Family: Question: How would you respond in this situation?

Question: How would you respond in this situation?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 02:05 PM PDT

If a family member you didn't know well and only remember meeting at a family reunion in 1996 called you up as a teenager after you mother died and left a message calling you niece twice removed, laughing and then hanging up, what would you do?

Question: I really hate my parents. Please provide me advice?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:52 PM PDT

Long question. I am a student in college and still upset about the way my parents had raised me. They didn't allow me to pursue few extracurricular activities(otherwise, I wouldn't have had any). Also, they forced inefficient study plans on me while I wanted to create them on my own and tailor them to my strengths and weaknesses. Even today, I firmly believe that if I had more freedom in my preparation routines during high school years, I would have had a much better chance at getting into at least a decent college. Because of this, I hate them so much that I want revenge. Unfortunately, I do not want to get behind bars. I can't wait for the day I become financially independent. If that happens, I think that I am not going to give back an extra penny that exceeds the total amount they have spent on me in my entire lifetime. Seriously, though, I don't think justice was done when I was living under their roof. Also, I forgot to tell that our family immigrated into this country right at the start of my high school, which made the beginning of my high school academics a nightmare. The bottom line is this. I believe that because of my parents, I was not able to do my best in high school and hence didn't get into the college I wanted to attend. Once I start earning on my own, I think I would shield them out of my life for all the things that they did. Please tell me on how I should deal with my current situation because even today, their previous mistakes constantly bother me.

Question: Was it rude of me to reject her offer?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:43 PM PDT

So today I missed the bus because I dont pay enough attention. I decided to walk home. I was walking and I passed my old school and saw my really nice cousin who now works there. She talked to me and offered me a ride and I said it was ok and left. I went home and it all went well but I felt guilty rejecting her offer. I rejected it because 1. I deserved it and 2. I was really sweaty and I didnt want to sweat up her nice car Should I feel guilty?

Question: Why am I always put 2nd?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:38 PM PDT

My little sister is 10, she is the little queen bee to her dad and gets what she wants and WHEN she wants it while she is at his house. Anyway, her dad pays me to watch her before and after school, make sure she leaves on time, eats breakfast, does her homework and an after school snack. The only problem is, is that my little sister is also suppose to help me clean up the house. But she HATES doing it. I always have to tell her repeatedly to do her part of the chores, I never shout or touch her, unless she tries to hit or kick me in which I'll grab her and push her away. (She has kicked me in the jaw and dislocated it.) She will scream at me that she hates me, wishes I were never born, that I'm the worse sister ever, that she wishes I were dead. I'm frankly tired of it, I tell our mom but she says just to hang in there because I'm getting paid, Mom is also a bit tired of her sassy attitude and she has been caught in a bunch of lies as well. I HAVE contacted her dad and he talks to her, she comes up with a bunch of lies, he believes her and withholds my check until 'I' apologize to my little sister for screaming and shouting at 'her!' All her chores consist of are keeping her room clean, picking up and sweeping the living room, and making sure she puts away all her things after she uses them. Which she doesn't do. This morning she painted her nails in the kitchen and left her 10 bottles of nailpolish on the counter and I told her to put them away and she says "Sure" The nail polish is STILL on the counter. Oh! My favorite excuse is when I ask her to do something she says "Yeah." I'll come back half an hour later (from doing my own chores) and she still hasn't done what I asked and she says "You asked me if I COULD do it for you. I said I could do it, but I didn't say I would do it." I get SO MAD at that, I have to walk away. I can't even handle it. She is such a brat and none of the adults in our lives are doing anything about it. I'm ready to smack her.

Question: Who creates more trouble? Older brother treats younger sister bad. Or older sister treats younger brother bad?

Question: How do I know when my anxiety is real fear and when it is irrational fears my anxious mother passed down to me?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:19 PM PDT

I had an anxious mother who was anxious but also bitter. She passed her anxiety down to me and her bitterness. I did not get her bitterness but her bitterness turned to anxiety in me. She was never bitter at me (bitter at others). I am now an anxious adult age 40. My fears directly resemble my mother 30 years ago (my mother died in 2006).

