I ve been raising my child on my own for over 11 yrs with little help from mom. It s getting worse now she a teen. Hitting me, yelling and calling abusive names. Her mom thinks I m at fault instead of her. My child runs over me, doesnt help around house..just lays in bed on ipad..

My 14 year old brother lies all the time, even for minor things. Today while he was plating lunch I asked him if he washed his hands, I was worried because he was playing with his pet hamster earlier. He said yes, but I didn't believe him because his hands were dry, so I asked him to show me the sink. We went back and forth for a bit until he started walking to the sink. It was bone dry but he still refused to admit it. He then started getting mad at me, yelling at me and slamming the door for calling him out, still not admitting he is a liar. He also seems to have some anger issues. He's the type to wear his mood on his sleeve so to speak. Any advice?

I'm 23 wifey is 21 almost 22. I know I have a baby face but that doesn't mean anything. I just feel judged sometimes and it's like I wanted a family. They make me happy and give me a reason to live

So I had my son 8 years ago and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. He was a complete mistake and I would've gotten an abortion but I took to long to make up my mind. I like to go to clubs and party and have fun but he has ruined all of that. I can't see my friends on the weekdays because of him. I drop him off at my brothers house for the weekend so I can relax and enjoy my life. I really just want to get rid of him. He is expensive as well and constantly asks for new toys. I am thinking of telling him that I don't want to see him again and that I should have my brother take care of him from now on. How do I go through with this?

I am Jewish and my housekeeper bothers my while I'm praying. She talks Spanish and I can't understand a word she says. She is annoying. While I am in my room relaxing she comes in and cleans, it really bothers me

She's always made me feel like this since high school. It was especially worse then. She's even trapped me in a corner not letting me leave a conversation just so she could get the last word. She always makes fun of my interests, things that make me happy, very dismissive of my feelings/emotions and engages in subtle put downs. But last night, was the absolute last straw. She came into my room and told me I was stupid, unemotional and that I only care about myself. I spent all last night convincing myself that I'm a horrible person and selfish. I have no money, my best friend is MIA and I just wanna leave far away. I don't know what to do because I have no where to turn except possibly my Grandma's.

This is confusing lol?

Guys i need some serious advice. I have 2 stepdaughters my oldest lets call her jen (not real names) is 12 and my youngest lets call her ken is 10. They moved in with us on fathers day so not even a week . The thing is that their mother called us and said they asked to live with us i had only seen the children twice but i thought that because they asked they would be willing to behave. But oh i was so so wrong. The first day was a nightmare the kids wouldnt go to sleep, their was yelling,fighting you name it. Well last night while my youngest was done showering i called them over with my husband and told them i was 3 months pregnant. I told them they could help me choose baby names as i was a stepdaughter myself and i renember how worried i felt when my stepmom told me she was pregnent so of course i wanted to include them as much as i could. I expected a good reaction but it was the complete opposite. It was actually about 8 and my hub works from 8pmto 6am. So of couse he left and my stepdaughters were in their room looking up baby named (i thought). When i went in to check they started cursing and screaming how much they F* hate me. I tried to calm them down considering i was panicking to the point i felt like i was gonna pass out. Instead of adressing them i told them dinner was ready and thats when my oldest stood up yelled your not my F* mom then proceeded to slap me. I honestly dont know what i should do i told my hubby he said he would talk to her but so far nothing Thank you for your answers i will try some of these techniques i just dont want them to get grounded their first week in the house but i will ask my husband to talk to them again. Im also thinking about taking them to volunteer at the zoo hopefully they will be kind to the new baby. I am starting to think my oldest stepdaughters phone just to make sure considering she doesnt have the best history online do you think its okay to do so without asking her first. Their mom is actually running out of money which is why the kids wanted to come stay with me my wedding was huge and they werent actually even married so i guess his daughters see me as the reason their mom doesnt have money. I knew this and was the reason i was trying to be as kind with the girls as possible because my dad went broke and i know the feeling of thinking theirs even a slight chance you might lose everything. The mom actually seems like she really loves her kids the mom and i talked weeks prior to this she isnt rude and actually very helpful she told us she will be staying in a apartment and asked me to bring over the girls next month. Im thinking that because she was running out of money she let her kids do whatever they wanted in order for them not to get totally depressed i will try to talk to the mom as often as possible so the kids dont see me as a threat. I didnt mean depressed i ment so the kids dont feel like its the end of the world

Nothing else to talk about or something? Always talks about how much I text and deleting my Facebook..I don't get it..

Like Im a year older than her, yet we are in the same grade. When she learned that Im studying Biomedical engineering, she decided to study the same as me. I changed mine to nutrition without anyone knowing, but why would she choose BME? There are other majors I LOVE nutrition, and i realized i wanted engineering for money. But all majors make money.

