My dad says he is fine with me getting a B but he still acts differently then when I have all A's. On the other hand my mom goes crazy when I don't get an A. She asks why I didn't get an A and sometimes calls the teacher to ask about my grade. I just got a B on my progress report in social studies because I didn't complete something. I'm trying to raise my grade but what do I do? Parent teacher conferences are soon too

I want to do something fun with my family this weekend, but we don't have a lot if money. There's 3 young teens and their mother. What could we do without spending more than 10 bucks? Preferably somwlething where we could leave the House!

Si, I'm 18, going to college, basically have done everything"right" I suppose. I've been looking for a job, but to no avail yet. My dad, on the other hand, thinks I aint doing jack ****, thinks I'm lazy, thinks all these bad things about me. He thinks my friends are **** ups, when they are all doing very well, maybe just because his friends were **** ups and he barely graduated high school, doesn't think I'll get far in college. He consistently puts me down, and hardly ever comes home happy or anything other than angry towards me. He thinks nothing good of me, at all. Then, he makes it seem like we(my family) put him down, when he's doing all this. I consistently feel angry and bitter resentment towards everything, and I feel like I hate him even more. Instead of growing up a haply person, Im growing up ****** up and angry, just like him. And I hate it because I want nothing to do with him, at all. He's not my real dad, but my real dad is a **** up, and my current dad, has taken care of me since I was 2. And yet, still, he thinks I'm constantly doing bad, when I'm even to scared to ask him to hang out with friends, even for an hour. So yeah, is this abuse or not?

My parents continuously torture me all day long. For example today i was wearing a shirt and it had a normal neck and my dad told my mom look she has a deep neck and told her to cut my clothes with a scissor once i remove them. Yesterday he said he will hit my head hard with the grocery trolley. What do i do i cant go anywhere because if i move out my dad will literally kill me he acts like im his wife and this is torture he abuses me. Like why is he even looking at my neck in the first place. He lets me wear the shirt at home but not outside infront of other people. Its like hes married to me. When he finds out i like a guy or when my sister finds out my dad controls me more and restricts me from going out at all... He comes with me when i go to meet my friends too. When im going for a walk he says take someone with you. All my family members said that they cant let me run away. Im 24 please help what do i do?

I have a big problem with food in my family. I get so hungry after school since school lunches are tiny, but we never have anything! My moms a great cook and all but sometimes she makes dinners i just don't like, which i will eat, but theres nothing to make. She never listens to what I want from the supermarket. Id love sandwich items and other simple things, but she doesn't get them. I run xc and track too, and i don't get time to eat a huge breakfast. small breakfast, small lunch, dinner, and a bunch of exercise makes me constantly really hungry. I don't get enough to eat around the house, even as a snack. I don't know what to do. Id order food from peeped or something like that but my parents would kill me if i did that. Advice?

I have talked to her about this and she is not as extreme as when I was a kid but she still does it. It is like it is an addiction she can't stop. She also gets mad when she learns I see the people that are my extended family who she is mad at (though usually I am able to keep it a secret when I see them). It makes times like family holidays very anxious as those are the times my mother knows I am seeing them. My mother alienated me from them as a kid so now I am making up for lost time as a teenager and now adult. How do I get over this stress? It is my mother's side of the family.

By excommunicated I mean disliked and not included

More specifically, my mother's brother's wife's brother's daughter.

Okay so my friend just revealed to me today that his mother hates him. His mother divorced his bio. Father and moved to the USA with his stepfather, younger brothers, sisters. He told me some reasons that she hates him. 1) When he moved here they live temporary at someone else house, the owner gave him a gift and he accepted that gift. The gift was a sweater for uncoming winter. 2) His mother hates him because the owner that they lived at began hating her and because of him or something. Didnt give me to much detail. 3) His mother hates his biological dad 4) She paid a lot of money to bring him to the United States 5) She thinks he is getting people to like him more than her, but its reslly just his personaitly that he is always cheery and happy. I dont know how to help him. And the thing is he doesnt even hate his mom back. He just respects her, and he also told me he had tried to reason, but his stepfather told him just sacrifice for your mom and God will give back, but I still think it s so unfair to him. So basically he fine with having a roof over him and food.

