I'm a huge fan of That 70s Show, but let's face it. Kitty Forman was a lousy mom. A lot of her motherly instincts were out of pure selfishness. Steven and Eric don't want birthday parties, but instead of respecting their wishes, she throws them parties because SHE wants it. It has nothing to do with them. When Eric wants to leave to get married, she tries to turn Red against them, and when he finally gives him his blessing, Kitty goes ballistic. It's all about her and HER needs. She was absolutely ugly to Donna towards the end, hurling nasty insults at her, even though Donna was never like that to her, and Donna just has to take it, because no one wants to tell Kitty what a ***** she was being. Everytime I watch the last episode, I just wanna puke when she gives her speeches to everyone. She's one of the neediest, most selfish moms on television. To make your kid's life hell, because you're too selfish to let them grow up, is the worst mothering there is.

im a 17 year old boy, and my sister is 13. my parents treat my sister way better than me. my parents always compare me, yell at me, lecture and criticize me, guilt trip me, hit me really hard, talk bad about me behind my back, and embarrass me, but never do that to my sister. they also force me to wear diapers and a pacifier, and my mom spoonfeeds me baby food and baby formula, and even makes me wear a bib, sit on a high chair, and sleep in a crib. but they treat my sister like a perfect child, giving her whatever she asks for. and if she gets in trouble, im the one that takes the blame. for example, about 5 months back, her teacher caught her smoking, so she was expelled from her public middle school. my parents just gave my sister a gentle warning, but they yelled at me and beat me with a metal rod she keeps so she can beat me (not my sister), shaved my head bald, and made me crawl around the neighborhood wearing nothing but a diaper and pacifier. on the other hand, my sister never gets grounded when i do something bad. last year i took ap chem, and i scored a 2 on my exam, and they did that to me, but they didn't punish my sister, they only told her how im a "stupid, worthless, fat d*ck that needs to wear diapers" my sister has a nice macbook pro, an iphone x, and expensive clothes, but i dont have any technology; i have to handwrite all my homework, and the only clothes i have are baby's pajamas with feet. i cant go leave my bedroom without my mom following me. she bathes me, brushes my teeth, and watches me as i use the bathroom, and she even wipes my bottom. they put surveillance cameras in my room so they can monitor me when theyre out of the house. my mom follows me to school, and this is so frustrating. but my sister gets to go to sleepovers where there are high school guys and go to the mall every other day, without parents chaperoning. i cant move out (see my 1st update), and i cant call the police or cps, cuz i have no phone. my mom follows me to school every day, so i can talk to my teacher or counselor either. im thinking about jumping out of my bedroom window or taking my one of my mom's kitchen knives and stabbing myself. my parents are out for dinner, and my sister is at her friend's house, so im alone in the house right now, and im using my dad's work tablet @Vetty i cant call child services. i dont have a phone, and im secretly on my dads tablet, which cant call anyone

My sister behaved well over Christmas so it was actually not a Christmas where I hated her. She has gotten mean again but I always give a post-holidays bump where if I didn't hate them over the holidays then I won't do so right after. Now it is March and the holidays long over. Can I go back to not liking her and feeling bad feelings towards her as she is in a terrible mood my parents report. She is 26 going on nine. Growing up my Mom would soften her hatred for people during the holidays while increasing her hatred for others during the holidays. By March she had either cut back on hateful words if they increased for the holidays or added them if she was gentle to her enemy during them. So serious question, can I go back to insulting and not liking my sister again or do I need to wait until spring?

I just read a phrase that says "someone who is mature prefers a silence than having a pointless fight" well I think it is somewhat misleading if you are having someone who works for YOU and being disrespectful. What do you think about that statement and where are you from (country)?

Anyone else hate their mother? Mine is rude, never even compliments me like mothers should with their daughters, she compliments my sister, never me. She only respects my sister and brother, almost like I'm adopted or something, they're my half siblings and I feel like I'm not part of the family half the time, I'm always left out, I hate them all, I'm sick of being treated nasty by them all.

