Back then as a kid, I use to lie. Now I am mature and I always say the truth. My grandmother is ******* crazy and never believes me anymore. She was wondering where I put the tucking summer clothes just because I don t have much left. She thinks I garbadged them but I didn t. Help me before I go ******* crazy killing my self because I think I m a ******* useless piece of ****, even though I know I m not sometimes.

I'm 15. My father abused her and is an alcoholic. When I get the chance I'm going to beat the living **** out of him he's lucky they got divorced. All my Mom ever tried to do was be a good wife and take care of us. He would get drunk every night and beat the **** out of my brother and I. Luckily he never hit my sister because I would go ape ****. This has caused issues for me, my brother, and my younger sister. I now have extreme anxiety, specifically about my health. He doesn't pay child support. My Mom has to take care of 3 kids by herself with no friends or family. She also has a permanent knee injury that limits her mobility. Her Mom (my grandma) passed away a few years ago. My dog who was my Moms comfort passed 6 months ago. Her best friend died 1 month ago. She has nobody. I dont know what to do for her and she hates her life. Why do we have to deal with this? And why did my grandma who was only 59 have to die in her sleep? Why do my other asshole grandparents on my dads side get to live but she doesn't? Why did my dad cheat on my mom when she was the best thing he ever had?

I'm an undergrad right now and they are paying my full undergrad $60,000 tuition. But I'm going to grad school afterwards and my mom says once I graduate she'll give me $25,000 per year to help me out. I know that's a lot but that's like one year of grad school tuition. Even if I get a full scholarship, we live in NYC and I'm planning on going to grad school here. I've lived on the upper east side my entire life and I don't necessarily have to live on the UES once I move out but Manhattan is all I've ever known and I'd like to stay here but $25,000 a year is not enough for even a dingy studio apartment. I know I sound really ungrateful, but I wouldn't be expecting this if they didn't have the money and they DO. They're multimillionaires. And it's not like I'm sitting around on my *** doing nothing and expecting money. I'm gonna go to grad school. Once I have my own job I won't need anything but they can't support their child through grad school? My mom says once my dad gets his inheritance from his parents they'll give me my share right away but that could be like 10 years from now. If they're really that stingy about it, why don't they just give me the expected amount now while I need it and then once I'm financially independent and have a job I'll just pay it back to them once I get my grandparent's inheritance? We've always had a great relationship. They know I'm responsible and they've always trusted me. I don't know why they're withholding it from me. To be clear I'm planning on paying them back once I'm on my feet but I can't while I'm a student, ok? I'm not just expecting them to pay for everything with no pay back but they can give me a loan, alright? Also I'm pretty sure they're not having financial problems given that my mom's getting a promotion soon and they go on week long vacations in Europe and Asia like 3 times a year

I'm a 21-year-old who lives with my parents and siblings who helps pay for groceries, bills, gasoline (for their cars) and whatever my siblings want. I have added up how much both my parents owe me in total but it doesn't seem right because I'm also consuming the groceries, adding to the utility bills, being dropped off at various locations with my parents vehicles, and that I do not pay a single cent to the mortgage even though I live with parents when I'm 21 already. Both parents over the years have paid for my education (my school didn't really educate me), paid for my clothes and uniforms, paid to put a roof over my head, paid to put food on the table, paid the utility bills, and who brought me into this world. I'm thinking of dropping their $7000 debt if their is a justified reason why I should drop it.

More often than not, I've had tons of foster kids who were given smartphones by their birth parents or previous foster parents. The can be as young as 6 years old with tablets. These kids have extremely high rates of child luring and human trafficking cases. Children who cannot be with their families (temporarily) are vulnerable. Like any other typical kids, they get into fights with their friends. With teen girls, cyberbullying is common. Now...my main concern is that, most of them NEVER had an adult monitor them. I don't want to be accused of invading their privacy. Unlike with my biological kids, they've known this rule from Day 1.

I went shopping with my sister at the mall for some new clothes. After we got home and were looking through what we had bought, my sister took out her new bra and said "I want to get a mans opinion on how this looks". I thought she was just going to take it in the living room and show it to my husband. Instead she went into the living room, pulled off her blouse and her old bra and put on the new bra and asked my husband how it looked on her. He immediately got up and left the room without saying a word. Was my husband being rude to my sister for not answering her question and just leaving the room? What do you think?

