Her extended family (her cousins, aunts, and uncles) like me but her immediate family (My cousins, aunts, and uncles) do not like me cause I am her son.

Today I did not go to school because I was sick but now I feel better and want to go out to buy something to drink. But I think that's a bad idea. But a few months ago I was on vacation and could stay home with no problem but now I get bored and buy unhealthy things.

Dear all, my mum is English, my father is German,but to me, my native language is Dutch because I grew up there until very recently (I'm 16 now). I had to move in with my dad and his second wife, which is why I find myself in an all German speaking environment now. I'm fine because I perfectly understand German but I don't like speaking it. I'm not fluent and I have a strong Dutch accent. My dad has always spoken German to me and I've replied in Dutch. I would be really strange for me to speak German to my dad but that's exactly what my stepmother is expecting because she feels excluded when I speak Dutch. For me, everything is new and I'm a total stranger in Germany, everybody stares at me at school because I'm not one of them and at least at home I would like to continue to speak my native language, at least with my dad. Do you think me step mother is right or am I right? Thank you very much

I asked my mom how old she was and she told me 23. I find this hard to believe because I turn 17 in like 2 or 3 days depending on what day it is now (I don't know). I think it's 2 days. But yeah, that would make her only 6 when she had me. Is it possible she is lying?

The uncle was the one who was drunk and foul.

My mother shared the news yesterday when we were with the other side of my family that the aunt, her sister (actually half-sister), is incapable of seeing hurt and stress she is causing others. She bullies to get her way. She made a scene that caused her mother to collapse due to the stress the day after Thanksgiving last year (I heard that 2nd hand), she has a daughter she completely hates and another one she worships practically. She says things like she told a niece she was unattractive and overweight when she says the niece lied to her. She falsely accused her now ex-husband of adultery (everyone says the accusation was false though I can't say for sure). She belittles I notice and uses people to get other people back. And lastly she puts more selfies on Facebook then any human I have ever known (more then Trump). However, she has a charitable side. She has done work for foster children, she has a horseback riding charity for kids with things like PTSD or Autism, and she is very kind to those who are kind to her (like me though I am distancing myself some). Her parents in the past have let everything slide but since the Thanksgiving scene they have started to crack down on her, especially her father. She is in her late 40's and I assume menopausing. This probably makes it worse. She refuses to come to family events if her brother or this daughter she hates are present. The daughter she hates is 23 and the one she loves is in her early 30's.

I enjoyed the lead up to the reunion, getting the pictures together and picking up two out of town people who came for the day. I did not enjoy the 1st half of the reunion as I was worrying too much (I hosted it). I enjoyed most of the 2nd half however of the reunion. Overall I was glad people had fun but let down that we only had 22 people down from 65 last year and 58 two years ago. So how do I know if I enjoyed it or not? I am the person who had been asking what activities would teens enjoy. One of the let downs was only two of the teens came out of 21. How do I know if I enjoyed this year's family reunion? I feel it is like Christmas where it is a real let down if I did not enjoy it. I am OCD so part of why I obsess on this LAST TIME I WILL ASK

She is my dads daughter, he had her with some random lady and honestly I doubt she is actually his daughter. He is constantly comparing my sisters and I to her and she is awful!! He paid for her college tuition and later he found out that she was using that money to support her three kids that we didn't even know existed. She doesn't know who the dads of the kids are. She is thirty years old and he still supports her. I have a job, I am going to graduate university next year with an engineering degree, I don't ask for money and I help him with anything he needs yet in his eyes I am still a horrible daughter, everything is always my fault and she is absolutely perfect. He is always threatening my family that he is going to leave us for her. Is it bad that I hate her? I feel like I should hate him instead but he is my dad and I want him to love and accept me.

I have a big family and he doesn't. I don't expect him to go to every family events but during bad times i would appreciate if he could be there and be little supporative but nope. He is argung with me how he doesnt like funerals and doesnt want to go. I am like can you please show little respect? How would my dad feel that his son in law didnt come. He doesn't understand that. I asked him how would he feel if i did same thing to him. His response that's fine. I don't expect you to go. I am seriously thinking of my marriage. I feel like I dida mistake getting married to him.

