My brother has 2 kids had them younger than the age I'm at now. Every time I talk to them they have negative things to say. When I went to the doctors my mother said she hoped it would be negative (after 3 positives) I also got screenshots between my mom and a "friend" where she was venting saying my parents are trying to cause a lot of stress during my 1st trimester in hopes of potentional miscarriage. I feel sickened and alone. I have my boyfriend and his family, but I was hoping on my own to be there. How can I change their minds??

My mom is married, but her husband can't hold a job and she doesn't want to work. She is only 49. Things she do worry me to no end. I love her but being around her stresses me to no end. She always needs money for bills, food and gas or whatever. If I give it to her the very next day it's something else. She won't ever call and ask how I'm doing whenever the phone rings it's concerning money. If it doesn't I know she has money at the moment. She'lll call and text me constantly at work saying she's so sick until I'm worried at work. She'll text late night about her health and how she needs to go to the dr. I honestly don't know what to believe because she lied so much to me growing up about her health for attention or money. I'm thinking about leaving the state and relocating because she drains me to no end. She says it's my job to take care of her and these pass years that's what's been going on. I want to buy a hoe but she wants to live with me and that I don't want. Any advice? No I don't live with her btw

The average student loan debt for 2016 graduates is about 40,000. If you're 22 and 40,000 in debt, you probably won't be able to have child until you're 28 and you won't even be fertile by then. Women are the most fertile in their early 20s.

Hello..... I love my mom but I feel like she won't love me back but I can't tell. She makes fun of me calls me to skinny and forces me to eat more even though my doctor says I'm fine.She tells me I'm not good enough she tells me I can't follow my dreams and I better start learning how to cook at McDonalds. She yells at me and I I start crying she drags me out by my legs or hair. She tells me to just leave. But then she buys me things and sometimes she's really nice and hugs me and says she loves me I don't understand.... please help

My blood Aunty passed today from brain cancer. She went through a messy divorce and lost and has not spoken to her kids in 22 years. She never contacted them and they never contacted her. 6 months ago after her diagnosis my mum asked me to ask my cousins if they wanted to see her before it was too late. So they were aware of the situation. Now my mum and grandparents have requested that I do not tell her daughter/my cousin that she has passed today. I feel this has put me in a compromising position after I did the right thing and now I am part of the game when all I wanted to do was right and just for everybody. Every child should have the right to know if their parents pass away irrespective of the situation. Thoughts please? Time is running out before they inevitably find out anyway.

I'll try to keep this brief. My 23 year old step-son has a baby by a girl. My wife and I love her to death. She's going to be 2 in a few days. Momma is a few years younger and is having a hard time supporting her because my step-son isn't paying child support. For the past few weeks the mom has been trying to find a location to have her birthday party but it's hard to find a free place for kids that age. There are a number of places but they all cost. My step-son feels like if he gives her $50 or $60 ever few weeks she's supposed to stretch that. Long story short, the birthday party is off at this point. My grandbaby's momma called me yesterday to say that instead of a party she just wants to get both families together and have a nice dinner at a Japanese steak house this Thursday. I told my wife yesterday and she said we couldn't go because her son couldn't afford it. My issue is this. He can't afford his first child so what does he do? He goes out and gets another girl pregnant who is about to drop any day now. This steak house is probably going to be easily $100 bill for the two of us but my wife said we can't go because her son can't afford that. We both get paid Thurs and it's not a problem for us to go so why can't we go. No, I'm an advocate of making a man step up to the plate and live up to his responsibilities so if he can't go then he should have learned to manage his money better.

I just graduated so in the process of finding the right job. Well I've been free most mornings so I've told my sister I'd help with taking her kids to school. But I'm looking for a morning job. Now it seems she's getting too comfortable and is scheduling her work days for early mornings to not do it. Plus she's pregnant and asked me to work night shift to accommodate her. I don't have any kids but we are roommates.

It sounds weird if I say this but I never had a special connection with my mom. My parents divorced when I was 6 and my dad passed away in 2016. I live with my whole life with my mother in a small house and I get sick of it. She tries to decide everything for me and which friends I should have. She always complains about me that I don't do anything and that no one likes me and that I won't be able to get work because I have a difficult personality. She bought everything I want and she cooks for me, but the special connection between mom and daugher doesn't exist in our case. I always see how my friends have the best relation with their moms and it makes me sad that i dont have it. Besides that I dont have contact with family so I feel lonely all the time. Its like I only have her. But the problem is that I can't be open with her. I can't talk about boys I like and she is very close minded. I can't talk about feelings because she is getting stressed always when I talk about problems and then she gets mad. I don't feel emotional support and it makes me feel lonlier to see how everyone is having a nice family. I argue everyday with my mom and I get sick of it. I want to move to another house but since im only 18 years its difficult. Can someone please help me what to do because I feel like sometimes to just throw myself away or something.

My mother in law bought me am exercising outfit for me for my birthday. I am 28 and have been married to her son for 7 months, and her oldest son(my brother in law) gets favored over my husband and I have picked up on that so there have been rough times in our relationship bc I don't agree with that. I'm just wondering if she bought the outfit as a smart *** or as a real gift with no fat joke behind it.

I want to be a father. I'm 24 work a job only making 11 bucks an hour. I've never dated a girl and I have no college education or skills so my choices of work are limited. But I want to get a female pregnant and be a father.

I was very young when this began, but it is one of my first memories. When I was as young as 3, my dad, always so angry at anything, would often beat me or disaplen me too hard. Especially in the morning before school. He would push me up against the wall, turn me around and hit me as hard his he could. I was spanked by my mother when I really did deserve it, and it was just a short sting, as a spank should be. My dad went much further than this. It was traumatic, especially since it happened when I didn't deserve it. He threatened me that I better not tell my mother. He said to tell her it happened at school on the playground. I'm 25 now and finally told her about the physical and verbal abuse that went on later in my teenage years and she did not believe me. I was a child having panic attacks and I couldn't tell anyone why. A teenager with anxiety and even worse panic attacks and I still couldn't tell anyone. Now, I finally tell the person that matters most, the person that never understood why I had so many developmental issues grow my up, and she won't believe me.... I don't know what to do. My friends believe me, but my mother can't. What do I do? Thank you.

My daughter and her friend started a fight with a chat room admin who is strict with people under 18 being on there. She snapped, "I can do what I want, I do me". There was swearing and cruel insults exchanged. They just replied "maybe Mommy needs to be the parent, not your friend".

Would you rather have kids at 18 with no college degree or be a 27 year old who can't have kids because you still have student loan debt to pay off? Many millennials have to postpone having kids until later in life because of the debt. Working minimum wage is a lot better than being in debt and not being able to have kids early.
