Family: Question: How inappropriate was this? Am I really bothered for no reason? Please, let me know.?

Question: How inappropriate was this? Am I really bothered for no reason? Please, let me know.?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 01:08 PM PDT

This is what happened: Me and my daughter talked about how sometimes aunts and uncles can be so young, it's like they are close to our age. But then my daughter said: "yeah I could have a new baby aunt or uncle if grandma (my mother) got pregnant". I was shocked and I thought something was completely wrong with her. Let me know; am I being uptight or was it completely rude for her to say that even jokingly? Her grandfather has passed away, so my mother (her grandma) is a widow.

Question: My brother is very protective of me ? Why ?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 01:07 PM PDT

He's 14. He said that he would kill anyone that offends me. He kind of saved me once from a 40yr old drunk guy. He pushed him away with force. He's very friendly, kind and never starts a fight or bully anyone. He even once almost started a fight with one guy at school, who was calling me a slut and taking my phone away... I don't have any disability or anything. I have many friends and I'm popular. I also consider myself good looking.... So why would he do that ? (I'm 14 myself. We go to the same school. He's a straight A student) We went camping last summer. We shared a tent and I didn't have any covers last night, so he gave his covers to me and slept naked... And that night was cold, so he got sick for 3 days. He once did my 4 day homework because I was sick and got me an A.(he spent all night on it) He's very sweet. Not completley naked... He had boxers and a tank top on.

Question: A question about the Big Brother/Big Sister program?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 01:03 PM PDT

I have a question about the Big Brother/Big Sister program. Do they ONLY pair boys with older males and girls with older females? Have they ever made exceptions?

Question: My mum just got out of an abusive relationship and she's being really mean to me?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 01:00 PM PDT

She got into a new relationship, now she doesn't cook for me doesn't do anything and helps me with nothing after all the abuse I had to suffer from my dad. When her husband orders something it's just for them not for me and they got restaurants and leave behind? Am I being abit over sensitive or am I right to be upset? I was beaten, mentally abused from 4, locked in my room for 4 hours per day and begged my mum to leave my father.

Question: What responsibilities should an 8 year old have?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 12:51 PM PDT

My oldest son is 8 years old. He pretty much only has one chore. I have 4 kids and I do everything for them. Reason being is coming.... At age 8 do to unfit parents I was taking care of my younger brother. I made our own breakfast, got us both up and on the bus before my parents even rolled over. I was expected to do dishes and help sort laundry. I had to clean bathroom and countless other things while my drunk dad was rambling and my mother was too busy popping pills to even know me and my brother existed. I took care of myself. It was hard but now as a woman and mother I appreciate it because it showed me what NOT to do and how to be a better mommy than my mom ever thought about. That being said I have no idea what he should be doing. I want to give him more responsibility one because it builds character and two I kind of need the help. The only my 4 kids get the more I have to do. I spent 3 hours today alone just doing laundry. If there are any mothers out there that can help me without being rude or sympathetic I would love to hear your ideas for give my son more chores and how to go about doing it. He is a great kid and loves to help. I feel the need to do everything because as a kid I had to do everything. I have forgiven and moved on but the scars still remain. I hope that you can help me. The only other chore that is done is by my 6 year old. He feeds and waters our 3 house dogs. My boy/girl twins have no chores. Please help. I can't keep doing it all. I am exhausted.

Question: Child's grandpa is trying to control my time—how do I handle without hurting son?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 12:20 PM PDT

Son loves his Papa, my ex's dad. I try to work with him because I know how his daughter is (she's bipolar) and how she blocks him from seeing his grandson when she gets angry. When that happens, our son - 8 - gets sad to not see him. I am also the primary parent, so I have more time. She gets every other weekend. The problem is: My openness is backfiring. Papa wanted to sign son up for piano every Saturday. I agreed (Papa pays too, which is very generous) but I let him know that some Saturdays we might have plans. He said that was ok. Well, son's been going for 3 months - and he takes him from noon-3 every Saturday. Recently, my family had our Easter party on a Saturday since ex gets him on the holiday. Papa threw a tantrum when I told him no lesson that day. Then, for this weekend, we are going to meet my sister's new baby (son's new cousin). I let him know no lesson. Papa told me to rearrange my time bc he doesn't want for any more lessons to be missed. He's mad. I reminded him I was upfront about having Saturday plans occasionally. He said grandson has already missed enough. I almost felt the controlling grip of ex again. I want to pull the plug - I'm hostage to not being able to plan anything on my Saturday afternoons (a prime time) without fallout. I've asked for day to be switched, but Papa wants to take him and his only day off is Saturday. But I also know my son enjoys the lessons and the time with his Papa. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I suggested an evening after school, but child's papa wants Saturdays because that is his only day off. And he wants to take him, which I understand. I'm just becoming increasingly uncomfortable about not being able to make plans on any Saturday afternoon.

