My high school only had classes for a half day so my friend Ann invited me to join her and her dad for lunch. I said yes. I though we might go to Mc Donalds or maybe Sizzler. Was I surprised when we went to Ruth Chris. It was the best meal I think I ever had. Her dad said I look familiar to him and he ask me if we had met. I told him no. I would sure remember if I had ever met him. He said perhaps it is your mother I have met. What is her name? When I told him, he said I don't know anyone by that name. What was her maiden name. When I told him he had a big smile on his face. He said "I went to high school with your mom". Tell her Joe Jones (not his real name) says hello. What is she doing now? Thinking it might be fun to tell mom I had a dinner date with an old boyfriend of hers, I asked him if he ever dated my mom in high school. He smiled and said no, I asked her for a date a few times and she turned me down every time. What was my mom thinking turning down a date from a GREAT LOOKING GUY? My first thought was to tell mom about this lunch when I got home. After giving it more thought, I am not sure she would want to hear about it. Moms, please give me some advice on what I should do. Would you want to hear about my lunch date? I don't want to make my mom feel bad.

she's 9 years older than me, i'm 21 and i'm trying to grow up. i want a good relationship with my 7 older siblings - i want to be able to call them and face time with them, ask for advice, etc. but this sister has never liked me, i have tried so many things to just reach out to her. her birthday is 2 days before mine and i always tell her hbd but i can't remember the last time she did that for me. she got married when i was 16 and she didn't even invite me and 2 of our other siblings to the wedding. i remember talking on the phone with her right around that time, and she never even mentioned it. i was blessed into a big beautiful family but she always wants to leave us (me in particular) behind. on fb she always says she only has 2 sisters, which really hurts. so the other day i was trying to put together an address book, i fb messaged her for her details. she said she'd give me her phone number but that i can't give it out to anyone else. i knew what she was getting at but it was stupid so i said "well you're my sister, and i'm not some shady business soo..." and she never even replied. what do i do? should i stop trying? should i call her out? ask one of my sisters that she actually does claim? i mean why is she like this? i was always just a little kid, but when i was younger she was a great big sister. now, she never makes any effort. ive met her husband once, when i was 14, and i have 2 nephews from her that i've never met. this feels like such a stab to the heart.

I live with my gf but lately its like living with my crank old mom whos clingy, moody, nags at me, talks too much, doesnt let me be sometimes. Also my gf is fat and lazy and I give up trying to get her to exercise or clean her mountain hoard pile room. I got no days to myself anymore because we are both home and Im not a morning person. Shes cheerful in the am and grouchy and cranky at night, or snappy, where I am opposite We pay cheap rent though and Love each other.

I almost cant stand her nagging anymore, messy place, and I cant hear myself think of thi gs without being followed or bothered. I love her, even though shes fat, high strung, and talks too much. I dont have to go back to work yet, and shes in between jobs too. But I just want a day to myself sometimes. Shes been making me feel drained or crappy

I'm visiting my brother in Florida. I'm driving there and well I texted him if he would lend me $100 when I got there and I would pay him right back. He never replied to my text and I texted him that yesterday. I feel hurt, he could easily say, "No." Not ignore me. That's rude. I'm going to pay him back.

I try to keep an mind but for some reason I dont them attractive, there have been very very rare cases were I found one or two attractive but for the most I think they are ugly. Is that racist?

My mom's mom lost her battle with cancer on May 1st. We were all extremely close and loving to each other. My mom means the world to me and I know she will be upset this mother's day, having just lost hers. I want to do something to honor my grandmother and let my mother know she is still here. Whether it's a gift or an activity or whatever. My grandma was very sick her past few years with us so there's not many things we all did often together I could take her to go do. Help!😩

Everyone does this to me. Friends, family, boyfriends. They'd say they'll call or message back then when they don't I'll leave them then they'll contact me like a month later so angry pretending that I snubbed them.

This is so frustrating, my parents are divorced and my dad lives alone. I live with my mom and I don't have a car yet, she has a car and she never uses it, all she does is move around the house cleaning god knows what all f*cking day. I have to beg her to take me somewhere cause all I ever know is home and school. And It's not about the money, there are places you can go for free and you don't need money, she just doesn't move from the house, my dad doesn't care at all and I don't even have any friends. It's driving me insane:(

My father is deceptive and ignorant as dirt. He also mistreats his family of origin (his siblings and their children) for unjust reasons. He has a good side but also has a really bad side.

So, I'm on my way to the bathroom, when I walk by my mom's room and hear strange noises. I pressed my ear to the door so I could hear what's going on. I heard moaning, so I assumed my parents were going at it. But then I heard my grandpa's voice. He was yelling, "go deeper Carol." Based on that info, I'm guessing that they were doing it. Should I tell my dad?

