Family: Question: Is it wrong to think that my sister should move out?

Question: Is it wrong to think that my sister should move out?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 01:07 PM PDT

I am 16 and my sister is 17. I've been getting irritated by her laziness because she always stays upstairs while I'm the only one helping my mom clean the kitchen and all. When my parents are gone to hang out, she puts her plate in the sink without bothering to wash the dishes or take out the dishes from the dishwasher. I'm always the one cleaning and acting like the older sister! She has never done NOTHING it's like she doesn't care about us cleaning. Her room is always smelly and messy. She uses her chickenpox as an excuse but it's been 11 days since her blisters appeared and she just got the vaccine after feeling well. My parents have told her to stop her nonsense but she doesn't listen AT ALL. She also participates in marching band with a stupid teacher who is lazy and wastes my parents time driving my sister back and forth to practice while they have NEVER made it to finals. My parents tell her to quit because it's affecting her grades but she never listens and still signs up for more band classes for senior year. She also puts up videos of this Markiplier cussing a lot and video of other YouTubers cussing on the TV right in front of my little sister (8) an doesn't seem to care at all. She turns 18 in February, and she has a hard time finding summer jobs. I want her to move out after she's graduates because I'm tired of her not contributing to the family and not being responsible as an older sister. Is it wrong to think she should get out of the house next summer?

Question: How do i deal with my mom?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 12:54 PM PDT

I'm 16 and I'm a girl. I have acne on my forehead and my mother doesn't let me buy acne cream or face wash saying I'm "too small" for that. I don't want to remove the acne to look "beautiful" I want to remove it because it is itchy and sometimes it hurts. Also I have leg hair that I want to shave off because I'm in the volleyball team and I wear shorts but my mother doesn't let me remove it because I'm" too young". (I see 14 yr olds shaving their legs..). She also doesn't let me wear deodorant saying I don't need it because I'm small. I have to put perfume on my armpits so I don't smell that bad. When i want to go out, she doesnt let me saying I'm too young. The library is a block away from where I live and I have my 12 yr old brother I can go with, but she still doesn't let me. She doesnt let me do my hair, because she always does it for me even though i want to do it. She still follows me to the bus stop in the mornings and I know she's doing this because she cares for me but I think she needs to realize that I'm growing up. I'm not a 5 year old anymore. I need to be more independent. What should I do?

Question: Don’t you think this is sad?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 12:40 PM PDT

So I work at my local grocery store. The other day a man came through my line and after I checked everything out his total was 60 something dollars. He looked at the screen and got really red and said oh no I only have $35. I had long line so I had to figure something out quick. I told him he can pick what to put back and I'll put it back for him but he hesitated and then I said I can put it on hold for him so he could go home and get more money cuz he had cash so I figured maybe he had more somewhere. Nope it seemed he didn't want to do that either. Now I had to get my line moving so I just said I'll cover it because it was only $25. I am kind of annoyed that he wasn't more careful and idk if he deserved it but I'm still happy I paid for him. But that's not the sad part. I went home that night and my mom asked how work went so I told her about this man and she looked at me disappointedly and went off about how nobody would ever do that for us (I come from a kinda poor family) and that I shouldn't have wasted money on that guy. She said people aren't nice so I shouldnt be nice to them. I think it's sad she has this outlook on life. I've seen good things happen. And plus the guy actually paid me back with interest today. When I told her she didn't care though. I feel bad my mom feels this way. She's pessimistic. What are your thoughts?

Question: Why is my sister so shy and sensitive at age 18 and even cried when someone made fun of her?

Question: Why do adopted children have higher statistics of behavioural issues?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 11:12 AM PDT

Even though most people were adopted as babies, there's still a higher rate. If you look it up, multiple sources say that adopted kids are more likely to start fights at school, lower academic grades, act out without thinking about right/wrong, etc. Most adoptive parents are statistically more involved in their lives too - but these kids don't reflect that. It does say that, however, most adopted people ARE well-adjusted, well-raised and successful... but they have a higher statistic of suicides and drug abuse than the general non-adopted population.

Question: My dad died unexpectedly. How do I cope?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 11:07 AM PDT

My dad died at 51 in an accident about two weeks ago. I'm only 20. Everything feels so impossible and I have no energy to do anything. Eating, chores around my house, working out, things that can distract me from this. Everything is monumental and I'm not sure where to begin. Despite holding the viewing and funeral last week I feel like it's all so unreal. How can I begin to cope?

