He turns 30 June next year and still has to get up a 5am for work and do a lot of heavy lifting. My son will 30 on New Years Day and had to quit his job in an office because getting up early was dangerous for his health. Both men are old men now and need to take it easy, you shouldn't be having to get up early at such an advanced age. My poor son can barely get out of bed in the morning, he has aches and pains, gets out of breath walking and has put on a lot of weight but my nephew insists he feels strong and healthy as he always has done, he walks to and from work everyday which is a 2 mile walk!!! He insists he likes walking and doesn't get tired or out of breath. Is this denial?

She died few hours ago but I didn't really know her, I used to see her like every 4-5 months and when I turned 13 my family and I moved out and I haven't see her for 2 years, I saw her again and for the last time when I turned 15 which was 3 years ago and now I'm 18 and I heard she died few hours ago due to cancer and I felt a ĺittle sad but not much sad and what I'm thinking about is the muay thai training I'm going to have tomorrow and I'm excited because I bought new cloth and I can't force myself to be sad, should I be ashamed of myself?

Hi. 6 months ago i lost my mother to cancer since then me and my siblings are worried about our dad. our parents were together for over 35 years had five children together all are grown now, even though he was still technically married to his wife and lived with her he loved my mom unconditionally. we all have been grieving her loss but we notice his health is starting to decline now and he's been depressed. he's always been a hard working and excellent father and provider my sister said he can't walk by the room with her pictures without breaking down crying she also has told me whenever they talked over the phone he cried about mom which is understandable. she said he can die from a broken heart. is that even possible? just wondering - Thanks

Her mom just passed away this year and she is having a quinceañera. Her quince is today but even if I do want to go, I don't have an outfit planned and my hair isn't ready either. I feel that her situation is really tense since she misses her mom a lot. Even if I do go, she will probably spend most of the time with her friends and other family members.

I love my mom, she's a strong woman & i am sure i wouldn't be who i am now without her. But lately i am just feeling desapointed and restrained toward her. I have a lot to be said but cannot say it, a lot to talk about but can't face her. She's the kind of woman who doesn't like the "no". She doesn't hesitate a moment before giving my things away to anyone including those not in need while she will tire you before giving you to buy smth new. I am a minimalist & i have a simple way of living. I don't buy make up. I don't buy accessories. I didn't buy new shoes for years now if you can see the picture. My mom is so strict with us while she can be so geneous with others. She can give a cousin of mine a big amount of money that i wouldn't dream of obtaining easily for a purpose of course, just because she has settled her mind into thinking that she is in need and her family is poor while it's not true at least she has an equal way of life and a better closet than me ( as she has married sisters who work with good salaries and another abroad). I just feel like they're using my mom. Me and my sister and brother do not like to ask her for money as she's the kind of woman who will suffocate you with talking about how much she speds on you all the time. I have 23 years old and i know i have no right to talk like that as i am responsible for myself but i am still a student it's normal in my country to be dependet on your parents at this age espicially if you have an excuse like studie I just feel like this is not how a normal person should live. plus, my mome has a good salary.

My daughters and I just found out iOS 12 had been released, albeit quite late, and I was excited about the screen time feature, as it will allow me to monitor our usage, via family sharing. In all honesty, we're probably addicted to our phones. My 12 year old has no problem with it, but my 17 year old believes it is an invasion of her privacy and that I have no right to monitor her phone activity that strictly. Her words, not mine. I know she has nothing to hide, as I perform weekly checks to make sure she's not doing anything bad. I'm pretty tech-savvy (and by tech-savvy, I do mean I just read the apple forums when I have an issue, but I couldn't find anything on this topic, so maybe not exactly tech-savvy, haha. 😂), and know quite a few of the tricks for hiding bad things, but none of those are foolproof, and I check for them each time. I trust that she isn't doing anything her grandmother wouldn't approve of, which is the rule we have in place. She said that she turned off screen time, does this mean I'm not able to see her app usage? (Oh, and if I can't, don't suggest that I turn it back on when I check her phone, it won't help, as she'll turn it right back off. She's threatening to leave the family. I haven't set up family screen time monitoring yet, mainly because I think she could have a point, and I don't want to be a helicopter parent.)

I've been a Little Monster (the fandom name for Lady Gaga) for 10 years now. My sister only just started liking Gaga a few weeks ago. I haven't had time to see A Star Is Born yet, but I'm FINALLY seeing it tomorrow with my boyfriend. However, my sister saw it yesterday with two of her friends. I think it's unfair that she saw it first because I've been a huge fan of Gaga for 10 years, yet she only liked Gaga for 3 weeks. Is it unfair?

