Question: Asking please?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 01:48 PM PDT

My sister stole my computer mouse, and I am commanding her to give it back to me, but she says I have to say please first. Is this really just? If it is my property that she stole, should I really have to say please to get it back?

Question: Fighting over money...do i give him all the money already?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 01:05 PM PDT

My mother passed away about 8 months ago, in the incident my cousin was also killed and my older brother was hurt but is fine now. All this happened in el Salvador i live in LA, CA. We had to sell my moms house for which we received about $4500 my younger brother n I decided not to get any money so that my older brother could keep it all for hospital bills n stuff. My aunt is the one who keeps the money she keeps track of how much he has n takes care of the bills. My brother is now fighting because he wants to have all the money but its because another aunt keeps putting ideas in his head. My dad said not to give him the money all at once cuz he will waste it all which is what he has been doing all this time waisting the money like nothing. We talked earlier and argued about the money again. I work night shifts get home around 3/4 am to pay rent for a place that is not even mine. Yes we decided not to get any of that money but I don't think its fair that he just wastes the money like nothing, all we're trying to do is make it last. I feel like giving him all the money already but I don't know what to do now, they placed so many responsibilities on me that I didn't even ask to have.

Question: How can I find these distant cousins my mom had contact with, when they where in Argentina?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 01:00 PM PDT

Around 1975 my mother lost contact & they didn t give my mom a forwarding address. It s like they all dropped off the side of the earth. These relatives where from Yorkville Ontario Canada, went to Rhode Island, got on a boat that went to Argentina when my mother was a teen. She kept in contact with them up until the mid 1970's.

Question: Is it OK to do this for my daughter's tutor?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 11:58 AM PDT

I got a note from my daughter's high school that she was failing in Math. They suggested a private tutor for her. They gave my daughter a list of tutors for math. My daughters ask her friends who was the best tutor and the all told her John Doe was a great tutor and his price was reasonable. That caused me a BIG problem. John Doe went to high school with me and I had turned him down for dates when he ask me out. I was afraid he would still remember and treat my daughter badly. However my daughter insisted she wanted him for a tutor. With great fear I agreed to let John Doe tutor my daughter. Since I am using my married name now, I hoped he would not know I was her mother. It appears my fears were for nothing. My daughters grade went from F to A in math. She thinks John is the greatest tutor and the greatest guy EVER. She called him and emailed him MANY times and he always helped her with her problems and never got paid for all this extra time he gave her. I asked her if he ever mentioned me and she said no. Both my daughter and I want to show John our great appreciation for what he did to help my daughter. We want to take him to dinner at a high end restaurant but I am afraid he will recognize me and it will be very awkward. Please give me some guidance on how I should handle this. Will he even remember me and if he does will he still be mad at me after all these years? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Question: Why does my sister call me a bad father for?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 11:51 AM PDT

Am I a good father? These are some things I have done for my kids. I am 55 my kids are 17 and 18. When they were 5 and 6 I told them Santa was not real. At 5 and 6 I stopped buying them christmas presents. When they were 8 and 9 I stopped buying them birthday presents and stopped celebrating their birthdays. I have never taught either how to drive but I expect them both to move out with no transportation. I have had both homeschooled since they were 8 and 9. Stopped allowing them to go to summer camps at 11 and 12. When they were 14 and 15 I made them get rid of all of their games and electronics. As they were way too old then. Am I a good father? Only wondering as my brother and sister have told me I am "horrible" but I do not think that I am.

Question: Why does my auntie love pretending to take care of people everyone else hates?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 11:11 AM PDT

By pretending to take care of I mean she makes a big show of it and complains about the effort it takes but really behind closed doors she's mean to the person or just ignores them. I had to live with my auntie most of my childhood and I saw her doing this to 3 or 4 people. Why would someone act like this? I mean yeah she might well be autistic but I don't think it's an autism "thing" per se to do stuff like that.

