I'm a 21 year old female and my mom been working and my two sisters been going to school and I have to stay home to watch my baby sister but I couldn't watch her because I'm always falling asleep on her and my baby sister always touching things and stuff. I know I should be very responsible right now since I'm 21 but I tried to stay up with her but it's too hard for to stop falling asleep on her and I wanna stop cause I wanna have kids one day is there any way to stop falling asleep on her

I am 16 and my sister is planning to move out by the end of this year. Next to her room is my dad s study, however he only uses a small corner of the room as he doesn t need all the space, the rest is used as storage. My room is getting to be too small for me and I would really really like to move into my dad s study and my idea is that he could then have my room as his study, which would mean he is closer to his bedroom and then we can use my sister s room to store everything from the study in. It is approximately the same size as mine so moving into hers wouldn t benefit anyone at all. Please can someone tell me how I can convince my parents to at least consider it. I don t want answers telling me to just accept that I m not going to get anywhere because I m not going to stop trying and that s rude.

We are both their middle children, but I'm the only girl out of 3 boys. In 6th grade, I was NEVER to leave school grounds especially not with older kids. They were protective about who I'm exposed to. My 11 year old brother can hang out with older boys my age (16 years old?). If I were the 11 year old right now, they would've restricted my time from them.

I'm not the oldest either, I'm the middle daughter. In 6th grade I was always told to never leave school grounds with older kids. They were protective of who I hung out with, who my 11 year old self was exposed to. But now, my brother is allowed to go to places with his friends alone! My parents questioned once and just let him go. They would've had a panic attack if it were me. He already has the same freedom as I have as a 16 year old girl who doesn't go out much.

Since our daughter was born 6 years ago my ex has been bitter and angry towards her. She refuses to spend time with her and when she does spend time with her she is for the most part not there and present in what they are doing. She also can say mean things to her like "you can't live with me anymore because you keep me up all night." That only scratches the surface. Those things really hurt my little girl and she's starting to act out in school. The way she does my daughter is what drove the wedge between us in the first place and it enrages me to no end. Do i have the right to be mad at her or should I even be mad at her or should I just let it go. I just know it's damaging my little lady and it's gonna change her for a long time

Mom called an old friend of dads because of a smell in basement, he came over sunday to look around, he found the source. he called mom and me down to laundry room, he pulled out my stained panty and said, this is the problem, it wasn't a rat or a dead mouse, it was my period stains. he then smelled mom panty and said, nope, its mine for sure. now I place my panties in plastic bag until we do bleach ,laundry. I think mom likes him:) @Elaine, no, its a true story, I'm accepting it.

He has me lie for him also.

I am single and live ten minutes away. They see me twice a week on average. Three of my siblings live far away and they only see them once or twice a year. Another sibling lives one hour away and they see him about once a month on average.

My bf mom never once got anything for my newborn and apparently she never did with her other grandchildrens and i think thats weird for her not to... I hate going over to my bf house to see his mom because she never brought ONE thing for him..how would u guys feel if your MIL never brought anything for your babies?? Would u go to her house for Christmas and she doesnt buy gifts for her grandchildren?!

So in my family I live with my three older brothers 21-26. We all have jobs and contribute to bill and such except my father who hasn't worked in over 12 years. My mom has a job but she doesn't make much. We all have jobs and So around 2 years ago when I was around 17. my oldest brother bought a house for my mother in his name as s gift. he used credit and a down payment he had great credit and got approved. As a family my brothers agreed to help I didn't have a job and once I got a job I've been helping since. So my brother that's 24 says he moving out soon after an argument about money. He says he can't stand being here and that we all should go on our own since were all grown men. I said that's fine by me and give me three months. I really would rather stay rather than find my own apartment and struggle as I don't maje much. My oldest bro feels betrayed because our mortgage is 2200 a month not including other bills. My brother that's 24 has the best job of us get paid most by the hour. There was a huge fight between us and my mom is upset. I have another brother older than us all he's 31. He doesn't live with us and I don't talk to much but I Facebook book about apartments. He asked why and I told him and he feels that our brother is selfish and betraying the family. He doesn't have a good job either and mainly is supported by his girlfriend. I'm just wondering do you think it's wrong to move out for no reason and putting. Bigger finance burden on ur family?

