Question: What should I do? I am afraid of moving out on my own.?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:51 PM PST

I am 28 about to be 29 in a couple days. I plan on moving out of my parents by August or September. I am just afraid of moving out on my own and not being able to make it and returning back with my parents. What should I do?

Question: Teenage girls who can drive would you have done this?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:43 PM PST

I just got home from taking my younger sister to her friends house. Since I did not get out of my car and was only gone for 10 minutes I drove in my bare feet and left my shoes at home.

Question: How to get over the death of a loved one?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:21 PM PST

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 9. Im 21 now. He had it for about a month or so and it blind sided us as to how fast he just, died. I was very close to him, he was also an old school dad so if i was bad, oh boy i would get it. Well, after he passed i was depressed for a month, maybe 2, and i knew it was silly to keep mourning him, so i became happy and continue to live my life in honor of him. Well, i have a buddy from high school that lost his mom junior year to cancer as well. But she had it for several years. Heres the thing with my friend, hes 22 now and still isnt over it. He tells me he has no motivation to live, he isolates himself in his apartment all day and hes gained weight:( I invite him to go to the gym with me and he just sits in his room all day. For 5 years he's threatened suicide but at at this point, its just for attention. Something tells me his mother told him hes special his whole life and now he needs people to do that for him. I talk to him here and there and tried helping him before, but ive given up. How does one even get over the death of a loved one?

Question: My stepmom is a useless person. How can I stop having to see the wicked witch?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:33 PM PST

She is why my parents are divorced

Question: Why does nothing ever go my way?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:23 PM PST

Nothing ever goes my way like never. My grades I'm always fighting for while others just come natural. I spent 2yrs looking for a job and couldn't find one while my friends apply one place and they get a call back instantly. My family hates me LITERALLY. I apply to be part of my school's newspaper and get rejected while everyone else gets in and I really tried hard on the application! I'm a good person always here for others and just a good soul but nothing good ever happens to me. Yes I'm thankful to be alive and many other things we take for granted but why is this like this for me?

Question: How do I impress my mother in law? She is a cold hearted woman and she haunts my nightmares?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:08 PM PST

I am getting married to a man from another country this summer, in June. Traditionally they have a ritual 3 days before the wedding. The men go on their version of a bachelor party and the woman spends time with the different women of their "house" and gets judged. Traditionally speaking they could say no to the wedding. In practical terms those rules don't really apply but it's still not fun to fail. Because of time and flights we are doing these things now instead of this summer. I have met his mother a few times. Usually when you imagine a mother in law you imagine a warm, woman with god like cooking skills and is too caring for everyone. You know calls a little too often and things like that. That's what I imagine. But not my future mother in law. She is as cold as ice and she will give you backhanded compliments all the time. Like the first time I met them I tried making a traditional meal. She said: "Very nice, dear. But these things are best reserved for the experienced. I hear they have excellent burgers in the area". Or when she comments that her son has lost weight and that is supposedly my fault. In a way I have completely given up on impressing her. Feels like no matter what I do I am doomed to fail. But I would like to try one last time. If that doesn't work maybe I should have a real talk to her, eye to eye?

Question: Do you think kids older than 15 but younger than 18 should still get grounded or other forms of punishment?

Question: Why is my sister so shy?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:02 PM PST

In our family everyone is loud and talkative, except my 16 year old sister... she's really shy and quiet. Even around the family she is pretty reserved and doesn't talk much. Apart from school she doesn't leave the house very often and never goes to parties or anything like that. Instead she prefers to stay inside her room all day. She said she doesn't know the reason for her quietness and that it's all good... Why is she so introverted and shy when everyone else in our family is outgoing? How can I help her to become more social and talkative?

Question: Should I talk to my son about this or just forget it?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:57 AM PST

My teenage step son likes to have his friends over to hang out with him. The first time he did this I overheard him tell his friends "I will introduce you to my beautiful, hot, sexy mom". "I am very proud of her". I am not sure that is something he should be saying about his mom. Should I talk to him about that not being something appropriate to say about his mom or just take it as a compliment and forget about it?