Father: you guys need to go to bed it's past 10. And turn the lights off if ur not using the room House guest: do you wanna smoke or drink? Father: no. I don't drink and I don't smoke. I don't get the people who do that **** Father talking to mom: I come home from work and you haven't cooked any ****** dinner? All u people are lazy Dad talking to son: get off that ****** game of yours and go get a job Dad talking to daughter: you look like a 500 pound whale. You need to stop eating so much miss piggy You guys make me sick. Son if u die from the alcohol it won't phase me one bit. I ****** hate you anyway Common words from the dad: oh well. That's tough. U don't like it? Get the **** outta my house. I don't care. That's no excuse. You're a loser if you use drugs and alcohol to ease the pain. Girl get ur fat *** out of ur room and do these dishes. Do u like being the eating machine? Son I'm talking to you. Did u forget ur ****** name? You must be gay. Cause you spend the night at ur buddies house. I bet u guys do each other in the ***. You like that *****?

My mom always conveniently leaves the house right before my grandparents come visit with some dumb excuse. Do you think she actually "has to get groceries" or she is avoiding having to talk to them?

I really want to go and see A Star Is Born. I've been a huge little monster since around 2008/2009, but my mum absolutely hates Lady Gaga. Because she hates Lady Gaga so much, she won't let me see the film. I keep asking her every day if I can go and watch it with my friends, but I keep getting the same reply, which is her saying "no" and how much she hates Lady Gaga. Is this a crap reason for my mum to not let me go and see A Star Is Born?

My dog got sick and almost died 2 weeks ago. My mother lives 90 miles away in a 5-bedroom house and doesn't like my dog since he peed on table legs before. At first, she said I could bring him and if I go get a hair cut or to the store, I could put him in the bathroom. Well, he barked in the bathroom, which bothered my father who is retired so now that is a no-go. I said I could come to watch my nephew's soccer game and he could stay for 2 hours in the bathroom. They said no, they don't want the dog there unless I sit with him and watch him now I decided with all the nagging about the dog, I would just stay home and not see the nephew's soccer game. I could have a walker if I knew they would not allow him at all, but it was the night before when they informed me of that rule. Now, it is going to be Thanksgiving and I was out of the country a few years and lately spent the holidays with them with my cat and the dog. My Dad complains that I don't stay long when I visit so I said okay, I could telework from their house, but on the Friday after, I would need to work. My Mom refuses to have a walker enter her house (she doesn't like strangers) and so now, since they also require that I stay there and watch the dog constantly and not put him in the bathroom, I decided I am just going to stay home. The dog is better but I don't want to board him. Is it unreasonable just to stay home for the holidays and not deal with the nagging about the animals at their house??

I love my mother a lot and she went through a lot for me, but she treats me like a child and it is humiliating. She lives with me as I earn well, but she does things that are embarrassing. She first talks about financial matters to all her friends. I earn well, but I don't want people to know my finances. She calls the vet who is a woman and we're the same age late 20s, barges into my room with her to get the dog and I'm in my underwear. She laughs it off. She does that with other people too and then laughs it off. I rent a flat nearby where I take my dates, but every once in a while I bring one home. She will do everything in her power to talk to that date and tell her crazy stuff. She once called me naughty boy because I missed my dentist appointment. Whenever I tell her that I will let her in the house and buy another, she starts emotionally blackmailing me. I don't know what to do, but it is getting ridiculous. I am afraid to leave her with my father because he is aggressive and they've had issues in the past. I'm honestly losing my mind. She is the stereotypical mother who doesn't acknowledge that time flew and treats her son like he's 14 years old.

I don't think my Dad would if it were just him but for my Mom he and she both tremble at the thought of arriving late for Easter brunch. They tremble at the thought of visiting my Dad's family also at Christmas for it would displease my Mom's mother. They tremble at the thought of not being free for dinner one Sunday night. They tremble in fear of my Mom's mother, my maternal grandmother. Is this okay or is this unhealthy like I feel it is? They even hold grudges for her. My Mom went as far as putting her over my Dad if he objects and yet they totally neglect my grandmother on my Dad's side who I go check on, the reason, it would take time away from my grandmother on my Mom's side who they fear. She is not that scary so I don't get their fear but my grandfather on my Mom's side, who died long ago, was apparently a very scary man.