My mother who I only remember meeting once passed away recently.I was contacted by my half sister who told me that she had me as a beneficiary. My adopted guardian which is my aunt never let us come into contact with my mother and her side of the family. I still don't understand the situation but I don't feel its my place to ask questions because there is a lot of anger.I am an adult now but haven't moved out yet. I attended my mothers funeral because I knew it would mean a lot them and I wanted to go to my own mothers funeral because it would haunt me if I didn't. I also have a twin sister and shes a beneficiary as well. This is a stressfull situation for me. I am just wondering if it would be a rude or bad thing to not take the money? I understand that my mother wanted us to have it and that she loved us but I don't know how to feel about this situation. I don't know what the right thing to do is!

Now that I think about it, people who don't speak English tend to view their environment as blurry. Anyone can tell them anything, which isn't necessarily true information. Kids can lie - they have easy internet access too! But these parents often come from countries with less knowledge about social media. They can limit time on screens, but wouldn't they still have a harder time keeping the child safe offline and online? They can't understand the language that the children are speaking, and if a child is doing something wrong, they will lie about it. Usually, people have no reason not to believe others if they're the ones who don't understand and the stories seem realistic.

I have one older half brother and five younger full brothers. The youngest is graduating from law School soon. We are all chipping in to buy him a Porsche. My older half brother wants to only give half of what everybody else gives cuz he's only a half brother. Now the money for all of us is not an issue. We are all well off, and money for the gift is insignificant to all of us. It's just the fact that....

I'm a college freshman 17 yo and I feel like she's treating me like a first grader. I need to ss my uber driver profile and send it to her, need to call her immediately after I arrive at the campus, she tried to handpick my friends (bad mouthing my friends so I stay away from them), mad when I tried out for a student organization, dislikes it when I join cheers, have to keep it a secret that I'm organizing a uni event from her or she'll be mad, I feel bad when I have fun with my friends bc my mom think that Idc about my family since I have more fun outside of the house (duh!), when she's not ok with my bf I need to immediately break up with him. Also hit me, call me I'm stupid, slow, say that I can't handle a guy bc he's way out of my league, etc. Fortunately she rarely hit my bro (one day she just stopped hitting her children). I know she loves me, she tried her best but it;s not healthy. She always say that I don't give her enough attention. I have difficulty to show my emotion since back then my mom always scold me when I frown, angry, cry and call me an attention seeker when I act all cheerful. Now she never yell but she goes on full sarcasm mode. Idk wht to do with this situation, sometimes I imagine going somewhere with a new identity & never look back (But I can't bc I'll feel bad for my family). PS Dad rarely home, workaholic, a good man, never mad at me to the point where he yell and hit, scared af of my mom so he prefer to stay silent when unwanted things happen.

My mom assumes that I'm daydreaming all day if I lock myself into my room. Unless she sees that I'm doing schoolwork or I specifically tell her beforehand, that is her common assumption. If I stay up late, it's the same. She'll assume that I'm not getting work done, but wasting time playing on my smartphone all night instead. Sometimes she really thinks that, so she'll tell me to come down and do something else.