Question: Is my mom dating my ex husband?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 10:59 AM PDT

My mom works in the same large office building as my ex husband. There is a popular restaurant on the first floor of the office building. One day mom was waiting to be seated and my ex husband Jim came in and saw her and invited her to join him for lunch. Never being one to pass up a free lunch, she did. She said they had a great lunch and a fun conversation. This has happened 3 times in the last year. Mom just adored Jim when we were married and that did not change after the divorce. I did not know any of this until Mom told me about it. She said she wanted me to know from her. She did not want someone that knows me to call her and tell me that mom was on a date with my ex husband. I asked mom if she planned to do it again and she said she might. She denied it was a date. She said it was just two friends having lunch together. I am really confused about this. I don't want my mom dating my ex husband. Do you think she is? I told my mom about my concerns and she told me that I should join her the next time she had lunch with my ex. We remained friends after our divorce so I don't think it will be a problem or will it? Please give me some advice on what I should do. Should I join them for lunch or would it be awkward?

Question: Am I being over protective of my son?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 10:55 AM PDT

My son and I are very close. He is in high school and in one of his classes he is the only guy. He thinks that is great as he is friends with all the girls. The girls in his class tease him all the time about being the only guy in class and he LOVES it. He says it makes the class so much fun. He came home from class today and said "Mom, the girls in the class asked me if I was hung. Can I show them? I told him "NO NO NO". "That would get him in BIG TROUBLE". He might get suspended from school or reported to the police. Then he said "Can I tell them I would gag Linda Lovelace"? Again the answer is NO. YOU CAN NOT TALK ABOUT SEX WITH THESE GIRLS IN CLASS EVER. He said "But mom, they ask me". I am going to try to get him out of that class before he does something stupid and gets in trouble. He will not be happy but I think I had better act now before something happens. He thinks I am being overly protective. Am I?

Question: My parent might leave forever?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 10:21 AM PDT

My parent and grandparent got in a fight. Parent wants to leave for some time or permanently, that's undecided but being seriously considered (we all live in the same house). Should i be supportive or should i stop it from happening? If i should stop it, how do i? And if i do end up stopping it, what do i do afterwards to help my parents feel better and to be able to get through it better next time?

Question: What was or is the relationship like with your mother? Close, best friends, distant?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 09:38 AM PDT

We've had our ups and downs for sure but we are really good friends and so close.

Question: My dad is angry and he s thinking bad thoughts?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 09:09 AM PDT

U know how when people get married, they accept everything about them, incuding the family they come from? Meaning that u marry into them as well. Well, my dad and grandpa had a fight and now my dad is thinking of calling the police on him so they take him to the hospital. However, the only problem my grandfather has is the same attitude every elder gets when they get to a certain age: being stubborn. The idea of calling grandmother to handle grandfather was even said, from father s own mouth. Don t get me wrong, sure when u run into a stum, u need to call someone who can get it out of the way, but sometimes u have to solve your own problems. That out of the way, this is my question: how can i make my father suffer less? As in, help him calm down or show him that someone actually was listening or cares and isn t completely against him. I can t go near him qhile his angry is still raw but when he s calm enough, how can i do that? Please help i d like him to have a little less turmoil inside him.

Question: My brother is a raging teenager. He called my mother the C word. Is this normal teen misbehavior or is this over the top?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 08:48 AM PDT

Our parents act like it is normal, I find it over the top. He also pulled a knife on her.

Question: My Dad is an alcoholic and the whole family on his side says it is my fault. What do I do?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 08:46 AM PDT

His wife and two kids I mean by his family (not his siblings or parents as they do not blame me). I feel so guilty now. They blame me cause I am the son from his previous marriage and I should have seen it coming and stopped it. Also because I cover up for him and was a difficult teenager. Both my parents had remarried and had kids with their new spouses so I rebelled.

Question: How can I get my dad to stop eating my stuff?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 08:15 AM PDT

I worked really hard baking a bunch of zucinni breads that I wanted to have for myself and to save for fall via freezing so I could have them at college. I even picked the zucinni myself. When I brought them home my dad promised not to eat any of it. He has always taken all my food in the past before I could even have a taste or has taken my leftovers over night. (The breads are also full of sugar and he's diabetic). Well he's been eating it. And this morning I came in to him eating a huge slice, bigger than all the slices I've eaten combined. Now almost all of my big first loaf is gone. I called him out on it and he got cruel with me. He always eats everything of mine, takes huge portions, and never feels any sympathy.