There are issues that I am right on and they are being wrong and immoral. I don't know how to handle it as they are my parents, I am supposed to idolize them.

i am a 23 year old male engineer , who just finished collage , i work hard form 7 a to 7 pm , i don live with my parents stilll though they wanna control me , they wanna arrange my marriage forcefully , its a difficult thing for me to even try to have an argument with them , they are a bin laden sympathizers , i don discuss religion with them at all and if i play any video game in my free time they get pissed off so hard , they even want me to get a another job !! what am i suppose to do , they are authoritarian , and society really permit such a mentality and encourage it , a muslim society sucks there is no freedom here ,i don even live with them ad they wanna enforce their laws on me , i don take a cent from them but they always like hey we raised you any help what to do ??

Do you think it would be inappropriate to take photos of your baby to honor their father for veterans day? My husband got out of the Marines shortly before we decide to start a family. With veterans day coming up I had an idea to take photos of our daughter with his dog tags for a way to honor him for his service. My husband is very quiet about the fact he served, but his family is full of veterans... I just don't know if it would come off offensive or Sweet to honor him in a such a way.. and I don't really know how to ask this question to anyone else without feeling dumb lol, what's your thoughts...

My dad died with no will and I assumed step-mom inherited everything, including their jointly owned home. She recently told me she's selling the home, and sold all his assets. She is moving in with my half sister, who I think will financially benefit from the sale of the house. My dad also owned a successful business which she will eventually shut down. Again, my half-sister's financial status will improve since she can live off of the income my the business is generating. I have a feeling she knew she would benefit greatly if step-mom moved in. I don't want to take legal action because I don't want to fight with my step mom and her family. But I dislike how she went about telling me she is selling the house a month before putting it on the market. When I asked if I could have anything of dad's for personal keepsake she said she already sold it. She told me I should have asked for it after his death, but I think she would have been offended. If I had known she was slowly selling his belongings off, I would have asked. Something seems fishy and my half-sister has been awfully quiet about everything. So can she sell that house without sharing the proceeds with my father's heirs (4 children)? Or does she keep all the proceeds and leave what she wishes to her two biological children? She lives in IL and I live out of state. I am really upset that it was all done behind my back and that half-siblings have rights to his assets without asking. I don't simply because I'm not blood.

halloween is right around the corner and so my church was giving away free bags of candy corn candy corn tastes like *** imo but my dad loves it so i got him a bag and when he found it he YELLED at me for teasing with him unhealthy food and said he'd ground me if i did it again my dad only weighs like 164 pounds but he was like "oh it'll ruin my teeth" like ***** just let loose for once fml, im so tired of my dad what can I do about this?

I am a college student full time working only weekends (which isn't enough obviously) that struggles a lot at home financially and emotionally. my mom makes me feel like the whole world turned against me. I can't ever talk to her without her locking herself in her own bubble of her thoughts, when I need a favor shes always busy. (when she's not) she's not that friend I can talk to . at my home I can't study in peace. they always loud and atrocious and don't understand or care that I'm trying to make something out of myself. well I've had enough from this anger inside and my mom putting me down that I plan to move out. I need to be alone . even if it means I drop out of school and never accomplish my dreams but I feel like this world just hates me and I would like tips on running away.

I just had an argument with my mom, I'm 17, senior year, and I have a D in two classes, it isn't because I'm not trying it's just stressful but I do try and I know I'm going to pass by the end of the year, I do my assignments I just struggle a bit. But my mom doesn't see it that way, she was getting pissed and then telling the other siblings. She began checking their homework too saying she didn't want them to be like me. We aregued again and I got pissed because she's acting like I'm not trying when I really am. I cried twice after the arguments. Then she came into the room and tried telling me not to be mad and saying it's just because she was worried about me and all that, she tried to hug me but I really wanted to be alone and I accidentally said "I don't trust you" when she asked why I don't tell her what happens in school that's causing me to have two D's. That's what got her, she asked why and I said I don't wanna hear her criticisim (as always). She started saying that I'm only using her as a provider and that I only think about myself. She called me selfish and started crying, still saying I only see her as a provider. It's just hard to trust someone who constantly says you have no common sense or that you're stupid almost everyday, but now I don't know what to do.

So my mom looked through my sisters texts and found she swears in conversations with friends, which they do as well. But seeing this, my mom freaks out and takes it away. Is this seem a bit overreacting... or not?