My in laws have hated me for years, especially my MIL who has always claimed I made fun of her yet she did it to me! My FIL is a control freak jerk who thinks that because he is a rich CFO (who can barely keep a job) that he has a right to control everyone incl his son my husband who is a middle aged man! He has tried to tell us that "he is in charge of our lives and marriage and we either do this marriage his way or the highway". Below are things they have done: 1- Made him stay @ their house over an hour away when we have had fights and tried to brainwash him into believing I am a pathological lying/psycho 2- Spread vicious lies/slander to their entire family in several states 3- Father in law (FIL) believes that because he worked as a CFO for a legal aid co, he is a lawyer and is qualified to give legal advice (he is not from this state and is always wrong on his legal advice FYI) 4- Mother in law (MIL) constantly brags about her large breasts and looks and the $ "they make" *she has never worked a day in her life* 5- They both bring up past things between my husband and I to try to brainwash him with (your wife went shopping w/an ex boyfriend out of town, etc) 6- Told my husband I never deserved to be a mother 7- Told my husband that they keep all screenshots between us via text and texts they have between my mother and I and will "use them as ammunition in court" 8- Told my husband that I am mentally unfit 9- FIL called his older bro (whom they have told us not to allow around our children due to him being a "sex offender" to chastise my husband about why and how come he is married to such a crazy woman and to divorce her now if he knows whats good for him. They bad mouth this uncle when they need to but when they want to use him (husbands fav uncle) as ammunition they act like he is their best friend. Could this be narcissistic personality disorder? 10- forced my husband to use their lawyer My husband told them off last week- they told him since he wouldnt let them have full access/control over his life and refused to leave me and do what they say, they told him to get lost and they are done with him They threatened to call the police if he didnt return to their home from our home and threatened to take his dog to the pound since he "did not return home" and also- began crying over a baby they had that died 20 + years ago and tried to use his baby sister's death as a way to manipulate him. His mother keeps texting him saying "she is scared and worried for his safety" with me. My husband didnt use their lawyer ***

My older brother, every day, around the same time starts stomping and scraping his feet on the floor. He is a drug addict, and I presume he is having hallucinations after he goes and purchases whatever it is he's on. I heard him saying to my younger brother once that he was seeing an infestation of ants, and when the effect faded, he realized there was nothing there. Now, there is no real purpose in the question, it is mere curiosity in what on earth makes that to a person. On a more personal note, I am starting to get extremely annoyed with this; as I live in the room underneath his, and I can hear it clearly, as tge sessions may last up to 2 hours. It angers me, but my mum sticks up for him, and there's not much I can do.

I'm 18, and my phone has been taken away for a week now. The reason he took it away was because I booked a trip to tour a college with my mom instead of him, and he was mad that we "didn't work as a team." I would understand where he's coming from, however when I asked him to take me on a tour he didn't give a clear answer and it seemed like he wasn't going to take me on the tour. When I confronted him about it he still didn't say anything, and I needed to book the tour ASAP so I did it while I was at my mom's house (my mom and dad are separated). Now he has been mad at me for a week, and in order to get my phone back I have to write a letter explaining how what I did was wrong and inexcusable. Is this reasonable? I feel like taking my phone and writing a letter to him is punishment for a 6th grader. I don't even see why I'm getting punished for this. I think he's mainly upset because he's the one paying for college, so he wants to go tour wherever I go? He promised to pay for college since I was little.

I am 13 and I honestly don't know whether I am being abused or not. My mom will repeatedly slap me about 10 times in a row for something as stupid as me not wanting to go to an optional soccer practice that day. My dad will threaten to beat me, plus will take his belt and spank me about 7 times in a row (which leaves bruises) my mother refers to me and my little sisters as "bastards" and shes called me a "little slut" twice before. I have been begging my mother to let me go to a public school instead of being online schooled many times before, but she always says no (which results in me not having a single friend because I am stuck inside every single day other than 1hr soccer practice a day and quick trips to the grocery store) our house is an absolute mess and me and my little sisters are blamed for it. If my grades are low my mother will constantly cry for hours and say how I am making her life completely miserable and make me stay up all night to bring them up. When my mother is sad my dad will blame me and yell at me for it even if it isn't my fault. My mom and dad will be gone for about 8 hrs a day leaving me to watch my little sisters and I get nothing in return. I have to clean my own clothes and fix my own food, and my mother always says it's because she works or she has to clean all the time (when really she only does the dishes and then sits down saying she's tired.) I take baths daily but my little sisters take a bath about every week and sometimes longer.

