Question: Wanting to be adopted by a family friend, but I need help? What process do we take to transfer guardianship?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 01:22 PM PDT

I m 14, almost 15 years of age, and I am adopted by my grandparents, and my mother rarely is in my life. My grandmother is extremely controlling, allows me minimal choices in my life, is unsupportive of a relationship I have been in for almost two years, and she is in bad health. My grandparents, Age 53 and 60 years old, have suffered and are still suffering from medical conditions. My grandmother recently had a three disk neck replacement surgery, and carpal tunnel surgery. Sometime early next year she is to have a back surgery. Grandfather had a massive heart attack which lead to three stents being put into his heart. He still to this day is struggling with high blood pressure. This family friend has been put to take legal guardianship and custody of me if my grandparents were to pass away or fall more ill before I turn 18. Their health is in very bad shape and it seems they are my responsibility, rather than me being theirs. I spend most of my time locked away in my room, as I have very minimal friends and little freedom. Almost every single aspect of my life is controlled and I am never good enough. When I was 11 years old I was admitted to a mental hospital to be treated for a severe case of depression and anxiety which I still struggle with to this day. So my question is, what do we do to allow guardianship to be given to this family friend completely? She is very stable financially and truly cares for me. She is the only person who I feel safe and comfortable around.

Question: If your a parent plz answer honestly?

Do you love your boys or girls more

Question: Is it fair?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:48 PM PDT

When I was younger, my dad used to say yes to everything. I was a little daddy's girl. But my birthday was in July, and I didn't like my phone. So I used all of my birthday money on a new iPhone. I love it, but now I have no money again. There's a few other things I would like, and my mom can't afford them. Even though they're not a whole lot of money. So I asked my dad for a really cool box set of Aaron Carter CDs that's $15.00. Aaron Carter is my favorite singer, and two of his albums I have are really scratched up since I've had them a long time. But these have bonus tracks that I can only find on YouTube. I begged my dad, and told him I'd do some stuff around the house when I come over on the weekends. He still said no. Only if I did everything for five months. Five months? That's past Christmas! And I can barely cook! He used to get me things even when I didn't ask for them, now it's always no. Even if I want a snack, it's no. I haven't really gotten any "gifts" since last Christmas. I've only gotten a few movies since and those were like a dollar. I know money had nothing to do with it, but he has WAY more than my mom. I probably sound like a brat, but I don't get a lot of things anymore besides clothes, and I have enough clothes. I guess when I was little he spoiled me so bad, I've gotten used to it. But this is something I really want... Just one thing. Is that fair, or do I sound selfish? I don't ask my parents for a lot, but when I do ask it's always no... Help?

Question: Why is my mom freaking out on my older sister and our mom ISN'T paying anything for the wedding?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:26 PM PDT

Okay so I have two older sisters: Charlotte and Victoria. Charlotte is out of school and is getting married soon while Victoria is a junior in high school and I'm a freshman in high school. My sister Charlotte came home to visit and to talk about her upcoming wedding, when she walked inside the house our mom started freaking out about Charlotte's multi colored hair and started to demand for her to dye it back to blonde saying that "she's letting evil in" Charlotte told our mom that she couldn't tell her what to do anymore like she could me and Victoria and that she isn't "letting evil in" Our mom started yelling and screaming at her saying that she'd boycott the wedding unless Charlotte dyed her hair, Charlotte told our mom that if she was going to act childish than she wasn't allowed to go to the wedding only Victoria and I before she left. Now our mom is saying that she won't let us go to the wedding which is in January! Why does our mom care so much about what color hair Charlotte has? My sister is happy with her hair the way it is, so why is it such a big deal to our mom? This isn't the first time my mom has threatened to boycott the wedding, she also threatened to boycott the wedding when she looked through Victoria's phone and saw a picture of Charlotte's wedding dress which she wasn't supposed to see (which is purple) It is however the first time she's threatened to keep Victoria and I from attending.

Question: My dad blocked his girlfriend what do I do?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:21 PM PDT

My dad and his girlfriend have been dating for about 4 months and I really like her and her three kids. But one day at her house he was trying to take a picture on snapchat of her on her phone and she got a text from her kids dad. Then my dad got really mad and told us that we were leaving. At the time I thought he was just tired. But one of her kids in on my soccer team and her sisters told us that he blocked her on everything. Facebook, Twitter, instagram. What do I do? I really like her and I won't like anyone else he dates and I'm sticking to that.

