Hello.. I have a 17 year old son.. He's taller, bigger and stronger than me.. Lately, he does not listen to me. I asked him where he's going, and he doesn't answer or just tells me to mind my business.. I confronted him once that I changed his diapers when he was a baby... I raised him, fed him and all I want is a little respect... He just says yeah whatever... Honestly, if me and him have a fight he would definitely win... But I also need him to know that I'm his father and that I love and care for him.....

Hey guys. So I like this girl but she just want to have a FWB relationship. I want like a real relationship but she's not into that. Then she got a cute sister. I wanna hit on her younger sister but would it be rude? Her younger sister is 18 incase you thought I was a pedo

I'm not asking this because I look down upon myself and I think I suck at everything. I'm asking this question because I'm bad at everything that could get me money and friends and love. I have horrible social skills. I'm bad at manual labor. I'm bad at simple math but for some reason good at Algebra. I don't want to be a math teacher, that takes too much effort and I would get paid too little for all of the work it takes. I don't even enjoy anything, I don't find anything entertaining anymore. It feels like my life is way more boring than it should be. The only thing that makes me happy and feel good is being around people I like and smoking weed. Not even being around my "family" makes me happy. I'd probably be happy with my real family but I'm living with my ******** brother and my bitchy grandma that I'm not even related to. I have no full blooded family where I live. My brother and I are only half brothers. My brother always wants to fight me because he thinks fighting is fun. I hate fighting because I'm weak and don't know how to fight. My brother is two years younger than me and he can kick my ***, you see what I mean when I say I'm horrible at everything? If there's a God or gods why wouldn't they make me good at something? I would be happy to be good at anything as long as it could help me live a better life.

I'm a 16 year old girl and I have pretty good grades and in 3 months I'm going to be a senior. My sister is done with her first year in college and works at Subway at the same time. She usually goes to sleep at around 3 am watching tv shows with her laptop on and some papers on her desk & my mother thinks that she's just doing her school work but she's not. Then it goes to my little sister who's 3 years younger than me, she cleans the house (sweeps, washes dishes sometimes, cleans the table) and my parents are like oh what a good girl, but when I clean the house they're like "that's what you're supposed to do anyways"..I have terrible anxiety and really low iron levels so I tend to get tired pretty quick and I'm just really scared to talking to people that I even loose by breath. I applied for a summer job and got interviewed like 2 weeks ago ( there was like 70 other kids trying to apply to the same job I applied to) so I doubt I'm going to get it. I have pretty good grades, I'm trying to like talk to people and get a job and everything. A lot of my hair is even falling off. Today I heard my mom talking to my dad on the phone about my little sister doing so good at cleaning, and my big sister thinking of applying to a university that's not here where we live and it's going to get hard. When they talked about me apparently they called my dad from my school saying I wore ripped jeans and that they're not allowed then I got scolded. What can I do? I'm breaking down.

So my cousin goes to college in Iowa, but we live in Texas, so I couldn't go to his graduation. In the summer, his parents are coming, but he's working, so I don't know if he'll come with them. I'm worried that I won't see him anymore.

My in-laws just don't like me and I've tried everything except yell and scream. It seems their mission is to drive me away by sly remarks, attitude, mumbled witticisms, and acting like I don't know a thing about life. Also they complain I don't drink or smoke like I'm some goody goody. I need to know I'm not alone please

Can I use a hotdog (weenie) to masturbate eith IF i put a condom on it? Or a banana if I put a condom on it?

I am 15 years old, and my mom is no longer around. It's just me and my father. I was hoping me and him could do something so I don't feel depressed, but he straight up told me he is going out to dinner with his new girlfriend and her DAUGHTER. I am so ******* sad right now, and my heart physically hurts. He rather spend Mother's Day with another family? I'm just very sad and I don't know if I'm overreacting. What should I do tomorrow?

I appreciate that they care for my health but they act as ig weed is coke or something.

