Question: Can I become an alcoholic if my father is one but my mom is not?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 01:44 PM PDT

So I m 22 years old and just graduated from college. My father has been a raging alcoholic for about 30 years of his life. He is bipolar, but it was not passed down to me. I am not bipolar. I have only maybe had two small glasses of champagne as a teenager for celebrations. My biological mother does drink casually. She doesn t seem to be addicted to it. Same thing with my grandparents on both sides of my family. No one in my family except my biological father is an alcoholic. If I were to start drinking now, would I become addicted? Or how do I keep myself from becoming addicted?

Question: I'm afraid of my grandparents passing?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 01:27 PM PDT

So I've lived with my grandparents most of my life since my own home wasn't necessary safe and when I was 10 my mother passed away. And I find myself constantly worrying about my grandparents passing I'm so scared because I love them so much and I can't loose them because they're all I have left and I wouldn't have anywhere to go (I don't feel comfortable living with any of my aunts or whatever because none of them like me, yes I know they love me because family but I'm not going to even try to explain because you'd have to be in my situation) and I'm so scared and I can't go a day without crying and I can't tell them because they don't understand how I feel. Is there any way to get rid of my anxiety about it? Thanks in advance

Question: Help me please I don't know what to do (sexual abuse/incest)?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 01:13 PM PDT

I'm 13 years old. I was sexually abused by my older brother for a few years of my childhood. maybe 4-8 and then rarely after that. this has caused lots of self esteem issues&major social anxiety. i was diagnosed with depression. I believe he's ruined my childhood, and scarred me for life. I don't know if I can ever forgive him despite my parents begging me to. my mom says it was satan taking control of him. she says he couldn't have stopped himself. he did bad things, almost taking my virginity, which I stopped him from doing multiple times. he has done unspeakable things to me, even coming into my room and picking out underwear for me. he made me do things. my mom told 2 friends about this last year but those friends went to the police together and reported it. I had to go in for several interviews and was mistreated by all the interviewers. and then I was forced to go in for a physical exam, where I was very mistreated. I was shaking/crying and the lady didn't care. my mom forces me to talk to him over the phone, he tries to make me laugh and stuff but I don't feel comfortable talking to him. my mom says he feels guilty and that's punishment enough.parents are making me lie and tell the police nothing happened so my brother doesn't get in trouble. they make me feel guilty for being mad at him. we are already so far in the lie that If I tell the truth, both my parents and my bother go to jail and I have to go into foster care. please help. should i tell the police the truth?

Question: How to make my mom feel better?

Unfortunately my great grandma past away from a heart attack :( and my mom locked herself in her room, also she need money for her own mom and I want to help but idk what to do help?!

Question: Do you feel really guilty for how you treated your parents in youth?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 01:03 PM PDT

Growing up, I had a lot of issues and PDD which caused me to throw a lot of tantrums. That increased when I got to around 12/13. My loving but alcoholic mom and I fought a lot and sometimes it would get physical(slapping, hair-pulling, biting, threatening with a knife, etc) I feel HORRIBLE for how I treated her back then(I'm 22 now). Especially because I can never apologize to her now, she died in 2008. Is it common for children to do things as bad as this like physical fighting with parents? I just like to know I'm not alone and wasn't a horrible child unwarranted.

Question: Reasonable curfew for 16 y/o during summertime?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:50 PM PDT

Basically my friend works til 9 in a garage and I can't go out with him until he finishes up. So I have no choice but to wait until night time. My friends are all allowed to stay out until 12 or later and so the first time I went out at this time I headed home at just past 11, only to find my dad storming out the door 100m or so from my house with the objective of looking for me in the village. Today, I say I am going out to play Pokemon Go with my friend at 9 and ask when I should be back by, only to be told to be back by 10. I have no plans, nothing on, it's the summer and I'm most likely not going to be r4ped 😒 I say it's ridiculous because 10 is bright here and not even late, and he says that I can't go out for 3 hours just because I'm going out 'late'. A few months ago I got caught after drinking one beer and he wasn't too mad so that's not it, plus my friends have had worse incidents and are allowed out. My dad has always been strict but this is ridiculous to be blunt. He's beyond reason when he flips out, I have no opportunity to speak because he doesn't listen and my mom has little say, she tells me to sort it out with him. What do you think is a reasonable time and how can I go out later without 'gaining trust' because that will not work, he's done this for years.

