Im aloud to punish her but at this point I have no clue what to do. Most of the time i just let her have what she wants bc she so out of control. How can i deal with her? Plz help

I have 15 year old twins. This teacher thinks I'm not protective enough of ONE girl - specifically because she is more physically developed than her sister. It's inappropriate and uncalled for to talk about a student's body like this IMO. This teacher has also been telling biased things about puberty and development. It makes my kids uncomfortable to hear her criticize about 12 year olds having crushes. This isn't a sex ed class, it's a social studies class. These things are not relevant to the general topics about history.

Around what age do kids start to actually know their age instead of being told their age.

I have been wanting to move for a while now .The main reason being because of my stepfather has always had some sort of hatred for me. Whenever we go to a party and the conversation becomes about thier kids he always jumps to me saying how I'm lazy a slob, a nobody, that he's a failure and will never do anything in his life. When ever I have anything I plan anything he claims I can't do anything because I'm a fu**ING moron. He gone on to talk about his biological kids are all geniuses and how I'm the only screw up all the stuff he says about me constantly put me down I've had several nights where i have had suicidal thoughts and it's all because of him. Hell at one party he asked one of my siblings who are the people he loves most my stepbrother said him and my stepdad said yes you and the other 3 which were my two other siblings and my mother which later that night I found out why he told me why he didn't include me and it was beacuse he abandoned my as his son he didn't see fit enough to be family with him that if he could he would just ditch me here and never come back. I'm not the only one he gets angry about he does this crap to my mother as well if she evens says one nice thing about me he always tries to tell her he's wrong and then it leads to a fight which leads to him breaking something in anger making me hate myself even more beacuse I feel like if it was my fault for all of this. Because of him I can't stand it anymore what should I do?

Would they be distant relatives or does distant relative mean distantly related? I have the same question with my brother who has not seen us in over a year so is not close and is a distant relative but does this mean he is a distant relative or does distant relative only mean distantly related like 4th cousin once removed?

My nephew is graduating and my sister wants to do a party at my home for him because she lives in a small apartment but she wants me to do everything including buying tables and stuff I think she should be responsible for her own kid's Party or not have a party because nephew didn't really get good grades at all and barely passed most of his classes and he may or may not go to community college based if he is accepted or not and it is already March. I told her it would prob be a better idea to rent out a room in a restaurant instead of me moving all my furniture and I have a baby and small kids. Thoughts?

Ever since we were little my little brother and I hated each other. I was 11 and he was 6 at the time (big age difference, I know), but being called fat, stupid, retarded, an idiot, and everything else added up. I was all A s and not overweight at all. I ignored as much as I could and didn t care about constantly being hit by him because it only hurt mentally to know he would hit me, not physically because he was weak. When he bothered me a lot, I would resort to my room to be alone and he would arrive a few minutes later with a paperclip to unlock the door and then run away, just to terrorize me some more. I d lock my door again and go back to whatever I was doing. I d finally become so frustrated that I d chase him away the final time he opened my door, but then I would get in trouble for chasing him and he would just get away with everything he had done to terrorize me. This would go on and on until the end of the day and repeat over and over again. What should i do? Its been 5 years of this every day and its not getting better.

My son, 18, has severe seasonal asthma attacks especially at night. He has convinced himself that by using an inhaler every time he has an asthma attack he is building a tolerance and a dependency. I personally think he's being ridiculous but he has been having a lot of asthma attacks lately and refusing to use the inhaler until he feels like he's going to pass out. He just sits through it and tries to slow his breathing.It has gotten so extreme that he has actually collapsed and was hospitalized twice in the past two weeks due to asthma. He's shrugged it off saying "I'm still learning my limits". Needless to say, I am extremely worried about him especially because we lost a family member to an asthma attack only 2 years ago. As his mother I like to think I can force him to be more responsible, i've had doctors talk to him and explain but he's being stubborn. At this point, I'm at a loss. Can someone please share some advice on what to do and what the risks are to this behavior (aside for death of course). Thanks in advance, A desperate Mom

My sister has been seeing this guy on/off for the past 3 years but they have never been official. They fight about literally everything and cannot get over past drama between them. Neither of them trust the other which has turned into many drunken fights. They also share a friend group but for some reason he never manages to involve her in his social life. They fight 24/7 during the week over the phone and then he will visit over the weekend and they will get drunk and fight some more but then they ll sleep together and the whole cycle begins again. When he comes to visit he is also not willing to do even the smallest of things for her like driving her to get her car even though it s only like a 3 minute drive? He also sits on the couch the entire weekend and refuses to move which always ends up with my sister literally serving him while he basically ignores everything else and watches TV. If this was going on for only a little while I wouldn t be so worried but it has been going for a little less than a year.

we've been together for 3 years. He picked up yelling from his parents and now he yells at me when he's impatient/ over trivial things. I told him that he cant bring the old bad habit from old family to new family. He said he'd try to change but is still yelling at me. When he yells at me it makes me very angry and I can't help but yell back. Vicious cycle. What to do?