It's been going on ever since I was born, and it's getting worse. When I was younger, he just made fun of me being born as a girl, so I stopped being girly all together. I thought it had worked until we got older and he realized that girls are scientifically "weaker" than guys, so now he refuses to talk to me as an equal and makes excuses like, "Women are lesser than men. It says so in the Bible." and then I'm like, "What the heck! Since when do YOU read the Bible?!" To make things worse, he is also physically abusive. He beats up my little brother "in fun", but he stays away from me because he knows I fight back. My parents know all about this, but they just think he's misguided. I think he needs help. When I told my mom that he was the reason I don't like to be seen as weak and am so against being feminine, she told me I shouldn't make excuses for my own problems. I stand up for myself all the time, so it's not like I let him do this to me. But I know he just thinks putting his sister down is a joke. I wouldn't be asking for help like this if he was just a little annoying, he's literally been like this for my whole life. I am not going to put up with this, and I am not going to let his future wife have to go through this either (if we're lucky, he won't get married). How do I convince my stubborn brother to treat all women equally? Because nothing I say means anything to him.

my mom does no housework at all, she will do her laundry but that is it, the house never gets cleaned at all, she might tidy up once a month or so but that is it. the counters are so messy with her stuff that I only get a small space to cook and bake when I want to. we have hard wood floors and they only get cleaned when we have a holiday(the dogs poop and pee in here and we clean it up but beyond that the floors are never cleaned). I have asthma so this is prob making it worse. -at home it is my job to clean my bathroom so my friends do not freak out when they come over, I have to do my laundry, tidy up my room, gather trash, bring the trashcan down from the road. I also have to do all the dishes as well. my mom told me to do dishes Monday-Friday so I do, so one sunday I said by the way my new bowl can go in the dishwasher and she said dishes are your job, and I said on weekends it is your job and she said oh. well my mom only cooks on sundays. so she will cook lunch on sunday and then most times she will leave all the dishes in the sink and make me do them on Monday. when my mom is not home I am in charge of her dogs, letting them out and cleaning up there messes as well. I feel like a slave here and idk how to fix that. my friends are applaud that the house never gets cleaned and I say well my mom never cleans it, I feel that she needs to step up and start cleaning and helping out around here, I feel that the least she can do is do dishes since I do almost everything else around here. how can I get my mom to become responsible and help out around here and do some cleaning?

I am having mixed feelings about going to my cousins wedding. Here is the story. When I was a baby my aunt didnt get along with my mother quite well. She would accuse my mom of eves dropping on her phone calls with my father and make accusatory remarks of how I'm being raised. She didn't like the fact that I was being raised in a certain religious background. Later on, she apologized through my aunt about her attitude. She has two daughters who are my cousins. I haven't seen both of those cousins since 2003 and I got a facebook in 2009 and sent them greetings. I was completely ignored. A year later, I saw one of them at my cousins graduation and once again I was ignored and they gave me an attitude problem. Recently, my father sent one of them a present for her baby shower and she is soon to be getting married. She never acknowledged my father and we thought it was really offensive. My father has struggled through many challenges with his health such as having quadruple by pass surgery on his heart and having two heart attacks afterward and I feel like they should acknowledge him and visit with him when they come up to our area on vacation. This has happened multiple times and my father has done nothing to these girls. He would always give them gifts and was kind and he did nothing to deserve this poor treatment of being ignored and no thank yous. It's hurtful to me and I know I never did anything to these girls either and I was always nice. The last straw was one of them coming up here to visit on business. She said that she'd visit with us and then wouldn't tell us the hotel she was staying at and then canceled at the last minute. She cant even spare 10 minutes I guess in the hotel lobby. I'm not sure if I want to go to her sister's wedding or see her. I'm not sure what to do. And should I keep them on my social media? Also, with my cousins wedding the rest of my family will be there and I like them pretty good and we all get along. It's just these girls. I'd go for them but, is it worth it?