Question: My wife laughs at every joke of my brother-in law. I find that very annoying. No one else finds that amusing except her.?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 11:11 AM PDT

My wife is quite a serious person but when she meets my brother in law, I find her giggling at everything he says. She gives attention to every question he asks. That makes me feel jealous. What should I do?

Question: Questions About Parents and "Talking Back"?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 10:33 AM PDT

Parents. Do you ever have a kid who talks back? When they argue with you in a rude manner? Well, I'm kind of in the same situation: but I'm the kid. But the only problem is that I'm not rude, and even then, my mom and dad yell at me to stop talking back. Even the definition says "rude or impertinent remarks made in reply to someone in authority.". Am I doing something wrong, when I am being tolerant and listening and polite? Please tell me. I do not wish to argue with my parents, and I never mean to. But they think that everything they do is right, and I'm always wrong. What should I do? They scare me everytime I want to voice something because I'm scared of their yelling at me for no reason.

Question: Is this fair?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 10:29 AM PDT

My family lives in a 3 bedroom apartment with 6 people soon to be 7. We aren't that financially stable. I'm 14 and I share a room with my 18 year old sister who is pregnant. My oldest brother who is 25 has changed our kitchen seating area into a little bed room for him. My brother who is 11 has his own bedroom and my parents share a room. My sister who is pregnant is expecting any day now and when the baby comes he will be sleeping in my room. All of his stuff takes up a lot of room. We have to cram a twin bed, a queen bed, and a baby bed all in one room. We also have to fit our dressers and vanity as well as new bins for the baby. She won't be moving out anytime soon. I hate it here so much. I long for my own bed room and for a real house. I can't invite friends over because it is embrassing. We can't get any benefits from the government either because we are considered middle class. My mom is a manager at Kohl's and my dad is a social security officer. My brother works at McDonald's but he doesn't pay for anything or help out at all here. He spends his money on drugs. And my sister works at kohls and cannot support her baby neither can her bf. My mom pays for my brothers phone bill too. And she also payed for all of the baby's stuff. And most if not all of their money goes to the apartments monthly bills.

Question: My parents already plan on buying me a car, how to convince them not to?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 10:08 AM PDT

I'm 20 years old, male, and quite honestly, certain things in life I need help with, only because I don't know any better and I'm learning as I grow into adulthood, but I prefer independence. My parents are convincing me they'll buy me a car, though I didn't agree. Both of my parents already have helped my sister buy their cars, and they're both older than me. I'm the youngest, and only son. Even though, I want a bit of an expensive car that is no more than $8,000, but I still don't want my parents, or anybody for that matter helping me. When getting my license, my parents weren't very supportive of it. In fact, they never gave me permission to get my license, until they found out I was driving a friend's car around the lot, who was filming me drive. Getting my license was quite difficult, because even though I worked to pay everything, my parents were telling me I was too young, (I was in my late teens) and didn't give me permission to learn. One reason I don't want them to buy me a car, is because, whatever I own, I want it to only involve me. A car, I don't want my parents driving my car. I will be paying for all of it. Insurance, gas, maintenance (my cousin is a mechanic). Another reason is, my parents don't realize this, but, I want a bit of separation or independency from them. I'm treated like a kid already because I'm the youngest. I want to grow up and live my own independent life. I don't want to be given everything, but rather be responsible for myself. @Happy Gramps, I have been learning about cars way back when I was in high school. Learning about cars on Edmunds, youtube, reading about people's experience with cars, you name it. And the most I would probably be spending on a car is $6000 anyways. Maybe less, but that's about an average. But I don't want to involve my parents with getting a car. My cousins are mechanics, so I know I'm in good hands.

Question: Should I move out of my parents house???