Question: Why might it be that my mother is okay with some people in the family insulting her and gets especially mad when others do?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:18 PM PDT

I know you don't know her so it is a guess but what reasons might one be okay with some insulting her but not others? For example, when my mother's sister insults her with jabs my mother just ignores her or makes a jab back and then forgets about it. However, if her brother's wife insults her she becomes livid and holds a grudge not only against the sister-in-law but also against her brother. I have seen this cycle for years. Why does one person insulting her not bug her much but the other enrages her? I ask as I am trying to contain her when her brother's wife angers her as it costs me time with her brother's family (his kids become awkward around me).

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:05 PM PDT

We were strapped on a boat to the new world but by the time my mom had me in her stomach I got disowned & so Idon't want to see the light anymore. Everything is a business including death, I'm not the suicidal type I'm known as the possitive guy in the room but by the time I get to a bed all I wanna do is just give up. Pay somebody to take me out of here. There's no family, I don't need them anyway they're all racist they didn't want a mixed kid that's why they disowned me & my blood dad's dad told me I wasn't gonna be **** when I met him at 11, I fell in love with his granddaughter & I guess by the language we were using you could kinda think it was a thing but this is just blurred lines. I'm 17 she's 21 but has a boyfriend idk man but I'm tired I'm giving up on myself. Nobody beloved in me. I'm a mistake a broken condom. Idk why God chose me I'm sorry but I'm crying idk why I'm on here. Idk why I happened. I don't understand. I'm more white than I am black but I'm Latino. I'm mixed up of everything & every group rejects me just like my blood & the church. I try being nice & they just f me over. You don't want to read this bs you're probably just as down as I am I'm sorry. Idk what I say. I just wanna rest in peace release myself surrender my spirit & let go. The liberty of the air I feel from jumping out the window is all the thrill I need. I feel like a slave. I don't feel like living my tomorow. Teachers are just doing their jobs, I give up. It's on God to off meIMissHer

Question: Is it unfair for my sister to do this to me?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 12:49 PM PDT

I tell her about fun things to do, and being single, sometimes my friends aren't available, so I will ask her. She shows little interest, until her boyfriend says he would do it, then all of a sudden it interests her too. Or I tell her about it, and instead of going together as we had talked about, she will go to the event behind my back with her bf and brag about it. I think she rubs in that she can go out with a boyfriend, whereas I have to ask others to join me or I go alone (which I don't mind either). It just makes me feel I am invisible and the fun things I do being single doesn't matter. And going out as ladies or sisters isn't as valuable.

Question: Why is he so stubborn?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 11:55 AM PDT

Well, my parents had to leave our home for a few months, because they'd an errand (they work in the same company together) and i was very bored in the house, so i decide to go and stay in my aunt's home... Right now, it's two weeks that i'm living with my aunt... I feel very comfortable during the day, next to my aunt and my cousins, but there's something strange during the night which is bothering me... My aunt's home is very huge and old (so it looks very scary), but i' m okay with it... It also has a huge yard... Every night, when everybody is sleeping i hear someone crying with a hoarse voice in the yard... I can't distinguish the voice's gender (i don't know if it's a man or a woman)... I've looked at all of the rooms and i've seen everybody lying on their beds... I've also went to the yard, but found nothing... This voice makes me sad and i start crying... Everyday, when i ask my aunt or cousins about the crying, they say that they haven't heard anything... What is that??! I'm getting mad... Please HELP!!!

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 11:13 AM PDT

Okay.. so for as long as I can remember, I have never been able to show affection for my parents in any way. I feel uncomfortable telling them I love them and I don't like it when they say super loving things to me. I'm perfectly fine showing love to everyone else, just not my parents.. is this weird? I love my parents.. I really do .. I just feel uncomfortable showing it just so we're clear.

Question: Why Are My Questions Ignored In Favor Of Other Aspies/Neuro-Typical individuals?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 11:08 AM PDT

It seems that I frequently notice users on this website speaking about their "depression." Those users receive plenty of helpful and "caring" responses. Yet, my questions are typically perceived as less valued than those users. Many of those users have a certain amount of allies that they can easily communicate with for some sort of psychological release. I have not had such allies in nearly a decade, as I recognize the toxic hedonism of social interaction. It seems that while we suffer from similar/"equivalent" disorders, that my illnesses are apparently insignificant in comparison to theirs. That they are more deserving of suggestion and guidance than I am. In any case, this will likely be disregarded by vain cretin as before. Thus proving my prior claim well. Pathetic. And just as I said, the question was disregarded by narcissists on Yahoo Answers. Society is such a worthless system.