Question: MY SISTER THREW MOM OUT OF THEIR LEASED HOUSE, CAN WE GO GET HER BELONGINGS ANYTIME?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:21 PM PDT

My sister moved and invited mom to move in with her. Mom is not on the lease and was living in her own apartment when the invitation occurred. After several weeks they had a terrible disagreement and my sister told mom she had to move out. I have since taken mom in, but her belongings are still at the leased house in Syracuse, NY. I have made arrangements to rent a truck and have other family members help with the move. What rights does mom have? Can sister refuse to let her in to get her things? Does sister have to be present? Do we have to call ahead?

Question: Mother constantly complains about dog: how to respond?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:14 PM PDT

My parents have the world's most wonderful dog: a standard poodle who is so friendly, upbeat, well-behaved and all-in-all perfect. She is 10 and is starting to have health issues. My mother complains bitterly about the dog: "I had to spend 2 hours yesterday and pay $50 at the vet!", "I had to get up 4 times last night to take care of the dog; I'm done!", etc. I don't want to hear it. If you get a dog, you have a responsibility for life, and the joy of having a dog far outweighs anything else. So, how to respond to my mother? 1. "When the dog is gone, will you miss her?" 2. "I hope you don't talk about your children like that." Something else? Thanks.

Question: Am I wrong for personally not liking my mom's ex?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:06 PM PDT

So for the last 11 years my mom has had a boyfriend who she has been off and on with for literally a hundred times (sometimes he'd leave after them being together for two days, sometimes they'd last two months, etc.) He is also emotionally abusive to my mom. My mom and I are not well off financially and my only source of income is financial aid grants for being in college full time. My income is about $6,500 per year and I pay around $350 per month to help out with bills. My mom's ex makes approximately $6,000 every month and when he lives with us he only buys food. Everytime our car breaks down, one of our animals needs to go the vet, or any other random expense, he won't pitch in a dime. He does not own a house and does not pay a mortgage or any other bills. He does however, dish out cash to his 30 year old kids and his ex-wife (who happens to be his 2nd cousin) in a heartbeat. One time he received a call from someone claiming to be his nephew that he hasn't seen in over 35 years asking for $1,500 because he was in a car accident or something. In less than five minutes he went to the western union bank and wired it his supposed nephew. At the time, my mom's car was completely broke down (the heads got warped) and it could've been fixed for about $3,000 dollars. He could've paid half. Turns out the "nephew" was a scammer who was calling random numbers saying "tio! Tio! I need help, is that you tio?" Am I wrong for not liking him? I really dont like him at all.

Question: How can I deal with irritating grandparents?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 12:05 PM PDT

I have in total six grandparent, two are my great grandparents whom are polite and I love them so much. The other two are my mom s and dad s parents. My mom s mom is REALLY annoying, she has poor boundaries and can have a bad temper sometimes, she also only wants to do what she wants to do when she stays with us. My other grandma is nice but she also is not good at cooperating with others and always insists on going to Walmart even though there are much unique and better things to do in our area. When we try to show her someplace new that we think she may like, she complains about the place. She will also complain about the food that we BUY her and she has no regard for others and their time. I love all my grandparents but my two grandma s irritate me beyond belief! Advice anyone?

Question: My brother lets his 15 year old daughter have boyfriends. Is that bad or am I worrying over nothing?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 11:13 AM PDT

He said letting her have boyfriends is the best way for her to learn about men before she gets older and marries a bad one because she's inexperienced. What if she gets pregnant? This is so bizarre. He's strict about everything else, like who his kids hang out with and schoolwork and chores but allows this. He didn't mean inexperienced in a sexual way! Dear god. He meant as in the way guys act I'm worried because it's my niece and my favorite one.