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 10:00 AM PDT

I'm a 22 year old college student who lives with his parents. My mother has a business and I work for her and have been doing so for the past 4 years. Its gotten to the point where i feel emotionally drained because me and my mother fight so much. My father takes her side on every fight we have and she doesn't even even have reason to win certain arguments. My parents are the type of parents that give me everything, and i'm thankful for that, but emotionally they aren't they for me one bit and I've brought this to their attention before. They make fun of me, they put me down and say I'll amount to nothing. They also treat me like i'm 13. They don't let me have a social life, they look at all my bank statements/ credit card bills and question every singe charge. Problem is there's something that won't allow me just to leave my mother hanging job wise. I am pretty much the head of the business. Without me this thing wont float, she incapable of doing the simplest of things. So I feel stuck, I am emotionally and verbally abused and if I try to have an opinion or try justify myself I am punished. I feel depressed and sad all the time because this is emotionally draining for me. What should I do?

Question: Am I being to strict with my ex husbands family and with him?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 09:15 AM PDT

I believe his mother was a big part of why we lasted for so long. she would always call me and tried to be the one to convince me to talk to him again. Thats her personality, she is the back bone to her family...she resolves all their problems and even when her kids are doing something thing wrong she is there to cover up for them. Forexample,she allowed them to drop out of school and she paid for their GED and made someone else complete the work for them.She has them living in her house and doesn't require them to pay any bills, when they go on vacation she pays for everything, they ask and they receive. You cannot imagine how much that bothers me, I promised myself that I will never be like that with my son. Well now she is doing everything for her son as playing his role as a parent...from picking him up from school, taking him to sport events, she buys his clothes , she spoils him tremendously with toys (mind you i don't want my son growing up the same way as his dad), when the baby is over at their house I have to speak to her because the father never knows anything. I need some advice

Question: What Do I Do?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 09:06 AM PDT

I'm not sure what to do. I live with my mom and her bf, his two young kids r very annoying. Cause me a lot of trouble when I'm trying to get homework done. The bf financially leeches off of my mom and hardly pays or does anything around the house. He doesn't even have a job. He is very mean to me, and cusses and shouts at me a lot, and gets in the middle of my mother and I's conversations. My mom and I are fighting a lot. She only stares at me when I attempt to talk about my feelings to her, and always takes her bfs side. I rarely see my dad, he used to be VERY physically & verbally abusive to me. Then, a few months ago (August 2nd), I got raped and lied about being a virgin to the police, it's been tearing my family apart. Both my parents hate me and don't trust me at all now. I'm not allowed to have a phone, hang out w/ anyone, earn a drivers license, get a job, or go on walks. I'm getting sexually harassed at school and a big group of girls is always mean to me. I've been depressed and my suicidal tendencies are reaching an all time high. I'm 16 now. I want to move out but I have nowhere to go. On top of this, I had my first real "love" (not sure if people in high school can really fall in love), and he left me and is with another girl now and it's killing me. Please help I'm so lonely and sad and I wish I could die. I don't know how to help myself and I just needed to vent I have no one to talk to. Please help... I'm having a lot of panic attacks and anxiety, and I feel like I've become exceedingly paranoid. My father and I fight a lot too, he is very mad and wants me to apologize to him for pretty much everything I've done wrong in the past four years. He wants me to apologize to his gf too, and I refuse to because they are both cheaters and she's a gold digger. I've tried to make amends in the past, but things never stay fixed.

Question: I'm depressed and my parents don't believe me. What do I do?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 08:04 AM PDT

I'm 14, and I've been depressed for a year now and no matter how hard I try to be happy I just can't and I just want to die. I asked my dad if I could see a therapist, and just said "Why? Are you a lesbian?" Wtf!! I want professional help because I'm DEPRESSED. I told him that and then he said that I didn't need one and that as long as I know my purpose here and pray then I'm fine. I'm not okay. I'm so tired of never being good enough for my dad. When I'm doing homework and I take just a 5 minute break, I'm suddenly a terrible person to my parents because I'm not devoting my life to it. And I haven't slept in days because my anxiety keeps me awake, and I study for hours every night to make sure I get the perfect grade. If I get a 99, my dad won't be proud of me he'll just wonder why I didn't get a 100. so my da wanted me to join a bunch of clubs so I can get into the best college. I joined theater, culinary, and fashion but he's still mad at me. He can't accept that I'm not perfect. And my mom can't get me therapy because it's too expensive and she's struggling with money.