Question: Why does my husband have a problem with this?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:55 AM PST

My company is being taken over by another company and they notified us that our department was being eliminated. This will put 11 women out of work. The new company offered us a new position with higher pay if we complete a training course. They found an employee, Bob to give us this training at no cost to us. We take 4 hours of training each Saturday morning. Bob is 25, single and a great looking guy and a great guy to give us his time to train us. He is not getting paid to do this training. All 11 of us gals have called him after work or after class to ask for help and he is always available to help us when we need help. We all thought the least we could do to repay his kindness was to take him to lunch after class. When I told my husband about this he had a fit. He said he did not want his wife taking a single guy to lunch. When I pointed out to him that there would be 10 other women at the lunch AND he could come if he wanted to but it did not solve his problem. Gals, what do you think. Is my husband being unreasonable? All of the other women's husbands or boyfriends don't have a problem with this. In fact they are grateful to Bob for saving our jobs. I will really look ungrateful for all of Bob's help if I don't go. What should I do?

Question: Is this a good time to teach my son a life lesson?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:40 AM PST

My son was failing in Math so the high school recommended a tutor. They gave me a list of tutors. I started calling and most of them had all the tutoring they could do. I called Lisa and she said she was available for 1 hour 2 days a week. From day 1 of her tutoring my son's grades starting improving. She was only getting paid for 1 hour as that was all I could afford but she often spent much more time with my son. After a month of tutoring my son came to me and ask me to please get another tutor. When I ask him why, he said Lisa was so beautiful, hot, and sexy he could not concentrate on math when she was with him. The next time she was here I looked closely at her and she was gorgeous. She had a figure to die for. She told me she is a college student and also has a part time job as a swim suit model. It just does not seem right to tell her she can not tutor my son anymore as she has done wonders for his grades. She is also a VERY NICE person and it is not her fault she is so beautiful. It is my son's fault he can not keep his mind on math with her but I can understand how teenage boys would be distracted by such a beautiful girl. I also do not want to waste my money for a tutor when my son will not learn anything because his mind is on something else. How should I teach him he is going to have to deal with beautiful women all his life and he has to get used to it. Can somebody please give me some advice on what I should do?

Question: Girl at work is annoying me?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 10:58 AM PST

I don't like my surname and a girl at work keeps calling me by my full name. It's annoying. But also I don't like it because customers then hear and know my full name when they don't need to know it. I've asked her to just call me by my first name and use it but she keeps doing it. My surname is unique and sounds silly and I know she's deliberately saying it to annoy me and make fun of me. Other colleagues have even said "is that really you're surname?!" And then I see her smirking with them. What's even more annoying is she has a stupid surname too and I've tried calling her by her full name a few times back too and then she just looks at me really shocked and like I've done something terrible. Why is she doing this to me? What will make her stop?

Question: Ramadan, should I make my daughter Muslims or non Muslim? I left Islam and no one knows about it.?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:44 AM PST

This is very personal question that I decided to ask you guys. Islam doesn't make any sense to me but I'm from religious Arab family and if she become non Muslim it might affect her life later. Also I want my daughter to enjoy, learn and explore. I want her to be independent and be happy. I don't want her to go though what I have gone through. Islam is just opposite of all these. There is no real happiness. Also if she become Muslims she will refrain herself from questioning and reasoning and all the real happiness.

Question: Why do we have to be alive if it doesn't intetest us?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 08:54 AM PST

Not to sound unfrateful but I know plenty of people who had full great lives who are dead. Meanwhile I am annoyed at everything. And I am not enjoying life and I am still here suffering. My mom for example was loving and patient and kind and successful. And she dies. Meanwhile my worthless trash dad gets to live. Tbh I am getting more angry every day that my crap life gets crappier. Exactly what is the point? And I imagine if I were to be happy again it would go away like always. As if I actually start having some success I would probably just die shortly after.

Question: Can i grow to 6 7 if im 6 1 at 15. My mom is 5 8 and my dad is 6 2 My 21 year old brother is 6 6 and my 14 year old brother is 5 11?