Question: My dad got mad at me for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 11:05 AM PDT

This morning I was just doing my homework and he went up with a angry voice and asked me questions. He had a really mad look on his face. I was scared and answered him, but then he yelled and said I was being angry. I'm not even angry wtf? He told me that he hates seeing my angry face and hearing me even though I wasn't even angry. Then he started screaming louder saying I should get out of the house if I kept doing that. But I wasn't even doing that! I was just responding to his questions! God, I am so ashamed to be his son

Question: I m currently 18 years old, almost 19. And don t know how to leave my parents home on good terms?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 10:39 AM PDT

They won t let me leave. They will hold anything that they can against me. I want to move in with my boyfriend, he lives on his own 2 minutes from where I go to college at. I m never aloud to see him however unless I go behind my parents back. My parents give me no freedom. I can t go out with friends, college events outside of the classroom. And they recently made me leave my job. My mom will tell me that she will kill herself if I leave. And I wi be disowned and will never be able to see my brother and sisters ever again. I can t walk out of a door when I m told that. It s not that easy. I m responsible. Have all the money and support I need. But want to leave on good terms and that s impossible to do with my crazy controlling parents. What do I do?

Question: Can my mom leave her kids home for weeks alone?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 10:35 AM PDT

My mom leaves my brother & I home alone for days straight. He's 17, I'm 15. She goes and stays with her boyfriend in another town. I don't have a phone to contact her, and sometimes I'm left alone when my brother goes out. I'm not allowed to go out. My mom hasn't brought us grocerys in probably 2 months. She'll bring grapes and chips maybe every 3 weeks. I've had to use money from my summer job to buy food. I have places I need to be, homework to do online, and I never know when / if she'll be home. Since I'm not supposed to have a phone, that was also my source of an alarm clock. She really hasn't been home since late July, she'll stop by for a couple of hours max.

Question: Can someone please give me evil advice?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 10:18 AM PDT

We(my mum, two brothers and I) have been staying with my mums friend since July and we're moving out in October. My mums friend is very very lazy and used the opportunity of us being here to become even lazier. She has a three year old daughter and one of her friend also living with her in the apartment. Nobody likes her (my mums friend. Let's call her feefee). Her car is very dirty,it looks like 100 garbage cans .she and her daughter keep piling trash there and they eat a lot. The car has not been washed or vacuumed for over a year. Feefee feels like we owe her just because we stay in her house,so she has me do everything (I'm 15) because I'm the oldest. She doesn't bathe her daughter anymore, I make food for her daughter, wash her daughters towel, feed her daughter , carry her (no offence but she is very fat) , clean her poo, and serve feefee also. I would've just continued doing all this work as feefee stayed on her bed with her fat *** yelling instructions and orders at me, but one day she said I'm very lazy , I'm the laziest person she has ever seen and I don't know how to do anything. I was just like :o .... Since then she made me start cleaning up after everyone. My mum doesn't say anything BC we are in her house. My brothers and I go to school but I come back before them. This leaves only my mum, feefee, feefees daughter and feefees friend in the house. They eat breakfast and lunch and feefee makes me wag everything immediately I come back from school very tired.

Question: Lost my dad's sentimental item?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:56 AM PDT

My dad gave me these white gold hoop earrings that he has had them for over twenty years. I wore them to school for about a week and took them out before volleyball practice each day and put them in a makeup bag along with all of my other jewelry. On the day that I had a game, I did the same thing. When I got home, I opened the makeup bag only to find one of the earrings. He told me that he might want them back to wear to his concerts and now I am really scared that he will ask to wear them. He even told me that NOT TO LOSE THEM and now I feel horrible. I took my earrings out in the locker room at my school on thursday. I am worried it either got thrown away or swept under something

Question: My sister lives to bother me and gets physical when I don't let her get to me what should I do?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:46 AM PDT

So my sister lives to bother me. Whenever she doesn't get to me she just gets physical. I hate it, she throws things, scratches me. Like whenever I'm talking to a friend she has to scream and say bad things about me. I'm only 13 and she is 14. just today I was talking to someone and she's like I'm gonna turn off the wifi because I'm bored. I told her to please not she runs and throws stuff. She always does things like that. Turns off the wifi and computer, throws things, call me names I hate it. Whenever she does things like that my parents always take her side I always try to tell them what really happened but no. I only pushed her a few times because I got so frustrated. Sometimes I want to just kill my self to show her that what she's doing is wrong but at the same time I don't want to lose my life. What should I do??