I didnt live with my mom till I was 8, and it was fine for a year and then my mom and step dad started to fight not just verbally but physically. It has gotten better over the years because my step dad knows I will get involved and I have before but they just lie to the police saying its all fine. All they do is argue, I am an night owl and so I'm up pretty late and I'll be in my room reading a book and hear then still argueing at 4am, then they argue for the rest of the day. Ive tried my mom to just leave because there are people who would help her she just makes up exscuses, my grandma, aunts and uncles have all tried helping my mom. They argue over a damn battery like really are they not adults. Or like they blame one or the other if something goes missing. I am just so tired of it, it has now been almost 6 years of this crap like I just wanna give up, I have 3 younger sisters and tbh I wanna run away and take them with me. And when I do try to tell someone what goes on no one believes me because there is no evidence And my mom just says its fine or doesn't press charges I am trying to start a business because then I could get emancipated but I have to be 16 still And 2 of my younger sisters are my step dads but when it comes to me and my sister that arent biologically his, he is just an *** to us blames me and my sister for things that don't happen Like he says we put our fingers in his drink it gets old and just messed up stuff what can I do because I'm about to run away

We have a family reunion this weekend just for the day Sunday. We are looking for ideas for fun activities. We will be at a park with an area that fits about 60 and about 40 people are coming. I would love to have something that would attract the 5 college age cousins who are too old to be made by their parents to come. Three of the four adult cousins are coming as well as the little kid cousin who is like 5th grade. There is no electricity at this place. So what activities and how might I attract 5 college age cousins?

Often when I really want to be happy I feel sad for no reason. I notice little things of disappointment and can't get over them. For example at the reunion I fear my brain will get me down that it is not as much fun as I had hoped or that the majority couldn't come. I am in therapy and using the doctor's ideas but just curious any additional ideas. It happens for example at Christmas every year. I have OCD Anxiety and some Bipolar.

Every time I get around my fiancé's father and his girlfriend, they somehow bring up the topic of me having kids with my fiancé. Im in my early 20's and so is my fiancé. Im a sophomore in college and he is in training for the Army. Im a work study student and I don't have a car yet but I do have my license. I want to become a Labor and Delivery nurse, so I am pursuing that path. I am clearly no where near ready for a baby, but his father constantly brings it up. My fiancé already has a little daughter and he is a great father, but his previous relationship didn't work out too well. I do have dreams of having at least one child with my man, but definitely not now. He wants a child with me too, but not now. We both want to get ourselves together first before we become fruitful and multiply lol. But every time his father brings up kids with my fiancé I get uncomfortable and I either don't say much, or I desperately try to change the subject. Im pretty sure young girls love discussing their dreams to be a mother, but I get uncomfortable and embarrassed when there is talk about me being a mother, even though I do want kids someday. I know that if I marry my man, I will be a stepmother, which I have absolutely no problem with. I don't know, am I just a weird one? Just for the record, I have put much thought into marrying young, marrying a soldier, and marrying a young father. This engagement wasn't just a last minute thing that Im pretty sure I'll get scolded for but hey, live your best life. I am an adult, not a little girl. I am perfectly capable of making my own decisions and understanding how those decisions will impact my life. I am just a young adult trying to understand my emotions by getting perspectives from the community. I respect all answers.

My favorite celebrity's birthday was the other day and I made a post on facebook to celebrate it. I made gifsets of some of my favorite things he's said in interviews and stuff and wrote a little caption talking about how his work means a lot to me/has had a significant impact on my life. My aunt's birthday was last week, and even though I said happy birthday to her in person and spent the day with her my mom told me yesterday that she was upset I made a post about "some celebrity" but didn't "even" say happy birthday to her on facebook. I've never been one to post a birthday message on someone's wall when I'm just gonna say it in person anyway (I find it to be kind of an empty gesture) so I don't know why she's so bent out of shape about it now. Should I only be allowed to publicly express my appreciation for a celebrity who's work is important to me if I also do the same thing for everyone else on my friends list every year? I feel like my aunt overreacted, but I don't know. Should I apologize to her and make sure to do something public for her next year, or just let it be?

so my mom kicked me out at 14 for being trans. she wants me to wear "girl clothes" have long hair and wear makeup. i'd much rather cut my hair short, bind my chest and present as male. she took away my binder and i'm really dysphoric about my chest. :( what should i do?

Ok so I have these two brothers. 21 and 24. My 24 year old bro asked him to move give him his phone off the charger. So my brother accidentally dropped it and it cracked. The repair is around 200 bucks. Now he's demanding money. So I got invoked I'm 20 so it's not like I'm a little kid. I said I feel that he should not have to pay. We brothers and stuff like this happens. I think he's being selfish my 21 year old bro only makes 11.80 an hour. And he makes 18 bucks it's selfish.

so we ( me, my son, and my parents) moved to a different state in October. we are across country and my son is 2. whenever family visits he gets extememely attached all over again. i don t want to damage him by him thinking people abandon him. they leave in two days and was wondering how you would deal with letting my son say goodbye? should i make it clear they are leaving or not take him to the airport at all? i ve been telling him all week they are just visiting and have to go back home but he cries when i even take him up for a nap or go to the store. he wants the family from out of town to even sleep with him. i feel so heartbroken for him!

Should I spend our slim savings to go? I really want to, but I'm concerned about our financial situation after we come back, we'll most likely be in debt, any advice?