Question: Should my daughter's immaturity be a concern?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 07:21 AM PST

My 14 year old with Asperger's is a freshman in high school and she doesn't act her age sometimes. I'm worried that since she's in high school now, some kids will try to take advantage of her because she's more naive. She has no friends and prefers to be alone. Sometimes she asks questions that are irrelevant to the topic in class, sometimes she's just seen as more childish than other teenagers. She likes reading and sitting in her room. I know she has trouble making friends because she finds it hard to be in a social situation and it makes her uncomfortable. Should I be concerned that she sometimes acts younger than she really is at home or at school?

Question: Are there any people who had problems with their parents for making them get a sibling for them?

Question: I am so hurt that my parents put roadblocks up to keep me from having relationships outside of those they approve of?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:49 AM PST

How do I get past this? They do it because they're both very bitter. It's family relationships with extended family that they do this mainly. For example they already have an airline ticket for me to go to Hawaii with them next Christmas as they're doing that to keep me away from family.

Question: Best way to deal with out of control daughter?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:37 AM PST

As I single dad I'll admit to being a bit of a pushover as far as discipline when she was growing up( she'll be 21 in May). She is in college, but lives at home. She's lazy, does very little around the house( always says she's busy studying although I see little) and spends Thurs-Sunday night out on the town. She'll come home drunk and the next day will just be rough for her. There'll be times where she'll leave for class Wed. but I won't see her again until Monday( I know she's fine because I'll see her Facebook pictures). Any discussion of moving out is met with, " You'd really kick your own daughter out? Am I that hard to live with?" What's scary is that she is basically her mom. Her mom was young & wild, loved to party. Looks just like her mom, same blue eyes, blonde hair, etc. Sadly her mom was an alcoholic & left when I pressed her about it. Do I kick her out?

Question: Are frodo and sam in love?

Question: Stepmom and sex conversations?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 05:51 AM PST

I have an 11 year old from a previous marriage. When she goes to visit her dad and new stepmom, the stepmom seems to always talk about sex. My daughter claims it makes her uncomfortable. She was given a puppy for Christmas and stepmom told her the puppy will have "secretions" that will make all the other dogs in the neighborhood go crazy for her. She also told her every dog will want to "do it" and about how dogs get stuck together. I find this bizarre and pointless for an 11 year old to know. This is not an outside dog. My child knows about sex, but her stepmom seems to like to tell these stories just for fun. There have been other incidents also. She is also forcing her to wear a bra when she doesn't want to and is entirely flat chested. Should I be worried?

Question: Why won't my parents buy me stocks for my birthday?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 04:48 AM PST

***I'm letting my younger brother borrow my account for this. So, my brithday is coming up, and my parents asked me what present I wanted. They offered me like clothes or electronics or legos, which I don't want or need. Heck, last year, they got an iPad even though I told them I didn't want one. I played game on it a couple time to make them feel good and then just let it gather dust. This year, I decided that I wanted my parents to buy stocks of my choice. They said no, because I'm a kid and need to act like a kid. Well, I want to become a millionaire at some point, so I figured buying stocks now would be a good start. I mean sure, I could lose money, but how is that any worse than giving me an iPad I didn't need? That's a waste of money, right? And, if they become more expensive and I sell them, I'll get money. That could be used to pay for college or to start my goal of becoming a millionere. How can I convince them to let me buy them?

Question: If my partner leaves who will take my dad to the doctor?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 03:17 AM PST

I have been with her for 6 years now and all these years she has make sure that my father doest get sick and takes him to all his appointments and sorts out and orders his medicines. She makes sure he takes all his prescribe medication and she has to watch out for his blood pressure also, and make sure he doesnt eat things with salt or he will build up fluid and might have a heart attack. He recently had a surgery done to put a pacemaker on his left side. He had to go to an appointment in two weeks and another appointment in three weeks after the surgery and another in a weeks after getting out of the hospital. My mother had to go back to work so since my partner doesnt work and is a stay at home mom of our 3 kids well, i had her take responsibility. Now my father has an appointment today wednesdaythursday and friday and she is telling me that she has other things to do also and will only take him to one appointment. My other brothers and me cant take him because we cant miss work and she is alsontrippin about that its stressful sorting his medicines and basically taking responsibility for him aince she was only 17 at that time she took responsibility. basically, she wants to leave me.. I know my father wants everything at the moment but she has to have compassion for poor him becausehe cant read or write. How can i tellher that ifshe leaves no one will be able to take him to his appointments?and that he needs someone to drive him places when he wants to get out of the house?