Question: Why do I always feel like I have to try twice as hard?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:38 AM PDT

I am a senior in college this year, graduating in May. But I feel I am the only one proud of me. I aways get asked if I'm still in school or what I am doing these days. I went to the doctor and my aunt works there and she saw me in the hallway and asked are you still in school? Umm yeah. I used to work 40 plus hours a week while in school and my GPA suffered because of it so I quit my job and just doing school full time. Yeah I'm 25 and just now graduating when people my age are getting married and having babies and here I am. I raised my GPA and I am doing good after my mistakes in the past with my GPA. Today my mom's friend asked if I was in school or even working. People look at me and they think I am doing nothing but sitting at home. I feel like I have to try twice as hard for people to respect me. I didn't get blessed with brains like my sister or looks like my other sister I am just me. I am extremely proud of myself. I was studying human biology and was premed but I screwed that up so now I am graduating with a criminal justice degree and applying to a couple physician assistant programs in TN and GA. I'm happy with where I'm going but you can even tell my mom, my whole family is proud of my sister but never me. I fail a test and my mom yells at me, my sister fails and my mom says oh you'll get it next time. Why do I aways feel like I have to try twice as hard for people.

Question: How / if-more should I do to ensure a l-o-n-g-e-r life?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:36 AM PDT

In response to longevity - and MY impact on my life, I am eager to learn what MORE I can / should do to assure it. ref. My family is reputed to assure this, already... My Grandmother (Dad's mom) lived to a ripe age of 102 y.o. <-Oma was Mom to three children and Grandmother to 5. Oma was born on the island of Batavia - which is in Asia. Surviving both world wars in that region, Oma traveleled all-spans of our big blue marble. She / we were blessed that she was always happy, finding reasons to laugh and smile. She was always active, up to her passing in 2010. / Family and friends would say, "Oh - she is out riding her bicycle again. - She will call you back after she enjoys a tea in her balcony." Opa (Mom's dad) was also from nearby India. He told me that his family originated from Turkey, which is where most of the global-strife is reported to start. Opa passed away at 87 y.o. in Texas. My cousin, who passed away / here is my main point to this posting / because of his heart attack at the (much younger) age of 37 years in Europe. How / what / if should I do to ensure I live to a ripe-age, like Oma ^ did - 102 y.o. or a bit less-in-time as Opa (87 yrs.)? My neighbor's daughther is suffering a stroke. - I woke up to the flashing-lights of an ambulance parked in their driveway this morning. What can I (continue?) doing RIGHT to ensure longevity in addition to staying active, eating a (relatively Vegan) diet and getting enough Rest (capital "R")?

Question: I think my friend is a danger to his baby?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:21 AM PDT

A friend of mine just had his first child 2 weeks ago. I don't want to be rude, but I do think the child was an accident. Right before finding out he was going to be a father, he was always going out with us to drink and play pool. He definitely didn't want to settle down anytime soon. He was a ladies man, always hooking up with different women a week. He's 24 years old by the way. Well now he's got a child. He doesn't want to care for it. He'd still rather be out having fun. He doesn't talk about the baby at all. But the thing that really bothered me last night was how he handled his baby. His girlfriend made him take the baby out of the truck to take it inside the restaurant we were meeting at. I saw him grab the car seat with the baby inside and he carelessly swung the car seat out the truck. The baby didn't fall out, but the blanket slid off and hit the ground. If he had swung the car seat any harder, the baby could've been hurt. I didn't want to confront him since we were all trying to have a nice dinner. Should I just Should I just keep it to myself or tell someone?

Question: Why Is My Step Family So Mean?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 09:13 AM PDT

Hi! I'm a 15 year-old guy, and I have a problem with my step-dad. He is 48 years-old, and has three very bratty kids. One of them is a boy my age, another is a 12 year-old spoiled princess, and the last one is a 5 year-old boy. He doesn't work or do anything around the house but eat and watch TV all day, like a couch potato. He yells at me a lot, and tried to make me into a slave. He tries to make me get him drinks, snacks, and take care of his ****. Once he threw a pile of his laundry in my room, and told me to "put that **** in the washer, or you're grounded!" I stood my ground and told him to "**** off, and do it yourself." He told my mom, and now I have to stay at my real dad's house. My dad an I get along really well, and whenever he's around my step-dad, he'll stick up for me. My step-dad just called me and told me I'm no longer allowed to stay at my mom's house. I told him she pays the bills, therefore his demands don't mean squat. He says he'll just tell my mom that I bully his kids (which it's actually the exact opposite), and she won't let me stay either. What should I do about my *** of a step-dad.