So when I was around 7/8 I was a chubby but not an obese kid. My mum and I went shopping one day and she compared me to a girl in the shop who was wearing one of the tops that my mum had picked out for me & she said " look at this girl , she's skinny and pretty & you're fat!" Another time, I was still around 7/8, she took me shopping for dresses and she called me fat in front of her friend. I really struggle with body image and remembering these words make everything worse. I love my mum but I feel like if she said sorry to me everything would feel a little better. I'm 18 now & I still remember it all

He is in France and I have the number but don't want to break the news to him, want someone else to. I feel we should not wait long. My brother died around 8:00 PM last night in a car crash, he was 16. We are in New York where we live and he lives but he is over there travelling. Obviously we have to tell him soon but everyone wants me to call and I really don't want to be the one. Our step-mother is with him and our grandmother is the adult here with us. My Mom is with us to but she is not related to the son who died. My sister has put it on Facebook already and I don't want them to see it through Facebook.

Like if I did a family reunion one day do I track down my great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather's descendants? I know it is not a reunion without extended family but how far out do you go? I have some distant relatives I would not even know how to contact without cyberstalking them for contacts. Yet my mother's family did one in 1995 and they had 235 people invited and 140 came. Anonymous: Not worried about being invited, I would be the host. Wondering how far out I go.

I'm 21. Haven't worked at all besides taking care of my mom for IHSS. I was a care provider for her and my brother. How she doesn't want me working for her and has stopped all contact between me and my brother. Of he doesn't stick up for himself I will, but he constantly defends my mom. He's scared. I could tell. I was in the same spot. Now that I have stopped my mom's abuse with me She is targeting him. And he is mentally handicapped. Its so f ing pathetic. I can't help him because we won't let me. My older brothers probably felt the same way when I was like this to them too. However, I don't think they are as forgiving or able to forget how bad I used to talk about them. We kind of have a sibling rivalry and they can't put it away. So I stay away from them. Every time they say they want to hang out Its always about how I'm dealing with mom. Like they just want me to feel horrible for how they felt. I'm so pissed at them for this. I said I was sorry but they don't care. They want me to suffer and I know it. You can't argue with me here. So yeah. I was completely manipulated and abused by my mom. I have cut off ties with people who hated my mom and ,now I have no place to call home. I'm almost getting kicked out and I don't know what to do pls help..

How far out until your not related anymore? Would my 12th cousin 3 times removed be related?

We are adults so it is not like I have to like her anymore. It still hurts though and I am worried she will get others not to like me.

He knows he is lying but due to his arrogance and narrow mind he keeps doing it. He is a bad man.

Hello, Some info... I'm 27, and I've never had a job. I don't even have an education. I was trying to get my GED, but recently, I've given up due to struggling with both depression and a relapse in my anorexia nervosa. Most days, I stay in my bed literally all day. I do still take showers, ect. I've been living with my half-brother (55) for 5 yrs & he buys all my necessities (i.e. food, clothes, etc). He has anger issues. His anger episodes have become less frequent than they were. In fact, he hadn't had an episode toward me for 3 months straight. He had one tonight, though. Here's what happened... He was trying to talk to me about my depression or whatever, and that I needed a hobby. I agree. However, I POLITELY asked him several times to leave me alone because I had a massive headache & didn't feel good in general. He was refusing to leave & kept running his mouth (like always), so I started being a bit angry, as well as sarcastic toward him. That p*ssed him off. He literally picked up my small that I had next to my bed and he slammed it hard on the ground, totally destroying it. He did this after throwing & breaking all of my stuff that I had on it. He shattered a bunch of glass all over my room. He then threatened to hit me if I didn't shut up (I was calling him an a*shole). He didn't. I was crying & he just told me stop. He told me he gets mad like that, because he cares about me so much and it hurts him to see me in bed all day... Is his anger normal? Thanks Sorry, that was supposed to say, " he literally picked up my small desk... "

Lightskinned Latino dad, asian mom and a baby

i was born on 2nd November 1998. I lived with my divorced dad, unmarried paternal aunt and my paternal grandmother. My childhood was pretty luxurious, good and optimistic. I mean, I literally had everything in my life and my house was very Big (by Size) and had servants and maids there. I was not taught religion or anything in my childhood about Life as my Dad was like 24/7 busy. I started school when I was 6 and at the same time my dad remarried. My step mother is nice and then my 3 sisters came to this world, I am happy with them. Yes things were good only for me but not for my dad and my step mother because there were many cases my dad had to solve on the court and all my paternal uncles were like enemy of my dad and paternal aunts were enemy of my step mother. On 31st October 2011 (just 2 days before I turned 13), my dad died and suddenly we lost everything. Our property was stole and literally nothing was left except me, my step mother and my 3 step sisters. Now as you know, I lived luxurious life, I didn't know what life is actually like. I was practically Zero. I never had hardships in life but I wasted my teens. My dad's enemies started to take revenge from me and my step mother and this was the time my worldview started to change. And I often asked myself in teens "IS THIS LIFE?". I hope you guys got an idea what kind of bad stuff could be done to a widow and small children.