Long story short my dad is one of those big ego narcissistic males that needs everything to go his way. I moved the **** out a couple of years ago because I couldn't stand the man. My mom has put up with him for over 20 years and she finally hit her breaking point. My brother called me and said my dad accused my mom of cheating because she went to go buy some cough medicine from a pharmacy ( my dad needs to give my mom permission to go anywhere) and she saw he was asleep so she didnt think it was a big deal to go buy some real quick. Well dad woke up and saw she wasn't there and a big fight broke out. My mom decided enough was enough she was tired of having her life being controlled by a man that doesn't value her input or feelings ( I am actually surprised she put up with him for over 20 years the guy is nuts) Problem is I barely make enough money to support myself and my mom has zero education or work experience because my dad didn't have the patience to raise kids so he made her stay home. She has solely depended on him and if the divorce happens idk what is going to happen to her or my brothers and sister, oh yea theres 4 kids all under 18 that are still there. I honestly don't think my mom will survive since she has no experience in anything other than raising kids and I don't make enough to support all of them either.

We have been texting for a while, every day. I really like her so I can't go a day without texting her. Normally she texts me back and we talk a lot. And she'll text me a lot of things. But recently she's been texting me "I'll ttyl." When I text her. And she won't text me the whole day. She'll usually next me later into the next day but it won't be a whole lot of words. We would probably exchange a few words and then she'll stop replying until the next day. I've asked what's up and she told me she's just really busy. Does it seem like she's losing interest? Sometimes she does text me a lot but it's like 50 50.

When you have family members that constantly hate on you...but you don't want to hurt them because they are family. *anyone else would be toast*

Second rate I am and so the type who gets frequently forgotten and overlooked on invitations or other outreach. Still people are cordial when they see me and I am welcome at the funerals and have been asked to 2 of the 7 weddings in the last 5 years. Third rate is the totally unknown relatives or hated relatives. I am not them. However, 1st rate is who is welcome at family cook outs, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc and I am not welcome there because of my association with my mother and her bad decisions when I was a kid of banning us from family activities cause her father drank too much. So how do I get promoted to 1st rate? I try hosting a picnic in August each year but only about 1/4 of the family comes. I am 2nd rate so I assume they simply don't know me and so feel weird coming. Christmas and Thanksgiving we are not invited. How do I get promoted to a 1st rate cousin, grandson, nephew, etc....... This is all I obsess about every day.

I understand why because it's his baby but he just shows up whenever he wants to see him and sometimes I'm busy. I'm currently at my Mom's with the baby for mother's day and now he's mad at me for being there. Ugh. I don't know what to do.

I argued about buying me phone but they wont let me have one...i yelled at them about my personal issues that i need one. When i couldnt control my head they made a scene that would make me angry even more..you want to know why? my older brothers WIFE...she was there so she could know about me more...they created a scene that she i have problem..now shes a little distance away from me..she used to admire my works,drawings and ideas that would hack something...like...cleaning,chores etc.... Sometimes she visits her parents house...you know what does she do? Telling them the family story...how was it or something like this... Why would my would do such things to create a scene that would make her understand i have problem..but im not... What i did argued about was positive and they made it negative mixed up creating scene... Im already 21 yrs and pls dont tell to move out....

I'm 17 and I've had struggled with people since I was little. People used to bully me because I was sensible and I was pretty ugly. In middle school they would even beat me up God knows why and I had some worse episodes, but luckily it has stopped. Now in high school everything is okay, but I have a hard time making friends. I envy my classmates who have a blooming social life and I stay home all day. But I guess my past experience lowered my reputation a lot and I'm considered a trash can in this town. I know that once I had a girl in my class who pushed me off the street while I was going to school and called me a whore. I have it hard at home too, my parents never get along and argue everyday. My mum calls me a whore a lot, always finds reasons to argue with me and uses my poor social life to accuse me of being nothing. She has intense pain in one of her legs and uses that as an excuse to seem innocent. My dad is non-existent, he just calls my grandma 6 times a day and goes to her a lot when he's not at work. I get pretty good grades but she shrugs me off everytime saying "x is better than you, he's poor and you have everything you want and you're still a *****". Seriously, I even go to sleep at 9 PM because of her ***** *** and she tells me I only care about dick.