Question: A little worried about going to college due to family?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 07:50 AM PDT

I'll be going away for college around the end of August and I'm excited but my a worried about a few things st home with my family. 1. My father is an alcoholic. He's alright sometimes but other times he's verbally abusive to pretty much everyone and yells and gets impatient easily. My mother and father argues from time to time. Either my older brother or myself would break it up. I just kinda worried about my mom arguing with him tbh. 2. I have two older brothers they're 20 and 14. I'm worried about my little brother. He's already not too social and he's starting high school and I just don't want to him to have deal with my fathers bs too. I know I'm the one he talks to most. We shared a room and everything and he's not close to my older brother or our parents. So with me being gone I feel that he might have it hard but I do plan to tell him to call me if anything is wrong but idk if he will.. 3. She's not family but I really like this girl that I met at a job I used to work at. I felt like we really connected but I don't want a long distance relationship. I'm hoping to meet a girl at college but I'll miss her. Are these valid reasons not to go to a good college out of state? I'm almost thinking of attending a community college around home. But I don't want to regret that decision..

Question: My mom hit me?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 07:40 AM PDT

Ok ok I know... I'm a 16 year old boy and a lot of you are going to see this as not serious but hear me out My mom's been stressing a lot lately because of her job. She asked why I never spend time with her anymore and I honestly answered it's because she just always wants me to do work for her (like basic chores nothing serious). That turned out to be a huge mistake as she started yelling at me full volume for about 2 hours about how she has so much work and I won't even help her with the smallest thing. It turns out my sister took my car to go to her job and I was without a ride to my internship which was in the afternoon. My mom who was already really mad at me starts slapping me and calls me "******* retarded" and "a stupid idiot." I don't know if other people deal with this regularly but my mom is normally really nice and loving and this is the last thing I would expect from her. As I'm changing into work clothes I can't stop crying. When I get in the car she tells me to "stop ******* crying." She drives me to her office as thats the only place I can stay if I want a ride and starts yelling at me again for being too lazy and hits me. She also keeps slamming the steering wheel with her fist. TLDR; I was sort of rude to my mom on accident and she gets really mad and hits me and now I don't know what to do. Please help

Question: How can I make my future kids get along and have a good relationship if my sibling relationship with my sister was a living hell?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 06:50 AM PDT

Guys please I need answers, I am from Brazil, and my relationship with my sister, well, my family in general is a ******* living hell! I am being treated from a depression, taking my medication and they left me alone for a few days, the day after they came home I told them I cleaned the whole house, they came home saying I was a shitty cleaner, that the thing I must learn in life is to be a housewife, like my priority is to be a housewife you know? And they yelled at me and tried to punch me everytime, my mom yelled: "stop screaming and crying you *****, no one will hear you! You are just the shitty girl people are gonna hear screaming! My mom never asked me how I felt when she came home, she just cared about the clean house and also told me my depression is an excuse, that I am a piece of ****, etc etc, and they always do this to me! They never care if I get good grades in school, if the house is not clean then they never congrats me! She took a broom just to punch me and even tho she couldn't beat me (she knows what would happen if she beat me) she hurt me emotionally! And then, she only told me: go on vacation with me, but do not stay crying or feeling down or being hurt or any of this bulshit of yours. I am scared as **** for the future, I wanna have a beautiful family, with the man or the woman that will make me happy, with my beautiful children, with a cat and a dog...... please guys, help me, how could I just be better then they were to me? Getting away?

