I'm 13 almost 14 and I watch my little pony, has a big imagination, still don't want a bf, and do other kid stuff.

Im a girl, and I have an older sister and younger brother. My mom treats my brother like a little baby and lets him get away with a ton of stuff. He's stabbed me with a pencil before and got away with a slap on the wrist. Today, I moved something in my brothers snake tank while messing around with my sister, so he moved something in my room. I went to tell him to **** off, and he shoved me, and then cut me in two places on my face with his nails. He told on me for moving something, and my mom only yelled at me. My father couldnt give a single **** because he sleeps all day. I can't hit my brother back or I'll get in trouble, because I'm supposed to me more mature. I've brought this up, and they said I can tell on him and theyll do something, but they dont do ****. What am I supposed to do when i have a ton of scars from my brother and my parents couldnt care less?

I'm a going to be a senior in high school and an all-state girl swimmer. I have multiple D-1 athletic scholarships, including some to some great schools I couldn't otherwise get into (I'm a good student, but these schools are even better). One of those schools is my first choice. I like the academics, the location, the coach, and the atomosphere of the swim team there. It's a great fit for me. The best fit. But when I took my on-campus visit I realized that they all shower together before and after practice, and that the showers are completely wide open (poles in the middle of the room). I don't have any sisters, have never really been nude around anyone, and my high school team had shower stalls with curtains. I know this "shouldn't" be a big deal, but it is freaking me out and making me consider other schools I have offers from. Some of them I noticed had private showers, others had open ones but the team went to great lengths for privacy. But it also feels like a silly thing to make a decision on. If the team is comfortable, its all girls, why shouldn't I be comfortable too? But I'm not comfortable, I'm really nervous. What do I do? And if you do think I should go, what can I do ahead of time to get more comfortable with the idea? bob---what do you mean by close friends helping me? how? that doesnt make sense

I know a lot of people who hate their fathers and don't see anything wrong with it (if the father has done wrong) but when I mention me and my mother don't have the best relationship, it's always "she's your mother, love her unconditionally" but I can't love her. I'm 23 and have long moved out of her house, but the memories of the painful beatings, intense screaming matches, the black eyes and broken bones she's given me still linger around. She would call me a whore, tell me I should be raped and killed, and my father just watched it all happen without a word. Yesterday she called me and asked for $1500. I said no and blocked her number, as we haven't spoken in almost 4 years. She then proceeds to call me on multiple different numbers and continues to harass me. I don't want a relationship with her at all and she's saying we should make up. But I'm finally living with my boyfriend and I have a stable job. Because of this woman I've had severe panic attacks. Suffer from depression and am still scarred. How do I get her to **** off without guilting me?

My nephew is staying with us and he sleeps on an air mattress. My dad always wakes in the middle of the night for a drink or whatever and leaves the lights on and never turns them off. And during the night and early morning like 3-7 he'd leave the door WIDE OPEN and never shuts it either. We live in a apartment

Both my fiance and I have nieces and nephews from our brothers. I know that by marriage I will be the aunt to his nieces and nephews, and he will be the uncle to my nieces and nephews. But what will be the relationship between my nieces and nephews and his brother... and visit versa with his nieces and nephews and my brother?

My mom is a single parent and I am an only child. I'm 25 now but ever since I was about 10-11, my aunts and cousins have been living at our house with us. Once they left, my grandmother moved in. Then my aunt and uncle moved in. For the first 5-6 years of them moving in, I didn't have my own room and I shared a room with my mom. I feel like I have all this repressed anger at my mom because I hated the fact that my extended family lived with us and that we never had the house to ourselves. I felt like she was always choosing them over me. I talked to her about it 1 million times but nothing changed. They are still living with us. I'm hoping to get into a graduate program so I can move out but what else can I do so that I'm not angry at her?

I am one of his grandchildren, but one of the grandchildren got the most of the share. She is my cousin but apparently she got the most because my uncle's wife demanded that. How can I tell them that it's unfair?