Question: Bored out of my mind?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:38 PM PDT

None of my friends are in my hometown, the ones that are live 2 hours away in the country, or have family visiting and can't hang out. I have no idea what to do!! I'm staying at my grandparent's house for 2 weeks and it's been one day. I'm so incredibly bored. I can't ask my grandparents to spend four hours driving me to the country and back... help!!!

Question: My baby mama doesn t let me see my own son, what now?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:33 PM PDT

I m 19 and my baby mama/lover wont let me see our son like a normal father does, he s 5 months now. first day our son came home from the hospital I got kicked out of the house by my girls grandma for touching my own sons feet since I was "sick" ? Yea I m just as confused, then a whole month went by without seeing her or my new born son, she totally ignored me while I was working 2 jobs 16 hour days because the plan was for us to get our own place... Just know I m still hurting from 5 months ago. Idk the truth if there was someone else is her life. I love her till this day and she s really hurt me. Mentally and physically but now I m stronger. I don t have any type of connection with my son, I ve seen him about 5 times in these 5 months and it s like whenever she s free. Once a month pretty much. I buy my son everything he s needs but I m done because everything I buy my girl doesn t accept it because she s afraid of her grandma knowing I seen her or my own son. Basically hiding to see my son. I filed for joint custody and her retaliation against me was putting a restraining order on me... Lying and said I had a gun. She lied and had zero proof of anything because I don t have a gun. I m about to start working my two jobs again and basically wanted to ask you guys.. What now? Since she has full custody and a 3 year restraining order against me. I m confused because she tells me she loves me and we do have sex. It s just a ****** up situation. Should I go off her maps?

Question: What to do when your dad finds you masturbating?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:29 PM PDT

I was in my basement doing my own thing and my dad snuck up on me and didn't know what I was doing. I said "Holy ****" and pulled up my pants as fast as humanly possible. I don't know if he knows what I was doing and if he saw me so I don't want to bring it up but if he asks how do I play it off cool?

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

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:29 PM PDT

Would I be born to the different mother or father?

Question: Feel like my mom doesn't want to spend time with me?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:17 PM PDT

my mom always seems to make excuses to not go out (busy, headache, on her period etc.) but she always goes out with her fiance and they always do it on Saturdays and Sundays when I'm at my grandma's and they do stuff that I've told her I want to do, like going to watch the new star trek, and then I'm not going to be at home much because I'm going to a football game with my dad tomorrow then shopping with my grandma on Thursday and she said she won't have to worry about me in a way that I'm just something to have to worry about. This happens a lot in the summer and she says behind my back that she's glad we're going back to school but she says she cares about me and thinks I'm great and she's happy to do stuff with me but the evidence only ever proves the opposite. I'm confused and angry and I've just had enough but im afraid of hurting her.

Question: I wet my pants?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:14 PM PDT

I was at my uncles house getting ready for a party, it's a big house and a lot of people were coming over. I really had to pee when I first got there but I kept cooking, cleaning and watching the kids. It was just so busy and I didn't want to leave my family alone to do all the work and they kept asking me to do things. Including watch the kids play and make sure they're safe. then I started peeing in front of the kids- everyone stared at me and I started crying.... What do I tell my uncle, and other family members? I'm scared to face them. I'm a guy..