I m from Manhattan and that s my favorite place in the world. But I don t like the town in which I go to college or whenever I travel to other places in America, I don t feel like I m home. Maybe it s because of the current political climate, but even before that throughout my childhood I ve never really been impressed or happy in America outside of Manhattan. My family travels quite a bit to Europe and I feel so much more welcolmed there. My mom has lots of family in London and she used to live there. When she married my dad, they were considering moving to London and starting their lives there, but then my dad got this dream job offer in NYC so they stayed in America. But there have been multiple times where they ve considered moving to London (especially after 9/11 and when Trump got elected) but my dad s career has just been going so uphill to the point that it d be foolish to restart anywhere else. But when we travel to Spain, France, London, even Iceland, I feel so much more welcomed and like I fit in with the people, personalities, food, and style there than when we travel to American cities. Just earlier this year we went to my dad s hometown in Oregon, a place where half of my family originated from so I should feel welcomed, and my mom and I felt so anxious there. We got so many looks it s like people knew we didn t belong. We really felt foreign in our own country. It was nothing like in Europe even when we don t know the language we feel more at home.

Hi. So I am a 17 year old girl who, along with my 19 year old sister, have lived with our grandparents since I was 5 and she was 7. We have a younger brother who is currently 11 year's old, and he lived with our mother his whole life up until she passed away in 2015. He came to live with us during that time, and was an absolute terror. He murdered several of our animals, broke windows, lit fires, ate all the food, argued constantly, punched walls, etc. My sister and I begged our Nana to get rid of him, until after a year of living with us, he left to go live with our cousin. After 3 months, he was sent back because he tried to sexually assault their daughter and got strangled by one of the sweetest kids ever, because he mad them so mad. We found a facility to put him in a few months later, but was kicked out again because he caused so many problems for them, and even tried to sexually assault tankther little girl. He has this weird obsession with sex, little girls, and violence, so we had to get a lock for my door after he snuck in my room and stabbed out my face in several pictures. My grandparents are ferried he will hurt me, yet we cannot get rid of him. We have tried CPS, several facilities, and family members. He's had countless therapy, and every therapist gets rid of him because they say he lacks remorse and has signs of being a psychopath. How do we get rid of him?

I experienced it with both my son and daughter. With my girl, she'd come home crying for hours over what some "mean girls" did. My son just turned 13. He frustrates and angers me a lot. There's so much rebelliousness and talking back. I limit computer time, he will argue against it. I tell him to do a chore, his now 16 year old sister ends up doing it. Funny enough, my daughter is an absolute angel now! There's no more drama queen attitude and she's very reasonable. She helps me around the house a lot which minimizes my stress. My son became very unpleasant to deal with when he turned 12 last year. Oddly enough, my daughter pointed out that it's the same with her. Is there some kind of connection?

My mom passed away when I was out of town for 10 days. My mother was sick before I left, and I begged her to see a doctor but she wouldn't. I found her dead when I returned home, and I'm being blamed for her death because I left her alone! I hate how family and friends are making me feel horrible and guilty because of her death. How can I overcome this feeling?

hey guys so I like this girl but she likes someone else she flirts with me a lot before he came back hough. She said she said she started to like him back and ahe hate herself for it. then I said I wanna be her friends and see where it takes us. Should I be her friends? Im not sure if the guy she likes liked her back so I still have a chance right? i asked her if she doesnt like me and she said " I didnt say that " she said she meet someone from the past and things went quick. She says her relationship status is conplicated

My mom and i got into a fight because one of my relatives asked me what my size I was and I asked her why she needed to know she said just answer the question and I got mad and told her that I didnt want them. So just earlier today I told my mom has (relatives name) called you yet and she was like why . I told her and she asked me if I was being rude. I didn t think I was at the time but when I looked back at it i was. So I told her kinda she said now I m disappointed in you. You think you re being cute, you re not, it s gets annoying, it s not cute . I told her I didn t think I was, I never have. She then continued to say you think you look cute when you do it you re not . I told her I ve never thought that and I m sorry. She said you re always sorry .I held my tongue and she said even (another relative) said (something about my attitude). I m very quiet and I don t really talk unless I know someone well, once I started getting to know them more I decided to be myself and joke around with them. They laughed and so I thought I was okay, and the truth is that s how I always have been I just never showed it unless I was with my friends and I guess my mom thought I got to comfortable. So once I called (my relative) like my mom told me to and said sorry in front of my mom she said I m disappointed in you then got up and left. I went to my room and got my eyebrow razor that I ve never used and I cut my hand I don t feel bad why?