Question: Twin Problem?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 07:52 AM PDT

To keep it simple, I have a twin brother and Im also a male. So recently I've been dealing with mental issues regarding everything. I think Im the Ugly twin. Actually, I KNOW im the ugly twin. Were both in the same HS and all the girls fluster over him and constantly give him compliments on how good he looks. He even knows how good looking he is as he always looks at the mirror everyday. Adding on, he knows how ugly I am also. He tells people were Fraternal even though were not.Were Identical and people say so as meaning of older people but not Teenagers. They would always say how I ended up looking like this and How im the ugly twin. I often get depressed as this affects me socially not wanting to take pictures. My family in the sense of cousins always want my twin to be in their SC since he's good looking. I always see strangers staring at my brother with a astonished look. When it comes to friends, my friends would rather hang out with my brother. The only person who thinks im better looking than him is our Mom and when she would say Im better looking to my brother to my brothers face, he would just laugh and make fun of me.

Question: My mom beat me up with a hanger..I still throb everywhere after a day?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 07:49 AM PDT

So this started yesterday when I came home from school. I had an essay to turn in online so I decided to bring a snack upstairs. I know I'm not allowed to eat upstairs but I was really hungry and the essay had to be turned in after a few hours. My mom came home and went upstairs. (No she doesnt work because she wants everyone to do things for her honestly) She went in my room and broke my phone, then she grabbed a hanger and started beating me up until the hanger broke and I was on the floor. I couldn't get up because of the pain in my legs after her hitting there the most but she forced me to get up so I can clean the whole house. The last time she hit me was when I was 12 (im 13) and she punched me 3 times. This hanger beating felt worse than that. I never felt so hurt before from the beating and her comments during it. I just woke up and I'm very sore everywhere. I don't want to call CPS or the cops because I actually need my mom. Im still young and don't want to be put in a foster home. I'm wanting to achieve to become a lawyer. I need the money so I can get into a good college and actually achieve my goal. But it's not only that she beated me up, she beats me up mentally every single day. Calling me many names that you wouldn't imagine a mom calling her daughter or son. I really don't know what to do. I also couldn't finish my essay and that probably made my grade fall, which will lead to another beating sometime soon.

Question: How can I start calling my parents mom and dad?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:54 AM PDT

I'm 15 and still call my parents mama and daddy. It's just been the only thing I've called them. And they've never tried to change it. But now that I'm older I want to call them Mom and Dad. It's embarrassing to use the other. Thing is theyre very sensitive to the whole me growing up thing. My mom cries when I move up a shoe size. I tried to call my dad, dad once but my little brother made it a big deal and my deal for teary eyed. Should I just stick with mama and daddy?

Question: People don't want to see me because they can't stand my Dad and I am a teen who lives with him. How do I show I am not my Dad and be liked?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:47 AM PDT

I feel like no one likes me or my siblings because of my Mom and Dad (mainly my Dad). This includes my Mom's family which won't have us over because of my Dad so I haven't seen my cousins in 4 years. I am a kid so I cant go on my own like someone said earlier and plus I am not invited since people dont like me because of who my Dad is @Francis----My Dad drinks too much and was slick with a real estate deal but I dont know the details of the real estate thing.

Question: My mother has large extended family she does not want to see because of the behavior of a few, how do I get people not to do this to me?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:46 AM PDT

Edit My mother had a few people who mistreated her Dad when she was a kid. It was her Dad's father and two, maybe three, of his 5 kids. So now, 40 years later, she noted today how she DOES NOT, want to go to a family reunion next spring with about 40-50 relatives from this family due to the behavior of 4 people towards her Dad and maybe a fifth (two of the five are dead). She has a host of cousins though that are really nice there. So my question is how do I avoid someone refusing to see me one day due to who I am related to. My mother agrees these cousins of hers are all nice, she just doesnt like them due to their association with her Dad's enemies (they are offspring of the enemies). I dont want to lose relationships because of who my relatives are if one of my siblings or even one of my parents mess up. I have been to this reunion other years and she has other really nice cousins there. Her aunt is lovely. Her cousins are great. And then other 2nd cousins I dont know very well are also there.