Question: Why am I such a baby?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 12:14 PM PDT

I made a related question about being overly attached to my mom, but I can't handle it. All I do now is cry when I don't have her. I have a new puppy and the puppy doesn't seem to like me, and that makes me feel bad/ lonely. I'm home by myself sometimes. My dad passed away, so there's nothing to it. I want her here with me and I never want her to leave me unless I'm doing something important like studying, homework, showering. She yells at me like everyday but I still love her. I'm crying right now, she tells me I should be independent so that when she's gone I won't be as sad. For my age everyone seems fine without a parent for a while and hanging out with their friends, while I'm still acting like a child. I want to become a doctor when I get older because that was my moms dream job. I think I may have anxiety but idk. I never believed in the term "I would die without you" but that's how I feel about my mom. Now she sees me and asks me why I look so sad and if I'm sick. How can I be more independent? How can I stop thinking about my mom?

Question: Is there a law that I can use to call the cops on my father?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 11:55 AM PDT

My father stole my mother s car keys to the only vehicle in the house, the title is in both of their names, though she paid off the loan. He has cut us off from the car and the money: abandoned my brother, mother and I. The divorce is still just a theory but he has contacted a lawyer (supposedly). He s a total narsasitic bastard (literally!), and this is his way of being an ***. We live in NY and the vehicle is a 2003. /I just need leverage to get the truck back. I want to go out and I need it to move into college./

Question: How can I get my dad to tell me about my mom?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 11:39 AM PDT

Long story short, I was born and raised Detroit ghetto. My mom got into some bad stuff and ended up getting killed for it. She died when I was a baby. I don't miss her, because how can you miss somebody you don't remember? I was raised by my dad, who's great. But I'm 17 now. And thinking about it, not having a mom in my life has been pretty hard. Having no other girls in my house to talk to about important stuff...I've seen a picture of her, she was beautiful. And family and family friends always tell me "God. You have your mother's eyes. And red hair. And laugh. I miss her". But that's the extent of what I know. Because nobody will tell me about her. Whenever I try to subtlely ask my dad about her he always brushes it off. I got angry and confronted my dad about it the other day saying "why don't you ever wanna talk about it, it's been 16 years. you act like she never existed. blah blah blah." And he just started crying and saying "just drop it okay? I haven't forgotten her, I still see her every single day when I look at you. Stop making this hard." I just wanna know what she was like so bad. What were hobbies/interests? Her favorite color? Her favorite movie? Was she funny? Was she nice? How'd she meet my dad? You know? I'd take anything anybody would tell me. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Question: Why does my family do this?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 11:36 AM PDT

My mother and brother have always ganged up on me and mocked me. They will talk behind my back. Ever since I was young my mother has always made fun of people and found it funny to mock peoples looks, jobs, situations, what they wear, etc. and thinks it is funny She would do this to my friends even as a child and tell me my friends were fat, ugly, etc. Now that Im an adult Ive distanced myself from them and feel much happier and at peace with myself. Why does my family do this?

Question: How do I not feel jealous and resentful?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 11:21 AM PDT

I'm 17 years old. My mom died in 2011, and my dad remarried last October. My step mom has a son who is 24 and who is in the Navy and not around much any more. She also has a daughter who is 15. He's on leave this week. He got home friday night while I was at work and he bought fried chicken for everyone, but they all ate it before I got home. So it was a ham sandwich for me. Then today he took me and his sister to a movie, but it was a movie she wanted to see, and then he took her shopping for back to school clothes and i was just with them. I didn't get a thing. It's not like he bought $1,000 of stuff for her, but I still feel kind of hurt. and it's not that I wanted anything and if he asked I would hae said no, but it's the fact he didn't even ask. Okay I know he's his biological sister and all. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it still hurts, and I don't want him around at all anymore.

