I am 15 years old and my mom is very strict on me. While all my friends play video games at least 20 hours a week, I get to only play for a maxium of 90 minutes a week. I get jeloaus of all my friends because they talk about funny moments when they play and I don t understand what they are talking about. She wants me to get better grades in school, but I ended up with a 97 average for the qauter. She also doesn t let me relax. Monday-Friday I am loaded with hw and my mom makes me study each subject I take. Then Satureday, I have to study all of my subjects for 90 minutes each. Then on Sunday, I am forced to study for my state tests. Also she took away my phone because of my siblings you also have to endure all of this. So during school I am bored as hell and I cant enjoy. How should i tell my mom to let me play more videogames and have more fun.

After watching a few movies my friends and I have came to the conclusion that it sounds much more fun half a century ago than in the 21st century. Nobody seems to socialise like they used to is what my older family members say. Watcha think?

I'm a young mom who has been raising single-handedly a toddler who's trying 3 yrs old in June.That's not the issue though. The issue is that family members are asking me when I'm getting back with my child's father. I broke up with my child's father for reasons of drug abuse and violence; and that was when I was 4 months pregnant. I haven't from the guy since then. So how do I explain to them that not only do I not want the father to have any part in my child's life, but neither does the father. I understand the importance of having both parents in a child's life, but I don't want to raising a grown man alongside a toddler.

Statistically, kids with siblings are more violent (especially in abusive homes). The oldest showed more bullying, while the younger ones were more likely to end up in jail. There was an article showing that only children were even happier in some cases. While there's always exceptions and environmental factors, in general, why would children with no siblings be more well-raised and do not engage in risky behaviour?

My dad bought me a new motorcycle. The Harley that I always loved and have picture of in my bedroom. I just want to post the picture on social media, but what to write in the caption thanking my dad that's not too cliche

The last time i saw my Biological dad was in 2007. I was 5 years old and my mom dropped me off at his house. But around 2002/2003 my mom and dad broke up and my mom was in college so my grandma took care of me cause I was a baby. he was introducing me to his family but I was acting shy cause I didnt know any of these people. So he took me to the store trying to explain he was my dad and i had other brothers. . So he was suppose to pick me up in 2008 to spend the week with him and my mom made up a lie and my dad cussed her out really bad. But my real dad cussed my mom out on facebook in 2013 and her sister which was embarrassing so my grandma got upset and didn't let him see me at all. And they think i think my Stepdad is my dad but i know he not. And i hate him so much cause hes not my dad and hes soo mean to me. Now its 2018 im 16 yrs old and havent seen my real dad in 11 years. I texted him on Facebook a few months ago he called my phone like 8 times and wrote a whole paragraph saying he loved me and he missed me so i called him and we talked for like a hour and he was basically saying he always wanted to be in my life but they wouldnt let him. So we are supposed to be seeimg each other this summer when I go to my grandmas house. Im gonna walk to a near by store and meet up with him and its gonna be between him and me. Nobody else knows cause theyll get mad and keep me from doing that But I dont know what to expect. What do you guys think is the best thing to do?

It's none of anyone's business besides their own.

And how long do they usually need for the DNS test? Futher I want to be in residence while the test. Is it allowed?

Ok so me,my little sister, my dad and Grandma love our 4 horses and 3 donkeys, we keep them in a yard on our property, we always had them but my mum never wanted to get near them or help out with them, she doesn't want to sell them or anything, which is good, I just wanted to ask how can I make her feel comfortable around them ?

Around the fall of 2015 I mailed my mom's house insurance bill to my brother living 5 hours away. My brother will tell my mom if she needs money to let her know. I asked about the insurance and they said it was cancelled back in 2015. My mother passed away in the spring of 2016. I am now living in her house with a mentally ill brother. My brother that lives away doesn't tell me much about his life or what he earns. Is my brother not paying the house insurance or does he more than likely have it with a company?

I opened the front door on these two kids on the porch asking to shovel the snow for money and now my dad is going to be mad at me because I opened the front door without checking who it is??? And I didn't check who it is in the front ??? HELP HE IS GOING TO HE POSSED AT ME !!!!

me.WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?

Some days, i feel so worthless that just getting out of bed seems to be impossible. My dad doesnt care and usually provokes the situation. My sister has cancer and I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for many years. We have asked our consultant for help. We do not know what the future holds. Are we doing the right thing. please can you help.