My stepdad told me to do the dishes but I feel like it's unfair because it seems like I am always doing chores while my other siblings don't do anything and I was upset so I ended up just "washing" the dishes without using dish detergent and just rinsing them, I know this is dangerous but I hid the dishes where no one could use them. Was I being too passive aggressive and disobedient? I didn't have the energy to argue because I knew it would get out of hand

My stepdad told me to wash dishes but when I "washed" them I purposely just rinsed them and didn't wash them with dish detergent

Hi, im just wondering what this means. My step dad is constantly trying to find something wrong i did, telling me how much i cost him and my mom, and telling me to move out. More so "if you dont like, move out". He is even complaining because im not getting night shifts at work. It makes me think he really doesnt want me here anymore, that i did something wrong. He does still do a lot for me though so thats where i am confused. I cant ask my friend as they try to avoid talking about it becasue they say they dont knpw hpw to respond. My step mom and dad dont care about me so im wondering if i just make people hate me...i guess it only a matter of time before my mom hates me too. Sorry about typos. Typing on a tablet.

OK. So I ordered a couple of breakfast through Uber eats the other day. They were supposed to come with coffee. Unfortunately, they didn't. I asked the driver, But she said she knew nothing about it. She also didn't speak very good English. I was a bit pissed off, so I contacted Uber Eats and they did nothing, save for a short apology note, It happened several times before, and they usually either credit with me the money towards another meal, or gave me a partial refund. This time, nothing happened at all! They just brushed me off. So what can I do? Should I contact my credit card company, which would be a bit petty? Or can I do something else? This really pisses me off!

If so, how hard is it being on both sides of the family? are you close to your siblings that don't have the same last name as you?

Uncontrolled mouth, insightful that he's on his 3rd marriage, divides a nation, pretty much indicative of a POOR leader. Particularly his MOUTH, and now refusing to own up to his failed leadership style that has ripped this nation into two. At least a football coach after a loss will get up before the media and say, " we didn't coach well enough, we need to do a better job, I didn't do enough to prepare them. What do you get out of this LOSER in the White House????? Blame everyone else, and refuse to admit to an uncontrolled divisive tongue, GO FIGURE HUH?

Our father likely had 100 children I was told.

They only once let him fall flat on his face and rebound. Rather they gave him too many chances and enabled other then once. They felt guilty the one time they let him experience tough love.

They divorced 8 years ago and we have not seen her since. She was a bully. However, I got along okay with her in their six year marriage and I just saw her Mom died. Her mother was like the only person she got along with as she was estranged from her father at her own doing and her two brothers were distant though not estranged. So would I be disrespectful to my brother to send a condolence email to his ex-wife? I still have her email. I did not attend the funeral for the mother as that was 5 hours away.

The brother is no saint. They are mad cause he left his wife and is selfish about money in the estate. Our grandparents have all died. However, my parents won't see his son who is very nice and innocent in all this. They are mad that I am getting together with the cousin (and thus his Dad) tomorrow. Are my parents wrong or am I the wrong one? I avoided the enemy brother of my Mom's when it was just him here in August but this time I am agreeing to lunch as I like the son who I played with as a kid (we are the same age).

What do I do if my grandfather does not call back? Do I call and remind him of my interest or is that rude? Also if they don't have time how do I get over my disappointment of not getting to see this cousin (I'd really like to see him as it has been a long time). He is in town for a funeral today on the other side of his family and leaving first thing Sunday with his Dad to go home. They will be out and about tomorrow and might have a chance to call me my grandfather said. The might made me think they might not have time. I will be crushed. How do I get over this disappointment if it does not work out and is it rude to contact Grandpa again? Should I just wait to hear from him?

He holds a grudge against two, especially one, of his in-laws (my step-mother's family). He did this to my Mom and it ended his 12 year marriage to her. He didn't learn. He used to be bitter to a 3rd member of her family but that person has come around to good terms with him now.

He's rude to people , teases me badly ,makes fun of me , snitches on me , and talks bad around me. He's gotten everything he wants since he was little and he's gotten away with everything. He wants like the world revevolves around him. He is spoiled.I've told my parents and they don't believe me. Any suggestions?

For weeks I had been telling my sister I wanted to go out to the beach, a hike, SOMETHING. But we did Nothing. We both don't have any friends and I don't get along with our other two siblings. Suddenly after an argument my sister and I had, she's been leaving to hangout with them all week. I'm sitting at home alone crying right now. I feel trapped. Theyre all dead to me.