I have less mood swings than I did at 12. Maybe I just found more hobbies or I'm able to control my impulses. There's still occasional mood swings and annoyance but it passes by.

My employer being my older brother, after dealing with a series of traumatic experiences my brother (who is also my boss) is demanding that I speak to a therapist in order to continue working. He owns a small building contracting company and I'm pretty much his secretary. Lately, he and our parents have been pushing therapy on on and I'm genuinely not interested. Now, he's threatening to suspend me from work until I "comply". Is any of this legal? What should I do? I'm a 23y/o guy and I can't afford to loose my job right now but I also don't think I need (or am ready) to talk to a shrink. Please advice.

My sister's birthday is the 22nd and I've never truly dealt with her passing or come to terms with my emotions and how this passing really affected me. I have 3 older sisters and a twin brother. My sister was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer 6 years ago and by the time she was diagnosed, 4 months later she passed away. I was 13 at the time. I was extremely close to my sister and loved her and had such a close relationship. I felt like a part of me went when she went. I feel that my siblings and mom are handling it better than I am each year. I feel that I become much more aggressive, moody and tearful. Sadly, this year I was also diagnosed with cancer after having symptoms here and there and extreme bone pain I went to the doctor and she ran some blood tests and scans, which showed I have Multiple Myeloma. A part of me feels so angry that I had this "luxury" of time to find out what was going on with my health and come up with a treatment plan and my sister didn't have that. I feel like I have this survivors guilt and I'm sure my mom feels terrible, but I just don't know how to handle all of this or come to terms with my sister's death and birthday after 6 years. I still in my head remember the day she passed away, the viewing and the viewing and I think that's one of the worst things for me and how she suffered horribly during those 4 months and seeing how my mom was during that time. Has anyone else dealt with this? What are your suggestions?

She actually texted me to say she "didn't succeed to reach me so she decided to do it" -it as in wash my bedding, sheets and all. Then she removed the fruit I had on a plate, put the fruit on the desk and took the plate! I said thanks but in the future do you think it's possible to communicate ahead of time. I'm happy to do the laundry myself so I know that I have privacy in my room rather than not. She got SO scared that I was being confrontational that I got no answer, and when I got home, she and her husband were hiding from me in their room, still awake. Sounds to me like they had sex on my bed, and that's why they washed the bedding. I want to tell them that I don't feel comfortable paying full rent since having my privacy and space invaded was not what I paid for and not on the contract that they would walk in as they please and take my "laundry" without asking. What do you think? Pick my battles and just find another place (which I'll be able to afford in a couple of months, hopefully sooner), or try to save some money from this bullshit experience?

I wish I lived in a household where I can share things with my parents (mostly my mom), and won't get any judgement for it or screaming at me. Every time I try to talk to her or give my opinion about something so small, she will get very defensive, not see my side of the story, or just get upset for no reason. Now, my parents like to track me, I don't really have a problem with it. She tracks me down everywhere I go and wants me to text where I am even though she has the tracking. However, my mom mentioned about me being tracked in college through my phone. Now, I don't really have an issue with this, but I am bothered by one thing. I am 18, and will be when I start college. She wants to get a text every night saying I'm okay and in my dorm. Okay.. I know thats for safety reasons. No problem. But what If i want to go out? I'm worried that if i want to hang out with my girl friends at a club or go to a party past midnight (I am not a partier btw, I just want to experience something people in college do), she is going to track me down, find out I'm not in the dorm at like 11 o clock, and rant to me about how I'm ruining my life etc. My mom was not in a sorority or went to parties in college or hung out late at night (even if its just getting waffles at 2 in the morning). I feel like she can't relate to me because she wants me to have the college experience she had instead of me wanting to start my own life and create some awesome memories. Everyone is different. Thoughts?

My uncle, his wife and two kids were at my grandmother's house today and as they were getting ready to leave. My little cousins who's 7 didn't want to say bye to my other uncle. Her father, in a stern voice, told her to say goodbye. But her mother said she's tired and didn't want to say bye. My grandma got mad and chimed in. So my aunt grabbed her daughter and went to sit in the car. Then, my mom started talking about how I am not affectionate enough toward my grandmother. I always say hello and goodbye, please and thank you. It's important to have manners. However, I feel like I am not shown the same respect. I am 18 and I feel like I am still treated like 5 ur old. Sometimes I try to help my grandma like in the kitchen and such but it's as if she doesn't want my help. She acts like I don't know how to do things such as washing the dishes. Also, sometimes my grandma picks me up from school when I don't have my car. I say thank you when I leave the car without saying bye either. But, she never says you're welcome. She says things like "alright", "mhm", or "ok". I am a young adult so shouldn't I be shown the same respect? It was rude of my cousin to not say bye. And it was even worse of my aunt to give in and l leave. I don't want to talk to her about it but I also feel like she thinks I'm a 5 yr old who doesn't know anything. She shouldn't be setting that kind of example for her young children.