Question: How do I handle this situation with my dad properly?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 03:05 AM PST

Last December I had an extremely low time and did some bad things to myself (Depression wise). My dad, who I visit rarely and hasn't been supportive in any way for anything, came to my house and basically said that I have to go with him to his house "the easy way or the hard way" I went with him to stop any damage/harm coming to myself or my family but was told I was never coming home again. I cried all night and couldn't eat properly that day. He didn't care though. The next day while he was at work (I was with my nan who also lives there) my mum drove down to get me but since my nan called my dad we had to leave my stuff I had. He went to my house again and we had to call the police to remove him. Also my mum has residency so technically he can't touch me without permission. How can I make this situation easier to handle? Because on one side I hate him for doing this, but on the other I really want a father figure in my life. Although he never acted like one he still is my dad. What do I do?

Question: Does my sister need help ?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:32 AM PST

My sister always try to keep her room clean but she never uses it and never let anyone in. She always sleeps and hang out in my room. Her room is never used. Do you guys she needs help??? What would happen in the future like she never uses her house?

Question: Do you think the poor/the young/the single ones should keep their children or would it be better if they released them for adoption?

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:07 AM PST

Should the poor/the young (teens)/the single ones (moms usually) raise their children, even going for some time on welfare, or should they place children in more stable, richer, 2-parent homes? I'm not talking about placing a child in foster care but giving him/her to an adoptive couple. Do you think bio parents (single moms, teen moms, teen dads, poor people, etc) should strive and keep babies or give them to adoption?

Question: Should I let me daughter get a piercing?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 11:17 PM PST

I worry she will regret it. But if they are not visible then no one will see it but her and any later scar won't ruin her beauty. She wants a nipple piercing. But I want her to wait until she graduates high school. I don't allow her boyfriends. Should I let her though? She isn't having sex

Question: My Dad said that when my bro was born 80 s a nurse came into the room and told him the baby they were giving him wasn t his it was switched?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 11:11 PM PST

My father was told the baby he was being given was not his baby. That she was sorry and couldn t help him but wanted him to know his baby was switched and because the charge nurse was helping a family. My dad had been asleep as this was middle of night and when he made it off the couch and went to the hall he didn t see the woman... He held this from me for years until a few years after my brother passed away... He was very distraught because he felt terrible for keeping such a secret... After my brother was born he was diagnosed with a disease that in his medical notes said my parents had known about inutero My dad knew then that the ladyat the hospital was telling the truth.... my brother was perfectly healthy during all prenatal care My dad did not want to take this to his grave so he told me... I was very angry and heart broken... My dad said he fell in love with the baby I know as brother and couldn t imagine not being there to care for him when somone would go through so many loop holes to switch babies.... I want to know how to find out what other babies were born the week my brother was or even the night my brother was Just to possibly see a picture of them and see if they look like my family I don t know how to fix this...

Question: How do I tell my mom it makes me feel bad when she answers the questions therapists ask me without hurting her feelings?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 10:31 PM PST

My mom answers questions regarding how I think and feel but, the answers are always from HER perspective and doesn't let me get a word in, so whenever I go to therapy it doesn't do anything for me and then I stop going.

Question: PLEASE HELP?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 10:16 PM PST

My sister constantly brings me down and tells me how pathetic I am. Were twins and 15 years old. Im older by few minutes. I get really scared of her because she threatens me and hits me. People always tell me that were gonna be best friends when we are older but thats not gonna happen. And yes my parents do know how rude she is because she is extremely rude to them too but it is worse for me. I am not sure why. I cry almost everyday then my school work falls behind. She always wants to compete with me but i have no interest. I try to ignore but it just gets worse. I try to stay tuff but when I am alone I just cry myself to sleep. That is why I hang out with friends, so that i am away from her... if she envolves violence she will pull my hair or ruin things that are important to me . I don't have straight A's and she does.i have average grades and she always brings me down for that. I just want peace and i just want to feel safe in my own home...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Question: My parents don't care about me moving?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 10:12 PM PST