I'm 14,and the school called ACS on my mom because of a small cut,that wasnt even deep,on my face.I got it from opening a cabinet and it hit me really hard. They told my mom it need stitches and made her think it was a bad cut.The next day, I still didn't go to the hospital , so they called ACS and talked to them RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. The school told them that my mom refused treatment and blah blah. I have had a few emotional outbursts in school and I am very quiet. I also share a lot of personal information about my past life to my guidance counselor, I'm afraid he might share it with ACS. The school then mentioned my living situation to ACS (I'm living with my grandparents because they live in NYC and I go to school there).And they started talking about my grades and behavior, ect.They kept pushing it. My school told me"well this is a very well acted out story because you're telling everyone the same thing" BECAUSE ITS THE TRUTH. They kept pressuring me and asking me questions and we're making me upset. They let me go home because my mom begged them to let me go so she can finally get the cut checked out. When we got to the doctor. SHE LAUGHED. it didn't need stitches or anything. Everyone in the hospital were telling me how ridiculous my school is for doing this. At almost midnight that day they called my mom and grandfather repeatedly. When my mom answered to ACS they asked for a picture of the cut and a picture of the paperwork from the doctor FOR A SMALL CUT.

If I come home from work and explain problems with co workers he tends to just not make me feel I get his support he makes me look at their side he always says well in defense of so and so. My mom died a month ago I have issues with my family dealing with estate he always says well in defense of my brother or in defense of this or that but he never just hears my side of things and acknowledge how I may feel. It makes me feel like I don't have support in many ways. He never says well if I were you I'd do this or that. 3 weeks after my mom died my brother called to discuss things the call came at dinner and boyfriend cooked dinner the call lasted over an hour but I felt like I couldn't say can you call me back after the call he was mad because he ate without me and told me how it's simple you tell your brother your about to eat and you will call back. I feel not supported with that comment . I would totally see his view if it was several months or year after moms death but I felt dinner could wait. How do I tell him how I feel. Please help me to approach him I need support

I am a female in high school and I tend to always be attracted to female teachers. NOT IN A SEXUAL WAY. More like a motherly-daughter way. The thing is, I love my mother. She is awesome and is the best mother I could ever have. For some reason, I crave intimacy and love from people outside my family line. I have this notion that my family has to love me because of morals (of course I know that this is not true, but in my house it is because my parents do love me). So, because of this, I crave acceptance and affection from people who are older than me (specifically teachers) outside my family tree. I always want their attention, feel warm when they pat my back, and constantly want to just hug them. I love my family and they are amazing, but I have this craving for intimacy from teachers when I feel I shouldn't. I don't get along with my peers, I get along with people older than me, so that's why I go after teachers (because I see them on a daily basis and form an emotional bond). My question is: 1. Is this normal to feel this way? 2. Should I allow myself to enjoy the affection when I get it? 3. How do I fulfill this need? 4. Am I alone in this feeling?

Does any of you guys or women have any experience of moving out of your parents house and staying in a hotel in another city for a extended amount of time until you got on your feet. I'm curious because i want to move so bad because every since I moved to this new town with only my mom, stepdad, and brother, it's been hell without family here because I can never save or have anything I work for to myself. I would move into my own home where my grandparents stay but that's even worse. By the way I'm only 20.

My mom was the victim of a date. The social worker said I'll be removed for a few weeks/months since he is a danger and my mom needs recover. I miss my mom and all I can think of is her. I wonder how she is. I'm at a temporary new school and everything is strange. Everyone around me is nice though I'm an unnoticed new student. I never thought I'd be in this position. All I was told was that foster care was for kids who have abusive families, orphans whose parents recently died but no relative steps in. I'm not any of those. But they still determined that this is the best.

Children hear them swear a lot while watching them at as young as 5. Some people encourage dangerous challenges like with tide pods. There is violence on some videos. Although YouTube has some USEFUL stuff (teaching how to apply makeup, get good grades, anti-bullying, how to make something out of wood), there's also lots of bad things. A lot of children seem attracted to the negative side of it. YouTubers often play kids/teenagers games and although they're age appropriate, the language is sexually explicit.