Question: My brother hit me?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 11:05 AM PDT

I got into a fight with my mom, I am 14 years old and my brother is 19 and pretty muscular. My mom went to go to the bathroom after are fight and all the sudden my brother came down stairs hit on the head and hard as he could took me by my neck and pulled my hair which was in a pony tail and threw me to the ground and started hitting my head and I was hitting and kicking him to have him let go and he keep hitting and yelling at me. And he was trying to grab my phone from me but I wouldn t let go so he would hit my head until I let go and I keep yelling at him and he took me by my neck again and threw me on the ground. And I screamed for my mom and she finally came out and he grabbed my by by foot when I got back back onto the couch and hit me and my mom just yelled at him to stop and didn t even ask if I was okay and I cried to her telling her he choked and hit me and she didn t even ask me if I was okay she just acted like nothing happened

Question: What do i do?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:45 AM PDT

My mom brought me up with everything as my father expired, but her behavior has been terrible, to the extent that i had started hating her from my very childhood. Although, i was one of the most successful person in my entire family, but she leaves no chances to compare me to others, and morally put me down. She even told nasty stuffs to my fiancees character, just seeing her for very first time, and had made my personal life hell, with her negative comments about almost everything. Now, the problem is - She has become old now (around 60+), and physically weak, to be unable to support herself, and that forced me to bring her to my home, but that has spoiled the entire atmosphere here, as she keeps on saying negative stuffs here. What do i do? P.S: Her health deterioration is also her mistake as she never consulted one, as she thinks, all doctors in this world doesn't know anything to treat her, and are fools.

Question: Is it normal for a man to have a framed picture of his sister in his bedroom?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:37 AM PDT

He's 36. His mom put it up... I don't know why. He hasn't taken it down. I'm dating this man. He has his own house but I've been to his bedroom at his mom's house. I get it that she put it up but that's so weird to me. It's like she wants her son and daughter to date. She makes sure he spends more money on his sister and nephew than he spends on me for holidays etc ... weird family dynamic. Controlling mom. Should I run for the hills?

Question: Mom doesn't let me live my life, need advice !?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:34 AM PDT

I'm 20 and me and my bf are engaged but my parents don't approve. They're moving I next summer to Hawaii and I told them I'm not going with them, I have a job and so does my bf and we both are saving up to move in together. My mom keeps telling me that I'm going with them to Hawaii and how I'm not staying here with him. My dad told me it was my choice and I had a year to think about it. But it seems that both of them keep switching up what they're saying. First is " yes I just want you both to have a good job, and you have a year to think about it but it's your choice at the end of the day" and then they're like " no you're coming with us " . I just don't know what to do. Yes I could just move out whenever I wanted but I'm scared of what my mom will say. It's never what I want and always what she wants.

Question: I m so bored at my dads any advice?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:34 AM PDT

We literally wake up eat and sit and watch tv all day, everyday. We don t work yet we re still in school so we can t really go anywhere on our own since we don t have any money for anything. Where he lives there isnt anything to do without travelling somewhere and I know if I said something all I would hear is how expensive the fuel is to drive and how you have to spend money to do stuff and he doesn t have money, I m sorry but if youre having your kids over for a month shouldnt you make some sort of plans and even save some money to do something other than sitting in front of the tv for 10 hours a day and eat? The area isnt nice either so even a walk isnt much of an option. We are going to Spain for two weeks and I m so so grateful, but its not enough to just get to a destination for holidays and that s it I think everyone knows that, you also do things there, go to restaurants and visit places and have fun. we don t, we sit some more, just in a warm place. I m so sick of this. I don t want to go to my dads for so long anymore. Also when my parents got divorced the court made a plan that one year my mom would have us for holidays the next him. so I have to spend all my holidays easter christmas etc with him and sit and do nothing some more. Last night my brother came into my room and asked if he can sleep with me in my single bed because its so uncomforable with them and dad wakes him in the morning, so I gave him my bed and slept on a few pillows on the floor.