Question: How To Comfortably Sleep On A Park Bench?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 05:06 AM PDT

About 6-7 years ago I was diagnosed with Tourettes. It's been hell. I get constant **** from my family to shut the hell up cus they're trying to sleep. I feel like it's the boiling water on the hot stove, I was abused as a child mentally, emotionally and verbally (And some physical) by my mother - as well as verbally by my brother. Fast forward to 2018. I'm currently staying with my nana and brother who lives here too. My mom will be staying too for a while because her and her boyfriend are separating after 13 years (She's ******* psycho. I'm suprised he lasted that long). She is the most controlling, passive aggressive person I've ever met and I just wish I never had to see her again. I t's very hard to control my vocal tics at night, and with HER staying over for a while while she finds a condo to buy, it's gonna be absolute hell. I'm angry enough at everything and I Don't wanna deal with her BS screaming. I've dealt with enough of that as a child, I've decided that since I'm not ready to hang myself yet, I'll walk to the park with my blanket and pillows and sleep on the park bench, she won't be kept up and she won't scream at me and I won't live in fear that she'll open the door and start screaming. I'm not happy about this, but I have to deal with it since this is my fault and I can't control it. So if anyone has any tips on how to comfortably sleep on the park bench and actually be able to fall asleep and not get mugged or beat up - that would be great

Question: Decision to move or stay?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 05:00 AM PDT

Recently my parents had an argument since my mother suspects my father is dating or living with other women. However, my mother has mostly treated me as a "information seeker", she mostly asks me questions about my father. Did he text you? What did he say? Would you tell him this? All sorts of crap to the point where I get annoyed. But, I've seen proof where my dad is with other women. My father and I do believe my mother is sick in her mind, but I also believe he's with other women. I'm on both sides of this argument, my father told me to tell him and my mother on what I don't like and how I feel, he also threatened my mother to put restrictions on her. My father has always been there for me and acted as an emotional support to me unlike my mother, my mother was loving and caring to me but didn't really help me as much. My mother said she would move and asked me if I would go with her, I ultimately feel as if I don't want to be with her anymore but at the same time, I am upset at my father at what he has done. My mother has told me that if I want to stay with my father, my "stepmother", and "stepsister" I can, she said this in a nasty way and I didn't respond since I didn't know what to say. I don't want to move from where I live, the schools here are fantastic and where my mother wants to go (my grandparents) in Los Angeles, the schools aren't as great. Im just a teenager, I want my mother and father to be happy, what should I do? I'm an only child so it's just me and my parents

Question: Alcoholism runs in my family and I feel guilt for it everyday even though I don't drink. How do I rid myself of this toxic shame?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 04:55 AM PDT

I blame myself cause my mother had to move away from the family to protect me as a kid. I feel things would have been fine if my siblings and I had never been born. The alcoholic died in 2009 but I still feel the irrational guilt and shame of it being partially my fault that my mother became estranged from her family and is still rather distant. We are 2nd rate relatives now. By 2nd rate I mean we are not friends with anyone in the family and we participate a little (funerals, a reunion, some weddings) but not a lot (not holidays, other weddings, the other two reunions, etc....). We are 2nd rate thanks to my birth, my siblings births, the alcoholic grandfather and an uncle with it also. and my Mom's grudge holding. So I am 1/4 the problem.

Question: Dream about racism?

Posted: 23 Jul 2018 04:34 AM PDT

Last night, I had a dream an old cranky white man with a gray ponytail called me and a two other people I was with the n-word. I stood up and said "At least we didn't come to you." until it shuts up. We went to a lady who was related to one of us (a mom) for advice, because the racist person lied to one of us who isn't related to the mom. The racist man was setting a pillow on fire 🔥 in a wagon and stomping on it with his boots. I didn't know why. He was also playing trap music, which I don't think is real music. The mom was playing gospel. What do you think this means? I looked it up and research either says I am being too judgmental or I am being judged by people around me. In real life, my sister doesn't include me in activities with family, because deep down, I don't think she cares about me, anymore. I feel like it has something to do with being autistic. She thinks I'm annoying and always yell when really I just don't like the way my family treats me. They treat me like I should get used to people being unfair, or I'm being selfish or stubborn. My sister is a job jumper and I get passed on for lack of experience. I haven't been nice to her, lately, due to her not caring about me and excluding me in the family.

Question: How do I deal with some neighbor children scaring my 7 year old daughter with ghost stories?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 11:17 PM PDT

They all go to school together but summer break is still here. Years ago, a young girl was sexually assaulted from her school. Kids still make up stories about her. I tell my daughter that they're lies to scare people. From what her teachers said— this girl is alive and went off to high school. She is at least 16 years old today. I spoke to the neighbors' parents and got my child to stop playing with them. However, I think she'll eventually hear it again when school starts. Unfortunately, this is the "infamous" story with different versions (it seems so). Kids just don't seem to forget it, adding the made-up part that she died and haunts the school/students, etc.