They always believe my "perfect" older brother. He is two years old than me, and lies a lot. Then my parents believe him and I get in trouble for telling the truth. For an example, today my brother stayed home and me and my parents went for a quick walk around the block. About halfway through, I decided to walk back. I had my phone with me so i was playing best fiends. When I got home he was on his ipad on the couch. I tossed my phone onto the couch but I accidentally hit his head. I said sorry so many times it started to lose its meaning. Just remember that. He was crying (he never cries) and he started punching me. Then he puts his arm around my neck and squeezes it. I pushed him away then he shoves me onto the ground. My parents came home and he said this "She threw her phone at my head and shoved me!!!" My parents got sooo mad at me. I told them what he did and showed the how I meant to toss my phone. They just laughed and said "Ok i believe you" In the most sarcastic voice. I started crying and ran up to my room and wrote this. Things like that happen all the time. my brother hides his stuff and tells my parents I hid it. Please help me. And this year I have to go to a new school, the one my brother has been going to for 2 years, and I have no friends in my classes. This is and will continue to be the worst year ever. Please help me.

would you ask the judge to be more lenient on him for having kindness of reporting her missing?

I'm a 15 year old girl and for my whole life I've shared a bathroom with my younger sister. she's super messy and doesn't like to share. I asked my parents if I could move into the guest room with its own bathroom downstairs (I'm upstairs right now) and they aren't allowing me to because our grandpa lives with us part time and sleeps down stairs in one of the guest rooms (there are two) I'm fine with taking either one, but for some reason they don't want me down there. How can I persuade them to let me move down? Thanks

Alright I posted 3 questions of this nature. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160903064010AAIUudI https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160905113024AAm8fsc But of course it's my mom and more stuff happens. I wish I recorded it but I didn't. So I went downstairs to ask for her to apologize for the things she said (I shouldn't have anyway why do I want her apology it doesn't help.) She "apologized" for all the stupid things I don't want her to like telling me to practice my contacts (I'm not upset over that, why would I be). So then I tell her it's because she called me fat recently and told me to watch my weight a while ago. She claims she never told me that but listen to me I swear she did. Then I tell her she did and all of that. I ask her to apologize for saying that she didn't care how I felt and how i'm usually the one who asks her because I genuinely care(d) for her. I was doing this while crying because yes i'm upset. She says I was probably having "one of those days where i'm crying and trying to stress her out". but apparently she can never stress me out. I admit I say really mean things to her now. I have no excuse for that and i'm not going to find one or anything. She says that i'm a brat and I ask her who raised me. She says she didn't raise me like that. - She says she didn't raise me like that. I chime in and say that it might be because of her actions. She says that I keep bringing up the past (she's referring to a certain incident which I wasn't I was referring in general). Then she talks about how I come downstairs just to stress her out and starts banging on the table. Again it's not right of me but I tell her "No it's not fear you you're not that special". She says if I had the childhood she had I wouldn't be upset right now. - But just because her childhood was worse than mine means that I can't be upset? Just because someone is in a worse situation means I can't still cry? She blames how she acts on her childhood. I blame it on how I was raised. (Again not referring to this certain incident but all of them in general) she says I keep bringing up the past. But just because someone apologizes for something doesn't make it all go away or make you feel better if you get me. - Then after screaming in the bathroom on how I stress her out and how she said she wanted to kill herself that one time and it wasn't directly towards me and how she said it was because she was depressed I went upstairs. Of course she goes upstairs too. I walk in my room i'm about to close it and she says not to slam it. (I wasn't going to in the first place) Which I told her I wasn't. - She went in her room and said she was going to slap me and called me a motherf*cker I asked if she did and she said she didn't but she calls me stuff like that all the time. She said she needed to get her phone (either to record it but then it would be bias because she'd act all sweet and innocent when really she screams at me all the time). Or to talk to her sister? (i don't know who she is to my mom I forgot). - Then she started stomping towards my door and I slammed it kind of. Not a full force slam but not quietly closing it.. so I don't think it woke my dad up. I locked the door and now she can't come in so and now we are here. I just wrote everything that just happened. She always says she has no memory of what she says if it's really rude. Or if she does she rephrases it to make it seem like she was asking out of care. Again tomorrow is the first day of 7th grade. I already know it's going to be bad. This is more of a vent but if you have advice feel free to tell me. Also I meant i posted 3 questions including this one if you're confused. She says she isn't going to take care of me (She puts my hair in a ponytail, cooks sometimes and that's it) Which I don't mind. I told her "Ok I will as long as you agree to get out of the house" I told her that around before I closed the door. I just remembered that. Again what I told her was wrong. But don't act like she's innocent or anything. Don't act like she didn't say things to me that hurt (I didn't put anything she apologized for but she did tell me I didn't have any friends once.. that really messed me up for a couple days. Even after she apologized) I don't like to get mad at her for things she apologized for. But if it helps you understand my situation.. thenI guess I will talk about it.