Question: Should I Leave No Estate To My Estranged Daughter?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 10:00 AM PDT

I had a divorce when my daughter was 3.5 and saw her regularly until she was 6 years old. I had to take up work overseas so I did not see her that much until my return 4 yrs later. My ex got remarried and tried to stop my visitation and even attempted an adoption until I quashed it. I had to battle her attorney and the courts for years with counseling and limited visitation because the courts thought my daughter would be emotionally harmed. I last saw her two years ago because my ex engaged in PAS and brain washed her into thinking i'm a bad person. My daughter is 15 and she stated emphatically she wants nothing to do with me. She also said she wants to be adopted by her stepfather - which I stated I would do if she write a letter to me to that effect and signed it - I never got one. Should I just move on and bring closure? I have a large estate($20M+) and don't want to leave anything or have a living trust for her benefit if there is no relationship. Any kids of divorce? I really would like your opinion if she is going to remain this way. is this her venting frustration and I should wait this out?

Question: Should I risk my life to pick up my siblings from school?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 09:44 AM PDT

My mom wants me to drive her car that has an overheating problem, in the rain, without my license, all the way across the bridge (The school is 25 minutes away says Google Maps) just to pick up her children from school. Should I take that risk? 1.) I don't have my license. 2.) I have no experience driving in the rain. 3.) If I do get pulled over, I'm guaranteed a ticket which you and I don't have money to pay. 4.) The car has a problem, that can be controlled if I don't go above 45, but it's still all one big risk on my part.

Question: Am I doing something wrong with my daughters?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 09:27 AM PDT

I am a single mother of twin girls 15 years old. They have a cousin, my sister's son Bob that is 20 years old. Bob is a great guy and is always available to help my girls with their homework or anything else they need or just to talk to them about their favorite subject (boys). He is their best friend. I trust him completely. He knows and my girls know there can not be a romantic relationship between cousins. They adore him for being there for them when they need help or just a friend to talk to. Some of the other moms tell me I am playing with fire by letting this relationship happen. They say it will always lead to sex. I know for a fact that Bob does not have ANY romantic interest in my girls and I don't think they have any romantic interest in him. To my girls he is just a great friend. Isn't it possible for girls to have a guy as a friend? Do you think I am doing something wrong by letting this relationship happen?

Question: Is it selfish of me to feel a little jealous and angry?

Am I wrong to feel anger and jealousy?

Question: Should I tell my ex wife about this?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 09:10 AM PDT

Even though I am divorced I am still on friendly terms with my ex wife. We did not have any children. She emails me occasionally I and do the same for her. A buddy of mine told me he had a job opening at his company and asked if I knew anyone that could do the job. The qualifications for the job are exactly the skill set my ex wife has. She would enjoy and do well at the job. Besides it would almost double her pay. She recently e mailed me that her current job is probably going to be eliminated. The problem is her current husband. He is VERY insecure and EXTREMELY JEALOUS of her being around other men. In this job, she will have a bunch of young guys WORKING FOR HER. I know she can handle this but I don't think her husband can. Please help me decide what to do. Should I tell her about this job and let her decide what she is going to do OR would it be kinder to just say nothing about the job and spare her the problems it will probably cause with her marriage. Wives, I would really appreciate your input on this. I want to do what is best for her. I also want to stay out of her and her husbands life and not cause her any trouble. THANKS

Question: Is this rude of my sister and family members?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 07:12 AM PDT

So my sister came here to drop something off for the family. She even said to us "Why are you guys still sleeping, I been up before everyone." Okay not everyone wakes up on time you know. Then when she decided to "leave" she bid everyone goodbye except me. I feel so offended by that. And she isn't the only one that does it, most of my family members seems to do that and ignore me. Ugh. P.S. - I am an adult, I am 26 years old. I just hate how negative my "family is"

I live with my brother and sister in law. I've lived with them for 4 years. So my sister in law is extremely protective of me. Like before she goes to sleep every night she'll look in on me to make sure I'm alright. Same thing when she wakes up. She also hates any guy who asks me out saying no boy is good enough to date my baby sister. I'm quite 17 not5.