Question: Am I Overthinking My Situation at Home?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 11:12 PM PDT

Basically, I am a 17 year old senior - male, who's going to graduate next year and I really want to get out of the house. Not solely for academic reasons, but more importantly my overprotecting mom. I heard that overprotective parents love their kids more, but I believe it's been impacting me in a negative way. My mother who has raised me alone, taught me to basically always stay home and never leave the nest for whatever reason, but I really want to pursue my academics to being a doctor by going to a top state school, but my mother really wants me to be a businessman and go to a local community college, so I can be home and watch my 15 year old brother when she goes for her part time job. Not only does she want me to stay home, I cannot join after school sports and do ASB positions because it requires a meeting after school for an hour. Nor can I go out with my friends at the weekends, I have a curfew at 4PM and I cannot go anywhere basically without my mother. I am pretty sure I am also not spoiled because we have not been going out to restaurants or buying clothes for fun. Also, she restricts me from using technology. I have an iPhone 4, but once I arrive home I have to hand it to her, nor can I watch TV, but I have a desktop computer in my living room that I can use freely, but mind you it's over 10 years old and everyone can see what I am doing. Also I cannot drive until I am 21, because I am deemed irresponsible because I lost my wallet when I was 10. To sum up my point, should I leave my family for my passion or stay to be overtly nurtured by my mother? I have more scenarios than this but the letter count max is only 500

Question: How can I convince my parents that I don’t need therapy if im 13 years old?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 10:09 PM PDT

They're worried that I play with mostly little kids and not people my age. Theres some specialist guy who wants to test my thinking skills. I have to answer all his questions, do what he says and he reports it back to my parents. Then they decide if I need therapy or extra help. There's nothing wrong with me, I swear! I'm perfectly normal and okay. My parents STILL insist that I get checked before 8th grade, because they want my school to know what happened. It's just that I can't relate to kids my age, and I don't care about most stuff that are teenager-like. I hung out alone in middle school, but i play with the little kids in my neighbourhood. That special doctor who decides if I have a problem will say whether I need therapy or not. If he says yes, my parents are gonna send me there.

Question: How to get revenge on your little brother?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 10:08 PM PDT

My little brother is super mean. He's five years younger than me, and it makes me look weak, I guess. He is super physical, like pushing, and hitting, throwing, biting, and all that. I'm stronger than him, but he still does all this stuff and I'm super sick of it. And I can't fight back, because my parents are pretty strict. Can I get revenge without being physical?

Question: How do i deal with my overprotective parents?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 09:57 PM PDT

Hi I'm 16 and I have really strict and overprotective parents. They choose most of the clothes for me even if I don't like the clothes. They follow me to the fricking (sorry for my language) stop every morning saying there are rapists but the neighborhood I live in is pretty calm. Like wth I am a rising junior. The students in the other bus stops don't have their parents following them around. They dont let me go to stores or even to the library that are 2 blocks away from the house. I ALWAYS have to go with them wherever I need to go. I have a younger brother (12) who I can go with, but nope, not allowed. I see my closest friends having fun in places like the mall or the park, and I never get to be part of the fun because my parents don't let me go out with them. I have no privacy whatsoever. My parents are always snooping around my phone, looking at the texts between me and my friends. Jeez, I can't even have a lock screen (with a pin) because they say that I don't trust them and I'm like, but what if I lose my phone [then my info will be stolen]. They still would not listen. I'm an A student, I'm mature and I don't know what they want from me to grant me more freedom. I'm not an 8 year old anymore. Ugh I don't know what to do. Please help me

Question: When can I take a pregnancy test?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 09:21 PM PDT

Started taking birth control late May for the first time. My last period started May 3rd. The birth control threw my next period off then a few weeks later I had unprotected sex but he did not fully ejaculate inside me. The last two days I've had brown spotting and either minor cramping or moments of very intense, painful cramping. My breasts are sore but barely. When is it appropriate to take a pregnancy test?

Question: Why am I always more willing to help everyone else besides my own family?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 08:17 PM PDT

I don't have a reason to not want to help my family in any way I can. But I find myself going out of my way for those who aren't my family. Why is this? I feel terrible for it.