My mother is always overstepping when it comes to my oldest son and makes it appear to the outside as though she is more his mother or at least that's how I feel. She has always tried to have a say and critizies me for my rules and expectations of him. She will go through the school website calendar, question family that goes to the same school about who he talks to or dates (heck she even badgered my friends daughter at a ball game over who he is seeing), she has put herself on his baseball teams Facebook page that's for the parents about cancellations and practices, and tries to follow him and his friends on social media. I've tried overlooking most of her behaviors but now I feel as though she has taken special moments from me and him. He is graduating high school next week and she friended the lady who did his senior pictures and posted them before I even got to see them, she posted pictures of the surprise car I got him for his birthday, she has tried to tell me who to invite to his graduation, and today she overstepped about this being his last day of school. I really want to tell her this isn't her child and to step back but I don't want to hurt her feelings and she is the type of person that if you say ANYTHING she doesn't agree with she will hold it against you and say something like "fine I won't come around at all". Anyhow my question is does anyone have any advice with how to deal with this without hard fellings

My husband's parents purport themselves to be Christians, yet they "keep a record of wrongs" and constantly bring up stuff from a decade or so ago that I did. They hold me accountable for everything I did or my mom did and will tell me "we have a right to call you out on such and such". My husband or they have insisted I apologize despite them never once apologizing for things they did! When my husband has done something wrong, they take it upon themselves to "get even" or "hold me accountable" and call up their family members (some of which they have bullied or lied about in the past) and make false accusations about or gossip about me. What can I do? Why do people like this operate like this? My father in law is a CFO (who gets fired all the time from jobs) and told my husband that he will "listen to his orders and let him run his life or else! " and that he will get a divorce and he is in charge of his career and marriage not my husband! Of course, my husband scoffed in his face and refused to listen!

He is very deceitful like this management guy he knows and complains of yet he is the same way.

He's honestly got everything he could ever want. Help

Me and my family's birth years all end in a 4. My mother was born in 1974, my Father was born in 1974, my uncle was born in 1984, i was born in 2004, and my sister was born in 2014. Can we get money for that? My grandmother was born in 1944, my grandfather was also born in 1944. We all end in 4. It's awesome. And my great grandmother was born in 1914.

I'm a 16 year old guy and am completely stuck! When I get into arguments with my mom specifically I try to use fact based evidence and well thought out arguments to talk to her but when ever I say anything she can't give an immediate refutation to her first response is to threaten punishment (i.e. leave your keys/phone on the counter) I know I have well thought out arguments and debate well ( I'm in the debate team and we're ranked 4th In state) Even on the rare occasion I get her to concede instead of letting me win she says go talk to your dad who always argues her side. When I argue with logic I get yelled at and told I'm "not respecting my mom" which is a bullshit way to try and shut down an arguement. Please help!!

There's a concert this Saturday that I would like to go to with my sister since I never get to see her anymore. Both my parents have said no, my Mom because she doesn't want to go to the town it's in and my Dad because I have an appointment half an hour after the concert ends (the driving distance between the town and the appointment is more than half an hour). The place the appointment is in is extremely flexible because currently this is the off-season and not a lot of people make an appointment at this time of year. My Dad also told me that I can "see it another time" but that's not possible because this is airing live once and then never again unless you want to pay $100 for the DVD of the concert. There's another live viewing for a different concert from the same band in July but I am not going to be in the country or with my family in July and after that, I have no idea when I'll get to go to any concert at all with my sister. I feel selfish for wanting to go to this because literally I get to travel around the world doing what I love, but I also feel overwhelmed sometimes because overall, I'm still a nerdy teenage girl who wants to indulge in other things she likes. Should I consider asking my parents again and asking to push back the appointment later in the day (the concert starts at 11am and ends at 1pm so this would be possible) or am I being selfish and shouldn't even bother?

We are best friends and she is 25 years older than me and she is a mom. The thing is that we also make out sometimes but we aren't in a relationship. Would it be weird to get her a mother's day card cuz she is technically old enough to be my mom (tho i don't see her as one ew) but we also make out

(Sorry if some things don't make sense and have bad grammar.) Now recently, I criticized my mother. I don't want to say what I criticized my mother for, but it wasn't anything serious or mean. My mother gives me the silent treatment whenever I criticize her or even slightly, I don't even yell. I don't do badly in school, I get good grades and take advanced classes. So her being mad about my grades is out of the equation. Also, this might not be related to the question, but my mother makes me say what she wants me to say. For example, she wants me to say I love school, my mother works hard, and etc. Whenever I say something she doesn't want me to say (I'm not even saying anything mean about her or a person), for example, I said one time, I don't care about school that much. She says that I am embarrassing her and that I was being rude. I honestly don't get what is wrong saying that. Sure, going to school might be necessary to get a job, but I don't get why it was rude. Every person that I have told this to didn't even find it offending, even to those who get straight A's in school. In fact, most of them agreed with me. I honestly find it immature how my mom gives me the silent treatment for criticizing her and gets mad at me for saying something that she didn't want me to say. I might've been a little bit hypocritical since I'm saying things behind her back, but I need some advice to deal with this silent treatment that my mom is giving me.