I'm only a few years younger than my cousin, yet he never listens to me. He never listens to any of our older family members either. He never listened to me when he was 13-19(teens) and he doesn't listen to me now that he is 20 either. He has been weighing 56kg and been 5 foot 7 for 7 years ever since he was 13. He stays the same. A person that is 5 foot 7 should not weigh more than 49kg. How do you deal with a stubborn family member that has not listened to you or anyone since he was 13?

If you don't have a good relationship with your parents, would you change anything?Would you say you have a good relationship with your parents or not?

So the other day. I was taking a shower and my mom starts yelling about how irresponsible i am cause she though i didnt wash myself with soap:/ then the next day my mom starts yelling at me because I accidentally popped a ballon. My dad just doesnt trust me and no matter what i do he yells at me for no stupid reason and same with my mom! I dont know what to do because latly i have been really depressed becuse of them ALWAYS yelling at me 😢 Please i need help

My wife and I work hard to teach my step daughter her, please, and thank you's. She does very well with us, she listens and is very polite. My step daughter doesn't see her real dad as much, it's usually the grandma. The grandma is out on vacation so we deal directly with her father now. When he brings her back she doesn't listen to us, she is more moody, she is a completely different person. If anyone can have some insight on this it would be great.

Teenage cousins and their parents

My boyfriend and I recently got an apartment together but it's not an actual apartment you would see.. It's a man's house that he turned into three different apartments. He lives in one of them and then we have neighbors below us but anyways... Before we moved in here we was living with his grandma because his grandpa recently died and she begged us to come live with her.. I guess she realized she didn't like sharing her grandson and kicked me out but my boyfriend said if I have to go that he is going with me. So we got the apartment I was talking about. She then got mad and threatened to call the cops because "it's illegal for two unmarried couples to rent a home together" .. I would like to point out that He is 20 and I am 19 so neither of us is underage to be moving out of the house. Lol. Well when we moved out we did not tell her where we was moving to. We told NOBODY because we knew it would just be drama because his family is a little crazy but just a few weeks ago she followed my boyfriend home from his work to find out where we live and she came back 3 times that day honking her horn. We then told her she could not be in our driveway and we would call the cops if she continued to come back. Last night around 1 in the morning she pulled into the driveway honking her horn and then when he went outside to tell her she needs to leave she handed him mail that she got out of OUR mailbox (she opened them) and said they came to her house and she thought it was hers. And my landlord did say if another incident like this happens then he would have to evict us because it's not right the our other neighbors. I would like to add that we DID call the cops and they said since she is not actually trying to enter the home then there is nothing they can do unless we have a restraining order. When we tried to get a restraining order they said to put a no trespassing sign up first and if she still continues then we could get one but the landlord would not allow a sign up. Basically the way they put it is since it is an apartment with multiple people living there then cops could not be called out unless she tried entering the home because "she could be visiting other in the apartment".

I'm 27 years old, I'm married and I have my own home I take care of. I'm currently working and going to school full-time. My issue is that my parents are now selling the house I grew up in. So they are constantly calling me asking me to help paint, pull weeds, move furniture, clean, etc. I keep telling them that I'm too busy to help and its not my responsibility to help them make their home marketable. In return, they guilt trip me. They tell me that "If I was a good son, I would help them with taking care of their home." or "You're a bad son that doesn't care about us, a good son would help paint." Hey, if I wasn't in school, sure, I would help out. But with work, my wife and school, I can't afford time to drive out 30 minutes to where they live and help them paint or whatever. Am I in the right or in the wrong? I pay for my own education and I joined the military at 18. So I been separated from my parents for most of my adult life.

I mean my parents didn't pay for my college or even helped me get good grades and yet they think I have a learning disability just because they're too retarded to help me out? Funny turds. They got me a laptop for my birthday but that's just reimbursement over lost times the way I see it.