I made a special handmade personal gift for my close friend of mine, it was 200 reasons I love you as a gift for her birthday. I mailed it to her & She showed all of her friends and said they all loved it. Should I feel happy she showed her friends, like, do you think she liked it personally? They are all big critics

I hate the house I've been brought up in. I hate my dad so much. I'm 15 and I honestly can't wait until I graduate. My parents wonder why I want to move over 3000 miles away from home and they never think of themselves as a reason. Ever since my birth I can remember my parents non stop screaming at me and I honestly do blame them for my constant anxiety. My dad is a sexist asshole, he never ever cleans the house himself, he calls one of his "three daughters" to do the "woman's job". And whenever I do what he asks me he finds ever ******* tiny detail in what's wrong with it. NEVER have I heard him thank me. Both parents criticize me in everything I do and it really bothers me. Am I overreacting?

Before everyone starts saying "oh he is playing around," let me explain. Whenever my dad and I get into an arguement he says that. It s not that I m actually stupid, I get grades and everything. My mom has called me stupid once or twice aswell. Any explanation?

I also don't want my mom to get in trouble because she's thought about calling them too and I don't why them to think that she was ok with it

My mom always says " pull down your shorts your father keeps staring at your ***" and he always makes me feel weird and scared . I always feel like his eyes are on me

My dad did really messed up stuff to our family when i was little and went to jail for something. He has tried to commit suicide multiple times since I was 10 and has a prescription pill problem to the point where we wouldn't hear from him for days or longer and he slurs his words. He hasn't held a job in ten years and does not help me out with college at all. And now he has serious health issues, but i don't know if its messed up to stop talking to him because he is my dad. He just has not acted like a dad in years. He never showed up for any of my important life events after he left when i was like 10 or 11. Aside from high school graduation and a few sports events and maybe one other thing. He has forgotten my birthday in the passed too and it is just really hard to talk to him when all he does it down us and his parents support him financially and enable. I want to just focus on college and friends and other family and not be drained by him but idk if its wrong. If you read it fully you would understand that my dad left when i was 10 and has not taken care of me since. I am a full time student at a university. It is draining to hear him constantly

I just had a conversation with my mom and it was the most uncomfertable I've ever felt. I was literally standing there in a weird position just spacing off with no eye contact and shifting around a bit. She asked me something and I just mumbled, no, then I slowly walked away. I'm in slight tears, that was so awkward Uncomfortable* I'm a 12 year old girl and it was just a normal conversation about getting a haircut

My mother is so controlling, tells lies to other people when I am in the same room as her, puts me down many time, not hearing my side of the argument, and many more that would make me burst into tears. My father would burst into conversation should not concern him and gives replies that offends me greatly. Both have use yelling, slaps, guilt trip, and demeaning phrases for discipline. My younger sister, whom I have confided in, doesn't even interfere to help. She just ignores the situation. I don't want to live in this life anymore. I don't want to feel this way anymore. I tried some hotlines, but they only helped me temporarily. What can I do? How can I tell my family when there is a language barrier involved?

My mother will not believe me and is trying to force me to shower everyday which makes my hair worse. I tell her about many sites that say it is bad but she says they are fake. Heck, my doctor, that I visited 3 months ago, said and explained that it was bad. She is stubborn and only believes in the doctor that treated me so many years ago... Can someone help me to convince her ahe is wrong? Maybe a professional site?