You might think I'm being ungrateful for saying this but my mom has never been supportive. This morning she told me that I look terrible. Last time she told me that I'm ordinary, plain average, just like everyone else and nothing special. She once told me very straight forward that she doesn't like me. Last week she told me that I'm nothing but a disappointment and when I tried to express my hurt, she told me to shut up. I just feel so bad and hopeless, my father isn't here with us so I have support from no one. I just don't know how I can live anymore. I have a lot of problems with self esteem and school and she always tells me to stop my teenage bullshit when I try to talk to her. She just doesn't care. I can't keep track with the amount of times she tells me I'm stupid or just yells at me when she comes home from work. I'm just so unhappy and I don't know what to do anymore.

Why are they like this? I refuse to get them a phone and teach them to drive. I have isolated them for 9 years by keeping them homeschooled and refusing to drive them anywhere. Public transport is 30 miles from us

I'm a 19 year old female. My mother died just a few days after I was born, because she was very weak. My father was a cruel, alcoholic man who used to hit me violently till I was 9 years old. When his brother (my uncle) found out that I was being abuse by my father, he called the police. My father was in gaol for 2 years, but he never came back to see me again and I don't know where he is right now. I don't have any other relatives except my uncle. My uncle loves me, but he's a strict and cold man, so I never experienced real affection in his house. Living with him is not easy. He has paid for my school a lot, but he has never let me hang out with my friends, dance in parties, go to the cinema or anything else a teenage girl does. So, I'm trying my best to get a job and become independent. I've found out that a family who lives faraway from my uncle's house is in need of a 24 hour caregiver. If I accept this job, I'll be free, but my uncle seems really depressed now that I'm planning to leave him.

Long story short: we were scheduled to leave at 9 because we were going out to eat before we took this long road trip. We have a person to meet at 1 to buy a wedding dress and then we're going to fish at some lake. Our driver likes to be up before the crack of dawn and calls my sister and I at 6:30 a.m. He changed the plan to leave at 9 by making breakfast. No problem except it doesn't take that long to prepare and make french toast and sausage patties. Everything else is all set to go. Why is this driver in a huge rush when we have plenty of time to sit down and eat? And yes he's aggravated because she had her phone off til just now. He has a tendency to change our schedule without consulting us and hates having delays but if we do anything that disrupts his he gets aggravated because that means making changes to his schedule that he didn't want to. So then he complains about not getting things done because we interfered with his plans even though we don't ask him favors unless it's absolutely necessary. Would you consider him controlling?

I want to travel and live abroad in Scotland. Where my ancestors come from. I'm an adult. I've done my research and am saving up. Everyone, other than my mother, are treating me like I'm stupid. Has anyone else gotten treated this way?

My 6 year old got this idea from a little girl at school. Her parents put her in beauty pageants that are absolutely horrific, disturbing and inappropriate! This kid somehow got every other little girl in the classroom begging their parents to let them participate. She comes to school telling her friends all about it. No other parent that I know of is permitting their child to do this either. Lately, I've been noticing that my daughter shows behaviours that she previously did not show. She grew out of temper tantrums a LONG time ago, but she's back at it again. Then there's the bratty attitude that she's suddenly showing. Yep — usually when I ignore her begging is when this starts. She says "it's not fair!" and I will just ignore her until she calms down. I'm not letting my child be sexualized in a room of strangers. My daughter and all the other little girls in that 1st grade class already KNOW that the answer will always be "no" until they are legally adults.

2 decades I've only seen them twice. They supposedly don't like me cause my moms Mexican but it's more than supposed because there's a lot of drama and factual evidence I could bring up. But I turn 19 in some weeks and only met my dad's parents twice. Don't even call them my grandparents. How would you feel if you've never met your grandkids

I am an autistic woman who did not deal with the many pressures that young girls face. Honestly, I feel like I'd do better with a boy or with a girl but with the same condition as me. With most teenage girls - there are body image issues, complex friendships, boys, peer pressure, cyberbullying, "mean girls", etc. That world is very different from the one that I lived, if not, completely unique. I know parents who struggle to raise young teen girls even if they have been in the same position as them. I just want the best for my future kids and nobody has control over what gender the child will be, what will happen or what set of problems they face.

I'm a father of three kids. My eldest son (18), oldest daughter (14), and youngest daughter (9). The other day, we were eating dinner. I forget how the conversation went, but I remember joking that my son has a small penis. When I said those words, my son frowned and didn't say anything. My whole family laughed and my oldest daughter and younger daughter have been teasing him about it today. When they do make jokes, he doesn't respond and dismisses it like he can't even hear them, but the look of irritation is visible on his face. Apparently, my youngest daughter has been telling her friends about this while my oldest daughter won't stop bringing it up. My wife seemed annoyed when I first brought it up, but doesn't really notice the family joking about it. Is it okay to let these jokes continue?