He thinks he is a King and rules this planet. He is a taxi driver but tells people he works for high level security firm. He thinks he is Mr Bond! And, he has 6 children and he constantly says how good looking his children are, his children are such a high achiever and he insults my son who is almost 2...with pulling his hair and then says he was joking and playing around with him...then verbally says he is fat, small, short, can't walk, can't talk...things like that. ( my son is normal and nothing wrong with him ) I told him not to touch my son again, don't even say his name...and do not come to my house. I do not want nothing to do with you. I understand that he is jealous since we are "light skinned" and him and his children are "dark skinned" so either way, colour makes no difference but to him it does! Just because someone in the family is "light-skinned" he just becomes jealous. He complained to my mother that I blocked all communication with him and he only was playing around with you son! They take each other sides in everything. I blocked them for good! Also, he is a stirrer and always talk about your back to other person creating fights for no reason! He shows off to much with few pennies! Would you handle the situation differently? If so, in what way?

Please help me! Which one is more pleasant?

My mom let her granddaughter stay with her and then some weeks go by then her granddaughter started talking disrespectful because she think that she can do anything in somebody else house and you can not do that and one morning her granddaughter was using my mom phone to text her mom and they was talking about my mom through Text message talking about my mom never going to change my mom had thorough her granddaughter out the house because her mouth is very disrespectful and then my mom called my sister and left her a voicemail saying she need come get her daughter stuff by Saturday and my sister going to text back your failing at being a mom and also said family should stick togather and that's why your in the condition that your in my mom is sick and I so pissed off i just want to punch my sister in her face so bad I hope I don't see her because I will definitely do that

like one parent on another

My sister is like this and if anyone crosses her she hates them with a firey scorn that is life long. I've tried to talk her into being different but that just made her hate me and I'm her brother. I'm the opposite. I can get to where I can't stand someone for awhile but it doesn't take more than hours or weeks at most for me to forget about it.

Lately, I am considering to cut off relationship with my parents and sort my life out. I had a very troubled childhood.My dad was always screaming at me and punching me for tiny problems or no reasons at all. My mom is a loner and has no social skills, she has no friends and she can't get along with anyone. She also has a very strange temper. More hurtful is that she never stood up for me when my dad punches me. They never admit that they did anything wrong to me and my dad even said that I deserve it. I am a grown up now, I am very insecure, I had been molested, I had been bullied, I had an abusive boyfriend, I don't have any friends and I feel anxious all the time. The majority of my miserable problems are caused by them. I don't want anything to do with them for the rest of my life. Will I ever be happy?

When I was growing up I was abused by my Parents emotionally and physically, I was always rejected and they told they hated me. Although it has been many years and my father is dead, my mother has changed and is a very kind woman, I also have forgiven her and hold nothing to her account. I only see her once a year, but when she visits the small things that she does makes me so mad. I get so angry and I swear. I never swear but when she visits I get mad. Please help??

ok I feel so terrible right now, when I heard my cousins grandparent died I was actualluy close to laughing! why is this happening? I mean I don't think detah is something to laugh at, its sad. and I'm really sad on the inside, but on the outside I feel like I could actually laugh... anyone else get this way?

She was bothered because I see her sister who she doesn't speak to and have her sister on Facebook (my two siblings dont) and so she worried I guess that I'd show her sister her Facebook stuff. Also I had asked my mother not to post news of someone's cancer diagnosis at that person's request and my mother was offended I asked her (I asked her at that person's request). That was another relative my mother is at odds with. So should I feel offended as I do? She has my sister on Facebook and my brother. Took me off means off her friends list and hit the block button so I couldn't see her account. She is still perfectly nice to me otherwise

I am an adult but my mother's ways still have an impact on me. It is awkward to parent my mother because it feels extremely arrogant. How do I do it in a way that is not obvious? My mother is not a bad mother, she is just a grudge holder and it comes back to hurt me. She doesn't change despite this.

Okay, so apparently my would-be mom was named Lena and she was Chinese. My father almost married her. But it has been an extremely long time since he last spoke to her. I want to find her social media on the Internet and contact her. How do I get her information?

