out of line? I don't think she is, I think she is smart however my sister in law and friends have told me she needs better boundaries and not to cut off adults when they are talking.

Question: I think my father molested me as a child, could i be right?

Posted: 12 Aug 2016 11:49 PM PDT

My childhood is blurry and i can't remember a lot of it, but i remember certain parts which i find disturbing. Once i remember my father pulling down my pants and touching me, at the end of the memory who looked dissapointed and pulled my pants back up. Then my sister got back on meth again and slipped up and said to my other sister that she doesn't want me to watch my niece because i was molested. My other sister is accusing my meth sister of doing it, but idk nobody expects it because my dads straight but i feel like its my father. I just want to know so i can kill the person, but what if it was my sister? My other sister asked me about it, and i think i had a fake flashback of her being on top of me, and me feeling a tingle. Not sure though if its real. I apologize for not using names but idk i already feel uncomfortable even typing this in on the internet, i just don't know what to do about it.