Question: Am I the only one that never looks forward to school breaks?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 08:01 AM PDT

So this is my problem. I'm 15, My family never like to take vacations or travel anywhere, literally anywhere. My parents never do anything with me because they have no desire to. I haven't even left my own state my whole life, no joke. I get so jealous when I see people on Facebook taking exotic vacations and I'm home bored as can be. I get so bored at home that when I'm on a break I count down the days till I get to go back to school. School is much more fun to me than break. And when I know a break is coming I dread it, while most of my fellow students are excited. I wish school had no breaks whatsoever. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Question: How to kindly tell my mom to go **** herself?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 07:52 AM PDT

My mom forces me to go to this 10 hour function every Saturday and I've told her before that I don't want to go but she yells and throws stuff at me. I just want my Saturdays back but I don't know how to get her to listen to me and let me stop going without her getting angry.

Question: My dad won’t give me an allowance?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 07:40 AM PDT

My dad used to give me $10 a week to keep my room and bathroom clean and do about and hour of yard work every weekend and help my mom clean around the house which takes about 2 hours a week. He used to also give me $15 of lunch money for school. He recently stopped my allowance because "my room is not clean enough" and he will now give me my lunch money through check. I would bring a snack from home for lunch so I can save the money he gives me. I pay for all of my clothes, art supplies and most of the time, anything that school requires me to pay for such as homecoming tickets and dresses and shoes and such. I also pay for anything that I do with my friends. Now that my allowance has stopped I thought that he would be more willing to pay for stuff, but he hasn't. We were at the art store recently today and my mother was buying some yarn. I asked for my dad to buy a frame and he replied with "save your money" The frame was only $8 and he refused to buy it for me. The last time he bought me anything was a necklace, and it was a birthday gift so that doesn't even count. This is the only income that I have and it's not like I ask for much.

Question: Mature sex question?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 05:30 AM PDT

My crush sent me a meme saying this A guy's code talk What are you doing?= You want to have sex Where are you?= Are you close by so we can have sex Are you sleeping?= Is it too late for sex She then said "i saw this and this is you". I replied with I do want to have sex with you and she said "lmao". Moral of the story is can this girl want to have sex/hinting???? I didn't even touch anything about sex she did it herself....

Question: I have four kids, I'm not married although I'm currently dating my children's father. They're my Only family and I literally have one friend?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 05:11 AM PDT

On holidays my children's fathers family are the only ones we visit. I have no contact with my family and my Facebook "friends" are only friends to be nice. Is it possible to live in this world and be happy when no one cares about me?

Question: His mom and sister usually send me a birthday card every year. This year they didn't, so I be concerned?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 05:05 AM PDT

Question: Why does my mum hate me?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:42 AM PDT

I think this has been going on for about a year now, but my mum absolutely hates me and I've been pushed into hating her. I know people say 'you can't hate your family' or whatever but I really do. She does give a **** about me or my personal space, consistently calls me a '******* *****' And whenever I do the smallest thing wrong, she'll scream at me and then proceed to ***** about me to the rest of my family whilst I sit in my room crying. I was on holiday a few weeks ago and my older sister took me to stay in her room with her after my mum threatened to hit me, I really want to stick up for myself but I'm scared to. She has hit me before but not so hard that it hurts that much. Also I have self harmed before because of the fact that no one at School likes me and neither does my own family; the only one who cares is my sister and she lives 5 hours away with her husband, and they're starting up their own life. My life just feels **** and I honestly don't see the point of it and I know that I have depression and anxiety but I can't get help because I can't talk to anyone: my 'friends' are only interested when I'm upset for the gossip and my family just slag me off to eachother. I'm honestly sick of all this and I just want it all to stop. Can anyone suggest anything that'll help in the slightest before I go insane? [I m 14 and I'm a girl]

Question: My uncle is an alcoholic. Should I expect him to be wasted at his daughter's wedding next weekend?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:37 AM PDT

He claimed to be getting help after a stint at rehab and then my Mom saw him in June when he was back and he was wasted. I haven't seen him since last Christmas.