Question: Single moms, I need your advice.?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:40 AM PDT

The father of my child moved in before I had gotten pregnant, I was going to break up with him but then I found out I was having a baby. My son is now 2 months old and I am absolutely MISERABLE being with the father. He does shady things behind my back and blames them on me for something that happened over a year and a half ago, which is ridiculous because he has never stopped being shady towards me. Now he carries both of his phones with him everywhere (ones a work phone and ones a personal phone). When we sleep all of a sudden he's been keeping both phones on his night stand right next to him. I ask him about it and as usual, with anything I ask him, he gets defensive right away and blows up. I have no idea how I'm suppose to find a new job without childcare (I need to already be employeed to be okay'd for child care help) and he keeps putting off filling out the paper work so I can get back to work. I am stuck. I am miserable. I don't know what to do. I'd rather be a single mother (I practically already am) then have to stay with him. Does anyone have any advice, because this is not the environment I want to raise my son in. There is no making this relationship better, I've given my all and it just doesn't work. I do t have family or friends that I can turn to either.

Question: Help me please.?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 06:20 AM PDT

I'm 15, my brother is 29. He smokes pot and breaks things all day while calling me and my gf names and threatens to kill me. He's just gotten out of surgery for being shot because he messed with someone. He hit my grandma this morning and I came at him but she stopped me while he yelled at me and her. I would contact the police but I'm adopted and I don't want them to take me away from here because my gf lives here. Can anyone help me handle this situation please?

Question: Will this world ever be safe?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 05:35 AM PDT

Everything that's happening recently with shootings and bobmings is making me scared for my future. I know there are places that are worse and go through worse things. But that doesn't take away the fact that it's scary to go out in pubpic for me. I see on the news shooting after shooting and it really scares me to the point where I won't want to leave. We had a bomb threat at my school last year and it was terrifying. The school went on lock down and I couldn't even call my parents. I just feel like it'll all get worse from here instead of better. What do you think? To the person saying they call B.S on the phone thing, we aren't even allowed to bring our phones in class but of course kids do. We can have them in the school but during class we either have to put them in a phone bin on the teachers desk or keep them in our locker so I keep mine in my locker because unlike most of the other kids I follow the rules. But thanks for the laugh

Question: Why does parents force their kids to meet relatives?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 05:25 AM PDT

Do all parents do this? I ask my dad and he keeps saying I need to practice socially or it's good to have more friends. The thing is when they try to force a friendship, it's not very likely to last or even start...

Question: Stepmother dilemna?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 05:12 AM PDT

I have a 15 year old stepson. In the time that he has come to live with us, he has caused a lot of trouble. He uses drugs. His dad and I know this to be true because we have caught him in the act several times. My husband tends to turn a blind eye to it because in his words, "if he wants to ruin his life and his health, so be it." In the meantime, our children together (we have two kids together 8 and 6) are seeing this. My stepson doesn't clean, is barely passing at school (when he goes to school) and he talks back. Usually, it was me being the disciplinarian and I would try to ground him. The last time I tried this, my stepson said that I was not his mother and I couldn't do anything to him. My husband basically backed up his son and said that I was being too hard on him. So I backed off. I even tried to reach out to his mother but she pretty much told me, "He's you all's problem now." My own children even say to me, "Mom, it's not fair that he gets to this and that but when we do it, we get in trouble." I recently told my husband this and his response was, "It's different with them because they have had me longer than (the stepson). My husband wasn't always in his son's life due to the mother keeping them apart. Once my stepson got unruly with her, she pretty much left him on our doorstep and said, "You wanted him, now he's all yours!" I don't know what to do anymore. Please help

Question: I hate my gender?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 05:07 AM PDT