Question: Is my mother in law normal ?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:33 AM PDT

1. She asked my husband if she could peel his hard boiled egg and he said no. Then 5 mins later I was peeling my own and she snapped "Why are you letting her peel it for you but you wouldn't let me!?" And he snapped back that I wasn't peeling his, I was peeling my own.. throughout the rest of the breakfast she just stood there watching her son, telling him which knife to use and remaining on everything he did. 2. She went to the preacher before our wedding to tell him of fights we've had and basically try to convince him not to marry us 3. She made a comment at the rehearsal dinner about how maybe the wedding should be called off... 4. She told me she feels I trapped her son into marriage (whaaattt) 5. We were playing a board game and I told my husband he shouldn't get a point and he agreed with me, and she said snippy, "See, I would've given it to you but she won't." Making it some creepy completion over his affections almost... too weird. 6. She often tells him not to kiss me or show affection, maybe she just doesn't like PDA but I feel she's jealous and it's creeping me out. How do I deal with this?

Question: My parents don't let my boyfriend come over?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:32 AM PDT

I'm 18 years old. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 3 years. They let him come over only when they're at home. I know they mean well, but it's kind of annoying how I can't get privacy. Not to mention, we can only be in the living room. How can I convince them to let him come over when they're not there, or at least be in my room with the door open? They're very strict, and they're Christian.

Question: Did I ruin the rest of my highschool experience?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:16 AM PDT

So my parents are divorced and I hate my mom, so on her nights I d stay with my friends. We d sneak out and go to parties with drinking and pot and this has been going on pretty much all summer.

He said things will NEVER be the same and I know that. I just feel like I threw my entire highschool experience away, cuz I won t be able to do anything again.

Question: How to put an older child to bed while babysitting?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:15 AM PDT

I often babysit for my six-year-old brother and nine year old sister. My brother goes to sleep pretty fast after I tell him to, but my sister literally never goes to sleep and stays up until my parents get home. She usually reads in bed and sometimes I'll take away her book but she just gets another one.

Question: So I'm a 15 year old female and I recently haven't been behaving like I should be and I need to know my punishment?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:15 AM PDT

So recently I've smoked weed, gotten drunk, snuck out to smoke weed, sucked dick, been fingered, punched and kicked 2 holes in the wall, kicked the window of my car and cracked it, I've been cursing more, yelled at my dad a lot, I just show a lot of disrespect for my parents in general. I think I need a punishment to help keep me in line. Any ideas?

Question: Please help me?! I need advice on how to start my life and be happy?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:08 AM PDT

Please read all and please be nice: I just turned 21 years old and I don't have a job or go to college. I dont go to college because I can't afford it right now. Every job I applied to told me they wern't hiring or wanted people with experience. My dad is about to lose our house because my parents are getting a divorce and my mom wants all of his money. People say I'm mooching off my parents but I'm not. I have been wearing the same 1 pair of pants for 3 years. I have 1 shirt and 3 sweaters I rotate through every week. I don't eat some days because I'd rather my dad spend his money on what he needs to pay for. The only thing my dad pays for is my co-pay for my therapist because insurance doesnt cover it all. So that's $20 a week which I tell him every week I appreciate. I offered to stop going if he couldn't pay and he said no. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, social anxiety, depression and PTSD. So every day is very hard for me to even get out of bed. Some days I can't even leave the house because of this. I see a therapist once a week and she's kind of helping me but my main problem is my family. My 22 year old brother constantly sneaks people in and out. He does drugs and even steals from us but he hasn't been kicked out. I have panic attacks every day because of my brother but my parents don't care. I just want to be able to feel good and safe while I'm trying to learn how to cope with what I have. But I don't & its hard and I don't know what else to do, advice?