Question: Why this doublestandard between parents?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 05:37 AM PDT

I hear it every time, whenever a mother abandones her child or children everybody gives harsh critics like what a bad mother she is how could she do that? Etc. But whenever a father abandones his children nobody says a worth or says anything bad rarely at all like its perfectly fine when a father does thar but when a mother does that its the worst thing that exist and she doesnt deserve to be called a mother at all. Why this doublestandard? Shouldnt both parents be criticised the same? My mother grew up with her grandparents cause her parents left her there cause they went to work to another country and now sometimes I notice how mom is harsh to her mother like getting angry at her quick for the smallest things but with her father she doesnt that. Like she is only angry at her mom for leaving hee behind and not her father. My grandma also complains to me how everybody said to her you shouldnt expect your daughter respecting you for what you did to her but none of them said the same to my grandpa. Why this unfair doublestandard?? Both should be criticised the same!

Question: (Is) my mom verbally abusive?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 05:23 AM PDT

Hi. :) Call me Annie or whatever. I'm 13 years old, and I have mild OCD (not sure if that has to do with anything, it might but idk) ...and my mom frequently says things like 'you're ugly'. (I'm having a brain fart right now, so I don't remember much even if she just yelled at me) My Dad on the other hand is nice, but he doesn't live with us. She frequently says how I'm ugly on the inside (when I'm trying to defend myself). I also have an 8-year-old brother who is devils spawn, and I know how immature that sounds, but he lies about me hurting him, which causes my mom to start screaming at me on how she's going to cut my hair and ruin my clothes and kick me out- and she means it. This morning she threatened to do so, so I'm worried that after school she will (she said she would take me to chop my hair off). I don't believe anything she says- I'm stronger than that, and I know I have to wait until I'm 18 and can leave the house (although she is planning to send me and my twin sister, who I am friends with off to europe for college), and I can't confront her or anything. Physically,she has hit me and grabbed me by my clothes and hair, but otherwise none. I'm going to a new school and have no friends, and people called me 'emo' and stuff but I ignored them. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything though. So yeah. Please help? :) Ok so I just remembered a bit: Every morning she threatens to cut up clothes/hair Calls me a ***** a lot Calls me ugly Yells *whatever* for being the last one out of the shower Called me anorexic behind my back Called me 'goth' for wearing blue sneakers (not really extreme but she knows I hate when she does that) Called me 'grunge' for KNITTING A BLACK AND GOLD BEANIE Makes fun of the clothes I choose to wear And that's all I can think about.

Question: Help! My sister is a bully!?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 05:18 AM PDT

So I'm 13 and my older sister is 17, both girls. And we used to get along just fine until she turned into a teenager. Then she started being mean to me all the time for no reason. At first she was just being rude to me a lot but a few months ago she turned into a real bully. She puts me down telling me I won't get a boyfriend and how I'm not pretty(I'll admit she's prettier than me), she steals my stuff, mainly my sandals because she doesn't have the ones I do but likes them better. Once I had to go barefoot in pe because she took my gym shoes for her track meet. She makes me do extra house work because she is too lazy to do it and it has to get done. And worst of all she physically hurts me when she gets mad, usually punches me in the stomach or slaps me in the face. She punched me in the face last week when we got into a argument over something personal, and I started bleeding. She just laughed when I started to cry. I can't tell my dad because he tells us to figure it out, and he's not home a lot anyway. My mom doesn't live with us because they're divorced. Despite all this I don't hate my sister, I don't want to walk around crying all the time and being scared of her I want a normal relationship. I try to avoid confronting her because 1, I have a little brother (7) and don't want to worry him and 2, I'm scared of what she'll do to me. She's really intimidating. What should I do? :'(

Question: I am having suicidal thoughts, what do I do. My Dad doesnt see me much and my mother doesnt help?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 04:26 AM PDT