Question: What can I do about these feelings?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 11:13 AM PDT

My lifelong dream is to become a dad. When I hear stories about men abandoning their kids, it makes me severally angry at those men and makes me wish I can be dad to those kids instead. Then I start to stress out because I'm not a hundred percent sure I will ever become a dad and I'm constantly having to hear stories like this. It makes me angry at the world. What can I do about these feelings?

Question: I'm rich now what?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 11:03 AM PDT

Hello, Let me begin by saying this question is serious, and is product of a very unfortunate situation. My father, passed away prematurely at 56-years-old. I am one (the youngest) of his 5 children. My mother is still alive and she has been dealing with all the funeral, and burial stuff along with my brothers as it is a very hard time for our family. My father, an attorney owner of his own firm, and millions in foreign and domestic real estate, had told us he had split everything evenly in his will in case of tragedy. However, the latest draft of his will (read to us by our family attorney) current as of February of last year states that if I was 18 years of age or older at the time of his passing, everything (his money, his real estate, and cars) would go to me. My father and I were very close, I recall when I was young he would constantly tell me I was his favorite son, and he used to tell my mother I was the only one who didn't love him for his money. I asked my father to exclude me from his will, yet he chose otherwise for some reason. Understand I am young (19) and inexperienced in life. The first thing I want to do is sign my mothers house over to her, as well as her car. My brothers are upset over the whole thing, but are all 25 and out of the house. I really don't know what to do with this kind of money, or why my dad chose me.

Question: How Do I Tell My Dad I Don t Want to Go to His House Anymore?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 11:00 AM PDT

My parents have been divorced for five or six years, and ever since then my dad has gotten more and more hateful towards my mom and my he ignired my sister on her birthday to do something with me and my brothers, even though we wanted to be with her. My brother has really bad social anxiety and wanted to drop out of school, and even though everyone knew he should stick it out, my dad dropped him out and never got him more schooling. My dad brings up things he hates abiut my mom or says something is ridiculous all the time, and we hear it almost non stop when we are with him. He goes on dates or out with friends every night and tells us he will be home in a few hours, but he ends up either staying at their house or getting home five hours later. He then complains he doesn t get enough time with us, even though he throws away the time he dies have with us. We never eat normal food there, only fast food, and when he does make normal food, he never cleans up and leaves the kitchen smelling like rotten foid unless we go and clean. The time I did tell him I was having a hard time coming over, he started to tell me how "hard" his life, that it is not his fault but MINE that I don t like it there, and that my mom makes his life so hard because he pays 800 in child support every three months (because he refuses to pay other times and has tried to change the system seven times) even though he makes a lot of money as a physical therapist. Can anyone help?

Question: Not sure but I think my husband twin likes me.?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 10:45 AM PDT

The other day his twin came with us to go get grain and I sat in the middle between the two of them cause twin said it was okay if I road in the middle because I usually sit in back seat if he comes but anywasy . On the way down I moved my knees so his twin brother could have more room but for some reason he kept putting his knee closer to mine so that the would touch and then his hand was down by my leg kind of touching it. My friends says I m over acting but I think he could have but his hand somewhere else besides touching my leg. Then on went family party and everyone looked up his brother was staring at me.