I know I've asked for help about this topic so much, but I feel a mess. my mom explained to me how that life does not go by in just a second. Life has seconds that turn into minutes and minutes turn into an hour. Hours, days, weeks, months, years. I just don't live with my mom and I miss her. And my brother and I visit her once a week for two hours and that's not enough but he doesn't wanna go more than once a week. I don't want to look back at my life and see that I have barely any memories of my mom for my teenage years. And I just can't imagine my life 10 years from now when my mom is 63 and old Sometimes it feels that if I don't have my mom right here with me, or in the future, then life isn't worth living. I know it is because my mom lost her dad, and she lives for her children

30 year old living with family. Dad has said very hateful things. I feel the damage is done. On Christmas he said he love me, but i don't believe that. As i get treated with hate. He only cares for my sister who is 35 with kid. My dad has always cared about my sister. Sister doesn't care about me either, despite i have done things for her. I'm not perfect but why would a dad hate his son. I am generally a kind person, but i get upset when people misjudge me. The goal is to obviously move out, cause as long as i am living with parents nothing good can come of it. My mom always take my dad side, and they don't even sleep in the same bed. He was sleeping on the couch, and he also let family at a point and i just don't trust him. If i speak up for myself i'm the bad person. I generally stay in my room with ear phones on. Already feel hated and deal with anxiety and depression. I am blamed for everything. If happy, nobody cares, if sad or depressed i am blamed for that. Starting a new job, just got to make it through the weekend. I need to be happy and focus for work. How to live in this hateful world? is suicide my best option?

2-9-18 Me and my dad were making brownies and after we got done mix it all in I try to lick he got mad cause I was doing over the bowl and I didn't know what he meant when he said to do something with I didn't know if he meant to like some of it off over the bowl than go to the sink or what so he yelled at me and I got upset so I walked off and he said get pissed off now get ur *** back in here and finish the brownies but I didn't I went into my room to calm down, and my mom heard me hitting something and my dad came back. here and said stop hitting what ever your hitting and stop crying like a baby. damn ******* *** whole just walked by and didn't even ******* apologize

i am asking this because my parents say i am. The thing is my little brother like to use stuff and to me it seems hes over using it. The reason i say this is that whenever i tell him to do something like the dishes this kid will open up the faucet on full blast on hot water the whole time until hes done. He will may be turn it off once or twice. Another thing is he like washing his hands and using paper towel. One time he washed his hands in the bathroom and dried it with a paper towel and then he immediately went to the kitchen and did the same thing, he wasnt about to eat or anything he just did it. Another scenario is whenever he goes and takes a shower he will take about twice the amount of time. I didnt have a timer set but you can just tell. And when he comes out of the shower theirs an extraordinary amount of fog on the window. lastly if touches like a kitchen rag even if its clean for like whatever reason he will immediately go wash his hands with lots of soap and water. I have told my parents and they were like you are being too controlling, or we will talk to him. I have talked to him about it and he says ok or i will stop. Am i too controlling or what? i am literally just about to give up and just let it be

Basically my son was born and raised in London, a few years ago he moved to Belfast to live with his girlfriend from there who he met online and I've noticed there's a lot of loyalist paramilitary stuff on his Facebook and there's rumours that he's a member of the UVF and I've read terrible things about them in the news and such as they're basically like the IRA but on the opposite side, I've tried to convince him to leave his girlfriend and come home to London but he gets angry and tells me he loves her, what would you do in this situation?

So, for those that are ok with illegals being here....if this was your father, brother, uncle he killed, leaving a wife and children behind, if you are ok with this please explain why....

So the other day my bf decided to go visit his mother with the last amount of money we had left which was little. We had run out of oil for heating house that day instead of keeping me &his own son warm we were abandoned and left in a freezing cold house w/single glazed windows. I made sure my son was kept warm at all times by wrapping him up even tho I was freezing .. it wasnt til about 11pm til he got home with oil.. anyway today we finally got the bed we had ordered weeks ago and planned on putting it together this evening.. I was looking after the baby again, we went grocery shopping &didnt get home til a little bit after 8pm.. we still havent had dinner and I started feeding our baby while he went outside to call his mother like he does every single day which I dont mind but we had something to do today and he couldve called her earlier but his excuse was that he was grocery shopping.. anyway at almost 10pm he came back inside & started on the bed then I did babys last feed and put him to bed... it is now 1AM and hes still at the bed???? P.s apparently this year he doesnt feel like abandoning me on valentines day & going to see his mother like he did last yr which is good I guess.

So, somehow I messed up my phones charging and decided to take matters into my own hands. Long story short the little charging tab is all messed up with the little bits out. Also I ve had the phone for about a year now and it is a Samsung S4. So my question is: How would I best tell my parents? Thank you for your help!