Me and my step sister are the same age. Claire is going to a college 7 hours from my parents house. While I'm moving away to Colorado which is 14 hours away. Yet my dad and his wife (Claire's mom) are way more emotional about Claire leaving. Even though she plans on driving home every other weekend or so. They always talk about HAVING to Skype her and all this and that and my aunt (My biological aunt) right in front of me told Claire she has a bunch of my cousins old college supplies that Claire can have. When I told my dad I chose Colorado he didn't seem phased. They have always been more invested in Claire's life and I've always been kind of hurt by that, but this hurts in a new way. Even at the dinner table all they want to talk about was Claire's day or how her ski races have been going but they don't seem to care about my day but act interested for a moment and go back to Claire. I've hinted that I am hurt but then they blame it on me because I'm over reacting. But even my younger sister and 26 year old sister have noticed this. How do I make him understand?

Question: My Mom and Sister Think I'm Shallow?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 09:51 PM PST

Recently I was talking to my sister, and she stated that both she and my mother view me as shallow. I was taken aback by this statement, for her reasoning went something like this: you focus too much on appearance. Now, both my mother and sister are very overweight, and I am thin. I hike 4-5 times a week, and lately I have been talking about how much muscle I've gained and how I think I look good. In addition to hiking, wearing makeup has become a new hobby of mine. Sometimes I talk about makeup and skin care because I have always had such problematic skin due to eczema that I haven't been able to wear anything at all. My sister also said that a friend of hers said I was shallow. My intention is to not focus on the superficial, but to better myself. I feel like if I look good, I feel good. Is this a shallow way of thinking? I, personally, don't feel I'm shallow at all. I'm quite hurt by these comments, and I feel like I just want to shrink into oblivion if this is how people perceive me. What should I do?

Question: Hobbies other than video games?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 08:50 PM PST

Title. I'm a 13 year old boy and my parents have just chewed me out (again) on my "staring at a screen for 5 hours". Exaggeration but you know what I mean. I'm pretty sick of their yelling. And I dont even find games fun anymore. They think I like sitting around clicking buttons and looking at pixels. I've tried many things, like collecting stuff, drawing, reading, learning a language, stuff like that. I moved almost every 10 months. The longest I've ever lived in one house was 2 years (which is right now) and we've moved to a different state. So it's very hard for me to make friends, PLUS I AM HOME SCHOOLED. My collections have all been thrown away because my mom thought it was a "waste of space", my drawing is as bad as my handwriting and learning a language is hard (I've been learning Latin for the past year. Interesting language, but not my thing). I found my interest for music (particularly 80's classics and jazz) when I was about 9 and have gotten pretty good at acoustic, but electric, I discovered, was not for me. Because I liked jazz, I've wanted to play saxophone for a bit but my family doesn't want to spend $200, mainly because we can't afford (practically) anything. It seems like I have almost no interests and the things I am interested in, I can't do. I am constantly moving and I'm home schooled so I have (literally, not exaggerating) no friends. What are some cheap hobbies a young teenager can do? BTW, I only play video games because I have nothing else to do.

Question: I'm sleeping with my husbands brothers?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 08:32 PM PST

Firstly my husband died 5 years ago. His twin brother had always had a thing for me but I told him it was wrong and that I was with his brother. He later got married to a beautiful women but then my husband lost his battle against cancer the situation was horrible. I was looking garter him constantly his brother would coke over to help. He was so great to me and the kids. After my husbands death I just kept breaking down. His brothers wife would help look after the kids and his brother came over to console me I told me he still loves me and that I need to try and move on for the kids that was the first night we had sex. I don't know if I regret it I love him I'm starting to love him more then my late husband. I didn't mean to steal a woman's husband his wife is amazing I told him that he has to choose and he chose me he left the kids and we moved to a different state my kids still are finding it difficult and are staying with their grandparents I don't want to let my partner go. I just want to satisfy him every way that I can. We have been trying for a child. i just want to spend every moment with him I don't want to lose him like my other husband. It's just trying to win my kids over but if they don't then it's their loss he's a good man I just need some LADY advice on what to say to them on our next meeting. Thanks for for your help it means a lot to me after what I've been through