I was keeping my aunts dog for a year and he somehow got Heartworms. He was back and forth to the vet I even gave my aunt money sometimes to take him. She said she couldn't afford some of the stuff. He was having issues breathing. My aunt would say the vet said it was fine his body is fighting Heartworms. His breathing got bad, I put him in the car around 11pm drive to the vet called them before I went in he explained that it could be normal his body is just fighting infection that I could just monitor him. He said it was going to be a lot of money after hours. So I figured I'd wait until morning and take him and monitor him. I was going to pay out of my own pocket. I cried so bad because I can see he was in pain he was only 3 1/2 years old. That morning I got up to take him. He was weak he didn't even walk so I picked him up and he was wagging his tail. 3 mins before we got to the vet he died on my lap. Now it's killing me because I watched him suffer and should've never turned back from the vet that night. I'm so depressed and I keep thinking of how he looked at me. I loved him so much. Any advice?

okay so i had a son with my ex husband he is now almost ten years old I used to have full physical but i moved out of state and my HUGE mistake was not filling papers with the court first im not going into details but i had to move within two days because of a family emergency and because i did not file with the court my ex got custody and i have visitation. My son goes and visits my mother and lately he does not want to leave my moms house because he says he does not want to live with his dad anymore. I asked him why he says my dad hits me alot with a belt. I would have never thought my ex was abuse at all we were together for 10 years and i always thought he was a good father. But my son says he hits him alot. I dont know what to do I cant even speak to my ex because he hates me for ending our relationship I mean he really has hate for me and we have been apart five years and he still hates me. I try to talk to him without fighting for our son but its impossible to talk to. If my son wants to live with me I dont even know if my sons opinion matter in court because he is only 9. Ive tried to get custody back but the judge does not want my son to leave the state. Right now im stuck here because of money and medical issues. I want my son to live with me I but the judge i feel would just turn me away. Ive been okay with it not happy but okay with it because I thought my ex was a good father I dont know what to do

this is a long one I'll start with the facts I've been a single mom for 12 years worked many hours had no social life basically gave up on relationships ever Just had a baby Boyfriend is super mean to my son 17 year old is to blame for being lazy with attitude. However boyfriend was really rude to him saying he hates him. made him not come home from school 3x a week for the sake of finding friends . I have been moved out for about 3 months but spend most of my time visiting him He lives 100 miles from where I moved . My son refuses to live with My son tried his best to do whatever he wanted with no complaints but he kept nagging my son for everything. My boyfriend seemed to improve since I moved out . He still refuses to apologize to my son . He is ok with my 14 year old daughter While in the hospital with baby some weird things happened . #1 even though he wanted his baby so bad he doesn't really pay attention to her . He didn't want me to pick her up saying she needs to learn we are not picking her up every time she cries and not baby her . obsessed with having his name on the birth certificate and saying he has proof I was at his home lately by taking pictures of my car daily so he can show dcf or the courts if I try not to stay with him . I don't know if I'm emotional or if this is normal considering the earlier fighting and he wants to make sure I don't try to get full custody . I feel so torn between him and my son and see where they are both wrong .

My daughter despises the popular, social kids for some reason. Her friends show the same dislike (their parents hear the complaints too). Her little brother sees his big sister get that mean and angry look on her face every time those girls walk by. It's a particular group of kids. The ones who can befriend anyone they want, imitates older kids, and are loud in the hallways (based on HER and her friend's description). I see NO signs of bullying, just teenage drama. This is a recent thing that started once 8th grade approached.

My dad recently ditched me to move to Tennessee with his wife, and I m taking it pretty hard and lately all i ve wanted to do is listen to sad songs and cry

The father also yelled at his son for making a lot of noise (crying). I understand that fathers need to instill that "man up" mentality, as they don't want their sons to grow up to be sissies. But the fact of the matter is that children cry, whether they're male or female. And they will fall down, scrape their knee, etc. So not being allowed to cry seems a bit overboard. I can also recall that same 8-year-old boy being yelled at by his dad, "Don't cry!" after he fell on the sidewalk and proceeded to tear up.

they re your test if they re bully or helper. The sad part is if they re bully towards you. What kind of sibling you have