My parents are divorcing and I don't get to see my Dad much anymore. My mother says he doesn't love us anymore and I didn't see him all summer. All my friends with divorced parents got to see their Dads and the one week I had the oppurtunity to see him my mother left town with me like she was trying to keep me from seeing him (we were invited to something at Father's Day but my mother left town that weekend with us for a party for her father's birthday). My sister saw him but behind my mother's back and my sister doesn't care about seeing him (I do). She saw him kind of by accident at a party. My mother says my Dad doesn't love my sister and I and that she divorced him because he couldn't love people. He doesn't seem eager to see me but he is nice when he does (I saw him in March last). Now I am afraid I won't even see him for Christmas (I saw him last Christmas but not two Christmas' back). Both his parents have died so I can't go to them for help anymore. We used to see him at xmas through them. So I feel depressed and feel suicidal and this is part of why because I am always worried about what he thinks of me. I can't go to my mother because she is always mad at him and tells me he doesn't love me. He has alcoholism so that is why he is only sometimes available. All my friends with divorced parents get to see their Dads and Moms. I am not about to commit suicide or anything (I am not in any danger) but I just get these thoughts. I feel ashamed and sad especially on special days like Christmas or birthdays (Labor Day was my birthday and all I got from my Dad was an email) I feel my mother is gleeful in all this since she is still so mad at my Dad from when they were married (she cuts him down several times a week). She has even said "why do you reach out when all he does is hurt you". If I didn;t reach out it would hurt so much more on special days. Laslty I am 15 and the sister is 18 Also I am suspicious of how my mother left town with us on Father's Day that she is alienating us from him. How do I stop her from this when I am a kid and my Dad doesn't bother to stick up for us?

Question: My younger brother got frightened of an essay I wrote for school?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 04:23 AM PDT

I have a class on crime scene investigation for my 4th period in high school. We were assigned to write an essay on what we think causes criminal behavior. I wrote about 4 pages here on different ways criminal behavior can originate(most of them involving unsolved childhood trauma of some sort) Unfortunatley, my 8 year old brother came across this essay and the part where I explained that some people that are commonly labeled as criminals can actually be pretty decent people just with a secret emotional issue of some sort. I guess by this he now thinks that I'm a criminal in disguise, he's even afraid to hang out with his normal friends. I'm just not sure how I can explain something like this to him without escalating the problem

Question: How do I get my mother to stop causing me to be disadvantages by her anger at her sister?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 04:22 AM PDT

I am a teenager so too young to do what I want but old enough to know what is going on. I miss fun time with family because my mother is mad at her sister so I can't go to any family events or my mother gets mad and takes the car away. So I am grounded from seeing her family for what she perceives her sister to have done. I see others on here have this problem so am looking for help. How do I get her to stop this BS?

Question: Mixed feelings about my father?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 04:03 AM PDT

My father abandoned me when I was 5 years old. I'm now 17 years old. I have no recollection of him. Lately, I've been having strong feelings of hate towards him, but other times I wonder if I want to meet him to see if he's much like me and if we share any hobbies/favorites/interests. I don't know what to think about my estranged father. Sometimes I'm certain that I hate him, but other times I feel like I want to reunite with him spend time together, but then after thinking that I hate him even more. What's your opinion, and how do I cope with this?

Question: Is it okay for my husband s ideal vacation to always be with his mom and brothers and sisters normal? We just had a baby and yet he?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 02:06 AM PDT

Still wants to always be with his family. I always tell him that me and him and our baby boy should go on a vacation as a family, but then he gets mad and tells me I don t get the meaning of family? He is always texting, talking to his mom and brothers and sisters more than he takes care of our son who is just 10 months old. Right now we went on a trip to Arizona to visit his sister and I can see from the look on his face he is so happy. But when I tell him to go on our trip, just me and his son, he always complains that it s a stupid trip. Why is he always addicted to his family rather than our own family? Anyone been in this same situation? What did you do? Whenever I talk to him about just wanting our own family vacation, and I tell him I just want it as us three, he gets so mad. I don t know why his mom and his brothers and sisters make him so happy, when he already has his own family of his own.

Question: My mother doesn't do anything by herself, and got angry when I called her on it.?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:54 AM PDT

My mother is always calling me for the smallest things even if I'm busy. She'll be sitting on the couch and calling me for the littlest things like "Can you plug my phone in the charger" even if the charger is 2 feet away from her. Today I called her out on it and she started screaming at me for talking to her like that. What should I do?

Question: Is what my parents saying is true?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 01:28 AM PDT

my parents told me I need to quit playing video games, and do something more boring like read a book, and go out and meet people, which i'm ok with the going out and meeting people, but they think I should quit playing video games because that's what teenagers and i'm 24 so they think i'm too old to play video games, this pisses me off because playing a video game is no different then watching a movie, if they really want me to quit playing video games then maybe my dad should quit watching violent movies that are bad from his brain, and read a really boring book, since he think I should do that myself, anyways is what my parents saying is true? I highly doubt it because I've seen plenty of people that are in their 30s and 40s who play video games, and it's actually pretty common

Question: My brother inlaw passed away several years ago and need to find out the year?

