Since I was 14 and was overweight she started nagging at me to lose the weight and we fought a lot about it. At 16, I lost the weight and my mom just ignores me and tells me to stay in shape. Im 20 now and still single and I have hobbies but I dont understand why my mom stressed my weight and how i look so much?

As of now I live with my mom and stepdad in Florida. And tbh, I absolutely hate living with them. And yeah, I could just go ahead and choose to live my dad and stepmom, but the thing is, is that they live in Georgia. And I don't want to go to an entirely different school because I like the school I'm at right now. I'm just... so sick and tired of coming home every day thinking it's going to be absolute hell. You see, my stepdad gets real angry at the most simplest of mistakes. Usually I'm the one who makes the mistake, like not closing the shower curtain when I get out of the shower. Yeah, I got grounded for that one time. And when I do make bad mistakes he always says things that make me feel more worthless than I already feel. Then, after something like that happens I'd just run into my room and start crying and keep saying how much of a weak and worthless mistake I am. Anyways, my point is I just don't know whether it would be a better idea to stay where I am right now or go live with my dad and stepmom. Can someone please give me advice?

I'm almost 23...all my cousins my age are already getting married and having kids and I'm just here like uh yeah NO. My family thinks Ohio is the center of the world and it's just really sad... I will never settle like they do.. and when I hear about their marriages or kids I literally could not care less... when I'm at family gatherings it literally makes me depressed because their lives are so boring... is this normal?

My cousin's mom was 15 when she had her first baby she's 24 now she's got 3 kids. She had her first baby with my cousin his dad. But she left all 3 of her kids went to North Carolina were in Ohio. Aka she has those 2 other kids by 2 or 3 other different dads. Her daughter is gonna be a whore like she is she's only 4 she's already starting by bossing her brothers around. We took them on vacation yesterday we were leaving the hotel she yelled at the 9 year old saying " go back to bed now ! ". When we were heading home. Their mom is defiantly a whore I never met her but they say she's bad news it sure sounds like it. She doesn't sound like someone I want my wife or daughter around. They said she's been sleeping with men since she was 14 I believe that. Also my cousin who she had her son with is 5 years older than her so she was 15 sleeping with a 20 year old and has a kid with her those other kids the 7 year old and 4 year old aren't his. They got 2 or 3 other dads like I said. I haven't met their dads either I don't think I want too. I love my cousins but she shouldn't have done that. What do you think of her ?

My nephew is 15 years old. He is the most disrespectful, vulgar, and out of control teenager that I have ever met, and my sister refuses to discipline him. She is a single mother and has raised him entirely on her own, but it seems like she has given up on attempting to correct his behavior at this point. He curses at her regularly; insults and calls her horrible names; has hit and thrown things at her; has stolen from her; and leaves the home without asking, including at night. He disrespects her not only in private, but in front of others. We were at my parent's home for a family dinner, and he was arguing with her in the hallway. He began cursing and then slapped her in the face, right in front of all of us. My father attempted to step in, and my nephew cursed at him as well. My sister did nothing; just stood there and allowed him to do all of this, and then made excuses on his behalf. My parents, my brothers and I continually tell her that she needs to do something NOW, but nothing happens. The most frustrating part is that he can be perfectly fine when he wants to, but when she's around, he knows that he can get away with anything and everything. He's disrespectful to everyone else, as well, because he knows she will make excuses and justifications for him. I'm furious at both of them, but I'm also sad for both of them. I'm worried about what he will be like if she doesn't correct him now. What can I do in this situation? How can I get her to be a parent?

They were arguing and the cousin, aged 16, was having a fit like a 2 year old. Still it seemed like abuse to me. His mother, uncle's ex-wife, was not like this at all and much more gentle which I think led to the marital problems and uncle seeing someone else later. So is this over the top or is this okay discipline for a teen since it is not a little kid? This happened back in the 1990's but my cousin just mentioned it recently. Uncle is now deceased.

I know I should be dancing for joy with all the money he gives us but he does not show love like relationship wise. He is also incapable of empathy. Nothing happened in his childhood or family life to make him like this. How do I get him to show emotional love and not just money love and if this is not possible how do I accept it and move on? He was not this bad when we were kids. He has one son he shows emotional love to but not the rest of us. I think that son he is making up to cause the son was a monster as a teen but got his life together and is fine now.

He says that store bought eggs are watery and they taste bad. I can't tell the difference. I have done tests to see if he can really tell the difference and he can. He buys eggs from one of our neighbors.