I have a 9 year old who is very mature. A 8 year old who is very immature , a 2 year old and a pitbull. The 8 yo is self sufficient but can't take care of the 2 yo. The 9 yo is really good with the baby tho. The pitbull can take care of anybody who comes to the house unwanted. Can I leave this combination home alone for 3 to 4 hours? BTW the pitbull would never harm those kids. The 9 and 8 year olds are girls, the 2 yo is a boy Jeff you are an idiot. The pitbull will not kill everybody. It is not cruel, sometimes it is necessary. The 3 kids play together unsupervised upstairs for hours on end.I'm just asking if I need to go out while they are playing together. Also this has happened before for 2 days while I was in hospital. There was technically an adult there which is why the police allowed it but it was an 18 yo guy with no experience who got stuck there until I got back but the kids and dog took care of themselves

Get ready, this is gonna be a long one. One of the main things that happen at our house is siblings stealing other siblings snacks. Which I'm not a fan of. I always ask before I take a handful, but the favor isn't returned. the thing with my mom is if you try to explain the situation like a normal person she gets twice as mad. (My dad is your average not wanting to get involved kinda dad and always takes moms side to the point where if mom tries to start a argument he "yes dears" himself out of it) now here's where it gets important. I had done some shopping for my grandma and as a reward she gave me a bag of Cheetos. The next day I went back to grandmas to hang out and left my Cheetos on the counter, when I got back 3/4 of the bag was GONE. I didn't act winey or anything no, I calmly asked why most of the bag was missing to which she said "we all had some" I told her I was upset because I would have happily shared if they had just asked me first (is that too much to ask?) and then she said I was get ready...... "selfish" yes, selfish. After I had just finished explaining how I would have shared. I told her this, and she said "how black is your heart right now?" (We're Christian) and I hate it when my mom tries to do stuff like this. Of course my dad took her side as well as one of my siblings who also helped themselves to my snack. Surely I'm not just crazy right? Note: I had a much longer story with lots of details but had to shorten it thanks to yahoos limit.

It's given me all of my hopes and dream. Albeit I am white male, but my parents worked their tails offffff to provide for my brother and I. Instead of raising us in Yonkers my dad moved to Bergen courtyard NJ and married my mom and they almost didn't make it. But they are stubborn and willed if, saving and taking extra jobs. Why should I feel bad to my AA friends when we both love each other like brothers when we're from the same area but different neighborhoods.

My dad is my only living relative. I'm now 22 and moved out. I live with my partner, I have a good paying job and we're making our way through life. My dad bought me a new car last year as a late "graduation" present, as I was the only one in our family to have graduated high school, and he didn't attend. I found out this year that he's been into heavy drug use. I know he at least has been using methamphetamine. He's been overly paranoid and self-destructive because of it. Today my boyfriend and I went to look at a vehicle that we've been looking for for a very long time. We were so confident that we could afford this vehicle that we put our down payment on it and we are set to get the vehicle and work out the financing later this week. But as soon as I called my dad to tell him, he begged me to not buy it and to do something else. "It's too big. It takes too much gas. You're paying too much." He's very angry and condescending. He did this with moving out, he did this with adopting our pets, he did this with notions of adopting a pet. He has done this every time we have moved. It takes every ounce of confidence out of me. I feel like I can't accomplish anything. There's so much more, but between what's recently happened and things that have happened over my life, I wonder if it would be better if I just cut ties with him and moved on with my life? But I feel obligated to stay close because of the car? I don't know what to do.