I'm 16 but they r very young, I have school & a life ahead of me & I want to talk to someone who can help take me back to seattle (usa) they told me if I ever contacted someone that could help me go back they would throw me in a harsh boarding school :( My dad doesnt want me back either :(

So Here is the thing I do not trust my bf parents especially his mother with my baby. Long story short. At first when my baby just arrived home I was ok having my bf mom watch my son here and there while I run errands but time and time again. She have given me so many reasons to not trust her. For example She would leave my son on his stomach for tummy time and left him alone while everyone are in the living room. Good thing I went in to check up on him. She sat in the balcony in the hot Florida heat with my son for hours. She used pillow that my cat jump around on and have my son head resting on it. He have had breathing problems everytime she does things like that. These are just a few examples why I do not trust her. Yesterday as I enter a room to look at my son she was behind me and said he s dying and isn't that great?? I was like no he s sleeping. So I told my bf I will not bring our son around his parents at all now. I don't feel right being around them. They are controlling and they give me mixed signal. My son is their one and only grandchild but yet they are acting this way towards him. I don't know why. I told my bf abt it but he just brushes it off because he s close to his parents esp his mother. Give me ur opinions. Thanks

I catch my uncle's wife and her daughter staring at me when I was eating. Like Im blonde with green eyes, and majority of people call me pretty. IDK. I catch my relatives staring at me.

My half mom was born in 2001, me in 2005, our little brothers in 2007, 2009, and 2013. My brothers born in 2007, 2009, and 2013 and I all have the same dad, but my 2001 brother has a different dad. My 2001 brother whoever has the same mom as we do, just different dads. I want to be the oldest! Not a younger (not youngest) brother :(

My step brother and I had sex the other day, is it ok to be in love with him or did he just used me for a one time thing. We haven't talked since then. I have no idea what's going to happen, he keeps ignoring me like I'm not there.

well i went off to winter/summer break and i have nothing to do my sister is talking with her boyfriend all day ..... so i cant use the wifi my mom's at work so yeah my dog id bored of me my lion sees me as dinner and my dad only is on his computer using wifi #2 what should i do

I understand what my dad wants from me and my brother. He wants us to become close, to lean on each other and be best friends. In a perfect world that's how it should be. But to be realistic that might never happen. I am 5 years older than my brother, we live some 4 hours apart and we are completely different people. My brother is introverted, difficult to talk to and not very interested in doing activities. He hangs out with his girlfriend mostly and doesn't really have friends that he sees regularly. I visit my parents and my brother maybe once every 2-3 months. I was there a couple of weeks ago and I planned on spending a night with my brother having a few beers. He cancelled last minute. The day after I got together with some old friends and we went on a boat to fish and hang out. He didn't want to come. This happens almost every time. I can not force him to hang out with me. And every time we do hang out we sit there quietly. Talking to him is like pulling teeth. He is my brother and nothing can change that. But I just don't see us becoming good friends in the near future. I don't want to disappoint my father but it is what it is. And it's not like my brother calls me and wants to do stuff. How can you be close to siblings if you are different people?

you are a good person and an adult. But you have a very very self centered relatives. including an aunt from your father side and an uncle from your mom side. not only that, they are very nosy people. always get into your head. always interfere with your work related problems which you do not need their advice or "help". what would you do?

I'm the youngest in my family, I'm 13. I have 3 siblings, my oldest brother is 38, my sister is 33, and my other brother is 25. My mom is 61 and my dad is 69, turning 70 in November. My grandparents are all dead, everyone is just old and it sucks being the only young person. It sucks having retired parents who just sit around all day and never want to have fun. This all sucks!!! What should I do? Is there like a way to put myself up for adoption and what can I do for that because I can't take this anymore.

After some issues, my uncle left to our home country. Here he left my little cousin who lives with her mom. My aunt is the one that communicates with her mom who rarely responds to my aunt's texts about cousin and wether she can come over to see everybody. It's really annoying to me that we only see her about twice a month or sometimes not even see her for about a month or so. I just want to know if there is anyway my aunt or mom can get joint custody or just something official where we can see her on a somewhat daily basis. Most of the day my cousin is also always staying with her other grandparents since her mom works.