I never met the guy and my grandfather had not seen him in years and said the guy was not a very good person. The man was estranged from his two daughters even. The cousin I am referring to, my grandfather is wonderful and it is his cousin I am referring to as estranged from his daughters and not a good guy.

It's usually my Mom's family I want to know about so here it is his for a change. He never tells me when my Mom's family gets together so it is like talking to a wall. It hurts greatly. How do I get him to tell me when his family gathers this June? He and his wife (my Mom) go to the beach a lot but I opt to stay home as I don't like traveling with them if it means missing family time here. When he declines the invite people will think I am with him. It hurts when I miss out as I fear not being in the extended family club. So how do I graciously ask my Dad to keep me in the loop about a gathering of his family this summer without him scolding me for caring? He is resentful that I care that much.

I'll be honest, when I'm out & about in public with my daughter, who's 5, about to be 6, I don't always feel comfortable. I became a father at 16, the mother is no longer in her life, simply didn't want to " throw away her future" as she put it, so I am a single parent. Yes, I love being a dad, she's wonderful, but, there are times where we'll be out, she'll say something like, " Daddy, look at that", and I notice a few people giving that, " really? He's the parent?" glance and while it shouldn't get in my head, it does. Obviously I need to get over this because it's not going to magically change, I'll eventually be the 34 yr old dad sitting at the high school graduation, looking like the older cousin. How can I change my thinking?

okay so im 19 years old and im in debt not that much like 1300$. but im having trouble paying it. and ive been hiding it from my parent because i want to deal with it my self and they found out like literally an hour ago and they were furious that i didnt tell them so they could help. and im pissed because i really didnt want them to help and i want to deal with it my self and they opened a mail that had my name on it. i do have a job but i can only work 10 hour a week because of my busy school schedules. im not really that close to my parents because i grew up with my grandma while my parents worked abroad maybe this has something to do with it idk. i just need to get it out so im posting this. my parents just gave me 1300$ and im really pissed because i dont want anyones help on some trouble i got myself into. btw english is not my first language and my dept is just a phone bill

They tell right things through skype, can I make the skype appear for my mom, or shall I stop cause some body becomes hurt around both sides of them, if heard you know their pain is about when there,s an aid but then they can,t get it, I,m also one of the cool I can,t consider need of my mom, I just am a bit proud, i continue for my self till ever also!

Than even learn some social skills to finally make friends

Got my first flat now I'm 20 years old , right now I'm painting my flat up before I move any furniture it'll take a good two weeks as I have no one helping me , on the first day I though this was great I bought paint , rollers and I put £20 in the gas and electric just so I can have coffee & lights on ,5 hours I decided to lock up and head home (to my parents) , I returned to the flat the next day to discover that £20 was down to £11 now I only had one cup of coffee and had one light on in the bedroom that I was painting In made sure to switch everything off I just thought it was odd so I brushed it off and kept on painting, I closed all the doors in the flat , switched off all the plugs and locked the door and headed home after another day of painting, to then returning again with my meter at £8 ? Must be faulty but all my doors were open ?? So I thought about putting peace's of paper on top of the door just small bits so when someone opened them they'd fall , I continued to do the last bit of painting and head home but off course I left paper on each door and switched all lights off , I went to the flat the next day to find that a light had been left on and all the small peace's of paper laying on the floor in each room but all the doors closed this time ? I'm creeped out ? ! Could it just be a faulty meter ? Wind ? Or is their really someone coming into my flat ? A camera is not an option, is there any other ways to find out ? Other than staying a night by myself

I have a big problem right now and I don t know how to choose so when I was around 8-9 my parents got divorced and now they want me to choose go live with my dad in china or live with my mom in Oregon, I don t know want to choose and i m really scared P.S I have lived with my mom for a couple years

Last Saturday my older brother lied to my parents and went out with an acquaintance who is his hairdresser and is in his late 20s. My brother, on the hand, is only 17. His hairdresser then started making unwanted advances to him in the car and took my brother home with him. Apparently, the hairdresser makes sexual advances on many younger males; he proclaims that he's open. The hairdresser made my brother do sexual acts that my brother wasn't comfortable of doing; my brother is pansexual btw. The hairdresser then says he'll buy my brother anything he wants. My brother feels like he's a victim but at the same time wants to continue on. I feel like this is a toxic pedophilic relationship but my brother won't listen. Please put in your advice .