Question: My son wants a new computer and I'm pretty sure he broke or messed with our current one to make us buy a new one. How do I deal with this?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 12:59 AM PDT

Today he came to me saying the computer wasn't working. The computer wouldn't turn on. We tried cleaning the vents with a can of air, we have a routine for that to make sure dust doesn't clog anything up but we did it encase anything got in them. It wasn't hot, we tried unplugging and re-plugging it in. The computer is plugged into a surge protector to prevent damage from a surge. We called up tech support and they couldn't help. That's when I pretty much figured out what was going on when my son opened his mouth next. "Maybe the computer finally died, its pretty old." He either broke it on purpose or did something to it to stop it from working because he has his eye on a new computer. The thing is only fifteen years old, how can something only fifteen years old suddenly stop working out of nowhere? Especially when it was working just fine the night before. I told my son he was not getting a new computer, that he had to have broken it because its only fifteen years old and that if it was broken he better find a new way of getting stuff done or buy his own because the computer was fine the other day. Fifteen years old is practically fresh out of the box so how can he give the excuse its old.

Question: Me and my older sister lost our parents 10 years ago. Ive been in her custody since. She's very protective and grounded me this weekend?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 12:33 AM PDT

I'm 16 and she's 28. She grounded me for coming home too late last weekend. She has a big house and she's a Nurse Practitioner. She wants me to do better in school before she buys me a car when I turn 18. Do you think she's too strict?

Question: Taking ramen noodles on the school bus?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 12:33 AM PDT

I get up for school at 5am and leave around 6am and I have quite a bit to do and with all my siblings rushing around I rarely find time to eat and I sometimes spread avocado on my toast and grab some black coffee but my mom or dad has not been shopping yet so all I have for a quick fix is some cheddar ramen noodles (I'm vegetarian) in the cup and I love them haha. I'm a bit afraid to take them on my bus because the smell might bother some people? My bus already stinks from some kids who don't know about deodorant or showers apparently and perhaps the ramen will refresh the air haha but seriously should I take my food on the bus and eat it? When I get to school (bus drops us off 30minutes early) I immediately go to the library for studying. (In dual credit and AP classes so I try to stay on top). Would you be mad if you smelled it on a bus?

Question: I think my dad is cheating on my mom?

Posted: 14 Sep 2016 12:11 AM PDT

Okay, so a month ago my parents had a really big fight because my mom thought he was cheating on her with this woman at his job because this girl has a reputation for sleeping with a lot of guys. They are both in counseling and things seem to be well but today I went to the store with my dad and he was on the phone with the woman that my mom thought he was cheating on her with and he was talking to her about work and he said "I look forward to meeting you." And it really bothered me because he said he hates her and always refers to her as "that *****" so why does he look forward to meeting her? Then, he was texting and I deciding to peek over and he was texting my mom because it said her name at the top but I think he has the woman name he s possibly cheating on her with as my moms name so it won t seem suspicious. As he was texting her he turned the brightness on his phone all the way down. He never does that when he texts my mom. I want to tell my mom about it but the fight they had last month really traumatized me and I don t want to go through that again. My parents have been together for 20+ years and I don t want them to divorce but I don t want to have a cheating dad. Do I tell my mom or keep it to myself? Please give me advice.

Question: Is wanting something upgraded and new for yourself selfish?

Posted: 13 Sep 2016 11:38 PM PDT

Whenever I want to treat myself with something new and upgraded (i.e I finished a really hard semester or I accomplish something that was difficult, or when I reach a goal I've been trying to reach for a long time) my mom says it's selfish. I don't do this often. Last time I did this was 2 years ago when the 2014 MacBook pro came out and I had finished a project given in my Honors classes at the time, it was a pretty complex algebra project, obviously it wasn't just me but a ton of people in the class, but I had gotten an A and wanted to get myself something as an award, I bought it with my own money. Now I'm doing the same thing because I just finished my exams (I take summer college classes) and they were pretty tough, and I want to upgrade from a Samsung S3 to an iPhone 6s because my current phone won't even charge in the port, it's super slow even when cache is cleared from stuff and apps are uninstalled, it shuts off randomly, I just want something new. But according to my mom it's extremely selfish and she's basically shaming me for it, I explained that it was a treat for completing hard obstacles but she still thinks it's selfish. is it true? is it selfish for wanting something to reward yourself for completing hard things?