Being a girls is something that I have recently despised. In the country I am living in everyone judges girls. Sometimes I question god why he created me a girl. It feels as if everyone is waiting for you to make a mistake so they can hold it on you forever .girls can t sit like that.girls can t do this and that. I am literally sick of this. I won t lie , I am jealous of boys. They can do everything I like and no one say a word to them. My hobbies are swimming (not allowed for girls above 12 to swim), running (if anyone saw you running they would give you dirty looks), riding a bicycle (girls above 12 can t ride it ),sports ( girls are not allowed to participate in sports). And my parents support the rules and the idea of how people are thinking!! Dad told me that God made 2 genders for a reason so u can t do everything guys do. Now don t you think that I have the right to hate my gender? I am treated more of a slave than a daughter. I clean,cook,arrange the house and study only.I can go out only once a week for about 3 hours. Guys don t do anything and they can go out whenever. When I asked why all I heard was a lame excuse " Because they are guys" I hate my gender and I don t think that I could ever love it again. Do you think that I have the right to hate it? sorry for my English mistakes, it isn t my first language.

Question: Why is my brother such a douche?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:57 AM PDT

He annoys me so much. He always has double standards. He irritates me with little things (which do add up in my mind) and if I do that to him, it's suddenly a big mistake. He never admits his mistake. He's made my parents cry 2-4 times because of his stupid idiotic mindset. He's done mistakes before. And because of his mistakes, my parents think I might do them. He's so lazy too. He's always sitting with some device watching shows or messaging friends. He doesn't do any work. My mom isn't a help in this too. She calls him for some help, he won't come, she calls me. She calls me for work, I don't come, she stops talking to me or hits me or takes away my phone. The same punishment doesn't apply to him for god knows why. He never understands when parents say no to things he likes, and then starts an argument. If people get angry at him, he gets angry because we didn't forgive him after he says sorry (which we have to ask for). I've grown to hate him. I don't get how people are cool with their siblings, when mine's a douche.

Question: I think my mom loves my little brother more.?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:47 AM PDT

When I was six, being that I was the only child, I started doing chores: washing dishes, sweeping steps, putting away groceries, etc. My mom didn't put me in activities or camps I stayed home alone most summer because I wasn't allowed to go outside when no one was home. My mom didn't help me with my homework. We didn't have "mother/daughter" time. About four or five years into being married my mom had my brother, the miracle baby since he came after four miscarriages. I was excited. When he came home, I wanted to take a lot of pictures with him and my stepdad deleted them I guess because he didn't want any pictures of me and his son I guess. My mom goes with him to ride his bike and take him out to eat and spends time with him. When she comes home he gets a hug and a "how was your day" and I just get a hello with barely any eye contact. When I get mad at my brother, my mom turns it around on me and say all of the negative things she can think of. She defends him a lot, even if he is wrong. She got mad at me and cursed me out because I said I think it was time for him to start doing chores. I am often excluded from family activities. She barely speaks to me. She doesn't acknowledge me at times. She literally yelled at me for sneezing. My mom is impatient with me. She is so negative about everything that I do. What should I do?

Question: My Mom and her aunt were cutting down their extended families last night, is family okay to insult?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:41 AM PDT

I thought we had to love our families. They do not love theirs and said these people are obnoxious and hard to like that they were talking about (relatives I'd only met two times).

Question: How to move out ?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:36 AM PDT

I am a 21 year old college student. I still at live at home. I haven't been getting along with my mom. Mainly because she's very strict and tries to control everything i do. I don't really have any other family members to live with. I would like to get an apartment with friends close to the college but I don't even know how to go about it. Also, I do have a job and I'm making minimum wage. So I don't know if I could afford everything. Any advice ? Thank you.

Question: What to do about man looking in my sisters window.?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:20 AM PDT

My neighbor, he is about 43 years old still lives with his mum. Me my mom and my sister live in an apartment complex with 5 other familys. I'm 18 and I'm really worried as my job is to keep them safe. I'm 18 and I recently caught this him looking into my mom's room while she was getting dressed. I told him if I catch him doing it again, he'd have a lot to worry about. Now I suspect he is looking through my sisters window because he is always standing next to it with his phone. It is a open space where anyone has the right to stand there. It's really upsetting me because every night my sister comes home late and I think he knows her schedule. He will close the apartment gate so that my sister would open it, giving him the cue that she has arrived from work. And it's everynight. Never in the day. The gate is useless as it doesn't give us security in the first place. I want this to stop it's stressing me out. I'm anxious. I know filing a report would be useless. What do you suppose i need your help. What should i do besides calling the cops?