Question: I really hate my sister? She's 20 years old, and thinks and acts like an adult when she 's a child.?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 10:15 AM PDT

I'm the oldest, my father isn't around much cause he works overseas. Many reasons why I hate her is that she causes so many problems for my other siblings, threatens them, manipulates them and uses them. I'm the complete opposite of her (she's the second oldest.) The thing is she comes home so late at night doesn't go to school and only cares about having a job. She never finished highschool ~ I'm so embarrassed of her - sometimes I pretend I don't have one. Today I had a fight and I totally lost it like I had enough I wanted to kick her out and throw her clothes out. I only started throwing her clothes out, she was saying how I like "I'm part of the family I help out too blah blah blah." She makes my mom stressed like when I was about to fight her she came running towards me, throws my mother's cellphone (completely damaged). I was so pissed. Part of me wants to strangle her and part of me wants me to wish her dead. I know I sound like I total psycho - but I'm so upset and angry ~ I'm crying now cause she brings the worst out of most people. She always says "why do I bring so much negativity around here..." "I didn't do anything..." I don't want to leave my family ever - part of me wants me to leave and apply to grad or law school, but I feel like if I ever leave - she'll probably never take good care of my younger siblings or my mom like I always do. It's always me picking up her stupid little sh*t pieces together.

Question: Is life easier for rich people?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 10:14 AM PDT

The rich kids where I live drive to school in their fancy new cars and top quality clothing. They don't have to worry about their parents paying the bills on time or health insurance. My family has to take care of my grandmother whose mental health is deteriorating by the minute, then my mom can barely afford the insulin shots she needs for her diabetes. I'm sure rich people have easy access to every type of medicine. Rich kids my age don't have to worry about an allowance because their parents spoil them rotten, whereas I always have to trade brand new video-games I barely manage to obtain, for a third of the price I bought it for, just so we can have food and gas money to make it past the week. I sometimes wish I wasn't even born because I have to put up with all of the problems that most people don't have to experience. Sure you could say that I'm just a rambling, rotten teen, but you're not the one whose had to live in a hotel because your parents had to choose between the rent, utilities, and the car note! Hell, what am I even saying 'parents' for?! My dad was in prison for seven years, then decides to marry someone else and help raise her three different kids! I swear that having money is the key to happiness in this world. You don't see rich people struggling though life like most. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts?

Question: Am I a prude for preferring to be with family?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 09:57 AM PDT

Ok, I am 27 years old and live with my parents and 25 year old sister. I had never lived away from home except when I was admitted to mental hospital a few times. I do go on vacations with my sister without the parents. The thing is, I can't find a job and my life is a bit unstable. But I feel very secure and comfortable living with my parents rather than some random stranger. I am very close with my immediate family and I want to keep it that way. Am I pruddish for being so close to my family like this?

I need an app I can check my family's phone history like internet and such without it being on 2week long. Is there one I can just download and that's it? I am tired of redownloading different apps all the time.

Question: This has been going on for my whole life history! I am SO TIRED of mom saying I am obsessed with poop!?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:45 AM PDT

Like mom said when I was a toddaler I would take my diaper off an smear poop all ovar every thing but that was years ago! I admit that I think poop an farts is hilarious, an I like watching people an animals poop, an I enjoy taking a crap an looking at it an smelling it, an I like making up poop songs an I like to do cute little stuff like taking mom's resipes an changing it from like "one cup of milk" to "one cup of poop" an then sticking back in the resipe book because that is absolute hilarious! I also like to record my farts an listen to them later. I got a dog when I was 12 an I wanted to name her Ninja Poop Dingleberry an mom said that was the dumbest thing she ever herd an we had to name the dog Sandy! No poop names at all! How gay is that? Last year some one went in the boys bath room an took a crap on the floor an like they wouldn't let any one in the bath room cause the terds was like actual there on the floor an I wanted to go in an see the actual poop on the floor an the priciple wouldn't let me an I started to bawling. I also love holding my poop in an then taking a HUGE crap. When I went to band camp the second time I was in 8th grade I held in my poop the entire week an when I got back I was at mamaw an papaw's house an I went in an took the biggest crap in history! Papaw went in after I plugged up the toilet an said it looked like it was bigger then a horse terd! Allsome! But I don't think that any of this means that I am obsessed with poop!

Question: I can't stand the woman I like is with another man. I will do anything to have her. She is the girl for me.?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 07:59 AM PDT

There is this girl I know who tutors me in college and we always run in to each other and chat and I am so attracted to her in every way. She is the girl for me. But she is engaged to another man. This makes me so sad and angry. How can I get her to be with me instead. I can't stand I'm not with her and I will do anything. She is 31 and I am 25 by the way. I think she might like me to me too since she is rather touchy-feely always patting me on the back or shoulder. I don't talk to many people especially girls and she is the only one that has given me non school related attention (since she actually likes to chat with me)I have to be with her. I wish her fiancé would die. If it wasn't illegal I would kill him

Question: I ju have most of it people have responded but how do I explain them I want to be a girl?And is it weird for me to want to be a girl.?