This might be biased/stereotyped. I've heard that sexual behaviours in children as young as 10, especially girls, is linked to single parents. Violence and committing crimes is also said to be linked to this. Statistically, these children are home alone more than children with two parents. Their parents are busier, have less time to parent them. It would kind of make sense if the statistics are unfortunately higher, but has there been PROOF that illegal and inappropriate behaviours occur more in single parent households?

Ever since yesterday my mom all of the sudden got mad at me and the day after she's still making a big deal she's barley talking to anyone in the family and she use to hug me saying I love you and everything but she isn't doing that anymore and today while I'm getting ready for church she isn't going with us and my dad told her to come with him to a dinner with friends she refused I don't know why she's mad and I don't know what we did I feel like she's now being childish a mom isn't suppose to put their kids down and make them depressed

I saw my bf dad smell mine, I don't know how I feel about it. I was like, awe, at first but maybe he is just sick.

I'm 18, I'll be graduating in 2 1/2 months and I'm leaving for basic training in 4 months. I'm not going to get to see much more of my boyfriend (long-ish distance, lives an hour 1/2 away) before I leave. I'd like to stay the night with him and his family on an occasional weekend since the drive is so long but my parents dont approve. Additional details on my parents: My mom has worked night shift most of her life so we dont have much of a relationship, my father is an abusive a**hole who, only a few minutes ago, said I'm no longer aloud to eat any food in this house that he buys. I'd like to go and spend the rest of this weekend with him and his mother but my parents seem to hate everything about me seeing him and staying over. What should I do?

For as long as I can remember, my mom has been emotionally and verbally abusive. In the winter of 2017, my sister and I were both diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. After my mom found my sisters prescription, she demanded to know what the pills were for. We told her it was for depression and my mom says there is no such thing. I have never heard my mom tell us that she is proud of us. All she does it talk about money and how she has no money. She makes us feel very guilty that she has to pay for our things, however she is our mother. If she didn t want to spend money on anyone but herself, she shouldn t have had kids. My sister and I are both in college and we both work to pay for most of our necessities, but when we need help and we reach out to her she gets very angry. For me, I am a biology major and I am required to take a bunch of classes so it gets difficult to balance school and work, however I still try my best and my mom still finds ways to call me stupid, fat, ugly, etc. I still love her and I want things to work out between us, but I am at a point where I just don t know if I can handle it anymore.

I was in London last summer and met this guy in a Korean restaurant and I never got his name unfortunately but we ended up having lots of activities and stuff in common (he is older than me) but I like him as a buddy a friend and we ended up talking for over an hour in the restaurant it is a long story I can't explain a lifelong story on here but I had the time of my life so we ended up fortunately taking pictures together but I had forgotten his name by the time I left the restaurant, what a bummer. However, good news is I tried looking him up on Facebook because he told me some other info about him but I want to double check I have photos I will upload here of him on yahoo answers but I am cropping myself out of the image so the image I will first show is him in the restaurant and the other photo is him in a Facebook profile that I hope is him. I hope I found him on Facebook does the two images look like the same person honestly? I really hope this can be him. Please help me out I hope I found this man I met back in August 2017. https://ibb.co/mBPHrS https://ibb.co/kACW37 https://ibb.co/kz2gJ7 https://ibb.co/gSzTy7

My dad says sometimes that I'd be prettier if I lost weight. I'm not even that big, but I guess I'm not thin enough to be considered pretty. He tells my sister how beautiful she is and stuff, she's really skinny. But other times he tells me that I'm really beautiful too and all these other nice things. He doesn't mean to be mean when he says bad things but it still hurts. I gained about 45 lbs when I was struggling really bad with my bipolar disorder but I'm finally getting the right treatment. And I'm trying to get back down to my original weight but it makes me feel really discouraged and sad when he says that I'm not as pretty now as I could be. I thought fathers were supposed to love you no matter what size you are. He told me that if I lost weight I'd be just as pretty as my sister is. I'm really hurt and sad and I feel like if my own father doesn't think I'm beautiful then that must mean I'm really not. And I don't even care if I'm not beautiful I just really wish to be left alone. I just want to be allowed to live my life but no, i will always be compared to my sister. I've lost weight, but not all of the weight I need to lose to get back to what I was before. I plan on it but it makes it really hard when he says that stuff because it interferes with my mental health and then I tend to spend more time trying to take care of that than my physical health. I just feel very hurt & lost and I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.