So the question is basically is: Are older brothers more protective of their younger sisters than younger brothers are to their older sisters? Or are younger brothers more protective of their older sisters than older brothers are to their younger sisters?

My daughters mom and I have been separated for almost 4 years, we tried to make it work again and I agreed to pay her bills, we went out on expensive trips and I courted her the best way I could. She moved back in and my daughter was happy but she never showed me affection and slept in the other room, and whenever we went places she never included me in her social media post, making me think she wanted everyone to know she's single. We talked about it and she blocked me on social media sites and she said I was being emotional so after two months I told her I had enough of being left out and feeling isolated and if she couldn't compromise she could leave and she left the next day. Another part of argument was I bought her a 2000 dollar dresser for her to put her clothes in and after over a month she kept all of her belongings in a bag and never moved them into the dresser despite living with us, I paid her bills, we went out to restaurants daily, took trips, but she never wanted to be home if our daughter wasn't there. Was i in the wrong to tell her to get out if she didn't want to give me affection?

I know it's just hormones but other people are complaining to me. They mock 12th graders who show their breasts in a low cut crop top. I doubt that an 18 or 19 year old wouldn't be able to handle it. The boys will go through photos of them - if they encounter a "slutty" college makeup artist or one who shows a lot of skin, it will start. They don't act silly like this towards girls THEIR age (no complaints from school throughout this year). Their preferred age group are women between ages 18-24 who are developed but show skin - and especially those who are involved in the makeup/fashion industry. It's just 12 year old boys being silly. However, there's been several complaints from neighbors who overheard them calling out, or have proof that they may be doing it online too.

My teenage son and his friends tease her about the female body. She started wearing jackets and refuses to show her legs. We are travelling to hot sunny Mexico in August. She can't possibly be there for 7 days... all covered up from head to toe. She doesn't want to swim at the tropical beaches because a swimsuit will not cover her whole body. My daughter walks home from summer school. She's dehydrated, sweating and overwhelmed - she already bought a drink full of ice. I made her take off that jacket, but there was some crying because other people were around. She also got in big trouble with a bunch of older teenage girls (friend's relatives?). Apparently, one of them wore a cropped or short top while she was around. They were talking and asked if my daughter would ever want a dress like that someday. My daughter said she doesn't like "slutty clothes". The other parent spoke to me about her use of words.

I'm 17, and my mom and I are pretty much strangers. I'm not close to anyone in the house except for my little sister, who's 7. The only reason why I have a good relationship with her is because I've been taking care of her since she was born. I gave her baths, babysat her, fed her, changed her diapers/clothes, listened to her "little girl drama," slept in her bed when she was lonely, and cheered her up whenever my parents or 14 year old brother hurts her feelings. Anyway, my mom tells people who terrible our relationship is and how I never tell her anything. I hate it when she does that because she is such a hypocrite. I've made an effort. I tried to talk to her but she tells me to go to my room, to shut up, or to stop bothering her because she's "too busy." When I tell her the things I'm passionate about, she tells me that she doesn't care and would appreciate it if I would shut my mouth. She ignored me and I can't tell her anything! She gets mad and starts yelling at me. I used to go to therapy for a few reasons, and my mom told the therapist that we don't have a good relationship and that it was all my fault. So she, the therapist, went outside for a little bit and left us alone, and it felt so uncomfortable. I always feel really uncomfortable when I'm alone with my mom and I know she feels the same way. I don't know what the hell she wants. She tells people are relationship is ****, and when I make an effort, she doesn't care! What do I do? I didn't go to therapy because of our relationship. I went because of other reasons that are unrelated to my mom. I didn't go by choice either. I was forced into because of my school. Also, the only reason why the therapist left us alone was because she must have sensed how distant my mom and I are.