Question: How can I protect me elderly father from being taken advantage of?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 06:53 AM PDT

My father is 76 and appears to be able to care for himself and make good decisions. This is only how he appears. If you were to spend more than a few hours with him you would see that he is unable to function properly at different times through out the day and makes poor decisions. I have him living with my family and we care for him daily. The problem is that he has been targeted by a 25 year old woman and her husband. She calls him often on the phone and visits with him. For all intents she seems genuine. This is all fake. He takes out large amounts of money from the bank when she picks him up, he makes purchases valued at hundreds of dollars when they are out but comes home empty handed. I have spoken to several different agencies about this but they all claim that unless we can prove he isn't competent, that they cannot help us. But they only ever talk with him at most for an hour. It isn't long enough to see what's really going on. Today I ran into them at Walmart and they had 2 carts full of toys and clothing for her kids. She claimed it was for his grandchildren but again he came home with almost nothing. He had a few bags but not nearly enough to account for all they were buying. What can I do?

Question: I ve never met my father, is there a way to make him pay for all the child support he should ve been obliged to do so?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 06:48 AM PDT

I have never seen my father and my mother never wanted to make him pay for child support out of pride, I m guessing. She raised me on her own and I will always admire her for trying to be a mother and father to me, but it always upset me that she d often have to work two to three jobs while I was growing up just to sustain our family. He was never there for me and I have yet to see him. I just turned 21 and my mother is going through a hard time with finances and etc. Working nonstop for 30+ years has really put a toll on her body, I m trying to look out for her but I also want to focus more on myself as well. I m finally moving out so that means I won t be paying the rent for her anymore and I won t be able to afford helping her as much with my new job for a while. Is there any advice anyone can give me? Thank you in advance. I live in Texas by the way, just fyi. From my knowledge, my mother never requested child support payments from him.

Question: I have been given a choice with a family affair this weekend, what do I do? Read below......?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 04:49 AM PDT

I can go with my mother to her sister's but will watch a fight break out about her sister's drinking (my mother plans to say something). Or I can stay home with my Dad and likely get spoiled all weekend and go to my grandparents. I would much rather stay home with Dad and go to my grandparents house with him but I feel like my Mom's family will sense I am staying back just because of the aunt and then be mad at me. My sister and brother both picked to go to the aunt's despite the anticipated fight but I am leaning towards being with Dad alone for the weekend and going to see grandparents. How do I avoid being in trouble with Mom's family if I opt out of going to that aunts? I don't mind when she drinks but if there is going to an argument I don't want to be involved. Yet, I don't want my grandmother on that side to be mad I didn't come or sense it is due to aunt's behavior (it is just the argument I am avoiding). I am 14. I am 14 and a boy.

Question: All my friends have alcoholic parents and I don't, how do I get over my jealousy?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 04:43 AM PDT

My parents supervise me yet all my friends with alcoholic Dads or Moms get to do what they want because their parent or parents are too inebriated to care. How do I get over my jealousy of children of alcoholics?

Question: Why is my dad always talking bad about me when he thinks I can't hear him?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 03:26 AM PDT

This happens a lot, I'll overhear him talking about me. Usually to my mom. For example, I was in the other room today and he asked my mom "Is Zack asleep?" My mom responded, "I don't know, he hasn't been feeling well today" and my dad responds with "oh give me a break!" I've heard him call me an asshole, and even tell my mother he thinks I'm lying about very irrelevant topics. (Something I wouldn't do, I'm very honest with my parents) My dad only does this when I'm not around it seems, in person he's just very passive aggressive but won't actually confront me on anything. Usually we get along but lately he has been doing this a lot. I can't really talk to him about it either, I told him he was acting like an asshole and he told me he was going to knock my teeth out, so that's a no-go. Thanks.

Question: My father contacted me after 27 years?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 11:28 PM PDT

Hi! I am 28 years old and my father left me and my mother when I was only 1, I don't have a memory of him but my mother who passed away 2 years ago told me a lot about him, she told me that he was abusive towards her, and that he didn't want me. She said that he used to cheat on her, he found me on instagram and direct messaged me telling me that he's my father, I know it's him because I knew his name. He was telling me that he is so sorry for leaving me and my mother, and that he found out that my mother passed away and he thinks I need a parent in my life. He told me that he was young and stupid right there and that he wants to get to know me. I told him that I will think about meeting him, but i am so scared. I asked him if he even cares about me and he said "of course I do, if I didn't care about you why would I be contacting you, what I did was wrong." Should I meet up with him? All of these years I hated him but I am actually considering it, what would you do if you were in my situation? This is so hard.