I am sadly behind in life, and was help back a lot. I stayed at home, and took care of the house, and my grandma who couldn't be left a lone. I also helped take care of my mom when she was sick with cancer while having a young child to raise. I am an adult, and more than old enough to make my own audit choices. Most of my friends have kid, married, and engaged. I have a boyfriend whom I really do care about. We been together a little while now. Almost 6 months, but he feel on hard times and is currently broke, but treats me well, and with respect. My dad is upset because he found out from my daughter he spent the night, and we slept in the same bed. My dad thinks its wrong for a couple to live together, or spend the night together unless married. It doesn't matter if you are 16, or 60+ its wrong. He said how when he was my age he didn't do that, and he would be embarrested if they did. How do I deal with dad? We simply won't see eye to eye, and he even said once I get my own place (goal is summer) If I have my boyfriend spend thr night that's horrible and wrong of me. I shouldn't raise my daughter like that We will not see eye to eye

My sister, my parents and I do not have a very great relationship. Currently, i share a room with my sister and she bosses me around when for example, i would have pants on my bed and she would tell me to put it away when she sees me grabbing for it to put in the dirty laundry basket. Then my sister and I argue every SINGLE day and it would be about things that are not personal AT ALL and she would cry about it and call my parents about it and I WOULD GET IN TROUBLE. keep in mind that shes 18 years old and Im 17. Then my sister would never support me and would never take my side and same for my parents, they would always take her side and i feel so hurt because the reason why my parents are taking her side because "they don't wanna get on her bad side" BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? i JUST FEEL like im being treated like **** and plan on moving in with my boyfriends parents next year! Please help me by giving me advice! i really want to move out without them feeling like im betraying them when im not. I just want space.

I'm 16 and my parents are divorced. My father lives in Puerto Rico and my mother lives in the US. I live with my father, and we get along great, I used to live with my mother but I wanted a change. Now that I live with my father, I notice that the schools here are small, small to the point where there are only 2 classes of the same grade! I want to live with my father, but I prefer bigger schools where I can socialize in the US. What should I do? Thank You

So basically this has been happening for the longest time. Since we first moved back in February though its gotten worse. It seems like any little thing that doesht go my mothers way will make her snap at me...right now she tole me not to lie down after eating and i already knew this rule since forever and i said in a tone slightly above my normal voice "Mom i know i never do!" She starts to throw her stuff and get mad saying "DONT YOU F***ING RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME" i was absolutely frightened and i always am. I feel like one slip up and she'll slap me. She hasent slapped me in a long while and im scared she will. She gets so close to me and it scares me. When i was a kid i would get spanked all the time so i got traumatized by it. A couple days ago i was getting upset because my laundry got stuck to each other and my mom got pissed cause i got upset...she yelled in my face and snatched my clothes to, and i quote "Get the f**k out of my face!!" I tried but the dog was in the way and i had to yell at him to move or else ill step on him. I yelled at him and she got in my face yelling at me and i had to try and yell above her to tell her i was yelling at the dog not her. After incidents like these she acts like nothing happened and it makes me so confused!!!! Ive been planning on running away since Jan when it started getting bad. Should i go through with it and run away at 16? I dont wanna be here anymore, i feel trapped and suffocated!!!

Here s the story. While I was in the army I lent my parents 2000 dollars. I told my dad instead of giving me the money back I asked if he could paint the truck I m restoring and he agreed to it. Well now the time has come to paint my truck and my dad is starting issues with it. Any time there is some kind of little disagreement he pulls the " I m not gonna paint your truck for you" card on me. He s using it against me all the time now. Do you guys think maybe I should confront him on getting my 2000 back. Which will suck cause I really wanted my 85 c20 to get painted.

So my family has always said I'm secretive and they want to get to know me. They kinda have been pushing and I decided I wanted to try to reach out to them this time so I tried one of my brothers. I was being friendly trying to learn and get to know him, and then he started getting an attitude I didn't say anything wrong that I know of. Why would he reach out to me and when I try to reach out him he just shunned me?

My son has sensory processing disorder / autism he chews up any and everything. I'm so embarrassed of it because as his parent it falls on to me to pay people back for the things he destroys or chews up. I'm tired of it, he has all sorts of things to keep him from chewing things up but will still chew up furniture, wires, the edges of cabinets, tables, sofas, he chews blankets. I'm at crying point. Today he chewed up my sisters Venetian blinds and I know they're already mad at me for him chewing the paint off their cabinets. How much should I pay them for the damages and how can I redirect my son from chewing things.