I'm special needs and he is not.I'm 23 and he will be 34 next month. My brother lives like 20 miles away from are parents house and I live like 7-8 miles away from my parents. Well my mom comes sees him twice a week. Mom won't come visit me cos she says it is too far. I ask her way and she says I'm not gonna argue with you anymore. She spoils him. Buys him things all the time and that. I rarely see her. She never calls me too. She spoils my brother on Christmas and his birthday. What should I do? She will let him live with her but not me even if it means I will be homeless.

She got pregnant twice by accident and her boyfriend treats her like she's nothing and puts her down also told her to get an illegal abortion!!! she's now stuck because she quit her job for him and lives 3 hours away from her family for anyone to help her out!!!!!!!

My mom didn t put my biological father name on my birth certificate so all my life I ve believed another man was my father but he wasn t is there any way I could go to court and change the name on my birth certificate and get my biological dad to meet me? We live in the same town but he said since my mom didn t put his name down, he doesn t want anything to do with me. Could I take him to court and have a DNA test done? What should I do? I want my father in my life.

My grandma died a week ago and I have been very upset about it. She wanted two funerals, one in Colorado and one in Missouri. I live closer to Missouri so I wanted to attend that one. The one in Colorado is 3 weeks away because my uncle has a long business trip. It will be September 30th. My 21st birthday is the 27th of September and my friend and I planned on going to a hotel with a day spa the 30th and 1st. My friend is paying for the room and paid for half of it and said they took the money out of her account. However, my mom is saying that when she went there that their policy was they didnot pay for it until checkout and only held the information in case they no showed. Am I being selfish for wanting to go on the trip? My family is going to both funerals.

Whenever my sister asks me what I ate for lunch or dinner or during my break , she criticizes me and accuses me of making bad choices, and I get very angry about it. Do you think I'm putting pressure on myself to make good choices?

So I ll really try to not go into too much detail to spare you guys but I just wanna brief everyone: so I ve been dating the most beautiful girl in the world for the last 14 months. Crazy beautiful, 4.0 GPA in hs, amazing family, perfect personality, everything I could ve ever asked for, and my first real love. We re both 19, and both virgins. I ve had several chances to lose it, but I always wanted to wait for the right girl, which I think is her. I ve brought up the subject a couple times now, and she s been pretty evasive about it which I completely understand because she has high morals and goes to church every Sunday etc etc. But she s been completely comfortable with everything up to third base, and I never let her down whenever we do get intimate. Anyways, long story short, she s comfortable with everything BUT sex. I asked if she was waiting until marriage, and she looked me in the eyes and said no... Her justification was that she s terrified in the off chance that she gets pregnant and threatens both of our futures. I m just kind of confused as to how to reassure her that everyone has sex, and as long as you take the right precautions, NOTHING will happen. I know what to do when it comes to this stuff, and she trusts me, it s just she doesn t trust the science behind a condom I guess. I just want to know what other way to approach this? Like I said, she s perfect and is everything I ve ever wanted, I just wish we were a little more sexually compatible. Thanks guys

On this past saturday I got my own breakfast and lunch since I was home alone until around 4pm. My brother got home at 4 and offered to bring Taco Bell since he was going there, I said yes and we ate. Okay so hours later around 8pm I went out. I was planning on staying out pretty late and my brother knew that I would stay out late. I'm 22 and my brother is 25. I saw that he was drinking last night before I went out and my brother texted me about 30 minutes after I had just gotten food saying "If you get anything to eat let me know I'll pay you back" around 11 pm. I was already full and not even in my city when I texted back saying "alright". At around 1 am he texts me if I'm on way home with the impression that I was FOR SURE going to bring food. I was trying to just go home to bed, but then he starts lashing out on me saying I always disappoint him and only look out for myself. Let me tell you that I have done better favors like lend him some money then wait 2 or 3 weeks to get it back or making sure that no one is in the house when his girlfriend comes over because she is shy. He continues to lash out saying I never come through for him and throws the Taco Bell from earlier in my face. I just wanted to sleep and my brother kept texting malicious insults in his anger for simply not getting food at 2am. I kept trying to tell him to stop being immature and he just says he's just saying "facts". He even mentioned that he slanders my name and that I did it this to myself.What?