Question: My Mom allowed me to be around her brother's sex-offender brother in law but not my own alcoholic grandfather. Was this neglect?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 06:36 PM PDT

She was mad at my grandfather so she grounded me from any event he was at. She claimed it was to be protective but I feel she was just using us kids as pawns to get her father back for falling into alcoholism and not getting help. All my cousins still got to see him so I have guilt the rest of my life that I didn't. Yet my mother did allow us to see the brother in law of an uncle she got along with. This brother in law was charged with attempted forcible rape in 1985 and we have learned since his death that he was a pedophile also and abused his sister and the daughter of one of his brothers (the child abuser died last year in a ATV accident). So was my mother negligent to allow us around the pedophile but not an alcoholic? The alcoholic grandfather was never violent or a threat other then being moody and maybe us having to leave early which is what my cousins did.

Question: Is it weird that I refer to my mom's boyfriend as my stepdad in conversation?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 05:04 PM PDT

So, my mom moved in a really good "friend" of hers into our basement and he's still there. She had him move in with us when his mother died. I think she has some weird commitment issues, because she doesn't acknowledge their romantic relationship to me or to the rest of our family. I'm not stupid. They kiss, and go out on Valentine's day. But when I ask my mom (who's divorced from my dad that I see twice a month) she says she won't ever marry him. That's so selfish of her, but I won't get into it. I think of him as a father figure, he's so kind and generous, and I love him. So, I say he's my stepdad because it's two syllables and doesn't require me to disclose anything else. How would you feel about this and what would you call him if you were me?

Question: Why am I so stupid and a loser in life?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 04:31 PM PDT

I'm a 30 year old male, never had a father growing up because he was too busy beating my siblings and I, he never taught me how to do manly things so I cant fix anything. I fee like I cant depend on myself for anything. I'm horrible at math, science, I'm not mechanically inclined whatsoever and I've failed everything I've tired in life. I was in special ed in high school. Do I have a learning disability? Also, I feel like I have sleep apnea and I cant remember things could that be the problem too? I just want to die literally. I'm 30 and going nowhere in life. I'm so envious of everybody else whose super smart and have great lives!

Question: What is going on with my mother?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 02:13 PM PDT

I recently lost 100 pounds so now my mother is trying to lose weight. I get new shoes and my mother gets the same kind. I get my hair dyed a colour, she gets her hair dyed the same colour. I get copied all of the time. Any time I get something new that she sees, I see it at her house the next time I come around. When I order food, she orders the same thing, and adds an expensive appetizer and makes hers the same, but better. Do you see the pattern? I do. It's been going on my entire life and it's driving me mad. What is going on?

Question: Parents making me join frat ugh. Help!?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 02:13 PM PDT

So both of my parents are black greeks as is one of my grandmothers so I guess it runs in the family. I am both of my parents first and only child. Now that I'm going into my sophomore year of college at Indiana University, my dads alma matter my parents, particularly my dad are making me pledge the frat that he pledged in his undergrad days. He even got back into good financial standing so that I could benefit from the legacy status. The thing is that I am not into it like how my parents are. It looks like a lot of work and to put it bluntly I just do not care about it, I have researched it and found out that the pledge process is pretty intense and has a nice amount of limitations regarding what you can and can't do both on campus and you aren't allowed to post to social media which is one of my favorite things to do. I also do not think they would take me as a member because I am wild, stubbourn and hardheaded and smoke a lot of weed and drink a lot and this organization is what my dad would call "prestigious". Plus it is expensive and while my family is pretty well off I do not want my parents to spend $2000 on something that I don't even want. I have expressed my concerns about it to my and we have went back and forth about it for a year and my parents just aren't relenting and they are still making me do it. I have more or less just taken a bad, kinda nonchalant attitude on it. How do I make the best of it because either way they are making me do it ugh?

Question: My 10 year old daughter is a tomboy. Will this become an issue in the teenage years?

Posted: 22 Jul 2018 02:12 PM PDT

My daughter is more physical than emotional. She plays with boys in the park, at school and in camp. Shopping is a burden for her. She's never even picked out her own clothes because she "doesn't care" as long as they fit her. I don't think she's had a female friend since preschool. She's way better at socializing with guys than with girls. I'm thinking about the long run so far. Puberty starts at 12 or 13 for most young girls (and boys). If she still only hangs out with boys by then, things may start changing. I've tried getting her to go on "girl's days" and attending girl camps. So far it has not worked. She'll make small talk but does not develop actual friendships. I don't think there's that much we could do, it's part of who she is.