I've called on my great neice weeks ago and she goes from house to house with her young baby, she neglects her in so many ways. I have called and had friends call on her including other relatives and still they haven't located her. They don't seem to care! I've given them names of friends houses that they stay at, their job information and still they haven't done anything. Please give me some more options! I've even given them her phone number!!!! I'm so stressed out. My great neice is in danger with her junkie mom

I have talked to her about this and she is not as extreme as when I was a kid but she still does it. It is like it is an addiction she can't stop. She also gets mad when she learns I see the people that are my extended family who she is mad at (though usually I am able to keep it a secret when I see them). It makes times like family holidays very anxious as those are the times my mother knows I am seeing them. My mother alienated me from them as a kid so now I am making up for lost time as a teenager and now adult. How do I get over this stress? It is my mother's side of the family.

Hi, I am a University student and live 2 hours away from my brother as well as 13 hours away from my parents. I have seen my brother once since he moved here in June. He has asked me to come during three weeks but I declined as I feel that I do not get much done academically when I am with him and also because I feel that we have a lot of differences. On the other hand, my Dad is turning 60 on the 30th. My brother wanted to go and see him at home with me. I declined again citing that I had a University event on Saturday October 1st. The long trip that I will have to undergo there (a 13 hour bus trip also makes me worried). I als thought that I will be at home from mid November to mid February so I will have a lot of time to spend with my parents Am I being difficult or bad here? Do you think I my hurt my family?

My grandfather is 73 years old. He smokes a pipe and recently has lost his license due to his worsening eye sight. He lives down the block. About once a week or so, he'll call me and ask if I will go to the tobacco shop and pick him up a pouch of pipe tobacco. My girlfriend said that was horrible and I shouldn't do it. That if it is a hardship for him to walk to the tobacco shop (it's over a mile from our house) then that will make him smoke less. She said I'm enabling his addiction like he was a meth user or something. I don't feel it's my job to lecture him. If I told him I wouldn't buy his tobacco, then my mom or dad would. If they couldn't or wouldn't then I think he'd walk the 1 1/2 miles to the shop.

I'm a 25-year-old male with autism. My parents are separated and I split time between them. I have graduated from college and have held down the same steady (albeit part-time and low-paying) job for almost two years. My problem is that I'm increasingly unhappy living with either of my parents, especially my father, and I would much prefer a place of my own. I'm not able to drive, but I am well able to get around town and to and from work by other means (bus, walk, somebody gives me a ride, etc). I love my job and my co-workers are my biggest source of happiness and inspiration. I receive social security benefits on top of my regular work salary. It has been suggested by many that a group home is my best option, but I disagree with that because I've never been in trouble with the law, gotten involved with drugs, run away from home, had serious mental health issues or depression, etc. I'm just unhappy with living with my parents. I'm pretty responsible and my disability doesn't impede me from doing most things. The biggest issue I see is from a financial standpoint. Should I move into a group home, or is trying an apartment sensible?

This is my 1st job. I just started a week ago, & my manger is already giving so many hours. I told my manger that this was my 1st job & that I was homeschooled. I feel that because he thinks I'm homeschooled, I can work all these hours. I don't even have a set schedule either, I get my hours every week. They other night I had to work from 11 am to 9:30pm. I had to close the store & I didn't get home to 11pm. What do you think I should do?.....

I am 18 years old and I don t want kids, never have. I sort of want to adopt to give children a better home but as far as it goes I don t want any of my own. My friend and other people find me abnormal. I usually get asked a variety of questions like "Are you asexual" "Fo you think you will be a bad Mum" "Are you a lesbian" and a few others. Is it weird for a women to not want children or would I change my mind eventually?

I'm a 15 year old boy, my mom said she would take my phone away forever, and ground me for a year if she caught me smoking weed. My dad used to smoke in high school, and doesn't really care. What should I do?

So my dad passed away from cancer and now my mom doesn't have much time either they are the only relatives I have here in the US but my uncles and aunts are in India. I have a job at a movie theater and live in an apartment that I've been paying for rent with the help of my relatives in India and my paycheck. I was wondering if i'd be put into foster care if I can pretty much care for myself?