Question: I'm 15 years old I get verbally abused at home by my parents and brother. I can't cope I want to die I can't talk to anyone. What do I do.?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:22 AM PDT

Question: I have to drive my toxic sister to a funeral today. What do we talk about when neither of us likes the other?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:20 AM PDT

She is 22 and a narcissist and I am 35 and sensitive. I am stuck driving her to my uncle's funeral since my Mom went last night. It is a one hour drive. Hopefully my Mom will drive her back. She is 22 going on seven in maturity.

Question: My Dad sees the worst in fat people. Is this discriminatory?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:18 AM PDT

Question: What are good books on adults overcoming the effects of parental alienation syndrome?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 04:10 AM PDT

As a kid my parents divorced and my Mom did all she could to alienate me from my Dad. She told me things about him that may have been her perceptions but were false and thus lies. It was not an extreme case like convincing me he'd raped me or anything like that, but it was banning me from seeing him. He did not fight her over it until I was 14 and so I saw this as evidence of her comments of "he doesn't love you or he'd fight to see you". Overtime she convinced me he was so bad that when he did call to see me I'd fake to be sick cause I was scared of being with him. She told me he loved his new wife and new kid and chose not to have a relationship with us (me). At age 15 I got close to him much to my Mom's resentment. He did start fighting to see me. However, ever since, 20 years later, I still have a fear of losing him again. He has now died but I keep up with his widow and college aged kids. I fear losing them to rejection. I also feel great joy when seeing them whereas my Mom and her family I love but don't get the large pride when with. I feel devastated when I don't get to see my Dad's family for a holiday like Christmas since it brings back all the shame of the years it was just me and my Mom's family as a kid. So what are good books or resources at overcoming the shame of parental alienation syndrome as the child of it?

Question: I am going to a wedding with my Mom today. It is just the two of us. How do I divert the topic when she starts her hate speech about my Dad?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 03:54 AM PDT

She is still determined, even though I am now 27, to convince me that my Dad never loved me because he mistreated her. She resents that I have a relationship with him now. I see questions about Moms (or a Mom) like this all the time on here so thought I'd ask. Her comments are stuff like "is he taking advantage of you for favors" or "I think he is cheating on your step-mother" or "Your step-mother only loves you to impress him" or "why do you have to see him when he has never loved you even if he likes you". She also goes into things other gossips have told her about him. She has an idiot accountant that likes to lie to her about him cause he has him mixed up with a 2nd cousin of his. I generally avoid my Mom when I can cause of this but she is still my Mom. As a result I am going with her to her nieces wedding today and staying overnight with her at my late grandparents old farm. It's the first quality time I have spent with my Mom since last Christmas Eve though I've seen her two other times, so I want it to be pleasant and not have us fight. I am single so it will just be me and her. My step-father and half-siblings will not be with us.

Question: My friends mom threatens me a lot. What should I do ?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 02:58 AM PDT

Long story short, I just turned 17 but throughout the past year I've dealt with substance abuse. My neighbors daughter (age 15) came over for a barbecue and went through my room. She found Xanax in my pocket and had taken enough to the point where she ended up in the hospital. I felt too guilty and had confessed to her dad. Her dad really liked me he forgave me almost instantly but her mom on the other hand.... She threatens me so many times since it's happened and it's been almost a year. She heard me in the background of a phone call once and said she was walking to the house to beat the **** out of me. What makes it worse is that she's on heroin. Crazy lady.

Question: How would you react when your teenage daughter burst into tears in front of you?