Question: My mom is ignoring me because of a fight we had?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 10:03 AM PDT

So this isn't the first time she's completely ignored me for days. It's only been in these past two months because she's been putting a lot of stress on me because of my summer assignments for high school (I'm a junior) and it's not like I haven't ever had summer assignments. The other day it was midnight and she came up to my room again and started manhandling my computer that i paid for with my own money and ripping at the cords and I screamed so loud I'm pretty sure my neighbors heard. I told her all my feelings about her loving my brother more and telling her I was depressed and anxious and stressed because of her and I kept telling her to hit me or kill me (spur of the moment) and couldn't stop and she didn't even acknowledge my insecurities. I even said you don't love me and she didn't deny it and gave me the option to go live with my dad (who I don't like and this was the second time she said it) which made me even more insecure because now I'm really thinking she doesn't care about what happens to me. Now she's ignoring me for the second time in two months and not even feeling guilty for making me so stressed and anxious and angry all the time and I want to get over it but she's holding grudges and even if I say sorry she will never acknowledge me or say sorry to me.I'm afraid we'll keep going through this cycle if something miraculous doesn't happen.I would explain it in more detail but I'd run over the character limit. I usually never scream or yell at her the only reason I did now is because it's been building up for so long and whatever I said to her before she wouldn't listen. She wouldn't even listen to my 24 year old brother when he told her to stop. I was also on my period I don't know if that affected things I'm not living with my dad he lives 2 hours away and I would be leaving all my friends and school and piano lessons and other things. And I do love my mom when she's in a good mood she's awesome

Question: I'm losing patience?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:42 AM PDT

My brother is always annoying me! He always is watching Teen Titans Go on full volume or playing (and hogging) the computer or XBox, playing it all day and early in the morning on full blast. He pees on the seat because he's too lazy to aim or on his Nintendo DS, and claims I did it! He calls me a jerk when I am babysitting them, saying I'm not his mom even though I was told BY "his mom" to do so. He picks his nose and rubs it on couches, leaves chewed gum everywhere, treats my stuff like crap, and always teases me about my boyfriend! He also steals candy and gum and then leaves the wrappers everywhere, while claiming he never saw it. He also tells our little sister she can't watch a Minecraft video (she's six) but says that he can watch PG-13 movies or play M-rated games (he's nine). He tries to come on movie dates with me and my boyfriend because he'd like to see the movie too, and he plays with toys in the shower for over 20 minutes. I know I should be more patient but I'm losing it with him. He treats my whole family like dirt and apologizes only when he wants something! So how do I be more patient/get him to quit being a douche? I also tried giving him headphones, but he won't use them except for chewing on the cord or using them to look cool without even plugging it in to anything. He says that it inconveniences HIM, why can't WE just wear earplugs? He also curses at me sometimes and usually I try not to yell at him but tell him calmly he's being a jerk and to walk away. By seat I mean toilet seat

Question: My mom makes me want to kill myself?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:37 AM PDT

So my mom is older than most of my friends' moms. She's about 5-10 years older. I understand she needs help around the house but I can't always do it when she wants. I do help out but I help out when I can I don't want to stop my life just to help clean around the house. My mom has always been way too overprotective. She judges me for all my decisions and constently screams and gets mad at me if I don't do something she wants. And when she does, she threatens to ruin everything in my life like my social life, my relationship, and what I do. She puts on a threatening look, deepens her voice (almost as if she growls), and constently guilts me every time. She compres me to her neices and friends' daughter and how good of a daughter she was to her parents and how she "obeyed" all of her parents' wishes. She makes me feel like I will never be the daughter she wants and how I'm constantly ruining her life just because I choose not to always do everything she wants me to do. I''m absolutely scared to live day by day because you don't know what she'll do next. I even had to cancel the rest of my plans for this week with my friends because I'm afraid she'll get even more angry. (LOOK AT THE ANSWER SECTION FOR MORE INFO, VERY IMPORTANT)

Question: Could the way I was raised make me have anxiety?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:35 AM PDT

Growing up my parents faught all the time, my mom would constantly tell my brother and I to pack our bags. She'd say we were leaving my dad and I'd always cry because I didn't want to. She'd tell me I was going to be called ugly and that I needed to stop dressing like a boy. I loved shorts and t-shirts but she wanted me in dresses all the time. She'd point out the fact thay I was going through puberty to everyone. She'd make me feel so uncomfortable with myself and then she'd say I needed to go on a diet because I was getting fat. My brother would also make me feel like crap about my body. If people were making fun of me in school he'd join in and make fun of me with them. I had no where I felt comfortable with myself because of this. I'd go to school and get made fun of ad then go home and get put down as well. Constantly being told I was stupid and never going to become anything. Then on top of that I was diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. Could some of this be because of my childhood?