2 families who are our friends abroad were coming to visit our country, and my whole family were really excited to meet them and go on the cruise with them for a day. Me and my dad had an argument because he hit me really hard with a bag and my mom interfered so me and my mom aren't talking to him now. A month ago we brought rly nice outfits to wear for the dinner on the cruise and basically we had it all planned and stuff, and my dad walks off without telling us, visits them and goes on the cruise with them. He didn't even tell us before leaving the house - the only way I found out was because I saw my friend's story. So we've been planning this for over a month and he just decides to go on his own without his family? My mom and I've been feeling kinda betrayed and lonely as we were just stuck at home with the car gone, and nothing to do.

I asked him two days ago. It's for my business. I said I would pay him back with interest but he never replied. I feel like why couldn't he at least say no instead of ignoring me? I can't message him again because that'll look like I'm harassing him. What should I do?

Update to my most recent question. My bed frame broke today, and my sisters new bed frame and mattress arrived. My sister and I are switching rooms, so we were moving my frame into her room. I had been saying for years that I noticed it was starting to break but they didn't listen. The two legs that I said were separating from the base snapped off. Dad thinks it's fixable, but it won't fit through my doorway without being disassembled. I don't see a point in taking it apart when it's evident it's gonma break even more than it already is. The other two legs as well as the platform base are cracking and separating. Similarly to the bed braking, my mom had this vacuum for probably 30 years. The part that plugged into the wall would get so hot and explode off quite frequently. I told her that it was going to break, that it wasn't safe and to throw it away. She kept "fixing" it, until one day the entire plug literally blew up. The power cord exploded and short circuited our entire house's electricity. Honestly I'm surprised it didn't start an electrical fire. She finally got a new vacuum but didn't even acknowledge that I was right. I have more examples but I can't think of them right away. I just don't know why people don't listen to me.

I'm a 14 year old boy and never thought she'd be so gross. It wasn't sex, but she was showing her privates to her boyfriend. He seemed to be really curious. They dont know that I saw them for 5 seconds. I'm still in shock and don't want to face them. I know people talk about it, but I never thought MY SISTER would do it for curiosity!! She's the last person I imagine . I'll never think of her the same way and will always wonder secretly on nights where she doesn't come home till 12am. And it seemed like a slutty thing to do and that's what she did.

This is quite hard to talk about but here it goes. I have a very complicated relationship with my father and I don't if I'm brave enough to see or talk to him again. When I was 4 he molested me, it happened once and he never did it to anyone else, i was sharing a bed with him because I was having nightmares and my mother was working a night shift. I've always believed that it was something he did in a state of dreaming or something but he also apologised to me, so clearly he knew he shouldn't have done it. Just realised how long this all is sorry guys haha, there is a bit more though. He has a mental illness which I won't go into, and after his divorce from my mother all I felt was sympathy for him, he was unemployed and isolated from everyone. I still love my dad but I just break down a bit every time I think about him, let alone hear from him.There are many many other issues between us such as taking my money and anger issues but I won't go into that. Should I make an effort to fix our relationship? I don't know that I can forgive him but I just feel so bad, he's tried so hard to be a better dad in the last three years but I still fell so gross about it all. Im sorry fr the length, any insight is appreciated. I'm a girl by the way.

As Mothers day approaches I always get emotional. See, I never have had a close bond/relationship with my mom and I have no clue why! She's always been distant, never showed me any affection, or real interest in my life. The older I get the more it seems to be taking a toll on me. I really have no fond memories with her at all, even as i child i always wondered what I did to her. She's really self centered, focused on material things and her appearance. What really hurt was when I was home visiting and I picked up her house phone and someone thought I was her and they said, "What? She never told me she had a daughter!" My heart sunk. She had me at 19 but my parents are still together. I have a younger brother and they always shown huge interest in his life, he's 8 years younger so maybe they felt they were making up with their mistakes with me? I also have two daughters that really don't know her or have really spent any quality time with her. I moved far away but when i lived down the street I never got invited to go places with her, but she would always be with my cousin in law who was the same age as me. They would exercise, shop, run errands. I just don't get it. My dad really rides my moms coattails, and ignores my complaints. He knows its true though. My grandmother was my mother figure and everyone knows she played that role. Does anyone know why parents would act like this?