Me and my brother were sleeping down in my basement together just for fun. But he woke me up on accident because he was lifting up my shorts and had the flashlight on his phone on. When i woke up he screamed don t move and he said there was a spider on me so i didn t think anything of it.But a few weeks later he wanted me to set an alarm on his phone and while doing so i accidentally saw something. He took videos of me on his phone and he is lifting up my shorts and going inside of them. They are each like 1 minute long, I m also 17 and he is 16. I just don t what do do about it and do i confront him or my parents. But i have told my older sister who is 19 because i needed somebody to talk to. I keep crying because i feel grossed out and don t know if he sent them to anyone of his friends or he just keeps it to himself so what should i do. I also deleted the photos off of his phone. PLEASE HELP

I'm looking for ways or organizations that can help my mother. She is in her 40's and is currently disabled mentally and physically. She is unable to work, and is a single parent of 2, (I'm the 3rd but I'm 21). She is also an honorably discharged Navy veteran who served during war time (stayed on us soil though). She receives a small amount of child support for my younger sister, and okay child support and social security for my younger brother (who's father passed away). Right now I'm living with her helping out the little bit that I can as I work a minimum wage job and take care of student loans. I'm just looking for a way to help her, the system won't give her food stamps or anything other than health insurance. The VA right now is only taken care of her psychological needs. She needs more help with money though. We own the house we live in but it's very old, it needs a roof, and new electrial wiring to be safe. It's cold in the winter and we live in NY. While I was away at college she stayed in the house and just closed off the upstairs and put electric heaters in the living room to stay warm. That's no way to live, especially with kids. She needs more help, she can't even work to help her self and there is only so much to I can do. Any suggestions for aid that she could try for would be amazing, she really needs it!

I am a 63 year old grandmomma to three beautiful granddaughters, ages 17, 12, and 9. The 17 and 9 year olds are great, but it is the 12 year old who is the problem. Every time I have her over at my house, she sneaks black olives into my frootloops, knowing that I have a phobia of insects and freak out when I see a big black olive in my bowl and then I have to throw it all away. Once, I even bit into an olive unexpectedly and bit down really hard on the seed and chipped my tooth. It was extremely painful. Last night, I found her dirty socks in my freezer, and then I got a call from her threatening to hit me in the face if I told anyone about her behavior. How should I handle this? My 12 year old granddaughter even tears up my clothes until they look like this: http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae264/ashantifan1224/34554.jpg

I'm am adult and it was my first time taking drumming lessons. I was nervous as hell. Anyway, as I played the drums, I ****** up a little, but I was able to keep up the rhythm. At the end of class, the teacher told me that I did really good and that I have talent in drumming. Wha did he mean when he said that

So hello guys. I send this girl a dirty pic anonymously. She keep asking me for my name, why did she do that? I know her in real life and have a crush on her. But idk I wanna test her

ok so i watched this insane court video of this mother& what her children did to cause her to kill all of them besides one of them.... it sounds crazy right? but the reason behind it is crazy 2. So , if u havent watched it, the youngest boy was being raped constantly & beaten by his older sister, 11.. & his older brother that is 9. and this boy that is being abused by his siblings is only 6. so the mom found out about this crazy stuff and she goes NUTS! WHO WOULDNT? and she kills her other children that did this, and tortured them. she hit them repeatedly and would harder and harder each time the young boy would tell her more and more that they did WHICH WAS CRAZY. such as peeing on the boy..hurting him..making him get raped while the other is watching.. and here is my question.. what would u do in this situation? i was starting to think HECK YA THOSE KIDS SHOULDVE BEEN GONE FROM EARTH!! but i read the comments on it and the people were saying how the mother is crazy and should have never done that and nobody was even thinking about the things that the young child went through... so it made me wonder who i am actually. am i wrong for thinking what she did had a decent reason? just havin a young 6 year old sister and if that happen to her i would go insane. i dont know if i would kill my own children because that would be a demon taking over me or something! i dont know tho... i just feel like she heard so much and did it to protect the child. what would u guys do?