I'm 16, the oldest child in my house. As the oldest child, I am expected to help out and clean up after everyone. I believe it is fair to help clean and keep everything in order. But I have a little sister who is 6 and she is so sloppy and careless. I understand she is only 6 but she trashes the house with toys. The living room is always messy with her toys, food rappers and cups, socks and shoes. I hate it. She leaves food everywhere and when I ask her to please pick up everything she says "no. You can't tell me what to do. You're not my sister". I am her blood sister. She misbehaves badly but I just dont think that's a good excuse for her to act like a baby pig and trash everything. My mom doesn't ever say anything nor does my step dad. Its all me to clean. I have college, I have a job and a life, I can't spend what little free time I have picking up after a very mean and nasty kid. That's mean but its true. How can I bring up making her do chores to my parents without them jumping on me and being rude also

My brother constantly acts like a baby and fights with my mom and me. He always gets in my space and makes stupid noises/gestures/faces at me. I don't even find it annoying anymore, he's just being really stupid and when I leave the room he tells my mom I freaked out and stomped away even though I left calmly like a normal person, then she tells me i need to calm down, and to my brother that means she's on his side. Sometimes if i try to walk away from him, he will think i'm going to tell on him and will shove me into the wall or something to stop me from leaving. (I have a little scar on my arm from being pushed into the banisters on the stairs) If my mom asks what happened and she talks to him about it, he yells at me about "tattling on him" and gets really angry. He also thinks he owns the XBox and will sometimes try to hurt me if i try to play it. He fights with my mom until she is crying and then five minutes later acts like everything is fine. He doesn't have a driver's license or a job and thinks it's okay to steal food from my parents because (his words) he's 18, he can do what he wants. Also, sometimes when we watch TV together (as a family or just the two of us) he will touch himself through his pants/pocket even when he's sitting next to me and the lights are on. I feel so gross when he does it and I haven't told my mom because it makes me uncomfortable to say anything. What can I do to ignore him or get him to stop all this? I'm really tired of dealing with him.

Ever sice I could remember I never get along with my mom. Don't get me wrong, she's not abusive, and overall a nice person. Ever since I could remember... i'm just always wrong. When I was a kid I had problem studying, and when she teach me she always gave me a hard time and said how stupid I am "nobody in my family is stupid where did you get this from?". I'm just always wrong. When I got bullied, she told me why I befriended them in the first place. When I buy clothes, she told me it doesn't look good (or it's good, but just not good enough). When I get a boyfriend, she told me I should've look for better one. Just now she commented on how I'm wasting money by buying my boyfriend's mom a birthday gift when she (apparently) have SO MANY new/unused things in her closet. I just.. I know it's unimportant, but it kind of hurt my feelings. I don't know, what I was expecting was at least she would laugh at me for buying stuffs for my bf's mom (cause it's the 1st time I've gotten this close with a bf) or some sarcastic fun comment?? She told me to always open up with her and just treat her like a friends, but I can't open up with someone so judgmental of me. It's sad when I heard others says home felt warm when their mom home, but to me I just felt afraid. Like I just want to get out of this house. Am I being too sensitive? Need advice?

I have been battling with my mother for quite a few years now about the importance of buckling up while she is driving. At first she would just not buckle. But now, it has gotten to the point where she buckes her seat before she gets in the car, so that the car won't ding or whatever when your are not buckled. I've tried telling her how dangerous it is, but she doesn't want to listen. I would like to give her a reality check somehow to get her to realize how important it is.

Does anyone have any idea where I could stay? My mom passed away in December I'm moving from my house I'm 31 the only disabilities I have is epilepsy that is well controlled I'm hard of hearing in one ear. I can take care of myself. For the past months I was applying for a housing program my uncle told me they choose places for you I'm having mixed thoughts about it I want to choose where I want to stay. In the beginning they were saying a group home is a possibility I don't think I can handle that as I've had enough stress. One option is I have another uncle that I can stay with temporarily. Maybe I can talk to some of my moms friends for advice.

I am a guy and I am the youngest out of my siblings and my cousins and even though we are all adults how come am I still seen as the baby of the family? Like my cousins still hug me and tease me like they are about to kiss me cuz they know I hate it. They also tickle me a lot and I don't mind. I am not mad or annoyed and I like the attention, I was just wondering why they do that?