Question: How do I get my parents to stop giving me so much grief when I see my Mom's family?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:41 PM PST

They are mad about money stuff that they think wasn't fair to her so they get mad when I see my cousins and aunts-uncles. They also don't tell me when invitations to my aunts come. I am on my Mom's families side because they DO NOT hurt me due to this like my parents do. By hurt I mean emotional. I get nervous about the grief I get when my parents find out I've seen them. I am an adult living on my own so most the time I am able to do it in secret but sometimes I am not. My mother is a very bitter person and my Dad enables her bitterness and does NOT support me. They (my parents) both have failed me. My siblings don't mind but I do. So what do I do?

Question: My uncle is drunk and knocking on the door (he is an alcoholic). Should I open it?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:38 PM PST

Question: How would you feel if someone said you have a mean aura about yourself?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:37 PM PST

So for example my cousin told my uncle that he thinks I hate him. I haven't seen him in years!!! I'm not even thinking about him and he's about 6-8 years older than me. When I was a kid he use to make me stay inside and let my brother who's 3 years older than me be outside with him. So that made me not like him and I probably shut down and didn't talk to him WHEN I WAS A KID. I haven't seen this man in years I couldn't tell you anything about him other than his name. Another situation my aunt threatens to punch me in the face when I was a teen and although she didn't do it from that point in I haven the liked her I don't say anything to her. SHe moved to another state but she my brother that although I haven't done anything mean to her that I'm just a mean person. My brother said I have a mean aura and I just don't believe that because I have really good friends who love being around me, I make new friends easily, I get good reports at work for my positive attitude but it's just that when I decide I'll never like soomeone and in these cases it's a family member I can't get rid of them and I'm more than likely aren't going to smile in your face and conversate. So I'm annoyed that my brothers reason is I have a mean aura when it's just that I'm annoyed with the person or I don't like them so I'm dismissive

Question: My mother says I am more mature then my brother. How do I make my brother feel better as he is hurt by this?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:36 PM PST

She also says my grandpa (her Dad) wants a relationship with me but not my brother and sister. This to hurts my brother (sister doesn't care). She says the thing about the grandfather only wanting a relationship with me in front of my brother and sister. The part about me being more mature then my brother she only tells me. She says I am usually mature but sometimes not due to learning disabilities but she reminds me I can't help that. My sister she says is the most mature.

Question: I have a very toxic relationship with my mom and I don't know why but it can never go away?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:35 PM PST

I strongly dislike my mother, she is always up in my business and trying to mandate and control everything I do. 'm 17 and i never get to do anything fun with friends or go out, in fact I have a job but am only allowed to work 1 day a week because I need 24 hours of every other day for school apparently even though I get good grades. My mom has been emotionally abusive my whole life, singaling me out from my siblings and playing favorites, and playing really intense head games with me. Due to this my parents were split for about a year, which as messed up as it sounds, I really enjoyed, it was the most peaceful and enjoyable time of my life. Well they eventually got back together and I am living with them again. My dad has always been nice and caring and is there when I need him, but after how mean my mom was to him and how she treated me in the past, I have this large amount of distrust, confusion and hate for her. Lately she has always been trying to be nice to me and be a part of my life, but every time she does, I automatically push her farther away and get really angry and mean. I feel that if I ease into it, I am a weak miserable loser and in feeling this way I get extremely angry to the point of punching fences etc. I hate her and just want her out of my life and she dosent get it and I feel like a bad person. Is this wrong? is it normal? I'm so confused and it sucks Thank you all, I'm sorry for the rant, I don't want to sound like a complainer and waste anyone's time.

Question: Girls who can drive would you have done this?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 07:34 PM PST

I just got home from picking up my younger sister at her friends house. Since I did not go in anyplace and was only gone for 10 minutes I drove in my bare feet and left my shoes at home.