Posted: 14 Oct 2017 01:57 AM PDT

Question: My parents don't care if I was an emo "which I am" but they keep thinking I'm just sad and tell me to stop. Seriously? Why does that happen?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 11:07 PM PDT

Also I cut myself with keys Infront of my parents and they still think it's just be acting a little sad. I don't understand. I know they don't care because my parents said they didn't care what I was and they would still love me no matter what. Maybe it was just a lie like all the other times they say **** like that.

Question: Did i do the right thing ?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 10:25 PM PDT

As a son, i think i did the right thing. Everytime my mom and dad had a fight, i was there to help. My mom and dad had major fights, and i was always there to help resolve or break it up. Police been to our house many times and i was always there. My mom was at the hospital, with an emergency, i was always there. My BROTHER and SISTER were never there. I remember sitting up in the hospital by MYSELF, worried about my mom and they were not there. THe fights, forget it, they were gone. Never helped and it got violent alot of times. I think my Dad would have really hurt my mom if i wasnt there. THey would hang up the phone on my mom many times. I told them off, basically saying you have never been there, i have been there EVERY TIME. Shut up. They want to talk to me like im a piece of trash, i told them you better look at yourself in the mirror.

Question: Should I reach out to my half brother and sister that I ve never met?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:39 PM PDT

here s a little bit of background info. I m 20 years old and I live in Boston. I recently moved back to Boston from Myrtle Beach South Carolina where I was living for about five years. My father ran out on my and my mom and I when I was very young probably about a year old. He was very bad on drugs and in and out of prison. He was a horrible person womanizer and user etc etc. I always knew that I had siblings but I never knew their names and never had the means to reach out to them. Today while talking with my aunt (my fathers sister) she informs me about my two older siblings that live in New Hampshire about an hour away. She tells me that my older brother is 28 and my older sister is 30. She told me how they don t want anything to do with my father and I feel the same way. I was much better off without him and so were they. They obviously don t like him and neither do I. Anyways I got my sisters name from my aunt and I decided to look her up on Facebook. I found her profile and I ve been debating on if I should reach out to her and if I did what I would even say. I joined the navy recently and leave for basic training in march. I figured it would be nice to connect with them before I leave for a while. Im very back and forth as to what I should do in this situation. Idk why but I think it would be awesome to meet them and hopefully get to know them and have a relationship with my brother and sister

Question: I'm a 15 y/o girl and my bro is 36 and my legal guardian. He said I have been disrespectful brat and took my phone away. What should I do?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:35 PM PDT

Yes he pays for the phone but I got it for Christmas so it's MY phone. I have been ignoring him. I literally am respectful so I don't know what to do. Is it ABUSE to take someone's phone away for no reason?? ( I'm on my house computer)

Question: Am I asking my son to pay too much in rent?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:29 PM PDT

My son recently graduated from college and has a job making decent money. He still lives at home right now. I have told him that he needs to start paying rent to live here. We originally agreed $200 a month was acceptable, but now I feel like I am owed more. I told him that he needs to pay $500 a month to live here. He said that I was being ridiculous for asking $500 a month. He has even threatened to leave if I force him to pay $500 a month. I know if he lives on his own rent will be much more than $500 a month. Am I asking to much of him?

Question: Is it normal to feel old at 15?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:17 PM PDT

I started feeling old at 14 or so. And I'm beginning to feel like a middle aged adult at 15 for some reason. I don't do anything particularly "grown". I don't have anything going on that's making me feel this way.

Question: Is this stalking or creepy my wife claims it is and is furious with me. I looked up an insurance agent on Facebook.?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:16 PM PDT

I put in a request for a quote for umbrella insurance for a business. I had been dealing with the same company for a few years and spoke with all there agents (Male). Then the other day when getting this quote a female agent I never met (different state across America) was handling this quote. She was very affable like everyone else with the agency and at first peaked no real interest but at 12am i received the quote 9am there time by email and then received a text that it was there and to call anytime so I told her she was very diligent and asked a couple questions by text. I did look her up on Facebook that night. Bad behavior? I know there might be opinions either way so this is more or less a consensus and to gather opinions from opposing points of view. I understand someone will bring up the point what if she looked at someone's profile in a similar situation how would I take it. Well I don't know she loves in a nutshell and even if not I don't think I would mind more than me rolling my eyes. Was it necessary for what I was doing no but I was curious.