Question: Should my sister stop doing this?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:21 AM PDT

I am a high school guy with a 14 year old sister that I really like and care for. She as developed into a VERY beautiful girl. I try to protect her as much as possible. When I have my buddies over for a visit they really like her also. Probably because she tells them how great they are. To her this is NOT flirting. It is just having fun with my buddies. She told one of my buddies "You are a great looking guy". "You never have trouble getting a date do you"? That really stroked his ego. She told another one of my buddies he was such a great looking guy, that he should not get married until she was 18 so she could propose marriage to him. That made him feel great for weeks. I told her she should probably stop doing this as these guys will think she is flirting. She said if what she is doing makes my buddies feel great about themselves, it is a good thing she is doing. Is it?

Question: Should I be mad at myself?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:16 AM PDT

Okay so back when I was around 8 years old there was this kid that was 2 or 3 years younger than me that rang my doorbell like every day because he wanted to hang out. I wasn't really in the mood to so pretty much every time I did I'd purposely ignore him and hide in another room while kind of getting the notion that he knew I was doing it. What didn't help was the fact that the people I sat next to on the bus that year were jerks to him and I did pretty much nothing to stand up for him the whole time. I've felt guilty about it ever since but now I feel even more guilty because like 6 years later, my mom JUST NOW told me that he has some kind of Autism Spectrum-ish disease so now I feel even more like a jerk. AND to top it all off he's either currently moving away or he's already moved and I don't have his number so there's no way I can apologize and the guilt's been killing me these past couple of days and I don't know what to do about it or if I should feel as bad as I do

Question: Does anyone else miss their childhood? What do you miss most about it?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 09:03 AM PDT

I'm a 13 year old girl so yeah I'm still young, but I'm talking about when my age was only one number. I loved going to the park with my siblings and going to daycare every week day. I loved going swimming with my childhood friends. I miss the Disney and Nickelodeon shows like Suit Life On Deck and iCarly. I miss when I didn't have electronics like my iPhone or iPad, or homework to worry about everyday. Or my favorite band one direction, I have a fan account for them with 50,000 followers, but today I stumbled across the old one direction accounts I used to follow, and the last time they posted was in 2012. I miss it so much and the way the band acted and dressed, you know, normal clothes and not black ripped skinny jeans. I miss when my cousins and siblings were still young and we'd all get together on the holidays like christmas and have a good time. Now, they're all grown up and off to college, buying their first cars, moving out, etc. It's crazy to think me and my brother are the only ones out of 5 of our siblings left in school. When school starts I'll be going into my first year of high school (9th grade) and my brother will be going into his last. I hate this, I don't want to grow up. I want to be young forever and have everything back the way it was. Even the old songs on the radio I miss. How can I feel better about this? :( I keep crying about it :(

Question: My bratty sister is driving me insane?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 08:09 AM PDT

I am the oldest of four children, so I've learned to deal with annoying behavior, but my youngest sister has gotten so awful, I don't know what to do anymore. My other sister and I would baby her when she cried as an infant, which, in turn, has completely ruined her. She's become this spoiled little brat who cries at the drop of a hat. She is TEN years old and will throw a tantrum if she doesn't get her way. She has very bad anger management issues, and will scream if she loses her temper, which, as it happens, is an occurrence I see way too often. She enjoys acting like the victim, and will do anything to make herself look innocent, even if it involves lying. She can't take a joke or listen to a joke if she finds it a little offensive, because she will burst into tears and force you to apologize. My parents will do nothing about this, and when me or my other siblings complain about it, we are suddenly the bad guys. How can I get her to stop being such a b***h all the time if my parents won't?