To begin with, my mom is taking my youngest sister with her. My dad isn't going because he'd rather be going somewhere else, and my oldest sister doesn't want to go. I feel upset because when my mom decided she's going to go, she asked my oldest sister if she wanted to go with her, she said no. She didn't even consider my dad because he would rather go see his friends, and so she asked my youngest sister is she wanted to go. Of course, when does my youngest sister ever say no to a vacation. She goes on more vacations than me This year she's already been on business trips to the U.S and she's also been to Miami with her friend. Now, the major factor is, my mom didn't even consider me. She had already decided she wasn't going to take me. I really want to go, but I don't want to seem desperate for a trip, even though I'm seriously bored of my daily life. I can't even remember the last time I went on a vacation. That was more than 10 years ago. What also upsets me is that, the last time my mom wen on vacation, she took the same sister she is taking now. I feel like she's getting spoiled with vacations. Recently what happened a few weeks ago, one night my sister was at her friend's house and my mom called her to come home. I have no idea what caused my sister to get this pissed off, but my sister swore at my mom a couple of times over the phone. When she came home that night, she went to my parents room to yell at my mom even more. I'd be pissed off if my mom still took her.

So I live with my moms and her family in new orleans. It's nice we live in a very safe suburb. I can do things and go places and work a small job. Hut my father wants me to come out there by him to the bay area (pittsburg). He says I'll have more freedom and will be able to be myself. I dont really trust it as both sides kinda hate each other and licking one always alienates the other. What should I do? I'm 18 years old

My mom has been an in abusive relationship with my dad for years, and it's gotten to the point where I, her oldest daughter..and her don't want to stay here anymore dealing with the abuse for the rest of our lives...my dad has threatened her enough and I'm ready to leave..the problem is we have nowhere to go, we'd have to start from zero..Scratch...the little money she has goes into feeding us, etc..she never got a degree because she wasnt able to as a child, so she has no higher education to get a job..her work right now pays her..idk how much actually, but I know it's not enough to feed me and my brother, and her AND pay rent for a house..gas..etc...what do we do? I want to get out here asap but the only thing holding us back is the financial situation, the fact if we left we wouldn't have $...she said she could get another job, but that'd be night shift and I don't know how I feel knowing my brother would have to not only grow up without a father, but without a mother..because she'd be working.. we'd have to give up sms and internet, which are crucial to our family communication, and in case of emergencies..I'm 14 and I'm old enough to realize what my dad does is wrong..and I love my mother to death...I don't want her to go through this anymore..but don't know what's best..

I rarely help out my brother, but today i did. I went into my parents family sharing to disable my brother from needing to get permission for anything he wanted to download. Im leavingfor college soon, so he'll need the privacy that i wont be able to help him with starting in august. However, my dad saw the email about it. My brother is covering for me till i get home. What can i say to get my parents to see me as helping my brother? Or else, how can i make it seem like i did nothing? (This one seems better, so answer this is you can)

My mom and dad separated about 9 years ago. She never went on a date with a man for those 9 years. She met a man about 3 months ago, and I recently got the news that she's in a relationship with him now. I'm the only one out of my siblings that doesn't like the idea of their relationship. I know I should be happy, but I find it hard to feel happy when she's already changed her dynamic towards me. I feel like she's moving way too fast, and is already talking about marriage. There are a lot of things I don't like about the guy she's seeing, and I have expressed this to her but she seems to be blinded and only argues with me when I bring it up. She's already talking about spending the rest of her life with him. I'm concerned for my mom, and how our relationship is going to change for the worse because I don't find myself ever agreeing with their relationship. Does anyone have advice for a situation like this?

Like she wanted me to look like a model and be "the best girl". I was thin till I was 13, and She body shamed me. forced me on diet, and compared me to other girls. She says nobody like fat woman and my husband will cheat on me if i gain weight.

I have a big family and he doesn't. I don't expect him to go to every family events but durinv bad times i would appreciate if he could be there and be little supporative but nope. He is argung with me how he doesnt like funerals and doesnt want to go. I am like can you please show little respect? How would my dad feel that his son in law didnt come. He doesn't understand that. I am seriously thinking of my marriage.