Question: My future daughter in-law sucks. I have tried to establish some kind of relationship with her. My fiancee knows she is fake.?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 10:31 PM PDT

But I am not the type to suck up to people for them to like me. I love being real. She is one of the few people I just don't get. I gave it a go. My fiancee knows how she is. What's wrong with adult kids who stay in their parents business? She is a know it all. And seems to never get enough to eat. Really I have tried. Her liking me is not a requirement. It seems that my fiancee will not allow her interference. Do you believe this may change.

I'm just tired of being this huge disappointment. I've tried my best and I can't do everything exactly the way they want me to. How do I reconcile trust? Is this my fault?

Question: My life is so boring, and I don't like living at home. Please help?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 09:28 PM PDT

My family NEVER gets away. Ive been on "vacation" once, and that was 4 years ago. We stayed there for ONE day. Arrived Friday, Full day Saturday, left Sunday. Now, my life consists of staring at my computer screen. I can't even move out because im only in 5th grade after all. I have 7 whole years left of this. I hate this. I don't wanna be here anymore... I hate my life! I don't know if I even can take 7 years left of this. I tried asking my family to go on a roadtrip for my birthday, because they said they would. They said they couldn't because it costed too much for tolls and that we always go places. Like, we haven't gone somewhere in FOUR years. Its not even that they don't have money, we have money. I know we do. Ugh.. I literally hate this so much. I can't wait to move out, and finally do something with my life. I don't have many friends either because I'm homeschooled. I do absolutely nothing with my life. Someone please tell me, what is the point of life? To stare at my computer everyday? I literally tried talking to them, and they said "Well u have a roof over your head and people have it worse than you do" Yes, I know that. I just wan't to know what fun is actually like. What it feels like to be... genuinely happy. Is there ANY way I can get my family to get out of the house for once?

Question: How do you avoid becoming angry and jealous of people who were born into rich families?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 09:22 PM PDT

I sometimes get extremely depressed about being born poor. I always wanted to go to college and have nice clothes and a car like other people. I see college students in their early 20s going on vacations, meanwhile I'm living paycheck to paycheck only because I made the mistake of being born poor. About to get a second job which means I will have extra money, but no time for college with two jobs.

Question: I was in my moment room and I saw my sister do this?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 09:16 PM PDT

I had my back turned to her and I turned around and saw her doing a stabbing motion towards my back. What does this mean? Mom's*

Question: I m either a horrible daughter or I have a rude mom, which is it?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 08:21 PM PDT

My mom signed my sister up for a math and science event and my sister doesn't want to do it. She would rather stay home but my mom always interprets this kind of stuff as "stay home and play games" or "go out and learn", the latter being better. My sister would be alone and feels uncomfortable being there, so I told this to my mom. Of course, the alternative would be stay home "safe" and sometimes use her iPad. My mom got really mad and shouted at us for being useless children who don't know anything but online games. I know she wants us to be better people but I feel that she doesn't understand that it's not always games on our electronics. We do all our homework on our iPads and I read on mine. I just want her to be understanding like my dad is. It's just every time we talk with her about cancelling an event she gets on us for talking back to her and becoming "panhandlers", when she doesn't even know us. Everything personal I've ever told her is met with a frustrated speech on just getting over it. I really hope you won't call me an ungrateful brat, because I know I tend to not appreciate all my mom does. I just want her to listen and understand me because honestly our relationship sucks without that.