Question: Since being married I'm worried I'm not seeing my family enough. Am I?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 06:50 PM PST

I met my husband 2 years ago and since then I see my family less. My husband and I are SO much alike in that we like to be home. We are also very busy as we are self employed. I only go to my parent's house once a week and for 30 minutes. I barely see my brother and sister who live at home. I want to see them more but also wish more hours were in the day. I know I have to make time. It's not that I want to work to make more money, it's that I need to work to make enough. But I know that there IS slack available in there. Another thing is my siblings are hardly home. Only my mother is, and I love seeing her but I just don't know what to do when I'm there other than talk and not much to talk about. Maybe 4 times in the past 2 years we have had family game nights that my husband and I have arranged. I'd like to do this more. Also my brother is involved in sports but I have never gone, and my husband and I are now planning to go. My sister has had two parties and I've gone. My sister has invited me out a few times and I've not gone, but mostly because I didn't want to go into the city walking around in the cold, just wasn't my cup of tea. I used to see her more. Sometimes I go over there more often, like randomly during the week and see my siblings and mom. I think I need to shoot for twice a week minimum. But I have such a hole in my heart feeling sad over here, just curious if I'm seeing them often enough or not enough. And maybe how often you see your family? Mine's mins away.

Question: I'm 17. My dad died and now our family has no money because he supported us?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 06:41 PM PST

My mom gets food stamps so she can't work (only on cash) but she is 60 and has to take care of me and my brother and she's sad right now too. I don't know what to do and if I try to cheer up my mom or brother they just see that I'm trying and get even more hopeless. Is there anything I can do? I'm getting so depressed myself and soon the bills will come and my moms welfare is not enough so how will we be able to pay?? I would get a job I just don't know where!

Question: How do I get my mother to realize her kids are amazing people?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 06:34 PM PST

I'm the second oldest among my siblings. I have an old sister Younger sister Younger brother. All amazing... they're all kind, don't do drugs, sleep around, skip school, get bad grades, or ANYTHING BAD. My mother is constantly calling us 'jack a..ses' or 'Biitchhes' or just any other awful names. I'm in college for film. I'm 21 years old... I'm a kind person I literally believe love EVERYONE. My mother becomes constantly enraged at us for no reason, she blames it on the house being dirty but I think she's just an awful mother.. I got pregnant at 18 and lost my son, I had to deliver a dead baby. I never understood how ANYONE can treat their kids like that.. perfectly well behaved children. I love my siblings to death and I'm TIRED of her constantly putting them down. She did it to me growing up and I tried to kill mysekf twice. I will not let her ruin them.

Question: Why does my mom like to tear family apart?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 05:25 PM PST

She's been doing this ever since I can remember. She has no filter and feels entitled to say what ever she wants. She talks badly about me behind my back with my dad, brother and sister and than when she gets mad at them she tells me what they said. For example I haven't seen them in a week and her and my brother started arguing and right away brought me into it. My mom started telling me what my brother said behind my back right in front of him and to be honest I don't get mad at my brother because my mom lives for gossip and that's the only way she'll really talk to you is if you're talking badly about someone else so I think my brother and sister do it to feel closer to my mom. My mom hates me because I never join in on the trash talk and I don't listen to her opinion like my brother and sister does. She also hates me because the person I'm with that I have 2 children with. I'm 24, my brother is 25, and my sister is 30. I think my mom has been able to manipulate them to do what ever she wants and since she can't manipulate me she talks bad about me and treats me badly. My grandma is the same and my mom has always pointed that out but yet she does the same thing. Why is she like this? How do you deal with someone like this?

Question: Is this simply a horrible thing that my cousin did this?

Posted: 05 Mar 2017 05:12 PM PST

This to me is just horrible what my cousin did when his sister was going to get a spanking. My two cousins are each 9 and 7. His friend in the neighborhood is 8 and since he moved in a few years ago has a crush on Cynthia. That he finds her pretty is not abnormal and also that he may wish to see her in her underpants is not either....I guess? Anyways here is what happen. Conner offered for a few dollars that he would let him see Cynthia in her panties cause she was going to get a spanking. He tried to be sly and walked in with the kid while my Aunt was sitting back in the recliner with Cynthia flat across her lap. Her dress fully lifted up so yes her girlie white brief was showing and it got well spanked. The neighbor boy got his money full! What happen to my cousin? Other then getting tossed into the bushes by me he did not get punished. Do you think that is fair?