Every time my family decides to go on vacation my dad always gets desperate when ever we are getting ready and he always says to me that if I forget something we are not coming back for it but if he forgets something we always come back for it. So what is my dad's problem?

My mom and I argue a lot, but we also get along well too. Since she decided to get married to a wonderful man I might add, I might as well not exist. She's made time for my kids and often babysits. My house has never been super neat or clean, ever. I can completely understand her not wanting to come over in these Conditions. Just to clarify, bathrooms, dishes, and floors are clean. It is very cluttered. My kids are also clean and laundry is done. So one day when my kids didn't really hang out with her because well they've approached the age (9 and 13) of not wanting grandma as much. I called to see how things went, she really let me have it. Horrible things she said to me regarding my house. I told her I was sorry but she said I won't talk to you for awhile and we hung up. So it's been 2 weeks, I have picked up and cleaned. it may not be to her standards I don't know. As kids we were not raised to be neat freaks or to ever do chores. So as an adult I guess I'm scattered in this area. I feel horrible about the way we left things. I thought about texting or calling her and saying I feel bad about how we left things. If you want to talk I'm around. You're always welcome at my house, but if it makes you uncomfortable I understand. Is that okay? I never know.. I feel like I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I dont.

Ok so im an indian girl my skin is like light brown i guess but my sister is really fair like pale and looks so much fairer than me. All relatives and aunties comment on how fair she is. Plus i dont even have any good features to compensate for that. My nose doesnt even have a shape and my hair is frizxy and face skin scarred by acne... :(((((

She would say since my brother works he deserves to have dinner on the table and a clean house when he comes home,he doesn't do anything for me at all.She says I can never live on my own because a doctor told her that when I was like 6yrs old because I had mental problems.For her to say how terriable I am I am the one who helps her the most,I don't do everything she ask but its more then my brother can say.

My parents got divorced when I was 8 due to my dad being abuisve. Im 15 now and Ive always lived with my mom. We were homeless for 3 years and have been very poor. We lost out car, my mom lost her job, always late on rent and she had her useless bf move in with us. My dad is evil and is the whole reason we lost everything but he went to therapy and has a gf now. He seems better from the times i visit him. Im stuck doing online school bc i never went in freshman year and failed some classes. This is the only way for me to not repeat. (I have to do it for one year and then i can go back to school). My dad lives in a different state now (7 hour drive away) so any choice i make im stuck with for a year. He wants me to move, id be better for me in my school situation but i wouldnt be with my sibilings or my mom or my dog and i love them too much. Im really stressed out. I dont like my dad much but it would be better bc my mom cant finacially support us right now.one minute i wanna move and the next i dont. My mom would be heartbroken and id probably have to stay with him until im done with highschool. I just dont know anymore. Pleast help!! :(

It is intensive care so am I best to assume just his immediate family (his two children and his grandson) should visit rather then someone from the extended family. I don't want to be in the way if the expectation is just for immediate family as it is something he might die from.

My parents think I can't take care of myself because I'll "make too many mistakes" (my mother's words) I'm 28 lol

I am an adult but my mother has a lot of anxiety because she is protective of me like when I was a kid (I had learning disabilities and ADHD growing up). My mother's uncle is dying any time now and my Dad's uncle is ill also. At both funerals, especially the one in my mother's family, my Mom is going to be nervous about my social skills and want me to sit with her at the reception like I am 9 (I am 30). She also is going to be agitated when she sees me waling around talking to her out of town relatives. Obviously I will be modest as it is a funeral and not a party but I want to be as social as others are being so not to seem cold. My mother will be a nervous wreck thinking she needs to keep me just right (again like I am 9 and need Ritalin). My Dad always notes how ludicrous this is and that I am fine socially. So how do I stay relaxed and keep my mother relaxed? I get nervous when around her at these events because she is nervous someone will criticize me as when I was a little kid and hyper people used to judge her supposedly as a parent due to her kids and this will be her side of the family.

I am 14 and in high school. I know i am depressed...I have considered suicide countless times and I admit I have tried to kill myself. I am a very expressive person and my parents know about my problems. I don't do drugs and Im not much of a rebel. I can't sleep and my grades are just above average. I do not know what to do. My dad is always away for business and my mom never cares about me...especially because she likes my little sister better than me. I don't know what to do. I can't talk to anyone and no one will listen. I feel so alone. What do I do?