So I live with my husband, his brother and his son. We live in a small 3 bed house, we have been saving for a bigger house and were all going to live together there too. But now the brothers teenage kid is getting out of jail and is coming to live with us. Well now I dont want that, I am basucally raising the other kid and now there is this teenager. I have no kids of my own so I feel overwhelmed with this responsibility being forced on me. I told my bf I want to move out and start our own life but he just stays quiet and gives real answers We will have no privacy and be cramped in this little house. Im am looking for advice how to talk aproach this better.

He always burp in my face and he just won't stop or even sometimes he will come to see me in my room burp and close the door again I try talking to him but it's just making it worse what should I do

My parents especially my stepfather gives me no privacy and micromanage every move I make! Help!!! Advice????

I really want to fix this because i feel so bad for my sister . we don't even talk to our own family because of our mom but it's reasons . please help me fix my family

So basically i had this book, it was a book called little witch academia and today i realized it was missing. i asked my mom where it was and she told me she threw it away i searched her room and i couldnt find it, i got in to a fight with her and asked why she threw it away she said because if i read that im "going to hell" (its not even a bad book so idek why..) and as we were fighting she told me i was ugly and she told me that i should read a bible instead or im going to hell and i told her "no the bible is boring" and she refuses to give me my book back.. im only 12 but im really sensitive and im crying because im so upset about this.. i just want my book back :( and she told me that "god told her" i cant read it.. shes f*cking insane.. please help..

I don't know why, but I get extremely nervous if I eat new foods. I don't know why, but I do. They pushed me today and I really didn't enjoy that. They're probably trying to help me, but I get extremely uncomfortable when I do eat new things, I don't even eat at public places. I wish they would understand this, but if I told them they wouldn't believe me and probably force me into doing more.

So I've had a drum set for a few years now. When I first got it, i started going to lessons and progressing pretty well. I could now play all my favorite songs from System of a Down and stuff. But the lessons were pretty expensive, so i just bought the book he was using to teach me, and started using that. That was ok, but now i'm losing interest in my drum set mainly because my parents really like to congratulate me whenever i do anything remotely expressive, that be singing, dancing, or playing the drums. I've haven't danced in years but i used to when i was little, but my parents always were like "Oh my god, you're dancing so well!" and it made me feel bad for some reason. Whenever i sang as a child, my parents would always go "Ohh! You're singing so nice!" and i knew i was not. I believe the reason why i progressed so well in my drum lessons is because i had a small soundproof room to play in, and my drum teacher actually critiqued me and didn't fake compliments. Now whenever I play my drums, my parents come into the garage and tell me things like "Oh that was so good!" or "Very nice!" and i always feel like crap because usually i messed up a part or I just don't think what i played was remotely good. I don't know if this feeling is shared by anyone else. Does anyone else have this feeling?

My grandma recently gave me the medal of honor my grampa got in Korea. He passed away a few years ago and he was a good man,a family man. Sometimes when I would ask him about the medal or when someone interviewing him was asking him how does it feel to be a hero he would answer " I'm not a hero,true heroes never return". The fact is,he lived his life accomplishing great things and everytime I hold this in my hands I feel like I can't compare to him. To me it's still surreal when I hear even strangers referring to him as a hero as to me he was just "granpa". He taught me many things in life,to be humble,to have respect for others. To me it's bittersweet looking at this because it tells me he was brave and that he's no longer here. What can I do to live up to his standard? I thought about going to donate blood,it's not much but I think that's something he would be proud of.

My boyfriend had a very sad childhood both of his parents were abusive to a degree but he really loves his mother. My dad is passed away but I see my boyfriend who'll soon be my husband bonding with his dad and having fun and laughing in pictures to me it's weird because when we started dating he told me everything that happened. He won't introduce me to him but he sent him a picture of us. I know there's a lot of drama with his parents

Im so freaking tired of my cousin. He acts like a girl literally. Sometimes I think he gay. He always touches my things without asking and lies when I confront him. He irratates me to the point where I don't ever want to talk to him. He is 10 years old and acts like he a 20 year old, Im 14. Today, I was pushing him because he was trying to get something that's mine and he cried because I was pushing him. He gets loud when I say "Stop doing that". He hit me with a hard cover book and that made me angry and I tried to hit him but his mother started pushing me and she had a problem. She then threw my coat outside. Im just tired of them. Any advice?

Sorry to pick a nonsense answer for best answer but I was really impressed with the creativity of the person I gave best answer to so I could not resist. Below his are the two productive answers and one smartass answer.