Question: Would an adult be a pedophile if they are attracted to teenagers?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 08:00 PM PDT

If the person is in their 40's and is attracted to 13-17 year olds, would it be pedophilia? If they are doing something inappropriate, I'd call them a sex offender. Pedophile means attraction to children who haven't reached puberty yet, but people seem to misinterpret the word. On the other hand, it is never okay and teenagers are considered kids. They're still minors.

Question: What to do when your grandmother drives you crazy?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 07:59 PM PDT

My mom's mom is a missionary who just retired from being in Africa and now she's moved in with us. She bought the house we live in so that she would have somewhere to stay, but we have lived in it for a couple years before she came. Anyways - she has now been living with us for a couple months and has basically shoved me out of my bathroom completely. I don't really ever use it anymore because I can't, she's always in there, even if I get up super early she's in there doing her morning routines of all sorts of things, I don't even know. And she always says "well that's MY bathroom" but what about me, don't I get a bathroom too? And it seems like she's just disrupted my family's life, we have been kind of going off the deep end anyways but now my dad and me are totally stressed with her living with us because she is so picky and she doesn't realize about certain things being a problem, like you can't get through to her, and she gets upset at you over little things. She also gets to sit in the front seat of the car and I have to sit in the back now which I don't think is very practical especially because I'm the one who likes to have the air, she doesn't, she gets so cold, so I have to sit in the back and be hot because "it's too cold". I know I'm complaining but I honestly do not like her, because she isn't .. normal, and she's actually not that nice, and she's not like a grandma should be, I don't think. What do I do? Sometimes I just want to say I don't like her :(

Question: What Should I do?

They said I can have a cheap basic phone but *** that **** I dont want that. I want a good quality apple phone and i have the money for it. I feel like im working for nothing and it's so annoying. What should I do??

Question: What causes a person to be SUPER selfish?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 07:18 PM PDT

Everyone is selfish a little bit, but then there are people who harm others they are jealous of and can't bear to see anyone succeed. Personally I get jealous, but if the person I know is nice then later the jealousy would leave. I would genuinely be happy for their happiness. But what causes some people to wish harm on others?

Question: Would it be rude not invite sister in law to our baby shower?!?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 06:40 PM PDT

So my best friend recently became my sister in law and is pregnant as well. However the last few months has been really rocky for us. I feel that she's become very selfish and inconsiderate. I feel that it has come to the point that If we weren't sister in laws, We really wouldn't be friends anymore. Her husband (my husbands brother) has also been disrespectful to me as well. My husband and I have tried to set boundaries and expectations on how we should treat each other however it's not being followed and now I'm really wanting to cut them off but it's hard because they are family. Anyways we are having a baby shower for our second baby and I really don't want them there but I feel I have to invite them. Any thoughts on what I should do? The last time I saw them, my brother in law was upset with us over something ridiculous and told us not to ask for **** anymore which we never really did but still! There's a lot of tension right now! Really don't know what to do!

Question: Dealing with mother-in-law feelings.?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 06:22 PM PDT

Hello, I call her my mother-in-law because I plan to marry her son one day. I really love him. He treats me better than anyone I've ever had before. He's my soulmate and I want to make it work through anything, the problem is that I have feelings of dread around his parents cuz they're a tad overbearing. Like his dad says rude innapropriate things to me which upset me, and his mom is pushy. She tries to push me to do things all the time like what to do with my life, my career, her son and my ideas. I usually deal with it by pacing myself on how long I go without seeing them so when I do see them, I have energy to not act like i dread it. So pretty much, I'm gonna hang out with his mom soon. Any advice to improve my feelings towards the situation? Techniques to make things better? Thank you! I appreciate it