Question: Why do children when getting a little older insist on having their own room?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 08:04 AM PDT

When I grew up in the late 50's and early 60's I shared a room with my younger brother and never even thought of needing my own room. What has changed?

Question: Why are parents so obsessed with imposing their children on others?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 07:53 AM PDT

Modern parents seem to think everyone else should find their dumb children as amusing as they do. Is it because parents aren't as busy as they were years ago and are lazy? Are parents dumb from living the same day over and over again, year after year.

Question: Anybody have parents who try to stop you when you discipline your own kids?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 07:21 AM PDT

Whenever my mom visits, it seems like she spends the whole time trying to defend my kids. I ask them a question and she tries to answer for them. I catch them doing something wrong, and she tries to find an excuse for it to back them up. She catches them doing something wrong, and I hear her whispering to stop or clean it up "before your mother finds out" (I have heard those exact words!) My least favorite response is, "you were just like that when you were a kid". Ooookay...and that makes it acceptable how? We've talked and talked about it. She had even vented that the kids won't listen to her, and she's going to put her for down more so they respect her. Then I leave the opportunity for her to discipline them so they learn they have to do what she says too, and she's soft on them! I hate making drama on visits, but what do I do to try and get her to respect my rules for my kids without causing drama between us?

Question: I have a extended family. Now as an adult I reached out to my little sister from my dad s second marriage. My mother is angry. Am I wrong?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 06:45 AM PDT

My mom made us live with my dad s new family for 3 years after the divorce. I was present when my little sister was born and have always spent time with them. Why is my mother now mad that I shared one of my job perks with my teenage sister...? My mom says I m out of my lane and her feelings are hurt. Am I wrong?

Question: Why do people say they miss their dead mother?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 06:42 AM PDT

This is a serious question. I can't seem to understand it. If my mother died, I would say a prayer and put a flower on her grave in respect for her life. But, to be honest-- my mother is a very selfish, cold woman. Do you think I will still miss her, even though I detest her?

Question: How do I get my parents to take away my 9 year old brother's laptop?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 05:54 AM PDT

My 9 year old brother stays up at three in the morning on his laptop and he keeps me up at night because he's so loud on it. It's throwing off my sleep schedule. Plus he sleeps all day because of it and complains when I'm up at noon.

Question: Will my kids be fat or skinny?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 05:38 AM PDT

Me and me wife are both 26, and we just found out we are having a son. I am trying to picture what he's going to look like, and I am wondering if he's going to be tall and then like I am, or if he will take after my wife. I've known my wife since high school, and she was always a little bit chunky. Her family however, is fairly big. Her siblings are all overweight, but I don't mind. I'm just wondering do kids usually get their weight and height from mom or dad? I am 5' 11" my wife is 5' 2"

Question: My mom and sister treat me badly, how can fix this?

Posted: 01 Aug 2016 05:36 AM PDT

My sister on a daily basis hurts me physically and I usually go to my mom about it. Since, my sister is younger she doesn't care and I end up getting yelled at for starting trouble when I didn't even provoke her. Just last night she punched me in the face and put scratch marks all down my arms. In addition, my mom yells at me over anything. Anything she could think of she yells at me for. Sleeping, eating, manners, chores, watching tv upstairs (because she says I act antisocial so I have to stay downstairs where they are), throwing up, JUST EVERYTHING. And on top of that my sister encourages my mom to yell at me. (She actually just yelled at me rn) anyways, my sister lies about the things that I do that my mom disapproves and I get I trouble for nothing. A couple of days ago, I did all my chores and cleaned the entire house and did everybody chores. Then I asked to go to my friends and my sister lies and says I always had plans with my friend and the only reason I did my chores was to go over her friends house because she doesn't care about her work, I just read her phone and she was complaining about all the work she did. A complete lie. And I got in trouble...for doing my work above in beyond. Please help me.