I can't ******* stand her, she makes shitty remarks about stuff I said that was supposed to be a joke. I am only 14 and she's a little *****. How old do you have to be to move out in the United states?

So, I m about to turn 15, and although I m only half-Mexican, that side of my family has been prevalent throughout my life. In fact, I have fond memories of going to big quinces and always wanted one myself. Unfortunately, my parents just spent around $40,000 on remodeling the bathrooms and flooring and stuff. We do not have extra money lying around. A Quinceanera was out of the question even a year ago. But it s a HUGE step in my life that I want to celebrate! I finally brought it up, but my parents promised the same thing they did last year; that I could have a sweet sixteen,and I d have to share it in the same venue as my sister, who would actually GET A QUINCEANERA EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESNT WANT ONE! : ( Plus a Sweet Sixteen is white AF and doesn t share the significance a quince does in my mind. Any ideas on what to do? Like, life hacks for my current situation! I can t take a trip or anything that would cost over $200, since mí Abuella gave me that money to spend on a dress, but I'm willing to spend it on something else since I can just suck it up and buy a dress at a thrift store for way cheap. Thank you!

I met her after I worked 9 hrs and went to fantasy football draft. She was at my parents house and made dinner. I git mad at her because she acted like I was stupid because I was going to heat up the food that easing a metal foil baking pan. I obviously was going to use the oven not microwave. It was pasta and I don't like using microwave for that. She said something smart, I got mad and she took my niece and left. That made me feel and look bad because I had had just got there as planned after they where there for at least an hour. Mostly because my mom will be upset with me. Should I tell them I am sorry? What should I do? lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I'm a "Daddy's Girl" and grew up with my dad being very overprotective of me and giving me everything I wanted and spoiling me and never teaching me how to be independent. Now I'm 28 years old and I'm a very impatient person and I was wondering if that has anything to do with my childhood?

My ex told me last month that he has been doing meth for almost a year.I have been trying hard to help him but I can't. I won't allow him to see his son since he told me of his meth additction because as the mother I will not allow such things around my son. My son is only 4. This morning when I took my husband to work my kids dad started texting my husband saying he bought more, like a 20 bag of meth... and that tells me he isn't stopping, but He is trying to reach out (that's a plus I think) He won't seek help, refused my offer to help him go to rehab... he is gonna kill himself with a meth od at the rate he is smoking it. I dunno if I should involve child protection service to force him to get help or how to help him if I even can. Until he gets clean he can't and will not see his son, I refuse. My son loves his dad, i hate telling him he cant see his father, even tho I know I'm doing the best for my son by doing so. I just dunno what else i can do! Should I call on him? Will it make him worse? How do u help someone in this situation when they don't want help??? Can child protection service help him or will they just take his rights from the kid we have together??? Please someone tell me they have had a similar situation and help give me advice. I've never dealt with someone who has a drug addiction...he is having bad anger issues with me, he is depressed and I'm trying hard to not give up on him, for the sake of his son I have to find a way to get him clean!

I am 49. Obviously, I am not a father or a parent anymore as my son and daughter are over 17. Actually, I never felt like a father. I only felt like one up until son and daughter were 3. At 3 until 17, something came over me and I couldn't stand them anymore. Everything they would do, even if they were just hyper and playing from 3 to age 12 it would annoy me. I feel the need to get my belt and belt them. No one saw their bruises from punishment I had them in online schooling. I beat them as punishment for 14 years. Everytime they would cry or laugh, I'd threaten to beat them. I didn't and still don't see it as wrong my father did the same to me. I would also call them fat and ugly daily. I kicked them out at 17, they're 18 now haven't heard from them in a year. Why? I have always refused to spend time with them, and buy them gifts on their birthday. I did nothing with them on their birthdays ever since they were 3 years old. I wouldn't allow my wife to do anything on theirs with them either. I only celebrated my own birthday and my wife's. I never taught them to drive, they have no ID no permit and no license. I never let them work for money either. I never let them talk to me. Was I a good father?

I don't think so. Overcoming hardship