My whole School is planning on taking a field trip to the aquarium for a few hours. It is about 45 minutes away.While there, there will be chaperone groups. My boyfriends mom and dad are chaperones.His brother will also be there. It will be very awkward for the bus ride as the brother and the friends will force us to sit together. WHAT DO I DO!!

My Mother's, sister in-law (married to her brother), sister's kids. So my cousin's cousin. No grandparents or blood relation. Any relation? If so what would they'd be called?

She also abbreviates words and writes really generic answers.

my dad and my mom said that I could go over to my friends house until monday but when my friends mom came to pick me up my aunt tried to force her to leave and tried to tell me that i am not going because I am going to church on sunday so I yelled for my dad and my dad started yelling at my aunt and told her that if she ever tries to tell me what to do or looked at me the wrong way she will be packing her bags. Then he informed her that she is a guest not my parent.

Alright, so, I am 17 and the other day I talked to my school counselor about some problems that were going on at home pertaining my mother. This led to me speaking with a lady from DHR, and her visiting my home to sign papers stating I can stay with my grandmother until further notice. To be honest, I really just want to be home and with my father, but he has no clue how to get my mother out of the house. She is mentally ill I suppose, and does drugs. I really just want to feel like I am at home, be alone in my bed, and be able to go to my friends or visit my friends without having to ask. My father has never bothered me, but my mother made me feel suicidal. Can I go back home since I spoke to DHR and agreed to staying with my grandparents or would that be up to my grandparents ultimately? Could my father decide to bring me back home?

I write frequently on here about extended family and my Mom alienating me as a kid from her family cause her father was an alcoholic. I am an adult now. I am learning disabled so not as adult like in manners and interests. My Mom's brother, whose wife is VERY formal, has invited my parents to their daughter's high school graduation June 2nd and to a dinner after at a restaurant. She did not invite me. I sense it would be invasive since I am an adult if I asked to join my parents. As a result I likely will miss the event. Usually we are not asked cause my mother made it clear when my grandfather was alive she wanted to be distant from the family. I was hurt as a kid by this as family was all I had, no friends. We missed every family event for 8 years and only went to occasional family events since. My grandfather died in 2010 and we have been going a lot more since. When we miss something floods of rejection and shame overtake me. Yes I am in therapy and just looking for additional ideas. I feel rejected but scared if I ask my Mom if I can go with her in my Dad's place (he won't be in town) then the uncle and his wife will be mad I invited myself. I was notorious for that up until my grandfather's death and I have been more careful with etiquette since.

I'm almost 18, senior in hs and I'll be graduating at the end of this month. Personally I don't see the point in walking in stage to get a piece of paper basically. I have to pay $70 for the cap and gown and then everyone has to buy tickets and it's stressful and pointless to me. My parents are forcing me to do it when I've told them I just don't want to. My dad is telling me how all I want to do is see my girlfriend and all of that when in reality I'm just trying to work and make money. He's constantly controlling me and running my life telling me where I can and can't go to college constantly telling me I'm wrong and stupid. What should I do with him? He says my girlfriend can't even go to see me walk because he hates her since she's homeschooled.

Mine is my grandmother. She funny,loven, and sweet (at least into she gets gassy). Me and her have more in common than I do with my parents.

I graduate this Saturday and want to incorporate my son. He's my whole world and gave me the strength to get through school. He has attended many of classes with me and Is excited about me graduating. I'm just wondering if anyone has had their child walk with them on graduation. Do you think it's a good idea or not?

I have had my true identity as an adult male force-changed into masculinity by my dad who did so by bossing, blaming and scolding me for everything around the home ever since he took my teen sibs and eldest sibling to a program that turns males into metrosexuals while I missed out due to an unforseen event with work. And now I was wondering was it even right for me to to imply I am a manly man with this circumstances mentioned when I don't agree with this identity he forced in me? I already did something stupid after holding in all the frustration with him treating me like a manly man and forcing this identity in me, and that stupidity was defaming myself as a paedophile that has only blacklisted me from the metro program. Needless to say, I found my whole situation unfair.

Yesterday my dad told me to take a rest after installing the wheels on a car, where I told him "men don't take rests" out of sarcasm because he's treating me as if I am a manly man. Now, my dad has been asking me why I'm not wearing a jacket whre he will then say, Oh wait, men don't wear jackets. I only implied myself as being a manly man because he was treating me like a man and has even forced me to being a manly man, not my true identity as an adult male. I am an adult male, not manly man.