Question: Is it bad to dislike someone who is married to your mom ? My mom thinks I don’t like her because I dislike her husband...?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 05:40 PM PDT

I'm 19 almost 20 and I have known my stepdad since I was 6. When I was 7 my mom moved in with him and took my brother and I along. At one point I in a way thought he was a good cool guy but once he started to live in the same house he just showed a different side of himself.he also tried to hard for my brother and I to like him because in a way he would force us to give a hug and kiss on the cheek and that was uncomfortable. Also back in the day he would have small arguments with us , I mean who does that like we were little kids compared to him he was in his 20s almost 30s. Growing up things got a little more difficult and to this day I wish I never met him . Most people on my moms family don't like him. My brother he has a awkward relationship with him , they talk but in a way it's like they have to. For me I never really had a formal conversation with him. It's crazy that I've known him for more than 10 years and there are people that I've only known for a year and I already warmed up to them. My stepdad got on my bad side cause I'm a nice person and I will help anyone. But I can't stand him. I feel like he wants to be on my bad side cause he always does the same crap that annoys me.

Question: Should I get my 15 year old some therapy?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 05:37 PM PDT

My 15 year old hung around with girls who are harassing and bullying others. I even got a phone call from school informing me that these girls started cyber bullying someone online. My daughter knew but she didn't stick up for that person. They were harassing someone a few years older than themselves. These girls apparently showed up at that young lady's workplace as well. We agreed, as parents, that it's time she stops being around them. She is facing some consequences for not speaking up sooner and I'm not sure about therapy. She appears upset, but it could only be because we restrict her from seeing these "friends" who have pressured her more than enough. I'm worried about emotional damage and what they might've tried getting her to do that she didn't tell us about.

Question: If you become a single mother, will the government give you money?

Aren't there more benefits to being a single mother than just a single woman? Like more programs to help with rent and other financial stuff?

Question: How can I convince my dad and step mom to allow me to get a labret piercing for my 15th birthday that's coming up?

Question: I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. How do I get my mother to stop labeling anything I do as "obsessive" (I am 31)?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 05:06 PM PDT

I am an adult living on my own. My parents really mean well. However, I have OCD and it is mainly about relationships. My parents are divorced and my Mom kept me from my Dad when she could when I was growing up. This was meant to protect me from his drinking and allow both sides to be apart but it caused me great shame that I didn't see my Dad when his kids from his previous marriage did. My Mom would tell me things like "he doesn't love you or he wouldn't drink". So when I got to be 16 I started seeing him again through my paternal grandmother. I saw he was much better then my Mom described him and I got close to him. Yet, I am OCD and so I began obsessing I'd lose him again. I began doing extreme outreach to him like at age 20 driving 34 miles to see him at the same grocery store and act like it was a coincidence. By age 25 I got under control. I am 31 now and my Dad died last year. However, he has family I like to keep in touch with and sometimes I fear losing them like I lost him from ages 7 to 16. Anything I do for my half-siblings my mother labels an "obsession". She does the same if I see my Dad's extended family or my Mom's brother who she is estranged from and his kids. I admit I do obsess about family relationships and it is my main obsession along with magic number obsessions. However. I don't know how to handle this notion my Mom has that if I see an enemy of hers it is an obsession. She lives to this "obsession" label I have. Recently the father-in-law of my uncle that my Mom is estranged from died. I went to the funeral and my Mom kept saying "you had to go didn't you" with emphasis on the word HAD. She also got my grandmother (her mother) convinced I had a compulsion to go. Yet, me going had no compulsive part at all. I dread Christmas each year cause this comes up and I am about 10% compulsive and 90% genuine. Sometimes I think she is protecting me as her only child and other times I think she is just using me as a pawn against her enemies. She has a bias against alcoholics cause her Dad was one (as is her brother).

Question: My sister is so mean, how do I get her to stop abusing me?

Posted: 13 Oct 2017 04:59 PM PDT

She bullies me if I even open my mouth. She is mean to everyone else around also.