Question: My younger brother hits me and I didn t like the way my parents reacted to the whole situation.?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:10 AM PDT

Iam 23 yrs old (female) and my brother is 16. I live with my parents bc thats how we do it in our country. so there is no option of moving out! Now a couple of days back my brother picked up a chair and threw it across the bed at me! he passes comments on my ocd issues and iv sat him down calmly and told him not to. this particular incident has really disturbed me since my parents didn t do anything except tell him it was wrong after a few days and thats it. he has hit me in the past over normal sibling arguments. Iam emotionally hurt and more so with my parents approach toward the whole incident. Am i overreacting or wrong?

Question: How to convince my parents to let me go to the color run?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:09 AM PDT

I went to the color run last year, my dad was going to drive me and my friend and then her mother was supposed to come and pick me up. But her mom couldn t come because of some "personal problem" so my dad had to come and pick us up again. I apologized, and so did my friend and her mother, so it was okay everything was fine, whatever. The girl I went with wasn t very close with me, like we weren t the best of friends, but she was cool. This year my best friend is going and this might even be her last year here (she is moving out of the country next year) so I m begging my parents to let me go but they don t want to!! I m considering telling them to let me go as my birthday present. Even my cousins are going. And my dad doesn t have to drive us. I will go with my friend s mother and my other friend will drive me back. Please help me!! I really want to go!

Question: I feel weird, What does this mean ?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 04:08 AM PDT

Here's the thing, I hate my father and I always hated him because of his bullying and his attitude, He's the worst person I've ever met in my whole life, And I never cared about him, just like he never cared about me, So he had an accident recently when he was driving home, nothing happened to him, and he's alright, and when he came back home from the hospital, He was sitting and he started crying and told my mom "i was going to die and leave my kids alone in this world", And she started crying with him, The thing is i started crying too, I cried a lot and I went to my room and locked myself there, After some days, Now i'm asking myself, I hate him, and I wish he dies, but suddenly I gave a damn about him, and I cried for him ? it's really confusing and what does that mean ? I feel bad for crying for him, I don't even know when he said that If he meant all his kids including me (so he cares about me) or was he talking only about his other 2 kids (my brothers) and i'm a girl btw, my brothers don't live with us, They work, i'm the only one still studying, So i don't know if he meant me too, Cause he never gave a damn about me, How do you explain all this ? Why did I cry , Why did i feel this way ?

Question: I need some ideas about things to watch with family other than movies?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 03:28 AM PDT

My parents don't use internet. So I was thinking about getting some ideas from the internet and watch it together with my family through television. They don't like documentaries. they liked the idea of watching images of our city back in time and how it changes. I need more ideas. What are some things that are not available on TV and parents will enjoy watching like a movie?

Question: I'm really scared of losing my mom!! I'm 15 and she's 50?

Posted: 24 Sep 2016 02:51 AM PDT

so my mom found out the other day that she has diabetes because my grandma told me and my mom kind of told her to stop talking about it because she didn't want me to worry, when my mom left my grandma said she has arthritis in her hands & lungs. I asked her about it, the wife of the pastor at the church she goes to died of arthritis in her lungs 2 months ago. I really love my mom a lot, she does anything for anybody, she has such a big heart. I used to be embarrassed of her when I was in elementary school, because she did drugs for a really long time and you know what that does to your face, I just was embarrassed because people in my class didn't like her bc of how she looked. she's been 10 years free of any drugs, she doesn't look like a crazy meth addict, but anyways she's always taking her friends to the doctor for their appointments, bringing them food, taking them wherever they need to go. she does so much for me and I'm so ungrateful sometimes, last year on my birthday she didn't have a lot of money so I didn't get anything I asked for and I bitched at her and made her cry like I was so rude to her. I don't tell her that I appreciate her or anything bc I feel thats awkward. I only say I love her when we're getting off the phone. i would lose myself if she was gone, I would have nothing at all. but anyways, I'm so stressed about this I've been crying every night since I found out about the arthritis and stuff. what do I do??