I feel like leaving my husband. He doesn't want to go anywhere i my family and have to force him to go. Today my unlce passed away and i hope to get lil support from him but i was wrong. He is arguing with me how he doesn't want to go to the funeral. What should i do? I am seriously tired of it.

urgent

My mom is trying to kick me and my brother out since they are struggling to keep the house payments up to date. i dont understand I'm making my parents proud by doing something none of my other brothers have done which is graduating high school on time and going to college. i also have a job that I only make 8.25 a hour i really dont see how i can survive on my own with just making that much money an hour i also live in illinois where jobs and taxes are horrible! i cant get none of my friends to move out and share a apartment. this really does put me in a position where it's going to make it tougher for me to get my dream job which was underwater welding which I am really considering to do welding for two years then commercial for one year but it cost 5k not to mention the payments I have right now which are car payments and motorcycle insurance and last a gym membership which is my whole paycheck!

I would be fine with our religion rules and everything but my step dad puts a ALOT of extra rules that is definitely unnecessary. He ONLY lets me play sports games and that's about it. He doesn't let me go hangout with my bestfriend which is in my neighborhood. He doesn't let me have a phone because there is a lot of inappropriate content and even though I only want to use it to keep updated to my friends and trends.He wants me to be a yes-man to his rules and only his way then he says its "jesus" way. He only thinks about the negative stuff and not whats positive about it. I don't know what to do to and I have 3 years left until I move out. I can't stand him and I'm talking back facts and truth to him but he says I'm disrespecting. I know I will have to stay strong and keep the negative somewhat "suicidal thoughts" off me. If u have an answer please reply and I will read it. Thanks

2 months ago, my wife had a miscarriage. It's gods will. Ever since, she never left the house. She's always either sleeping or crying. I see her like this and it breaks my heart. I'm not a doctor, but I think she's depressed. I booked her an appointment with a psychologist and she doesn't want to go. I brought her parents to stay home with us for a couple of days and she's not doing any better. She used to love yoga. I went to a fitness center and I brought her membership and she didn't go there. Not even once.

I just graduated high school and accepted an offer to Queen's University. I get really good grades but my parents are threatening not to let me go to university in September because I'm apparently too immature. I don't need a lecture on anything about how my parents know what's best for me because I know they're wack. I just need help thinking about what to fill three pages with so that I can hand in this stupid paper to him. So what should I write about, how do you convince someone in three pages to send you to university. I do work full time, I show responsibility most of the time. My mother hates me and is the reason why my dad doesn't want to send me. I don't want to put off my education but if they don't send me I can't pay for it myself because I'm not eligible for grants and loans which is not ideal, unless I emancipate myself which I don't want to because I still love them and they're my family.

My family is extremely toxic. The only house I could afford was right next door to family and I ended up having to move. My family ended up lying on me and getting my girlfriend and I kicked out of that house as well. I bought a camping trailer and my family came and vandalized it to the point that I had to sell it for scrap. The police said there's no evidence of it despite several witnesses, so my only option is to sue if I want anything to come of it. We ended up getting a camper shell for our pickup, sold most of our things and now live in it. I work nights and my girlfriend can't drive so she would sleep in our camper shell while I work. That hasn't been a problem until we got a new manager- he came to me and said they can't have them out in the parking lot. There's really nowhere else for them to go. The only thing we have here is my job. I've cut off my family and neither of us ever really had any good friends. Both of us hate it here. Should I quit my job and move?

I'm a guy btw. So I've liked this girl for about half a year now, and we've both recently graduated HS. We don't see each other that much but when we do spend time w/ each other, we have a great time joking and talking while walking around the neighborhood. She seems really happy to talk to me, but she's like that to everyone so I'm not really sure if there's any hints she likes me to the point of having a real relationship. There's a lot of reasons why I like her, one of the main reasons is her personality and how she's not slu*ty. My intentions are also not sexually motivated, I've never been that type of person to be all about physical features and sex. Heres the BIG PROBLEM I'm battling w/ myself, she's my moms boyfriends daughter... and idk if I should tell my mom or her dad!

Kid is almost 11 and I am having to suffer through peppa pig as a type this. Suggestions to get him to try shows like Danny phantom or Hey Arnold or Ed edd n eddy?