Question: Why is she so sad all the time?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 08:14 PM PDT

I am a mother, and my oldest child is my 13 year old daughter. Lately, she has been quiet and sad. However, she is doing good. She raised all of her grades to A's, and is becoming more responsible. She is doing her homework (and getting A's), and is doing her chores such as walking the dogs, feeding the pigs and chickens, stuff like that. She used to complain about these things. Now, she spends a lot of time outside, with her pigs mainly. She looks for reasons to go out and feed them/ tend to them. Also, she is getting into guitar. So, she is getting better grades, being responsible, doing her chores, also, she is playing guitar now. She spends time practicing songs on her guitar. She spends a lot less time on her phone. She is also doing better in her 4-H and public speaking. But she is still quiet. She recently turned 13, I am new to being a teenager's parent. Is this normal? What could be wrong? She is "anti-social", you could say. She invited no-one to her 13th birthday party, doesn't have anyone's phone number (except for one friend who lives states away from us and of course family's phone numbers), she is shy and quiet (except for when it comes to public speaking). But this never affected her before. She was always so happy and laughed all the time. Again, she has better grades, is responsible, focuses more, and is nicer. She isn't crabby or sassy with me like she used to. She's nicer than ever. Yet, she still seems to be sad, with her head in the clouds thinking about something or someone. Any other parents experience this? I know, I should talk to HER. But, maybe if I know what the possibility of this is, it will be easier to talk to her and help her. Advice?

Question: My parents Want to kick me out for something stupid?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 08:10 PM PDT

So I'm supposed to be going to a concert that's 3 days and my parents especially my mom is going ape **** crazy that I didn't tell her even though she still would have said no and only wants me going 1 day and if I go all 3 I'm getting kicked out and doesn't want me to come back because I apparently disobeyed her. I paid for this concert with my money and I'm going regardless of what she says because she doesn't let me do anything with my life. So if she actually does kick me out what should I do?

Question: Sister inlaw mean and hurtful. Should I just get over it?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 07:48 PM PDT

My brother in law is on the run from the law leaving behind my 4 year old nephew and his girlfriend. I was helping babu sit my nephew while my brothers girlfriend worked. She makes very good money but I wanted to be there for my nephew. Well she got mad at my entire family because we didn t support my brother and his life on the run. She sent out a very mean and hurtful text message to all the siblings and my parents. It was saying that we don t love him and she hopes we rot in our graves, don t call him our brother or son. She s glad that she has dissociated from us. She doesn t want her son being around people like us ect. We never heard anything from here since. She had convinced my nrother to dissacoate with all of our family. Before I made every attempt to spend time with my her and my nephew. Now she is wanting us to baby sit my nephew, which means having to deal with her. I don t trust her. She hasn t apologized. I don t want her to believe her behavior was or is ok. Should I just get over it?

Question: My dad keeps gambling, how do I stop him?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 07:40 PM PDT

I'm just a freshman in high school, and my sister is a senior going to UC Irvine. I know that its going to be really expensive because she talks to my mom about the price. All I know is that my mom and dad need to get a lot of money to give to her, and it's impossible with how they're acting right now. My dad is the main gambler, he always just wastes his paycheck on Fridays, coming home at 4:00 am usually. My mom goes with him too, but its obvious she doesn't go as extreme because shes still able to pay her bills. I'm just worried about my sisters future, and my own future.

Question: I found pot in my moms bathroom? Help?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 07:28 PM PDT

I was shuffling around in my moms bathroom closet when she was at work because I was looking for wipes to clean the floor. I found a bag and I opened it and found a mason jar with marijuana leaves and a lighter. It smelled like pot too so I'm sure that's it. My parents are literally the lamest, nicest, most harmless people and I literally NEVER expected this. I feel somewhat betrayed because my parents tell me all the time that marijuana should stay illegal and it's not safe and stuff. I want to confront my mom but I know she'll get mad at me for looking through her things and then she'll wanna have a big "discussion" and I'm also an extremely non-confrontational person. I'm 16 and I don't want to steal it or smoke it or sell it. I'm not interested in that. Please please please give me advice Idk what to do

Question: Does this guy have a mental problem?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 07:26 PM PDT

He admits that he's intelligent due to his academic performances and nearly genius IQ Test score, which in no doubt is true. He admits that HE is smarter than many people and because of that feels other people are inferior to him. He admits to hating so many things and issues. He thinks that ideally he wants to date a girl to help her our, be a *hero*, so she can thank him for her better life. He feels the need to exert dominance always by raising his voice and talking fast infront of people. Admits this too. He never says that he needs improvement, change. I dated this guy. It's not biased if i have screenshots of him for example going on tangents on how he hates people based on their race. I dated him because I had no idea. He accepted my insecurities and I feel in love with the affections he gave to me.

Question: My Parents Think I'm Autistic/Senile?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 07:25 PM PDT

Hi. I'm a 15 year old with a job. Recently my parents started being really mean (NOT ABUSIVE). Recently, I've been having an issue with this school gang. I ignore them because I DO NOT want to get in a fight with them. Recently, my school called home saying that I randomly stopped hanging out with this group. My parents than flipped out and told me I need to say hi, and that this is a sign of autism and that they are going to home school me. Any recommendations

Question: Overwhelmed about everything, what should I do?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 06:57 PM PDT

The way my life is right now shouldnt be like this. The house is a complete mess but I just dont know how to get it all together. My parents are always tired and my mom has given up on cleaning because she felt like we treated her like a robot when we were little so shes been waiting more than 10 years for us ( the kids) to clean the house for her. My brother is 21 and still ruins everything. If something doesnt go his way he will either break something,throw things on the floor or steal our money. His boss even tells me that i have to take more care of him so he can get to work on time. My other brother and sister rarely clean instead they either fight or my mom just gets mad at them wich gets nothing done. And i have to do absolutly everything for my parents from picking out their clothes, getting them their drinks,clipping their toe nails and even re heating their food. Sometimes i feel like itll be even more of a disaster if i move out i just dont knlw what to do

Question: A video of a mother discipling a kid for cheating at hide and seek-- is she being too harsh?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 06:56 PM PDT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI8lLFrUhUY In this video the mother is having a talk with her son about him cheating at hide and seek. However, I feel that she is being quite a b**** about it. She threatens to spank him with a belt if he cheats again. When the kid starts to cry, his mother tells him to stop crying. I don't see what's wrong with a kid crying about being yelled at or punished. Also, the kid was about to throw up at the end. It's possible this is because of the way the mother was speaking to him. Watch the video and give me your opinion about it. Do you think the mother was being too hard on this kid, or did he really deserve to be lectured that way? Is cheating at a game a justifiable reason for being spanked? Explain your answers.

Question: What to do about my mom not having much faith in things?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 06:55 PM PDT

Its a few things I try to encourage my mom to do to help herself in a positive manner. She had bad credit & now no credit! She wants to own her own home one day. I've told her several times she wouldn't be able to qualify for one if she has no credit more than likely and nd to open two lines of credit for a couple of months. I even advised her to open a secure credit card for $300. But she want! I even offered to add her to my secure account to help her establish credit. We have an old family house. I mentioned to her about applying for grants or checking out different organizations in community to help fix up. But she want lk into any of it. At times it can be discouraging to tell her something I think she can benefit from. I get brushed off to me as what it seems. I have decent credit not to far from being 700 or higher. I just want to help her so She'll be able to get a house

Question: My stepson had a nightmare that I died while he was with his biological mother.?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 06:00 PM PDT

Hi my stepson 6yr olds, told me today that he had a dream with me (stepmom) and my husband where I died in the dream. My stepson and I have an amazing connection and relationship, but his biological mother constantly bad talks about me and my husband around him, and she pollutes his little head with lies just because of envy, hate and because of immaturity. Regardless of her actions, my husband and I never speak badly about her around him, if anything we support him loving his biological mother, and the time that he spends with her. Should I be concern about the fact that he is having nightmares of me dying? He was very upset about it, and scared.

Question: How do you deal with extremely negative parents?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 05:51 PM PDT

My parents are extremely negative, but they don't see it. It's constant. I do something in my life, there's a comment. My boyfriend does something, there's a comment. A commercial comes on TV, there's a comment. I'm losing my ****, seriously. It's miserable. I don't know how they can even deal with THEMSELVES. Nothing I do is ever right, even if it's what I was told to do. Therefore, nothing I do will ever be right. How would you deal with this?

Question: Should I feel bad?

Posted: 26 Apr 2017 05:40 PM PDT

Ok so I regularly watch these kids. Their moms mom (grandma) just passed away. She's had cancer for a while. I asked about the ceremony and if I could come. The mom said sure. But then about 10 minutes later she goes "you don't have to go if you don't want to. It doesn't matter either way." So I thought that was strange. I asked my mom and friend about it and they said it seemed like she maybe didn't want me there. So I didn't go and messaged the dad saying I didn't want to intrude. I plan on making them a really nice dinner this week. Did I make a mistake by not going? I should also mention I am VERY sensitive and funerals really mess me up. I get upset and I only met her twice
